Sirens

Chapter 6 An ordinary day: part 2

   My mother just got home so finally my "baby sitters" got to leave. Yes! However I would rather have them here then my mom. She still doesn't trust that I want to be evil, of course I don't, but I can't believe she doesn't trust me! Ok, I can. But still she's my mom. She should trust me. You know? Why am I talking to myself again! I've been doing that a lot lately. I'm so nervous about tomorrow. I think my mother is starting to take notice. "Thalia dear, what's the matter with you? You're acting stranger than usual." My mom asked. "I'm fine mom really. I'm just nervous for tomorrow. Because of the transformation and what not" I replied. Basically after that she told me I had nothing to worry about and everything would be fine. Easy for her to say. She's not plotting a plan to escape. Then she just kept going on about what I should eat or rather who I should eat tomorrow. I stopped paying attention until she said Lucas's name. "Do you still have feelings for what's his name?...Lucas? Because I think he would be perfect!!" She exclaimed. "No no no! I mean of course I don't have feelings for him mom...but he's popular, yeah. So everyone will notice if he's gone. We have to pick someone nobody will miss. So you know...we can stay under the radar." I replied trying not to sound so suspicious. "Omg you're right! What was I thinking! When did you get so smart my dear!?" "I've always been smart mom, it's only now that my smartness came in handy." She smiled and then kissed me on the forehead like she used to do when I was little. Like I said I know she loves me, but she won't love me if I don't become like her. I'm so confused!! Should I go along with my plan or just give in to being evil! Why does my life have to be so complicated? Sweet 16s are supposed to be fun! Not...I don't know, crazy and full of man eating women! And transforming into a monster! Why can't I be a normal 16 year old like Sarah. Okay Thalia calm down. You can do this. Just stick to the plan and everything will be alright. Awwwwww! And stop talking to yourself! You're acting crazy! 12:00 am. Sleep. Need sleep...
