Renibelle on the side . .
Next thing I know, the police are surrounding the alley. Flooding it with red and blue lights.
An officer bandaged my arm up as I sat on the back of an ambulance car. Two officers managed to limp the robber, in hancuffs to a police car. He glared at me before he got in the car, and while the officier continued her interrogation, I couldn't help but notice something.
His eyes had changed from the bright green they were to a natural dark brown.
How the hell did that happen?
Suddenly, my mom's blue car pulled up, obnoxiously to the crime scene. The police approached her but she was so distraught, she didn't even hear them.
"Mom?" I croaked. She grabbed my face, and kissed me on top of the forehead.
"I'm here now, baby." She soothed. "Im here now?"
I felt like I have seen her in years. Her eyes were bloodshot red. Had she been crying before she got here? Maybe so.
I went straight to by bedroom as soon as we got home. I didn't even care about dinner. Not like anyone cared if I was fed or not. All there was were leftovers from three nights ago. I wasn't having it.
The repitition of the same thought caused my toes to curl, under my purple fuzzy blanket. "There coming for you... just wait."
"Ren?" My mom's soft voice called from the other side of my door. I opened it, and flung my self back on to my bed.
She sat next to me, with a big cup of steaming hot chocolate. I took it, only because it had been the only good thing in the house.
"That man's going to jail for a long time, he's not going to hurt you anymore."
I continued to look out the window, flooded with raindrops from the ongoing rain storm. It seemed as if everything had disappeared, and we lived at the dead end of the world.
"Renibelle, What's wrong with you?" She asked me as her spanish accent showed. I gripped the comforter I had around me.
The cold wind created chills down my arm, and through my body. I looked with the corner of my eye at my dad's photo that sat right on my dresser by my bed. My mother sighed and rubbed my cover. I'd got under her skin which I hadn't intended to do orginally.
"I miss him too, honey."
"Bullshit!" I shrieked, I stood up to my feet .
"Renibelle.. "
"If you really missed him you wouldnt have stopped the police from looking for him! So don't come with me with that crap mom! "
"Hey! You better watch your fucking mouth before I … " She stopped herself. I pulled my head back, not believing what she was about to say. I actually felt myself pouting. She had a look of shock on her face too.
Before I could even say anything , Ron busted into my room. I didnt plan on staying anyway.
"What the hell is going on in here ?" He asked. I looked at both of them and shortly ran out of the room, not listening to them call out behind me.
I rushed to the nearest bathroom and raised the window. The wind vioiently pushing up against my body. It wasnt raining as much anymore, just the wind. Although it was actually comfortable.
I carefully pushed myself so that I sat on the roof of the house. When I was little, my mom used to sit out here for hours maybe days. I realized it was a way of relieving stress, and eventually I tried and got used to it.
"Renibelle?! What are you doing out here?! " a voice said behind me, as I cursed lowly to myself for not locking the door behind me. "Will you please get down from there, its too dangerous."
"Go away. " I whined.
"Look Ren, im sorry about what I said back there, you know I would never get that angry at you. "
I didn't say anything . It was like I was a little kid again. Not obeying my mother's rules. She leaned her head on the window sill and breathed heavily. Her frizzy hair flying in the air along with it.
"You want to know why I stopped looking for your father .. its because I didnt know what else to do okay .. " at last she said. "I couldn't spend another day crying, figuring out that he wouldn't come back . I just couldnt. So that's why I stopped looking, I had to move on. We have to move on. He would have wanted that Ren."
My lips folded together, and I closed my eyes, letting tears fall down my face. She was right. It was only for the best. I turned around and let myself through the window, back into the bathroom again. I faced my mom for awhile, then I laid my head on her shoulder and it felt like it had been ages being this close to her. We were so busy letting other things get in the way, I didnt realize how much mother's touch really felt like.
That night, I had a bad dream about waking up, and I saw an animal. A wolf. It was talking to me. It was warning me, taunting me with the same words the robber had said to me before. However, the next morning I couldnt remember much of it. I woke up to a clash of lightining and raindrops on my window. The day was destined to be cold, wet, and ugly. It was very depressing. But then, I thought back to the night before and groaned and got dressed for school.
"Breaking news this morning, a suspected man who was taken in to custody last night at the local police department has made an escape after murdering many of the officers in the building, only one person surrived and immediately called for help." The news reporter on our TV spoke in our living room. I rustled down the stairs, turning off the television and headed out the door.
My parents had already left the house, leaving me no choice but to take the bus to school. If only I'd had a car it would only make my life easier. Many of the kids at my school already had cars, and I knew the ones who did. I was officially the only sixteen year old without one. Except for Johanna I thought , her parents will never invest in a car for her. Sophmore year into junior year we both failed our drivers tests and didnt get our permits, but I have put in countless amount of hours of studying all the origins of driving so I could finally pass this year.
Something rustled in the woods. I looked back and of course nothing was there. I thought to myself and figured it was a squirrel or possum or something. I reminded myself that I wasnt in those movies where something would come out from behind and grab me from behind. Stop being paranoid I reminded myself .
A branch snapped next to me as a giant black bird landed on it. It perched on the branch and stood motionles like a statue. I shifted uncomfortably then watched it turn it's head towards me. I stared into its green orbs, like colored glass. Finally, the bus arrived and turned the corner. My hair was drenched and frizzy for the drizzle of the rain. I stepped on and proceeded towards to the back off the bus, this ride would be the only joy I get out of the day.
The clock seemed to go faster today. I just which it was like that for every school day. By the time lunch came around it already started raining. I raced down the stairs toward the cafeteria, brushing past the crowd of teenagers. But before I could even turn the corner, Ryder stood in front of me. This was going to be lovely.
"Hey." He said, he stood there awkwardly, running his hands through his soft curls and gazing around. "Um, I just wanted to apologize for the way I acted towards you yesterday.' He spoke. "I' promise you i'm not one ounce of the jerk I was."
"I accept your apology. I admit I was a little out of line too." I said.
"Please, I've seriously been thinking about it a lot and I-I want to make it up to you, somehow. " He stammered.
Never would I have thought that my face would begin to turn red for Ryder. He's cute when he's nervous.
"I'll consider that." I smiled, and he grinned and trotted off to his crew. But before he got to far he turned back around to face me.
"You know, your very different from the other girls, your very special." He said, and with that he left, leaving with one last wink towards me.
For a moment, I just stood there, staring like a moron. Then I shook my head and made my way into the cafeteria. I got my lunch and sat with Johanna for the entire period.
The clash of lighting strikes countinously interrupted the teacher as he stood up front trying yo teach us things we didnt need in life. The windows which were a crack open caused the shades to fly in and out, and the rain seemed to make it's way into the window sill. Eventually we had to ask someone to close the window because of it's disruptance.
"Excuse me, may I use the bathroom?" I asked my teacher.
"Sure, dont forget to bring the pass." My teacher reminded me.
I walked out the classroom and aimlessly walked through the hallways until I got to the bathroom. The door slowly creaked closed, then suddenly the lights cut off. My head shot up and I looked around. The power must have went out because of the storm, and I just so happened to ask to go to the bathroom before the lights cut off. I reached for the door but it was locked. Damnit I muttered to myself. What was this some kind of joke? Jokes on Renibelle today.
"Hello?! Who ever is out there this isnt funny anymore!" I shouted, no one responded. I pressed my ear against the door to hear for any footsteps, but I didn't.
Suddenly, smoke began to fill the bathroom. I waved my hand back and forth, coughing like crazy from the foul odor it had.
I coughed loudly, "What is this?"
"Your father awaits for your rescue, Renibelle." A voice said in my head. "Come to us child."
My head began to feel dizzy, I couldnt even stand straight. The smoke had been taking over me.Everything began to spin around and I heard voices in my head trying to talk to me, I'd been gaining a bad headache. Next thing I know I'm on the ground and that's when everything went black and the voices began to fade out of my head.
