The mute goddess chapter 4

Rhapsody thought that the couch was really soft even though it was a horrid shade of pink. The girl's aunt house felt like being in a bakery. It sure smelled like one. The only thing that made Rhapsody uncomfortable was a girl about her age (16) sitting across from her on the other couch. The girl looked like she was trying to kill
Rhapsody with her eyes. Rhapsody was pretty sure the girl would have had her for lunch but it seemed the two six-foot-two male teenagers were stopping her from doing that. The girl scoffed causing Valentine to let out a low growl. Rhapsody took in her surroundings. It was very different from her old home. While the one she lived in was painted black and the halls were bare, this house screamed its valentine's day.

"You can sit down." Rhapsody signed to her apparent bodyguards who were having a glare-down with the other girl. Valentine scoffed and took a seat to the right of Rhapsody. "I rather stand thank you." Jamad said giving a small bow with his newly dyed green hair falling in front of his eyes.

"In other words, valentine took advantage of you again." Rhapsody signed with a grin causing the brothers to blush.

"I thought you two were gay." The girl said. Rhapsody thought her tone was like a jar of honey spiked with poison. "Who the hell are you." Valentine hissed.

~Val's POV~

This was insanity. Why was he sitting in a house that felt like a cremate oven. Damn his brother. Valentine made a mental memo to take advantage of him again later that night. It was now 7:30 on a Friday. He should be home setting booby-traps for his brother.

Another thing that was pissing Valentine off was the un- identified girl sitting across from him. The only thing Valentine disliked more then his brother, were people who looked like they just came from candy land. He shuddered.

"Bear with it. sooner or later her mask is going to be stuck that way." Rhapsody signed.

"Mask. That girl's face is an insult to masks! why are you being so nice?" Valentine asked. The other girl hissed at him. "See Val, I told you I know a snake when I see one. " His brother replied.

"I AM NOT GOING TO SIT HERE AND LET YOU INSULT ME!" The girl yelled.

"Well nobody is stopping you from leaving." Valentine informed.

~Rhapsody's POV~

The girl glared at him. "MELODY BE NICE!" A voice yelled from the kitchen. Rhapsody's aunt Terri came in waving a spatula. The silver-haired women was kind of thick and 5'7. "Sorry children this is my daughter Melody." Terri explained.

It all made sense to Rhapsody now. Valentine chuckled. Rhapsody could tell it was going to be a long dinner.

"Why are we here again?" Valentine asked.

"BECAUSE Rhapsody needs support and you owe me." Jamad answered.

Valentine scowled. "Since when did you become so smitten with her?" He asked.

"Since when do you care?" Jamad asked.

They were now sitting at the kitchen table. Rhapsody started to giggle.

"What are you so happy about?" The twins asked in unison.

"Nothing. I just love dinner and a show." Rhapsody signed. The teen made an X with her fingers.

"X?" Jamad asked.

Valentine chuckled. "Honey you don't even know anything about that letter." he stated.

"I do now that I have met you two." Rhapsody signed.

"What's this about the letter X?" Terri asked setting the food on the table.

"Oh nothing, its the twins favorite letter." Rhapsody signed. Terri made a face. "I'm sorry darling, i don't speak sign language." she apologized. Valentine chuckled. "She said that X was our favorite letter."

"Why?" Terri asked putting food on the teens plates.

Rhapsody started to giggle.

"UGH!" Melody exclaimed.

'What is her problem?" Rhapsody signed to Jamad.

"That time of the month?" Jamad answered.

"Bad break-up?" Valentine replied.

"Just plain crazy?" They said in unison.

Terri pinched Melody. "Sorry, melody is still adjusting."

"So..you are my aunt?" Rhapsody signed.

Terri frowned.

"She asked if you are really her aunt." Jamad translated.

Terri looked insulted. "What i want to know is what all this talk of murder and kidnapping is about." Valentine stated.

Rhapsody nodded in agreement. Terri sighed and started to tell them how Rhapsody was kidnapped. Apparently Rhapsody's Imposter-mother was the one who delivered Rhapsody. How Rhapsody's birth name was Classic. Terrie explained how the woman and her husband broke into Rhapsody's real parents house and took her by force. Thus killing Rhapsody's father, her other aunt, and how they almost killed her mother.

"So where is Rhapsody's mother?" The twins asked in unison. Rhapsody was thankful for them. They were like guardian angels. Asking the hard questions for her.

Terri scowled. "She cut off all communication with us and went back to her home town." She stated with resentment.

The brothers nodded understanding. "So is Rhapsody..well i guess Classic going to stay with you or is her mother going to come for her?" Valentine asked.

While the twins were playing the role of investigators, Rhapsody looked at her surroundings. The kitchen had the fell like the one where she read the tale of hansel and gretel. She felt like she was going to devoured any minute.

"I honestly do not know." Terri replied.

"Have you been trying to find her?" Valentine asked. Terri scowled. "No matter your feelings towards her, you should try to let her know her daughter is still alive." Valentine reprimanded.

"She doesn't care." Terri said.

"If she did not care about her daughter, she would have never left." Jamad stated.

"If she cared she would have stayed with us and searched." Terri hissed.

"You are taking this awfully personally." Jamad replied. "Like-"

"You and Classic's mother were closer than we know." Valentine finished.

Rhapsody/Classic made a face. Jamad chuckled. "after all you've seen my brother and i do, you're making a face now?" he asked. Apparently he found Rhapsody/Classic's reaction funny.

"You know nothing." Terri hissed.

"Then why won't you TRY to contact her?!" The twins yelled in unison.

"We probably will not be able to find her!" Terri shouted. "What's the point in trying?!"

"You said probably." Jamad replied.

"So there is still hope!" Valentine yelled.

Rhapsody/Classic turned her head towards a hissing sound. A cold chill going through her spine and making her shiver when she saw what it was.

There stood Melody in a shiny green tunic, way different from the candy apparel she was wearing earlier. But instead of looking too sweet, she had snakes for hair and her eyes were red. "ABANDON ALL HOPE. ALL WHO ENTER HERE." She hissed.

"GORGON." Rhapsody signed screaming as her arms suddenly became heavy and her world went dark.

~Val's POV~

He didn't know why, but he knew to close his eyes. Suddenly Classic's screams stopped and, who he guessed was Jamad, Shoved him out of the kitchen doorway. "Get down!" He yelled.

"What the fuck?!" Valentine exclaimed.

The twins heard laughter and the air suddenly turned cold. "Damn." Jamad stated.
