The Life Changing Vacation

~Chapter 145~

Kristina's POV
A week had passed, and Joanna and I haven't been getting along at all. We had almost not talked to each other. One day, we all ate breakfast together. No one were saying a thing. But let me tell you something. Halloween was coming. When I was younger, I loved Halloween, but when I got older, I didn't like it that much anymore because my friends were growing away from it, and I always ended up alone. Haha. We all were decorating the house for Halloween. Halloween was so much bigger in The United States than in Norway, and I loved it. Dory and I were making pumpkin lanterns. Joanna and I were still mad at each other. Joanna told us to hurry up with the pumpkins so that she could set the table, the table was so messy.

"We're done soon", I said and rolled my eyes.

"Bitch", I whispered.

"Hey, watch your mouth", Joanna said.

"They are you so mad at me? I just talked to a therapist when I needed help", I explained.

"I'm a therapist, you can talk to me", Joanna said.

"That's really not the same", I told her.

"You did it in secret. You hid it from me. You talked shit about me", she said.

"Go to hell", I said.

Joanna hit me.

"What the fuck? That at really hurt", I said.

"Shut. Up.", Joanna said.

I turned around, and I could see Dory was gone. She was tired of us arguing all the time.

When we ate dinner, it was very quiet. Suddenly, Dory slammed her hand in the table.

"Ughhh, you have to talk to each other! This is not how a family works!", she said.

"Finally someone said it", Alex said proud.

I ran out of the house crying because of my guilt after what I told my therapist.

Joanna's POV
I felt I didn't have a choice to talk to Kristina. I met her at the place we always talked.

"Honey, I'm sorry for snapping at you", I told her.

"Sorry for talking to a therapist behind your back", she told me.

"It's fine", I said.

We went back home, and then we all ordered a pizza and watched a movie together.

Kristina's POV
The next day, I woke up to Dory yelling at me.

"Wake up!!", she yelled.

"What the hell?", I said.

"Why are you waking me up so early? It's 8:00 am", I explained.

"Well, duh.. It's Halloween!", she said.

The whole day, I could see Alex and Joanna acting a little strange.

"Hey Dory, they look a little strange, I swear to god, I think they're gonna kill us tonight", I giggled.

"When are they not strange? It's fine.. I mean, it's Alex and Joanna, they're always strange", She laughed.

Alex and Joanna told us that they were gonna go to a Halloween party for adults.

"What are you gonna dress up as?", Dory asked them.

"A cop", Alex told us.

"Myself.. a murderer", Joanna laughed.

Dory and I stayed home for the night, giving away candy to trick or treaters. I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth for the night, and then the lights went out. The door suddenly closed. It was locked.

"Dory!", I yelled.

She didn't answer. She didn't come helping me.

"Help!", I suddenly heard her scream.

The door unlocked, and then I found Dory tied to a chair in the living room. With a person with a black cloak standing over her with a knife. It looked like a sacrifice.

"No! Please don't hurt her!", I yelled.

I was gonna run upstairs to my room to get my phone and call Joanna and Alex, but the door shut.

"What the fuck is happening?", I cried.

Suddenly, the black hooded person stood behind me with a knife to my neck. I got terrified and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, the mysterious person took off the hood, and Alex stood there.

"Alex, what the heck?", I said.

Suddenly, Joanna came out of my room.

"Joanna? Wait.. is this a prank?", I asked.

"It is, Happy Halloween", she said as she turned the power on again.

"Wait, it is we a prank? I'm not getting murdered?", I heard Dory yell from the living room. She was still tied to the chair. Alex untied her. He laughed.

"Fuck you", Dory giggled.

We all brushed our teeth, and then we went to bed.
