Chapter Two
Aimee and Helene sat in their bedroom, with their younger sister - Kiara. Bon Jovi's latest single played softly in the background as the twins attempted some homework. Finding Kiara a huge distraction, singing and dancing along to the track, they soon abandoned the essays.
"Kiara! Can't you just piss off?"
"Oh, I'm gonna tell mommy you're saying bad words!"
With that she spun round and dashed out of the room.
"Little snitch!" Aimee called after her.
Helene lapsed into giggles.
"What the hell are you laughing at?!"
"Um ... sorry ... actually, I dunno."
Aimee rolled her eyes. She was accustomed to Helene's giggling fits but that didn't make them any less irritating.
"AIMEE!! GET IN HERE!"
"Oh shit!" she muttered under her breath, so that only Helene could hear. Then added a little louder for her mother to hear,
"WHAT?"
"YOU KNOW WHAT!"
She sighed and heaved herself from the chair at her desk and slumped into the living room.
"What is it mom? We're trying to do our homework!"
"You know fine well what it is. How many times do I have to tell you NOT to use such language?"
Aimee didn't answer, she just shrugged and began to make her way back to the room she shared with her twin.
"Not so fast, young lady! Now explain yourself."
"I just told you didn't I? Or what is it - you deaf? I'm trying to do homework and that little b-brat is distracting me."
"When the hell did you become such an arrogant little ..."
"Ooh, cat got your tongue? Good! Now can I go finish my homework?"
She didn't wait for an answer, she whipped around and walked back to her room. Her mother - Scully - stared open-mouthed at her. Her twins had changed so much since they both started secondary school. The were once almost like little angels now, it was a different story. Neither of them missed the opportunity to argue with their parents.
Aimee was sitting on her bed, sulking, as usual. The twins were doing a lot of sulking lately.
"Why the hell do they have to give us homework in the bloody holidays?"
Helene, who had also given up on doing her essay now, just shrugged her shoulders and got up from the bed to turn the volume up on the stereo. The perfect way to annoy Mulder and Scully - blast loud rock music from the bedroom. It worked like a charm, as usual, Mulder came bursting into the room.
"CAN YOU TURN THAT RACKET DOWN?"
He bellowed over the lyrics of some band unknown to him. His twin daughters glared at him and pretended not to hear.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?"
Again they ignored him - acted as if he wasn't even there. So he gave up and retreated to his own bedroom.
Eventually they did lower the volume so that they could make a fresh attempt on their essays and get it out of the way, to spend their holiday relaxing. After half an hour of 'discussing' the good and bad points of Euthanasia for their English teacher, they rose from their chairs as one and threw the pens they were writing with across the room.
"I need a break! Why on earth are they giving us work when we haven't even got our exam results yet and we might not even make it into the classes we want?"
"I dunno, Helene, but I'm going for a walk ... Care to join me?"
"Of course!"
As the closed the door quietly behind them, Angelle emerged from the flat across the hall. She too had given up on the essay the same teacher had set her.
"Where are you two going?"
"Don't know. Anywhere."
"Okay, mind if I join you?"
"Nope!"
So the three of them set off, wandering aimlessly around until the sun lowered beyond the horizon. The sky turned a shade of pink as the three re-entered the tenement block. No sooner had they left Angelle, had Scully came rushing through the door.
"Where have you been?"
"Why do you care?"
Scully, lost for words, disappeared inside. She sat down on her bed as the tears slid silently down her cheeks. Her nine-year-old daughter came into the room and slid an arm over Scully's shoulder, wiping away the tears with her other hand.
"What's wrong, Mommy?"
"It's nothing Kiara."
"It's not 'nothing'. Tell me what's up."
Scully didn't answer. Kiara was only nine, but she was much more mature for her age than her sisters had been.
"It's Aimee and Helene again, isn't it?"
She let her arm fall from Scully's shoulders and stalked off to the room belonging to the twins.
"What did you go and say to Mommy now?!" She demanded of her older sisters.
They just laughed at her. Kiara grew steadily redder in the face as her temper rose.
"Answer me! What did you do this time?"
"Fuck off pipsqueak!" the twins said together.
"NO! TELL ME WHAT YOU SAID!"
"Kiara ... if you don't get out of this room, I'm going to have to hurt you."
But Kiara didn't move. She glared indignantly at Aimee. Both of the twins grabbed Kiara by the shoulders and threw her physically from their room. Landing with a clatter as she toppled into one of the bikes in the hall, she stood up and pounded on the door until the twins opened it unexpectantly and she fell forward onto her hands and knees.
