How I Survived

Part 53

"Your pregnant" I pointed a surprised finger at her

What the actual frickity frackity crickety crackety bullshit is going on right now

"I-I don't know what to do mama and papa haven't come home and I'm scared" tears streamed down her face as she stared at me hopelessly

"Lucien and Rowena are dead" i raised an eyebrow causing her to stumble backwards

She has the audacity to be scared of me after everything

"W-what" she held onto the doorframe for support "they-they can't be please tell me your lying"

I ran a hand down my face and groaned "trust me there're dead, I literally killed them myself"

She looked at me her eyes flashing with fear "you've seen the videos you were there when I confronted them so don't act clueless" i hissed

"They don't deserve death" she cried

"Well it's to late now, leave" my hands formed fists my nails digging into my palm

We stared at each other, my sister

"Please" her lower lip continued to tremble

"Wait a second" I murmured turning around

I saw what was inside her shirt, she had a tiny microphone hidden, why was she wired?

I went inside for a minute forming a plan as I placed a bottle of water on the table and walked back to the door.

I let Astraea in much to her surprise as she sat on a stool

"And what about Aries?" I questioned my nails tapping against the table

"He left" her eyes glistened with tears once more "he said he was disgraced by our family and the way they treated you and left, he told me to go with him but I couldn't" she shook her head as though the idea was ridiculous, drinking some water from the bottle I gave her as I drank from my own glass that was already on the table

"I don't know what to do Phoenix please"

"What do you want me to do huh what the fuck am I supposed to do, you have the audacity after the way you treated me to come to my door and demand my help. I could kill you right here, right now and move on" I spoke calmly

"You wouldn't, I-I'm your sister" her eyes started dropping

"It's truly saddening if you think the way you've treated me still allows us to be sisters" I caught her body as she fell back, the effects of the pregnancy safe tranquilliser I put inside her drink kicking in

"Why" she mumbled as she drifted off

"I don't trust you"

I laid her down on the couch, the drug wares off in around 6 hours unless I inject more

I took out the microphone and inspected it, releasing it would be of no help and so crushed it.

Sliding down a wall in my bedroom at three in the morning with tears and snot running down your face isn't the best look. And so I sat there in the dark, overwhelmed with things I wish I didn't have to think about

I looked up into the body mirror I had on the opposite wall I was just begging myself to hold on and be strong.

It felt the world was slowly draining me for everything that I had.

My hands gripped my hair tightly as I watched Milo walk in "hello sweety"

"Your not real" I shook my head "your not real your not real your not real your not real"
