Rachel's POV
"- Rachel.
- Hey mom.
- How are you sweety?
- Confused.
- Confused can mean so many things at once. Explain.
- I don't know what I'm doing, mom! Like should I trust them or not?
- Of course you can, honey!
- How the fuck do you know?
- LANGUAGE!
- Sorry, sorry...
- You're in the Crippen family. They are nice people but have a lot of family problems.
- Like everybody else.
- True. Did you sleep well?
- Not really.
- Why not?
- I don't feel comfortable. Plus, I'm scared that Joe Brown's gonna come back to me for revenge.
- Rachel, you got to keep hope alive and pray.
- In my case, hope doesn't exist and God don't like me.
- RACHEL, DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT!
- It's the truth!
- God loves all of his Children!
- How could you be so sure?
- Because he told me.
- Mom, how does heaven look like?
- It's peaceful and wonderful.
- Um... okay?
- When it's your turn to pass the Gates, you'll understand.
- I hope it's soon. I'm tired of life.
- You shouldn't be talking like that. Live your "YOLO" life like ya'll youngsters call it.
- Okay if you say so.
- I know so.
- Mom?
- Yes?
- I love you.
- I love you too, Rachel. And always remember one thing.
- What is it?
- If my friend was a cup of honey, I wouldn't lick it all the way..."
I woke up with dripping sweat on my face. I had one of them chaotic dreams again. The sun was so bright and even to bright for my eyes to handle, in my opinion.
- Knock, knock.
Alexandra came in the room, throwing her school bag on the floor. She smiled at me and I smiled back.
- Slept well?
- Kind of.
Alexandra was tall and dark skinned. She had dark brown eyes and mid-long black hair with brown strands on the tips. Her body was curvy and well formed. Despite her beauty, it wasn't that that bothered me.
- Do you know what time it is?
She took out her iPhone from her back pocket and told me that it was 3:50 p.m.
- I slept all that time?! I said in shock.
- I guess... Aren't you hungry? Do you want me to bring you something?
- Starving, actually.
- Okay. I'll be right back!
She left the room and I just laid there on my own.
Craig's POV
Who the hell is my sister talking to? I figured that she couldn't be talking on her phone because the voice was too present. I saw her fly down the stairs and go in the kitchen.
- Alex!
- What?!
- Who the fuck are you talking to?
She froze. That's how I knew that she was hiding something from me.
- What do you mean?
- You know exactly what I mean, I said.
- Okay, fine! But don't tell mom or dad! They'll kill me. Literally.
- It can't be that bad.
- Well, what if I told you that another member his gonna join the Crippen family?
- I don't understand.
- Okay, lemme explain. Yesterday night, when I came back home late, I was texting mom when something made me fall on the ground. I got up and saw that it was a body.
- A dead body?!
- That's what I thought until it started to move and stuff. I got so scared so I shouted and screamed at it.
- And then what?
- Well the body was crying and was praying for me to not call the police and shit or hurt her and I figured that maybe the body is really innocent so I decided to bring it back home.
That's the weirdest story I've ever heard.
- Well, you do know that mom and dad are gonna end up finding out, right?
- Ya, I know. I just hope they're not gonna freak out. She's a really nice girl, by the way.
- Hol' up. She's a girl? I said now, excited.
- Yup! If you wanna talk to her, she's in my bedroom. I'm gonna go get her something to eat.
As soon as she was done talking, I flew up the stairs and went in Alexandra's room. I didn't knock, that's how excited I was...
Until I saw her face.
She was combing her hair and humming a song, besides the mirror, like a freaking mermaid. She didn't realize that I was standing there but as soon as she turned around, she froze in complete shock. She blushed and smiled, shyly.
That smile... I'll see it everywhere!
- Hi, I'm Rachel. Rachel Owens. Your sister is the one that brought me here, if your wondering-
- I know the damn story.
Rachel immediately closed her mouth and placed her hands in between her thighs.
- It's a lovely place over here, she said with her smile.
I don't know why and how but it happened. I grew angry towards her. I didn't want her here, suddenly. I wanted her out and I wanted her to never come back. Never ever again.
- Listen, this ain't yo' fucking house! You're not a Crippen and you'll never be one. So quit your act 'cause you look like a mermaid with this shit! You better be looking for another damn house to stay in 'cause you're not welcomed HERE.
Her face grew pale. Ignoring her presence, I got out and slammed the door.
Shit just got real...
