Fair Trade

Chapter 16 - The True Enemy

I walked along side Calvin for a while before Nicole showed up. 

"Looks like the bitch is here," I muttered to Calvin and he snickered. Nicole just glared, clearing having heard what I said. 

"Wow Calvin, you truly are a traitor." She snapped. 

"Don't talk about traitors to me, Nicole. I'm not one, you are." He snapped back. 

"I'm not the one socializing with the enemy." I couldn't take any more of this bickering. 

"For the sake of my last few hours alive shut the fuck up! Seriously bitch? Enemy? How the fuck am I your enemy? For being alive? And he's not socializing with me!" 

"Don't call me a bitch! And if you two aren't socializing then why are you defending him and why is he laughing at your jokes?" She cross her hands over her chest, pushing up her most likely fake double D's higher, exposing more skin. 

"Ever thought that he probably hates you and thinks you're a bitch like I do? And my choices are limited. Either listen to you two bicker or stop this stupid thing. Why I chose to defend him is obvious; he's hot and you're not." She glared at me as Calvin tried to contain his laughter. 

"Just follow me and don't speak. Either of you." She said turning around and starting to walk. I laughed a bit.

"This hoe thinks I'm going to listen to her!" And in a nano second she had me pinned against a tree.

"You will listen to me because right now, you have no other choice. I can kill you in a heart beat." I just smirked at her.

"Either way you're going to kill me so I intend to spend every last second to do whatever it takes to piss you and Stephanie the fuck off. In the mean time, I might also try to get into sexy beast over there's pants but who knows what will happen?" I smiled and titled my head back. Calvin just smirked and rolled his eyes. Nicole didn't stop glaring at all.

"Just come with me, smart mouth." She released me and I followed behind her, walking along side Calvin.

It didn't take long to reach Serena and Stephanie. When we got there, Serena was laying of the floor, so I assumed she was knocked out. At least I knew she wasn't dead or anything.

As we got closer and closer, Stephanie's smile grew.

"Welcome Mariah. You're just in time to join the party. Serena over there couldn't handle the fun anymore so she decided to take a little nap." Stephanie announced when we had finally reached her.

"What did you do to her?" I asked, smile no where to be found on my face.

"Let's just say she isn't the Holiest person alive. Seems Holy Water, how do I say this, burns her in a way." She laughed at the end of the sentence and I couldn't help but laugh too. When Stephanie heard me laughed she stopped and snapped at me.

"What do you find so funny?" She glared. 

"Sorry, I just always found that funny. You guys are vampires and suppose to be fearless but Holy Water, the same water that people use to heal themselves, is your weakness. Kind of funny if you ask me." I kept laughing until Stephanie was inches away from my face. 

"Whatever game you're trying to play with me, twat, it won't work. You're dead no matter what." 

"Who said I was playing a game? And death doesn't really scare me so I'm not trying to escape it right now." Stephanie's smile returned. 

"You don't get it do you? Not only is every supernatural's biggest threat gone when we kill you, but Logan will have no one else to comfort him when your gone. No one that looks like you - wait! There is someone. Your twin sister." My heart ached at the sound of his name next to my sisters. 

"They're already dating. Besides, I have a boyfriend."

"One you don't care about. Well you do, but not in a boyfriend kind of way. More like a brother in law, I should say. Everyone knows it. Even he does. As for the other two, cleary you didn't see what happened between them in the office did you? No you did but you didn't see the full thing." I was confused as fuck.

"What do you mean?" She smiled and held out her hand. I took it and she led me with her to the center of the room we were in. 

"Close your eyes. I'll show you everything. Consider it a last wish from me." Knowing I was going to die either way, I listened to her and closed my eyes. Instantly, I was transported to the moment where I saw Maricel kissing Logan. But I wasn't standing by the door. I was in the room, but no one saw me. I saw everyone. I saw other me quickly close the door and I knew I was running right now. What was she tryng to show me? The rest of this make out scene? But then, Logan did something. He pushed Maricel off him!

"What the fuck are you doing? You know I don't like you like that! I just finished asking you how I can ask your sister out and you kiss me? What sick game are you playing?" Logan spatted. 

"Don't you see, Logan. I was meant to be with you not Mariah! Why do you still continue to choose her?" Maricel said, tears running down her face. 

"Because I love her! And I thought you'd help me get her! Not make a fucking move on me. No wonder everyone likes Mariah better. She's understanding and sweet and kind and beautiful. You're just a slut!" And with that said, he left the room, leaving Maricel all alone. She slid down the wall and cried. I had never seen my sister cry before. 

"I hate you, Mariah. And as long as I live, I will just try to destroy you. Finally then no one will like you better. They won't have anyone to like better then me." And with that said, a smile creeped upon her face. But it wasn't her smile. It was the smile of a madman. My sister was crazy. And I knew at that moment, she told Stephanie where I was. She was planning this all along. She wanted me dead. I just couldn't believe it. The same person who I thought was my best friend, turned out to be my biggest enemy, and I never knew. The saddest part was that it was all my fault. Because of me she got put aside while I got all the praises. She was the second choice while I had people fight over me. She was just someone people'd go to when I wasn't around. Of course she wanted me dead. Hell, I'd want me dead too. But I still couldn't shake it off. She hates me. My own sister hated me. And I was going to die now because of her hatred. One thing good did come out of all this, though. I found out the guy I love loves me back. Too bad I'll be dead before we could do anything about it. All because we were all blind to see that my twin sister was the true enemy.
