Tinashe's POV
"Tina we can't just leave her outside the house like this", my aunt screamed from outside
I'm currently in my room putting on an underwear and bras . I spot my short blue pajamas on my messy bed and put them on
"Why not...I bet she'd love to wake up to nature around her", I scream back while assessing myself in the mirror
"TINASHE ".....
"God should've made me white , look at this messy hair", I whispered to myself
"What's wrong with kinky hair.. it's cute and you can make an afro", Eris chimed in softly....which is unusual for her to talk softly....unless she's planning on making me change my mind about something or gaslighting me...mostly gaslighting
"Are you gonna wait for me to ask you whats up or are you gonna be a doll and get out with it ", I say to her while looking at my hair in the mirror trying to soothe it with my afro comb
"Aunt Janet is right you know....", she begins...still quiete soft
"I know you're angry at her and hate her but you can't just leave her outside", she completes and waits patiently for my reply
silence
"Will you live with yourself if she gets eaten by rogue wolves", she asks
"There are no other werewolves in the area....just me", I say recklessly still struggling to perfect my hair
"Or she freezes in the cold ", she adds
"It's summer", I answer putting the comb on top of the dressing table and patting my hair
"What if she fell of a heart attack and is dead....what if it's too late for her and you're responsible for that....will that sit well with you ", she adds yet again
Dang...she doesn't know when to give up , does she
"Eris do I look like I care in the slightest what happens to her , if she's dead she's dead....I'm not Jesus I can't revive her", I say exiting my room going towards the kitchen
As I walk past the east window I notice aunt Janet trying to pull Jenny into the front stairs
I ignore her and open our mini fridge about my size , 4'9
I take out a water bottle...pop the lid open and gulp the cold water down my esophagus
Following the smell of boiled rice and beef stew , my feet drag me to our tiny creamy microwave
I take out a plate full of food I see in my dreams and jump on a couch....turn on the tv and watch a variety show I never saw before
"How cold can you be", I hear Eris whisper and ignore her....looking out the window again I notice she's given up on trying to get whatever that is , inside the house
After finishing my meal I go campchair hunting in our storeroom behind our cabin and find it sitting among dusty pictures...piles of books...lots of old clothes and shoes
Dragging it along with me I grab the cold water from the fridge and find my way to them . My aunt has her shawl on the unconscious....thing on the ground and she herself on the stairs with her palms on her brown cheeks....a cute position for a 54 year old lady
She turns her head to me as I came from the house and positioned my chair at Jenny's head .
"What are you up to now" , Eris asked with her voice a little louder for my taste
My aunt's eyes look from me to Jenny in anticipation .
"What did she want" , I asked my aunt as I sat back on my chair , cross my legs and take a sip from my bottle
silence
Aunt Janet's eyes insead lowers and her lips form a thin straight line . She fidgets her fingers and doesn't say a word
My eyes suddenly went down to Jenny and notice her eyeballs move rapidly while still closed .
She's awake
"Aunt Janet....can you please....please tell me what she said to you before I arrived",
"Relax Tina...she's trying to find the right words", Eris chimes in quietly
"I know....it's just that I hate it when she hides stuff from me", I say to Eris inside my head
"Kind of ironic coming from you when you're hiding the fact that you're a werewolf , don't you think ", she shoots back....she always chose aunt Janet over me....sly bitch
"That's different....and you know it's complicated ", I say still looking at my aunt
Jenny's breathing intensifies as the tension rises
"Okay....aunt Janet , if you can't tell me I'll ask her . What do you want ",
silence
I can't take this no more...with my legs still crossed and back well rested , I pour the rest of the cold water on Jenny's face and wait for her to jump in disbelief
"Ahhhhh...."
There it is
"Tinashe.....how could you do that to your own mother....Janet what did you teach her....this is not the right way to behave with your mother ", she begins as she rudely grabs away aunt's shawl from her shoulders and begins wiping her face and hair
Aunt is just in shock with both her hands covering her mouth
"Cut the crap and tell me what you want Jenny", I say after a long sigh
She just snaps her head at me and begins yelling and cussing
"You ungrateful little bitch , I came her for you and you have the nerve to act like a spoiled brat ??? I was right....I should've flushed your black ass into the toilet look what you did to my hair and this was expensive than all your assets combined", she screams at me while wiping her hair dry
"You go around pouring icy water on people's faces like you're king of the world , what metal balls you got Tinashe Roberts but I promise you I will whoop your ass the next time you attempt this....I knew pretending to knock out was a bad idea I just had to listen to that dick ", she complained
Throwing the shawl on aunt's face she steps up to me and bends down to my seated level .
"Look Tinashe , I.....",
"Do you need a kidney or you're fighting some inheritance shit", I asked after a long yawn cutting her
She stands up amused but shields it completely
She raises her head and looks at the forest...probably debating what to say next in her head
" You know you are more stupid than you look or you just underestimated me if you thought I'd go with you like nothing happened 10 years ago", I say standing up ignoring Eris' attempts at cooling me down
Jenny just ignores looking at my face and turns it away from me as I step closer to her at each passing moment
"I suggest you leave before I cut open your stomach , pull out the contents and shove them in your mouth like I always envisioned I would on our first meeting",
I whisper taking out my poctet knife
She snaps her head at me and our eyes meet for a long uncomfortable minute
She lost to my unwavering glare and walked away to her GTI bumping my shoulder in the process
Well praise Jesus she didn't raise me
"Are you okay", Eris asks and I ignore her
I look my aunt in the eye and notice they're full of tears...I pass her standing on the stairs and got inside the house
