《Caught (ON HOLD)》Chapter Five An Invitation
Advertisement
Everyday for the next three weeks, I wake up to an empty house, walk to Jacobs, and rifled with Bishop. She at one point updated me to a English saddle.
So here I am, Sebastian's been gone for three and a half weeks. I put on my usual out fit. My yellow shirt, black pants, and combat boots.
I run down the stairs, and see Sebastian asleep on the sofa. I smile, and laugh quietly. I slip out of the door, and take the quick route to Jacobs.
"Hello, today Cinnamon and Miss. Hope are jumping." Bishop says, greeting me at the door.
"Well then, alright." I reply. The phone begins ringing.
"In just five minutes." She says, and runs to answer the phone. "Yeah she....well I....she's on her way." She hangs up the phone, and looks at me.
"Mr. Mythe needs you." She says.
"I'm going, but stop it with that Miss and Mr thing." I reply before starting back home.
I am greeted at the door by Sebastian, who leads me inside.
"Oh and where the hell have you been?" Meghan snaps when she sees me. "I finials get to sleep in, and I am woken up be lover boy over here yelling 'Jennifer' while running up an down the stairs." She adds. "It's seven in the morning."
I look at Sebastian, hoping he can fill me in on her attitude.
"Meghan calm down. It over now." The words he speaks fill me in. She's here because she doesn't have parent to go back to.
"I know. Um Chase wasn't around. So." She smiles. "I'm going back to bed." She adds before walking down stairs.
"I'm sorry." I say, only to be cut off.

"It's not your fault." He replies "So stop being sorry." He adds. Then he points to the stairs.
"Um you can go up there, or um just... Do what you want." He says.
I plop down on the couch. My blue eyed friend/owner laughs.
"You are so easy yet hard to please." Then walks to the kitchen.
After almost an hour of talking to Sebastian, Bishop bursts through the sliding glass door.
"He's yours. Jacob...." She trails off and begins panting.
"What?"
"Cinnamon." She pants.
"Bishop, let's take this outside, okay?" I say, and lead her out.
"Cinniman, his owner put him...up for sale, Jacob...bought him...he's yours." She finishes.
"Wow! I didn't think Jacob liked me that much." I jokingly reply.
"We should go get celebratory tattoos!" She smiles. Weird idea, yet intriguing.
"I'll go ask Sebastian." I say, and slip back inside. "Can I um, take a train into Conilania?" I ask. He looks extremely taken back.
"Why on Earth do you want to do that?"
"Trust me?"
It didn't take much to convince him.
Once on the train, I curl up in a ball, in my usual spot.
"Jennifer are you afraid of trains?" She smirks.
I simply nod, as the train bargains moving.
It takes half an hour to reach the Conilania station. I follow Bishop out of the train, my eyes quickly darting to the 'debt section'.
Bishop got a small horse on her foot, and I end up with a series of five petaled flowers from my chest to the bottom of my next, maybe six in a half circle.
"Were are you going Jennifer?" Bishop asks as I turn down a different street.
"I need to cut my hair." I respond, and walk into the hair parlor.

"Take a seat, I'll be with you in a moment." Says, a lady taller than me-but everyone is taller than me-with a red page boy hair cut.
"Why must you get your hair cut?" Bishop demands sitting down next to me.
"I have to much." I reply simply.
It takes two hours to get back to Sebastian's. My hair is cut mid ear, and it is so curly.
"Wow!" Meghan says, greeting me at the door. "But Sebbie needs to speak with you," She adds. I run past her, and Sebastian hands me a note, his eyes watering.
My thought turn to Tyeer, and then I let one tear fall from my eye.
