"Are you okay?" Anna asked gently patting her friend's back.
"Hmm," Debby replied but shrugged her friend's hand off her back. She rinsed her mouth at the tap and looked at her friend who stood innocently behind her. "Two people," she says still looking at their reflections in the mirror.
"Uh?" Anna asked shocked by that sudden statement from her friend.
"Two people have died how many people more?" Debby asked seriously. She leaned on the wash hand basin. Her grip on it tightened until her knuckles turned white.
"I don't know what you are talking about Debby," Anna replied sincerely. She did not know what to feel anymore. Just yesterday Debby defended her but right now she was getting accused by her best friend.
"Rose too . . . was it because of you?" Debby watched Anna gasp her expression showing the pain she felt but at this point, Debby did not know who to trust. "The fire, was it because Rose is your sister? Did Rose get stabbed because she is your sister? Did Claire really die because of you? Did you kill the Coleman boy too?"
"Oh goodness . . ." Anna groaned running her fingers through her short black hair. She pulled her hair gently as she looked at the look of accusation on Debby's face. Even if she might have wanted to hurt Claire more than she did with the slaps she gave her in front of the whole school, she will never want Rose to get hurt. "I . . ." she began but the words could not escape her lips.
"This is too much of a coincidence, don't you think so too?" Debby asked. "You should know something. First it was you then, it was Claire, then Jace, then Rose before the Coleman. You are the key to all these. You know who is doing all these. I am scared. I don't know if I will get hurt just because I spoke to you in such a manner. I just hope you hurt me alone and not along with my family."
"Debby, listen to yourself," Anna cried frustrated, "Do you really think all these happened because of me? What about when I was dying the hospital? What about me? You know what happened to me. If it is an enemy don't you think they will go after my family? If it is a friend don't you think they will go after my enemies? But why then are my friends and enemies suffering? Shouldn't that make you know that it is all a coincidence? It is not my fault."
"Okay," Debby gave her a quick uninterested answer.
"I know you don't believe me but I am saying the truth. I know nothing about any of these. I am frustrated. I am tired of knowing there is someone haunting me and everyone I love and hate. I am way more frustrated than you are right now," Anna complained visibly tired of the whole drama. She sighed and looked up to hold back the tears that blurred her vision from spilling.
"I don't know what to say Anna but I am very scared right now. I don't know who is going to be next after all I am your friend. I heard Coleman's sister was kidnapped last night and she is still missing. All these are too much of a shock for me. If whoever it is was only after your enemies, it would have been understandable but when he goes after your sister, I really don't know what to say about that," Debby explained. She turned away and rubbed her face.
"What do you mean?" Rose asked from the door completely confused by the conversation she overheard.
"Rose . . ." the two girls chorused shocked to see Rose at the door. They looked like they had some really serious secret they were trying hard to keep from her and she happened to overhear a bit of that secret.
"What about me? Who is coming after me?" Rose asked looking from Anna to Debby and back to Anna.
"No one," Debby gave her a quick answer. She felt she could not stay in the restroom with the two sisters with the heavy blanket of tension and awkwardness that filled the room. She headed to the door but Rose held her hand and prevented her from going out of the restroom.
For the first time since she met Rose, she got to see Rose show a good amount of displeasure on her face. Rose always seemed to mask her feelings under her beautiful obligatory smiles. She found herself staring at Rose shocked that she forgot the situation they were in. She envied how beautiful Rose looked even when she was angry.
Rose was not satisfied with the answer she got from Debby and she was not pleased with the way Debby stared at her as though she was dumbfounded and totally had no idea about the reason why she asked the question she asked when she walked in on them talking about whatever it is they were talking about. It was best she gets to know who her enemy was and who was after her than being ignorant and die for an unknown reason.
She was worried that the person knew about her real identity to come after her. Lots and lots of possibilities passed her mind which made her very much displeased. Her thoughts were running wild while her sister and her friend stood looking at her like she grew a horn in the middle of her forehead like a unicorn.
"This is not funny,' she reminded them of the situation.
"Oh," Anna said coming out of her trance. She was also staring at the new expression she got to see on her sister's face. She felt hurt seeing her sister look at her in that manner. She has seen Rose being really serious but this was the most serious expression she has gotten to see on her sister's face. She wondered what expression her sister will give her when she finds out that she might be connected to the painful thing she experienced only a few months ago.
