Chapter 2
Lucy
Rea definitely did a good job of cleaning up my mess. I am a horrible cook! I'm serious! I can't even cook popcorn correctly! It's always burnt or there are too many cornels left or something! But since Rea got stuck with cleaning duty, I got stuck with dish washing duty; and since we don't have a dishwasher, I had to do them all by hand. And my good for nothing brother Jackson was lacking significantly in offers to help me.
"Luuucy!" I heard one of the little ones call.
"What do you need that is so important? I'm trying to do the dishes here!"
"There's someone at the door!"
Hmm. That was odd. Normally I could hear the doorbell ringing. I guess the sound of running water blocked it out.
"When'd they ring the doorbell?" I called out.
"They didn't," came the answer from the living room. "They're just here, standing outside house." My senses immediately went on high alert. My hands clenched and unclenched nervously. I dried them on a towel and timidly called the others into the kitchen. Well, all accept Jackson and Rea that is; Rea was still in the shower and Jack was upstairs doing god knows what.
"Stay in here," I said as I uneasily, but carefully, crept into the living room, and looked out the window.
Outside, just below our doorstep, I could see two buff men and a manly, but attractive woman. They were just watching the house, standing as still as statues. When they saw me at the window, they turned their heads, almost creepily in sync with each other, to face me. Then, still as one unit, they marched up the steps to the door and I heard the doorbell ring. The sound almost made me jump out of my skin. I was contemplating running upstairs to Rea, but that just seemed childish and stupid. We were both the same age, and she was the one taking a shower, leaving me in charge of the kids, which meant I had to do this.
I walked cautiously to the door as if it were a bomb. Then, I mentally slapped myself. I was acting like a baby! These people weren't going to hurt me! I straightened my back and took long steps towards the door, while inside my heart was racing. I reached the door, hesitated, then shook off the feeling and opened it.
A/N: Hey, its me again! (Abbl2). Sorry for the shortness of the chapter, i suppose alot of them will be like this.

Pretty Please with a cherry on top?
Anyway, the second chapter, all wrapped up just for you!
