Siblings Are Really Forever
Prologue
An emerald eyed and brown haired girl sets down her pencil and sit back groaning, rubbing her tired eyes.
"Out of all the flowers you could have chosen,Linette." She mutters to herself. "You had to pick the one that wilts within a few hours of it's picking."
She closes her eyes and leans her head back on her chair, listing for the soft sounds of her twin brother, Linebeck, playing on his guitar.
Silence.
"Strange..." Linette mummers. "Where on earth-" She smacks her forehead. "Alright Scatterbrain, you forgot he was at Max's house working on that school project of theirs."
Linette lifts up her head and her gaze falls back on the flower. "You know." She starts, picking up the flower, "Even with it's annoying habit of wilting so soon, the Bleu Tala is still a beautiful flower, so many shades of blue in one flower."
Angry voices below interrupt Linette musings.
"I thought I told you to stay away from us, Jolon!" Marlene, Linette and Linebeck's mother shouts.
Jolon. Linette's blood goes cold as a tremor of fear shoots through her as she replaces the flower in the vase.
"He's a very dangerous man." Marlene constantly warned whenever the man came up.
Their father had finally found them again.
"Like that would stop me?" Jolon laughs. "Now where are the twins? I want to say hello."
"They're not home." Marlene half-way lies. "And even if they were, you'd never see them!"
"Liar." Jolon hisses, his voice becoming dangerous sounding. "I know Linette is home. Where. is. Linebeck?"
Linette knew she had to escape, but how?
The answer came to her instantly.
A tree had grown right beside her brother's window. The twins have used it constantly to get in and out of the house and avoid their mother at the same time. Now if she could just get out quietly...
"Just leave us alone Jolon!" Marlene yells. "I won't tell you anything."
"Fine, I'm sure Linebeck will chase after his sister." Jolon says.
"What are you meaning? Point that gun away from-" A sharp bang cuts off Marlene's voice.
Linette had to cover her mouth to stop from screaming at the sound. "Mum..." She thinks, tears beginning to well up in her eyes.
A deadly silence falls upon the house before Jolon's footsteps begin walking towards the steps.
Linette knew that she needed to get out of there and she needed to get out of there now.
She bolts out of her chair, knocking it over in the process, and bolts for Linebeck's bedroom door.
Jolon was about to the top when Linette practically slams into the door. She jiggles the knob frantically. Locked.
"Perfect!" Linette snarls in her head.
ANother shot rings out and a streak appears on Linebeck's door, making Linette scream. She grabs the small potted plant up there and throws it at Jolon.
His grunt of surprise was all Linette needed to dart towards him. She pushed by him, shoving him into the hallway wall and clatters down the steps.
Suddenly, her feet catch on something at the bottom and sends her flying. Linette lands on her knees, crying out in pain. She sits up and feels another scream building in her throat.
Her mother's emerald eyes stared at her, wide, glassy, and unblinking. Blood is pooling around her body.
The scream erupted from her throat and Linette scrambles to her feet, beginning to feel her body shaking.
"Come now, Linette." Jolon's voice floats down the steps. "Is that anyway to treat your father?"
Linette tries to shout at him that he was not her father but her throat didn't want to seem to work. All she managed to get out was hoarse cry.
"Linette." Jolon chuckled, shaking his head as he descends down the steps. He pushes aside Marlene with his foot and Linette shivers.
Linette darts her eyes towards the back door before dashing towards it.
"Just like your mother." Jolon sighs.
"Please let me make it, Please." Linette pleads in her head.
Another sharp bang in heard and Linette feels a blinding pain in her leg.
It buckles underneath of her and she collapses on the door, slamming her head on the doorknob. Blackness overtakes her as she hears Jolon's steps near her.
Upstairs, the Bleu Tala turns brown and droops, the petals falling onto the desk.
...
Woot for Original name for Linebecky now Linette! I never really realized her name did need to be changed from when I was coming out of the semi-good writing stage and thought that just adding the y was a good idea.
And don't worry, IIRY will be picking back up, next chapter!
See you then!
