We walked into the cabin and saw all the horrible things that had been written on the walls. Like ‘fag’ ‘freak’ ‘dyke’
She stumbles back slightly, grabbing my hand for support. I couldn't tell if she was sad or angry, or both.
I kept looking at the words that were on my side of the room. The anger inside me is rising.
“That bitch is dead” I said and began walking through the door, forgetting that I was holding Ziggy's hand.
She pulled me back into the room “its okay flora, leave it, i have a plan in mind”
I roll my eyes “of course you do. And this plan doesn’t involve getting smacked in the nose does it?”
“I don't know maybe” she shrugged “anyway follow me”
Still no idea what we're going but I grabbed a bucket and followed her.
Cindy walked into the cabin before we could leave “what are you doing?”
“Art project” she sighed
“I need to talk to you” cindy said still looking worried
“I'm not in the mood “ ziggy said bluntly, ignoring her sister
“Earlier you said mary was upset” cindy continued
Ziggy scoffed “oh so now you care!”
“Ziggy, this is serious!”
“Uh sorry to interrupt whatever is going on here but do you want me to leave, please say yes because this is slightly awkward” i whispered the last part.
“No, it's fine flora you can stay,” Ziggy said in a harsh tone. “Cindy is the one that should leave.”
“No i'm not going anywhere” cindy cut in.
Ziggy began walking away, so naturally I followed her, and so did cindy.
“It was serious earlier and you didn't give a shit!” ziggy started looking into her sister's eyes.
“Are you sure you want me to stay, because i have to go and you know… shower” i interrupted shyly
“Please do” this time the answer was from cindy. “You two where the last ones to see her before she snapped”
“Okay and? Get to the point Nancy drew ''I said I was already bored with the conversation.
“Did you see any drugs?” she was clearly oblivious to the fact that ms lane was a nurse
“Well she was kinda a nurse so…” i rolled my eyes
Ziggy shot me a small smile, which I ignored.
“Well did she mention anything?”
“Nope” ziggy answered this time
“Will you two just work with me on this, please” she begged “i'm trying to figure out what happened”
“Who cares it's over now” ziggy stated clearly bored of the conversation as well
“Not for tommy! He's still freaked out and acting weird and… it's just a big joke to everyone. ‘Mary was possessed by the witch'’' cindy rambled
“Maybe it was the witch” i shrugged
“Flora you know that's not true” she denied
“It could be, who knows what's going on in the upside down of shadyside”
“Yeah doesn't that fit your carefully constructed bullshit view of the world?” ziggy questioned as we stopped walking
“Why are you being like this…?” cindy said with a hurt excretion on her face
Ziggy glared at her “i dunno. Maybe because nurse lane was one of the only people who were nice to me. Other than flora'' she gestured to me “and now her life is over because bad things happen to shadyside, it's always shadyside it has the bad things”
“Nothing just happens. There's always a reason” cindy justified
“Not always a rational one” i muttered looking around
Ziggy nodded at me “you feel it don't you, deep down you feel it” she said looking at cindy
Cindy stopped walking towards her “shadyside, there's something here. Its holding us down” ziggy looked at me for help
“Yeah it's called the witch and she's cursing us. So why don't you get one of the books about her from the library and do your little nancy drew book on her'' i helped ziggy out
Cindy looked as if she could cry “stop it, both of you”
Ziggy rolled her eyes “you just scared to admit it. When things get bad you try to explain it away”
“I'm sorry I'm not going to blame it all on a sick fairytale. Life sucks sometimes I get that, I mean, god knows it's been hard since…” cindy looked mad now
“Since what?” ziggy laughed “see you cant even say it”
I walked back to a nearby bench to give them some space.
Whilst waiting i zoned out thinking about what ziggy would say about me being gay, but she hasnt said anything yet so im just hoping that everything will be fine.
“I don't know who you are anymore but… your not my sister” cindy said breaking me out of my trans
“Then who am i?” ziggy asked
“A monster” cindy said
I wanted to hit her, for calling Ziggy a monster. Ziggy must have seen how i glared at her and held my arm and started to drag me away, with cindy following behind us
“That's what they say,” Ziggy said, showing Cindy the words on her wall.
Cindy looked hurt by hers and the words on the wall. She looked onto my side of the room and looked at me with sympathy. Then walked out of the cabin
“You okay?” i asked her
“Just perfect” she replied “you?”
“Peachy”
