Belinda’s p.o.v

I heard unsettling laughter, I turned my head to what I expected to be Justin, but no instead I saw Millie sitting beside me with vodka in her hand. She smiled once she noticed I was awake. “Hey there sleepy head” She said, I looked around and saw that we were in Justin’s shed but the buckles that were once around my wrist and ankles had been undone. “I thought I might just go ahead and undo those considering they were pretty tight” She alisema before taking a sip of her vodka. I closed my eyes and look down, the whole where Justin has stabbed me was gone. “How did you?” I asked she smiled. “The perks of being a dead slayer, I guess” She alisema smiling. She put her drink down and got up. “Speaking of dead bitchy slayers...how are your sisters?” She asked, I smiled and then relaxed a bit. Millie and I in the past had been close, even if she had hated Ruby and Tayce and the felt the same about her; it had crushed me when she died.

“They’re fine” I said, she rolled her eyes. She picked up her drink and offered it to me, I first shook my head but then considering the circumstances I changed my mind and took a long sip. “So I guess you’re wondering if you’re dead” She asked, I smiled and then nodded. “Yeah, am I?” I asked it shocked me our mellow I was uigizaji with this whole thing. She smiled and shook her head no, with her long pale white hair shaking along with it. “Nope, shocking really wewe were only mauled kwa a goddamn werewolf...they were only really good for one thing” She alisema winking at me; I shivered imagining Justin like that. “So what’s going on?” I asked she smiled. “Well it’s kind of complex. But well when wewe blacked out wewe were going to die but then something stopped you” She told me, I nodded. She took a deep breath and then she continued. “I stopped you” She said, she finally looks back at me. I didn’t know if I should have thanked her au not, I was thankful that she had saved me but she looked so guilty. I smiled and put my hand on hers. “Then why the sad face?” I asked, she sighed and pulled her hand from under mine, and turned to face the other side. “Because Belinda there’s a catch” She alisema slowly, I nodded that was something I had already figured out, there’s no such thing as cheating death. “You’re going to come back different” She said, I nodded. “I’m not sure I know what wewe mean” I told her, I heard a slight sob. “It’s done and I’m sorry, but I couldn’t let wewe become like me” she sobbed. I cupped her chin so that she was facing me. “For wewe to come back, one of your sisters needs to die” She said, her words echoed through me.

“What do wewe mean?” I asked, she sobbed and then cupped my chin. “I had to save you, I upendo wewe Belinda. Although we weren’t sisters I have always felt that wewe were just like one. I couldn’t let wewe die, not like that anyway” She sobbed. I nodded and hoped she would go on. “I pulled some strings with a witch she alisema that if I were to bring wewe back I would have to kill either Ruby au Tayce. I know it sounds horrible but I had to, so I could save you” She said, I rolled my eyes. “Who is it going to be” I asked, she shrugged and then wiped another tear that was falling down her white pale face.

Ruby’s p.o.v

Kale and I decided to take his car back, it was nearly midnight and not to mention the cold. We were both silent, the only sound between us was the husky sound of car against the road, he seemed bothered, most likely it was because of me. I watched his tan fingers switch the heater on. He didn’t even give me a gaze; his eyes were steady on the road. I cleared my throat and looked out the window, we past trees after trees. It made me wonder how Mbwa mwitu loups found their way around, everything looks the same, and I heard him shift uncomfortably. I then decided that this silence wasn’t doing us any good, so I broke it. “When did wewe fist find out wewe were a werewolf?” I asked he turned to me, surprised that I had asked him such a unique and personal question. He cleared his throat. “When I was 14, my father took me out hunting. He would usually take my brothers but this time I came with him. We took different tracks and I ended up near a waterhole, didn’t think much of it at first until I saw a couple of Mbwa mwitu loups drinking near the end. The mother got protective and jumped me, scratched me up real bad, and then inayofuata thing I knew I was a wolf” he said, I nodded and then turned to him again. He seemed zaidi comfortable, I didn’t know one thing about him, favourite foods, where he was born.” So wewe turn when your life is threatened?” I asked he simply nodded. “Bobby turns when he’s angry and Justin...I’m not really sure” he told me, I smiled imagining Bobby getting angry.

“How’d wewe know wewe were a protector?” I asked he smirked at me and the turned his head back to the road. “I didn’t at first until I met Lilly, she told Bobby, Justin and me the deal, what wewe were. Bobby knew as soon as Tayce’s name came up. Justin and I on the other hand didn’t know who, Justin for obvious reasons but I didn’t know until wewe walked into Lilly’s house screaming curse words and covered in vampire blood” he said, he alisema this seriously not one little crack of joke. “I remember that’s the siku after Millie died. Lilly went all lockdown on slayers” I said, he nodded and then turned a corner, and then stopped. I looked up and expected to find our beautiful white house, but instead I saw Kale’s house. “What are we doing here?” I asked he smiled. “Belinda and Tayce are here” he said, I nodded and then got out.

Tayce was on the front step with Bobby, they both looked tired as well as scared. Bobby stood up and walked over to Kale, he alisema something that was too low for me to hear. I chose to ignore it and walked ahead to Tayce. She still looked angry with me, when wasn’t she? “Hey, wewe okay?” I asked, she looked up and rolled her eyes. “I thought kwa now wewe would be sniffing a line” She said, she stood then stood up and walked away, into the house. I rolled my eyes and followed her. “You are the biggest hypocrite” I said, she laughed as she turned to me. She walked towards me, until she was a couple of inches away from me. “Oh, I’m the hypocrite?” she asked, I nodded and she crossed her arms. “Yeah, I took drugs like once, for good reasons. You’ve slept with the entire east coast!” I screamed she didn’t look hurt as I alisema this, but I continued. “Are wewe sure wewe didn’t fall into Justin’s bed!” I screamed, this time I had hit something she walked mbele but before she could do anything I heard the front door opened, kale and Bobby must have heard us. “Well you’re not virgin Mary either!” She yelled back. I laughed and then walked over to the liquor cabinet; I took the vodka and took a long sip. “Is everything okay?” Bobby asked, Tayce nodded and looked away from me. I put the bottle down and then nodded. “Yeah, just peachy” I alisema walking into kales room, locking the door.

Belinda’s p.o.v

“You don’t know!” I screamed, she nodded and then looked up at me. For the sekunde I looked at her stressed tied face, I felt pity. But I put that feeling aside. “They’re your sisters to!” I yelled she nodded. She didn’t need to say anything; as much as the slayers upendo one another I could see why we would chose one over another, I had learnt this from Leah. “I know, but it came to a choice wewe au one of them” She alisema in an unsettling tone, I shivered at the thought of one of my sisters dying. “Could it be Leah?” I asked she shrugged. “I don’t think it counts she’s no longer a slayer, not since she stared banging that blood-sucker. Talk about attention seeker” She said, rolling her eyes. I sighed and got up, I walked over to the place where the door was, and it was open. “Can I walk out of it?” I asked, she smiled and got up. Her tears were gone as if she was faking it. “That’s entirely up to you” She alisema walking towards me, she smirked and pushed the door a little zaidi open.

I could see the beautiful forest clearly. I walked out and decided to run to the house. Thinking that maybe just maybe my sisters would be there, I ran faster and faster until I couldn’t feel the ground under me. I found myself in front of the door. I opened it and smiled. “Hello?” I yelled I saw no one. “Give it back Leah!” I heard a familiar voice yell. I turned to see Tayce. She looked different; she had a face of make-up and was fighting with Leah over her phone. Something wasn’t right. “Like it, how horror movie is this?” Millie asked behind me. I turned to see her smiling. “What is this?” I asked she smiled. “Your High school days, just before wewe all became slayer well before we became slayers” She said. “Ruby I will kick your punda give me the lip-gloss” I heard my voice yell. And then before my eyes I alisema Ruby running away from me. “No, wewe need to stop putting on the make-up. wewe look like a hooker” She said, laughing.

“I do not” younger me yelled. I remembered this day, what Ruby would say next. How happy we all looked. “Stop it” I heard Lilly yell; I turned to see Lilly holding a bag of groceries. I turned to Tayce who I knew would come and help Lilly, Ruby rolled her eyes and passed the lip-gloss back to me. Leah smiled. Her bright teeth showing, she brushed her dark brown hair back, her tan skinned glowed in the sunlight. She ran over to Ruby and put her arm around Ruby, the two were inseparable in high school. I turned to Millie, who just as I did I saw the younger her come running through the front door. “Sorry, I’m late” She alisema chucking her school bag on the floor. There we all were the beautiful one, the smart one, the wild one, the bitchy one and the free one in other words the screwed up spice girls. “You did this, wewe always were a bitch” I said, she laughed. “I met Justin two years ago. Just before I died, he was amazing. And he wasn’t happy when I died either” She said.

Kale’s p.o.v

I turned to Tayce. “What was that about?” I asked she gave me a shrug. Bobby turned to me and did the same. “She pissed me off” She simply said, I rolled my eyes and then turned to Bobby. “Where’s Justin?” I asked. His eyes lit up and he ran upstairs. “Shit, Shit” he shouted as he opened the door to the seller, to find it empty. He ran back down and swore some more, we got the picture. “He’s not there?” she asked, her voice was shaky, I cleared my throat. “He’s got to be somewhere” I suggested they both looked at me as if they wanted to believe that. “Let’s just split” I began but before I could go no, I heard someone scream. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. The door wasn’t looked so I just opened it, but to my surprise instead of finding Ruby sitting there, I found Belinda standing up screaming,
