Chapter 20

Erin was sitting on the couch, drinking her milk as Serenity appeared and sat next to her.

"The sides and I feel like something's going to happen tomorrow." Serenity told her.

"Yep, I can feel the man breaking in through the door." Mira said as she appeared on the back of the couch.

"Just what I needed before bed! Anxious thoughts!" Erin shouted as she walked up to her room, quickly changed and climbed into bed.

The Next Day

Kasey was sitting on the couch downstairs, hanging upside down messaging Theo.

"Whatcha doing?" Katie asked, popping up from behind the couch.

"Texting someone." Kasey looked up at Katie, but not getting up from her position.

"Tell me!" Katie demanded, poking Kasey's knees.

"Oh, look! Noah said he wants to kiss you~" Kasey said, flashing her phone at Katie.

Katie instinctively punched forward, punching Kasey's phone halfway across the room. Kasey gasped and jumped off the couch.

"What the fuck?!" Kasey ran to get her phone,"I was kidding!"

"You scared me!" Katie yelled, rubbing her hand,"That hurt!"

"My phone probably hurts more than your hand!" Kasey picked up her phone and checked it, luckily it wasn't smashed.

"What have I said to you before?" Katie asked, not giving Kasey a chance to respond,"Your phone doesn't have feelings!"

Kasey dramatically gasped as she put her phone in the back pocket of her jeans, "How dare you!"

Kellie walked down the stairs asking, "Who doesn't have feelings?"

"A phone." Katie stated, jumping over the couch and landing on the cushions.

"She punched phoney." Kasey told Kellie.

"Katie, say sorry. Kasey's phone could've smashed." Kellie looked at Katie.

"I'm sorry... Even though you teased me about my boyfriend!" Katie apologized, crossing her arms.

Kellie sighed. "I give up!" Kellie grabbed an apple and walked back upstairs.

"Oh~ So you guys are together now?" Kasey walked over to Katie with a smirk on her face.

Katie covered her mouth, instantly regretting her words. In a fit of embarrassed, Katie kicked Kasey in the shin and dashed to her room.

"Why me?!" Kasey grabbed onto her shin and collapsed onto the couch.

"Because you're a bitch!" Katie shouted from their room.

"You're gonna get it!" Kasey yelled as she got up and sprinted got their room.

Little did Kasey know that Katie had put up a cardboard cutout of their door, right next to their door. Kasey noticed the two doors and ran into the cardboard cut out.

"I'm being assaulted!" She yelled as the cardboard fell on her,"Katie Susan Hilton!"

When Kasey entered the room, she looked around and could not see Katie anywhere.

"Where could she be?" Kasey thought.

Kasey looked under the bed, no Katie.

"Where are you, you little golem?" Kasey asked.

"I'm everywhere but I'm nowhere." Came Katie's voice from her Bluetooth speaker.

Kasey jumped, faintly saying,"What?" As she looked at the speaker.

"Of course I can't! Why else would I be looking for you?" Kasey asked as she picked up the speaker.

"Keep looking, this is fun!" The speaker said.

"Not for me!" Kasey told the speaker as she started to search the room.

"Well, have fun~" The speaker said before falling silent.

"Katie? Katie!" Kasey slammed the speaker on the desk, "This sounds like a horror movie."

Kasey looked inside the wardrobe. Katie wasn't in the wardrobe. Where could she be? Katie always hid in either the wardrobe or under the bed.

"I won't slap you if you come out?" Kasey bargained, pausing for a few seconds.

She shook her head, Kasey knew she hadn't left the room as the door was still shut.

The speaker buzzed before it spoke again,"No chance, I can take a few slaps."

"I don't like this game. Can you just come out?" Kasey asked as she sat on the bed.

"No." The speaker said simply.

"Well fuck you then." Kasey said as she lay back on the bed. "Salem!"

Salem usually always came out when Kasey called him but for some strange reason, he was gone. Not even his bell could be heard.

"Katie, what have you done with Salem?" Kasey asked, sitting up.

"Nothing!" The speaker admitted,"He found me first! We're playing sardines. Oh, you lose, Holland just found me!"

"Are you in the room at least?" Kasey asked, standing up and looking at the floor.

"No, there's your hint!" The speaker told her before going silent once again.

"How did you pass.. I'm not even going to question it." Kasey walked out of the room, taking the speaker eith her, "Can you see me?"

"Nah, bro. Can't see you." The speaker told her.

Kasey walked back out into the hallway. She then walked into Eleanor and Erin's room. "Now?"

"Yo, where are you? I can't see you at all!" The speaker said before she heard a whisper of,"Mistletoe! Your ass is on my knees!"

Kasey walked back outside to the hallway.

"Mistletoe found you before I did?!" Kasey groaned, "See me now?"

"Yeah, all the cats are with me." The speaker said,"Also, yes. I can see you."

Kasey started looking in the closets in the hallway, "Getting any closer?"

"Nu-uh!" The speaker responded,"You're pretty cold."

Kasey started to walk down the stairs before asking, "Are you in your bloody tunnels?"

"No, I covered those up because they kept getting flooded!" The speaker said,"Go upstairs and look out the big window, the one that's pointing towards the back garden."

Kasey did exactly as Katie told her, she placed the speaker down and looked out the window, "Now what?"

"Look out at the big tree in the middle of the garden." The speaker directed her.

Kasey looked at the tree, finally seeing Katie.

Kasey sighed before saying, "Jokes on you, the doors are locked."

"Jokes on you, I have claws and Eleanor taught me how to pick locks." The speaker said, Katie was lounging around in the tree with the cats.

"Eleanor!" Kasey yelled before saying to the speaker, "Just get inside, it's cold."

"Ok f-" The speaker said before cutting out as Katie fell from the tree.

"That's what you get!" Kasey laughed and turned the speaker off, walking back into their room.

Luckily, Katie landed on her feet, just like a cat before walking to the door and picking the lock. Little did Katie know is that she forgot to lock the door. When a hooded figure walked in behind her silently. Katie casually walked to her room and kicked the door down before shutting it quietly.

"Took you long enough." Kasey said as she looked at her phone.

Yumei had messaged her.

"Gonna tell me who's texting you now?" Katie asked, hopping onto her bed.

"Yumei, one of the wolves." Kasey said, looking out of the window. "Did you lock the door when you came back in?"

"I think I did." Katie stated, trying to remember,"Eh, I'm gonna change."

"I'll leave." Kasey said, walking out of the room and into Erin and Eleanor's, "Dad?"

Erin was the only one in the room.

Erin turned around,"Yes?"

"One of my friends from yesterday is on guard duty again. Katie was outside and came back in. But I got a message from Yumei saying that something followed her in." Kasey showed Erin the message.

"I'll keep an eye out." Erin said,"If Katie's changing just wait outside of your room."

Kasey nodded and walked back to the outside of the room.

Mira, Becca and Serenity showed up. "I told you this might happen.." Mira said.

"Don't 'I told you so' me Mira, Now remember the plan." Erin said as she walked out of the room, downstairs and towards the fireplace.

The sides nodded and vanished.

Downstairs the hooded figure was looking at family pictures on the walls. Erin noticed the figure and from the far away corner of the room, Reina began playing the grand piano. The figure heard the piano and looked at the fire place. Seeing Erin, so they walked over to her and pulled down his hood.

"Still no photos of me, I see." The figure was Oakley.

Erin lifted an intricately designed box. It was white and had a golden fire like trim around the edges. She opened the lid gently, revealing thousands of letters and photos.

"I saved every letter, you wrote me~" Erin sang, not turning around.

Oakley peaked over Erin's shoulder, seeing the box. He then rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

"From the moment I saw you, I knew you were mine~" Erin continued, turning to face Oakley.

This statement caused Oakley to step back.

"You said you were mine... I thought you were~" Erin sang, looking to the side.

Oakley put his hand out infront of him as he walked closer to Erin.

"Do you know what Kasey said, when I told her what you'd done~?" Erin asked, her eyes staring down Oakley as he stepped back.

"She said." Erin sang.

An illusion of Kasey appeared behind Oakley, he banged into her and he fell to the ground.

"You have married an Icarus, he has flown to close to the sun." Kacey and Erin sang together in harmony before Kasey disappeared.

Oakley walked towards Erin but Mira blocked him and pushed him back, causing him to fall down again.

"Don't!" Mira shouted,"Take another step in my direction!"

Mira disappeared as Erin followed on with,"I can't be trusted around you~"

"Don't! Think you can talk your way into my arms." Erin snapped.

Serenity appeared behind Erin singing, "Into my arms~"

Serenity disappeared once again.

Oakley looked away from Erin.

Erin began bending the fire of the fireplace,"I'm burning the letters you wrote me..."

Mira pulled Oakley up and held him in place as Erin sang, she was much stronger than she looked.

"You can stand over there if you want... I don't know who you are... I have so much to learn~"

Oakley was forced to watch as the fire grew bigger.

"I'm re-reading your letters and watching them.." Erin threw some of the letters into the fire. "Burn.."

Rebecca showed up at the other side of the room, rather upset as she looked at the wall. "Burn~"

Rebecca disappeared as Erin sang again.

"I'm watching them burn!"

Rebecca appeared again, still not facing Oakley,"Burn~

The sides disappeared.

"You published the letters she wrote to you!" Erin pointed to the corner of the room where an illusion of one of Oakleys many girlfriends stood.

It was her older sister Rachel...Tears started to fall from Oakleys eyes.

"In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives!" Erin fell to the ground, tears of her own pouring out.

Rebecca appeared from beside the fireplace, creating an illusion of Kasey again who sang,"Heaven forbid someone whisper..."

In the middle of Kasey's line, Rebecca created an illusion of Kellie and Katie.

Together they all sang in unison,"He's part of some scheme~!"

The illusion of Kasey continued to sing, "Your enemy whispers."

"So you have to scream!" They all yelled before the illusions disappeared again.

"Erin I-" Oakley was cut off.

"I know about whispers..." Erin said quietly.

"I see how you look at my sister!" Oakley yelled, a vision of Eleanor appearing behind Oakley.

Erin ears and tail dropped. Oakley quickly covered his mouth, he knew he was going to regret his statement.

All of the sides reappeared and yelled, "Don't!"

Erin raised her hands so they were at her sides, "I'm not naive."

"We have saw woman around you~" The sides and Erin sang.

"Don't!" The sides shouted before disappearing.

"Think I don't see how they fall for your charms!" Erin snapped.

The three sides reappeared and yelled with Erin,"All your charms~!"

"I'm erasing myself from the narrative." The sides all disappeared one by one.

"Let future historians wonder how Erin reacted, when you broke her."

Mira appeared again.

"Heart~" Erin and Mira sang.

"You have thrown it all away stand back watch it..." Erin jumped and as her foot hit the ground, a wall of fire separated her from Oakley as she yelled,"Burn~!

The sides reappeared to sing with her,"Burn!~"

Oakley stepped back as the fire was getting close to him.

"Just watch it all!" Erin collapsed to the ground.

"Burn~!" The sides yelled as the fire grew larger.

"And when the time comes!" Mira shouted, before disappearing.

"Explain to the children!" Serenity yelled, revealing and illusion of an angry Kellie protecting Katie and Kasey standing in fear as she disappeared.

"The pain and embarrassment!" Rebecca cried, holding her heart.

"You put their mother through!" The sides yelled together.

The sides vanished but the girls remained and Erin stood up.

"When will you learn? That they are your legacy?" Erin pointed at her daughters.

"We are your legacy!" All four girls cried out to the man that hurt them so much.

"If you thought you were mine!~" Erin yelled.

The room faded to black. Erin appeared, then Serenity, Becca and finally Mira. "Mine~!"

The sides opened their eyes. "Don't!"

As the room returned to normal, Erin then flung the box into the roaring flames of the fireplace.

Oakley struggled to say his words. So he didn't, he dried his tears and walked out of the house. Closing the door behind him.

Kasey, Kellie and Katie were on the couch hugging one another, their tears had dried but they were still upset over the whole situation.

"Good thing those were just i-" Erin began before noticing that her children were really there,"... You weren't Becca's illusions, were you?"

Kellie looked up at Erin. "At first, yes.. But we all heard the commotion and came down." Kellie explained. She had one around arm around each of her sisters, comforting them.

"I'm sorry you had to see that..." Erin apologized,"At least I ticked one thing off of my to-do list! Burn the memory box!"
