Fur on my heart by Madison M. (classic children's novels TXT) 📕

was the matter. I said, "They they have him! Please sir help me open the door please." Tears were falling from my eyes down to my shirt. He called the owners of the neighborhood and they unlocked the door. I ran in and there, the mom and dad were dragging him up the attic. I ran towards the mom and pushed her off the ladder that they were climbing on. She fell of and hit her head hard. The dad was already up the attic. I could hear the police and people yelling for me to get down. I turned and faced the entrance of the attic and saw many kids laying on the floor begging for food and water. Some couldnt talk because they had duck tape around their mouth. The next thing I knew were the police grabbing me and cradleed me up with a blanket. Then, they shot the dad and quickly grabbed Valon. "Where's Calon?! I need Calon!" I demanded. The police brought him to me and I asked if he was ok. His eyes were closed and he didn't answer. The police asked me if he had parents and I said not anymore. You shot his new ones and his old parents don't want anything to do with him. I saw the other police holding about 15 kids who were quivering. The ambulance came and picked every kid up including Calon. The news came too. They walked up to me and asked many questions. After half an hour, they were talking to others. By the next week, Calon was back with his actual parents and they were very happy to have him back. Beath came over and kept asking me what did you feel like. And is Calon ok. We heared a knock at the door and I answered. It was Calon's mom. She said that Calon was ok, but he has a concussion. She gave me another picture of my brother and said, "I think that you should have this. At least Calon did. I hope that you were ok during all of that." Ash ran up to her and tugged on her scarf. "It's ok." Ash stop." I said. Ash stopped and sat down. She looked like she was uncomfortable she she said she got up and said she had to go. She left and Beath had to leave too. The next day, Calon knocked on my door. I answered and he came in. I asked if he was ok and he said yes. He said, " If it weren't for you, I would have been in the attic, starving...or wors. Thank you for not giving up on me. For not letting me die." I said your welcome and we sat down on the couch, discussing the pictured with my brother in it. " My mom said that no one else noticed him when he was drowning." Calon said.  I said, " But what if someone did, what if... he didn't drown? We have to look for him. Go on your phone look him up and ask what beach did he die at. My parents said that he doesn't have a grave." 

 

Chapter 9

 It was time to go to the party. I was in a dark blue dress with my dark blue heels. Once I got to the part, I knocked on the door. Calon and Beath answered. They looked very exited and pulled me inside. It looked very big with so many stairs. I looked around and saw maids cleaning. "Wow!" I cried.  "I have never seen a house like this before." Calon looked upset and said, "It is from my mom. She said that big houses are the best. I just don't want to be treated like a king even if it's on my birthday." Not talking about the subject, Beath said, "Let's swim!" I looked outside and saw a one mile seimming pool in the backyard. "Wow"! I yelled. He didn't look very proud of having a big house. I asked what was the matter and he said, "I never wanted to be the center of attention. My mom invited people I don't even know. She looks best to be the center of attention so I guess she wants me to be like her." I saw that Beath had already put her bathing suit on. "I will go change." I said. I went to the bathroom to change and even the mirrors had golden chains around them. I walked out and Beath and Calon were very surprised. They said I looked great. Calon already got his bathing suit on also so we jumped in the pool. We kept on splashing water at each other until we saw the lifeguard. I whispered to Calon and Beath "A life guard! Who has a lifeguard at their house!?" Calon looked at me and smiled. Beath jumped on Calon and I laughed. The lifeguard blew his whistle and yelled at us. "Sorry." We said. We got out of the pool and dried off. I washed my hair. Beath washed her hair too. Calon just wet his hair.m, not caring for it. A few hours later, Beath had to go. Calon and I went to the kitchen to see what his mom was making. It looked like pizza and soup. We sat at the table and ate. When we finished, Calon said, " Emily, do you want to see something?" I said "See what?" He lead me to his room and I followed. He pulled out something from under his bed. It was a picture of a boy that looked like my brother. "It has been here for a while and my parents won't answer my questions about him." He said. I examined the picture closely. "It looked like my brother...the same eyes, the same hair. That's my mom and my dad right in the corner of the picture." For sure that's my brother." I exclaimed. We starred at each other. He grabbed his phone and called Beath saying to come over. In an hour, she was here and we told her the whole story. "Who took the picture?" She asked . "It has to be someone who is a very good friend of mine." We looked at Calon and we ran to his mom. We asked if she went to the beach lately and she said yes. We showed her the picture and she looked away. "I don't want anything to do with that!" We begged her to say something. She said that she was there that day and nothing else. My mother picked me up from Calon's house and we went home. It was dark so I went to bed.

Chapter 10

 The next month, Calon knocked on my door. I opened it and he was holding a gift. I invited him inside and he handed it to me. I opened it and inside was a necklace. It had a beautiful blue crystal and on the chain it had a heart on it. He put it on me and I hugged him. Surprised, he slowly hugged me back. "I am so glad your ok. I missed you." I pushed him to the ground and said madly but happily, "You scared me! Never ever scare me like that again!" He pulled himself up and smiled. "I won't. At least I won't try to." I ran to my room to get him a gift. He opened it and it was seven Disney tickets. He got very exited and he asked, "How? You you shouldn't have! Your wasting money." I smiled and said, "No. I just made your day." I wasn't mad that I wasted tons of money. I was very happy for him. He deserved it. Ash ran up to him and licked his leg. "Hey little bubbly! I missed you too." Calon said. Ash jumped on him and licked him some more. "So... What's goi. ng on with your parents?" I asked. " Nothing really. They always say for me to stay in bed. They worry about the things that could happen to me now that What happened." His phone rang and he answered. "Yes mom I'm ok. I will be fine. Don't worry. I love you too." Calon said. "Sorry I have to go." We hugged bye and he walked out. I sat down admiring my new necklace. I look up and saw Ash holding a picture of my brother, dead. I stared at it wandering, who would of seen him and not save him. Ash jumped in n the door and opened it. I saw the trees moving back and fourth like they were saying, "Go on. Find out what happened to your brother. See if he is still alive." I said to my mom and dad that I was gone by out to see my brother's grave. They were ok with it and said for me to be back soon. I walked outside with Ash. Once we reached the nearest graveyard, I looked everywhere for his name but I couldn't find it. I walked about five miles longer, I found the next graveyard. I looked everywhere and the last grave said, "Here lies Tobby. 2009-2017 R.I.P." I stared at it. Ash ran up to it and howled. I sat next to him and pet him. About a half an hour later, we left. When we came back home, my parent were cooking dinner. "It's getting late. Why don't you take a shower?" I ran upstairs and took a shower. When I got out, Ash was there waiting for me by the door. We ran downstairs to eat. We ate crawfish. My parents asked, "Did you find his grave?" I said, "Yes ma'am and yes sir. It took me a while to find the grave but I did. I picked some flowers to put on the grave." When I was done eating, I put my plate in the pile of dirty dishes and I went to my room. I layers in bed looking at all the pictures I had of Tobby, my brother. Most of the color faded, but it still look detailed. Soon enough, I fell asleep. I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on the door. My mom answered and said, "Hello Beath. Please do come in. Would you like anything to eat?" Beath sat down and said, "No thank you. My father says that he will make me breakfast right around seven. Is Emily awake?" My mom said, "Proboaly not.
