Chapter 2: Thinking Back
(This chapter goes into a lot of things. Character relationships, a lot of things. A bad internet conncetion prevented me from uploading this sooner. There may also be more character POV's instead of third person soon. R&R.)
Jasmine and Isaac both glanced at Anna, which made Anna uncomfortable. Matthew and May both watched this with interest because there was always something going on when they came to visit.
"Well, it's true! There's no good reason to dwell in the past. I'm only saying this for your own well-being!" Anna exclaimed defensively as tears brimmed in her eyes.
"Fine… I'm only going to let this slide once for your sake. Don't overdo it when you start crying, okay?" Jasmine remarked as she briefly hugged her mother.
"You promised that you won't overreact to things anymore. You do remember that, right?" Isaac questioned with a smile on his face.
"Don't make me worry like that!"
Jasmine sighed as she walked towards of the front door of her home. Isaac stared at the ground, trying to hide his best to hide the look of regret on his face. If Anna noticed then Isaac would never hear the end of it. Just because I promised you that I would try to be nice to my sister does not mean that I want to leave my kid alone with her. Mathew was silent through all this and felt a slight twinge of sympathy for Jasmine. May watched her twin brother with curiosity because he had thoughtful look on his face. May continued to make a loud obnoxious humming sound which interrupted Matthew's thoughts. Matthew flipped around and glared at her.
"Can't you be quiet and let me have some time to think in peace? I promise I'll play with you later." Matthew whispered, an annoyed tone in his voice.
"Wha-"
"Be quiet!"
Matthew strained to hear the conversation from where he standing. May struggled to breathe with the piece of cloth that Matthew had shoved in her mouth
"I already told you that I'll be fine. It's not your fault that you have to go to pick up Nii-chan at practice." Jasmine pointed out she swung the door open, her small hand gripping the brass doorknob.
"Jasmine… You don't have to-
"I'll be fine… Besides, today is the day I get to go fishing with Uncle Al, so there's nothing to worry about. There also happens to be certain person that doesn't respect the simplicity of doing nothing that will also go unnamed." Jasmine explained as she glared at the door.
"We need to leave now or we'll be late." Anna pointed out as she ushered Isaac out the door.
"Sayonara." Jasmine called out as she closed the door.
Jasmine sighed as she flopped down the couch. Matthew moved away from May and stood near Jasmine. Onee-chan really hates it when Mom comes over to visit doesn't she? Matthew gave Jasmine's arm a slight shove, in case she had fallen asleep.
A loud beeping noise emmited from somewhere in the rooms of the large house. May covered her ears and screamed in fear. Matthew glared at his younger and fought the urge to hit her with a nearby pillow. Caroline walked into the living room with her eyes wide with suprise while Doyle stood beside her, sliently taking everything in.
"Well, you all might as well follow since it may concern whether or not that it may be safe to stay here." Jasmine remarked as she shuffled towards the stairs to the sub-basement.
The room was quiet as the twins, Carol and Doyle stared at the immense room. Relief flooded through Jasmine's body as she realized that she had to do less talking. The less talking she had to do, the more time she had to disable the home alarm system temporaily. Jasmine scanned the information on the large computer and sighed. Of all the times, she had to have a visit... Why today? Jasmine started to pace back and forth towards the room, wondering if there was a possible way to avoid her aunt.
"You're acting quiet. There's something on your mind isn't there?"
Jasmine turned around was face to face with her Uncle Al. Al grimanced slightly as he noticed that his older sister was in the room... How did Isaac react to this? Chills went down Al's spine as he felt his sister's cold glare. Carol hasn't changed at all since we were kids, she's actually gotten worse over the years...
~Two hours later~
Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief as she made herself more comfortable in her lounge chair. The fresh air that softly brushed her hair against her cheek. The birds were chirping loudly, soaring high over the trees. Jasmine then squinted and tried her best to choke back her laughter.
"Hey, do you think that the best place for a pigeon is in the middle of lake?" Jasmine asked as she adjusted her grip on the fishing pole.
"What do you mean by that? Oh... stupid pigeon, go back to Central Park." Al muttered as he glanced at the water.
"So, what you guys doing?" May inquired loudy as she stared at Jasmine and Al in thier lounge chairs.
"Oh great, Carol #2."
Al muttered as got up to recast the line of the fish pole.
Jasmine slowly got up to pull in the fish that she had caught while she tried to shake the feeling that something was wrong. The feeling of being of watched. Would Jasmine ever stop sensing that feeling? May glanced at Jasmine, wondering why she had a had a look of regret on her face. A loud beeping brought Jasmine back to reality and Jasmine started to bite her lip. There was bad news... There had always been bad news that yet to be broken in... Always.
"Stop being so parnoid. It's probably just a false alarm."
"You better be right about this." Jasmine remarked, a sour tone in her voice as she started to walk towards the front of the campsite.
Jasmine rolled her eyes as she noticed the Saturdays' DRV come to up to a stop. Let's see if he finally had the guts to admit that those 'special' powers of his are to starting to come back... I highly doubt that he has stopped being a coward since the last time I've seen him. Jasmine was silent as she watched the people step out into the open. May came up from behind and pressed her head behind Jasmine's waist. Isaac looked up from his vegetable roll and glanced at Jasmine. This will not end well for her. Jasmine knelt down and petted Komodo while she ingored Zak's glare.
"Why are you always ingoring me?" Zak asked loudly, remembering that Jasmine had always treated him coldly.
"She probably doesn't like you because you're afriad of a lot things." May blurted out as she snuck a peek at the look on Zak's face.
"Well, it's-
"Don't bother, she's only six. The more you try to contrict her the more she'll talk." Carol called out loudly as she glanced at the food on the grill.
"You'll never understand what I've been through." Jasmine pointed out slowly, avoiding looking at anyone.
