Chapter One : The Lawson Sisters
Flashback
"I don't understand all this time, all this years you didn't think once, not once that it was important to tell me that i'm a abomination" Rin screamed at her father, hands and face covered in the blood of people she knew, people from the town that had all been possessed. The sheer rage running through her body made the tears welling up in her eyes impossible to hold back. Her hand grip firmly around a sword that was inside of its sheath. She silenced herself other than her heavy breathing waiting for her father to answer her. Victor look at his daugher with fury and purpose.
"It was my job to protect you, to allow you to lead a normal life, to be like everyone else,you didn't need to know, I am your father and I don't need to explain myself to you" he roared back at her, ending the sentence by spitting blood from his mouth down onto the concrete floor of the church below
"But that's just it, your telling me your not my father, thats what youre saying isn't it ?" Rin cried back. "And this "Normal life, your talking about, how the hell has my life been normal, after mum died when I was 5 we've been looking for the thing that did it and had my ass kicked by monsters ever since, how is that normal, most people don't even believe in the things I have to do everyday". Rin ran towards her father, pounding her fists against his chest screaming from the top her lungs
"I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU " she repeatedly yelled over and over again while her tightened fists pounded against Victor over and over again.
"Rivenna stop, stop this right now" Victor said grabbing her wrist to stop the pounding, he looked down at his daughter, broken and betrayed staring at the ground below. "I am your father and we will get through this as a family" he said softly to her.
Rin renched her wrist from her father's grasp and made a quick left hook that collided with Victors jawbone sending the older man flying backwards. She raised her eyes from the floor and contended them to Victor's.
"You are no father of mine" she said low and gruff. She turned her back towards her father, sword in hand "Don't try to follow me, Im leaving and I never want to see you again". As she began to walk away she felt a sudden familiar surge of heat trail itself up her back. She turned around eyes filled with horror as she watched her father go up in flames. She began running towards him
"DAD"
End of flashback
"DAD"
Rin bolted upright out of bed and reached for the gun under her pillow only to realise that she was dreaming. She looked around the grubby motel room as she wiped the sweat that was pouring down her forehead. After she realised that everything was ok she let out a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
All of a sudden the lamp next to her switched on. She moved her head so she could she the light that was now stinging her eyes. As she looked over she saw her younger sister Zelda awake on the other bed, she was the one who had turned on the light. The younger sibling looked towards her sister with a worried expression pasted onto her face.
"Nightmares again?" she questioned
"Im fine Zed" Rin replied "Just go back to sleep"
"You know at some point we're gonna have to talk about this" Zed prompted towards her sister. Rin turned away from Zed and layed back down in bed, wriggling to get comfortable once more to no avail as the mattress springs where digging into her side.
"Goodnight Zed" she said in a sarcastic tone trying to defuse the situation. Zed huffed and turned the lamps off, then proceeded to lay herself back down in her own bed. Zed looked up at the ceiling once more before opening her mouth
"It's been 9 years Rin, why wont you tell me what happened that night" Zed asked. She waited for her sisters responds only to be greeted with a elaborate fake snoring noise coming from Rin's side of the room. Zed turned to acknowledge the noise, the rolled over onto her side and falling into a deep sleep.
*Morning*
Rin kicked open the door of the motel room, holding a coffee in each hand and a brown paper bag containing a danish roll inside between her teeth. In doing so she knocked the rusted brass room number of '69' off the hinges and onto the floor. Zed, who had now been awake for a few hours and was sitting at her laptop doing research, looked up from screen to see her sister in a less that flattering position. Rin looked down at the numbers then back up to her sister, she smiled bag between teeth still and let out laugh insinuating the dirty meaning of 69.
"Real mature Rin" Zed said as her sister handed her a slightly squashed disposable coffee cup.
"Oh come on that's hilarious and you know it" Rin replied removing the paper bag from between her teeth. She then proceeded to place her coffee on the nightstand and remove the danish from the bag and began shoveling it into her mouth. Zed looked her sister slightly grossed out at how she could eat something so fast but remain so slender in figure.
"Where mine?" Zed asked as she peered into the brown paper bag that had now been dicareded onto the floor of the motel room. Rin looked down at the bag and then back up at her sister, cheeks puffed out like a hamster from the pastiery in her mouth.
"Oh I'm sorry, this was the last one" she said spitting crumbs out of her mouth.
"Then the other halfs mine then" Zed said reaching her hand out towards her sister. Rin looked down at her hand then at her sister hand outstretched towards, she looked up at her sister locking eyes with and then quickly shoveled the remainder of the danish into her mouth, and smiled a big cheeky grin. Zed stared at her.
"Fine…..slut" she said
"Whore" Her sister replied with the same smug smile on her lips. Zed couldn't help but smile along. As she returned her eyes to the screen in front of her, ready to tell her idiot older sister about her findings.
"So im thinking i've found us a case" she began " Harvey Scott a real estate banker from Minnesota was found dead in his home, his wife found him after she returned home from work, and all the doors and windows where locked from the inside"
"Oh oh let me guess, it was Reverend Green in the library with the lead pipe" Rin enthusiastically stated towards her sister who looked completely unimpressed with her pridantics. "Oh come on Zed the wife probably was in on it and paid some sad bastard to gank the guy, this isnt are thing" Rin said stepping up from the bed she was perched on.
"Normally I would agree, if it wasn't for how he died" Zed retorted
"How the guy die" Rin questioned
"Well the doctors are saying some kind of massive stroke…."Zed started
"But…." Rin interrupted making a circular motion with her hand, insinuating that she wanted her sister to get to the point.
"But…...i've never heard of a stroke that liquify your eyeballs and blow your eardrums clear out of your head, have you ?" Zed finished smirking towards her sister.
"Ewwwww…..gross, ok i'll bite" Rin said grabbing her car key and throwing her red cotton jacket over her shoulders. "Where to then watson" she asked her sister.
"Maple grove it's about a twenty minute drive" Zed replied shoving her laptop into her leather satchel and then grabbing her own black coat. As the Rin opened the door, Zed grabbed her by the shoulder making her turn back towards her sister.
"Hey can i drive?" Zed politely asked. Rin looked at her sister and laughed
"Ha...haha, Fuck no" She replied leaving her sister with a frown on her face "Come on let go" and the motel door slammed behind them.
