Thanks Verea! It is the nicest complement I EVER had!
You really deserve this FIRST role place in my story! Will you guess who it'll be?
Hunh? I just KNOW you're skipping with impatience! Lol!
Anyway, hope you like this chappie too and I will update soon! (I hope)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Rachel's POV xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
My cell rings Wonder Woman and I smile.
"Mornin' grandma."
"Hello darling. I was hoping you could come home to eat lunch with us, I have to present you to someone."
I sight, suspicious and still a little weary.
"By the way, are you staying with that bounty Hunter who's got the hot package."
Ranger comes in at that moment and I gulp.
"Uh…I'll call you back grandma. Yes I promise I'll come."
"He's in the room right? Man, if I was ten years younger…"
"You'd still be twenty years too old." I mutter, rearranging my favorite line in the eighth book. I used to laugh every time I read it…now it's really…ewwww!
I flip my phone shut and turn to Ranger, grimacing.
"I have to go eat at grandma's house for lunch."
Ranger's face breaks into a teasing smile.
"Don't look so smug Ranger, you're coming too."
I go into the bathroom, satisfied at the look of horror that I'm pretty sure is fake.
He, of course, appears behind me and pulls me into him.
I hold my breath and he bows his head, kissing my shoulder, leaving a trail on wet, hot kisses. I shudder which induces a shudder on his part also.
I think a moan escaped my lips because he turns me almost violently and captures my mouth with his own.
I press my body against him, feeling warmth spread to low places.
Gasps escape me as his hands make their way under my shirt and settle on my breasts.
Suddenly, making both of us jump, his cell phone rings.
Groaning, Ranger retrieves one hand, digs in his pocket and answers, his other arm still holding me to him possessively.
"Talk." His voice is husky and I hear Lester… or is it Bobby, laugh on the other end.
I go out of his arms and smile weakly before leaving the bathroom and picking up my bag.
Grandma will be expecting us soon.
He also comes out a few minutes later, nods to me and leads me out of the apartment, his hand on the small of my back.
After a silent ride, Ranger parks in front of Stephanie's parent's house and I get out reluctantly, greeted by the horse kid, Grandma and Steph's mom.
"Hya…" I greet, trying to smile.
"Hello sweety, here, meet your half sister!" Grandma practically yells, shoving a girl about my age with waist long copper hair and green eyes.
"Uh…hi…" She says nervously.
I stare in shock at Grandma a minute before saliva floods back into my mouth.
"I…have…a…sister?" I ask, eyeing the girl in front of me.
"Yes. That father of yours is what you have in common."
Geez Grandma, treat dad a bastard while you're at it...he may have always been drunk but he was my father none the less...
Tears prick my eyes and when I look at my half sister, I see that it is the same for her.
"Grandma, you can be such a…" The girl doesn't finish, takes my hand and we both run down the street, unseeing and not really caring where we're going as long as it is far from Grandma's harsh words of reality.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Author's POV! Hehe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The two girls disappear behind a corner and Grandma Mazur sights, holding Ranger's shoulder.
"Leave them lad, if I said that, it was for them to go together."
Ranger nods, accusation still in his eyes.
"Since you're here…"
Ranger cuts her, panic in his eyes.
"No, I have things to do, sorry ma'am…maybe next time?"
Ranger mentally hits himself but steels himself to look into the old woman's eyes.
"It's ok, besides, I'll be seeing a lot of you."
And with that weird phrase, the old granny goes back inside, a scary smile gracing…well…if we can say 'gracing' her lips.
Somewhere else…"So…you're my sister…what's your name?" Rachel asks tentatively, opening the door to the small coffee shop and sitting down at a booth.
"I'm Verea, 17 years old…" The girl sits in front of her and fumbles with the tablecloth.
"I'm 18 years old, and my name's Rachel…we look alike a bit…don't you think?"
Both girls look at each other closely and finally nod.
"Yeah…'cept I have red hair and you have black hair. Not to mention I have green eyes and you have black ones."
Sam says, smiling a little and fingering her sister's hair.
"So…did Grandma tell you about…you know…" Rachel tries, mentioning to a Vampire poster for a some horror moviebehind Verea.
"Yeah…apparently we have to fulfill some kind of prophecy together…"
Rachel slaps her hand on the table, gets up, grabs her sister's hand and rushes her out.
"THAT's why I never found anything to help me! I was never looking for the right prophecy!" She cries, running to a car, picking the lock and jumping in.
"Are you coming?" Rachel asks after a few seconds while Verea only stares.
"Yeah…just not used to you picking locks and all."
"No problem mate! Hold on!"
Both girls cry out as they zoom out of the parking lot at breakneck speed.
The brown car arrives in front of the library a few minutes later and both girls run up the stairs, Verea having understood why her sister was so excited.
(A/N: Is this ok Verea? I'm not really sure so if you want to change something about your character, write to me quick!)
"Ok! I remember having crossed a very old prophecy about to girls or something," Rachel takes out half a dozen books and hands them to Verea who crumbles under the weight.
"Rachel…" She squeaks, knees weakening and arms hurting.
"Hunh? Oh sorry." Rachel absent-mindedly helps her sister and both set to work.
After several dull hours of sneezing and not finding anything, Verea suddenly jumps out of her seat and makes a little happy dance all around the table.
"I found it!" She chants, laughing.
Rachel smiles and goes over to the book, eyes widening.
For two to help to free mankind
Of all darkness
Both must resist in their mind
For the journey is lifeless
It is in the world of the Dead
That both must reunite their threads.
The two sisters look at each other, eyes unseeing.
"What the fuck does that mean?" Rachel asks incredulously.
"It means that I will take you to my kingdom, Enemy of old." Says a cold voice behind them, chilling them to the bone.

HERE IT IS! YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I finally made it! I am SO sorry! With all the school etc…I didn't have time to write! I know this is a small chapter but to preserve the suspense, I had to do it! Verea, remember; write if your character isn't what she's supposed to be!
