Please read, vote, and comment! This is the third chapter of 'The Third Child'. All comments are appreciated!
John asked me how much I know about my "situation". I don't know what that word means, so I ask, and he says, "Don't you have vocabulary words in school?" And then I get confused because I'm too young to be in school, so how would I have special words? I make sure to pass it off like I'm just normal, because Mary said that if anyone ever asked me who I was. I should say, I'm just Polly, and I'm not allowed to talk to strangers. So what do I say to John? He's not really a stranger, since he's Mary's brother... I'll have to ask Mary how all this works when I go back down to the basement tomorrow.
******************************************************************
A 'bee' flew into the car while John was driving me back to the basement, and he started screaming. It landing on my knee, and it was like we were having our own conversation. His voice was squeaky and small, and he said, "Why's he so scared? I'm the little one... He could end me with just one flick!" and I replied, "Because you could make him hurt really bad. When you die it hurts for 3 seconds, then there's nothing. When you get stung by a bee, you could have a scar forever."
John asks who I'm talking to, and I say I'm talking to Mr. bee. Then John joined the conversation and said, "Mr. Bee, could you please leave?" And away he flew. Only a few words exchanged, and John got rid of my best friend.
This is how I began to hate John, Mary's brother.
******************************************************************
"The worst thing to assume is that everyone is on your side. Because no matter what you do, or say, someone will always disagree; someone will always want to be your enemy."Mary used to say this to me before all the times that someone came for an interview so someone wouldn't try to talk to me. "You never talk to strangers because they want to make you lie like Mr. Phil".
"Ok, Mary, but how am I supposed to not reply when I ask questions?"
"You stay as far away from those cameras as you can. If anyone ever asks you anything, just tell them you've got to go, and come find me, ok? I'll always be back here waiting for you, no matter where you go. I'll always be your friend."
Yeah, I guess. Since John killed my only other friend, Mr. Bee from the car.
