Chapter #6someone I don't know. by: Near You didn't want to involucrate anyone that you knew, in case something went wrong. Carmen had the kind of personality of taking things to extremes giving the opportunity. So, hoping for the best but preparing for the worst, you said...
"I think I prefer someone I don't know... Someone not related to me..."
"Alright little brother, I was hoping that you would say that!" she said, winked at you and left the room, leaving you there and with the doubt, who would she select?
"Wait!" you shouted, " I didn't drink..." you finished with a whisper. What was she planning? Change herself with another person and then come back? Make another person drink from the bowl and then make you change them with? You hoped that whatever it was, it wouldn't cause a problem later on the line.
You heard your sister leaving the house when she closed the door from one hit. How much should you wait... "One hour... Two..." You couldn't go out because she could come at any minute and it was still morning, so you decided to play games meanwhile you waited...
***
It was afternoon and your sister hasn't come back. You have lost a precious day waiting for her and even after you messaged her, she had left you in read.
Luckily for you, your eldest sister Erica has come to visit and you had been enjoying a chat with her since then. She had trash talked her boss and ex-boyfriend and now she was becoming sentimental.
"You know... sometimes I wish that I could change and be other peoples" she told you after she told you about her friend Emma, that was engaged to a rich European that sold premium wines. She wished that her life would have gone different, but nonetheless she loved Melody, her daughter.
You could only laugh when she told you this... maybe you should have gone to talk with Erica instead of Carmen...
As you though of this Carmen make herself know entering the Kitchen, "Hello Family! Hello little..." she stopped when she saw Erica, "Wow little bro, didn't know you had an older girlfriend... that's my bro for you!"
Bro?
"What are you talking about!" Erica said between laughs "I wanted to see my favorites brothers and sisters, but John told me you went out"
"Hahaha, yes... I was with... some friends" Carmen answered awkwardly. In her hands she had the bowl and her tone of voice was weird, as if she was trying to talk in falsetto, "anyway,,, I'm here and... ummm..." she started looking at you.
"Yes?" Erica was confused, it was the first time that she - or you - had seen Erica acting like that.
"I need to talk with little bro.... come with me!" Carmen said taking you from the wrist.
"O-okay"
Taking you upstairs, she stopped in the hall looking everywhere. Looking back at you she asked to talk in your room, so the both of you went there.
"Heeey bro!" she started when you were inside. "Ready to change?"
"Carmen, what is wrong with you?" you asked concerned. Not even drunk she had acted like a fraternity brother - wait... fraternity brother - "Are you-"
"Come here" she interrupted you, avalanching over you with bowl in hand, trying to force feed you to drink the water.
"Wait a-!" but you couldn't finish the sentence as you lost your consciousness. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
