The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 87~

Kristina's POV
The next day, I woke up sick. I had a headache, my throat was a little sore, I was freezing and it was hot at the same time. I went downstairs around 11:30 am, and I went to get a glass of water.

"Good morning", Joanna said.

"Good morning", I said with a hoarse voice.

"Are you okay? You don't look so good", Joanna said.

"I'm fine, just a little sick", I told her.

Joanna got up from the coach and put her hand on my forehead.

"I think you have a fever.. you should stay in today", she said as she followed me upstairs.

"It's okay, i'm fine.. I don't have to go back to bed", I said.

"But you should.. do you have a sore throat?", she asked.

"Just a little", I explained.

"I'll go to the grocery store to buy some throat lozenges", she said as she went downstairs.

Just then, Dory came upstairs.

"Is she a little.. overprotective?", Dory asked.

"Yeah, I think I'm glad she's not my mother", I giggled.

"But she's acting more and more like a mother.. think about that", she said and walked away.

Suddenly, Joanna came home. She came upstairs with throat lozenges, tea and some breakfast. I didn't drink tea, but I didn't say anything. I thanked her and then she went downstairs again.

Joanna's POV
I felt that I needed to call Erica and tell her what happened to Henry. But I was a little nervous for what she would do. I called her anyways.

"Erica, I might have done something", I started.

"What?", she asked.

"I got to know that Henry didn't want to take care of us after mom and dad died.. and I killed him", I told her.

"What?! You killed our brother?", she asked.

"I did.. but he abounded us", I explained.

"But he's our brother, Joanna! Our brother! He had kids and a wife that loved him! How can you be that little empathic?!", she yelled and hung up.

I didn't know what to do.. I thought she was gonna call the police on me.. I tried to call her so many times, but she didn't answer. Suddenly, the door bell rang. Erica stood there. She knocked me out, and everything turned turned black. I woke up in the basement tied to a chair. I recognized that I had a pocketknife in my pocket. The one I got from Kristina for my birthday. I managed to cut the rope, and then I used it to open the locked basement door. When I opened the door, no one was there. Alex and Dory wasn't home, Kristina were in her room and Erica was gone. Suddenly, she came down the stairs.

"I was just going to the toilet, and when I come back you're free? You thought I was gonna call the cops, didn't you? You're wrong.. I'm gonna end you", Erica said as she took a gun out of her pocket.

"I don't think so", I said as I walked over to her and held my pocketknife under her neck.

"Are you that bad in fighting? You can't even shoot someone", I giggled.

"Now give me the gun before I cut off your main artery", I threatened her.

Erica didn't listen. She just stood there looking terrified.

"Are you gonna give me gun or not?", I asked.

She still didn't answer.

"Alright then", I said as I cut her. She fell down to the ground and died.

Suddenly, Kristina came downstairs.

"Joanna? What is going on? You killed her?", she asked.

"Oh god.. She- she was gonna kill me", I explained.

"Tell me you're being honest", Kristina said.

"I am.. I really am", I said.

"How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?", I asked.

"No, not really.. but I guess it needs more time than 3 hours", she said and laughed.

Alex and Dory came home, and Alex burned the body.

"Are you okay?", Dory asked me.

"I don't know to be honest.. I've lost almost my whole family", I said.
