The Truth About Erica

Chapter 8

      Right before we crashed we found ourselves in the present. We were in a normal car and back where we started. We all climbed out of the car and I lead them to my house.

   We walked in and my mother sat at the table sipping tea.

   She looked up. "Oh Hello Erica, Zoe, Micheal, and Benjimin! I see you have brought Lily! It so nice to see you my darling!"

   "Mother" she nodded her head slightly as if to say hello. "We ran into Mase" Catherine gasped. "Yea tried to kill me. Mase is nothin like he was before"

   "Why do you still call him Mase?" I asked loudly.

   "Because no matter what he did he is still my brother and I care for him." Lily stormed off.

   "Ugh. Little sisters" Zoe followed Lily before I could tell her to leave my sister alone.

Lily's point of view

   I stormed into my room and opened my secret door. I closed it and climbed the ladder into the old bedrooms. I walked into Mason's bedroom and sat on his bed. I let a tear fall down my cheek and I sit there, crying. I think of how Mason and I would play tag in the yard. When a car would come he would pick me up and carry me like a sack of potatoes to the grass.

   I smile as I think about when I was younger. Mason and Erica don't see eye to eye and he never seemed to have a connection with Trixie. As much as I hate to admit it, Trixie is older than me. That may be a reason why Mason liked me more, he wanted to protect his littlest sister. 

   But when your brother tries to harm...well, when your brother changes he becomes your enemy when he used to be your best friend. She thinks back to when she was as carefree as the wind. She would run in bare feet across the yard with Trixie and Erica would chase them. Mason was at his friend Bella's house. He had spent a lot of time with Bella. It was my fault he hates us so much. I had been feeling angry at him because he never wanted to play with me. I snapped when I was ten.

   Mason drove home and Bella next to him. They pulled up in a small grey car and I was standing in my bare feet waiting for them to arrive. I ran down the wooden steps and up to Mason. I hugged him and he hugged me back for a sec then picked me up and made me eye to eye with Bella. She had blue eyes and blonde hair. Her hair was in a fancy braid and I said, "You have pretty hair" 

   "Thanks. Why do you have no shoes on? You are gonna get something lodged in your foot"

   Without another word Mason carried me like a sack of potatoes into the house. Bella didn't seem to like the idea of him caring me, but Mason didn't notice. We ate dinner and then the trouble started.
