The Last Descendant by Alexis Heddens (find a book to read .TXT) 📕

Her mouth watered as she took a seat. "Mmm! Smells nice mom." She grinned.
Her mom, Nora, smiled as she hummed along in tune with the radio. "Thank you baby. You had a friend call you earlier." Her mother beamed.
Becca looked confused. "Are you sure they were asking for me?"
Nora nodded with a smile. "Of course. There was a phone number. I wrote it down for you so you can call her back. It's by the phone."
Becca's heart beat with excitement. Was it Vivian who called her? Did she want them to hang out? Oh, how she longed to have a friend and just be a regular teenager for once! "Did they give you a name?"
Nora shook her head. "No dear. Nothing, but they insisted on seeing you though. I'm so happy for you baby! Finally, your fitting in."
Becca nodded with a smile, a little dazed. She got up and went over to the phone. Just like her mom had said, there was a piece of paper with a phone number. Grinning like an idiot, she dialed the number and put it to her ear. They picked up on the first ring. "Hello?" Becca called.
No answer.
"Vivian?"
"I'm watching you." A voice whispered.
The hairs on the back of her neck stood up on ends. "Who is this?"
The voice cackled. "Waiting in the dark...Time is running short-"
She slammed the phone down into the receiver. Frustrated, she went back into the kitchen. Becca couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. I don't know what kind of sicko is stalking me but I will call the police next time. I can't put mom in danger, nor myself.

Nora smiled. "Who was honey? One of your friends?"
"Sure." Becca nodded and shrugged, pretending it was really one of her friends.
Nora went back to her cooking, silently dismissing Becca. Getting up, Becca left her mom to her thoughts. Heading up the stairs to her room. She jumped onto her bed and fell asleep, the soft wind lulling her to sleep.

I sat on the couch in horror as we watched The Sound Of Music. I always hated this movie. Too much music for my tasted. Dimitri watched in silence, never saying anything. Sighing, I waited til Zac fell asleep before turning to Dimitri. He arched a brow but remained silent. Not able to take it anymore, I tried to make small talk.
"Okay, so...Where are you from?" I asked, hugging my knees to my chest.
He regarded me through silver-gray eyes. "Somewhere."
I frowned. "Yeah, but where would that be?"
"From a place you might go someday."
Okay, now this was just weird. "Fine, don't tell me." I fiddled with my hair, watching as the children danced in the field. Wow...They really have no lives.

When I looked back at him, he was studying me. I felt a blush work its way up to my cheeks. "Like what you see?" I smiled shyly, embarrassed. I don't do well with guys staring at me.
Dimitri shrugged. "Maybe. I've seen the movie so many times, it's not funny."
"Oh, then..."I bit my bottom lip, not knowing what to do. "Well..."
"This isn't awkward." Dimitri grinned. "Zac's asleep, let's change the movie."
I nodded and got up to change it. Zac snored and rolled from where he slept on the floor. "Don't you dare..." He yawned and sucked his thumb.
Hands up, I froze. When I was sure he was sleeping, I reached for the camera. Then I shot a picture of him sucking his thumb. Now I had something to black-mail him. Now, he couldn't make fun of me. I threw my fist in the air and gave out a silent whoop. Sitting back down, I still grinned as I turned back o Dimitri.
