The Collins Curse | ✓

07 | "holy shit kenzie! it just moved!"

|| Kenzie ||     || Miles ||

There were sounds of giggles and belly laughters that hadn't been heard in years echoing throughout the stone cold house luring both Lainey and Wesley out of their rooms.

Giving each other confused looks they hesitantly, yet curiously followed the joyous sound that had once been music to their ears.

Lainey and Wesley stood in front of a room where the sound of laughter bellowed through the ajar pearly white door that gave them a glimpse inside the lighted room. Careful not to make a noise they both poked their heads in the room only to be confronted with a sight they'd only dreamed of seeing again.

They found Kenzie sprawled on her back in the middle of her bed clenching her stomach in fits of never-ending giggles. Both Lainey and Wesley eyes grew wide as they absorbed the scene in front of them. They were astonished; they hadn't seen their little sister so carefree and full of life in years. It was like taking a trip down memory lane and seeing the same Kenzie who had always been a ray of sunshine even in the most difficult part of their lives. Kenzie had always been the one to never lose hope, but that changed when their sweet little sister became another victim of the infamous Collins curse.

Both Wesley and Lainey didn't understand how it was possible for the kindest person they had ever met, the kindest person in their entire family to be possessed with a curse she didn't deserve.

It was unfair, but what was even worse was not being able to do anything while Kenzie continued to silently suffer.

As Lainey stood there with tears streaming down her cheeks, Wesley elbowed her and pointed at the phone that Kenzie held against her ear. They both gave each other a puzzled look wondering who could be on the other end but quickly stepped back out of sight as Kenzie began to sit up.

As they began to walk away from the scene that they could only hope to see again; both Wesley and Lainey stopped in their tracks when they heard Kenzie laugh out a Stop Miles you're being ridiculous.

Miles. They both whispered the name at the same time.

Regardless of who this mysterious Miles was, they silently thanked him for bringing their sister back to the joyful little girl she used to be.

"Stop Miles you're being ridiculous." Kenzie couldn't stop laughing.

Kenzie had been talking to Miles for hours playing a game of would rather, only for her to discover that Miles was petrified of spiders. She couldn't stop laughing at the newfound information and the fact that Miles was being tormented by the creature as they spoke.

"I'm not being ridiculous, its huge Kenzie like its bigger than my hand!"

"Now you're just exaggerate—."

"HOLY SHIT KENZIE! IT JUST MOVED!"

"Miles stop wasting time and kill it!."

"HELL NO! What if it's poisonous!"

"I'm pretty sure it's not."

"What are you a spider expert?!"

"No, but--"

"OH MY GOD! No Reubena! Stay back!"

"Miles? Is everything okay?"

"HOLY SHIT! Reubena just ate it!"

The line on the other end went quiet, a little too quiet. Especially for someone who had just been saved from an eight-legged creature by their dog, but when she heard a huge sigh of relief she couldn't help another bubble of laughter erupt from within her.
