I just went to the bathroom for 3 minutes max and now the girl is staring at me like she is trying to decide how to cut me, 'okay, maybe I'm just exaggerating but I still don't like how she's looking at me. She raises an eyebrow and repeats herself except with more demand " Who are you?". "J-John Crogan" I couldn't help stuttering, I felt like with every twitch she was deciding whether she should kill me or not 'why do I have a good heart, I was warned that it would be my downfall'. While her face permanently remained a scowl, I could notice that her eyes went through many emotions; first was anger then curiosity and then wonder and finally joy. "Crogan? That's a weird last name" she said with a blank face though I could see amusement in her eyes almost like she's waiting for a response. "Well what's your name then?" I finally asked trying to challenge her with her same blank expression... wait. "My name is Scarlet. Scarlet Crogan that is, dear brother" she said with a smirk.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing I sat there shocked for a while, 'how is this possible? I never had a sister or any siblings for that matter'. My mother was extremely, well strict is one way to put it. I won't lie there were many times that I wondered if she cared if anything happened to me, I wouldn't put it past her to hide the fact that I had a sibling. But this girl was... "That's impossible, you were locked down in that cellar! How can you be my sister if-" "OUR HORRIBLE MONSTER OF A MOTHER LOCKED ME DOWN THERE BEFORE YOU WERE BORN!" she interrupted, fury taking over her face as the lights in the room flickered and a pot fell over.
I sat there, frozen with fear. "Our mother's name was Selena" she began, "People on the outside would think that she was a beautiful kind woman based on how she acted outside the house, but that wasn't the case" her eyes seemed to fill with fury at the memory of her. "She would rather have children that followed each and everyone of her rules to a t, than love them. She would hit and claim a child was of the devil for doing something like liking bugs or playing in the mud. That woman should have never had children and I have no idea why our father loves her so much" she finished, on the verge of tears.
Everything she said was true which meant... "So then you really are my older sister?" she turned to look my in the eyes "yes, and you are the family I never got to have"
