Nightshade #1

Ch.1 Granny?? (Liana)

It was 10:00 am when the car exploded. I was in the back seat leaning my head against the window. A song blasted in my headphones filling me with peace. My twin sister Tiana sat beside me with her head leaned back and mouth gaping.

I say we're twins which in fact we are ,but we look nothing alike. My hair is bleach blonde and pin straight. I was way taller than the average girl with a lean body and bright blusih grey eyes. I'm not lazy and love all kinds of sports.

Tiana on the other hand is a short bombshell. Curves accentuated every part of her. She took pride in her little waist and nice hips. She was a nice toasty tan color with emerald green eyes that changed hazel when she became angry or sad. In the past she had anger issues and was always fighting at school ,but she has found ways to keep more control on her emotions. But dont let her fiery personality fool you she is a nerd at heart. She can beat anyone in any video game. Its weird because all of her nerdy guy friends fall in love with her. I giggled thinking back to the time when her friend Tommy sang to her in front of the whole school. A normal person would have been mortified and embarrassed, but not my sister. She clapped and smiled saying it was the sweetest thing ever. Thats another thing about her. She may be a nerd but because of how open her personality is she becomes friends with everyone.

Ya damn straight. Tiana said inside my head.

I was used to this. Ever since I can remember we have been able to to talk telekinetically. No matter where we we're or what we we're doing we could always talk to each other.

And ever since I can remember I have been losing sleep because of how loud your thoughts are.

Shut up. I retorted

The car started to slow down and I realized we we're parking. We were stopping at a rest stop. Tiana and I jumped out of the car and raced to the vending machines.

Of course I won.

Shut up. The only reason you won is because I just woke up. Tiana whined

Whatever you tell yourself to help you sleep at night.

I typed in a number for a candy bar and as it dropped down I seen something out of the corner of my eye.

A man leaned against a wall a few feet away from us. He was tall and skinny. His shoulders we're kind of hunched and he wore a worn out burgendy fadora. His hands we're covered by gloves and he had a pair of eerie yellow eyes with catlike pupils that sent chills down my spine. His mouth turned up in a half smile showing a row of fangs. As I gasped Tiana slid my candy bar into my hand making me turn my attention away from the man.

You OK?

I sent her the image of him and her face contorted in disgust. We turned back to see if he was there but of course he wasn't.

"Why do you girls always have to run. I'm getting old and you both left me behind." My moms voice distracted my thoughts of the creepy man.

My mom and I looked just alike. Same tallness, same blonde hair ,and same color eyes. She was really beautiful. I sometimes felt bad for her because she was on her own. My dad had left  before Tiana and I were even born. We had no pictures to look at of our dad. But I knew Tiana must have looked just like him with her head of thick black curls.

"You're not old mom just...seasoned." Tiana said smiling.

"Yeah sure whatever." My mom laughed.

About a few months ago we we're living in gorgeous Miami Florida. School got out for Thanksgiving break  and mom dropped a huge bombshell on us. We were moving to Nightshade Tennessee. She said that we had a grandma there and she wanted to reunite with her family. Tiana and I had never met this mysterious grandma and Mom had never said anything until now. Tiana of course got suspicious and searched Nightshade Tennessee up and of course no results.
