Double Trouble(PREQUEL TO SITUATION!)

VIC

I hesitated out of the car until Finneas yanked me out and onto the gravel. The rocks dug into my skin and scraped me. I heard the rocks crunching under someone's footsteps.

"Get up." I sit up and stand up, looking up to Billie. She looks pissed. She snatches my wrist and pulls me up the hill. She throws me on the couch once we get inside.

What is with this family and throwing people?

I sat on the couch watching Billie pace around. She angrily mumbled to herself.

"Um are you ok-"

"Do you know how much of a fool you made of me?" She turned to me and got in my face. I might be crazy, but she's hella hot when she's mad.

"Finneas is pissed at me and it's all your fault! You're not allowed to speak, you're not allowed to leave my room without me or someone escorting you, and don't even think about playing outside." She sounds like a mom. I looked up at her with puppy dog eyes.

"I-I'm sorry." I started to cry. I hate when people yell at me, and her telling me its all my fault gives me memories. Surprisingly, she pulls me in for a hug.

"I'm sorry babygirl, I didn't mean to make you cry. I'm just really upset and stressed." I sniffled into her shoulder.

"Come on, lets get you ready for bed." She took my hand and smiled and I smiled back at her.

"Billie, I need to speak to you. Alone." Billie looked at Finneas.

"Okay," She turned to me. "Baby, walk back to our room. You better not try anything." I nodded. Hey, if these people are notorious for killing people, I better listen. I headed up the stairs, and another, and then to Billie's room. I sat on the bed and waited for a bit before the door opened. The redheaded girl came in.

"Hi, I'm Danielle. Billie requested I bring some pajamas from my room." She brought in some grey sweats and a black spaghetti strap shirt. I picked up the clothes, but Danielle didn't leave.

"Turn around!" I playfully threw a pillow at her and she laughed, then walked to the window. I started getting undressed.

"Don't the stars look so pretty tonight?" I pull on my top.

"Yeah, I guess."

"You gotta look." I pull on my pants and walk over to the window. White stars dot the sky, only making way for the crescent moon. It was a once in a lifetime view.

"Wow. I've never lived in rural areas, so this is the first time I've seen the sky so clearly. So romantic." That last part slipped out. I hoped she wouldn't see my cheeks flush.

"Romantic?" She giggled.

"I-I guess." She wrapped her arm around my waist.

"It could be romantic if you want." She pulled herself closer to me. I rested my head on her shoulder.

"Are you seeing anyone Danielle?"

"No."

"Oh."

"Do you want me to see anyone?"

"I don't know." I sigh.

I look at the stars again.

"Danielle, what's it like living here?"

"Its...interesting. Constantly going on runs and robbing people. Never a boring moment here."

The door shot open. "Danielle, Madison. Come downstairs." It was Finneas. Danielle took my hand and smiled at me as we walked downstairs.

"In order to be an official member, we need you to do a small run for us." Everyone looked at me as they sat around the long table. "We need you to break into a house, kill whoever is home, and steal the money in their safe." Finneas slid the map down to me.

"We've clearly labeled where to go and where people might be. If you screw up, call us over the walkie." I looked down at the map. It was a big house, with a hidden safe.  I couldn't even fathom killing someone.

"Do I have to kill people?"

"Yes." Billie probably saw the fear was over my face.

"U-uh you don't have to. Only if you run into them." She murmured.

"Stop babying her Billie. You have to kill everyone in that house. We're going tonight, memorize the map."

"O-okay."

"House dismissed." Everyone got up and went in their own ways. I stayed at the table looking at the plan. It had directions scrawled onto it in messy handwriting.

1. Kill everyone in the house.

there was a cat drawing under it.

2. Punch in the code 473521 into the painting of a keypad.

3. Get all of the money in multiple trips.

A sun with a smiley face was drawn next to it.

4. Come back to the van and party.

A party popper.

5. Billie drew the faces.

6. hi its me billie

I folded up the map into fours and stood up.

"You ready to go to your room?" Danielle was still there.

"Yeah."
