The girl was standing there breathless like she'd been running for a while. "What do you want?", I asked ready to close the door, "This is private property". She held up her hand, "Please I didn't realize..". "I don't think so", I said but my brother stopped me. "She might be useful", he said inviting her in.
"Get to the point", Cody said, "I will start reconsidering letting you live if you're not useful". She took a small breath, she brushed her platinum locks out of her face then began. "You are not their sister".
"What!?", we all screamed in unison. "You heard me", she said simply. "We were switched at birth to fool the enemy. A tactical maneuver. Nothing personal", she said like that was a normal thing to say. "Why should we believe you", Jasper said, becoming suspicious. "Because its the truth", she said matter-of-factly, "My name is Priscilla by the way".
All I could do was stare at her. The absolute nerve. "You can't just come here and lose like that", I said pointing my finger at her, "This is not the time for pranks". "I am not joking", she said.
"We have no reason to believe you", Jasper said, seething. "Believe what you want", she said, turning up her little smug nose.
"If this is true. You were willing to allow an innocent person to die on your behalf", Cody said, "She would've died and you would've gone scot free then someone's entire life would be wasted". "It was a t-t-tactical maneuver", she said, her voice faltering, "It w-w-was neccessary".
Cody simply scoffed, "Pffft Tactical maneuver that endangered someone you don't even know". She looked down, "I'm sorry, I should leave".
"Wait", Jasper stopped her, "Maybe we can use you".
