Chapter 4

For the first time in a while, Lucy actually got in her brother's car. He was surprised as she was. Okay she was more freaking out than anything else really.

"Lu, what's wrong" he asked her really worried for his sister but starting up the car. It was nice one, honestly she didn't know what type of car she was in. All she knew it was blue and heck it would get her home faster.

"I need to talk to mom" she said softly looking out the window as Warren drove out of the parking lot following the other cars.

"Why do you need to talk to mom, she might be home light you know how her job is" he added and gave another worried look at his sister. Lucy shake her head and hugged her knees buckled up already and rolled widow down to closes her eyes. Sometimes this helped her when she felt like the world was ending or well having a panic attack.

"Lucy, what's wrong, it's me Warren your twin...we use to talk all the time" he mumbled and Lucy turn her head to look at him. She had tears in her eyes. Her eyes were red a puffy, she was crying for a while. She looked scared, really scared. You know the fear that you can see in someone's eyes? The Oh Crap moment when their eyes are wide with fear.

"You won't believe me" Lucy managed to say. It came out all quiet and weird. She wished she could stop crying. She hated crying, but who loved crying anyways?

So she told him, and when she told him. Warren at first thought she was mental. She seemed sad and maybe it was too much for her whatever it was she was going crazy. But she was his sister. he shouldn't think about her that way.

"Lucy, it's going to be okay, you'll be fine" he said to her not knowing really what to say. But Lucy felt far away when he told her this. She tried to tell him, what was really happening. Lucy was pretty sure the light wasn't coming back. She heard stories about it, light going away and Lucy was pretty sure those stories were real.

"You just going through something, you will be fine and it will be over before you know it" Warren said to her which was well didn't help. But they got home finally. Of course it was pouring rain but she didn't care as she ran inside. Her brother stayed in the car.

Lucy heard her mom in living room. Lucy ran in the living room and burst into tears not really seeing where her mom was. She felt someone pulled her into a hug. Lucy cried harder into her mom's shoulder as her mom tried to calm her down.

The great thing about finally telling someone who you trust and know for long time. Is that they can judge you and say something just awful but they care. They will listen and she did. Okay I didn't tell her everything but.... she said she could help.

"The light it's gone...and" Lucy tried to speak and took while but she managed to tell her mom what happen. What happen in the past days? It seemed easier telling her but she was scared to look at her mom. That she would react the same way her brother did.

"I didn't think about it but the light started to flicker and I thought. and I was so scared" Lucy rubbed her eyes. Her mom listening to her.

"I remember hearing stories about it. And the light kept getting dimmer. All sudden at school I got this overwhelming feeling than it was dark" tears in her eyes kept on going down her face faster.

"I'm scared mom what am I going to do" she whispered and was kind of shaky already.

But here she was sitting on the blue couch with her mom. she looked down at her pale hands. Man they were so pale, am I vampire she thought. That was random, she usually thought random but mostly turn to self-hate a lot recently. She could name things she hates about herself than list about how she loved things about herself. It would be challenge. She wished it was easier.
