The Nanny; Chapter two; By Emily
Sara quietly walked behind Daniel, studying the small eleven year old. Daniel could feel her eye on the back of his head. Daniel decided to break the silence and put a little fear into his new nanny. "So I take it you don’t know the stories?" Sara shrugged. "Guess not. Care to tell me?" Daniel smiled a sinister smile. "One time I let lose all the bats in this zoo, right into my nanny’s hair." Sara giggled and put a hand over her mouth. Daniel stared at her. This was going to be hard. "The other time I pushed one of my nannies of the ride and she fell into a pond." Sara was shaking with laughter, while Daniel fumed. "Why is she laughing?" he though to himself. Daniel decided to be quiet, lest she think he was trying to make her smile."
Outside in the garden, Daniel was climbing a tree and Sara was sitting not to far away reading her book. After 6:oo chimed for Diner, Sara stood and made her way to the tree. "Time to go, Danny." Daniel frowned. "I’m not coming down. Ever." Sara shrugged. "Ok." She went over to chat with the Gardener, Matt. Daniel watched her go, surprised. After about twenty minutes up in the tree, Daniel was getting hungry. Hopping down, he walked over to Sara. She looked at him surprised. "Thought you weren’t coming down." Daniel shrugged, "guess not." Inside Daniel was furious. What was wrong with this girl? What would it take to send her packing? Sara and Daniel made their way into the dining room, luckily, Mr. Tynerial was late also and had not missed them. Daniel watched Sara carefully. Plans already forming in his mind ..........
"Guess where we’re going." Said Sara, pushing Daniel into the limo. Daniel growled, arms crossed, "Where?" Sara beamed happily. "The Army Base!" Daniel rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Sara hugged him warmly. "It’s so cool!" Daniel watched the scenery from the window. He was used to hugs now. It had been almost a week since Sara had become his nanny and nothing he had tried worked. Frogs in her food, fake bugs in her hair, faking his own death to scare her, nothing work! You name it, Daniel had tried it. He had even placed a huge bird spider in her bed. She hadn’t screamed, she hadn’t killed it, she called it the cutest thing she had even seen and now "Muffin" had her very own cage on Sara’s dresser. Daniel was tired and had decide to behave on this trip... to give a false sense of peace, Daniel mused. Finally the limo pulled up into the Base. Sara and Daniel, now know as Danny, walked up to the front desk. Danny could hear the limo pulling away. "I.D. Please." Stated the officer. To Danny’s surprise Sara pulled out an Army I.D. card. After being checked she hurried into the base, Danny in tow. "How do you have an Army I.D.?" Danny asked Sara. Sara didn’t answer, instead she ran up and hugged a man. Even Danny could tell that this was the General. "Dad!" cried Sara happily. The General hugged Sara back. "Hello honey. Where’s your friend?" Sara pulled Danny forward. Danny shook his hand, Danny’s father and the General had met before. "Say, Aren’t you Daniel Tynerial?" Danny nodded. "Wow Sara, you didn’t tell me that this was your client." Sara nodded, beaming. "He’s so nice! He gave me a pet spider!" The General raised an eyebrow at Danny. Danny looked at the floor sheepishly.Sara didn’t notice, "Come on Danny! Paint ball is waiting." Danny stared at Sara. "Paint Ball?!!?"Sara smiled and pulled Danny with her over to gear up.After three hours of the best field trip Danny had ever been on, Sara and Danny both called it quits. It was about four in the afternoon and after putting away their gear, Danny was ready to sit down. But when he reached the parking lot there was no limo to be seen. Only a small, blue car. When Sara jumped in, Danny was even more surprised. Sara turned to look at him. "Well, Get in." Danny slowly opened the front door and slid into the seat. Out on the road, Danny asked Sara, "Where are we going?" Sara smiled and pointed at the large D.Q. sign for Dairy Queen. Sara pulled the car into the parking lot and they both went inside for ice cream. They took a seat back in behind and sat back to talk. "What’s your favorite color, Danny?" Danny thought for a moment. "Red. Yours?" Sara laughed. "Blue." Danny thought about it and finally said, "It goes nice with your hair." Sara held up a lock of her long, blond hair. "Thank you." It was a long drive back and the only thing they could do was talk because Sara’s radio was broken."Tell me about you, Sara." asked Danny after they discussed the weather. Sara smiled and said, "When my dad was in the Army we moved a lot. Probably eight or nine time in my whole life. The last place was Montana. In a small town near Ronan. That’s where I finished high school. After that I went to college to become a artist. Right after a graduated my mother died and my Dad moved here. Since I was unknown to the creative world I moved too and got a job with you." Danny sat listening to her story feeling extremely guilty. He had always not cared about any nanny he had before but looking back he realized that maybe they too had a background. They pulled up to his Father’s mansion and walked inside. "Night Danny. I’ve got to go feed Muffin." Danny nodded and crept to his bedroom for it was almost eight and Danny had to get up early tomorrow.
