Cindy's POV:
"So where are ya taking me?" I asked still following the annoying girl.
"I'm not sure actually." she said smiling and skipping.
I stopped abruptly and I saw her stop too. "Whatchu mean you don't know? So dis whole time I've been going who knows where?!" I asked angrily.
She looked at me and her eyes got big and teary. "Are you mad?" she asked her bottom lip quavering.
"Yes I am acutally!" I yelled. She stared at me surprised, probably because no one had ever yelled at her and then she busted out crying. I rolled my eyes then took deep breaths. I wasn't used to this, Jazzy used to do this alot and even then I wanted to punch her. "Don't cry." I said.
She looked up and wiped her tears. "I'm sorry." she said softly.
I nodded my head and looked around still confused on where to go. "So you tellin me you have no idea where we are?" I asked.
She smiled as if nothing had happened. "No but you do." she said.
I looked at her confused. "No I don't..." then just like that the darkness went away and I was standing on the basketball court. It was the same court me and Riley first met when we went against each other in a basketball game. I smirked remebering our game.
"Do you know now?" she asked as if she already knew the answer.
I nodded and then I smiled. "We're at the basketball court." I said.
She scrunched up her nose. "I never actually liked basketball." she said.
I looked at her. "Do you even know how to play?" I asked.
She shook her head. "She never taught me." she said softly.
"Who is she?" I asked.
"My sister." she answered then looked sadly at the rim as if hoping she would suddenly know how to play. She shook her head and turned to me smiling again. "Why don't you take a shot?" she asked.
I picked up the basketball at my feet. "Ok so I take a shot then what?" I asked.
She smiled and didn't say anything as she motioned for me to take a shot. I did and as the ball fell threw the air she whispered. "Take a shot and see what would happen if you died."
As the basketball fell threw the rim the scene changed again and we were at my house. It looked different though. Then I reconized it and it was the Wunclear mansion. So she did marry him. I rolled my eyes. I already knew what to expect, my mom would probably still be crying and Ed would be there to support her. Then I heard voices.
"Awwww look at her." the woman cooed. I knew it was my mom.
I followed the voice suddenly excited to see her. I walked through the door and froze. There was my mom but she wasn't crying, she didn't look depressed, she didn't look as if anything bad had happened. She was with Ed and they were doubled over looking at something. I felt my heart thump harder as I walked closer. There in the crib was a baby. It was a girl with red hair and blue eyes, I guess she got the hair from Ed and eyes from my mom. She was adorable and she smiled every time my mother tickled her.
"Thats there new baby." Annie said softly staring at it.
I looked around the room hoping to see at least one picture of me to show they hadn't forgotten me. But all I saw were there wedding pictures and pictures of them and the baby. I felt my blood run cold and I knew tears were coming to my eyes. I had been replaced. I wanted to leave, I didn't want to be here anymore. I turned around to tell Annie but she was to busy looking at my mom with anger.
"Come on lets go." I said pulling her away.
She looked up at me then she nodded her head and just like that we were back in the darkness. I finally let out my tears I was holding in. I turned and looked at Annie who was also crying. I don't know what came over me but I reached forward and hugged her until both our tears stopped.
"I can't believe that hoe replaced me." I said angrily. Then my mind flashed to when she was looking at her. Annie knew my mom in some way. "How do you know her?" I asked.
She looked at me confused. "Know who?" she asked.
"My mom." I said.
A flash of sadness went throguh her eyes then it was gone. "I don't know her." she said.
I shook my head. "Yes you do." I said.
"No I don't." she said shaking her head and trying to walk away but she wasn't getting away that fast. I grabbed her arm and looked her so hard in the eye I saw her cringe.
"Your lying." I said still not breaking eye contact.
She looked teary eyed again. "Please don't make me." she begged.
I shook my head. "Tell me." I persisted.
Then she went limp under my hold and looked sadly up at me. "You don't remeber?" she asked softly. I shook my head confused. "No one remebers me." she said softly her bottom lip quavering. She sucked in a sharp breath. "I always wanted a sister."
"Your not even makin sense." I said getting annoyed. I felt like it was right there in front of me but I couldn't figure it out.
"My name is Anabelle well it was." she said. I shook her arm a little signaling her to get to the point. She pulled away with such strength it surprised me. "I can't believe she never told you." she whined. "She said she loved me." this time tears were rolling down her eyes. I suddenly felt said for the little girl in front of me. How could a 5 year old hold so much hurt?
"Who are you?" I asked suddenly knowing the answer but not wanting to say it.
"I'm Anabelle McPhearson, Annie for short. And I'm your sister." she said. Then she wrapped her arms around my waist and cried and cried. I stood there afraid to move. I had a sister who was dead? Questions spilled through my brain but I was too shocked too even focus on one of the. Unknowingly I hugged her back and shared my tears once again with her.
Daniel's POV:
I was tired of sitting here and not doing anything. Cindy getting her kneck sliced open was a sign. A sign that we needed to hurry up and find Huey and Sophie before something bad happened to them. I saw the way Riley ran in here and it was clear he still loved Cindy which made me feel worse. I was dating the girl who caused this all and some of their negative energy towards her was going to me. I knew I was suppose to stick by her side but we hadn't talk ever since she yook advantage of me. I walked over to Riley and sat next to him.
"How ya doin bro?" I asked.
He shrugged. "Been better." he said with a smirk. Then leaned forward and brought his hat farther down his face. "She da dumbest bitch ever." he said but I knew he really didn't mean when he called her a bitch.
I patted his back. "You do know we really have to find Huey and Sophie now right?" I asked.
Riley looked up as if remebering them again. He stood up and walked quickly over to Natasha waking her up.
"AAAAHHHH!" Natasha screamed swatting him away. "What the fuck Riley?" she asked angrily.
He shrugged it off. "When ya said y'all found Cindy ya said it was anote next to her head." he said rapidly. Out of nowhere Jazmine and Ceaser popped up next to Riley interested in what was going on.
"Yea and?" she asked sleepily. Riley grabbed her and shook her again but this time laughed (he was just doing that to mess with her.) "I SAID I'M UP!" Natasha yelled her voice shaking.
Riley let go. "Where da note at?" he asked.
She reached over to her purse and grabbed out the note and handed it to Riley. Then stood up and yawned. Riley snatched the note from her and started to read it silently to himself. Natasha took a side glance at me and I could feel the tension rising. I kept my eyes on Riley as I felt her burn a whole through my head.
"What does it say? What does it say?" Jazmine asked running after Riley and trying to grab the note.
"Its a phone number." he said.
Before anyone could stop her Jazmine whipped out her phone and snatched the number from Riley. She quickly dialed the number and then put it on speaker phone for us all to hear. Everytime the phone rung I could feel all our bodies tense up. Finally just when Jazmine considered hanging up someone answered.
"Hello?" it was a womans voice and it sounded like she was a very calm person almost too calm.
"Um yes Hi this is Jazmine Dubios-"
"Did you say Dubios? As of Jazmine Dubios?" the woman asked but still kept her voice calm.
Jazmine looked at us and we all shared confused looks. "Yes thats me. I found your note."
"Oh yes I see. I'm sorry about your friend but I know who did it and how to get them back." you could picture her smirking as she said that.
"Really?" jazmine asked excitedly. "How?" she asked.
The woman snickered through the phone. "You don't think I'm going to tell you this easy? Meet me at the big oak trre. You know the one you and the boy who's missing always go?" she asked snickering again.
"Wait-"
But then the woman hung up and we were sitting there all dumbfounded on what we should do.
"Should we do it?" I asked.
"No it could be a trap!" Natasha exclaimed.
"Or it could help us with finding Huey and Sophie." Ceaser countered.
I looked over at Jazmine and Riley waiting for them to say something. Jazmine looked exactly like a girl version of Huey. She had on his normal scowl except it was because she was thinking really hard about it. Riley looked dazed as if he wasn't really listening.
"What do you guys think?" I asked breaking their trains of thought.
"Huh?" Riley asked finally snapping into focus.
"About the thing!" I said.
"Oh um I think-"
"We're going." Jazmine said breaking in with fierceness I've never heard before.
We all nodded our heads suddenly agreeing. I realized that we needed most was a leader sorta and Jazmine stepped up to the plate it was amazing.
"So when do we go?" Natasha asked.
Jazmine yawned. "Tomorrow morning after we visit Cindy." she said.
We allnodded again and then each went our seperate ways. Just as I was about to leave I caught one more glance at Jazmine and wondered why she looked so much different now in my eyes.
Author's Note: Woo this chapter was something! Can you believe Annie is Cindy's sister wtf is that about?! I t was so sad that Cindy's mom replaced Cindy and never told anyone about Annie she is not a good mother AT ALL. What's up with the lady they called is it a trap or is she really trying to help them? Who knows? Also Daniel (for now) does not like Jazmine he just see's her as more mature which she is sorta. Next chapter we check in on Huey and Sophie again stay tuned for more!
Reviews are love :)
