Perfect Poison

CHAPTER 8 THE CALL

Liquid unidentified? The hell does that even mean?

"Brat!" Six  legs quickly advanced towards the sickroom's entrance where me and Donna stood.

My brother's knitted brows glared harshly at me. With concern.
He sped past Maya's fleeting image without a single flirtacious smile, i doubt he even saw her. But Alison did.

Her flashy jewlery sprawled over her neck jangled rythymically as she  raced behind him.

"Out of my way." Her dark heels smacked over Maya's feet making her forcibly crumple to the floor in agony. "WHAT THE HELL!"

"How relentless."

I sideeyed donna, who was now flushing a light beetroot pink.
"God, your family is Toxic." She breathed heavily, running to  her sister.

"She is not family!" I yelled.

"Jesus,can you quit screaming, we already have guards hoarding the exits from students,theyre gonna think Something is wrong." Alison scoffed.
I squinted my eyes at her. My entire  life is wrong.
My brother begun prying sleeves up and down and alison did the same.

"Do you remember where they injected her?" Ayato travelled downwards towards my legs."i don't trust the staff here."

"No clue." Alison muttered rotating my arms for any markings or whatnot. She glanced at my lower back suspiciously before looking at me for a warning glance
" Don't be shy." I gave her a thin smile.
She raised a eyebrow before exploring my back half ,her pearly manicured hands tracing along my skin.
"It was Uncle." Both of them looked uo before shooting me confused looks.

"He did something to me."
"Serene, what are you talking about?"
Ayato stood up grabbing my arms coarsely.

"Just as i said." I sighed. "I know  something is wrong because nothing feels wrong."

Ayato pinched his nosebridge angrily. "Interesting theory brat, but we still need to find a place to stay, and a way to contact kiro." I slowly nodded.
"Um, isn't it obvious? You two are staying with me!" Alison whisper shouted.
"Great idea Al, your buisness girlfriend and ex boyfriend both crashing at some trashy hotel." I smile.  In case you wondered for a while, how i'd known Alison, i shall summarise , Our Family had issued a plan for both Ayato and Alison to procreate, both companies had been hoping with the connections together

their reputation would increase even higher, however after the two had gotten bored of eachother sexually, and that is what i personally believe...along  with Alison's bisexuality flunctuating at formal parties... (the subtle stroke of a  females arm at the dinner table or a heated kiss in the corner of the ballroom) Theyre now  trying to use the same methods on both of us, tecnically speaking and for buissnes only, me and Alison are girlfriends. Can you feel the love?

Alison gave me a deadpan look. "Do you want to live on the street?"
"We could just ask the kirenchos if they have space for us."
Ayato quickly suggested, trying to resolve this little feud nice and sweetly. Alison and i snorted in unison.
"Like i said, do you want to live on the street?"

All of our existing penthouses, unlimited express cards and accounts have probably been suspended or unavailable now that evil man  is head of our little manor.

A small chip has been coded throughout every malwhere, softwhere and hardwhere given to us. It also tracks our finance, location and...Shit.

My hands travelled along my bra as i felt a miniscule plastic sticker caressing my left breast.
Where i was injected. "I need the best doctors money can get." Ayato tirelessly ranted over his mobile, his voice hoarse and demented.

"Isn't your dad like a doctor or something? just call him!"

"We can't do that, Uncle would know our location if we stepped into any of those hospitals, we need somewhere that is off the map, somewhere far away."

"Like a rural area?"

"Maybe a different country!"

i considered it for a minute. It makes sense, but what other hospital would actually rival the genius level of my family's??

"The Zhengs!"

The what now-

"Their perfect!" Alison exclaimed suddenly outbursting with excitement.

"I don't know too much about them but a relative of mine had catarax once, and the medicine they gave them made it heal almost instantly!"

Ayato and i looked at her in shock. "Oh, don't worry about us, they're ok now." She balbbered quickly looking at the both of us. "They're feeling much better now."

"Well you don't have that many family members, so i sure hope so." Ayato replied softly.

"I'm sorry that happened to you."

What, no family members? Is it just her and her mother...

"Oh, nothing to be sad about."

She replied almost flippantly, flicking a clump of black hair to the side. "It wasn't that big of a deal, don't stress you too."

Why is she acting like acting like she cured of Alzheimer's disease or something?

"Well, i know it's only you and your mum and your grandparents died 4 years ago so i suppose, yeah, it's a bit of a shock to know you had other relatives when you said there weren't any!"

Ayato continued, slowly taking the lead. "I'm just...wow."

"Hey, it's fine, it was a shock to me to, but i don't know anything about them, only tha they suffered a tremendous blow on their help a few years back."

"Well thank god their still here! Shouldn't you strive to hear more of them? do you have any contact details or like."

"Actually no, my mother won't tell me anything, it was just one day that i found her in the dining room , in tears, holding a letter to her chest that i even was aware of someone else being alive."

Alison spoke with such a soft toned sound i could barely recougnise her. She sounded  liek a person who had been lied to, all these years. And her face looks so distorted with confusion, even i have shock.  And again, the two of them reconcile over past thoughts and discussions i never even knew about. I'm not envious or anything. But i feel so closed off whenever this happened, it feels sort of like i'm not there.

"Are you sure everything is fine?" I asked suddenly, curious to Alison's inner knowledge.

She turned to look at me and her whole expression resolidified to the plastic, unrealistic smile that everyone else will see at school. "I'm great." she smirked. The doors slam right in my hands.

She won't open up to me.

"The Zhengs? Are you sure...ok... thankyou Sir." My brother slammed his phone down his right pocket triumphantly

"Time to pay someone a visit."
