Rusher (wattys2016)

Six

I threw open my front door to find my parents on the couch watching the evening news. My dads arm was around my mother in a nice protective way that made me sick and happy at the same time .
"Hey sweetie", said my mom as I shut the door.
"Hey , can we talk ? Both of you ? " I said quietly.
She patted the seat next to her motioning for me to come sit with them
I took the seat across from them instead.
"Is there anything I should know about ?" I wanted to test them to see if they'd tell before I had to ask.
" why do you ask? " my dad said shutting off his phone.
"I just wanna know"
"Hun bun , we wouldn't do anything if it wasn't for your best interest" my mom said putting her warm hand on my knee.

When I was little she would always be comforting , but honestly I was a fairly flawless child. My dad would always pay attention to my brother instead of me. I always felt like second place. With my mother I always felt like her first priority. She'd be there to talk through my moods during my "special years" , she was the best homework helper, a good accompany to binge watching the vampire diaries and pretty little liars. But best of all she had the most amazing sense of Style. She was honestly the older sister I never had , even though she was like Middle Age but whatever.
And that's why it hurt so much for me to hear her lie to me.
Someone that is thought was always was gonna tell me the truth,
Just told me the worst piece of crap I've ever heard.
I got up , shaking her hand off me knee.
"I think I'm gonna stay at Camille's tonight" I said as I avoided their gaze , I didn't want them to see the tears in my eyes. 
My father didn't even look up from his phone,  which was now turned on, to say "ok , have fun " . Which didn't even surprise me .
I headed to the door and just when l was about to open it my mother gently touched me shoulder. Turning me around.
I gazed at her for a while without saying anything.
"Honey are you okay?" She said
The tears came in
Damn it .
They ran down my face like Niagara Falls.
I pulled away and was relived to see Camille park in the drive way. I needed a hug.
I opened the car door and took my seat as she started to back out.
I forced myself not to look back at my mother because I knew she was crying too .

When we were far enough , Camille pulled over and pulled me into a huge hug.
" you okay? No wait of course your not" her grip became tighter when Niagara Falls rolled in again.
We stayed there silently for a while, until I pulled away. I wiped the tears from my eyes.
" I'm okay now let's go " I wanted to go to the academy drown myself in Carter thoughts. It would actually be my home for awhile.
"Okay sure" I could see her shoulder was wet from my tears as she started the engine.
"So , you probably inferred that I didn't speak to my parents because I was really afraid" she said focusing on the road.
"What's there to be afraid of ?"
"Everything , what if they locked me up on their basement for like a long time and stuff"
"You do realize there are lots of other possibilities, and you'd probably be able to get out of them faster than I can change after gym class"
"Yeah I don't know I guess it was to hard for me , and look at you, you can out looking like your eyes where Niagara Falls for something"
I imagined a cartoon bubble counting 10 best friend points right above her head.
" I said that simile in my head like a bunch of times before" we both laughed.
And then fear started.
We passed Camille's house and the little we're on. Her car was in the driveway too. The same exact car I was passing in right now.
Then Camille stepped out. Magic flying thorough the tips of her fingers to make her mother step back , and she definitely did.
That's when if hit me , if Camille was out there then who was I riding with.
I casually turned around to face the imposter,
"Hey can we get some food or something because I'm starving" I said perfectly timed with my stomach staring to growl.
" Yeah and now may be a good time to say I don't know the route to the academy " she smiled
Only Camille would know that we had to use the time jumper thingy to get back there.
"Here we'll switch then I said pushing open the car door"
Fortunately there was a stick on the ground at the moment where I needed it.
I pushed it behind my back and as she walked around I slammed it to her head. It was a pretty hard hit , I didn't expected her to get up but she did and grabbed my head and slammed it against the car.
Way harder than my stick hit her
I could feel the blood running through my head and out as I got up to see the dent I'd made.
She grabbed me again
"Your smarter then I thought Foe, too bad you have to pay for it" she said as she slammed me against the ground hard enough to break my spine and give me brain trauma.
That time I didn't get up , I'd let her win.
And that bothered me.
A lot.
That's when the sparks kicked in again. They flew thorough my fingers and hit her.
Hard.
Slamming her onto the concrete .
And that's when Carter came in and put a knife thorough her heart.
Her body was not Camille's anymore, if was a woman's .
Carter came over to me and without saying anything , picked me up. And put me in a not beat up Camille car.
Unfortunately in the back seat.
"Can you help me with it ?" He motioned to someone who looked like Camille. Oh wait it was her.
"Um I really don't want a dead body in my car" she said with her hands on her hips
"It not gonna be in there for long until we get to the academy" he urged
They pulled it into her trunk. Camille was stronger than she was gave off for . Even though she was prettier than she was smart.
My head hurt so much I didn't even wanna think.
They both went to the front seat and I could tell now that the focus was about to be on me .
" I've been waiting to try my healing magic " her hands in position.
"Remember to heal her not kill her even more , there not that much of a difference with newbies " he said smirking
"I'm just gonna ignore that" she said as the magic began spilling out the stops of her fingers.
After a few minutes , I felt a little better enough to speak. But I chose to sleep instead.
"I know that look " Camille said as we neared .
"What?"he turned
"You care about Foe , in a stalky way where you know a lot about her " she smiled
"I know only stuff I need to know"
"Her favorite color?"
" purple, common sense because most girls favorite color is purple"
"Favorite food?"
"Apple pie "
"Favorite pastime ?"
"Reading or writing" he smiled
I blushed , they didn't know I was awake.
"Just take care of her okay" Camille was definitely bumped up to the older sister I never had .
"Where are we headed?" I must have caught them off guard because they hesitated in answering me.
"Your house " Camille answered.
I should have guessed since we we're passing it.
"Wait what?"
"Don't worry you'll just be in your room, you won't have to talk to your parents"
"Okay I guess"
"You'll go with Carter to make sure your stable and I'll head back to my house to pick up things"
"Not to be rude or anything but I can handle myself"
"Didn't  seem like you could back there" Carter chimed in
Now that made me get up.
"I slammed a stick to her head , all you did was finish my amazing job by the way , no need to be jealous"
Carter was almost laughing , and I've never actually seen him smile if it wasn't for something insulting.
"A thank you would suffice "
" don't push it" I said firmly
He opened the car door and just as I put my hand in the latch and opened my door too.
