A Bedazzle in the Mist.
Chapter 1
Yay, again my teacher kicks me out of class. All I was doing was writing in the back of my book… but the thing that I was writing got a bit out of hand.
I don't like school and I would say that I am not very good at it either. I stayed up late the night before hanging out with my brothers. I’m the only girl in the family because my mum died when I was very young.
We had three dogs Muffy, Cookie and Tinsel. They are all from the pound. I guess I can say that all of the dogs are girls so, I am the only human girl in the family.
My dad was always out with his new girlfriend Lizzie and my brothers were always in detention so I had the house to myself.
Kind of like Matilda but not. The house that I live in is apparently haunted because the lady who lived here before us was attacked by her dog and found dead under the floorboards, blinking but not breathing.
I keep rethinking how this would work out because her dog was a small pup and it was blind? Anyway everyone runs away from me at school because that is one of my dogs.
It’s Tinsel. But she is lovely and it doesn't even seem like she is a dog. Tinsel usually sleeps with me but I always wake up with bites and bruises. But she can’t be giving me the bites and bruises because as I said before she is so lovely.
You know how Tinsel is blind she looks like she can see everything because she walks with her head held high. Tinsel always beats Muffy and Cookie up and Muffy and Cookie get the same bites and bruises as me.
I told my brothers this and they told my dad and now Tinsel is at the pound again. I want her back but my dad said no. I got a doctors check for the bites and bruises and I actually had a broken wrist, and the type of break that can only be broken if it gets twisted. Dads girlfriend lizzie is getting really scared of the house and me. She thinks that we are haunted.
Lizzie has always hated me and she's the one that puts Tinsel in my bed. But let's go to the good news. We’re getting another dog and I’m choosing her because it's going to be mine. So I made a plan to get Tinsel back! But Muffy and Cookie would hate me so I need to do some more thinking.
But there is more bad news my mother is back in town with her other half of the dogs. um I thought she was dead?! Like 6 years ago she died in front of me! I shivered and went to sleep, after 12:00 pm.
Now I can meet up with her and give the dogs some surprises! The dogs that my mum own are Majestia, Piper and Ivy. And now I have to tell mum that Tinsel is gone but tomorrow is the day that I get to pick out a new dog so I could get back Tinsel, and no one would know that Tinsel was gone….. 3 hours later… I was texting mum because I could not get to sleep.
Chapter 2
I did not know what to do with Tinsel. Should I get another dog or get back my favorite dog in the world? If I got Tinsel, dad would kick me out of the house ! But I love Tinsel !
I don’t want to live on the streets so I will get a new dog. Yay! today is the day that I get a new dog. BUT my dad said that I could pick something else even a new toy so I picked a toy it was called “hide and seek hannah”.
I played with her and my brothers all night. 5 hours later…… I woke up hearing something in the basement.
It sounded like crying I went down there and it was “hide and seek hannah” It had bright red eyes then she started counting, the instructions said that if hide and seek hannah started counting you had to hide or you would get punished, but I forgot and she counted to twenty and she saw me staring at her and she opened her mouth, her teeth looked as sharp as daggers.
Why did this have to happen to me ? Why didn’t I just get Tinsel. Then the lights went out and icy fingers gripped me in the darkness so I screamed and it felt like claws ripping up my mouth, then Lizzie came in and ripped hide and seek hannah off of me and carried me to my brothers room and said “we will not speak of this to your dad” I nodded and she left into the hallway.
I cried myself to sleep and got Tinsel back the next day because Lizzie lied to dad just for me. Tinsel was back and that was the happiest day of my life. My father is getting so angry at me leaving Muffy and Cookie out and playing with Tinsel 14 hours later.
Today is the day that I get to meet up with mum again and see Piper, Majestia and Ivy for my first time. I am hoping they are french bulldog. Anyway mum looks so different from when I saw her last. It was good to see her again but I had an urge to tell her about that alarming experience!
I cried halfway through telling her. When I came home there was no one home and all of the windows were smashed and the door was dismounted. So I ran to mums flat but halfway there I felt something jumped on me so I turned around and saw a devastating sight.
Hide and seek hannah was on me ! I started to cry horridly and then my mother drove past to get groceries and saw hide and seek hannah on my back.
She was in the car with Lizzie and she was dropping off Lizzie but I don’t know why, because if life made sense they would of been enemies.
Chapter 3
Well everything was like a broken universe in my head. Lizzie pulled the horrid creature off of my back and my mum just started laughing in the car…”so much for a nice mum”, now I know why dad left her!
I need to stop dreaming because i think this is just a dream? I can’t deal with this. That Hannah thing is bad news, I should have just not have got Tinsel and not have got hide and seek hannah and gotten a new DOG not a toy!!! But it is just a dream so it’s fine hehehehe…..
I went to bed, I heard a noise, it came closer, closer it was like a bang on the door. Then I heard a gunshot fire and screaming and then that’s when I realised it was not a dream it was real!
I heard my the front door slam and I saw red eye’s through the window I closed mine and the black shadow figure left. Then I heard a car boot close and it was so loud that i had to run out of my room. I went to my brothers room and bit my finger.
I saw my dad in the lounge with Lizzie. He was kneeling down and Lizzie was so happy she was nearly jumping out of her socks!
And that was when i knew. Dad had proposed to Lizzie. I felt so happy inside. I was going to have a new Stepmum! I was also sad how was my mum going to feel she has no one and i am going to have a Stepmum .
These thoughts were wiggling around in my head and making me go crazy. My brothers had gone to Australia for the army. Well now me, Dad and Lizzie were in Korea.
Sadly one of my brothers was fighting in battle and passed away. 3 years later.
I turned 18 today. Dad and Lizzie got married 4 weeks ago, it was the best night ever. There was dancing and it was the full moon and it was so amazing. For my birthday i got a brand new built flat to live in with my best friends at school. So i packed up and went to my flat. There was a huge surprise party with my brothers there. They came all the way from Australia to see me!
Omg omg omg.
I hugged every single one of them. So 7 to be exact. My life had gone uphill since the car boot closed. Me Dad and Lizzie went out on a walk in the morning. We were going to the airport. We had our bags ready and we started to walk. We decided to go on a walk because if we took the car where would it go after all of us went to the airport. Anyway it was only a 15 minute walk.
Well we got there but we were late! It's a good thing that the flight was delayed for 40 minutes. Well the plane took off and the loud propellers whirled around in the wind making the plane move. It was a 9 hour flight to France.
Yeah we were going on a holiday! I fell asleep on the plane and when i woke up there was no one there. I found a note under the seat. It read out. My darling daughter. Me and lizzie are in the hotel room. You just looked so peaceful sleeping. I love you. Hope you find your way here. Xoxo. dad.
Chapter 4
Oh no what do I do. Just as i thought that in my head i woke up for real. Wow oh Dad and Lizzie were there omg so all of that letter was all a dream.
The hotel room was so modern and beautiful. So different to what we have in Korea. The first thing i did was text my best friend. I went into my room. Stood in the doorway and stared at the bed… ugh I LOVE IT. I ran onto the bed and then texted my friend again and fell asleep 5 minutes after.
I woke up from the sound of birds and I could feel and see the the wind. I got up out of bed and went into the kitchen, I got out a bowl from the cupboard and then poured some cereal into it. I stood still and felt my chest for my necklace that my Mum gave me two days before Dad and her got divorced.
But, my necklace wasn’t there. I got a cold shiver up my spine moving to my neck. I hate it when this happens it probably got stuck in my bed when I was sleeping. I went to check. There was nothing there all though there was something shiny in my drawer. Why the heck is my necklace in there? Maybe Lizzie put it there when it fell off last night, (if it ever did fall off). This is really weird but I went to talk to Lizzie to ask her if she put my necklace in my draw. “Hey Mum did you put my necklace in my drawer last night?” I blurted out. “Ummm no why?”
“Because last night I wasn't on my neck so in the morning I found it in my drawer.”
“Oh it must've been your father go ask him, he’s in the garden.”
“Ok thanks Mum!”
I went to talk to dad.
I slipped…
I woke up in hospital. My leg was in a cast. My tooth hurt, a lot.
The doctor (I think) came in.
He whispered in my ear “if I were you I’d top myself.”
He walked away.
Grinning.
Winking.
Moving his finger across his throat.
Damn him, he doesn't know what I’ve been through.
Next week I was out of hospital. My real Mum texted me.
“So I've been thinking… We need to talk.
I’ve had another child.
Her name is Jemma.
She has cerebral palsy.
She has gone up for adoption because I did not have the strength to keep her.
You’ll understand when she is wheeled to your doorstep.
I tricked your Dad into signing the adoption papers.
Love you still.
Xx
-Mum”
My heart was broken after I read it. I couldn't bare to think that my Mum would just give up a child like that.
More than a child she is my sister!
Anyway, me and Lizzie went to the movies to have some “woman bonding time”.
We went to watch “Tag”. It was really funny and I really think we bonded.
A few days later we went home and luckily again the flight got delayed because we were late! The flight was long and boring and this time we didn’t get any cookies and tea but Lizzie made a complaint. (a bit over the top).
Anyway when we got home safe and sound.
(This was a VERY long time ago, don't judge me)
