Chapter 35 - Second Strike

Hey little sister, Timothy's voice had a tinge of mischievousness as he patted her head. Earl sighed, the stress of seeing this guy everyday was taking a toll on her, she even finished her exam fast so she could leave early, but nope, he still caught up to her.

Hey there big brother, she forced a big smile, you're out pretty early today, you too, Earl.

A wave of shock hit her upon hearing her name, causing gulped hard.

Why do you pretend to be my sister whenever you see me, and why did you sneak into my house the other day, Timothy backed her up to a wall and asked sternly. Ermm, mhmm, she cleared her throat, actually funny story, she looked down, her eyes all over the place contemplating what to say. Ermmm, actually the reason was, your not gonna believe this, "etchew", she pretended to sneeze in his face, giving her an opening to make a run for it. Hmm, interesting, Timothy leaned against the wall and watched her run off, I wonder what my little sister and her group have against them.

What's wrong Earl?, Eden noticed her spacing out. Nothing, erm I just remembered going into Eve's art room, I had goosebumps all over, qthere was a terrible smell that filled the room, most of her paintings were of massacred bodies, and I could swear they were all made from real blood, she gagged.

That's disgusting, Mia expressed, I'm so sorry you had to see that, Esme added. Those devil's are definitely going to pay for all their wrong doings, we are going to crash their party and snatch one of them right from under their noses, Eden hyped. Hands in, Jaded teens in three, one, two, three, Jaded teens, they all yelled and threw their hands up.

See that, I told you they were definitely going to come, Eden smiled watching them walk in from the stairs. Ugh, I and that idiot Earl are wearing the same color, yh but it suits you better than that street rat, Eden adjusted the strap of Eve's burgundy dinner gown.

So what's our plan to separate them, Esme grabbed a glass of champagne from one of the waiters and chugged it. Esme, no drinking, we need all our focus, Eden reprimanded. Yay, we're matching, Eden grabbed Louise who was walking up the stairs, they were both dressed in black. Is Marcus coming, he'll be here soon, Eve replied, why do you ask, I was just wondering if you've ever seen Marcus around them before, I mean they have been to his house before, they might be working together to take us down, she explained. Are you kidding me, Eve scoffed and smirked, Marcus would never go against me even if he wanted to, I've got him wrapped around my pinky finger, she twirled her pinky with a quirky smile.

They noticed the Hazel grey at the stairs when they came in, so the jaded teens decided to split up and act like they were enjoying the party, until they eventually split up too, so they could execute their plan. I haven't seen you in school before, but you kinda look familiar, what department are you in, Esme asked a random good looking brown skinned guy dressed in a black tux. I don't go to the school, I'm Eve's chauffeur, Jack, he replied bluntly. Must everything be connected to the Hazel grey, I guess I am at Eve's house, she mumbled to herself and smiled.

Despite the warning, Earl had a few glasses of champagne and danced like her life depended on it. A wave of sorrow hit her, the things she was trying so hard to forget were resurfacing, she stumbled around and found a chair to sit on. She fell back on the couch not bothered to see who was already seated there, she took shaky breath's, feeling like there was a lump in her throat, her lips quivered, fighting the tears that were threatening to flow, she crossed her arms and pouted tearing up. After crying her heart out the day their parents died, she decided to be strong, Eden had been acting weird and spacing out since then, she decided to be strong for Eden because she knew that Eden probably blamed herself for their death.

Little sister, lend me your shoulder, she heard that familiar cool voice followed by a head of fluffy curls resting softly on her shoulder, pulling her out of deep thought. As if she wasn't hot enough from all the drinking and dancing, warmth washed over her body. After he found out who she was, she avoided him at any cost, but she was too tired and stressed for that today so she just accepted her faith.

You know, I was always the dumb twin, if anything came up Triston and Eden always handled it easily, I've always been so useless, she sighed, they're so nice they'd hit me for saying this, she scoffed. What was that, Timothy yelled over the music, Earl just flashed a sad smile in return.

Hi Eden, her face turned sour as Louise approached her, you look good today. She looked the other way practically ignoring him, I have to go, she let out after a sharp breath. She noticed Eden going up alone and decided to take her chance.

Earl, what are you doing here, Jeremy who was been looking for a reason to separate them helped her up, Eden's looking for you, she went upstairs, he directed, giving Timothy the stink eye as soon as she left. So you think you can just come to my school, in my city, and steal my boyfriend, Eden poked her, as both her and Eve ganged up on her.

She had followed just Eden here, it was clear also had something vicious planned.

Eden grabbed her finger and twisted it, causing her to yelp, don't you dare try to scare me, I'm not scared of you, in fact you should be scared of me, because I'm not going to let you live after killing my parents, Eden warned while glaring at her.

Wow, both sisters are here, Eden clapped, now I'm only one street urchin away from killing three birds with one stone. Let's go Eden, Earl grabbed onto her hand, get back here, they both pulled her which quickly turned into a tussle. Let go, they yelled as they pulled each others hair, stop, Eden screamed as they pushed her towards the railing of the balcony. Earl, she screamed and tried to catch her as she toppled over.

Earl, she screamed crying as she ran down the stairs, Esme and Mia who were still at the party, as well as Timothy ran after her. Triston and Jeremy who were at the car coming up front to see the commotion stunned on seeing what had happened. Call an ambulance, Eden screamed crying uncontrollably, holding Earl in her lap, you'll be fine Earl I promise, her hand shivered as she caressed her face. She'll be fine right, she asked Triston who appeared behind her as she hugged him tightly. Jeremy quietly held on to her hand, rubbing it softly as it was going cold.
