Jessie opens the door to her house and slams it shut. Nikky hasn't arrived from school yet and her mother left a notice on the door saying that she went shopping so the only people in the house are Jessie and...Frederick...
Jessie wants to go to her room when suddenly she hears her father call her name from the living room. Crap. She really doesn't need to see that man, but there she goes.
Jessie is now standing in the living room, in front of her father who is sitting on the couch.
'How was school today, dear ? Did anything weird happen?', he questions, looking at Jessie as if he knew something she didn't. 'School was alright. Nothing special happened.', Jessie answers and runs up to her room.
As soon as she gets in her room, tears start streaming down her face. Her whole body is shaking from fear and sadness. She grabs her phone to distract herself when suddenly, a small piece of paper falls to the floor. Curious, Jessie grabs the piece of paper and what she sees makes her a little bit confused...
In Zacks handwriting, Jessie reads :
Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. There's something I didn't tell you... I'm part of the rebellion. You have a power don't you? There's someone in the rebellion who might be able to help you master it. If you want to join the rebellion, you have to call this number: xxx-xxx-xxx. A person will pick up the call and ask what pizza you want. You'll have to say that you want an extra large pizza with a lot of justice and freedom. They'll deliver you a pizza box with the adress of the basement of the rebellion. As you probably know now, Hannah is part of the rebellion too. Please forgive her for me...
With best greetings...
Zack
Jessie stares at the paper, hope rising in her chest. Will she be able to help Zack if she joins the rebellion? She is ready to do anything for her friend... As Jessie thinks about what she should do, she notices that her father is getting out of the house. He is standing outside of the house as he suddenly disspears. He probably just teletransportated himself to work. Now's her chance to call the number written on Zacks paper. She dials the number on her phone and waits for someone to pick up the call.
'Hello? This is a pizzeria, what pizza do you want?', a voice asks. It's a mans voice, probably an older man. That voice kind of sounds familliar...
'Uh, I'd like an extra large pizza with a lot of justice and freedom...', Jessie says, kind of nervous.
'Alright then. Where do you live?' Jessie gives her adress, stuttering.
'Is anyone alse than you home?', the voice questions. 'No, I'm the only one here.', Jessie answers.
'Ok, Rose. Don't worry, everything will be fine.', the voice says and hangs up the call.
Wait a second...that voice is from that old weird man that kept on saying that he was her grandpa! Great... now she has to deal with that creep... Jessie just hopes that he isn't the one who's going to deliver the pizza...
Fifteen minutes pass and Jessie is really starting to get impatient when suddenly the house bell rings. Jessie runs to the front door and quickly opens it.
On the threshold of the door is a girl, probably of her age, wearing black clothes and a black masks so no one recognizes her. She has short red hair and is a little bit taller than Jessie.
'Here's you pizza...', the girl shyly says, stretching out her arms in front of her in which is a pizza box.
'Have a nice day!', she exclaims as she goes to her bike and starts driving away.
'You too!', Jessie shouts, although she isn't sure the girl heard her. Before anyone comes home, she goes to her room and puts the pizza box under her bed. As soon as she puts the box under her bed, she hears the front door open and Nikky exclaim 'I'M BACK! GIMME FOOD! NOW!'
Jessie sighs and goes downstairs to get some food ready for Nikky. She prepares her some noodles since Nikky seems to like them a lot.
'Fhanks', Nikky muffles, her mound full of noodles.
'Don't talk with your mouth full of food, you idiot.', Jessie says. 'Look, I need to tell you something, but we can only talk in my room.'
Jessie has decided to tell Nikky about the fact that she isn't really her sister and also about Nikkys father, Frederick...
'Oh, alright then, we'll talk once I finish eating.'
Some time later, they're standing in Jessies room. Jessie is nervously biting her lip while Nikky is curiously staring at her. 'Come, sit beside me.' Jessie tells Nikky.
Nikky does as Jessie says and sits beside her. Jessie can't take it anymore. She starts telling Nikky about everything. Her dead father, about Frederick and also about her erased memories and the fact that Jessie is adopted. Nikkys eyes get bigger with each second.
'What? That's impossible! It can't be true!', Nikky yells, scared.
'Oh, yes it can.', a voice behind her suddenly says. It was Anne, Nikkys mother.
'There's something both of you don't know. Frederick was actually the person of the government who killed Jessies, or should I say, Roses biological father.'
The silence is so intense that Jessie can feel it in the air. She feels dizzy... Everything around her is slowly going black and the last thing she hears is her sister and her mother calling her name...
...to be continued...
