“So you both are the voices I’ve been hearing?” She asks and I nod.
“Recently, yes, but your whole life it’s just been me trying to break through your barrier,” I say, and her eyes widen.
“Okay, and the dreams?”
“Us showing you the past. Did Sherry give you the letter?” I ask, already knowing the answer, but she nods.
“Good. Now you know you’re Savannah and Tripp’s daughter.” I say, and she nods again. “The scene we kept showing you in your dreams is of Savannah when she was your age. She was dating Jeremy and secretly with Tripp, who was her stepbrother.” I say and she gasps.
“My biological mom dated Jeremy?” She asks and I snarl.
“That’s correct. Savannah was captain of the cheerleading squad and Jeremy was the star quarterback. They went to the homecoming dance and after he took her to the tracks which you saw in your dream. Him and Tatum allowed the team to rape her. The squad stabbed her quite a few times and beat her unconscious while Tripp tried to save her but he was beaten too…” I trail off, wiping a tear from my cheek.
“Quinn’s parents orchestrated Savannah’s rape and beating? Is that what you are telling me?” She asks, stunned by this revelation, and I nod.
“There’s so much more to the story, Charlee. Just listen,” Sadie adds.
“Wait– Did Quinn know you were…a-alive?” she asks, and we both laugh.
“She did, we also had help from Kai,” Sadie says, rolling her eyes, which makes her look weird as shit.
“Who the fuck is Kai?” Charlee questions, and we laugh again.
“Quinn’s demon spider,” Sadie answers and Charlee’s eyes widen.
“Oh, okay. Weird but okay. Continue.” She tells us.
“After that night, Savannah and Tripp were ostracized. When they returned to school, Tripp was kicked off the team and Savannah was taunted. She actually fought Tatum in the lunch room, but it doesn’t end there. Years later once the ones that hurt them got pregnant—I showed you in your dream. Savannah went to Tatums with the invitation. Well…close your eyes, I’ll show you what Jeremy did with his friends…” I trail off, and she closes her eyes as I climb the rest of the way up the bed and blow into her ear, showing her the night Tripp was murdered. Tears pour from her eyes as she sobs while watching the scene unfold.
Looking over to Sadie, she frowns, knowing how hurt we all were when seeing that through Savannah’s eyes. I suck in a breath, taking the scene away, and Charlee opens her eyes. Hate and malice shine brightly, and I do an internal dance knowing we are finally reaching her.
“I want to kill them for what they did,” she spits, and I smile.
“Good, because that’s exactly what we are going to do,” I say with promise laced in my words. “Close your eyes again. I still have more to show you,” I tell her, and once again blow in her ear and show her Savannah making all the dolls. She giggles, and a sinister smile spreads across her face as she reaches for my little hand, taking it into hers. After a few moments, I suck in a breath, taking the scene away.
“Clearly, it’s already begun. Is Jeremy the last one?” She asks, and I nod with a smile.
“Yep, but first, we need to get rid of the three little pigs along with no dick Harry.” I say and Sadie giggles.
“No dick Harry? You mean Vaughn?” Charlee asks, with a laugh, and I nod.
“Yep! They all deserve to burn.” I say.
“They do, will you both help me?” She asks, and I smile sinisterly.
“Duh, what do you think we are here for? Sheesh. Get it together, Charlee. Who do you think fucked with Clara’s hair and Donna’s face? June was up next, but we ran out of time.” I tell her, and her eyes widen,
“That was you two?” She asks, and we both giggle. “Holy shit. That was savage.” She adds and we smirk.
“That’s not all, Charlee, there’s still one more thing you need to know, and this one is going to hurt,” I tell her, then look at Sadie.
“What? What is it?” Charlee asks, and Sadie takes a deep breath.
“Quinn didn’t kill herself. Jeremy did it!” She says, and Charlee gasps, shaking her head.
“No, no way. They found drugs laced in her system.” Charlee says, but we shake our heads.
“She saw you and Jeremy and when she confronted her dad he drugged her and gave her a little too much,” Sadie hiccups. I wrap my arm around her because I’d be just as devastated if something like that happened to Charlee.
