Coral Lake

Chapter Seven Part One

Stacy woke up all new and refreshed she knew a good night sleep would do her good, she did not have any nightmares of her mother, her mind was relaxed for the first time in over a year and this really did ease her conscious, it also let her awoken a more energised part of her.  Stacy lifted herself up raising her arms in the air as she stretched sighing in relief as she cracker her back, two minutes later she was out of bed and went to the bathroom she didn't hear Stephanie which was thankful she didn't want to see her yet not after last night. Stephanie was just not herself, yes Stacy knew she did wrong she shouldn't have gone into her bedroom and started snooping but she was worried. Stephanie was acting strange, for over a year she was worrying Stacy, her grief was destroying her internally so when Stacy saw that she was moving around this made her smile but even then she knew something was not right. She needed to know what was getting Stephanie to become at least some what human.  Stacy did not believe a word that came out of Stephanie's mouth, no way did Stephanie believe the murder of their mother she always said it was a stupid idea, that it was an accident so why would she suddenly change her mind now. Stacy was now in the shower washing away her running mind, she needed at least a moment of peace so she just stood there feeling the warm water hit her smooth skin as she closed her eyes enjoying the moment of not being able to worry about anything. 

After half an hour Stacy was out the shower, dried and in her long pink dressing gown sitting in the bedroom with one of Stephanie's newspapers reading the murder of a family that  only had on survivor who was the one and only Roger the now owner of Coral Lake "Poor guy thought they left him" her sympathy was definitely with him, Roger told them that he woke up one morning all bags packed and alone, he also told them that he knew there was problems, that his wife was becoming distant, he knew that she was never cheating on him, kept saying that someone had done this to him. As she read more of the paper she found out that his son was named Rubin and his wife was called Margery, both of them had dark hair and dark coloured eyes, both beautiful. Roger was very lucky at the time but now he lost all his luck, he was alone and never left his house she assumed as not once has she ever seen him before but reading more and more she found out where he lived and it wasn't far from where she was staying in their mums cabin, that was it Stacy knew what she was going to do today, see Roger and try to gain some light on what she needed to know desperately.

An hour later Stacy was down the stairs all alone with a warm black coffee in her hands waiting for her sister, she was in some leggings and a white top with very cute teddy bear on the front, she didn't put as much effort in her appearance as she usually would but today's she didn't care the only thing on her mind was seeing the owner of coral lake to gets some answers on what is going on in this lake, "Morning Stacy" Stephanie was standing by the stairs with her dressing gown wrapped around her, she was giving her best puppy eyes on her sister, Stacy knew she felt guilty about what happened between them and so did her "Hey sis, look I'm sorry about going in your room I was just..." Stephanie interrupted her by quickly saying "I know you was worried about me. I guess I have been a bit crazy" her voice was slow and very quiet that Stacy could hardly hear her which was when she saw her arm wrapped In a bandage, Stacy glared at her sister's arm. "What's happened to your arm?" Stephanie stared for a while before she said anything at all her eyes started to look at the floor as she spoke "I uh fell over and scrapped my arms on the wood" she looked up and smiled, Stacy could see the lies it was all in her gaze, was sliced through her words. Her hands went to her hip like a mother figure and she glared for a little moment as Stephanie shrugged her shoulders "You are lying to me Steph just tell me what happened" she tried to calm the anger in her voice so she didn't seem to snap but it didn't work, her voice became louder than she wanted, "I'm not lying" Stephanie snapped as she walked towards the kitchen not looking at her sister once, "I know when you're lying Stephanie and right now you're lying. Why can't you tell me?" Stephanie turned quickly and gave a sharp look at her sister before she said the cruel words that came out of her mouth "Because you're not mum" as soon as she said it Stacy's eyes filled with water as she stared at her sister with upset and grief. Stacy turned on her heel and grabbed her coat but first she stood at their door not looking at her sister at all "Don't tell me then but listen hear I don't want you to talk to me again until you sort your head out Stephanie" tears flooded Stacy's face and her voice became croaked where she could hardly speak. "I'm sorry" Stephanie was now behind Stacy, she could feel hear Stephanie voice croak when she spoke again "I am really sorry" She  knew she was crying too but she could not back down, it hurt her when she wouldn't tell her what she had done, worse that she lied to her and heart breaking that she used mum in an argument that was enough for her not to say anything at all and just go to see the owner of coral lake, she walked out the doors not even bothering to say goodbye, she left her sister alone in the cabin there mother died.
