Jane.
“Eat, you little brats!” I yelled at the defiant twins. They just stared at me and the girl suddenly started crying.
“Sheesh!” I yelled, going to where she was. I held my hand, as if to slap her, and she kept quiet.
They were both seated on metallic chairs at the dining table. I had chained them together, by connecting the chain to each of their legs. The girls left leg was connected to the boy’s right leg. They had been nutty all day and I was beginning to get fed up with their antics. Who knew that taking care of two little rascals would be such a hard job? To be honest, their behavior was making me want to throw them out on the street but I needed to have them with me. If they got lost, I’d never get what I wanted. Instead, Ridian would murder me as soon as he saw me.
“I’m going to kill you if you don’t eat,” I told them.
They just stared ahead. I slapped the boy’s cheek. He didn’t move, didn’t cry.
“Okay, if you want to starve, do so. I don’t care.” I went around the table and sat down. I started eating my delicious spaghetti while they watched. I ate like I didn’t care about them, and before long, they had started eating. I wanted to mock them but decided to stay silent so they could continue eating. I couldn’t have them dying on me due to starvation.
I had just finished lunch when I sensed a human scent in the property. I waited for the person to knock in vain. When I stood up, I was shocked to see someone running away from my back window. I threw the door open and ran after them. He was a teenage boy who thought he could run fast. I caught up with him in no time. He was shocked at how fast I was.
“That lady paid me to do it,” the boy said, pointing at the house of the woman who had refused to help me on the previous day.
Seething, I let him go. He ran as fast as he could. I turned and headed to the lady’s house. I tried the front door but it wouldn’t open. I went around to the back and tried that one as well. It didn’t open so I kicked it will all my strength. It fell apart and I stepped in. a loud scream came from inside. I rushed upstairs and found the source. She kept screaming out loud as I opened that door as well. Consumed by anger, I stepped it and grabbed her. “Shut up.”
She spat at me. That was it. I snapped her neck, heard the bones crack and tossed her to the floor. When I looked out of the window, I saw two women and a man coming up the drive way. I super speeded to the back yard before running towards my house.
“Hey!” the man screamed.
“Go after her,” one of the women told him. “I’ll call the police.”
The man found me trying to duct tape the mouths of the children. He charged at me and I turned before breaking his neck. The children screamed when he hit the floor but their screams were muffled by ducttape. I grabbed both of them and dragged them out of the house while they tried to resist. They were too weak to resist. The women in the street were screaming as they saw me drag the chained twins to the car. I tossed them in the back, locked the windows and got into the car and drove off.
A car tried to block my exit but I knocked it off the road. I could hear sirens coming from one side of the road so I went the other side, driving as fast as I could. I nearly knocked down and incoming car which ended up crashing in the middle of the street. That would delay the cops. Smiling, I continued to get out of there. Living with humans was clearly not as easy as I had thought. Although they were physically weak, they were quite smart. I had no money and no idea where I was going but I knew I would survive.
The twins were trying to break down the windows but I ignored them until I reached a secluded section of the highway. Thankfully, I had not yet unloaded some of my boxes from the car. I stopped the car and went to the back where I retrieved a black box which had certain equipment. I pulled out some ropes and a sharp knife. Opening the window, I warned the twins.
“If you try anything, you’ll end up like everyone who has tried to cross me today. If you ever want to see your sister again, you better behave. I’m going to take you back to her when she gives me what I wanted. But if you decide to be problematic, I may kill one of you or both.”
After that, they behaved fairly well. They cried as I bound their hands one after the other. When I was back, I went to take inventory of what I had. I was overjoyed when I saw a wad of cash in one of the boxes. Bless beta Adam. It was thanks to him that I had been able to pull such a great plan. If I succeeded in what I wanted, I was going to go back and thank him.
Rody had told me about his brother Tom and where he lived. I searched for the small piece of paper with his address and found it in the glove compartment. Smiling, I dialed the number on my small phone.
“It’s Jane,” I said. “I believe Rody told you and out me.”
“Did things go wrong?” he asked.
“Yep.”
“Okay, you can come to my place. I’ll get rid of everyone before you arrive. Where are you?”
I gave him my locations.
“You’ll be here in about twenty minutes.”
“Thank you so much.”
“It’ll be my pleasure to take care of you.”
I sighed. At least I had a place to stay. The next course of action would start soon.
