Colors ~ Volume 1

Season 1, Episode 15: Two Minds Think Alike

I really couldn't believe that she would go through all of this trouble to find a ladder, we didn't even own a ladder ourselves so either she stole one or got it from her house, all because she wanted to talk to me.

Yet, I didn't want to talk to her for obvious reasons. I immediately slammed the window shut and headed back to bed. However, Veronica was persistent and banged on the window begging to be let in. I would've kept ignoring her but she was banging on the window so hard I was afraid of her shattering it. I sighed and got back up to the window. I opened the window and yelled,

"Shut the hell up! Why would I let you in after everything you've done to us huh!? Also, what in the world are you doing here?"

"I'm here because I have valuable information about a topic you're searching for!" She exclaimed.

"What topic!? Oh god, I knew it! You are a stalker aren't you?" As I said this, she held out a piece of paper towards the window. I stared at the face of the window and at the front of the page in bold letters stated,

"The Mystery of the Forgotten Souls."

"What's this?" I asked her, she looked at me earnestly and stated,

"It's what you've been looking for."

"I haven't been looking for anything! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to lock the window." I stated, proceeding to lock the window right on her face.

"Wait! Please, let's talk!" She exclaimed from the window. Which sounded like a muffle rather than anything else since she was behind a window.

"No, now can you leave me alone!? I can't even call the police without them being corrupted by your family so just go." I stated, lying down on my bed.

Between the window and my bed was just an open gap where my table would've been. If it wasn't for Coal a couple of nights ago breaking his old table because he was raging at his game—which we only had one game because of the Redwoods seizing most of the other one—Veronica could see me clearly and continued to bang on the window.

"I see you in there!" I heard her muffled voice. I was getting annoyed considering my family was probably hearing those bangs. I sighed and got up from my bed, walked over to the window, unlocked it, and opened it again.

"Veronica I'm about to beat you up. What do you want!? This piece of paper doesn't give me any answers!" I stated.

"Just trust me and—" I laughed at her face.

"AHAHAHA! Trust you!? After everything you've done to anyone you've ever interacted with? HA! No, I'm okay."

"Can you please just listen to me? I know what you've been researching and I want to help!"

"I, again, have no idea what you're talking about. And no reason to even talk to you. I just might close the window again."

"No don't! It's cold outside and I don't want to keep banging on your window. Just let me in!" She shouted.

"No."

"Please?"

"Nope."

"Pretty please? I have some info about that factory that'll be worth your time!"

"Nah I'm good." She grunted and picked up a rock from her pocket.

"I'll smash your window if you don't let me in."

"I'll call the police on yo—" I realized what I had said previously and stopped myself.

"Doesn't my family control the police here?" She asked me mockingly. I rubbed my eyes and groaned.
