Masked Beauty

Chapter 2: Last Night

I walk into my sisters room and sit on her bed.

" You know this ball isn't that big of a deal. "

I tell her and she scoffs.

" Cassandra I know you're lying you're smart enough to know it's a huge deal. "

She tells me and I sigh knowing she's dead on, this ball is anything but not a big deal.

" Ok so maybe the ball is a huge deal but it's not because of how you look it's your last night as a free human being, the point isn't to look good it's to have fun. "

I tell her.

" How can I have fun if I don't look amazing? "

I chuckle and she glares at me. It's hard to believe we're twins the only proof is that we're the same age, we look and act nothing alike.

" No matter what kind of hair style you have or what you wear I know you're going to knock everyone's socks off. "

I tell her and she finally smiles.

" Thanks I know. "

I would laugh but I know my sister well enough to know she's not joking.

I hear someone knock on the door and moments later hear my mom talking to some guy. I sigh and look at my sister who looks angry enough to explode.

Mom does get paid to take care of us but it's bare minimum so she started to " invite " night crawlers to have sleepovers at our house and by invite I mean she either lets them drink her blood or have sex with her or both.

Night crawlers are the rebel vampires who don't believe in drinking from blood bags they prefer people and many prefer to kill their victim and that's why I never understood why she would put herself and her kids in that position. When me and Sophia were kids she would let them drink our blood for extra money. Obviously a human can only lose so much blood without passing out or dying so if she reached her limit and the Night crawler was still hungry she would use us.

" It's our last night here and she didn't even have the decency to spend one night off? "

My sister hisses and before I can stop her she's in the living room glaring at my mom who is getting her blood sucked at the moment.

" Can you stop being a whore for one day? "

The man pulls away from mom with blood dripping down his face looking at us frustrated.

" I didn't pay for drama who are these chicks? "

He says monotone like all night crawlers.

" Cassandra can you please take Sophia to her room? "

My sister lunges at my mom but I hold her back dragging her back to her room.

" She is such a whore! She can't let us be normal for one night! Just one night! "

She says crying and screaming finally she stops yelling and just sobs into my shirt. Our lives are over and we both know it but people deal with things differently.
