I make my way upstairs to see a freaked Corey with a pinkish tint to him, a pink Raven, a sticky Luke, and a confused Kota.

Kota had gone later, but took they all took so long that they all came out at the same time.

I burst out laughing.

Raven has pink hair and eyebrows and a light pink to his skin.

Luke is trying to act normal, but his skin keeps sticking from the sugar of the candy.

Kota is running a hand through his soapy hair and looks at me, confused.

Corey looks frightened like he took a shower in bloody water or something. Oh, wait. As far as he knows, he did!

I keep laughing and laughing.

"Sang, did you do this?" Kota asks.

"And what exactly is this?" Luke adds.

I wipe away my tears of laughter and explain, "I took apart each of the showerheads and put something inside. Corey got the Kool-Aid, Raven got the hair dye, Luke got the candy, and Kota got the soap."

"That's why I couldn't rinse the soap off!" Kota exclaims.

Corey looks a little annoyed, "So my "bloody" water was really just juice? "

I nod and say, "Yup!"

"You mean you wasted candy and got me all sticky?" Luke accuses.

"Yes," I answer simply.

"****, you take your revenge serious!" Luke announces.

"Revenge?" Kota repeats.

Anger fills me.

I spit, "You all laughed at me and my love and separated us. Of course, revenge was necessary!"

"What about the others?" Corey inquires.

I grin mischievously.

"Let's just say there was a certain fake spider..."

"That wasn't real?!" Kota exclaims as Luke and Corey shout, "Spider?!"

I burst out laughing again.

"I am pretty awesome, aren't I?"

Raven raises an eyebrow and says in Russian, "Awesome or beautiful and evil?"

I turn bright red.

I am not beautiful or evil or even awesome.

I am simply me.

Sang Sorenson.

"What has skunk blushing so hard?" Corey asks amused.

"Nothing! Let's get going!" I shout and dash out of the hall.

Quickly, I fix all the showerheads so they are back to normal.

Turning to Raven I inform him, "I have a dye remover and can help you get it all out, if you want."

Raven beams and replies, "Good idea!"

I get the soap and take Raven to the large sink in the kitchen downstairs.

Quickly, I went his hair and get to work cleaning the dye out of his hair. His eyebrows are a little trickier, but I manage to get it all out.

I am a little disappointed that I am helping to undo my work, but I saw Luke snapping pictures of all of them with his phone.

The perfect blackmail.

I laugh evilly on the inside.

I rinse the suds out of Raven's hit and dry it quickly with a towel.

"There you go, Big Bear," I say in cheerful Russian.

"Thank you, my kitten. You can wash my hair anytime you want," Raven replies with darkened eyes.

"What? Why would I do that? I don't plan on dying your hair again," I say in confusion.

Raven just laughs and walks out of the kitchen.

I dry up the water that got splashed on the counter and toss the towel in the laundry.

I follow the noise of the boys to the living room where they are sitting down in a deep conversation.

"Watcha doing?" I ask.

Their heads snap to me.

Mr.Blackbourne clears his throat, "Ms.Sorenson, we were just planning on how to deal with Mara and Richard Sorenson."

Why did he refer to them by their first and last names?

Weird.

"Well, we are clearly going to kill them. The question is how," I state matter of factly.

They look surprised.

"Why are you surprised, now?" I sigh.

"Ten, most people aren't okay with killing," Kota says slowly.

Aren't they mafia?

Don't they kill people?

Aren't they normal?

Something ain't adding up here...

"Princess, we've killed before and plan on killing your biological family, but it was a bit of a shock to hear you, a sweet and beautiful seventeen year old, talk about killing your family so casually," Victor explains.

I ignore the false flattery and smile at Prince. I go to sit next to him, but he sets me on his lap instead.

"So, what's the plan, fam?" I giggle.

Axel explains, "We are going to get your mother and sister tomorrow. Your father is scheduled to arrive at your house this weekend. We aren't sure what we are going to do about him. He will be incredibly difficult to catch. Richard is known for being able to escape anywhere and anything."

Huh.

Props, Father.

"Victor and I are setting up surveillance on your father. Hopefully, we will be able to get to him and secure him," Corey says.

Oh. My. Monster.

My Peep is growing up and killing people!

I tear up a little with pride, but, thankfully, no one notices.

"They are right, you know. Father will be tricky to catch. And remember how many secret homes he has," Sarah says.

"Makes sense to me!"

"I don't care how we catch him, I just want to kill him," Star informs us.

I smile at the two of them and tune back into the conversation.

"We will keep an eye on Richard until we can find a way to trap him. In the meantime, Mara and Marie shouldn't be too hard," Axel declares.

"The question is, are we going to kill them right away, kidnap them, or simply arrest them?" Brandon says .

Luke shrugs.

"As long as they can't ever get to Cupcake again."

"No ****ing way! They need to pay! With their **** blood!" Meanie shouts.

Shouts break out as each boy declares their opinion.

The noise hurts my sensitive ears.

"Enough!" Mr. Blackbourne shouts, finally.

"We are not going to sit around and decide their fates. Depending on the situation, when the time arises, we make our decision."

Sounds good to me!

I just want to never have to worry about them again.

Today at school, I had to be careful and hide a lot. I couldn't risk Marie spotting me.

I don't understand this.

Why do they hurt me?

What did I do to them?

How could I turn out so wrong, so horribly, that my own family hates me?

I don't know how to think.

Should I feel guilty about wanting them to die?

Should I be trying to get back to them?

Why do I feel so awful at the thought of leaving these boys?

"Stop it, Sang. That is enough. Thinking these thoughts will only leave you confused and sad and hurt. Think about something else or nothing at all," Sarah orders firmly.

I nod.

I enter a daydream.

They are, after all, my only escape from this madness, this insanity.
