Meeting in the palace
894 Words
Xander POV
My head is hurting and the sun light is making it more worse. I could feel the bright colors over my eyelids. I pull the blankets up over my head.
I want to sleep more
I turn to my side and put a pillow over my head, its then that I notice a girl laying by my side.
I have to get out before she is up
I slowly dress up without making any noise, and move out of the room. Taking slow steps on the stairs, I notice my surrounding.
The place is trashed. There are beer bottles everywhere. The keg is lying on the floor with someone under it. Few people have fallen asleep on the floor and few on the couches.
The game room looks most terrible as if there was a fight. I peek on the screen to look the score and pat myself on back since they weren’t able to beat me.
I am stunned by the fireplace since most of the woods have been taken outside as if someone tried to lit the fire in the hall to have a bonfire.
Sammy boy, you have got a lot in your hands
I am in no mood to work or help so I just leave his house grabbing my jacket or a jacket to my place.
I just hope that Kathy is not awake at this time.
I jog to my place as it’s not too far from Sam’s. It’s warm and strange since it mostly rain all the time. I like the change in weather.
Smiling to myself as I open the door, I see that two people have gathered around the dining table.
They look like they have been waiting for me.
I take slow cautions steps towards my room when one of them interrupts me.
“It’s the meeting time” Troy say and I wanna curse but I can’t.
Yes I can’t curse, even if I try, I just can’t, I feel that something is wrong with me.
Both Kathy and Troy seems to be up early and ready.
Troy is in same dress as always , a trench coat and a hat, while Kathy is wearing a gown covered in flowers. She seems to take an angelic version in front of Troy while I know that she is a true devil.
“I didn’t do anything. I don’t know what she said, but whatever it is I have not done it” I begin
“Oh Dear, who am I to accuse you?, I am a mere old lady, counting the days, when the God will finally call me to him” Kathy interrupts
“Don’t you mean Satan” I whisper just for her to hear.
“Lucky for you, you will get all your punishment here itself while living in my house” she whispers back now glaring at me.
“Do you think I don’t know what you do at night? The victims of the monsters screams at night asking for justice and you are only playing around” she continues.
I am taken aback by her comment, does she mean vampire’s victim?
“But whom are you punishing at night in the basement, old lady? I can hear screams too” I say back
“Troy dear, I want him out. A lady of my age needs peace and I think so do you. You need your privacy and I know you like it to be quite” she says to troy giving me an evil glance.
“Wow just wow. Hey old lady” I start again, this time it is not a whisper.
“How dare you call me old?” She yells back
“You yourself said it just a minute ago” I am stunned by her accusation.
“I never say I was old” she is now openly glaring at me.
“ENOUGH” Troy lets out a scream and that shuts us up.
“You know what, let’s cancel this meeting. There is nothing to discuss with you two” he says while pointing finger at us one at a time.
“You made him angry again” Kathy says in a whisper
“But you started it…” I want to continue when Troy looks at me and I go silent with just that look
“Clean your room for once, you are so darn lazy” Kathy continue and not to my surprise, Troy doesn’t say a word.
“Lazy is a strong word, I would just say selective participation” I reply back
Troy is about to leave for his room and that’s my cue of not getting beaten up by the crazy lady.
“I will be in my room if someone needs me. “ I say
“Remember the last time I needed you ? Yeah me neither” she says and walks towards her room with a swag.
I pull my hair, this old day will be the death of me one day.
I move towards my room, ready to sleep for the day as the night is when my work starts.
