Hehe... Zil can get very annoying.
"Stop it Sonia!" "It's not worth it!" "Don't do it!" "Stop!"
Sonia looks back at her sisters, whom were being held back by two of Zil's people. She ignores their protests and turns back to Zil. She takes a few deep breaths to calm down.
"Zil. Get out of my house." Sonia demands with scary calmness.
"No way, midget. It's the rules: freaks and humans can't live together." Zil replies back with equal calm.
"That's a stupid rule, me and my sisters have lived together for years."
Zil ignores the small girl and turns to her sisters. He gestures to the fuming 'moof', "Do you really want to live with THAT? She could turn on you at any time."
"Hey, don't be like that!" Sonia protests. "Get out my house before I-"
"Before you what?"
"Kick you out." Sonia growls. "Now get out!"
"Not unless you get out first." Zil stands over the girl and glowers down at her.
"It's my house."
Sonia grabs a rope and ties Zil up in less than 2 seconds, smirking triumphantly. She shoves him out the house. A simple warning glare gets the other 4 boys out.
"Stupid freak!" One throws a bottle at her head.
"...You handled that well." Krissy massages her shoulder. "I'm surprised you didn't fight him."
Sonia frowns and crosses her arms. She hunches her shoulders, "I'm not a fighter... I'm a lover."
"Mmm, is it okay for you to be both of those?" Violet pats her sisters head encouragingly.
"Fine..."
The 3 girls play a few rounds of BS before they finally accept that they have no food left. They come down to 3 options:
1.) Steal food
2.) Ask for food
3.) Hunt food.
"Or we could just go hungry." Krissy grumps, feeling another sickness coming on.
"Don't SAY that!" Violet scolds, but cringes at another headache.
"...I miss Duck..." Sonia announces out of the blue.
"O...kay...?"
They sit in silence, stomachs growling obnoxiously loud. The rest of the house darkens, the living room glowing brightly. Violet glances to the side and notices her sisters sleeping soundly. She looks down at them with a sad smile.
Violet pushes stray hairs out of Sonia's face, "I wish I new what went on in your mind."
'I'm so hungry... Hey... Here little squrriel.' A new voice in her head coos. 'I won't hurt yo-GOTCHA! YOU FURRY BITCH SI-'
Violet jerks away from Sonia and stares with wide eyes down at her sister. She notices that the voice had stopped. She inches towards her sister and places her hand on the girls forehead.
'Bloody hell, it bit me! Shit! Crap... My stomach is touching my back.' The voice whimpers. It sounded a lot like Sonia. 'Oh god.. I ne-'
Violet pulls her hand away again and the voice stops mid-sentence. She stares at her hand for awhile before timidly stepping towards Krissy. She places her hand firmly on Krissy's head.
'We're gonna die. All of us are gonna die. One by one because some idiot cursed us all. We should've never moved here.'
Violet frowns at her sisters' pessimistic thoughts. She checks out her hand again, unsure what to make of this.
"Am I a freak?"
Violet wonders how she would use this power to her advantage. How would it work if she has to touch someone to hear their thoughts? Who in their right minds would even be touched by them? It doesn't make sense.
"Great. I got a shitty power."
Violet gets up and vainly searches the kitchen for food. She goes into the farthest corner of the cabinets, and only finds chemicals. She groans and makes a note to go to the grocery store before morning.
She hides a knife in her jeans pocket and slips out the door. She sneaks through the silent night and makes her way to the grocery store. A smile sneaks its way to her mouth as she begins to think about The Avengers.
"I'm that guy from Avengers." She giggles. "Um... Loki. Yeah. I wonder if I control minds to?"
She shrugs it off and sneaks into someones house. She's happy to find they recently went 'shopping' and have some food. She grabs a few cans at random and leaves the house as if she was never there.
She comes back home and hears fighting from her home. She frowns and looks through the window.
"Damnit, I said put me down!" Sonia shrieks as she tries to wriggle away from one of Zil's guys. "It's my house, you can't kick me out!"
"Why don't you make me with your freak power?" Zil smirks.
"Oh, shut up!"
Violet runs into the house and tackles the guy holding Krissy down. She pulls his hair, punches and scratches. He punches back, but doesn't land many.
Zil cocks a gun and pulls it to Krissy's head. Everyone stops fighting to stare.
"Good, everyones paying attention." He hisses. "Now, Sonic, get out this house."
"..." Sonia cocks her head to the side. "Can you tell your friend to let me go so I can walk?"
"Walk only. Try to move fast and I splatter your sisters brains all over the wall."
Sonia falls silent and takes slow steps to the door. A loud boom rattles the house as she uses full speed to tackle Krissy out the way. She holds up her hands, just about begging whatevers out there for this to work.
Bullets bounce off the invisible force field, Sonia grinning at how easy it came to her. Her smile falters at the same time the force field does. She shrieks as a bullet enters her hand, falling on her back and kicking at the air. She screams at the top of her lungs, clutching her hand tightly.
"Get out our house!" Violet grabs a gun from in-between the couch cushions and fires wildly.
Zil and his crew leave quickly to avoid being shot. Violet drops the gun and rushes to Sonia's aid.
"Think of it as karma for trying to run off with the Coates' kids." She grumbles, trying to think of a way to remove the bullet safely. "Now hold still."
Krissy gets a small knife from the kitchen and cuts the bullet wound bigger in hopes of getting it out easier. She ignores Sonia's screams of protest as Violet holds the youngest down. Krissy produces some tweezers and plucks the bullet out, only adding to the mess of blood.
"Quick, go get bandages!" Krissy hisses as she pins Sonia down.
Violet disapears into the bathroom and searches for the thick roll of bandages that's rarely used. She finds it under the sink and quickly wraps Sonia's hand up. The two older sisters stand up and hover over their younger.
Sonia sits up and gives them both teary-eyed glares, "That hurt..."
"It was necesarry." Violet sighs. "Now, can you still use your hand? Feel anything?"
"Yeah, I felt every second of you cutting into my hands and pulling the bullet out." She scowls.
"Just move your fingers for me."
Sonia raises her hands and wiggles her fingers one at a time. Pinkie. Ring. Middle. Poi-... Ok. Her pointer and thumb aren't moving very well. She begins to panic and tries to move the 2 fingers without success.
"NOOO!" Sonia whines. "These are my most important fingers! This is the hand a write with!"
"C-Calm down, we'll get Lana to fix it in the morning!" Violet tries to calm her down. "U-Um... Just take a nap."
"And if all else fails, you'll have to learn to write with your left hand." Krissy jokes.
"Not funny." Sonia pouts.
The girls make their way upstairs and lay in bed. Sonia frowns, unable to get to sleep. It wasn't just because of her hand, her mind was just clouded with thoughts. She stares at the ceiling, a small smile sneaking its way onto her lips.
'Drake...'
Her eyes widen and she shakes her head side to side rapidly. She begins to think about home, her family, her out-of-state friends.
'I wonder what they'd think of Drake?'
She interrupts her thoughts and smacks her forehead a few times. She just wanted that pshyco out her thoughts completely. She gets out the bed and puts on the thickest pair of shoes she could find. She walks out the front door and gets into starting position in the middle of the street.
'Sonia Nic, a.k.a Sonic, lines up at the starting line. Lucky number 9 gets into position.' She imagines the speaker in her mind, the crowd cheering. The gun shot goes off. 'And they're off!'
Sonia runs through Perdido Beach, swerving through homes and cars. Everything around her seemed to go in slow motion, even though she was moving at top speeds. She made her own wind as she ran, finding herself kicking up a sand storm as she ran on the beach. She slows down to a jog, soon stopping to catch her breath.
She looks up and sees a figure in the darkness. She squints and sees a tall... Person. One arm was a lot longer than the other. It coiled and twitch like a...
"Drake?" Sonia surges forward, a spark of hope showing in her eyes.
She pauses and gives a silent shriek of horror at who she sees. With dirt in her braces and an equal look of horror on her face, stood Brittany. Sonia's jaw drops. Wasn't this chick suppose to be dead? Mutilated in a hole?
"Uh... Brittany?" Sonia says hesitantly to the zombie-girl.
"Yes?" Brittany grins.
"Um... How can I put this in the nicest way possible... Eh..."
"Why am I alive?"
"Yeah, you were, um, mutilitaed at the power plant. Then buried." Sonia nods slowly.
"Yes. I am God's angel, he brought me back to fight these beasts." Brittany grabs Sonia's shoulders, only freaking her out more.
"Beasts?"
"Caine Soren and Drake Merwin."
"Aahhh." Sonia nods. "Um.. Why don't we get you cleaned up?"
The two of them walk back to Perdido Beach, Sonia feeling awkward, Brittany completely oblivious. Sonia goes to Howard's house and knocks on the door.
Howard yawns, "Isn't it a bit late for visiting?"
"Um... Your not gonna believe this, but I found a zombie."
Brittany frowns, "I'm not a zombie, I'm God's angel."
"Right."
The two girls enter, adding another person to the awkward club.
"If I go get Sam, will you watch her?" Sonia narrows her eyes at Howard and Orc.
Howard smirks, "It's gonna cost-"
"I've got a crate a beer hidden away for a rainy day. I'll give you half."
"Half? I don't think tha-"
"Half or I'll shove my foot so far up your ass it'll come out your mouth."
Howard takes in ther serious look Sonia had. He'd figure she'd had a bad night, hearing something about Zil shooting her in the hand. He had a feeling she wouldn't hesitate stick a foot up his butt.
"Right. Half is good." Howard nods. "Go get Sam... I guess I'll... Clean her up?"
Sonia gives a short, quick nod and disapears with a soft boom the rattles the house. She launches herself off a pole and crashes through Sam's window.
"Sam!" Sonia stumbles and rolls across the top of Sam's bed. "Gah! Sam!"
"Huh? What?" Sam bolts upright.
"Brittany's back from the dead!"
Sam stops to register, "What."
"It's true." Taylor pops in, giving a side glance to Sonia and the broken window. "But I don't think it was necesarry to break his window."
"Sorry Sam." Sonia shrugs. "Now get outta bed! Brittany makes people feel awkward and I left her with Howard and Orc!"
"Alright, I'm coming." Sam pulls on some pants and cracks his back. "Let's go."
Taylor bounces out the room and Sonia resists running at her insane speeds to preserve her shoes a little longer. Sam gets to Howard's place rather quickly and finds him and Sonia arguing about the price.
"You were barely with her for 5 minutes, your not getting paid extra!" Sonia shrieks.
"Half a case of beer sure wasn't enough!"
"Say one more word Howard! Do it! I'll shove my foot up your-"
"Sonia, please calm down." Sam interupts the arguement, his eyes fixtated on Brittany. The supposedly dead girl.
As Sam pulls Howard to the side to talk, Sonia sits next to Brittany and questions her.
"How did it feel to be underground?" Sonia cocks her head to the side.
"Horrible. It was dark, and I felt like a worm trying to crawl out."
"Do you breath?"
"I can, but I don't need to. I don't have a heart beat, listen." Brittany pushes Sonia's head down to her chest.
Sonia's eyes widen once she realizes there really was no sound. She wondered how this girl was surviving. Brittany's whole aura suddenly changes and she grabs Sonia by the wrist. She drags her out the back, her features... Changing.
Sonia's eyes light up, but she puts up a teasing smile, "Kinky! Your alive!"
"I SAID not to CALL me that." Drake scowls.
"But that's your name!" She winks.
"My name. Is Drake."
"Whatever. So what happened to Brittany, huh?" Sonia takes a step back. "I was having a nice conversation with her."
Drake rolls his eyes, "We can't talk here, let's go."
"We're going to my house then. Don't burn it down."
1 HOUR LATER.
"So basically, you and Brittany share a body?" Sonia cocks her head to the side.
"Yes." Drake rolls his eyes. "For someone who moves so fast, you sure are slow."
"Your so mean." She pouts her lower lip out.
"And your an idiot."
Things fall silent until Sonia sighs, knowing this had a 50-50 chance of working.
"Drake, can you teach me how to shoot a gun?"
Drake stares at her blankly, "Why so suddenly interested in something you can barely hold."
"Because. I wanna prove to Zil that I can kill him with or without my freak powers." Sonia crosses her arms. "And he shot me in the hand."
"..."
"..."
"I'll think about it."
Sonia sighs loudly, always hating that answer. It was a yes or no question. Being to lazy to go back up the stairs, she throws a towel over the Sammy Sun to dim it and falls asleep on the couch.
'That was sudden.'
Drake leaves the house undetected, angry to find Brittany-pig taking over again. God, he hated her.
