Immortal Strangers: The Experiments

Chapter Nine: Property Sisters

After searching through multiple directories and spending nearly an entire day exhausting their options. Lexi and Robin finally met with a realtor on Maple street. The house was not far from the Sinclairs' or the Wheelers'. It was right in between sitting at 2529 Maple Street. The home was very similar to the Wheelers'. It had the familiar brick but instead of being red it was gray and had the same white siding. The location of it was just across the street from the Wheelers' and one house down. Lexi placed her hand on the shoulder of the realtor as they stood in the foyer area. Her eyes began to dilate as she spoke. "You have received our payment and will never return here or have any questions. You believe that Robin Buckley owns this house." Lowering her hand, the person smiled.

"Let's get these papers signed!" Approval and a job well done, she motioned for Robin. Lexi smirked as she stared.

"Who are we putting down?" Lifting her head with her eyes curious, Robin looked at Lexi.

"We need someone human so we could just have you sign it over to him?" Lexi referenced the man standing there patiently waiting with a smile on his face. "It's your choice." Lexi crossed her arms, leaving the decision up to Robin. The realtor turned to Robin, offering the pen with a smile still intact. Sighing, she grabbed the pen. She had an idea who she could put down and she knew his signature like the back of her hand. Lexi smiled as Robin began signing the papers along with the realtor. After a few minutes had passed and Lexi had been walking around the home, checking it over and glancing out of the window, thinking. The papers had been signed over and just as quickly as it had occurred, Lexi stood at the doorway feeling the barrier begin to build up. The pressure became too much so she quickly stepped outside of the home and across the threshold. Taking in a breath, she turned to look inside as Robin was thrown through the doorway, landing on her backside. Looking up from the front yard, she glared at Lexi. The realtor stepped toward them and Lexi once more smiled and politely stated.

"Thanks, now go and never come back." Lexi's eyes dilated once more as the person listened. Robin stares at her for a minute as the realtor brushes past the two to leave.

"Thanks!" Robin proclaimed as the person waved.

"Thanks for doing business!" With those words they were driving away, never to be seen again. Her eyes returned to the blonde standing just outside of the door in front of them. Looking at her and turning her head slightly, she turned and sat on the steps of the front door. "Never thought I'd be signing papers for a house at 20..." The thought alone was entirely crazy to Robin. Lexi walked up beside her and patted her shoulder as she seated herself next to her.

"Congratulations!" Even if it had been compulsion, Robin still got to experience it. For some reason, it still felt real. A feeling of sadness washed over her as she thought of something else that she had never expected.

"I guess I never thought I'd stop aging either, or that I'd be killed at 20..." A sigh left her lips as she placed a hand on her forehead. It was a lot to take in. She'd never age again and everyone she knew and loved around her would continue aging. For an eternity, she'd be the exact woman she was right then and there. From the moment of her death, Robin had felt the intensity of who she was. The person she would be for the rest of her lifetime, however long that ended up being. Her mind wandered to Steve. What she had done to him was unforgivable and she'd have to live with that for the rest of her life. Her best friend hated her and said she was dead, even when she was standing right in front of him. That would never go away.

"Robin, it's a lot to take in. Give yourself time, you're already doing really good! You're going to be fine. I know it." Lexi placed a hand on Robin's shoulder, attempting to comfort her. It helped but Lexi wasn't Stefan. There was just something about Stefan's embrace that seemed to help any person that came in contact with him. He was just different. Kind and compassionate. Something you wouldn't think of when thinking of a bloodsucking vampire.
