Chapter 2: Dean I slammed the door to my room shut, breathing a sigh of relief. I sat down on my bed, grabbing an old book off my dresser. I flipped through it carefully, trying not to rip the pages. I eventually found what I was looking for. I read a few paragraphs before shutting it gently and setting it on my bed. Just what I thought. My phone rang. I picked it up slowly. Mira was calling. I slammed my phone back down on the end table, hard. I stood up, my hands shaking, and made my way to the door. I opened it and stared down the long hallway leading from my room to the stairs. I took a cautious step forward, then another. Until I was right at the edge of the first stair. As soon as I moved my foot towards the second, a force shoved me forward and I tumbled down the stairs. I landed at the bottom, groaning. Laughter came from the stop of the staircase. I looked up. My older brother, Jayson was laughing so hard he was bending over. He eventually stopped and looked at me, tears in his eyes. "I got you so good!"He gasped. "Yeah, yeah."I stood up, brushing myself off. "I'm fine, by the way." "I didn't ask."He finally caught his breath. "Nice fall, little brother. You landed right on your face." I rolled my eyes as he burst out laughing again. "Whatever."I grumbled. "Aw don't be upset, little brother."Jayson walked slowly down the stairs. "You should be a better sport." "Right."I muttered. "Anyways, Dean."First time he called me by my real name in a while. "I'm going out with Ma. Make sure not to turn into a gorilla while i'm gone." I glared as he opened the front door and stepped out, closing it behind him. As soon as I heard the lock turn I ran towards the kitchen. Gorilla my ass. I opened the back door and burst into the land behind our house. I breathed in fresh air. Good, I needed it. I started towards the narrow pathway in the woods behind our house. It was nighttime, a perfect time to be out here. One day, one day soon, they'll all know who they were messing with.
