which requires another answer.” he replies. “At least let me in.” I say. “Name.” “My name is Kylie Ross.” I answer. He moves out the way and lets me in. “Are you friends with Serenity?” he asks. “Family-friend.” I reply. “Can you get her for me?” I ask. He nods and leaves toward a hallway. Minutes pass by and it feels like eternity passes me by. The man, I think Justin walks back and gestures me to go down the hall. I get up and walk all the way down the dark hallway. At the end I see two bright lamps on the sides of an aqua door, with a sign hanging that says SERENITY . I knock on the door and she opens it. The girl, I’ve been longing to see, finally is here, face to face with me. My sister, the one I haven’t seen in 7 years. All grown up, with her beautiful dirty-blonde hair reaching her middle-back, it curls at the ends, and her blue-green eyes shining off the lamps outside her door, she is very tall, and hypnotizes me with her slim beautifulness. I love her with all my heart, I never did forget her after all these years. The big question is, ‘Does she remember me?’ “Serenity, Do you remember me?” I ask her. “Kylie Ross? Actually I don’t, but the look in your eyes, the smell you made when you entered this room, your resemblance to my parents and I,” she pauses “Your just familiar, it hurts, though it makes me feel pain throughout my body. I feel like someone has thrown a burning match on me, or has stabbed me in the heart, you make me feel weak.” she says. “I never told you my name.” “I never said you did.” she replies. “Then how do you know it? Did Justin tell you?” I ask. “No, Justin never told me your name, and he never told you his name.” she replies. I’m learning that when every minute passes she is being more of a smarty pants. I thought I was bad! “I know Kylie is not your name. I know your someone close to Justin, and me. I’ve seen you before, and I know what you do and I also know you are good at lying at who you are.” she says. I can tell she is not lying when she says those words. She is wise for her age, then again she is my sister. “You may know everything about me, but do you know my real name?” I say. She wait’s a second and puts the facts together. Then she releases my name from her lungs. “Destin Perne. My sister. The one who bailed. Left me with our friend. Now comes to save me because someone wants to kill me,” she pauses. “Is that correct?” she asks me. “I didn’t bail!” I say raising my voice. “Then what do you call it?” she asks. “Not bailing out.” I answered. “I thought so.” “I liked it a lot better when I was at home with Alyson and Amy.” I whisper. Serenity snorts and coughs, “Wimp.” “At least I survived the seven years without trying to be killed.” I say smirking. “The first time I see you in seven years you insult me, and you disgust me.” she says. I raise my eyebrows and smile. “You got to admit, even if you hate and despise me, you HAVE to love me, sorry it’s in the Sister-Hood book.” I say laughing, Serenity joins in. One more question, now what was it again Destin? C’mon think! “Oh yeah! I forgot to ask you something.” I said. “What?” “Does Justin know who I am?” I asked. “He,” she pauses. “He said you looked like, well Destin. But he doesn’t know you are.” she says. “I have to say some magic word to make him remember me.” I say. “I’m going to get my stuff and I guess we can head out.” Serenity explains. “Ok. I’ll be in the living room.” I reply. She says ok and I walk back. “Is she ok?” Justin asks a little mad. “None of your business. I was talking to her, so you don‘t need an answer. Now how does it feel?” I reply smirking. Here goes my plan, now please work! “It is my business! I have to protect her not you! Your just some unimportant girl! So lay off, you don‘t know what I‘ve been through!” he yells. “I’m sorry, she is. But just know, if and when you get to know me, I think you’re the one who’s gonna be laying off.” I reply. “He calms down quickly and I learn he has a HOT TEMPER. “Are you mad at me?” he asks. “How could I be mad at you, I’ve known you since pre-pre-k.” There they are. “Where did you, I how, Destin, I, forgive me.” he stutters. “I didn’t know. You, it was you, that’s why you didn’t want to say your name.” he explains. I nod and smile. “You actually thought my name was Kylie Ross?” I asked surprised. Not that surprised though, I know Justin isn’t good at guessing. I think anyone but him could guess that. “Maybe.” he says smiling. “Thank you for watching, Serenity. I bet it wasn’t that hard since you two love each other. I sigh, thinking about Karter. “Kind of. If you look at it like that.” he replies. I laugh. “Yeah.” “Well, I will be right back. By the way, it’s glad to have you back.” he says. I turn around so he cant see my eyes. Not because I’m avoiding or ignoring him. But because a salty tear rolls down face, and I flash back to the day I sit in the graveyard, with my mascara running, and Serenity saying it’s ok. I remember getting in the car, and watching her fall asleep. Then leaving her. A moment passes, and I see Serenity come down the hallway. “You ready? I just got done packing.” she says. I stand there. Unable to move, and talk. My face gets wet and I think someone threw water on it. Another minute passes and I know even though Serenity is behind me, that she is staring at me, whispering a prayer. My face gets sticky and I realize I must be crying again. I feel my legs lock and my arms straighten more. I hear a door slam, after I stop crying. I can tell it’s the bathroom door, because I know that’s the closest door near me. Justin must’ve had to go to the bathroom. My body starts to tingle. I hear someone talking. I can’t hear what they are saying, and I have very acute ears. Then they get louder and then I translate, what their saying. “Thou Osiris, thy shall love and cherish thy god of death.” they pause. “ Thou Aphrodite, thy shall love and cherish thy goddess of love and hatred.” I hear them say. I then hear their voice clearly and find out it is Serenity since were the only women in the house. Her voice echo’s through the room. It sings around my immobile body. I can’t move my arms but just a little bit. She repeats the prayer. “Osiris, thy shall love and cherish thy god of death.” “Aphrodite, thy shall love and cherish thy goddess of love and hatred.” After she finishes the Hymn my arms feel unscrewed and my legs wobble, and seconds later I am on the ground.


CHAPTER 2: Serenity+(Demon)ica=Cliff-hanger


“I watch as my sister, Destin falls to the ground. I walk next to her where she lays on her back and I kneel on one knee and give Aphrodite a nod and say, “Thank you my goddess.” I tell her and bow. Justin walks out the bathroom and walks over to me. “What happened here?” he asked. I kiss him and say, “I don’t know if I can trust her, I almost killed her, then my gods saved her, I guess this isn’t the time for her to leave this planet.” “You know it won’t be for a long time.” he replies. “Remember what Tara told you.” he continues. ‘She will be different, you will be patient.’” he quotes. “Yeah, I know.” I say rolling my eyes. Seven years of being with him and 100 times he has told me that quote. Sometimes I just wish I lived in a big tree and my best friend was an acorn and I was married to a bottle of ketchup. Also sometimes I think I belong in a Mental Facility. I hear a clicking noise and notice my eyes are closed. I open them and see Justin snapping his fingers in front of my face. I lift my hand up and grab his as a warning to stop doing that. “What do we do now?” he asks. “Huh?” I say dazing in and out. I fall this time, but backwards and Justin catches me. “Are you ok?” Justin asks. “Of course. My skin is made of iron, my heart is made of steel, and my bones are made of gold.” I say smiling. “You used to always say that when we were kids, and you didn’t like me.” he says whispering the last part. I don’t have time for sympathy right now. I stand up all the way and give him a long kiss then tell him I’m sorry. For a few minutes we decide how to get Destin in the car, then we realize we can just pick her up. We grab her cell phone she brought, and bring her to the car.
We drive down the highway singing songs from when we were kids. Destin is still asleep, so I cover her up in a thick blanket and a soft pillow. Justin turns the radio off. “I love that song, it’s awesome, and it tells you about life.” he says smiling. “And the electric guitar solo! My favorite part, I think that’s the best part in the whole song.” I reply. “Eh, it’s all right. I like it when it’s whispering, those words.” he says. “What words?” “I don’t know, they just whisper.” he answers me. “What do you mean?” I ask. “I don’t really have a clue. I mean, they’re just words. Right?” he says. “Now I want to know what they’re saying. Thanks a lot. Maybe they…” I lose my train of thought. “Right?” he asks. I travel back to a different time. I feel someone. Someone with an angry hateful spirit. Someone who wants to kill. Who will do anything, to kill, me. Why do they want to kill me? I don’t know but I want to. I don’t want to die. But I will do anything to kill THEM, if they hurt Destin. I know Justin can take care of himself. Or neither of us would still be alive. I can see them, the, Demon Spirit. Attached to a loving, caring woman. She is scrawny, with black eyes and hair. Death surrounds her. I think about Osiris, the God of Death. Thou Osiris, thy shall love and cherish thy god of death. I get it now, Aphrodite overpowered Osiris to save Destin from my anger. Now I shall die, in her place. I still don’t get it though. Before I said my hymn, I was being watched. Not wanted to be dead I think, but watched. “Serenity, hello?” My vision fazes in and out, for a moment I can’t see. Who is that voice? For a couple of seconds I see white flashing, a white background, with a pale little girl wearing a white dress, that looks like a mini wedding dress. She has crimson eyes and brushed-down silky brown hair. She gives me a smile and says ‘I’m the angel.’. it still
