REVEALED TRICKS

"mother."

terry hums, "nice to see you recognise me. what did you to your hair?" her voice was filled with disgust.

"wow, first thing you do is insult me. how was prison?" el shot back, her anger through the roof.

terry laughs sarcastically and crosses her arms over her chest.

el let's out an angered sigh, grasping onto the doorknob tightly as her eyes fall shut, "mike, can you take aurelia upstairs for me?" she shuts the door halfway as she spoke.

"huh? why?" he rushes out with aurelia in his arms, "oh my god, is it the police? i knew we shouldn't have trespassed into the fucking library!"

she swallow harshly and shakes her head, "just do it please."

he nods quietly and rushes to take aurelia upstairs to her room. "stay with her." el adds as mike gives her a thumbs up and shuts aurelia's room door once they got in.

she goes to open the door wider again, "what do you want?"

"you." she states and walks through the door without consent.

"i didn't say you could come in." el grits through her teeth and slams the door shut.

terry hums and ignores her. instead, she looks around the halls, "who's the girl?" she points to a framed photo of aurelia.

"none of your damn business." el says as terry makes her way to the living room making el roll her eyes and follows her.

"now what the hell do you want?" el asks again as terry turns to her after looking at some drawings made by aurelia, "you."

"me? i'm sorry, mother but for once you're not making sense." el says and crosses her arms.

"oh, don't test me child. you know damn well what the hell i want. you got your father killed and now i will take what is ours." she demands and walks towards her.

"yeah?" el tests her further despite her fear, "and what is yours, mother?"

"i swear to god—"

el breathes heavily, her anger bursting out and allowing everything in the living room to float upwards, "go on, mother. continue and let's see what will happen."

terry smirks and holds up her index finger and waves it, making everything drop down to where it was supposed to, "darling, did you really think you are the only one with tricks up your sleeves?"

"h-how did you—" her voice trails off quietly before looking up at her, "you injected yourself. you injected yourself right before you went to prison."

"hmm, i see my girl has gotten smarter." she smirks.

el chuckles, "thats why you guys needed me. to mould me into someone you guys wanted. to use me as a machine. that's why father couldn't kill me even though he wanted to."

terry pouts sarcastically, "look who is catching on."

"then you wouldn't need me." el states, "you can do the same. you don't need me."
