“Hey, I’m sorry for being late.” Rachel looked over to see her sister walking through the door, closing it. She was sitting on the brown leather couch. Her emerald eyes glanced from the comic book she was reading over to Lilly. “It’s alright, did you have a good time at your friend’s?” She asked curiously, going back to the book, flipping a few pages. “Yeah, Delia was pretty happy that everyone showed up to her party. Wished you would’ve come though.” Lilly knew Rachel had some stuff to do. She was still taking self defense classes a few blocks away at the same time. “The timing would’ve been great if it wasn’t at that time. Sorry, sis.” Rachel sighed, deciding to mark the page in her book, setting it on the desk. She quickly grabbed her laptop to listen to some music that she hadn’t illegally download. Well, at least not yet. “Don’t worry about it.” Lilly walked over to the the rocking chair across from her, sitting down. The blonde haired girl crossed her pale arms across her chest, “They wanted to tell you hi. You should hang out with them some time with me.” She grinned, “It’ll be fun.” Rachel sighed, grabbing a small bag of chips by the comic book she put down, grabbing one out of it. She munched on it, ignoring the fact it was almost midnight and she really shouldn’t be eating anything this late, but you live only once, “Not too sure if I’m fond of Sierra and her clique though. Rose had a pretty bad falling out with them. They literally called those bastards over there to harass them the night I saved her.” She started typing out her password on the computer while she was talking to her sister. “Eh, I tolerate them.” Lilly shrugged before plopping onto the couch, nudging her older sister on the shoulder, “You could see Jack though. It would be great to see you two interact again…” “Are you implying I should date him?” Rachel rolled her eyes, “He’s just a kid who sits behind me in study hall, you know?” This was irritating. Just because she made one male friend does not mean he’s boyfriend material, “He just talks to me.” Lilly chuckled, “Eh, he’s a nice kid. Gets bullied by a couple of people you kicked around when you were a sophomore.” She remembered that pretty well. She walked into it too. “Yeah, I remember getting suspended for that. Mom was pretty pissed.” Rachel shivered at her mom’s anger. She was one scary woman. At least she was on a work trip right now. She clicked to view her emails only to find a odd one. The hell was that? It was from an unknown person. What a joke. “Jeez,” Rachel laughed, closing out the email before shutting her laptop, “That’s some high class email scam.” She said sarcastically, rolling her eyes, putting her laptop by the comic book and chips, yawning. “What? Did you get one of those ‘wait now and you’ll win such and such’ emails?” Lilly asked, tilting her head to the side playfully. “Eh, it’s worse, it’s like they never tried to make it obvious.” She sat up, yawning once again, “Damn, I’m getting sleepy all of a sudden. You shouldn’t stay up too late, you have a Volleyball tournament tomorrow morning.” She stretched out, walking into her room to go to sleep. [b]XXXX[/b] Beep beep BANG! A punch to the alarm clock next to Rachel’s bed was knocked to the wooden tile floor. Rachel groaned, rolling over in her bed, wanting more sleep, but the alarm kept screaming and it was unfortunately out of her reach now. “God damnit.” She groaned, sitting herself upright, removing the covers to shut the alarm off, only to realize it was near 9am. Was her sister up yet? She had to check… She rushed out of the room into her sister’s room, opening the door, “Lilly?!” She yelled only to noticed that she wasn’t in the room. Well, she probably got up to go then, but wait, her Volleyball stuff was in her room. That’s odd. It seemed like she did leave, but just to make sure... Rachel immediately looked in the bathroom to see that Lilly wasn’t there. She raced into the kitchen, noticing there was no sight of her sister. She looked around in the living room as well. It was like her sister forgot her stuff or something. Rachel rushed into her room, grabbing a few clothes and throwing them on before running out of her house, running to see if her sister had been around either. Everything, was pretty damn bare for Chicago. On a Saturday morning nonetheless. In fact, it had be the first time in her life that she hadn’t seen anyone around the streets. What the hell is happening? Anxiety came crashing around, feeling her heart sank. Did some purge happen while she was asleep or something? What the fuck? Or was she blocking people out so much at this point she couldn’t see them anymore? Ha, if only she was that lucky. Something else was going on. She decided to speed up her running. Now, she decided she needed to find at least someone. “This is crazy.” She muttered. It was like straight out of a comic book or something. Did aliens abduct people or something? I mean, she would probably piss them off pretty badly. She stopped, scratching the back of her head, “Oh hell no, this better not be a real thing. I hope I’m dreaming.” She sighed, deciding to look around for people.
