Cassandra's POV
I'm walking down the halls of Britwood High School with my best friend Summer as I open the door to the parking lot. The cool January air hits my face making a shiver run down my back. The ground is covered with a blanket of snow making it look like a winter wonderland.
"Are you listening to me?" Summer's voice breaks my thoughts.
"W-What? Oh, um..." I stuttered out.
"I asked what you're doing later, I thought maybe we could hang out."
"I told you earlier, my parents are leaving for Australia tonight and the sitter is coming so I can't have friends over." I said.
"Oh yeah... But I can come over later this week right?" She asked opening the door to her car.
"Well my parents said no friends over this week because I'm in trouble..." I said looking down at the ground.
"What'd you get into trouble for?"
"For not picking up Ben from school... He was left standing outside of the school when it was below freezing..." I said looking down ashamed.
Summer started laughing and clapping her hands.
"You forgot your own brother when it was below freezing?!"
"Yeah..."
"Is that why you have to have a sitter?" She asked finally able to control her laughing.
"Yeah, they said if I couldn't even remember to pick up my own brother from school then there was no way they were leaving him with me for a week."
"Well I wouldn't either." Summer said getting in her car.
"Bye! See ya later." She shouted before closing her car door.
I yelled a 'bye' back then got in my piece of junk (my truck) and pulled out of the school parking lot.
* * *
I got out of my truck and headed for the front door.
"I'm home!" I yelled from the door kicking off my shoes and taking off my coat.
"I'm in here!" I heard my mothers voice call from the kitchen.
I walked into the kitchen where I saw my mother fixing some kind of soup.
"I'm making you, Ben and the sitter potato soup." She said stirring the so called 'soup'.
My mother never was a very good cook but then again, neither am I.
"Speaking of the sitter when will she be here?" I asked stepping towards the gross looking chunky liquid.
"In about thirty minutes." I looked up at the clock above the sink to see it was 5:30pm.
"Well I better be getting my suitcase in the car." My mother said and headed up stairs.
I decided just to watch some TV.
* * *
"Now make sure to use your manners and do whatever she says and be NICE." My mother said.
I just rolled my eyes, I already knew to do that. I don't know why she had to tell us.
"Okay, I love you." She said giving my little brother Ben a huge hug then giving me one.
I didn't really hug back, I was still mad at her for not trusting me with Ben. Yes, I know I forgot him but I didn't mean to, she just doesn't believe me.
"I love you guys, the sitter should be here in a few minutes. You think you can handle Ben?" My mother asked looking straight at me.
"Yes mom, I'm pretty sure I can handle him for a few minutes." I said annoyed.
"We love you and we'll see you two in a week." My dad said trying to get my mother to leave before they missed their plane.
"Bye, love you-" My mother says as my dad shuts the front door.
I turned around to look at Ben and say,
"What you wanna do brat?"
"I'm hungry, poophead." Ben has called me that for years, he says it's because my hair is 'poop' color.
"There's soup on the stove" I said going to the kitchen.
"Did mom fix it?" He sounded kinda worried because he knew mom couldn't cook.
"Yeah she did." I said smiling as I opened the door to the fridge getting out some left over pizza and putting it on a plate.
"Please." Ben said looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.
"Please what?" I spat looking down at the blonde haired boy.
"Share, I don't want to eat moms chunky soup." He said looking at the two slices of pizza on the paper plate.
"No way." I said walking to the living room.
"Please Cassie."
He said grabbing on to my arm. I look down at him only to see tears in his blues eyes. Great, I made him cry.
"fine." I gave him a slice.
"Yes!" He took the piece and ran and jumped on the couch. 'That little rat' I thought.
We watched TV for a couple of hours, it's now eight o'clock. I'm really wondering if that sitter is even coming. Maybe she got lost or something. It is dark outside and sometimes it can be hard to see the road signs. Just then the TV shut off along with the lights leaving us sitting in the dark.
"Cass what's going on?" Ben said hugging onto my side.
"I don't know-" A knock on the door made me and Ben both jump back.
"Don't move." I said slowly, the knock got louder.
"Maybe it's the sitter." Ben said still holding onto me for dear life.
He hates the dark, he'll do anything to not be in the dark.
"Maybe" I said.
"Maybe they can turn the lights back on." He said and ran towards the door.
"NO BEN!" I yelled running after him.
It was to late though, he already had the door unlocked and opened.
"Hello." A deep raspy voice said.
I grabbed Ben and put him behind me. The only thing I could really see about the man standing in front of me was that he was tall and had a cigarette between his lips. I squinted trying to see more of him, he put his hand in one of his pockets pulling out an object. I didn't know what it was till he moved his finger down on it making a small flame ignite out of the silver hole.
I could now see his face, he had brown curly hair that was swiped over to one side an eyebrow ring and a lip ring. He had tattoos running up his neck but that's not what caught my attention the most, it was his piercing green eyes. They are so beautiful and captivating.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer babe." His deep voice broke me out of my thoughts.
He walked past me and into the house looking around like he was trying to find something even though you could barley see anything because the lights were out.
"What are you doing?" I spoke for the first time since he showed up.
"Looking for the basement." I stopped in my tracks, why would he want to know where the basement was.
"W-Why?" I stuttered scared of the answer.
"To tie you up and put you down there."
