The Grey Siblings

Chapter 2

"Dad?"Alice frowned when she saw what had happened in the room.

Books were scattered on the floor,cabinets were opened and the half broken bookcase were laying horizontally on the floor.The whole room was a mess.Knowing that dad was a well-organised person,this was definitely not his doing.

"Dad?"she shouted again towards the studyroom.She bursted out sobbing when she saw the body.He was lying dead on the floor with blood.Lots of blood.Alice had sobbed loudly and the tears had collide with the puddle of blood on the floor.

"Don't just stand there,do something!"
She yelled out to her brother who was shocked by the scene.Her vision was blurred by the gushing tears.She had found her phone,trying to call the police.Just then,

'Thud'

Alice's P.O.V.

I squinted my eyes trying to get use to the bright sun shining through the windows.I had fell onto the floor after having a flashback.I groaned while massaging my head.

"Honey?You alright?"

"Yeah."I guess it was really loud as my brother banged into my room.

"Didn't your parents teach you manners?"I mocked him.

He was stunned at first and started laughing like crazy till he was rolling on the floor hugging his stomach.

"I heard that Alice."my mom shouted from downstairs."Sorry mom."

Finally,Edmund stood up and stopped laughing.He wiped his tear from laughing too much and told me to go down and eat.

After changing,I went down to eat my breakfast.

"Someone's early today."my mom chuckled.

I glanced at the clock.Not my fault I had to get my head banged on the floor.

"It's a Saturday idiot."he yawned.

"So?"

"You woke me up stupid."

"Now there,how 'bout some nice hot pancakes with some orange juice?"she said delightly with a wink.

"Please don't burn the kitchen mom.."I whined.Ain't nobody wants to clean the mess later and I end up doing it.I sighed imagining a burned kitchen.I can't blame her.Dad was the one in charge in the kitchen last time.

"Cereal it is then."she said brightly.

Without a word,she took the cereal box out.Edmund got the milk and the bowls while I sat at the island.

I took out my phone to check my messages and social media while waiting for him to squeeze the orange juice out and mom to wash the blueberries.What can I say,we loved fruits.

Suddenly,the doorbell rung."Alice go get the door."

I whined."Why is it always me?"he shrugged."You have nothing to do."

I stood up lazily and went to answer the door just to see Eli standing there.

Eli gave me a big smile."Hey Alice."

"Hi.Come on in."I opened the door wider.Eli stayed just next door so he usually comes over for breakfast when Mr. and Mrs.Lynch was out of town.

"Oh hi there Eli.Come on in,I'll make you breakfast."my mom warmly welcomed him.

"Thanks Mrs.Grey but I came here to see Edmund."he politely rejected the offer.

Wait what?He never turns down food.

"Me?"Edmund was in shocked just like me and spitted his cereal all over the place.

"Do you have another person named Edmund in here?"

"I suppose not.Edmund you can go with Eli.I'll clean up the mess."she gave them a small smile.

"Thanks Mrs.Grey.See you Alice."he returned the smile.Edmund sat up and went out the door with Eli.

I wonder why is he looking for him?

My brain couldn't process since its still early so I decided to just eat my cereal and ask my brother later.Yup,that will be better than thinking unnessary thoughts.

I quickly finished up my breakfast and washed the plates.
