I can't remember what I wanted to say. LOL. Here's the next chappie :D

"I thought you quit!" Lilly screeched.

Julia had slinked off to her room and Michael was just standing there, staring at his "girlfriend" and her mother the entire time.

"It's only on occasion!" Sam shouted defensively; then butting out her cigarette.

"Same diff! You're still doing it! How would you feel if An knew you were doing this? Smoking up a storm in the house! You could at least go outside! You know how bad my asthma is!" the girl yelled, then crossed her arms.

Sam stuck another cigarette in her mouth and lit it. She took a short drag and exhaled. "Listen to me," she pointed at her daughter. "You are the child. I'm the parent. Don't tell me how to do my job." Sam said sternly.

The twelve-year-old girl didn't reply; she just stared at her mother, scared. Sam took another breath of the cigarette. She then looked down and pointed upstairs. "Go."

The two frightened pre-teens ran so quickly up the stairs, you could barely see them. The gothic woman heard the door slam and then took in another drag. She soon made her way to the dining room and took out a bottle of SKYY vodka from the wine cabinet. Sam snuffed out her barely used cigarette and threw it out. Next, she grabbed the bottle and chugged it.

It wasn't long before Sam was wasted. By that time, she was in their basement, surrounded by three empty bottles of vodka, twelve burned out cigarettes and two bottles of aspirin. She knew that this sort of thing might happen, so she took the medicine with her just in case. Except she never did use it. To her, the whole room was spinning and noises were very low. Soon, there was a faint sound of a door opening, then closing. Someone was getting closer. Whoever it was, Sam wanted to just kick their ass, except she was just too tired to deal with that. The alcohol and drugs were really messing with her head now. Out of the corner of her eye, Sam saw a small girl with black hair walking toward her. "Mom!" the girl screamed. "What did you do?!"

Then the darkness fell over Sam's eyes.

Sorry this chappie is so short! I wanted to make it longer, except then the suspense wouldn't keep up. Please work with me here. I promise you, that the next chapters will be a lot longer! Alright?
