Untamed Secrets

Chapter 4: The First Victim

Dear Anastasia,

My dearest sister I don't know what you've gotten yourself into, but you need to fix it. You're not only putting yourself in danger but you're also putting your daughters in danger and this I won't tolerate. How could you do this? How could you trust that Spawn of Satan? Hasn't she done enough damage in your life?

I've been there for you since the twins were born and they are the highlight of my existence. I may not have birthed them, but I love them more than anything in this world. At least it's more than what I can say for you. You know I'll do anything fit my baby sister. I'll lay out and allow a car to end it all to give to you but this time I cannot. This is the moment I tell you I can't come back until you fix this. I will NOT be put in danger behind you and your decisions.

I love you forever and always but please do the right thing...

-Jennifer

The aroma of bacon and sausage float through the house as everyone wake with groggy eyes after yesterday's events. Hard to believed that all of that happened in one solid day. We had no idea where we were or where we'd end up.

"Good mornings kid! How'd you sleep?" Aunt Jen stood at the stove frying eggs as she removed the last freshly made waffle from the waffle maker. Her black robe swayed with her hips as she moved dancing to an unknown tune.

"I slept fine ma'am. Thank you."

"What's your name again if I must ask."

"My name is Rory. Rory Rodriguez."

Well Rory may you please get everyone rallied up here! I want you guys to have some food in you before we talk."

I walked away through the living room where the stairs escalated. As large as this house is, I'm surprised there is no damn elevator.

Freya had chosen the single bedroom on the second floor that was right across from a second living space. A light grey sectional with red throw pillows divided the space between the bedroom and the flat screen.

Freya's door was slightly cracked but I didn't want to barge in. "Freya are you up?" I asked as I knocked on the door. It opened even more revealing a sound asleep Freya halfway under the thick white and beige comforter. She looked so beautiful sleeping. Her hair wrapped in a high bun, just like my sisters, with a yellow silk scarf. I studied her as she lay there unaware I was even there. Her arm lay across her body with her elbow directly on the curve of her hip. My eyes lowered as far as she was visible then something caught me attention. Something didn't seem normal. "Wait....is she...?" I whispered to myself, but I think she heard me. The sound of morning confusion ruffled through the tropical smelling room as she moved into a stretch.

"Rory...what are you doing in here?" Freya asked as she rubbed her sleepy eyes.

I had to hurry and find my words. Say something you idiot before she thinks you were watching her sleep! "Ummmm....your aunt made us breakfast and wanted me to get everyone! I didn't know you were sleeping." 

Good save! Next time, please play it cool.

"Oh ok! I'll be down in 2 minutes."

I closed Freya's door behind me and headed back downstairs. The sound of a hungry circus traveled through the stairs as I headed down. Everything still looked the same just a full kitchen.

"Wait so you had this house built Aunt Jen?" Ivy asked stuffing her face with sopping wet syrup filled waffles and bacon.

"Yes lovely! I knew it would come in handy when things like this happened."
