Thank you for the great reviews!
Chapter four.
Lunchroom disaters.
I shuddered at the memories the silver Volvo brought back. Victor noticed and narrowed his eyes at me, I just shook my head. Now was not the time to concern myself with this. They couldn't possibly be here, they'd left and never looked back.
We hopped out and went to the front office. There was a different woman here now, good thing. I glided over to her and told her us our names.
"Hi, I'm Marie Mocking and this is my sister Maureen. This is Victor Knight, he's our adopted brother. I believe our mother talked to you the other day about us starting here." I said in my sweetest voice. It had really been me on the phone of course. She stared and I gave her a minute to compose herself before clearing my throat. She nodded and handed us our papers.
"Have a good first day." She told us on our way out.
"So when is Alwin meeting us?" I asked when we were out of the office.
"He should be here by the time we're out of school." Victor informed me.
Alwin was twenty when he'd been changed so he didn't have to fake school like us. He liked traveling alone sometimes but he usually came back after a week. Me and him were very close and I always missed him while he was gone, but I knew he was used to being by himself so I let him go. Victor had told him that the house was beautiful and if he wanted he could have one of the bedrooms downstairs. That meant a lot to me that Victor was giving up his game room for Alwin because Victor didn't approve of the way Alwin wandered. Me and Maureen always knew he'd come back though.
"Oh here's me." Maureen chimed in, walking over to a door and giving Victor a goodbye kiss.
The first part of the day was uneventful and dull. When it was finally lunch I waited at the door for Maureen and Victor. We went through the line, buying food we wouldn't eat. I turned and glanced around the lunch room when I was hit by the over powering smell. I heard Maureen stop breathing and Victor growled slighty under his breath.
"There are others here." Victor mumbled to me, too low and quick for any human ears.
"Yeah, but how did we not notice the scent earlier?" I mumbled back. He shrugged his shoulders,a perplexed look on his face.
We went and sat at a table that was slighty away from the others. Half of lunch went by with all of us on edge before the smell suddenly got stronger. I glanced at Victor and saw that he was staring intently at somebody behind me. I spun around in my seat and wa suddenly face to face with a little pixie. My breath caught. Alice.
Her eyes were on Victor and Maureen at first. Until she heard me stop breathing and then her eyes settled on me, the huge grin dropping suddenly from her face. Her breath caught too and I knew she recognized me.
