Star crossed | Agatha all along

004| Crazy old broad

The bell dinged as the trio entered the psychic's shop, an old looking woman appearing to greet them.

"Welcome to the curious."

The woman welcomed them, as Agatha hid the eviction notice she had taken off the woman's door. The woman had tight grey curls and wore a dark red dress with what looked like a robe over it.

"Good day, madam."

Agatha began, putting on a fake southern accent, Valentina doing everything in her power not to laugh in that moment.

"What is she doing?"

Nicholas asked Valentina who slightly shrugged her shoulders, she didn't want to alert anyone that she was talking to someone who they couldn't see.

"Oh. Thank you so much for seein' us. We are hopin' for a miracle today."

Agatha went on, Teen looking at her confused while Valentina was trying not to laugh at her mother.

"This is my girl, Tallulah. And my boy, Beauford."

Valentina had to try extremely hard to stifle a laugh as her mother introduced her as Tallulah, as the woman started to move towards them.

"I think it's finally happened. Mum's lost her marbles."

Nicholas told his sister, making it extra hard for her not to laugh in that moment, biting down on her lip as she nodded at her brother, he was right it seemed their mother had finally lost her marbles.

"He doesn't talk much. He's got social anxiety."

Agatha said as she put her hand over the boy's mouth, teen wanted to say something but Agatha didn't know if the boy could fake a southern accent.

"Their daddy recently passed, and we miss him somethin' awful. And we surely would love to commune with him today. But to be quite frank with you, um, what is top of mind is the location of some gold bars he may or may not have buried in our backyard."

Agatha told the woman, Teen looking at Agatha as if she were crazy, Nicholas giving his mother a similar look.

"Where did she even come up with this story?"

Nicholas asked his sister who just shrugged her shoulders subtly again, she had no clue where her had come up with the story.

"Please. Would you like me to get an extra chair?"

The woman asked after gesturing over at the table, which only had two chairs on one side. Oh brother, was what Valentina thought to herself before also putting on a fake southern accent to answer the woman.

"No. I'm fine standing, but thank you ma'am."

Valentina cringed at herself as she heard how she sounded, the woman nodded before going to sit at the table with teen and Agatha. Valentina could hear her brother erupt into laughter as Valentina did the accent.

"You sounded ridiculous."

The boy said as he doubled over in laughter, Valentina quickly checking to see if the woman was looking at her before sending a glare over to her brother, who was still laughing.

"How will you be paying?"

The woman asked as she sat down, Valentina rolled her eyes, of course the woman cared about how she was getting paid, she obviously needed the money.

"Oh."

Agatha said as she realised neither her or Valentina had money on them, she was going to have to make Teen pay.

"He's got it."

Agatha said still with the southern accent that almost made Valentina laugh every time.
