Midnight's daughters

Midnight's daughters 10

Zee stopped talking and cried onto my shoulder. She had her heart broken but she loves him too much to be able to hate him. We ended up in our designated tree hut that was 2 ft. of the ground. (Why do you think it took us 4 hours to build them all?) Both of us talking about what had happened before dad took us in. Laughing and crying at bits of our lives giving advice during other parts.

Satan came back with food and before we knew it we were laughing and joking around. Joey refused to eat anything but fish though. It was quite funny because everyone else hated the fish and just ate the other meat that Satan said was best we DON'T know what it came from. Joey then fell asleep and I put her to bed.

An awkward silence fell over us. Surprisingly Zee broke that silence.

"Bad luck hates dad too. We can trust her." She said honestly.

"Good, we could use a medic on our side." Satan said brutally.

"Wait what?!" I yelled

"Shh. We were going to break out using Zee's remaining favours but u came so we had to watch out for you and make sure we could trust you. We were going to find out today if you were one of us or one of dad's mind washed slaves. If we could, you were going to come with us if we couldn't, we would kill you." Poppy explained I glared at them but slowly calmed down. They were trained not to trust people I reminded myself. Remember when I first came and trusted them with my life? Will after the first few spy lessons, I started to stop trusting them a little remembering that they were trained to kill. This place has turned me into a freaking killing machine...

"Don't be mad bad luck. Please don't be mad." Heartless said sounding upset.

"No I'm not mad just a little you know upset but I understand why." I said sounding betrayed but sincere.

"Okay. Thank god. We were hoping you would forgive us or we would end up dead or worse." Poppy said sounding relieved. Her coppery curls were all over the place and her emerald eyes were bright and filled with excitement and glee.

"Yup, you don't know how scared we were that you would try and kill or poison us." Satan said bluntly which seriously offended me.

"Hey, just because I intoxicated Jared and Jarl when they hit on Brainless Brianna does not mean I would intoxicate or kill you guys without a second thought." I shot at Satan.

"Wait, so it was you who gave them a poison to make them puke their guts out?" Jailbait demanded sounding impressed while everyone was looking at me in awe.

"Yeah, you guys didn't know?" I asked shocked. They shook their heads. How could they not know?! Wasn't it obvious?

"Whatever. We have the plan ready. It's pretty simple. All that's gonna happen is we have to pack our bags with everything necessary and go to the jets. Mabel will cause a major distraction by blowing something up. During that period of time no one will be guarding the jets or hear us take off." Zee explained. We nodded our heads and went to our huts. We lit small fires near the doors and windows s so the smoke from the fire could repel the insects.

"Zee?" I asked

"Hmm?" was her grouchy reply.

"Where are we going to go after we escape?" I asked.

"We are going to go to Joanna's aunt. Her name is Iris. She hates dad and loves her twin sister very much. Dad killed her and Iris knows it but she doesn't know why. Joanna deserves to know her family. Iris will also take care of us until we leave her house for another safe place. Then, we can go visit our families and meet each others family members go to college, get jobs, live together, live the lives we wanted." Zee answered drowsily.

"Will Joey live with Iris?" I asked.

"If she wants to." Zee replied patiently

"Why does dad only take females and not males?" I asked. The question had been nagging me conscience but i had never asked.

"Because we're big on personal hygiene, we're smarter, no one suspects girls that much any more, we're better actors, we are usually more family orientated so if we get a new sister we're less likely to kill her, when taught properly we're deadly, we're quick to learn and so less likely to try and escape or kill dad and most of the members of the mafia are males so we can easily seduce and kill them. Etcetera." Zee replied sleepily.

"Oh that explains a lot. Thanks Zee. Night." I mumbled.

"Night brook..." she mumbled something else but I didn't catch it.

~~~~Next day ^^ ~~~~

We dedicated half of the day finding creepy crawlies to put in the sluts or people who pissed us off beds. We had a python, tree snakes, a couple of rats, tarantulas and possums. I already pitied Jared and Jarl.

We hiked back and Zee kept telling us to pick up the pace and didn't want us to rest for more than 5 seconds. I couldn't blame her. After all, Zee would be Zee, and Zee hated this place so it's understandable she wanted to get outta here as quickly as possible. When we got out of the jungle we were however met with a very bad surprise.

Dad.

"Hello girls. How was your hike?" He asked sounding very fake.

"Hiya dad, it was okay. Someone kept whining on the way to the camping grounds and harassing us to pick up the pace on the way back." I said cheerfully or sounding like a fake blonde bimbo. You know the type you always see on TV. Head cheerleader. Boyfriend is captain of the football team. Slept with every guy in school. Cheats on her boyfriend. Total bitch. Overly possessive. You get my point. While looking at Zee.

"Hey not my fault I hate camping. I mean come on. Look at my hair." She defended herself. We all did. In fact we spent all day looking at it. It looked messy and like something had slept in it. And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

"It looks like it..." Satan started but Zee cut her of.

"I get your point. But that's why I hate camping here. SHOTGUN ON THE SHOWER!" she explained before yelling.

"What?! No way. I call shower I started pmsing and I need the pads and tampons!" Satan yelled. Dad looked panicked when Satan mentioned our...erm...femine needs and the supplies we used when our femine needs happened. Apparently it was true, talking about girl stuff made men run for the hills. No wonder Satan's box of weapons had the words 'Femine Supplies' on it in big, bright red letters.

"Oh, I won't hold you girls up. I just wanted to congratulate our newest member for topping her class for the past few months." Dad said sincerely sounding genuinely proud before walking of. We walked of until we were out of ear shot before Zee started cussing in French. I never knew that the French had more cuss words than the English. Interesting...

"The liar." I said. Dad would never congratulate any of us unless he wanted me to feel better than the rest and love him more. Yeah right. That's going to work on me.

"Yeah so true sis." Jailbait said while glaring at the camera.

"Damn you to hell and back dad!" Satan yelled while pointing a particular finger at the camera.

"Satan, don't you dare do that again!" Zee yelled at her trying and failing to look serious. Her giggling and playfully shoving Satan didn't make her seem any more serious. We walked back to the apartment laughing and giggling like freaks.

It was then I realised I finally felt like I belonged with them and loved them. I knew that it would take a lot of pain for me to betray or intentionally harm them. I knew they were my sisters and I finally felt like they were actually related to me, not just extra close friends, but part of me. If the plan failed I was going to stand with them against Dad and my other sisters and face our punishment and possible death.

"Tomorrow night we take a jet and leave." Zee said softly in the hallway just loud enough for us to hear. It was apparently loud enough for some one else to hear. We went into our apartment and began fighting for one of the four showers. Particularly the master bedrooms one.
