".......you can not expect me to just sit here, Milton?" She asks him, slamming close his laptop so he'd have to look at her which he hadn't done since they got to his room, "Milton, what's going on? Can you please talk to me," she says sighing before falling on the bed.
"Milly, you just have to trust mum and dad, if you don't want to, then trust me, it's not time yet and the moment it's time, I'd tell you everything but for now you have to be safe, you might just be the key,"
"Key to what, Milton?" She hits him to reply as he slips his earphones back on and gives her shh sign, she knew she wasn't going anywhere with him but as much as they told her to drop it, the more she wanted to know, she couldn't help but be curious.
"Kids, you can come down now!!" Milly rushed down to the sound of her parents' voice ready to storm in and demand they tell her what's going on.
"Baby, are you okay?" They asked swooping her into a threesome hug, "it will get better, we'd tell you everything all it takes is time," her mum says before they let go and pat her on the head another action that brought back so many memories but she couldn't comprehend one of them, they all felt like they were mashed and shoved into her head.
Milly woke up the next day not even remembering how she went to bed, she took a quick glance at her palm, the new tattoo to add to all the mystery she remembered how her parents were so worried when they had seen it. She rushed to the bathroom stared at herself in the mirror, she felt drained as she tried to comb out her curly black hair putting up in a bun still glancing at her new tattoo trying to rinse it off.
"Milly, Milly, Milly," she repeated to herself in the mirror, "you have your birthday coming soon and you're going to be older soon just suck it up and get out of this nuthouse before any more weird things
happen," she says taken out her lip gloss and rolling it over her lips before going off to meet her parents.
"Milly, breakfast!!" Her mum yells from the kitchen.
"I'm coming," she says, running off to meet her dad in the kitchen frying the bacon, with her mum making the coffee.
"Hey baby," he says laying a gentle kiss on her head,"how'd you sleep?"
"Dad when did I go to bed last night?" She says unable to digest the bacon and eggs in front of her.
"Actually neither, you have the honor of being with your mum for the day and I have to go see your brother,"
"Dad, Milton is home, isn't he upstairs?" She says glancing at her dad who still kept shoving the bacon in his mouth and seemed to not hear a word she was saying, "Milton!!!!!!!" She screamed, "mum, where's Milton?" She said turning over to look at her mum who was busy sipping coffee.
"Don't worry about it, honey, now are you ready to go to school, I have to be in the hospital by 10," her mum said taking another sip of coffee.
"Mum are you okay? Mum, where's Milton?" She stared at her mum again who just smiled and sipped on her coffee, "Milton!!!!" She screamed grabbing her backpack.
"No, you do not," her mum says joyously parading past her with keys while her dad kisses her goodbye.
She kept turning back, the only thought she could manifest was she needed to leave the house, it didn't feel normal, her parents seemed almost possessed.
"Baby, get in the car"her mum said to her as she put the car in ignition.
"Mum, you know what, I'd walk to school, I have to go meet Eva, you could come pick me up," Milly said as she started walking out the walkway.
"Baby,get in the car" her mum repeated as Milly kept walking out on the road, "Milly baby get in the car, Milly,Milly" as she began to cry hitting the steering wheel, "Milly, Milly!!!"
Milly started running, trying to clear her mind on what was going on, she began pacing as she finally got to the doors of her school, she sat down to take a breath, she took out her phone dialing Milton's number.
"Hey Milly, what's up?" He says picking up the call from Milly.
"Hey Milton, what time did you leave last night?" She asks, trying to process what was going on.
"Last night? Milly I haven't been home in three years," he said confused as Milly started panting and breathing heavily staring at the tattoo on her hand which now seemed to be growing.
"Milly, Milly are you okay?" Milton said as she dropped her phone trying to steady her heartbeat, panting watching the x stretch past her palm up her arm with her vision blurring.
"Maygrace are you okay?"
