Life is Hell

Chapter Twenty Eight - Showdown

"I can't believe I dragged you into this shit!" Frank said as Rachel and I were sitting in his RV. "Hey, I dragged myself into this shit! Would you fucking stop blaming yourself for something that is out of your hands!" I yelled at him. "It's my fault you're in this position!" Rachel said. "Would you both just shut up already?! It was my idea, so it's my fault! I offered to help you" I said to Rachel "And I got onto the RV with you!" I said to Frank. "If there is anyone you should blame, it's me and only me!" I said and got up. "Can we just get this shit over with so you get your answers and you get your balls back!?" I asked.

"What do you have to do with any of this?" Frank asked Rachel. "Didn't Clare tell you?" She asked and Frank shook his head. "Sera is my mom" Rachel said "Or at least the woman that gave birth to me. I just want to know who she is and what she is doing here" "Then stop the whining, just get out and find it out!" I said pissed and opened the RV door. Rachel followed me close by. Frank got out as well, but kept his distance, but refused to take his eyes of us.

"Here" I said and handed Damon some cash that I collected for him over the past few days. "Took you long enough" He said and counted it. "Not a thief, but keep counting" I said to him, crossing my arms. "You didn't disappoint me Clare. I guess I should have recruited you earlier" "I'm not a recruit! I'm just in here for the information and you know that and you will most definitely not change my mind, so spill!" I said. "How about no, Knox, you take over" Damon said and walked off. "We had a fucking deal!" I yelled after him. "I don't know anything, Knox does! You're getting your information first hand so stop whining little fucker!" Damon said and left.

Then a girl with bright red hair walked towards us. She was definitely a punk and I think her tattoos spoke for themselves. "So you are the little girl that wants to find out about Sera, why?" She asked. "Why does that matter? The deal was I get Damon the money and he spills, so spill!" I said, not backing down now. "Fine, Sera is my mom" Knox started "And it seems like we have far more in common than that, do we?" She said, looking at Rachel. Just now I realized what was going on. This Knox girl was her sister, but not just any sister. Dye her hair back to blond, take off the tattoos and put her into a little more fabric and they would be identical. "I don't understand, how is that possible?" Rachel asked, looking into her sister's eyes that looked exactly like hers.

"Classic case of separated by birth. I was wondering what kind of girl you are. Did you know that I wasn't able to walk through the streets without at least one person telling me I looked like Rachel Amber. Honestly, I don't see it. You're way too innocent" She said. Oh, she didn't know Rachel Amber at all. "What is Sera doing here?" I said to get back to the topic, but the bitch just wouldn't spit it out. "What? Lost your voice? Did Ursula get to you?" I asked. I'm serious, she looked like a stoned version of the Little Mermaid.

"Cute" She commented, then sat down in an old chair that looked like it would fall apart any second. "Why are we here? Easy. The answer is Rachel" She said. "Rachel Amber, the perfect girl is actually the daughter of a stoner. Sounds like an interesting life story, doesn't it?" Knox asked. "We. want. Rachel" She said, stepping closer to her sister, who was basically paralyzed. "Rachel isn't leaving Arcadia Bay with you!" I said. "Who said anything about leaving? We kinda like it here" Knox said and got up again, walking around us. "Why would you like it in Arcadia Bay?" Rachel asked "It's the biggest shit on earth"

"Not since we're here. It's been... one huge adventure" Knox said. "I can't say I agree, but hey. Apparently you're not good at making choices"

"We're done here" Frank said and walked over to us, grabbing Rachel and I and was trying to drag us out of here. "No, you're not!" Damon said loud, causing us to stop and to turn around. Damon was holding a gun towards us. "No one is getting out of here alive!" "Why don't you be a man and fight like one?" Frank asked. "When are you stopping to hide behind a team of kids?" Damon asked in return. Frank suddenly pulled a gun out himself, holding it towards Damon. "What? Think that will scare me?" He asked, not being impressed by anything.

"You two get out of here!" Frank yelled. Rachel started running off, but I couldn't leave Frank behind "I'm not leaving without you!" I said. "You are! Go!" Frank said and pushed me back. A tear came out of my eye, but I followed Rachel into the RV and started looking around. "What are you doing?" Rachel asked. "I'm looking for something, can't you see that?" I asked and then finally found something, that I could use. "What do you want with that?" Rachel asked scared. "If Frank dies, I'll die. It doesn't matter if I risk my life. I honestly don't care if my life ends through a bullet or a slit wrist" I said and went back out. "Clare!" Rachel called, but she was too scared to follow me out.

"Get the fuck away from him!" I said angry, holding the gun towards Damon. "Or what? Will you shoot me?" He asked, not taking me serious. "Exactly!" I said and pulled the trigger, but held it in place. "Get the fuck away from him! I'm not going to repeat myself!" I said, but Damon still didn't stop. So I did it. I released the trigger and the bullet went right through Damon's skin, pushing him off Frank. "I'm not repeating myself" I said, while Frank got off the ground.

Some of Damon's men were running towards us. "Rachel, take the wheel!" I yelled and ran towards the RV with Frank, but before closing the door, I released one last shot, which caused the abandoned building to explode, while Rachel drove as fast as possible away from it.

As soon as we were far away from the place, Rachel stopped the RV and got off the driver's seat. She couldn't believe what just went down. I couldn't either. I just killed at least five people. I was pale and shaking, while Frank was trying to comfort me. Rachel sat down next to me, comforting me just like Frank. I was numb.
