̶N̶o̶t̶ Made For You

Ticking Time Bomb

Chase looked over the scene in horror.

He wasn't prepared for this. None of them were.

The fear in everyone's eyes. In her's.

His body was shaking in fear but also something else.

Rage boiled over inside of him and he pulled out his gun.

Earlier that day

Mia was sipping some coffee at the table, relishing the flavor.

She was a bit different than the others when it came to coffee. Where her brothers preferred their coffee black with maybe a little sugar, Mia loved hers with a bunch of flavored cream and sugar. Plus the coffee was flavored, too! Mostly she loved either vanilla or caramel flavorings and man, did she get a lot of crap for it.

Especially from Henrik.

He sat across from her this morning shaking his head at her drinking his own coffee, "I'm pretty sure that level of sugar in zhe morning is NOT good for you"

She playfully flipped him off, "Hey, I don't bug YOU for drinking literally a gallon of straight coffee a day, Schneep. Bug off"

He rolled his eyes, "Vell, this is why you don't lose wei-"

"Hey! What you guys talking about over here!?" Jackie broke in the conversation. He knew Henrik was blunt and he didn't want Mia's feelings to be hurt. Henrik wouldn't mean to be an ass but . . . . it certainly would sometimes come across that way.

Mia was suspicious but took another gulp of her coffee, "Nothing . . . . hey, I heard from Sean you're gonna be doing some acting for that video coming up? You excited?"

Jackie grinned and stood up straight and proud, "Yeah! It'll be my first video in a long while! I'm kind of nervous, actually about what everyone will think."

"Aw, they'll love ya"

He laughed happily, "Anyway, I don't know why you're asking ME, won't you be coming, too?"

Mia blinked at him, "Well . . . I wouldn't think so. Sean's never needed me in his videos"

Jackie blushed, "Well, I mean . . just in case .. . we wanna do some stunts or something"

" .. . .. oh" Mia shrugged, "I . . I don't know. Sean hasn't told me anything. Probably not, then"

"Oh . . . okay then"

An uncomfortable silence wafted through the air of the room.

"Fucking hell, that was awkward" a new voice popped in.

They looked around to see Anti at the door way smirking. It was obvious he had just rolled out of bed, his hair in disarray and stale crusty blood still caked on his throat.

Mia grimaced, "Ew, you couldn't have showered before coming down?"

Anti huffed, "My shower drain is filled . . . with fucking GLITTER . . . STILL. I swear you dumped a JUG of the shite on me"

"oh"

"OH!" Anti rolled his eyes, "So much fucking glitter . . . ." there was reminiscent horror in his eyes as he stared off at a wall.

Marvin came up from behind him chuckling, "I could clean your drain for ya"

Henrik face palmed, "Marvin . . . .. no"

"Ew, man. Come on" Jackie also groaned in disgust.

Marvin gave THEM a disgusted look, though, "What? No, really. I found a spell for that. . . freaks."
