Hey everyone.
So, how are you liking this story so far?
Well, I hope you are loving it so far and I hope you like this chapter too.
By the way, Robin and Barney are not together yet but they will be.
Enjoy!
Talia's POV
I look towards the bar and I see Barney and Lilly staring at me and Ted, oh, they must have seen us kissing.
Barney sees something to Lilly and then they walk back over to us.
"You two are so cute together!" Lilly exclaims, surprising me, I didn't think she would be so happy about this.
"Yeah, sooo cute" Barney agrees, but he sounds uncomfortable.
"Oh, before I forget, I wanted to ask you something Talia" Lilly tells me.
"What is it?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows in confusion.
"Yesterday at Ted's party we found a pair of scissors in your handbag, why did you have them with you?" Lilly asks and I freeze.
I start to worry, I need a very good excuse, I spend a couple of minutes thinking of one.
My hands are shaking under to table and I try to keep my voice from wavering.
"There is actually a reason for that, this is going to sound really silly but when I was younger I was obsessed with this horror movie, can't even remember the name now, and my favourite character would always carry around scissors with her, I just forget sometimes to leave my scissors at home" I explain to Lilly, it's not a complete lie, I did get obsessed with scissors because of a horror movie I like, no, love.
"Ok, but what about the broken mirror?" Lilly asks, not wanting to let the subject drop.
I look down at my hands, they're now fiddling with a loose piece of string on my shirt, they do that when I am nervous.
"I dont really know why I did that, I was stressed at the time, it was kind of a heat of the moment kind of thing, sorry if I worried you" I apologise, again not completely lying, I was very stressed out at the time.
"You're sure you're alright?" Lilly asks, concerned, I'm not sure why, I've only know her for a week.
"Yeah, I'm fine, more than fine, I'm awesome" I tell Lilly, lying through my teeth and I can tell she doesn't believe me but she doesn't push it.
"Great" she says, smiling.
"Where's Marshall and Robin?" I ask, still wondering why they are not here too.
"Oh, Robin has a date I think and Marshall is in the apartment, he wasn't feeling too good this morning, ate too many sweets" Lilly explains smiling, but for some reason I feel like she is hiding something.
"ok, well, tell Marshall I hope he feels better soon, I'll keep an eye on how many strawberry laces he eats next time" I joke, trying to lighten the mood.
Lilly's POV
I lied when I told Talia that Marshall is sick and that Robin has a date, they are actually in Barney's apartment looking through Talia's stuff.
I know this sounds bad, but they're trying to find out what she's hiding, my job is to keep Barney and Talia distracted while they're here, I've already texted Marshall and Robin telling them that Talia and Barney are here.
We decided not to tell Ted because he would probably blurt it out to Talia or Barney.
I wonder if they've found anything yet.
Marshall's POV (meanwhile...)
I feel kind of bad about doing this, but I really want to find out what's bothering Talia.
Robin picked the lock and we've been searching Talia's room for something that tells us why she is acting strange.
"Hey Marshall, I think I've found something" Robin says, pulling a small black box with a lock on it, out of own of the cupboard drawers.
"Can you open it?" I ask and Robin gives me a look that says 'are you kidding me?'
"Right, stupid question" I say.
Robin picks the small lock with a bobby pin and opens the box.
"Oh my god" Robin says, looking surprised and worried.
"What is it?" I ask, starting to get concerned.
"We need to talk to Talia" Robin says before shoving the small box in her coat pocket and running out the door.
"Wait for me!" I shout, running to catch up with her, man, I really need to work out more.
Lilly's POV again
Oh, I just got a text from Robin.
To- Lilly
'Something is definitely wrong with Talia, meet me at your apartment ASAP, p.s bring strawberry laces for Marshall'
From- Robin
"Sorry guys, I really have to go, I need to check on Marshall" I lie, getting up and walking out the door, wondering what it is that Robin and Marshall have found.
I literally run to my apartment and when I get there I see Marshall and Robin sitting on the sofa, holding a small black box.
"What's in the box?" I ask, hating the suspense.
"Look for yourself" Robin says, passing me the box.
What I wasn't expecting to see in the box was a small, silver razor, covered in dry blood.
"Oh god, Talia" I say sadly, not wanting to believe what this implies.
Ok, that is it for now.
