Chapter 2 : Ugh Adults

"Umm...play props for school.".

"Schools over.",she looks agitated.

"I forgot to return them after the performance, I played witch number two.".

"Oh, you're going to have to show me sometime...what do you think of you new curtains? Cute huh?".

God why? Now I have to write a script for that and give Edith those evil drapes. She at least likes pink. Where is Edith anyway. That's right shes at a sleepover. "Hi Dinah! What are you doing up here?".

"I thought you got ride of her?". Aunty was never a fan of cats let alone any pet, but she gos nuts with stuffed animals(I'm the only one who knows!).

"Aunty, can you tell me again how you found out you were part of the Liddel family?". I love hearing this story.

"Well, it was about two months ago when I found a book with my family tree in it. I was in Singapore at the time, working with your father. Who'd thought that I was your mothers sister.".

"What do you do exactly, aunty?".

"You know I can't tell you that. The only people in this family who know are me and Jack.".

"Come on, you can trust me!".

"Rules are rules, time for lunch.".

The silence between mom and aunty Grace was unbearable as we ate our lunch. It was like they were using telepathic

communication and I couldn't understand any of it. Thank God the doorbell rang, else I thought I was going to die.

"Hi".

Boris? I'm so confused.

"You forgot we were going to the bridge today, didn't you?".

Oh crap, "Boris, I'm so sorry.".

"Boris, who's that?".

"Don't make her blush Grace, hes just one of her school friends.". Boris was looking at the choker around my neck when mom said that.

"Where'd you get that?".

"Mom got it for me as an early birthday present, I guess. She also got me a book, but I can't open it. I don't know where the key is.".

"Need help looking for it?".

"Ughhh...yeah sure. Its in my room.". Mom and aunty were already in the living room discussing some teen vampire love story on TV. I didn't understand those, whats the big deal?

"You guys really need to install an elevator.".

"I know right.".

"Well, if was me, I would hide it in a secret compartment.". He pushed down the clover design on the lid and the clovers lifted up to reveal a small compartment with a blue and black key inside.

"How'd you...".

"No, werewolves are better!".

"You're wrong, Olivia, vampires are way better.".

Great they're at it again! "Can we continue this at your house? I really don't want to stick around to listen to this.".

"Sure.".

"Good, kids which is better, vampires or werewolves?".

"I'm not dignifying that with a response.".

"Hah, she admits it werewolves are better!".

"No, she just doesn't want to hurt your feelings! That's all.".

"I'm going to Boris', k?", and they didn't hear me, "Lets just go."

At that we left for Boris' house. The book and key in hand, eagerness written all over my face.
