The Serpent Queens(On Hold)

36: It was self-defense, right?

"I love you," Betty said kissing me as i button my shirt up "can you zip me up?" Betty asked turning around, helping her zip up her just i turned her around kissing her one last time "do you really have to go back tonight why not stay with me?" I asked as i walked with her down the stairs "my mom would have a fit if she finds out that i was here, along with you"

"Your mom just doesn't like me do she?"

"No she's growing to like you but she can't stand Mel tho" Betty said and i started laughing, Betty just doesn't know why Alice hates Mel, maybe that's the reason why she doesn't like Hermione either. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing i just can't believe this is your first time you were amazing?" i said and she shoved me playfully as we walked towards her house. "You better be lucky i love you," Betty said and i stopped in front of her kneeling down, i could see her having trouble walking with those heels on. "what?"

"Get on?" i said pointing to my back "no"

"Would you just hop on?" i said as i kept pointing to my back after hearing Betty sigh she got on as i headed towards the house. "So can i come in for something to drink?" i asked Betty as i sat her down on the porch "yeah of course, come in" Betty said as we walked inside the door and saw Alice on the floor cleaning up the blood.

Closing the door behind us and locking it i walked closer to Alice. "What... What happened?" Betty asked Alice as she grabbed my hand i moved closer to Alice "No, no, Don't come any closer don't-don't touch anything. "Alice stammers as we stood there watching her clean up blood that's oozing from an unknown guy head. "He tried to hurt me and Chic, your brother-" Alice started as Betts pulled out her phone.

"No, no, what are you doing?"

"I'm calling the police!"

"No, don't do that. Do not do that!"

"Mom, there's a man on our floor!"

"If the police come, they're gonna take Chic away from me and I won't let that happen again. Mary please. Help me or call your sister" Alice said pleading towards me. "I'm not calling my sister and Betts.. well, if it was self-defense, It was self-defense, right?" i asked as Alice stood up with the blood-soaked towels "Yes, of course, it was but it won't matter." Alice said throwing towels away.

"What do we do? " Betts asked looking from me to Alice. "Just go to your room. You didn't see anything."

"Mom, let me help you."

"No, honey. It's better if you're not involved." Alice said and Betts phone ringed "It's Dad." she said looking down at her phone "Don't answer it."

"What if he comes?"

"Yes, you're right. Answer. Just... Just act like everything is normal."

"Hi , Dad, what's up? Oh. Okay, I'll see you in a bit." she said answering her phone "Please tell me he's not coming here." Alice said as she got back on the floor and started cleaning "Uh, he needs toiletries. He says he doesn't wanna get in a fight with you."

"Betty!"

"Alice, we don't know how much time we have. Please just let me help you." i said and after a few minutes she nodded "first you can't through away those towels you have to burn them and after we are done cleaning this we have to go over the floor and every spot that the blood hit we have to use ammonia on it" i said taking off my jacket and shoes and throwing them to the side, rolling up my sleeves, grabbing some gloves and getting on the floor I started helping Alice.

"Betts get the bleach that can work for now will let that air out tonight but we have to get that ammonia i have some at my place"

"Where's the bleach?" Betts asked looking at her mom "Bleach is under the sink" Alice said as we continued to clean. As we continue to clean we heard the sound of something falling almost like drums "what was that?" Bett asked as we looked towards the direction of the sound "i don't know just keep cleaning" i said turning back towards the mess.
