Sister Island

Chapter 2

Inspire1000 I came up with the ideas, but again Raven wrote it out for me! This would have been part of Chapter one, but it was to long for Midnight1314 to write in her notebook.

Last time in Sister Island: I cleared my throat to get their attention...

My aunt quickly got in front of my grandma protectively and she aimed an unloaded bow at my head. She reached backwards for an arrow that wan't there. Grandma Iris stated calmly, "And that's why I took your arrows away from you. Not only do you try to kill every human that gets close to me, you also cut my butler. This why I can't have nice things." Aunt Poinsettia just groaned loudly.

She complained, "That was one time and he shouldn't have tried to wake me up like that. Especially when you weren't there with him. I was once known as the deadliest creature on our island." My grandma giggled softly.

She said, "And I the smartest, my dear sister Artemis." She chuckled at her own joke apparently. My aunt chuckled lightly while nodding her head in agreement.

My aunt said, "I know, my dear Athena."

My grandma asked, "What about you trying every human trying to get close to me?"

My aunt growled out, "No one and I mean no one will ever hurt my little sister while I'm still alive." She smiled a little sweetly and my grandma chuckled.

My grandma stated a bit sassily, "Don't I know it. You remind me at least once a day if not more times than that. You could give me a break sometimes though Artemis." My aunt shook her head negatively, while the rest of us looked at the sisters in confusion because we had no clue what the two were talking about. My brother and I just looked at the butler.

He just shrugged and said, "They do that off and on sometimes."

My aunt exclaimed loudly, "What do you mean sometimes? We refer to each other by those nicknames all the time."

My mother agreed, "They use to call themselves that while I was growing Sebastian, so I don't understand why you're saying that either." He sort of smiled and shrugged once more.

I said dramatically, "As much as I love this cute moment, I just almost died."

My aunt said matter-of-factly, "You will be fine. I didn't even hit you with anything. You need calm down kiddo." I groaned softly while glaring at her, but she returned my glare with one of her own and it was a lot scarier than mine.

I gulped and questioned the sisters, "Did you say your island? So you two really do own an island called Sister Island?" The two women instantly stopped their ranting and bickering just to look at me intently. Poinsettia seemed to be on guard for some unknown reason.

Grandma sighed and said softly, "Have a seat you three. We'll explain a few things to you all."

Mom stated, "Actually, Mom, I have things planned and I have to go."

Grandma questions, "Do you want to take the limo?" Mom shook her head no.

She replied politely, " No, thank you, I brought my car."

Grandma asked, "Should we send the children back home in it?" My brother and I looked excited at that idea because let's admit that would be super cool. 

Of course my mother had to ruin our excitement by saying, "No, I'll come get them in a week's time." Grandma nodded and Mom left to do her plans. During the whole exchange between my mother and grandmother, Aunt Poinsettia was silently watching them as if waiting for something to happen where she would have to kill someone. She frightened me sometimes.

Grandma questioned us, "Do either of you want some tea?" I shook my head no because I don't really like tea.

My brother, who has never had tea, stated confidently, "I would like some please." Good at least he remembered his manners. He took a seat on a couch and I took the couch that was across from whereas the sisters were cuddling together. I wondered, 'They must be really close to cuddle like that. I wonder how that happened.' I didn't realize that I had said all that out loud.

That was until my aunt said, "In due time little missy." I looked surprised while she just grinned at me. The butler returns with three tea glasses and serves the two sisters and my brother their requested tea. My brother takes the cup and takes a sip from it. A smile grew onto my face as his face twisted into one of disgust.

He stated, "Aww man! That's really gross!" The adults in the room all chuckle at his misfortune, while I straight out laugh at my little brother. I must admit his face was the best thing I've seen all day. We all get really comfortable on our couches. Even the butler sat down in an armchair to listen to the story that he must not have heard yet.

I ask, "How did you two hear about Sister Island? Why is it called Sister Island? What went on there?"

Aunt Poinsettia said a bit annoyed, "Enough with the questions girl! They are giving me a headache. All of them will be answered if we tell you the whole story of that fateful night." Grandma nodded her head in agreement.

She started the story off by saying, "This is where our story begins, but not where it finishes..."
