Chapter 12
"Thank God!" Melissa proclaimed when she entered the kitchen at breakfast."What?" Corbin asked when he swallowed his Coco Puffs.
"It's the last day without powers!" Melissa exclaimed grabbing a box of Corn Flakes.
"You do know that means that we face Him tomorrow?" Corbin pointed out before taking another bite of his Coco Puffs.
"Thank you Mr. Pessimist." Melissa said slamming the fridge door after grabbing the milk.
"Hey, I didn't want you to get your hopes too high." Corbin shrugged. Sierra walked in and could sense Melissa's down mood.
"What's wrong now?" Sierra asked exasperatedly.
"Corbin's just making me sad after I was in such a good mood." Melissa said grumpily sitting down at the table.
"Oh, if that's it." Sierra responded putting some bread in the toaster and getting the butter out of the fridge.
"Have you guys seen Kail?" Corbin asked changing the subject.
"No…why?" Melissa snapped still angry at Corbin.
"No reason. He must have slept in." Corbin shrugged finishing his breakfast. He put his bowl in the sink and left the room.
"Aren't you happy? Today's the last day." Sierra said trying to figure out Melissa's bad mood.
"Yes, or at least I was until Corbin pointed out that tomorrow's the day." Melissa angrily explained.
"Oh. It won't be that. I hope." Sierra tried to lighten the situation.
"Oh yeah, fighting the most evil Serent will be a piece of cake." Melissa joked sarcastically her happy mood returning.
Jamie walked in to the living room, after taking a rest, and joined Katherine who was watching TV.
"Are you feeling better?" Katherine asked Jamie hopefully as she sat down.
"Yeah, I guess I am if you though something was wrong." Jamie mumbled grabbing the remote from Katherine and changing the channel.
"Are you sure you're better? You seem very angry." Katherine questioned not convinced that everything was okay.
"Listen, I'm fine. Stop asking me questions and let me watch TV." Jamie snapped suddenly at Katherine who shut up instantly. Something's wrong and I will find out what. Katherine thought starring at Jamie for a second, glad she couldn't hear her thoughts. The last day without powers went on basically in silence.
"I'm so hungry. When was the last time we ate?" Sara groaned slumpind donw on the cot she was provided.
"We have only had four meals this week. The last one was…yesterday? I don't know." Callie responded while she paced the room for the hundredth time that week.
"Only four?!" Sara yelled angrily. She marched over to the door and started banging on it and yelling "Give me food! I'm starvning!"
"That's not going to he…" Callie began being cut off by the door being opened.
"What are you complaining about food for? Tomorrow, you and your family will die. Why don't you worry about that instead of bothering us?" a Serent asked angrily. He left slamming the door behind him and Sara slammed her fist on the door.
"Maybe we wouldn't complain if you fed us!" Sara yelled back. Callie walked over and stopped her from banging on the door further.
"Stay calm. That will not get us food or get us out of here." Callie said calming Sara down.
"It might! Okay, I'll calm down. I'm just tired of this. I can't wait until it's all over." Sara calmed herself down. A hard, quick knock on the door made both girls jump.
"Here. Food. Now stop complaining," the Serent from before growled handing them each a plate of food and a water bottle. He walked out of the room, slamming the door behind him like before.
"Food!" Sara yelled happily and started eating. Callie laughed at Sara before eating her food too.
"It did work." Sara said happily between bites.
"That's probably the only time." Callie mumbled under her breath so Sara couldn't hear. They were both relieved to finally get food so they weren't as weak for tomorrow, the day that no one wanted to happen, but had to.
Martinial sat in his chair with some of his Serents.
"Tomorrow they will all try to get rid of me. I'd like to see them try. I will destroy them like I did their parents. Kill them all when they attack, except Sara. I'm going to keep her…alive" Martinial ordered. The other Serents nodded and left the room.
"Tomorrow will be a living hell for those girls and with their sisters at my side, they'll fall down begging to live. I'd like to see that, and I will. Tomorrow will be a great day." Martinial planned with himself.
