The Mummy Maker

Chapter 23

I cannot believe she would do cust a thing! She cheated on dad... Twice! I thought as angrily strolled the empty streets, most people were at work or school by now. I knew I should have been in school myself but with everything that just got shovelled into my mouth I wasn't feeling up to it. I would have been too distracted to do any work which would get me into my trouble to just ditching school altogether.

I let out a sigh as I made my way through the town a few moms with their little one stared at me. They probably thought I was a bad kick or a school dropout, all these moms staring are probably judging me and thinking the worst. I rummaged my pockets for my phone when I realised that it was still in my bag at home. I grunted in frustration and kicked a stone as I slouched through the park.

I felt a couple drops of rain hit my forehead as I sat own on the lonely pack bench, I shimmed down to rest my head on the back and look up at the sky. My life is a mess, sister missing. Boy ghosting me and now this... I sighed loudly once more as another drop hit me in the eye. Maybe I could just melt with the rain...that'd be nice

Being here in this park reminded me so much of mystic, I wounder what she's doing.... Or what she would even say right now. I head footsteps slowly approach with distant whispers. Looking to my right I was the relieved face of Jacob as he spotted it was me. My heart ached as I looked at him. Please don't come near me.

Much to my wishing, Jacob hung up the phone with a relieved sigh and sat on the other side f the bench looking at me. "We were worried about you, Raven called telling me you haven't shown up to school and wasn't answering." I didn't reply to him, and he sighed away moving closure.

"Arabella, what's going on." Tears filled and spilt out of my eyes as I looked at him sitting up, he wanted to know what was wrong? I'll bloody tell him.

"You ghosted me! that was my first kiss and you ghosted me! I have some strangers show up and turn my life around. My sister is missing! What the hell do you want form me?" I shouted to him. He looked taken back that I raised my voice. I sat there for a moment looking down at the floor. At least that made me feel batter." He chuckled slightly

"I'm sorry I ghosted you, there no excuse I just didn't want to push to quicky that kiss was supposed to be for our date not the walk home and I thought I messed everything up." I looked up at him with a smile, he smiled back. I reached and grabbed his hand.

"Thank you." I said, he smiled at me before his head snapped up. I followed his gaze to see the twin stomping there way over to me. "You should be in school." I joked when she was close enough, she didn't laugh or smile as she grabbed my face and stood me up.

"What the hell happened to your face?" her eye snapped to Jacob and back to me, I knew what she was thinking. I grabbed her hands and pried them from my face before looking at her.

"Turns out my dad isn't my dad and mine punched me in the face during a fight with Leonardo." She sat me down between her and Jacob and looked at me.

"Tell me everything." I spilt everything to all three, it took a army to stop Diesel from kicking Marks ass. They'd stay with me till the sky got dark, they walked me home and waved goodbye. I opened the door and sighed.

"You should have told me about Arabella Venessa!" Dad shouted, Moreen looked at me shaking her head and shut the front room door with Enzo and the little ones inside.

"Why? So, you could treat her different!" Mom shouted back.

"I think we need to have a civilised discussion about Elleanor." Mark chimed in.

"No, you do not get to decided that they are my daughters!" Dad shouted smashing something, I heard my mother wheeping. I grabbed my phone from my back before turning around I slamming the door shut as I left for another walk, I kept away from the town and carried on walking till I hit a dirty looking cannel.

It was piled with rubbish and smelt like several things had died here, the path either side were concrete walkways. With a couple of broken bridges in the sky above, a couple of rain drop hit my head before hammering it down. With a sigh I walked over to the nearest bridge for protection not that it mattered as I was soaked, I sat down and my back his something soft and squishy.

I slowly lifted myself back up to my feet and turned around, it was a long object, it was wrapped up in what looking like bandages with red batches. It's a Halloween object...right? I tried to calm myself as I poked a red patch determined to prove it was fake. As I pulled way I was left with red liquid on my fingertips, my head fuzzed more as I looked down at it.

I looked around before I used my foot to move the object, it rolled over with ease. My body grew weak and cold, tear spilt as the blood curdling scream forced its way out of my mouth. I let to the ground and shuffled away almost falling into the canal. What the actual fuck!
