The Frog Sister (The Lost Boys)

Headaches

Chapter 4

-

The next morning, she awakes to a pounding, but it takes her a minute to realize that it's not just her head causing it someone was banging on her bedroom door, glancing at the clock and seeing that it was eight in the morning she had no idea who it could be until her door slammed open and she was greeted to the all too familiar forms of her younger brothers.

Groaning she rolls over, "If this is payback for yesterday morning you better have brought me breakfast in bed."

They don't answer instead they pounce and pull off her covers, "What the hell!?" She screams before coming face to face with her own reflection again, this was quickly becoming a habit that was already way past its expiration date!

"Get off!" She shoves the closest one who happens to be Alan off of her bed, "Stay out of my face!" She shouts pushing Edgar off next and throws her pillow at the two idiots on her floor, "And stay out of my room you creeps!" After yelling that she flops back down rolls over holds her head and groans as her head is about to explode from the motion and noise of the morning.

"Think we should go?" Edgar mutters too loudly for her head and she moans in pain part of her wants to yell some more but the rest of her rebels against the idea, "No way what if they did something to her... she could be a halfling already!" He exclaims while the older sibling tries to block out their annoying voices with her hands wishing she hadn't tossed away her only pillow.

"But she passed the test..." Edgar explains, "That's because this is her home so wouldn't that be like an invitation until she turned full on fang face?" Alan says, and their sister wasn't sure if it was meant to be a statement or question and didn't care she just wanted them gone.

"Makes sense... so then we need to get her outside?" Edgar asks but she doesn't hear the other reply he probably nodded. If they knew what was good for them they had better not do what she thought, they were going to.

But that's exactly what they did, both of them grab her and haul her out of bed, "What do you think your doing!?" She yells not making things any better as her head feels like it's about to split open, "We need to check you something's obviously wrong!" Edgar says gruffly, "It's called a hangover dumbass now let me sleep it off!"

She swats at him but there's no strength behind her hit so they both succeed at getting her out her bedroom door before practically carrying her through the rest of the house with her kicking and knocking over a lamp before the front door opens and she's thrust out into the bright cheerful morning to endure their test.

As they shove the mirror in her face the rumpled girl tries to block the glare coming off of the mirror and into her sensitive eyes, if one could pass out from a headache she was sure that she was nearly there.

"She's clear." Alan states, "But you two aren't... as soon as I feel better I'm going to kill you!" She says murderously, the two look at each other than her and gulp and do the next worse thing they take off running making her have to drag herself back to bed or in this case the couch to sleep off the worse hangover of her life, just how much did she drink anyways...

Didn't matter what did was she was about to become an only child in a few more hours, and it's not like anyone would notice people disappear around here all the time after all.

That afternoon finds Becca back at the comic book shop with ironically a gallon of holy water she thought the symbolism would be funny even though any water would have worked for what she had planned.

It wasn't even that hard to obtain given the donation of free crosses she'd made the day before, that and she may have fibbed a bit about her reasons for wanting it but well the end results are what matters and hopefully, the big guy upstairs will look past it just once.
