And Then There Were Four (Lilith Carrie)

But no, of course, that wouldn't be the fucking case.

"Okay then," I said in a very dramatic tone as I waited patiently for her to explain. "What else it is that I needed to know?"

Hesitating for a moment as if she didn't like my response, she seemed to ponder over what I said. "You're irritated by me." I groaned. "Now I am."

You would think she would listen to her mother. Maybe I can make her.

"You can't," she replied, crossing her arms over her chest with a smug smile. "I'm far older than you, regardless if you are the mother to the person who I belong inside." Holy shit, had she just read my mind?

Like... she can actually read my mind! What the fuck is going on?

"Yes, I can read your mind now. Will you please stop swearing so much? It's not ladylike." Anna complained as she rolled her eyes, walking another twenty feet before stopping again.

"I'm sorry. I just wasn't expecting all of this, ya know? God, this is so aggravating that I honestly can't remember anything."

"Honestly, it's probably better that you don't." She gave me a pointed look as she glanced over her shoulder at me.

"No one died, right? Like no one that I care about, anyway."

Groaning in protest, she let out a heavy breath and pinched the bridge of her nose. "No, they didn't."

"Well, that's good then," I said with a sigh of relief. "So what exactly is it you wanna tell me before you shimmer me back to wherever I came from?"
