‘ i would love to stay & chat but i really have someplace else to be ––––– maybe ANOTHER time. ’
‘ --- --- no, we’re chatting. where to? ’
once again, kevin found herself considering the option to run; return to who she felt safe with–– someone who was not ryan, or approved by her. ‘ – – – – i know. ’ the brunette spoke, attempting to keep her place on the elder’s good side. slender digits rubbed against the aching flesh of her wrist, and dark hues shifted between the door & the female before her. ‘ and i’m sorry. –––– but maybe… maybe i should just live with cosette for a little while ? ’
‘ --- --- i’ll talk to cosette, then. see how long you’re welcome --- or how long i let you be there. ’ said ryan, tentatively, waiting for some kind of sign of her sister’s assumed dishonesty to show in her face. truth be told, ryan didn’t really have a perspective on whether or not the younger was honest or not --- --- but she wanted to exercise control.
she had to lie, she did. even if there was a part of her that wasn’t capable–– telling the STRANGER about her current residence wouldn’t just harm kevin herself. ‘ ryan, i told you ! i told you–– i swear. i’m not lying… i don’t know how to ! you know i don’t. please let me go. ’ the younger continued, her voice nothing but frantic and shaken up as she attempted to retrieve her arm once more.
p a r a n o i a had always been a trait ryan had trouble concealing. perhaps a byproduct of her tumultuous childhood, or something further ingrained in her dna --- but either way, it always seemed to come out, triggering anger and aggression. the elder dropped kevin’s arm, shoving her former family away from her hard as frail arms could. ‘ i gave you all i could, helped you, saved you, raised you --- and you turn back on me like this, lie to me just because things were different than you thought? ’
with, forearms still aching from before; old wounds only now having begun to heal after being ripped open once more, the older’s touch caused previously numbing pain to return. ‘ – – – – – ryan, you’re hurting me ! ’ kevin wished her voice was louder, stronger–– but instead it came out as a pathetic whimper, as she attempted to yank her arm out of ryan’s grip. ‘ please just–– let go. ’
‘ --- --- NO! ’ ryan’s voice was loud, piercing, and full of shrill anger. she knew the other was spinning fabrications, and ryan’s heart ( though it’s function was up for debate ) was a hypocritical one --- --- she hated being lied to. ‘ tell me the truth, where were you? ’ the brunette needed control over something, anything --- and if she didn’t have it over the younger shaking in her grip, who would she be able to have it for?
‘ i didn’t run away, i’m still in valdez –– aren’t i ? ’ the younger argued, keeping ryan in the dark; leaving out her attempted escape. ‘ – – – i told you… cosette ! who else ? you know i don’t have any friends. ’
‘ --- --- don’t LIE to me! ’ tears of pure fury burned in dark eyes, reaching out delicate fingers to roughly grasp the pale flesh of the other’s wrist, holding her so tightly it left red half crescents lining her skin as her nails dug into the back side of her wrist. ‘ you’re lying! ’
‘ – – – i never lied ! ’ kevin responded, taking a defensive step back. “ you lie, just say you’re staying with a friend. ” the words echoed within the younger’s skull, and she began to speak again. ‘ i was just–– staying with… cosette ! i didn’t think you wanted to, uh–– we were fighting, right ? so i thought that – – maybe you needed your s p a c e ? tha–that’s all. ’
‘ --- --- that is BULLSHIT. you are my sister, not hers. we’ve fought before, and i didn’t expect you to RUN AWAY --- and you have always been a terrible liar, kevin --- --- who were you with? ’
‘ – – – i, uh––– i wasn’t aware i had a curfew. ’
‘ --- --- you didn’t come home at all. that isn’t curfew. that’s abandonment & lying. ’
@mcdax !
‘ –––––––– you’re not supposed to be here. ’
‘ --- --- why haven’t you been at home? ’
‘ are you 100% sure of that, your highness, because if so, i’d love to prove you wrong. ’
‘ --- GO AHEAD, goldilocks. ’
it hurt the younger; distancing herself from the one who’d been by her side the majority of her life. she didn’t know anyone else, nor did she trust them. but with the threats that had escaped ryan, the teen knew she’d be SAFER in the hands of a stranger. though wasn’t that what her sister had turned out to be ? a complete and utter stranger. ‘ i might not have known who you really were, ryan. ’ she began, backing away as her previous guardian approached her. ‘ but we’re not sisters. ’ she continued, hoping that if she put enough space between the two; she’d be able to make a quick escape. ‘ –– –– and you’re not my family. ’
‘ --- yes, you are. ’ with another few DAUNTING steps to her former friend --- her former family! --- ryan grabbed the other’s wrist with a vigorous and vice like grip, nails digging into flesh. ‘ and rest assured, rosalie --- because if you aren’t my sister, you aren’t kevin --- you will really, really regret this. ’

I’m curious, Mitzi. What do you get out of this?
“ i literally got no sleep last night, so if you speak to me again and it is not of dire importance i will cut open your throat and feed you to the nearest zombie…”
‘ yeah, and i’m the fucking queen of england. you’d be dead before you took a step towards me, princess. good luck. ’
kevin remained frozen at first, the older’s digits rough against pale skin. but after a moment, once she’d gathered enough courage ( how little it may be ) –– the teen tore herself out of ryan’s grasp. ‘ –– –– no one’s going to know because i won’t be here to tell them. you can do whatever fuck you want, ryan. but i’m leaving; you & this place ! ’ the younger finished, putting as much distance as she could between them in the process.
‘ no, you aren’t. ‘ her voice came out slowly, coldly, taking several daunting steps towards the younger. ‘ --- no one is going to believe you. no one is going to let you go. none of them trust you !! all of them are going to drag you back to me. we’re family, kevin !! even if you know now that we aren’t blood, i raised you. mama didn’t do shit. i was the smart one, i took you in, i SAVED you !! ’ her voice had risen in anger & volume, and for once, a look of genuineness showed on ryan’s pale features as it lowered again. ‘ i saved you, when i took you. i thought it was just gonna be fun like every other time. get rid of them when you’re DONE !! but then i realised, kevin, that you were different. you were pliant, and cooperative. you did what we said. i could make you like me. ‘ the same sadistic smile played across her features again. though there was nothing inherently wrong with her next words, the way she said them was off,as if each syllable marked a threat instead of a fact. ‘ we’re the oswalts, we’re sisters. ’
kevin was rarely frightened, she never had a reason to be. things that children had been taught to avoid, the teen had been taught to embrace. though the older now seemed to be nothing but a terrifying individual, the sadistic smile twisted upon full lips causing an erratic heartbeat. and it all seemed to fall into place; her sister ? the only person who had shared her beliefs, had abandoned them mere seconds after entering the gates of valdez. kevin had always been alone, though it’d merely taken a sinister confession from ryan to for her to realise it herself. moving away from the older’s touch, kevin backed away from the person she’d trusted only moments ago. ‘ –– –– you’re psychotic. ’
‘ --- that’s gonna be our SECRET, kevin. as far as anyone else knows, we still have the same blood coursing through us, the same lineage dating back –– –– and if you do anything to dispel that, i promise you. that blood we don’t share will be spilled, and i won’t have a SCRATCH on me. no one would suspect a thing if little kevin oswalt threw herself to the walkers. they’re her only friends, after all, since she’s a fucking crazy bitch. ’ smirk still present on ryan’s face, slender fingers reached out to grapple with kevin’s wrist, forcing the younger to pay attention to every word she said. ‘ you won’t tell anyone what you know. no one will believe you, i’m sure, but just in case –– –– anything i’ve done to protect you will be considered going easy. ‘
‘ stop; you’re LYING. you always do this–– you lie ! i’m not… i’m kevin, and i’m–– ’ the teen sobbed, olive hues clouded by burning liquid. she wanted nothing more than to disprove the older’s claims, nothing more than to be certain in her own family. but; kevin remembered next to nothing of her own childhood. hardly enough to be considered memories to begin with. there had to be something, right ? something to call ryan’s entire bluff. ‘ –– –– i don’t believe you. ’ though the pained expression on pale features & the desperation in her voice was enough to give her away. she’d never been much of a liar, not like ryan.
‘ kevin, we might not share blood --- but i know you like a sister, a mother, and a friend. and you’re a TERRIBLE liar. i don’t know why you’re so angry with me --- i was good to you, kevin !! mama used to sit me in front of the television and make me watch my parents cry until i hated them for missing me. every time i asked if i was going home, it’d be another night without dinner. i never tried to make you cruel, kevin. you were my project !! my favorite girl we took. you’re the only person on this entire planet i give a damn about --- but not enough to keep this a secret. ’ another sick smile folded across pale features, an her arms matched suit across her chest, peering down at her sobbing sister. ‘ the zombies ? a lie. me ? a lie. mama ? a lie. ’ she reached out a slender hand to wipe away a tear on the other girl’s cheek. ‘ you? you’re not a lie. you’re the pathetic, rotting, empty shell of rosalie guzman. ’
