The Prophecy

Chapter 1

    Belle is sitting in homeroom zoning out when she hears her teacher mention next week they will be going into the city for a college fair. Everyone started gossiping about what schools they wanted to apply for and who they were going to sit by on the bus. Belle looked over at her bestfriend Maddie and said "You better sit with me b***h!" To which Maddie laughed. They were just talking about the different schools they were going to apply for when the bell rang. They grabbed their stuff and were making their way to their lockers when a girl grabbed Belles' arm. Before she could even turn to look at her she got the weirdest feeling all over her body. She turned to see who grabbed her arm but no one was there, She looked all around and realized she was in the hallway alone. What the f**k is going on? Where the hell is everyone? Where is Maddie? She looked up at the clock in the hallway and it read 6:08. That doesn't make any sense. She pulled out her phone and it showed 31 missed calls and texts from her mom, Maddie, and her Dad. She immediately called her mom. In a panic her mom answers asking her a million questions at once.

  "Belle, Where are you?, What is going on?, Did something happen?, No one had heard from you for hours!?"

"Mom, I'm at school, I am fine. Can you come get me?" "I'll be right there! Meet me out-front." 

She walked out front of the school still so confused. Where the hell did my whole day go. Who grabbed my arm? What the hell happened to me?  While she was waiting outside the school for her mom, Belle looked at her text messages. All of them were from her mom, dad, and Maddie except for one. It was from an unknown number and all it said was "Now you know everything. Let me know what you decide." 

Is this some kind of sick joke. What happened to my whole day? Now I know everything.. uhh I don't even know what happened since this morning let alone anything new. 

Just then her phone rings and it was Maddie calling. "Maddie, What the hell happened? The last thing I remember is walking to our lockers together after homeroom and then boom I was back in the school alone and my phones going crazy and no one knew where I was." "Belle, that's exactly the problem we were walking to our lockers someone who I've never seen before bushed past me grabbed your arm and you were just gone. Poof. I looked all over and was totally freaking out. I went to the office to have someone call the police and everyone just laughed at me. The cops told me you were probably just skipping class and unless you were gone more then 24 hours they can't make a missing persons report. What the hell happened to you?!" "I remember someone grabbing my arm and that is it. This is so weird. My mom is going to lose her freaking mind. She's never going to let me go to that college fair now. I am trying to stay calm but what the f**k. Maddie where the hell did I go? What the f**k happened to me? My mom is going to think I ran off with some guy or something. I'm going to be in so much trouble and I didn't even do anything." "Belle, I told you mom what I saw and she didn't react how you would expect. I thought she'd go right to the cops and demand a missing persons or something you know her but she didn't. I mean don't get me wrong she looked like she was going to throw up and you could see the fear all over her face but it was almost like she knew this might happen you know what I mean.. fuck.... I mean even I don't know if I know what I mean." "Maddie, you think my mom knows what happened?! My mom.. who never lets me out past dark knows why or how I just vanished into thin air?" We both kind of laughed and then I saw her car pull up. "My mom is here now I gotta go I'll call you later" 

    Belle walks over to the car thinking about what Maddie said about her mom. They make eye contact and it looks almost as if instead of being happy to see me she's stressed. Why isn't she happy to see I'm okay? Why does she look so worried? I open the car door and I sit down, just waiting for my mom to blow. I knew I was going to be in deep s**t for this and I didn't even actually do anything. I don't know what happened to my whole day. I wish I did. God, What the hell is going on? 

    To my surprise the whole car ride home was silent. My mom didn't say one word to me. A new wave of fear washed over me as I have never seen my mom so upset she didn't have words. I was never going to be allowed out of the house again. We are about to turn onto our driveway when my mom stops and looks at me. "We need to have an important conversation when we get inside go to the living room and wait for me and your father."

"Okay" was all I could manage to say. I got out of the car and went into my house, sat down in the living room and waited.
