"COME ON OPAL! STOP!"
"WHAT? I'm not doing anything!" The other girl said while showing teeth in a mischievous grin.
"Yes You Are! You did it before too!" Her companion complained.
Two teen girls 14 and 15 sat in the middle of the floor. The candlelight flickered across the black and white board at which they sat around.
"Come on Ivy, you know this game is full of shit! I don't know why you don't scry instead." She told her raven-haired companion.
Ivy glared at her sibling.
" Why do you have to ruin the moment? Why can't we just do it for fun? Anyway, how did you know I liked Kole?"
Opal looked at the floor and grinned once again.
" Anyone with a pair of eyes and brains could figure that out" The brown-haired girl informed her sister. "- You always go really quiet around him and blush. You should ask him to the spring dance! Guys can't turn down girls unless they already have a date, you know." Wavy brown hair covered half of her face, hiding almost-black eyes.
Opal Greene was a tall, artistic girl. She was thin but had tight abs and was stronger than most guys. She kept to herself and had few friends, not because she was mean, because people thought her weird. She was a Wiccan, she wore black almost all the time, she excelled in everything she did, and she didn't talk a lot. Long, pale fingers traced the letters on the board. She looked up when her sister expelled a sigh.
" I did ask him to the dance, " Ivy began
" You didn't tell me!" Opal cut in."-Come on Ivy, we're sisters, never mind best friends! You have to tell me these things!" Her dark eyes stared into her friends green ones. She hated when Ivy kept her in the dark, she always wanted to know what was going on in the world, even if it was Ivy's. "- I told you about Nathan! That's not fair!"
"- I know, I'm sorry, but I was afraid you were gonna pull some stunt like you did with Zack." Smiles crept onto both girls' faces as they remembered.
Opal had tried to 'help' Zack acknowledge her best friend by pushing him straight into Ivy.
"If only I had looked at you before," She sighed. "-I still feel really bad about that. Did you ever get the stains out?" Opal asked.
Ivy shook her head. " We had to throw the shirt away, we tried everything but the paint wouldn't come out."
She remembered loosing her balance as she was crashed into and fell into the freshly painted brick wall.
" I'm sorry, I was only trying to help though."
" Yea I know! Like mom says, life's a bitch. Anyway I believe we were talking about Kole. He was already going with someone else." Ivy pushed black hair out of her face.
Ivy Greene was a pinch shorter than her sister and excelled in sports. She decided to work out everyday since the age of ten, when she was almost molested. She looked almost nothing like her sister, long raven black hair was tucked behind her ears, showing her hazel eyes and long thin nose, (this is was one of the two traits she shared with her sister.) her thin lips formed a frown when she continued. "He was already asked out by Niki."
"Wait, Niki Smith? Are you kidding me? Does he know she's a bitch?"
Opal's pouty red lips formed a snarl. The Rumors that had been going around school were that Niki used and abused her last 'boyfriend' by cheating on him.
Opal had first-hand experience with the bitch, Niki always called her 'Goth', 'devil worshiper' and crap like that. The names didn't bother Opal, but when Niki had started calling her little sister a whore she beat the crap out of the girl. She always glared at Niki if she pasted by.
" Come on, lets try again, this time it's you're turn to ask a question." Ivy said.
"Ok, how about what's our dads name?" Opal gave her sister a look. They both joined hands and spoke at the same time.
" Mother Goddess who created all, please help answer our question. Give us the power to see and know the truth. What is our fathers name?" They waited, staring at the board.
Nothing happened for a few minutes. But, surprise, surprise! The planchette moved- all by itself.
S-E-V-E-R-U-S
It stopped, and then continued.
S-N-A-P-E
The sisters stared at each other in wonder, absorbing this newfound information when a large crash was heard from down stairs. They both got up and swiftly exited the room.
"What was that?" Ivy asked her sister, a look of worry crossed her usually expressionless face.
" I don't know, let's go find out. Wait, do you have your knife? Good." They both opened their switchblades. (A gift their uncle bought them, their mom disapproved but allowed them to keep the blades.)
The hall was dark, as well as the rest of the house. Sharon Greene, their mother, was working late that night. Opal crossed the hall and was followed by Ivy. They both blended in well with the darkness.
"Do you hear that?" Opal asked her sister quietly. Her sharply tuned ears had picked up the sound of low voices.
Ivy nodded.
" Let's get out of here. What if they come upstairs? We won't have anywhere to run. They sound like men. Let's go to Chris's house, he'll take us in." Ivy whispered in a fearful rush.
Opal loved her sister, and knew ever since Ivy was ten, she had been scared of men.(despite how she tried not to show it.) she was the older sister, she needed to take care of her sister.
"Ok." Opal replied."- Do you have a cell? We would need to call mom."
Ivy nodded once more.
They both started creeping down the stairs, hand in hand.
CREEEEEEEEAAKKK!
The stairs squealed.
The low voices stopped talking.
The sisters made a dash for the door.
A man from head-to-toe in black except for a black mask stepped in front of them, blocking their escape.
" BACK DOOR!" Opal pulled her sister along with her as they sprinted to the back of the house.
The door was two feet away.
One.
The cool night air pressed against their faces, and slowly calmed their pounding hearts.
They paused for a second to catch their breath.
A second was all that was needed.
The last thing the sisters' saw before black was the ground rushing to meet them.
