Beware of the House (The unedited version)

Chapter 8 - Romeo and Julliet

"Max!!!" Jeylen screamed in his girly voice.

"Wait what? What did I miss?" I asked. Where is Max and why is Jeylen calling him?

"MAAAAX! Come back Maxy, I love you, I do t want you to die!" Jeylen cried.

"Max is dead," taka informed me, so I did miss out...

"Don't remind me," Jeylen said angrily, before crying even more screaming "WHY!"

Jeylen grabbed one of the knives, which were placed on the table where they always are and are quite sharp since they were made to cut steak, flesh and other tough stuff and was about to stab it in his heart but I stopped him. I couldn't help it, I don't want to watch Romeo and Juliet or Romeo and Romeo live, the play was bad enough.

"I wanna die! I can't live without him!" Jeylen screamed when I took the knife off him. "Why, why did you save me? I'm GAY in case you haven't noticed, everyone HATES people who are gay."

I rolled my eyes, "Honey, I only saved you because I don't want to watch Romeo and Juliet live."

"You reckon we're like Romeo and Juliet? I'm Juliet by the way," he said through sobs and sniffs, with a slight smile.

"I'm not crazy," he yelled to everyone, still sobbing and sniffing, he turned to me and whispered so only I could hear, "Thanks."

I was about to hop in bed when the door burst open.

"How could you?" Tanika snapped. "My, I mean OUR plan, is ruined. He would've killed himself but NO, you had to stop him. Now, instead of listening to giggles and snoring every night, I get screaming and crying. I hate you." She walked off mumbling something like; 'and to think that I could trust a stupid, ugly goblin.'

How does she know I saved him? Taka must of told her. And, as if on cue, taka burst into the room saying a mixture of sorry's and I-didn't-mean-to's and she-made-me's. it was all a big jumble of words that I couldn't comprehend at this time of the day.

"Slow, down," I said slowly and calmly.

"Okay, but, I just, I'm SO SORRY! Tanika hates you now and-and-" she said talking way to fast. All I understood was 'so sorry'.

"Please, slower." I said. I'm getting impatient now.

"Ok," she started slowly. "When I got back to my room, I was getting ready when Tanika burst in the room. She threw a bunch of questions and threats at me and I finally gave in. Lastly, I'm REALLY sorry." This time she kept a slow even pace, and talked lower than before.

"Thank you, you are forgiven as well. If Tanika really wants to be my friend she would also forgive me because Jeylen will probably commit suicide by December."

"I agree-" Taka started saying but stopped when the door burst open.

"THANKYOU!!!" Cleo screamed. "THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!"

"For what?" I asked after she stopped screaming.

"For killing Max, Jeylen will kill himself soon as well, my bet is by next week," she said lowering her voice so nobody else could hear.

"Why do you want them to die?" Taka asked curiously.

"It's all their fault," she said drifting off into thought.

"What did they do?" I asked curiously.

She snapped back into reality, "My sister..." She said but drifted off again. She looked really sad, her fringe was covering her eyes, going nearly to the bottom of her nose.
