SINCE THE TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE ON THE BUS, HE HAD TAKEN CONTROL OF LILA WHEN HE NEEDED TO, AND ONE OF THOSE TIMES WAS NOW. He had willed her to keep her mouth shut about everything that was happening to her.
Lila's hair flew in her face as Billy's car drove at his usual fast pace. Whilst he did, her thoughts were thinking about last year, and how Stacey had vandalised that girl bathrooms at the snow ball to intentionally hurt Lila's feelings. Why, she didn't know.
If it were to be Lila controlling her own mind, she wouldn't have cared, and put it behind her until the came face to face with Stacey again by coincidence. Unfortunately for her, it was not Lila controlling her own mind, it was the mind flayer. Which explained how the brother and sister duo were currently on their way to the rich girl's home.
As the car slowed down, Lila got out, putting her now signature sunglasses on her face, despite the darkness outside. Her light footsteps made no sound despite how quiet Loch Nora was at this time of the night. The only sound other than that was the faint sound of Angel by Madonna fading from one of the upper bedrooms.
Walking up to the freshly-painted white door, she knocked the door a few times and rung the doorbell, to make sure that whoever was home heard her.
Less than a few minutes later, she rapidly grew impatient and was about to knock again, but the door was unlocked by a woman in her thirties or forties. She had a scowl on her face, as she was probably irritated that someone had woken her up this late.
"Can I help you?" She spoke swiftly, tapping her foot.
"I'm Lila. Are you Stacey's mom?" Lila asked, her words sounding foreign to leave her tongue.
"Yes, I'm Mrs Albright. What do you want?" She looked the girl up and down, her eyes lingering on the faint sweat mark by her collar bone.
"I need to speak to Stacey."
"Give me a second." She scrunched up her nose, then shut the door in Lila's face. Mere minutes later, the music playing from the upper bedroom shut off, leaving nothing but silence.
Eventually, there were footsteps leading up to the door which made Lila straighten up. When it did open, Stacey didn't hesitate to narrow her eyes at Lila.
"Oh. It's you." The younger girl spat.
"Yeah, it's me, Stacey. Do you- do you remember that night? When was it again... the fifteenth of December?" She paused as the girl dressed in her pyjamas widened her eyes, chewing her gum slowly. "Yeah... you wrote those things on the wall about me. I've always wondered why. Was it the fact that I just moved here, making people talk about me more than you or-"
Stacey cut her off, chewing her gum now obnoxiously loud. The snobby girl glanced at her wrist. "Hurry up and go, you smelly freak. I don't have time for this." Truth be told, neither did Lila. He wanted to use her to finish up as soon as possible, and the story-telling was not helping.
Lila hesitated, squinting her eyes and turning to look at Billy for a second, before remembering that he was practically invisible by the car windshield. So, she turned around, and shoved her fist in Stacey's face. It felt good to finally punch someone who deserved it.
Her head flew back, and her hand instinctively reached up to hold her nose which had blood falling down from it. Had it been the normal Lila who'd punched her, it wouldn't have hurt that much. She used her moment of distraction to raise her leg and kick her between her stomach and chest.
Stacey tried to catch her breath for a second, but she never could as Lila kicked her in the jaw. Her head flew sideways, catching onto the tv stand that was situated by the door, before she finally landed on the floor.
Lila exhaled, regaining her breath before she lifted the unconscious girl over her shoulder, kindly closing the door behind her. She grunted as she carried the girl that was basically her weight down the steps of the Albright household.
Using one hand to not drop Stacey, she used the other to open the back car door as the trunk was already taken, with Heather.
Lila shut it closed, before getting in the front passenger seat wordlessly, and Billy pulled out of the driveway and they started towards Brimborn Steelworks.
However, she didn't notice the girl with superpowers who watched the argument from a safe distance in a cabin, before exiting her void.
911 what's your emergency?
I need to report a missing person.
Yes, who is it?
Stacey Albright, she's my daughter.
When was she last seen?
Last night, it was around midnight.
Can you describe what happened?
A smelly girl came to my door, she went by the name of Lily, or Lila, could have been Lacey, she asked to talk to Stacey, so I got her, and I went back to sleep. This morning, I came downstairs and- and the door was left unlocked, and the- oh gosh, there's blood, by the door on the corner of the tv stand. It- there's a little on the floor too, just find her and make sure she's alright.
Stay calm, she's going to be fine. Was there anyone else she was last talking to?
Before I came, she was on the phone with her friend, Jennifer Hayes. They seemed to be arguing.
You mentioned a girl came to the door? Can you describe her?+
She was wearing sunglasses, black ones. They were tinted. Her hair was cut to about, just below her collarbone I think, and- she- there was this sweat, as if she was sweating a lot. On her shirt, her neck. Her shirt was pink and white- striped. Basic disgusting pink pants, and yellowish sandals, they were probably white at first, but old.
Thank you for your co-operation ma'am, we will do our best to find her. In the meantime, please make sure you call her friend's parents and make sure she's not there.
Just find her.
We will try our best ma'am.
