Hidden In The Darkness

Victim #6

"Hey, Cam-Cam. Where's your info?" I asked a little too quickly. She rolled her eyes and held her arms below her chest. You damn bitch. 

"First of all, have you visited Albert Gordon yet?" she arched a brow as if daring me to answer. Crap. I knew I forgot about something. I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly. "Uh, of course I did! Who do you think I am? You? Psh, I'm not a forgetful slut." I scoffed trying to hide my agitation. 

She face palmed. "You didn't get it did you?" she stated more than asked. I lowered my head embarrassingly. "No?" I chuckled trying to pull of my cute card. That was when I remembered too lately, I didn't have a cute card. Sure, I had a handsome card, but somehow it doesn't work on this one.

"You assholes actually forgot?!" she shrieked making me cringe,"Then what were you two doing this past two hours? I have been looking for you around the base!" 

"We may or amy not have been killing off some people in the streets." Deus confessed rather poorly. Seriously D, let me do all the lying. If looks could kill, we'd probably be dead by now. "You mean to tell me, I got blown up by the electrical generator in the store room for nothing?!" she spat. 

Whoops, made Medusa angry. Excuse me ladies and gentlemen as we turn to stone. Enjoy this peace of my past in the mean time.

"Chase, where are we going? Where's mommy and big brother?" Lily asked me. I shook my head. "I don't know either Lily." she frowned, but pushed no further. "guys? Are you alright back there?" big sister asked peering back at us.

I could see the stress lines on her smooth skin and dark bags under her eyes. Even I knew that that wasn't normal for a sixteen year old girl. "Sister?" I tilted my head at her. She smiled. I still didn't understand that smile. Before a few hours ago, it was so foreign to me. So was crying.

We soon arrived at a small alley way, and stopped to get some rest. "Rest guys. We still have a long way to go towards the orphanage." she smiled. I furrowed my brows. The orphanage? Why are we going there? 

"But don't we already have a home?" I questioned. Her gaze turned cold and distant. "No. We can't go there anymore." she explained. I didn't understand. Why couldn't we stay at our own home? Where mommy and big brother was?

"What about mommy and big brother? When are they coming?" Lily asked eagerly. I wanted to know too, but something inside me already knew the answer. They weren't coming. My suspicions were confirmed when big sister frowned. I could see it clearly in her expressive's eyes blue eyes, she was sad. Yet there was something else, a mixture of rage and vengeance glinted.

"They're...in a safer place now." she watched her words, as if a single wrong sentence could tear us apart. Lily's eyes brimmed with tears. She started to sniffle. I, on the other hand, didn't cry. I just lowered my head. I couldn't cry. Big brother said not to.

Soon Billy followed her sister, and he began to wail. I didn't think he actually knew why he was crying, just that his family was sad. I kneeled down to his level and smiled. Not a real smile, just a fake one. Though I hid all my sadness away from it. It seemed to work.

"Billy, a real man doesn't cry! Ok?" I told him. He sniffled his cries and nodded at me. "Ok" he hiccuped. Then I hugged him, a warm embrace, like how big brother had hugged me. I had hoped that it'd gave him the same warm sensation his did.

Lily's own tears soon stopped too, and she came over to comfort our little baby brother. That was the responsible thing t do after all. He was still a child. he needs this more than we do right now. 

As we all wrapped each other in a warm embrace, my eyes began to feel heavy. Sleep had won me over, and so did everyone else. It was warm that night, I couldn't forget the warmth of our embrace.

Aaaaand, we're back. Hello again my peeps. Last time you heard from me, I was just about to get turned to stone by Medusa's spawns. But luckily, she had found it in her cold cold cold cold cold cold stony heart to forgive us with only a simple much in the face!

...not

Oh if you could only see me now. My already battered face from the last time she punched me got even darker if that was even possible. Now my beautiful face has a large wart hiding it! Oh this is so going on my lists of things I'll 'eventually' get vengeance for!

Though I didn't see why Deus was let off with a simple pinch on the cheek. He was as guilty as I was. Stupid sibling bias! The bitch just hates me from the bottom of her jet black heart. Not that I'd care really. Just meant more free time away from her.

"Your sister hits like a dude, D." I sulked trying to get Deus to comfort me. I knew that irritated her so I do it a lot in her face. "Fuck you, ass." she hissed. I stuck out my tongue again as I continued to hug Dede's waist sulkily. 

Other than the fact that he was a guy, the guy was purely huggable. Imagine the softest, fluffiest teddy bear you can think of. Then times it by one million. That's how huggable he was. I should know since I dared about ten random strangers hug  him and they told me the same damn thing. Actually, I think it was fifteen or twenty. Anyway, it was somewhere between ten and thirty people. I was in my rebellious stage okay? Out of it now though, mostly.

"Ok, that's enough quarrels for today. Back to the topic at hand?" Dede so responsibly ordered. Bitchy nodded like the slutty puppy she was. "Anyway, I just found out that this Albert guy had more things associated to your dad than I originally had thought." she stated. 

My gaze turned strict. "What do you mean?" I asked. It wasn't the time to act stupidly. She smirked as if enjoying my aching curiosity. "He, my dear friend, is one of the people responsible of your brother and sisters' murdering."

Whooo! Two days in a row! Beat that laziness!!!...Actually, never mind.
