Dancer in Disguise (The Pack FF)

The Innocent Laughs are Gone

Hey my disguisers! Guys, I am honestly so sorry about the lack of updates. I gained over 7,000 reads when I was gone, meaning I got 20,000. That is so insane but I just lost inspiration. I am going to sound like a jerk but reads don't matter to me. So even if my story triples in reads, I need inspiration to write. I was in New York. I will hopefully be updating more frequently. Thank you so much for 26,500 reads! This is so crazy!!!!! Guys, I can't believe we got 20k! This is too amazing to be true!!! I have always looked at other books and thought, Wow, I wish I could get that amount of reads. NOW WE ARE HERE! Thank you so much for going on this wild journey with me. School is starting again. D: Ok, on with the story! Remember, this story is about Audrey. I might end this book today... Love ya long time. Enjoy!

I ran with all my might until I reached my house. I sat down on the couch and observed the television channel. Lizzie, my sister, was watching. I heard a loud ring at the door, I could tell the figure was Choco. I walked over to the door while my sister sat on the couch. I turned to face her. "Listen, I want you to be safe. Choco is safe for now but just in case, I want you to go to your room and lock the door. When you hear my voice saying that it is ok to come out you can leave." I looked at my sister with nervous eyes. She nodded and groaned as she got up as she rushed over to her room. I opened the door, I hugged Choco as I saw a shadow of a mysterious figure behind him, a girl. The main characteristics I was able to point out was her extremely tan skin, her bold brown eyes and her long hazel braided hair. As Choco moved to the side the figure was visible, it was one of my old best friends, Adonia. A smiled spread across her face as she saw me. She slowly walked over to me as she engulfed me in a warm hug. She looked similar to how she looked three years ago. I missed her bright smile and her nice laugh that filled your stomach with a warmth not even a cold winter cup of chocolate could reproduce. Choco just stood behind us, understanding that we were friends. We finally pulled apart as Choco let out a breath of relief.

"I thought you two would hug forever." Choco teasingly said. I pushed him playfully as I motioned them inside.

"Adonia, I missed you so much. I didn't know you were Choco's sister." I said as I assumed it was her. Knowing that Choco only had one sister. We sat on the couches as I propped my legs up and looked over at the two. My phone began to ring with my Riptide ringtone. Adonia looked at me with a smile on her face, this was our song. We would always dance to it as kids, I haven't seen her in so long that I almost forgot. The caller hung up after my phone rang two times, suspicious. She smiled at me as she realized how much I truly missed her, I put that song as my ringtone after she left. She encouraged me to make a mysterious video of me dancing to the song for Youtube, that is how the mystery video was made. I don't know how the hacker got access and sent it to dozens of schools. I wish I had known who did it, I wouldn't know whether to thank or hate the person.

"It is your ringtone? You have no idea how much I missed you." She pulled out Choco's phone and called her own. I heard the luminous song play again, Riptide was her ringtone. She grinned at my reaction, I was shocked. I guess she missed me too. Choco interrupted our moment, "I'll let you two talk. I'll pick up Adonia in 3 hours." He left and Adonia and I began to talk again. "Adonia, you know the video we made, of me dancing? It was sent to hundreds of colleges. Only you and me had access to the video so someone hacked into my account. I don't know who." The words scattered across the room into the little crevasses, as if hiding from the truth. "I know, your-r emotions." She flashed a quick smile with a reply. We talked and talked until I felt as if my tongue was about to fall off. Someone knocked on the front door and I opened it. With a loud shriek I could hear Adonia run up behind me. It was Lachlan, holding a knife. "Lachlan, what are doing here." I asked with my voice failing me at the end of the last word.

"Where is he? Audrey, I f*cking trusted you. (I would rather not curse but it fits the situation so on with the story.)" Lachlan stormed up the stairs of my house. "Lachlan no." I yelled at the top of my lungs, feeling like serpents were crawling down my throat. I ran into the hallway and saw Lachlan. Lizzie opened the old wooden door. Her hand touched the cracked gray paint along our walls. "Lizzie, back away. Right now." I said words crumpling out of my throat. "I'm sure she knew too, that you were cheating on me with Preston?" Lachlan yelled, his hair shacking out of anger. "Audrey what is happening?" Lizzie asked with a scared expression. "I'm sure she did know." Lachlan said. The shine of the knife blurred my vision momentarily as I yelled. "She didn't have anything to do with it. I didn't cheat on you." I yelled. My throat closed up, a series of yells were heard. Lizzie's face filled with terror as Lachlan approached her. I walked in slow motion as my innocent sister, had a knife dug into her youthful skin. The pain I felt was unbearable, as though the same knife had dug into my heart.  A week before her thirteenth birthday, my sister was going to be killed. She was going to have a star party, she had always wanted to be an astronomer. "Lachlan how could you?" I yelled not caring if I lost my voice forever. I ran over to my sister and clucked her small hand. She was gasping for air as blood streamed out of my dying sister's skin.

"Lizzie how are you doing? Are you ok? You have to be ok," all of my sanity my tears streaming down my face as my hand was shaking. "Don't cry Audrey," Lizzie tried to stroke my head as she coaxed me but she let out a tell of pain. "Make sure to put pink roses on my grave, I loved that color, it was going to be my prom dress color. Invite my seventh grade class to my funeral please. At least I don't have to see my life flash in front of my eyes right? Since I never triply had one. It is fine, prom is silly anyways. But know that I love you. I always will. I will never get to start the Youtube channel I wanted to. But you did, that is all that matters. I will never have wrinkles or children. Stay safe, and do your best." She smiled. At this moment she became 10 times wiser, she was only twelve. I smiled through my tears and stroked her arm. Her arm had little bumps, karatosis pilaris. A common disease most children get. It wares away in the teenage years. I looked into her eyes one last time, knowing her disease would never ware away, she wouldn't life to be a teenager. She would never change this world. She would be a line in a news paper, a face printed on a memorial, and a thought imprinted in my head for the rest of time. She closed her eyes with a smile imprinted on her face one last time. I hugged her, her weak heart beat in rythm with my breaths. Her heart beat stopped, and I wished it would be in rythm with my heart. I couldn't live anymore. I let out loud sighs. I clung tightly to her arms, her small torso was in my hands.  I looked at her, she didn't want to get into trouble. Lachlan would have never even knew her if it wasn't for me. I looked at her, our heart beats would never be in synchronization again. I stroked her soft hair in my shaking head. She wanted to get into MIT. She never will, she will never be remembered by anyone but me and her friends. My eyes shifted everywhere as my senses weakened. Next week was going to be her birthday party, but there won't be one. There will be her funeral.
