(Eoghans pov)
I feel a retching pang of guilt and sadness as she drives away.
Cassidy has been sending her and Andi letters since she left again.
I've been keeping the letters from them.
Tears flow down my face as I walk back inside and sit at the kitchen table.
Lucia is gone and it's only a matter of time before Andi follows suit.
Unless.
I run into the girls room.
Lucia packed both her and Andi's stuff.
Not a chance.
Lucia can go all she wants but Andrea is only 15.
Where have they gone.
My mind is racing and my anxiety is building.
CHLOE.
I ring Chloe as fast as I can.
"Hell-"
"CHLOE I KNOW THE GIRLS ARE WITH YOU"
"WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T LET ANDI GO"
"Eoghan theyre already gone-"
"Chloe thats not even possible Luci just left"
"Eoghan it's 1pm-"
Wait what-
That's not possible what in the name of fuck is happening.
(Lucia's pov)
"Luci why can't we take your car to there?"
"Because we can't Andi"
We've been cycling back lanes for about a day and a half to get to Inizio
I've decided we're going to stop there find somewhere to stay and Look through those letters.
I'm starting to regret leaving Andi come with me.We finally reach Inizio when the sun finishes setting.
"Luci where are we staying?"
I look around the small old fashioned looking village.
"There"
I point at an extremely old looking Inn.
"Not a hope in fucking hell"
"Shut up Andi"
"I'm not going!"
"Well where else are you going to stay"
"In a tree or someshit"
I roll my eyes grab her arm and drag her to the inn forcing her inside the door before me.
There's a few people drinking beer.
We sit down shifting uncomfortably.
Time moves on and the people go in and out fading away in time.
This place seems like a time warp.
(Flashback)
Tucked into bed supposedly sleeping soundly.
Their argument keeping me awake.
I peep out my bedroom door every so often.
She's pacing the floor.
I notice that her shape has changed from earlier that day and perhaps what I've been seeing for the past few weeks probably months.
So that's the secret.
He's asking about what will happen after the baby is born.
What does that mean there's no baby here.
I close my door carefully again and sit on my bed looking at my sheep plush for advice.
None.Things that usually make me happy seem tedious and mundane.
Whenever she shows up his mood goes all flat and sad for a few days.
Her visits are never happy ones.
That never happen when I'm supposed to be awake.
I've come out of my room a few times but I now know better.
I get up and look out my door again.
Her belly is bigger and rounder.
She looks more exhausted then the last time I saw her.
He looks at her in despair.
I go out of my room and they look at me.
She quickly puffs out her jumper and she looks like she did before.
But I've seen it now I can't unsee it.
I wander aimlessly to the toilet trying to look like I've just woken up.
I close and lock the door.
I've been told not to lock the door but I think this time is an exception.
I go to the toilet and brush my teeth again putting off going back to my room for as long as possible.
I reluctantly unlock the door and go back into my bedroom closing the door and tucking myself into bed for good measure.
I stay very still and very quiet until they check on me.
I've gotten very good at pretending to be asleep.
It's more natural that actually being asleep now.
They close the door and a few minutes later their argument starts up again.
I don't like her.
I get up and peep out the door again.
They keep mentioning a baby.
What baby there is no baby anywhere near here.
My auntie Chloé is having two babies really soon.
But she isn't anywhere near here.
She lives ages away.
They stop arguing and look at eachother.
I squirm uncomfortably.
Tears start streaming down my face.
They both look at my door.
He quickly walks to my door and opens it.
I look up at him tears rolling down my face in endless streams.
I look at the floor shamefaced.
I can tell she's looking in.
That horrible witch is the one who ruined everything.
He gets down to my level and pulls me into one of his hugs.
(Flashback ends)
I shake my head and try to come back from my revere.
Andi is on her phone which I told her not to bring.
"Luci what the fuck just happened to you"
"What do you mean?"
"You were staring at the corner like a mad woman for half an hour,YOU DIDN'T EVEN BLINK"
I roll my eyes and look around me.
There's no one here and there's no bar?
"Andi where did the bar go?"
"What bar Luci?"
I turn to look at her.
She's looking in the direction the bar was.
"Whatever let's just get a room and get out of here""LUCI A RAT JUST RAN ACROSS THE FLOOR"
"Andi shut up"
"IM NOT SLEEPING IN THE SAME ROOM AS A RATS NEST"
The rat runs across the floor again and I crush its head with my foot killing it.
"WHAT THE FUCK LUCIA"
I roll my eyes.
"Andi it's a rat not that big of a deal"
"YOU JUST CRUSHED IT NONCHALANTLY"
"Andi let's just sleep"
There's a knock on the door and an old lady walks in right past us picks up the rat by the tail and walks out again.
Andi and I look at eachother.
Andi jogs out of the room and I follow her.
(Andi's pov)
As I run down the hallway something catches my eye.
I stop and leave Lucia pass me out before going back to check it.
I slowly walk into the room.
There's a necklace that looks like it's glowing.
My legs seem to be moving by themselves.
I get closer and closer to the necklace.
There's something so enticing about it.I reach out and my hand hovers over the gem on the necklace for a few seconds.
I take the grab the gem and take off the necklace stuffing it into my pocket quickly exiting the room.
I nearly bash into Luci in the hall.
She looks terrified.
"Andi we have to go"
I roll my eyes why's she so fast to leave she didn't want to leave in the first place.
Luci grabs my hand and runs into our room flinging me forward and slamming the door shut.
"What the fuck LUCI!"
She sinks to the floor and hides her face and presumably tears rolling down.
"I-I lost cont-rol..."
I raise my eyebrow.
"Lost control of what?"
"My pp-powers.."
(3rd pov)
Andi sits next to Luci pulling her into an embrace.
Based on Luci's current state she killed that old woman.
Someone starts pounding on the door and the girls scramble to get their bags and get out.
Andi opens the window and they flee into the dark of the night leaving only the curtains blowing in the wind.
