Dear Sister

{sorry for the short chapter. I used a song for inspiration for this chapter and the songs pretty short so yeah}

When Peyton woke up her and Mina were still as close as can be, holding each other tightly. As much as Peyton didn't want to move she had to so she could check her emails. She gently moved Mina's arms and slid out of the warm bed, into the cold air that awaited her.

She retrieved her laptop from her bag, signed on and logged into her emails. Over half the emails she had were junk mail or talking about a sale going on at a store.

Then, she came across one with an unfamiliar sender named, but the weird thing was the persons last name was the same as her own. She clicked on it and read the email:

Dear Peyton,
I don't know if you remember me or even know I existed before this email was sent to you, but my name is Derek Barker. And I am your older brother. The reason you may not remember me is that I ran away before mom and dad were killed. You were only 9 at the time when I left.
But that's beside the point, because I came across your name when I was doing some research on our family history. I hope you don't mind that I'm contacting you now. Anyways, I know you're a hunter, as am I, so I know you know how to lie. This is all I ask of you, I need you to help me lie. The police are on my trail, I didn't do a clean job recently so they must've found fingerprints all over the place. I need you to lie to the police and tell them that I was with you the night of the kill.
Please, I'm begging at this point. I've been on this road alone for awhile, I can usually pull myself out of these things, but I've basically given up at this point. If you don't want to help, I understand since I abandoned the family and never came home, but just so you know that if you don't help I'm just not going to even try to run anymore. You don't even have to reply to this email if you don't want to help, but if you do want to lie for me then please do respond. That's all I ask of you.
I hope to actually talk to you soon. If not good luck in life.
Love, Derek

Peyton hadn't realized she had started crying because she remembered her brother leaving. The shouting that filled their small house, the slamming of doors and before she knew it he was gone. She was so angry at him for even trying to contact her. Why would he even have the nerve to try to find her? She was perfectly happy where she was then he had to come and fuck it up, just like he did to their family.

Peyton still remembered clearly why he left and what was said. Derek was furious with their parents because they wanted to train him to hunt, like them. He didn't want to be a hunter, he wanted to have a "normal fucking life" was the way he put it. Her father threatened him, saying that if he didn't hunt he wouldn't be allowed back in that household, because he wanted both his kids to grow up knowing how to protect themselves from the monsters that they assumed were in their closets and under their beds, from the real monsters that lurked in the forest. Derek wanted no part in it what so ever, there was more yelling involved before he stored up to his room, packed the things he really needed and left the house for good.
That event was always in her mind, so when her father told her that he was going to train her to be a hunter she obeyed what he wanted her to do.

Just thinking of the whole situation made Peyton's blood boil, her anger over took her and she lashed out. She swiped all the things, including her laptop, off the desk and onto the floor, which made her cry even harder. They weren't tears of sadness, they were pure anger.

Peyton stared at the broken pieces of computer, and the remanence of papers and other things on the desk, she slid down the wall with her knees up and forehead leaning against them. The laptop falling to the ground must've woken Mina up because she rushed over to the figure, sitting on the floor crying. She sat next to her and wrapped her arms around her, for comfort. "It's okay, it's going to be okay." She spoke softly, reassuring her.
