Chapter 2
Sister's Keeper
Everyone knew that they had been "indirectly" seeing each other for years, but nobody could honestly guess when Manfred Bloor and Zelda Dobinski started dating officially. Only when Manfred had stopped by the small 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house to give Zelda her scarf back after a date did her "girls" notice.
Beth saw him first. She shrieked and started telekinetically hurling household objects at him. She was followed by Idith, who not only started hurling objects at him but the ground started shaking as well. A small red haired girl Manfred had never seen before leaped across the room and started tying him up.
The last girl walked in with a highly amused look on her face.
"Why are you trying to kill Zelda's boyfriend?" Inez said icily. The other three froze. The small red-haired girl looked up at him.
"Bloody hell. It's Freddy."
"Dorcas Loom?" He sputtered. The red-haired one took a step back.
"You think I always look that fat?" She said indignantly. "And my real name isn't Dorcas either. It's freakin Ruby." Idith walked over to the two of them. She raised a hand and there was a pause. Then she slapped Manfred.
"I. Am. Going. To. Kill. Her. FOR NOT TELLING US!"
"And you think that gives you the right to slap me?" A yawn was heard.
"What in the hell is all this noise about?" Zelda appeared in the doorway wearing a nightshirt and nothing else. When she saw Manfred she shrieked and ran back into the other room to cover herself. Leaving Manfred, of course, with the girls.
"So." Idith said. She seemed to be their leader. Or their most outgoing one. Either way she was a pain in the ass.
"So what?" Manfred snapped.
"So you're a butt pie. That's what." If Manfred had ever had murderous urges, he never had one as intense as this one towards Idith.
"You're taking Zelda away from us. And you made her lie to us." Dorcas/Ruby said, shaking her head. Beth took his hand.
"So I have one question. If you answer this incorrectly I'll break your hand. It's awful pretty, too. It'd be a shame to lose." Beth looked at Manfred intensely who looked back at her weakly. Damn all the years of hypnotism to hell for not being able to match a 16-year-old girl's fervent stare.
"Are you worth Zelda's time?" Manfred blinked. And looked around him at his surroundings. Then he smirked.
"You'd have to ask her that." The girls looked at each other and Beth nodded.
"All right. I'll accept that." She whipped her hand out of his like it was diseased. Suddenly Zelda hurried back in with pants on.
"Oh dear. What have they done to you?" She bustled over to Manfred, shooing the girls away.
Manfred thought of the many possible things he could have said. Like "They terrorized me." Or "They're demons." He sighed.
"Absolutely lovely. They were so nice."
But Manfred isn't stupid. He knows that if he ever wanted a more serious relationship with Zelda, he had to choose his words wisely.
Oh, well. Sisters can't be much different than brothers.
OHMYFUCKINGGODTHATWASSOSHITTY.
