Chapter 3
A visitor at Midnight
I quietly tip-toed down the staircase. The sound of snoring came from the room on the left, I knew my parents were asleep I found the keys on the table and as quiet as a mouse I unlocked the door a sigh of relief escaped me.
I ran as fast as I could down the lane-way, my heart beating in my ears and my legs aching yet I has a uncomfortable feeling I was been watched.
I spotted James , his blonde hair gave him away "Yo Andre! Your late!"Scolded James who was wearing a grey gap jumper and tight skinny jeans "Sorry"I apologised glad that I hasn't missed the party. Soon my friends were surrounding me. Loud music was pounding in my ears, I dipped a strawberry into the dark , swirling chocolate fountain that was bubbling away "Delicious! I said to myself.
"My father got attacked today" I said to my mates while eating a hot dog, James eyes widen with shock "That scary" he repiled, Kevin who was short and had black messed up hair offered me a bowl of smith chips the Dj waved at me. I waved back knowing it was Luke "Since your last person to come, you have to climb the my roof to fetch the red ball in the gutter" smirked Kevin a loud cheer came from all the school kids. But some other school kids looked at each other with concern, I scratched my head nervously "Umm.." "Come on Andre! You can do it! encouraged James, Luke and the rest of the kids started chanting my name "Andre, Andre" I sighed "I'll do it" I responsed confidently a louder cheer came again.
"Just climb the ladder all the way to the top and then your off" explained Kevin giving me a smile , my hands were shaking as I climbed up 'What if I fell from the roof?' I though all the dreadful thoughts came to me but I swallowed my fear continuing to climb. I finally reached the roof's edge and I spotted a worn-out ball in gutter, I unsteadily climbed up on to the metal and slowly walked forward. Now my hands were shaking uncontrollably I took a quick glance over the edge, the school kids below and James, Kevin and Luke looked like mini ants.
Suddenly a strong wind swept in and I accidentally lost my footing. I started sliding down the roof looking around desperately for something to grab onto and just in time I grabbed the gutter's edge, I was so close to plunging to my death. The sound of the metal creaking indicated that the gutter's edge was going to break in any minute.
Screams and gasps came from below and I could hear James's angry yelling at Kevin "You idiot! Andre could have just died then! Are you trying kill him or something! "yelled James to Kevin. I closed my eyes tightly, my hands were starting to sweat, my arms were aching I couldn't hold on for much longer then strangely I felt like I was been was been pulled up by my school shirt's collar by someone.
I opened my eyes realizing I wasn't alone anymore, a another boy was helping me up yet I noticed the boy's eyes looked bloodly red like the color of blood and his hair was jet black.
When I was safely up on the roof the mysterious boy looked down at me and gave me a what I think was a faint smile then stood up, he thrusted the old ball to me "Andre!" came James voice from the ladder I turned my head slightly to James then back around to look at the mysterious stranger but to my surprise the boy was gone like the wind "Are you ok? asked James looking down at me with concern, I nodded "You..didn't see the other boy on the roof? James shook his head with confusion "Go home and rest" suggested James helping me down.
I stumbled through the door like a drunk person, I dumped the keys back on the table and shook my head 'what a night' I though to myself. That an experience I won't forget. My parents were amazingly still asleep, snoring away like there was no tomorrow suddenly the lights turned on automatically like someone had turned them on I was quite surprise but I wad too tired to try and find out.
I walked into my bedroom and checked my watch. Its was Midnight.
I changed into my sleepwear and undid my bed. I was about to jump into my bed and check Facebook when I realised I hadn't even started my Year 9 homework I panicked, my mother was going to be furious and she would punish me for a whole year, I rushed to my desk then stopped. Blinking for a couple seconds 'That strange, I don't recall doing my homework' I said lifting the pile of math sheets.
All of sheets were completed and on all of them was unfamiliar handwriting I relaxed my body with relief when a new voice from behind me spoke "Your not even going to say thank you? That took forever you know, you ungraceful human" I spun around to come face to face with the same boy I met early on in the night, I grabbed a pair of scissor and directly pointed them at him the boy was lending against the wall beside my wardrobe , he looked so calm. "Who are you and how in hell did you get into my room? the boy continued to stare at me with those bloodly scarlet eyes of his I dashed to the door to get help from my parents, with one click of his finger the door locked itself.
I tried to open it with the scissor but I failed. "Its no use Andre"said the mysterious boy finally moving and walking toward me 'How did he know my name?I know James called my name back on roof but the way boy said my name felt like we've met before' The boy flashed me a smile showing white teeth "I know a lot of things about you that you don't even know" he replied "You can read my mind!?" The boy nodded "My name is Dylan and believe it or not you are my younger brother Andre" the boy held out his hand for me to shake but I refused and turned my head away.
The name Dylan was familiar then I remembered. I narrowed my eyes at him "Your the person that attacked my father! Stay away from me!"I warned pointing my scissor at him , Dylan shook his head "Now now, you badly misunderstood, I was just kindly helping that old man when he tried to hit me with his briefcase" I still clutched the scissor as I approached him "So wounding him was the best solution?" I replied coldly.
The warmth in Dylan's eyes vanished to be replaced with coldness. Without warning, he speedily lashed the scissor out my hand and covered my mouth with his hand while dragging me to the window. I kicked furiously but he was too strong.
What is Dylan going to do with me?
Sorry if I made it super long. I'm trying to start the next chapter. Going on the camp for five days.
