Chapter 10: Betrayal (Grant Junior)
I was just coming into the lounge when I heard my sister on her phone. She was talking to someone called Anne, which was odd, as none of her friends were called Anne. Plus, she seemed unusually pleased to get this call. She had been moping since she'd helped the freak demon that had possessed Mort escape. If it hadn't been for her, Dad would have blown that monster's head clean off. I decided to follow her, to see what the silly cow was up to.
She headed outside through the front door, so I circled round out the back, and edged up the side toward the front of the house. I managed to hide in earshot, so I could make out at least Gwen's side of the conversation.
What I heard made me incredibly angry. She was obviously talking to that monster. It took all my self restraint to not go over there and grab the phone.
'What the hell is she playing at? Everyone knows those things are evil, pretending to be the people they had hatched out of, so they can infect and damn more innocents.'
I waited till she had gone and made my way back into the house. I headed straight to Dad's study, he would want to know about this straight away. I smirked, as I wondered how much of a beating the silly girl would get this time.
Dad was at his desk going over some letters. Looking up as I came in he said, "What is it son? I'm quite busy at the moment."
