The tale of two sisters
Nicole and Tarryn where two normal sisters. nothing was special about them. Tarryn was a bit of a nerd and loved to learn new things as did Nicole. Both Tarryn and Nicole shared passion for a TV show called Charmed. They adored the daily thrills of the Halliwell sisters, the battles, the emotions, the love stories everything. Most of all the witch craft. They often pretended they had powers and could orb and move things with there minds. They wished there lives could be like Piper, Phoebe and Paige. They even related to the sisters some how. Nicole was mostly like the oldest sister Piper. Caring, loving and always willing to fight for those she loves but most of all she loved to cook.. Nicole's cake won first place in a school cookery compotation. Whereas Tarryn related to the youngest sister Paige. Free, stubborn, caring, clumsy, fun loving but most of all sarcastic and funny. Both of the sisters where very clumsy and it usually ended up with one of them getting hurt but soon after they would be in stitches of laughter. They both had their own personality and voice of opinion. The love these two sisters shared for each other was more than you can imagine.
Nicole being the older sister always looked out for Tarryn in her times of need. Tarryn did the same whenever Nicole was in doubt Tarryn as there willing to lend a hand. They spend weekends hanging out together going to the movies with what money they had left. They where inseparable. Their love for one another was tested often. When Nicole was just 5 and Tarryn just 3 nearly 4 their father left and her mother and the two sisters where left to fend for themselves. Life was hard. Nicole remembered the day well. Their mother and father where fighting again. He stormed out of the room and got the car keys and drove off and never came back. Nicole can remember the look on her fathers face when he left, the sound of her mother crying and the screeching of the tyres outside pulling out the driveway and then silence. Their mother didn't stop crying for 3 days straight. It was horrible. Tarryn didn't understand what was going on but Nicole did. Daddy wasn't coming back
When Nicole turned 10 she got her first job. Everyday after school she would go down to the local corner shop and help stack shelves and mark products. And for this she got paid 15 pounds a week. Tarryn got her first job at the age of 9 and went down with Nicole everyday after school to the corner shop. They worked 5 hours a day then rushed home to complete homework. Their mother didn't work, she didn't even try.
One day Tarryn got cornered by an older girl. This was not a surprise as the sisters went to a public school called DSS. The students in it where always willing to pick a fight to appear stronger and impress their friends and Tarryn was often the target. They called her a slut and asked her to fight. Tarryn did nothing.
"come on yah worthless piece of shit…lets see what you got?" said the older girl said pushing Tarryn into a wall.
"What's your problem skank?!" Tarryn yelled in her own defence. Nicole was chatting to a couple of her friends on the other side of the playground but still saw her sister getting pushed around.
"oh god" Nicole said to herself. Nicole rushed over to where Tarryn was and stood in front of her.
"If you want to get to her your gonna have to get through me! Huh? What you say bitch come on!" Nicole looked the other girl straight in the eye
"Jeez calm down yah?" the other girl said shakily
"why you picking on me then? You think im weak? Go on then if you want to hurt me why aint you doin it?" said Tarryn folding her arms and standing next to her sister.
The girl hesitated
"nah you two aint worth the effort" she said as she walked away.
"chicken" Nicole mumbled under her breath. Tarryn laughed and gave Nicole a well deserved hug.
"you okay sis?" Nicole asked
"yah im fine…thanks to you" Tarryn said beaming at her older sister. The bell went for lunch break where the student had the option of going home for an hour and then coming back for their last two periods.
"shall we go home yah?" Nicole said chewing on a piece of gum.
"ummm…okay" said Tarryn. They grabbed there heavy bags and started to walk down the hill to their home. The house was not much to look at. Just a plain white, old, tatty house. Tarryn sighed and looked up at their home.
"what's up sis?" Nicole looked at her sister
"nothing its just…I feel like we do everything and mum does nothing to help us" Tarryn said looking down at her feet as she walked.
"Im sick of it too…your right its not fair mum does nothing and we do everything" moaned Nicole as she pulled a hair bobble out of her silky black hair and slamming down her school bag onto the couch.
"Its been like this our whole lives…ever since dad left…do you even remember what he looked like?" Tarryn said putting her school bag down next to Nicole's
"yes, unfortunately" laughed Nicole
"did you bring home some milk like I asked?!" yelled their mother from the TV room
Nicole gave Tarryn a terrified look "did you?" whispered Nicole.
Tarryn shoke her head and looked scared.
"N…no mum im sorry I forgot" whimpered Tarryn
"GOOD FOR NOTHING KIDS!" Screamed their mother
Tarryn jumped and Nicole took her defensive position and stood in-between her sister and her mum. Their mum pulled herself up with a grunt out of the arm chair moving towards the two sisters.
"you two never do what I ask you too" their mother waved her chubby finger at them getting closer
Nicole and Tarryn moved backwards in fright.
"We do EVERYTHING around here! We work and pay the bills! Hardly getting time for school work! Its time you do something rather than sitting here on your arse all day!" screamed Nicole
"HOW DARE YOU!" screamed their mother as she gave Nicole a hard whack on the face
Nicole held her left cheek in shock as her cheek redden so did Tarryn watched as a tear fell down Nicole's red cheek.
"How dare we? HOW DARE YOU! YOU'RE the reason daddy left!! YOU'RE the reason we don't have any money! YOU'RE the reason were living in the shitty house!! WE BLAME YOU FOR EVERYTHING!" screamed Tarryn stepping in front of her older sister.
Their mother looked astonished and grabbed Tarryn's arm and bent it back and held it there. Tarryn screamed in pain and tears rolled down her cheeks. Nicole gathered up her courage and ran full force into her mothers body and caused her to be flung over the couch with a bang. She stopped moving. Was she dead?
"Nicole…what have you done!?" cried Tarryn holding her arm
"I…I…I didn't mean to…she was hurting you and I needed to stop her" Nicole panicked. Tarryn moved towards their mums lifeless body on the floor Nicole following her ever step. Tarryn crouched down and felt for her mothers pulse.
"Oh My God" Tarryn screamed and moved back from her mother in disbelief. She was dead. They had killed her.
