Chapter 1
"Stop it girls, please!" Jennifer barked hoarsely. Her black hair had many grey streaks in it even though she was only 41. Her two 22 year old daughters had bickered form a young age.
"Mom, Kaia is being a stubborn ass!" Anna yelled sticking her tongue out at her sister and turning away from her.
"Why, thank you, sister dearest," Kaia said sarcastically.
"GIRLS!" Jennifer yelled, "Stop, Stop, STOP! I've had enough!" Jennifer yelled. She was about to storm into the house when a man came in the gate. He looked a little bit older than Kaia and Anna.
"Yes, finally!" Anna said rubbing her hands together. She walked over to him and tried grabbing at one of the boxes he carried.
"May I?" He asked. Anna was about to protest but Kaia cut in.
"Yes, you may, Will," She whispered breathlessly. He opened one box and took out the dagger. Anna tapped her foot anxiously and folded her arms.
Will chuckled, "Here you go, Anna." He handed her a box and she took out a blade identical to the one Will was holding except it had an A engraved in it and the other one had a K. She swooshed it around and smiled.
"This is so cool!" She exclaimed.
Kaia took the other one from Will and stared at it. "It's beautiful." She looked up at Will. 'And so are you.' she thought.
"I must go now, Anna, Kaia," He waved good-bye and walked out of the yard only to be replaced by a man with long black hair and tanned skin. His clothes were dirty and he had a sword. The girls drew their new daggers and glared at the man.
"Go away, you hear me, pirate?" Kaia snarled. The man stood still and then laughed horribly. He walked up to Kaia and lifted up her chin.
"Don't think I'd fancy doing that, love!" He hissed back at her patting her cheek before straightening up again.
"Jennifer's eyes widened, "M-Ma-Mathew?" She stuttered. He smiled a golden smile at her and threw his arms up in the air.
"Yes, my love, I have returned to my beautiful wife and daughters. Assuming that's who you are. You look just like me." He added turning to Anna who gasped and screamed no.
"You didn't even know you had daughters!!!!" Jennifer snapped, stepping away from the filthy man in their yard. "I waited 23 years for you"
"Yeah, but I'm back now, savvy?" He chuckled at looked at his two daughters again, "Just like me!" He laughed. "I love you gals, but I bet I could get a pretty penny if I sell you." He laughed again, as if the statement would be amusing to them.
"NO! Not savvy!" Jennifer screamed, "YOU LEAVE MY GIRLS ALONE!" The man laughed even harder than before.
"They are as much mine as they are yours. You can't kick me out. It's been 20 years and I'm ready to get some money off of my pretty dolls. You might make a good slave to my lovely wife!" He added.
"Don't you touch mum!" Anna screamed, pointing her dagger at Mathew. He only laughed harder. He laughed so much he was crying.
"You heard them, get out!" Kaia yelled, thrusting her dagger at him too.
Mathew pulled a gun from his belt and pointed it at Jennifer who gasped. Anna and jumped forward, but then stopped when he spoke, "Put down the daggers and step back or mummy dies." His laughter was like lighting on a sunny day. Chills ran down the girls' backs and in one moment it was all over.
Anna threw her dagger at her father and he fired a shot a Jennifer. They both fell to the ground at the same time. The man coughed out blood and shot at Anna and Kaia. One of the bullets grazed Anna's arm and Kaia got shot in the leg.
"MUM!" Kaia screamed gripping her leg and limping over to Jennifer's figure. Anna grabbed her arm and ran over to their mother who had already died.
"Stop it girls, please!" Jennifer barked hoarsely. Her black hair had many grey streaks in it even though she was only 41. Her two 22 year old daughters had bickered form a young age.
