Excerpt:
Chapter
Four
Venice
Revealed
Avery
closed her laptop. It was getting hot from being overworked. She laid back and
immersed herself in the soft covers. She dreamed again that night.
She was six years old. Her
father had left fresh bruises all over her body. Avery was in her room crying.
Her siblings had been lucky not to be sick that day. Avery wiped the tears off
her face with her blanket. She knew better. She knew she should have kept out
of his way. Avery was hungry and wanted something to eat. This was why she woke
him up. Her dad was upset and still drunk from the whiskey.
“Are
you okay?” she heard a voice say behind her. Avery looked over to see Venice.
The Asian girl walked over to Avery and started to stroke her back. Her touch
was cold as usual. This girl wouldn’t leave Avery alone.
“No…”
Avery said, suppressing tears.
“It’s
okay. Everything is going to be okay,” Venice whis- pered.
“How
do you know? You aren’t even real.” Avery could feel the excruciating pain in
her back. The fever came back. She had managed to make this girl angry once
again.
“I
am real!” Venice screamed at the top of her lungs. Avery could feel Venice’s
cold hands grasp her around the throat.
“Please…
Let go…” Avery managed to say. Venice con- tinued to stifle her windpipe.
“Say
I am real! Say you will be my friend.”
“Alright…
I will be your friend.” Avery felt Venice’s grasp weaken.
Avery looked up to see Venice
staring at her. She looked malevolent. She flashed Avery an evil smile.
“Why
do you want me to be your friend so bad Venice?
“Why?”
Avery asked.
“You
are all I have. I don’t have anyone else to talk to,” Venice replied. She
didn’t seem as malevolent now.
“I
am really all you have?” Avery asked.
“Yes,
I have no one else to talk to…” For the first time Venice looked vulnerable and
harmless.
“So,
friends?” Venice asked extending her hand to Avery. She shook Venice’s cold
hand and made her a promise to be friends forever.
Avery
woke up from the dream. It was a memory she had suppressed some time ago. She
had forgotten all about their deal. Avery was beginning to wonder why Venice
had stuck around all these years. If she was truly an imaginary friend,
wouldn’t she have left years ago? Avery was beginning to think Venice was
something else. Something more than just a fig- ment of her imagination.
“Hey
there!” a voice interrupted her thoughts. Avery glanced up to see Venice. She
was dressed in a provocative tight dark blue dress. It had lacy sleeves. The
dress made every angle on her body pop. This time she materialized with heavy
blue eye shadow. On her feet were suede blue booties.
“Wow…”
Venice smiled.
“I
know, don’t you love this dress and my hair.” Venice’ hair was curly and tied
up in loose ponytail which she pulled forward.
“You
look great!” “Yes, I know.”
“I
have a question Venice.” Avery pushed her covers off and turned on the fan.
“Go
ahead and ask me.” Venice replied. She snapped her fingers and a long white
cigarette appeared. She took a deep breath and inhaled the cigarette.
“Why
are you still here?” Venice did her best not to look startled.
“I
am here because I am part of you.”
“What
do you mean?” Avery asked. The room was starting to feel chilly. Avery started
to feel the old Venice emerging again.
“I
am your sister.” Avery coughed.
“What
do you mean my sister?” Venice’s face began to dis- tort.
“I
mean your sister. We are twins.” Avery began getting a splitting headache.
“Twins?
Twins? What do you mean twins?” Her headache did not subside. In fact it grew
worse. The room was a blur.. “Tell me Venice, tell me what you really are?”
“I
just told you. Accept it. You are part of me and I am part of you.” Avery
started to feel dizzy.
