Tension Dinner
Priya walked into the lair and took her seat on the right hand side of the table. She immediately tucked in to the food in front of her. She was famished, having not eaten all morning. As she looked around she noticed, for the first time, that Megan was sitting opposite her and Isabelle was at the head of the table where they always sat. They were both giving her death stares.
Oh God she thought what did I do now? She smiled innocently as she looked at her sisters. "Aren't you hungry?" She asked. They said nothing. "Oookay" She tried again. "What's up?"
Finally Isabelle spoke, "Priya, my dear sister, How have you been doing with your assignment?" Isabelle said smiling. Priya froze. She hadn't exactly been doing her assignment….but her sister didn't have to know that.
"Oh…uh …yeah, It's coming along great!" Priya said, struggling to not to looks guilty.
The smile immediately dropped from Isabelle's face, "Priya! You have been having fun instead of focusing on your job!" Isabelle shouted at her sister. Priya bent her head in shame. Isabelle was right; she had been playing the fool;
"Look at me!" Isabelle ordered her sister. Priya slowly raised her head and looked Isabelle square in the eyes. "If you do not stop this foolishness, you will be suspended and your powers will be taken away from you!" Isabelle shouted. "You are excused." Isabelle said her tone softening.
Priya slowly got up from the table, and walked out of the room, trying her best to hide her tears from her sisters. She couldn't let them see her weakness, she didn't want them to. What was she going to do?
