Chapter Three
The ride back to the mansion was a peaceful one, for the most part. Calista spent the time explaining to Nemesis what happen during her first hour. Nemesis was *not* at all happy about it. This was quickly found out, when she caused a four car pile-up behind the black van. (A/N: Oops.) By the time they got back Nemesis got the biggest speach of her life, and when it was all over, she brushed it off as if it was nothing.
"Nemesis someone could have gotten seriously hurt." Mark exclaimed.
"Did anyone get hurt?" Nemesis asked calmly.
"Weather anyone got hurt or not is not the issue right now. What if someone did get hurt? Then what would you have done?" Mark asked. She had played this game with him before.
"I would have gone on with my life as if it never happened." Nemesis answered coldly.
"How in the hell can you be so cold-hearted?" Ryo asked stepping into the room.
"It comes with the territory." Nemesis answered.
"Well I think you're just a bitch." Ryo commented.
"Here we go with another clash of the personalities." Rowen mumbled.
"Well who asked for your input?" Nemesis asked.
"No one, but you got it anyway, so deal with it it." Ryo retorted.
Sage, being the quick thinker that he is, grabbed Ryo's arm. "Come on Ryo, let's get some sparring practice in before it get's too dark." Sage suggested. Ryo followed behind him, mumbeling incohearent nonsence. Nemesis headed upstairs babbling about guys being to full of themselves.
"It scares me how much a like those two are." Calista commented.
"I think it scares a lot of people." Cye said.
"I can just see those two getting into a fight to see who's better then the other." Eva said.
"That would be great." Sarah commented.
"No it wouldn't." Mark snapped.
"You two are such bakas." Johanna said.
"It's a good thing Ryo isn't telekenetic." Calista commented.
"That could get ugly." Kento stated. Nemesis walked back down stairs. She had changed out of her school uniform. She added some additions to herself. She had put her tongue ring and bellybutton ring back in. She was now in black baggy pant, and a tight shirt the showed off her well formed mid-drift. She walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. Her shirt come up high enough that it showed off her tattoo.
"I didn't know she had a tattoo." Cye said.
"She has two tattoos." Johanna informed him.
"Nemesis...where are you going?" Marked asked. When they didn't hear a reply, they all went into the kitchen to see if she was there. She wasn't. They quickly ran outside. They all saw that Ryo and Sage had stopped their sparring match. Nemesis had walked into the woods.
"She doesn't know her way through there." Rowen said.
"Gee...ya think blue boy." Sarah commented. Rowen was about to smack her. Luckily, Cye stopped Rowen before he or Sarah got hurt.
"Let her go in there and get lost." Ryo said. "It'll be her own damn fault."
"RYO SNANDA" Mia yelled.
Ryo cringed at the sound of his full name. "Fine I'm going."
"My sister doesn't need a babysitter." Calista stated.
"Well she doesn't know her way through there, and it's not that hard to get lost." Sage said.
"Oh...they have katanas." Eva said cheerfully.
"No...any form of weaponry is off limits to you." Mark sid to her. Eva began to pout. Calista, not wanting to be in the large crowd anymore, followed her sister into the woods.
"Nemesis....wait up." Calista called ahead to her sister. Nemesis heard her sister's call and stopped to wait for her. Calista cought up to her sister, panting for air.
"You should run more." Nemesis commented.
"Hey!" Calista said, playfully punching her sister in the arm. "I'm not a running person."
"Come on." Nemesis said, returning to her trudge through the woods again.
"Do you even know where you're going?" Calista asked.
Nemesis pondered this question before shaking her head. Calista didn't believe her for a minute.
"You snuck out last night, didn't you?" Calista asked. Nemesis smirked but nodded.
"How do you ever figure it out?" Nemesis asked sarcastically.
"For one, you are never in a place for more then twenty-four hours before knowing the entire layout. That and I heard the door open and shut last night." Calsita admitted.
"What makes you think I have to immediately know where everything is?" Nemesis asked.
"Because you do. That and you also have to be in control." Calista said, walking ahead of Nemesis.
"Well aren't you just a regular Sherlock Holmes." Nemesis retorted. Calista nodded with a big grin.
"Come on...I wanna show ya somethin'." Nemesis said, before sprinting away. Calista took off after her sister, just so she wouldn't get lost.
**back at the house**
"Great, now we lost both of them." Rowen said.
"It's not like it's a big loss." Ryo muttered.
"Ryo, we are supposed to be helping them." Cye stated.
"You aren't helping Nemesis." Johanna said.
"And what makes you so sure?" Kento asked.
"Because she only gets help on her terms, and these aren't her terms." Johanna stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Thats becacuse she perferes a boxing ring." Ryo said.
"How would you know?" Sarah snapped.
"Why else would she be so objective to talking out her problems." Ryo asked.
"Maybe because talking never gets you anywhere." Sarah retorted.
"Sraha shut up." Johanna shouted at her sister.
"Ryo just drop it." Cye said to his friend. Ryo glared at Sarah the turned away. That didn't make Sarah very happy. (A/N: Well would you be happy? I didn't think so.) Before she could do anything, Johanna and Eva were inbetween her and Ryo.
"So are we going to go look for Calista and Nemesis?" Sage asked.
"No, just leave them." Mark said. "They'll be fine."
"How do you know?" Mia asked her friend.
"Because I have no doubt that Nemesis has the entire layout of the area memerized." Mark commented.
"And when would she have done this?" Rowen asked.
"She probably snuck out of the house last night." Mark commented.
"It wouldn't be the first time." Johanna remarked.
"Well those two better get back soon to hear the news." Mark stated.
"Oh geez...you have news." Eva said. "Let us rejoice for you." Eva tworled her figure. "Okay...I'm done now." Sarah and Johanna laughed at her antics. Calista and Nemesis came out of the woods, and went over to the other teens.
"What's so funny?" Calista asked.
"Eva had a moment." Sarah replied.
"You mean she had a blonde moment, because that isn't hard for her." Nemesis retorted. Eva smacked her in the arm, then quickly ran behind Sage, with Nemesis not far behind her.
"Hey, do I look like a maypole?" Sage asked. Nemesis stopped and looked at him, with a look that said Do-you-really-want-me-to-answer-that. "You answer that and you will regret it."
"Oh, I'm so scared. I have toothpicks bigger then you are." Nemesis said, sitting down next to her sister.
"Well I have something to tell the five of you." Mark said.
"We get to go home?" Nemesis asked jokingly.
"You wish." Marked replied. Nemesis glared at him. "What I was trying to say is, your parents are coming up to visit."
"What?!?!?" Nemesis and Johanna snapped.
"Come on...here I thought you would be happy to see your parents again." Mark said.
"Like hell!" Nemesis shouted.
"Nemesis, now is not the time." Calista whipered in her sisters ear.
"Yea Jo...just forget about it." Eva said, trying to calm her sister. Nemesis knuckels were turning white and her muscles were constricting and relaxing from the pressure.
With one final snort Johanna walked into the house, Nemesis walked in right after her. Calista, Sarah, and Eva let out a sigh of relief.
"You trying to get everyone killed?" Calista asked Mark.
"That wasn't my intertion, but she had a right to know. Expectally after last time." Mark retorted.
"So now they will go into one of their moods where they wont speak for a month." Sarah stated.
"What happeneds last time?" Mia asked.
"Captain Smartone here..." Eva said, pointing to Mark. "...had are parents come up for a group counseling section without telling Nemesis or Johanna." Eva stated.
"So Nemesis blew out half of the building and Johanna put seven people in ICU." Sarah added.
"Why do they hate their parents so much?" Sage asked.
Sarah glanced at Eva and Calista. "Johanna doesn't like out parents because they fear her." Eva said. "But it happened over a period of time...and our parents didn't disown her the first time she put someone in the hospital"
"Hey...they guy was asking for it. Noone pushes me in front of Nemesis and gets away with it." Calista defened her sister.
"Okay...I get your point. But there was a big difference between when Nemesis put someone in the hospital and when Johanna put someone in the hospital." Eva said. "I mean...she snapped the guy's neck...like it was a chicken." Calista laughed at the memory. It's was the first time Nemesis had ever used her gift.
"Of course my parents have more reason to be scared." Calista said, lowering her head. "I don't blame her for hating our parents either."
"Why do you'r parents fear her so much?" Cye asked.
"You would be too if you lived with a manaic-depress, ill-tempered telakenetic." Calista answered.
"You don't seem like someone with anger management problems." Rowen commented.
"That's because I've slowly been learner how to control my anger." Calista said.
"Can your parents even stand to be in the same room with Nemesis?" Ryo asked.
"My dad can, but only if someone else is in the room. But mom doesn't even look at her and is so scared that she can't be alone in the same house as her." Calista said. "Nemesis told me once that being telakentic is both a gift and a curse. She was right too." Calista went into the house, to go see how her sister was doing. Sarah and Eva went to see how Johanna was doing.
Not even after a second they were in the house, Kento turned to Ryo. "I bet you feel like an ass." Kento said to him. Ryo glared at him.
Mark looked at his watch, before repostioning his hat. "Well I have to be going." Mark said. He left after talking some things over with Mia and Kayura. Cye went inside with Mia to start making dinner. During and after dinner was going to be quite...interesting.
