The Other Sister

Tell her

Ivy and I walk in the bar the next morning with the cat that was formerly known as Chad Pratton.

"Didn't expect you to show up." Roni sighs not looking up from the cash register.

"I..." I sat down on the stool, "is Kelly here?"

Roni looked up clearly annoyed, "Do you see her here? Then no!" She goes back to counting. "Why are you even looking for her?"

Ivy came closer to us, the cat in hand, "We have something for her..."

"A cat?" Roni raises her eyebrows.

"Is that a kitty?!" Kelly squeals. "I love cats."

Ivy and I shared a look. "You wanna tell her?" Ivy asks.

"Give her the cat..." I sigh.

Ivy handed Kelly the cat. "Ok..."

"Now, Kelly this cat is..." I looked at Kelly her eyes were on the cat in her arms, "Nope. I can't do it." I turn to see Ivy giving me the look, her right eyebrow was raised her eyes narrowed at me and her posture: arms folded over her chest with her left foot in front of the right. "You tell her!"

"This cat was Chad." Ivy declares.

"What?!" Kelly cries scarring the cat, it jumped from her arms, and ran away. "You're kidding."

"Sorry." I shrug.

"You did this!" Kelly accuses me. "What? The princess can't stand that she got rejected by a guy..."

"Kelly!" Roni scolds. "Listen to yourself why would Rose do something so evil as to curse the man you love just because he rejected her?"

"First of all, I did not get rejected..." I correct Roni. "Second, I don't care if he likes me or not. And third and finally, do you really think I be capable of doing something as evil as that? Cursing people is more your guys' thing."

Weaver walked in, "Sorry to interrupt a sister squabble, but this is important." He sat in the stool next to mine, "Someone's killing witches."

"Say what?!" I demand.

"Tell me does this photo look familiar ..." he places a photo on the bar.

Ivy rolled her eyes, "Looks like a tattoo removal procedure gone wrong."

Kelly, Roni, and even Weaver starred at her, I sunk in my seat.

"Let's just say that Rosie, here, got a tattoo and to hide it from mother she got the tattoo removed... of course mother saw and boy was she mad!"

"Tell me about it." I sigh. "She even used the disappointed card on me..."

"What's that?" Roni asks.

"You know when a parent or authority figure or even just someone you love tells you, No, I'm not mad, I'm just very disappointed." I explain.

"I'm pretty sure, mother used more words than that." Ivy smirks.

"Well, she did." I sighed, "But you know..."

"Can we please go back to the witch killer?" Roni sighs.

Weaver continued, "So the killer's victims are all witches... if there pattern continues I fear one of us could be the next one in that morgue."

"Well..." I waved, "plan me a nice funeral!"

"Wait you can't just give up!" Kelly calls.

"Oh so now, you act like you care!" I sneer. "Well, tough you missed that chance!"

"Did I miss something?" Weaver asks.

"Just my 'sister' accusing me for ruining her life."

"Ok ok fine, I'm sorry for accusing you." "I'm desperate for love that I forgot..."

Then Ivy's phone started ringing. "Oh its Robyn... I should take this. Will you be ok here?"

I nodded, "But what about Anastasia..."

"Have I ever told you, the way you say Anastasia sounds like the way mother says it?"

"What's that mean?"

"Nothing... nothing ... nothing at all, Princess."

"Are we just going to result to name calling?"

"Seems like it, mother's precious little princess." Ivy rolls her eyes.

I huffed, "I really doubt you wanna start this with me," I flashed an evil smile, "do you, Ivy?"

"If you'll excuse me, I have to come back to work." grabs her purse and exits.

"Mhmm..." I nod.
