Getting closer to the house I decided to walk around, scoping the house out before deciding how to get in. Yawning I blink my watery eyes away and limp to the tall gate in the back of the house. Finding a loose screw in the tall good gate I unscrew it using pliers and take the wood off to find a metal gate behind? "What the hell," I say rolling my eyes "Whatever whatever," I say to myself as I take off another wooden gate piece and put it to the side. "god who did this dumb shit makes it so complicated," I say with a scoff, as I take out some small pliers and putting a small hole in the metal gate so that I can fit through.
"Finally I'm fucking tired," I say pushing my bag through and then climbing through it. Looking up momentarily I'm blinded by a big light sinning in my face. "Fuck" I say defeated as I see a figure's hand descend toward me pulling my body up by my arm and leaving me on my tippy toes as I try to ground myself. "Joder suéltame [fuck let me go]" I yell trying to wiggle my body out of large rough hands "Who told you to destroy my gate you little pest" I hear a deep gruff voice say "I'm no pest puta [bitch] and it would've been destroyed soon enough it's loose as shit if it wasn't me it would've been someone else if not a fucking zombie that managed to smash its way through," I say wiggling my foot as I try to ease his grip. Him being angered he starts to thrash me around but stops as we hear what I can tell is a feminine voice "Honey stop it the girl had enough"
"Yes 'honey stop it'" I say in a mocking tone as I glare at him scoffing
"CULOTE [ASSHOLE]" I yell as he throws me to the ground. Getting up I rub my leg looking up as the lady sends glances my way
Sucking my teeth I say "fucking asshole" with a roll of my eyes.
Coming out of shock and focusing I remember my bag and immediately scramble and grab it "Honey are you ok" I hear the lady say, with a snap I look up
"Yeah I'm fine," I say putting the bag back on "Would you like to stay with us for the night darling" she says bending over and making her at my eye level
"Stay the night for what," I say standing up straighter "So that you can maybe take a shower, and get a nice change of clothes," she says reaching for my clothes, to which I flinch back, making her send a surprised look my way
"Oh dear that looks bad," she says referring to my leg as she crouches down lower.
I glanced down at my leg and realized how bad it looked, my pants were ripped and bloody, and my white shoes were now a mix of red and black from dirt. "I'm fine I stitched it up it ain't as bad as it looks," I say in a gruff tone as I pull my leg back. "Well honey you can stay with us for a night or two, so you can get cleaned up, a good meal in you, and hopefully decent sleep," she says looking at me with sympathy.
"Yeah sure lady," I say, and at that, she smiles her whole face beaming but it's off. Something's off like it's a mask her smile is just a little malicious, and if I trusted them before, I don't now. "We have two daughters about your age so they should have a few clothes that fit you," she says to which I just make a noise of understanding my head hung low as I think.
"Alright pumpkin come along," she says halfway towards the house, me not even realizing she moved. "Alright I'll stay for a night or two," I say walking toward the house slowly calculating steps as I think about what they can get out of me staying here for a night or two. "There nothing" I slip and say out loud making the lady turn.
"What was that honey" she says to which I answer "Nothing." "hm ok well here we are," she says as we walk into the farm-style house. The inside is modern style decorated, having lots of whites and blacks. The colors surprisingly not getting boring even with the number of times they are used in one little room.
Looking around I take my surroundings in making sure to memorize all I can see of the first floor Looking at family photos I see 4 people the man and woman I've met with an addition of 2 girls almost identical to each other "So where are your daughters" I ask slowly, dragging off each word while pursing my lips.
"Um, one upstairs the other," she says trailing off on the last word like she has to think. "The other where?" I ask trying to get an answer out of her "She's away right now" she says glancing behind me at the stairs. "Oh ok," I say settling for now definitely checking that out can't be too careful I think as I follow behind the lady still
"Mom" I hear coming from the stairs so I turn and I'm struck when I see a girl who looks nothing like the lady or the man for that matter. "Hm," I say furrowing my eyebrows as I tilt my head "Hmm," I say again nodding she sure has grown a lot since that picture, it does her no justice
I giggle out loud
"What the hell Mom again," the girl says furrowing her eyebrows and looking at me sympathetically
"Violeta language!" her mom shoots back "I can't believe you, you're a liar you said it was a one-time thing and then it happened again and again and I ignored it, I won't stand for it this time," she says with a huff before turning and disappearing up the stairs to I would guess her room. Suspicious definitely not letting my guard down I think as I look around more.
