Our little tragedy theater

Chapter two, where the first blood spills

Note from the author:

This chapter is dedicated to IntrovertPandaa, because after 2 months I didn't even hoped to recieve at least one more vote. Thank you ! 

- "Ummm ... Why you asking?". - I said, trying to stay polite, but feeling cold shivers running down my spine.

- "Just wanted to know are we heading the same way, so we can go to our homes together". - She sincerely smiled and looked at me, waiting for an answer.

I relaxed a bit but still kept suspicious.

- Oh, sure I do. - I carefully said.

- Perfect! Do you mind if today we'll walk together? 

-  I don't mind, no ... let's go. - I said with an awkward smile.

For the next thirty minutes, we just walked throw the forest in silence, until Lil decided to start talking first.

- It looks like you know this forest pretty well, right ? - The answer to this question was quite obvious, so I answered without a second thought.

- Of course I do, I walk here every day. 

- Yeah ? ... Strange. Then why Liz got lost, when you were here, with her ?

I felt cold shivers running down my spine as I slowly began to understand why Lil invited me to walk with her in the first place. But I still printed a fake smile on my face, while answering her.

- Well, the problem is that when Liz went missing I wasn't with her.

- Oh really ? That's not what I heard.

- What do you mean ?

- When Liz was talking on the phone she said your name and told you to meet her at the bus stop. That was an hour before she disappeared.

I stopped and so did Lil. 

- What are you implying ? - I wanted my question to sound calm, but instead I asked it almost hissing from raising anger and fear.

Lil raised her eyebrows at my tone.

- Only that you are not a nice and homely girl you are trying to look like. 

I took a deep breath and tried to smile at Lil again.

- Listen, I know that you are going throw hard times after Liz died, so let's just forget all the things that you just said ... and probably didn't mean, okay ?

- No. I may not know how, but I do know what that night you did something to my sister. And I will do everything in my power to prove that you are the one to blame. Oh, and we arrived at my home, by the way. Well, see you later !

First of all I didn't understand the reason why Lil's tone suddenly changed so much, but after looking at the porch of her house I saw her parents standing there.

I quickly said hi to them and walked back to my home, which was very close to Lily's.

Jack popped into my room.

- Mom wants you downstairs.

- Coming. - I sighed, putting away my homework.

- Mom, you called me ?

- Yes, I just wanted to ask you to cut some carrots for me. 

- Oh, okay then. - I took a large knife from the counter and started cutting carrots, but after a few moments my finger slipped and the knife cut right into my skin.

- Ouch !

- Are you okay ?! - Mom worriedly looked at me.

- Yeah, I'm fine, just nicked a little bit.

Mom sighed.

- Even in the kitchen you somehow always manage to cut, burn and hurt yourself. Are you sure that no one ever cursed you?

- I'm sure, mom, guess I'm just very clumsy. - I smiled and threw up my hands.

Mom got me a patch and kicked me out of the kitchen, not listening to my hesitations.

I continued trying to finish my homework,but my thoughts kept returning to what Lil said. How much more did she know ... and how much more she wanted to ?

After two and a half hours of pointless staring at the wall, I decided to try and write the play for our theater. 

I took the pen and started writing, and writing and writing ... 

- Good morning class ! Oh Lord, Annabelle, you are so pale. Did you saw a ghost ?
