Eyes and Ears

Emma

I push my mothers away and get out of the door. I DON'T WANT THEM HERE. I see Austin walking away and I catch up to him.

"You can't tell people there's a serial killer!" I say.

"Why? Are you the killer?" He says.

"No..." I say, "It's just... people will get scared since all the murders so far were at the Celibacy Mansion! I need to be valedictorian, president, and just the best! You know how much a killer could mess that up?"

"You're disgusting." He says.

"I JUST WANT FAME!"

He walks away, off to tell people about the serial killer. However, just behind him, it's the tiger.

"AUSTIN!" I scream.

"Ignoring you!" He says.

I run up to the tiger and jump on him piggy back style. We both fall to the ground and I get up. I see the knife in his pocket. I kick it away. He gets back up and I see a sword in his hand. I scream. He swings his sword but I jump out of the way. I grab my stiletto and hit the tiger in the head. Austin hears our battle and walks up to us.

"Kill Him!" I yell.

Austin grabs the knife and stabs the tiger in the chest. I fall into his arms.

"Thank you so-"

"You're still a bitch." He says as he pushes me away.

"So what do we do with this tiger?"

"See who's in it."

The tiger takes the knife out of chest and throws it away. No blood. I start to run away and Austin does too. I run towards the celibacy mansion while he runs back to his place.

"I'll call you later?" I ask.

He gives me the finger. I gasp and walk back home.

"...I love you!" I try to say.

I walk back home, bewildered by the thought hat someone doesn't think I'm attractive. I'm the total package! I push open the doors and order the Emmas to come here.

"Emma's!" I yell.

Emma #3 and Emma #4 walk downstairs.

"Where's Emma #2?" I ask.

"She left." Emma #3 says, "got a nervous breakdown or something."

"Great." I say, "Go find her!"

"What?" Emma #4 says.

"Go find her!" I repeat.

"Shouldn't you be finding her replacement?"

"No! I need her for my GPA!"

"OK." Both Emma's say.

Emma #3 and #4 run out of the house, I get to spend time with the new members. Four right now... and Alex. The door opens, speak of the devil.

"I didn't know you wanted to come back." I say.

"Well I do. And I know you don't want any members, so here's what we'll do."

I guide her to the mansion kitchen with Iliana, Gabe, Shreya and Esha.

"Go."

"We just need the sign up sheet inside the house and hold the new people out." she says.

"And how exactly?"

"Nail the doors, windows... basically everything."

"But that'll make my mansion look ugly!"
