Okay, so this has to be one of my favorite chapters so far. Sorry for making Cat's last one so short, but since she didn't know where she was I couldn't do much. Thank you for the adds, reviews, support, and ect Sierra, McDip, and liviblueeyes. Alright, this one is longer and pretty darn good if I do say so myself. So, here it is Chapter.
To speak and to speak well are two things. A fool may talk, but a wise man speaks.

Robbie's POV
"So, please sit down." Corrine motioned to the other end of the couch then sauntered over to a black swayed chair that was at the end of the couch that was closest for Robbie when he sat down. "Jason, could you get me a glass of pink lemonade?" she asked and when he raised an eyebrow she pouted. "Please?"
He sighed then went into the kitchen and she turned back to me and smiled. "So, you're Jason's sister?" I questioned and she nodded. "Full sister?" Another nod. "How come I haven't seen you around school?"
"Oh, I don't go to your school, but that isn't the reason I had my brother bring you here or even the point for this whole conversation." Jason came in a brought her lemonade then sat down on the edge of the table as she started drinking it.
"So, what is the point?" I asked Corrine, but making sure to keep an eye on Jason, something about him just didn't sit right with me. Now that I thought about it the atmosphere in the whole room was…awkward.
It was Jason that answered me. "The point is that our cousin, we can't tell you his name so don't even ask, has someone that you and your friends are going to miss dearly if we don't get money." He smirked and a small giggle escaped from Corrine. So they brought me here to tell me that they had…who exactly? "Everyone was at school except for…" My eye widened, they had Cat.
"Where is she? Where is Cat?" I asked, starting to get up. Corrine now had an eerie smile spread across her face. Something was off with this girl, but what was it?
"Ooo, did you hear that Jason? Her name is Cat, like the animal. Cute. Cousin didn't tell us that just that we couldn't "play" with her. Phewy." She pouted then finished her glass then gave the glass to Jason.
"Cousins doesn't run everything, besides he won't notice if we did the little stuff." He set the glass on the table behind him and smirked at me. "Unless we get $10 every other day that she's here." He said and held out his hand.
"Jason!" Corrine snapped causing him to drop his hand and both of us to look at her. She shifted in the seat so that her feet were under her and she was more comfortable. "Don't be so cheap." She looked at me. "It's $10 for us not to cut her, $15 for us not to burn her, and $20 for her in perfect condition for that day and the next. Then a new payment." She said with her game face on. Jason, on the other hand, turned to face me – his eyes burning bright with greed and a grin on his face that the Cheshire Cat would have trouble competing with – and held out his hand once again.
"You heard the lady, pay up." He sneered, enjoying having the upper hand once more. I sighed and stood up and dug in my pockets for my wallet. I pulled it out then looked inside, hoping to find a 20, but only succeeding in finding a 10 and 15.
"This is all I have on my person right now." I said handing him the $25. "Do I get to take her with me now for that?" at this Corrine threw her head back and laughed like a maniac, Jason chuckled then shook his head in shame, setting the $25 in Corrine's lap."
"Whoo," she said, whipping the tears from her eyes after she calmed down, "$5 for the girl? I don't think so, nice try though." She picked up the money and stuffed it into her bra, claiming it as her own and causing Jason to frown. She was clearly the leader of the two. "That's not even close to the amount that our cousin is wanting for her."
I sat back down and looked at her, my face probably screwed into a giant question mark. "Then how much are you asking for her?" she smirked.
"That's the question I've been waiting for ever since I told you we have her." She smirked then untangled herself from the chair then walked over and caressed my face then looked at me with heated passion in her eyes. She licked her lip then leaned in and whispered in my ear. "$25,000. No more, no less." Then planted a kiss on my cheek and walked over to her brother and placed her hand on his shoulder, her back towards me. "Get them out of the house before Cousin shows up or Mother or Father show up. I don't want them thinking I'd date him."
He nodded and she walked over and delicately picked up Lilly. "We're making serious money this time Lil," she told the puppet as she headed up the stairs, "hopefully it won't be like last time when the people didn't come up with the money in time and we just killed the poor fool." She started humming as the shadows wrapped themselves around her like a loving mother's arms.
Jason mumbled something about his sister then shook it off and turned his attention back to me. The flame dying from his eyes - if it was directed towards his sister's retreating form then this family had some serious problems, but that wasn't my problem right now. The problem was that if I didn't tell the others and we couldn't come up with the money, they were going to kill her.
"Come on, Puppet Boy." He said then got up then went, grabbed hold of Rex and headed towards the door. I got up followed him, glancing up the stairs only to see the shadows. I sighed, took Rex and then walked out onto the porch I started to walk off then turned around.
"You two, better not touch a single red hair on her head. She is a nice and girl and doesn't deser-" Jason made a face of annoyance then slammed the door shut in my face. "ve this." I sighed as I heard his foot steps walk away from the door until I couldn't hear them any more.
"Hmmm… I wonder…" I thought as I started circling the house then stopping near an open window on the second floor in the backyard, who leaves their gate open?
"Hello?" Corrine's voice rang true to my ears so I pressed myself against the house as the light flicked on. "Hey Luke, how's everything going?" she asked.
"The Luke that used to go to school with us then moved to Florida?" I looked up and saw some of her auburn hair dangle from the window. "Yeah, we're ready for you to bring her here." She sighed irritatedly. "Yeah, yeah. I know, Kill-Joy. 'Don't touch this one.'" She mocked his voice. I saw the light near my flick on and suddenly Jason was at it.
"Oh God, please don't let him see me." I thought as I started walking away from the window and back around to the front.
I had to tell someone, but who? I started to walk into the neighbor's yard when the headlights of a car blinded me as the car turned onto the street. I quickly ducked down behind a bush then ran and hide behind a car as the - almost black – car pulled into Corrine and Jason's driveway. The driver got out and then let the passenger out and led them to the pourch, the curtains moved then the door opened and Jason stood in the door way. "This her?" he questioned, taking in Cat's features.
"Yeah, this her. Are you going to move?" Luke asked then led Cat inside and the door shut. Yep, it was that Luke. Who could I tell that would believe me? I looked at my cell phone, 10:17 PM. Who could I tell, that was still up and whose parents wouldn't grip at me for banging on the door at this hour? I smirked as a name popped in my head then I straightened up and took off running, holding Rex close to me, to Beck's house.
Can you guess who's POV is next? If you said Beck, you are dead wrong it is Andre's. Just kidding, it's Beck's and it might be longer than his last one because a lot of stuff needs to be cleared up. Next chapter I'm going to try to make one of my better ones. Review this so that Cat can live. Just kidding, I could never kill Kit-Kat...or could I? Nah. Until next time you guys. Love Yas.
