Chapter One: The Night Before the Day After

BANG!

Chloe Prime poked her head out above her blankets and eyed her wardrobe suspiciously. Had it just made a noise? She watched and waited for a few minutes. Nothing. Perhaps it had all just been in her imagination. A flight of fancy? She nestled back under her covers.

BANG!

Chloe quickly pulled her covers down again and glared at her wardrobe again. Honestly, this was getting just ridiculous. She had to get a goodnight sleep for her first day at her new school tomorrow. This just would not do.

BANG!

Chloe vaulted out of bed and stood in front of her wardrobe at the ready. Her hair reared out from her head in crazy curls, ready for action. If there was a monster in that wardrobe she was going to have at it.

Whoosh!

Daniel Prime came running into his daughter’s room closely followed by her mother. Chloe turned to see her father staring at her in shock.

“Monsters, Dad.” Chloe quickly informed Daniel Prime. “In the cupboard. I’ve got them pinned.”

Daniel Prime started to enter the room.

“Get back!” Chloe yelled. “It’s too dangerous! Save Mum.”

Daniel Prime laughed and entered the room, scooping up his daughter.

“There are no monsters here Little Miss Lady.”

“Are you nervous about school tomorrow?” Mrs Prime asked.

“What?” Chloe snorted in surprise. “I’m excited about school. I just happen to have a rather serious monster issue to deal with.”

“I’ll deal with any monsters.” Daniel Prime said. “You just go to bed.”

“But Dad, what if there are ghosts, or fairies… or I heard that sometimes little time travelling pirates come breaking down your…” Chloe began.

“No buts, no brownies, no bandits! You need your rest if you’re going to be on the school shuttle on time tomorrow morning.” Daniel Prime tutted his daughter. “Besides you know all our wardrobes are double coated with Kevlarized Graphene. Nothing is getting through.”

“But what about bears? You know… sort of hiding in the cupboard rather than coming through it?” Chloe was grasping at straws by this stage. She knew she would never win this argument, and she was getting quite tired anyway. Her mother kissed her goodnight.

“Don’t you worry about any bears, Sweetie.” Mum said, as she walked out of the room. “I’m sure you can just talk your way out of trouble without fighting.”

And it was true, Chloe had always been able to talk with animals, and more importantly they were able to talk to her. So, even bears should not be a problem. Chloe cuddled up to her teddy Sinbad and dozed off with images of swashbuckling bears, whispering to fairy ghosts, in her dreams.
