The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 100~

Kristina's POV
We were talking for a while about how Emma got involved in this from the first place.

"I don't like have you choose Dory over me.. when I found out that you were going to the United States without me, I went on the dark web to find someone to help me in some kind of way. I found Joanna, and she had written on her profile that she would give away 300k dollars to someone who would help her hide her criminality and the kidnapping of two girls. You never answered my snaps or my calls so I was sure that you were the one who were kidnapped. I contacted her and told her that I would help her.. because I was pissed", Emma told me.

"What!? I'm not choosing Dory over you, you're both my friends", I explained to Emma.

"You told us that you didn't get paid for helping her", Dory said.

"Well, I didn't take the money she offered.. just some money to survive", Emma said.

"You're at the dark web?", I asked Joanna.

"I am", she told me.

"Screw you.. you really are a criminal", I said.

"Hey, watch your mouth", Joanna said as she walked away.

I looked pissed at Emma.

"You want us dead?", I asked her.

"Dead? Ugh, don't be so dramatic! I'm just sick of having you around talking about your internet best friend all the time.. I wanted rid of you.. well, now you don't have to worry about not meeting each other. You live with each other, be grateful", Emma said.

"My parents are dead!! You loved them! Why are you so calm?", I asked.

"I don't care, okay? I don't care about anything anymore", She said.

"You bitch", I said as I slapped her.

We got into a fight.

Suddenly, Joanna came.

"What is going on here!?", she yelled as she tried to stop us.

Emma was much stronger than me, so she managed to knock me down to the floor, and then she stabbed me in the shoulder with a sewing needle. I managed to get up from the floor, and I grabbed the gun laying on the table. I aimed it at her.

"Kristina, give me the gun!", Joanna raised her voice.

"She helped you.. she helped you keeping me here.. she's one of the reasons my parents are dead, and I got tortured physically and mentally! I'm so sick of this!", I said.

"Kristina, she's not the reason for your parents' death, you need to trust me! They died before she contacted me", Joanna explained.

"Don't tell me that she doesn't deserve the blame for anything of this shit", I said.

"Kristina, put down the gun!", Joann repeated.

"Have you been in New York all the time or did you go back to Norway?", I asked Emma.

"I've been here all the time since I went back to the hotel. Joanna had given me some money and told me to stay and keep a low profile in New York City", Emma told me.

"So you've been working for Joanna this whole time.. what have you been doing for her?", I asked.

"Just killing a few people, avoiding the police from finding out things, getting rid of evidence etc", She explained.

"You've killed people!?", I asked.

"It's not like you haven't done that too", Joanna suddenly said.

"Shut up", I said.

Joanna giggled. "And you doesn't feel bad, do you?", she asked.

"I feel bad for some of them", I said.

"Only some of them?", Joanna asked.

"Joanna, stop!! You're trying to hurt me", I explained.

"Emma will be staying here for a few days and then she will go back to her hotel", Joanna said.

"Stay here?", I asked.

"That's right", she said.

"I'm outta here", I said as I was going to leave the house. But Joanna grabbed my hand.

"Let go of me!", I said.

"You're not going anywhere.. now go upstairs before I'm doing something stupid", Joanna said as she let go of my hand.

"What the hell? You act like you care about me, and then Emma stabs me with a needle and then you don't give a fuck?", I asked.

"Ugh.. it's just a needle for goodness sakes.. If she stabbed you with a knife then it would be something different", she said.

"I don't dare to take it out of my shoulder, it hurts", I said.

"Jesus christ", Joanna said as she dragged the needle out of my shoulder.

"Ouch!!", I yelled.

"Can you not tolerate any pain? Be happy you're not stabbed in the stomach with a knife.. or be happy she didn't break your hand", Joanna said as she went outside.

I looked mad at Emma, and then I went upstairs. Suddenly, Dory came and went to bed.

"Why are you going to bed so early? It's only 10:00 pm", I said.

"I'm exhausted", Dory said.

Around 11:00, Joanna came into my room and told me that she was sorry. And then she told me that I should probably go to bed because it has been a long day. I told her that I was gonna go to bed, but I didn't. I heard Joanna and Emma talking in the living room, so I went out of bed and snuck to the stairs to see if I heard what they were talking about. I could hear they talking about the memories Emma and I had together. I could hear Emma almost starting to cry, but Joanna told her that not every friendship is supposed to last forever. I snuck downstairs and I saw Joanna hug Emma.

"We'll get through this.. i'll help you get an education in the United States if you continue helping me", she said.

"I will", Emma said.

"I will pay for your online school", Joanna smiled.

"I'll do anything you tell me to do.. I'm so pissed at Kristina, if you want me to do anything to her or Dory then I'm open to it", I heard Emma say.

Suddenly, Joanna recognized me.

"Oh no.. Kristina, you should have been in bed", she said.

I wouldn't listen to her, I just turned around and ran upstairs. I started crying. Joanna followed me. She didn't show any signs that she was mad or something, she just hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"I'm sorry", she comforted me.

"Leave me alone", I said.

"Kristina, I want you to talk to me", she told me.

"I said leave me alone!!", I yelled.

Joanna looked worried at me, and then she walked out of my room.
