Cookie's standpoint
Ursula laughed as she looked at my outfit, I was in a happy jam this morning because I successfully returned Yolanda a day ago. I decided to go out flashy but Ursula thought it was hilarious. I wore a crazy ripped rainbow jeans, white high-low keyhole top and yellow faux boots; I looked really nice. 'Shit, man!' Ursula exclaimed, again.
'Are you sure you are okay?' I asked poutingly.
'I don't know,'
'Is there anything wrong with what I'm wearing?' I asked with a friend.
'One, why not just wear a white top, white boots and carry a white bag instead of mixing the colors?'
'Its rainbow jeans, how is it bad?'
'That is the least of your problem,' she pointed out. She paused before breaking into a laugh. 'What the hell are you wearing for makeup? What kind of hairstyle is… oh my God… ha ha ha… how did you even get your hair to stand like…ha ha ha… Vee, you look like a clown faced rainbow Maleficent with extra and makeup.'
I smiled proudly and smoothen my cool hairstyle. I was messing around with my hair and boom! My hair stood up like Maleficent's; I look spectacular! 'Isn't it beautiful? I did it myself,' I said proudly.
'Obvi, you are in crazy mode, aren't you?'
'Crazy mode? I don't have any mode,' I argued. She and many kept saying I have modes.
'You have baby mode, cute mode, sexy, stern, just humorous, smart, deadly, angry psycho punchie punchie, elegant princessa, voracious snapper, cook freak mode—.'
'Cook freak?'
'When you are in cooking mode, you also have mommy mode, big sister mode, tomboy mode, grandpa mode—' she was ridiculous, everyone has a mode.
'You are ridiculously amusing,' I scoffed.
'Switching to saucy mode,' she smirked. I rolled my eyes and started laughing, why am I laughing again? 'Laugh laugh Viona raucous.' She laughed, I rolled my eyes, again. Oh, she was so trying to annoy me into changing my glorious attire. I would never fall for that.
'Let's just go to school,' I said with nose up high.
'Snooty mode,'
'Stop calling everything I do modes!'
'I've lived with you for two years, yet you never cease to fascinate me with your character!' She shrieked laughingly, implying another mode. I charged at her, she screamed and ran out of the room. I chased her outside to the lawn, then stopped to lock the door. 'Are we trekking together? Yesterday you were in cheetah mode and I suffered for it… aaah!' She screamed and laughed as I threw a pebble at her. She ducked and wiggled her butt mockingly.
'Bitch mode,' I smirked. She returned my smirk. 'Not falling for it?'
'Sorry, you're the only one that can score crazy.'
'Well, Ursula,' I said with a sway of my hips. 'If we don't get to school on time, we will miss an essential test, and we wouldn't want that, would we?'
'Since when did you care about books?'
'Are you shitty me!' I exclaimed. 'I still don't care,'
'The only mode you don't have is intelligence, you hate books and education either way and yet, you never fail. You are just too—'
'Amazing? Extravagantly glorious, I know,' I said smugly. 'Tell me something I don't already know.'
'You have a big head, an enormous one, and I think someone slept on your chest while growing up.' She tittered, the one insult that set me into my default setting but she's Ursula, don't care much.
'You gotta be proud of your booby, isn't it, hon?' I asked smirkingly. 'Check this goody out,' I shook my main attraction, ass, baby! 'Do you have this motherfucker? Nada—'
'In bed, my boyfriend will enjoy squeezing these tits. What do I need booty for? That's all poop, babe.'
'Mm hm,' I said smirkingly. 'Cause my momma she told me don't worry about the size,' I sang loudly. 'Cause them boys like a little more booty to hold at night—'
'Booty booty,' she sang our favorite part. We burst into laughter and walked like drunken girls. If we were in another street, people would consider questioning our sanity, but everyone already knew the two wacky sisters. Two years with me gave Ursula the happiness she needed. I could still vividly remember the time I arrived in Italy, homeless but with a secret account loaded. I set out to find a new apartment I could share to level the cost of expenses, and found her.
When we first met, Ursula was shy, tattered, depressed. She never told me why, just a lie about her parents' death, I didn't bother to investigate. I liked her from the moment we met, and now two years later, we were both a better version of ourselves. 'From the top, sister!'
'Yeah it's pretty clear I ain't no size two
But I can shake it, shake it like I'm supposed to do
'Cause I've got that bum bum that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places…' I sang as we staggered along the street.
'Booty booty,' she sang, hitting my butt.
'I see the magazine working that Photoshop
We know that shit ain't real
Someone now make it stop
If you got booby and booty just raise 'em up
'Cause every inch of you is perfect
From the bottom to the top…'
'Cause my momma she told me don't worry about the size
Not all boys like a little more booty to hold at night…' She sang while I backed her up by singing ‘booty booby’. It wasn't the original song, but it was fun. We sang different songs to ease our short trek to school, it was nice. We sang all the way to school, waving at those who cared to wave first.
Our lockers were close to each other, so we stopped by to drop and retrieve some books. By we, I mean her. Books and I agreed never to cross paths. I give to them what belongs to them, and they give to me what is mine. In conclusion, Ursula was fetching her book from her locker and preaching about why I should always carry my books and stuffs I didn't listen to. I'd learned to tune her out a long time ago. I looked at the hallway, a big smile spreading across my face when I saw who was coming.
Finally, some entertainment!
'Future husband, three o'clock,' I whispered. Her hand holding the locker stiffened for three seconds before a scowl blessed her face. He walked to us with a big, bright smile and one legged strides. 'Look at him go,' I purred in a singsong. She took her books and slammed her locker shut, aggressively.
'Wow, what have you done to your hair and face again? Last week, you looked like a unicorn with vampire teeth,' he said with amazement as he stared at my wonderful hairdo. I giggled and petted my beautiful hair. He clearly thought I was the entertainment when he was.
'Hi Len,' I giggled, why? I don't know.
'Hey, Maleficent,' he smiled, adding a odd wink to it. Ursula visibly cringed and muttered something under her breath. I laughed at her antic. This was a regular for them. He comes, she gets annoyed and tells him to get lost, I taunt him and she joins me. The next day, the ritual starts allover again. 'Ursula.' He greeted curtly.
'Len,' she grunted. 'I thought you had an accident last week, why didn't you die?' She asked with so much hatred. Yeah, you'd notice by now that Ursula is belligerent. She hates meeting new people, hate talking to boys, and is irritated by children. Everything about her is quiet and if it wasn't for me, she'd be what you call a lone wolf. Well, being a lone wolf isn't possible because Ursula was outstandingly beautiful and her curly blonde and jade dye hair pulled attention. Let me not forget the large boobs and the way she carries herself.
'Ouch,' he smiled, 'you're still angry about the kiss, I see.' Ursula rolled her dark green eyes, irritation consuming the amusement that was there a minute ago. Len is one of the people she hates more than she hates me, not reading my books.
'You don't just kiss someone like that. Are you sick.' so not a question.
'I love you, I couldn't control myself…' I stood behind him and imitated his action and mimicked him silently. These were his everyday preaching, was used to it. He makes her angry, I entertain myself by trying to amuse her and brighten her mode. Ursula was trying not to laugh out. 'Why can't you give me a chance, babe? I can love you like no one on earth can ever love—'
'Point of correction, Mr. Lover,' I said along with her, out loud. 'No one on this earth can love me more than me, so I have me to love me. Now, stop loving me and leave me alone, me love me enough.' We chorused. He eyed me from over his shoulder. Yes, he doesn't like me.
'You are not my type,' I said, waving my hand like she likes doing. 'Go find yourself the bitch that will adore you because this hot ship isn't ready to stop sailing—'
'Mm hm, tell him, sister.' She said with a black American accent. You see that right there? Her mode is officially lifted.
'Sister, let's preach to him that dating is a sin, praise thy Lord!'
'Hallelujah,' she said and nodded with eyes closed.
'Why defile your body with the sins of the flesh? Why seek human desire when you can have it all in the Lord? It is written that our body is the temple of the Lord God Almighty… are you leaving during a service?' I asked as he walked away. Ursula twisted her lips before we burst into laughter again.
'Shit! I love me,' she exclaimed in a singsong.
'Me love me too,' I sang back. She shook her head and started walking off, I followed her. Len was ahead of us but I just couldn't help but admire his ass. 'Look at those cheeks!' I exclaimed, we burst into laughter. He knew he was the one we were laughing at, he quickly covered his ironing board buttocks and scurry away. Ah, good times.
'Damn! That kid got the flattest ass a dude could ever get,' Ursula laughed out.
'What are the odds of you marrying that man and seeing your kids with booty?'
'With my wall of Jericho and that chalkboard, we'll be getting paper ass as reward.' We laughed again and turned into separate halls to get our classes done for the day.
Ted's standpoint
I drummed my finger as I watched Carlos admiring the target, she was his type but he dare not speak. There were two ladies living in the house. Earlier, when watching them, the one with a weird hairdo and Joker's makeup really amused me; in fact, both girls are complete nut case. I was doubting the black one's connection to Lucius. They looked nothing alike. River's tracking has never been wrong, he was a hundred percent sure. I wasn't, but we waited.
It wasn't very hard to know when they returned, if their raucous laughter wasn't enough clue. I wanted to get this over with. On our way to Verona, Carlos informed me about how a lady helped Yolanda and how he sent Lance and Barrow to retrieve her at her request. I hated the idea of them going, but my phone call with her convinced me enough. She was safe, and I needed to return to her as soon as possible to treat her myself.
'That was hilarious,' a soft voice laughed.
'He was busy flaunting his expensive-ass car when his pants were down,' wow, is that a human being's voice?
'That voice…' Carlos said with a look of familiarity.
'I hate arrogant men,' the first one huffed. 'That man is the kind of man that will forcefully control you in bed.'
'Oh bebè, play with my jingo.' The lighter voice said with a weird accent that got them laughing. Wait, that voice…
'I know that voice,' Carlos whispered with a snap of his fingers. 'That's the voice of the girl who saved Yolanda—'
'The what?'
'Vee, did you lock us out again?' Vee, the same name. It's definitely the same person.
'No,' she chuckled. 'Just reluctant to open it because we have guests waiting for us inside.' How did she… I looked at River. He walked to the door and opened it, the rainbow haired was holding the black girl.
'If you love yourself, walk in quietly.'
'No,' the black one whimpered. The rainbow girl pushed her in and followed, River shut the door. Rainbow's eyes scanned over the room, pausing at Carlos.
'Carlos?' She asked, peering at his face, she averted her eyes to me. Her eyes ran over my body, before she scoffed. 'You don't just come into someone's house and sit there so comfortably like you own the property.' I looked at Carlos, just to be sure, she was talking to me. He shook his head, silently begging me to ignore her. 'What have you come here for?' I tilted my head and watched her. She wasn't a bit scared by my presence, unlike the other one; the actual target.
I jerked my head, instructing Sylvester to push her down to her knees. She still stood, with hands on hips, in fact. Before Sylvester touched her, she fell on her own with a gigglish laugh. 'You guys are cute.' Cute? I rolled my eyes to Marilyn, smirking at her and ignoring the other brat.
'Marilyn Barley, am I correct?'
'Y…y…y…ye—'
'Lucius did a good job hiding you from me, applaud on his behalf.'
'Please, don't kill me,' she cried. 'I didn't do anything, I don't have anything to do with—' River silenced her with a smack to her head. The rainbow immediately grabbed his hand and flipped him over her body. She grabbed a fistful of his hair and slammed his face to the floor. A girl is beating up my man, interesting.
'Carlos,' he brought out his gun and pointed it at the girl. She released his head with a laugh. What is wrong with this one?
'Sorry, I don't know why you think a gun scares me. I've seen missiles before, prick. Now, who's Lucius, Ursula?' I can see how she was able to save Yolanda. She had no single sign of fear, not a shiver, not an expression, not even tears. If anything, she looked really amused.
'Her real name is Marilyn Barley, sister to Lucius Adam Barley, you must know him.' Carlos corrected. The look on her face said otherwise, she didn't know.
'You are both coming with me.' I stated simply. Rainbow snorted. 'Excuse me, do you have something to say?'
'Yes, what makes you think I'll go with you?' I snapped my neck to Carlos with a growl.
'You are still alive now because you saved Yolanda. Vee, one more word from you and he'll kill you,' he warned. She rolled her eyes. I removed my silencer from my boot but before I could shoot her stupid brain, Carlos hit the gun and the bullet hit River's arm. Carlos quickly grabbed the gun from my hand. 'You can't, Ame, you owe her Yolanda's life. Please, for her sake, let her live, for now.' I inhaled, resigning the gun to him. 'Inject and tie them up, we are leaving.' And I'm going to regret this.
Cookie's standpoint Who in the world kidnaps someone and not give them food! I am hungry! After getting injected, I woke up in a dark room with Ursula, hungry and annoyed. A starved Cookie is a grumpy Cookie, but try telling idiots that. Ursula's persistent crying was getting on my nerves, really. She got us into this mess by being someone she is not. Hypocrite. 'Will you stop crying,' I snapped at her. 'I'm starving!' 'I'm sorry,' she sobbed and swallowed her tears. 'What's with you anyway? Your real name is Marilyn?' 'Yes, Marilyn Barley.' a
Ted's standpoint I stabbed the stupid chicken in anger, careful not to let Yolanda see me ruin the poor fried chicken. My subject of anger was somewhere in my house, in one of my guest bedrooms, enjoying her miserable self while I think of ten possible ways to kill her without upsetting Yolanda. I can start by poisoning… No, that's too obvious… I know! Let her work for two weeks, pretend like she doesn't exist, then send her out with a maid to buy groceries. Before that, I will hire local criminals or just command them to waste her for me, that's easy. Yolanda would never suspect me at all, no one will. Yes…no one… 'Dad,' Yolanda called as she stared at me weirdly
I sighed as I walked into the kitchen. So, she was out of the floor now, but her head buried into the refrigerator as she slept. Is she such a deep sleeper? I walked to her and pulled her back roughly, she fell back on my body, her stupid colored hair bouncing around messily. I cursed under my breath and scooped her into my arms, she smelt nice, though. 'Put me down, I haven't gotten a drink of water yet.' She murmured. 'Hold on,' I dropped her on the kitchen island and walked to the refrigerator again, took out a bottle of water and went back to her. 'Here, drink,' I slapped the bottle in her hand. She put it to her lips, drank half, and poured the rest on her head. 'What are you doing?' 'What am I…' She opened her eyes and sighed. 'How did I get here?'
Cookie's standpoint I stretched on my limbs as I stood on my toes, I was in my room doing my morning exercise, very, very essential. I bent backward, bending my body until my head touched my ankle. Someone knocked on my door that moment, I twisted my body and stood on my hands, my legs far apart. 'Come in,' the door opened slightly, Yolanda stuck her head inside. 'Hi Lan, what's up?' 'Good morning,' she greeted. 'Morning, butter berry, did you sleep well?' 'Yes…? What are you doing?' 'Stretching,' 'Why?' She asked, sitting on my bed. 'I'm a gymnast
'Rainbow! Rainbow, open this door!!!' I shouted, hammering on the door, it was a soundproof heavy metal door; I was screwed. 'Daddy, be quiet,' Yolanda snapped. 'You are ruining my vibe. Now sit down, I have three more songs to sing.' I hammered on the door louder. 'Somebody, get me out of here!!!' 'Teddy Berry!' She shouted harshly, 'sit down!' I slid down the door, almost whimpering. 'No, don't leave me here.' I cried. 'Can you see the…' Fuck my life. I'll kill you, Rainbow bitch! Cookie's standpoint
Cookie's standpoint You want to know the cool thing about being an intelligent prankster, you get to be always prepared for the unexpected. I knew Yolanda's father would make due of his threat, so I blocked my ears with the earplugs I always carry in the pocket of my panties. Yes, I always wear pocket panties just in case of emergency. Well, I was tied to a chair in a room, Yolanda's singing voice record playing and me nodding my head to it like I was enjoying it. I could only hear a little of her loud voice, not enough to rattle my brain. I tapped my foot as I pretended to sing along with a similar bad voice, just to get under his skin. My hands were tied behind my back, I wasn't comfortable, but I had no cho
Cookie's standpoint I tapped my foot angrily as I stared at my new uniform, my whore uniform. I wanted to cry, I would probably never be able to bend with the length of the dress and of course, I could see my boobs winking at me. He definitely knew that such clothes would make me look slutty, and I hated it with passion, but the question is: How did he know? No one ought to know except me and… Ursula! That bitch ratted me out! Told him about mom and Carolyn! 'Urgh!!!' I screamed, tugging at my hair. First time I trust someone with a secret, and she couldn't keep her big mouth shut? I will never rat someone out like that! I took in a deep breath, my mind already calculating how to beat her until she dies. Because of
Cookie's standpoint My heart painfully rammed against my rib cage, the sound reaching my ears and resonating in my mind. My throat suddenly felt dry with each dangerous step he took towards me. I tried to ignore it by faking oblivious, quietly trying to start the vacuum. But because of my trembling hands and my panicking brain, nailing the tasks was as difficult as giving stupid people respect. The most frightening thing was how hot I found the whole situation. It made absolutely no sense, but try telling your stubborn body and brain that. Within the brief twenty seconds of him taking his time to advance to my position, my mind already constructed sexy images of him. Ted in a hot mankini.
Later in the evening, 5pm to be precise. Ted and I managed to sneak out of the living room where the kids were waiting impatiently for Yolanda to arrive. Cookie had something to distract her and keep her away; stare at the door intensely. I made him fall on the bed with our lips still locked in a hungry kiss, my hands trying to get rid of his buttons. His hand was around my waist, the other squeezing one of my cheeks roughly. I moaned into his mouth, throwing my legs over to straddle him. His hands went up to my shirt, ripping it open effortlessly. I giggled and grind myself against him, placing my hands on his chest. A grunt vibrated through his chest, his hands going down to grip my hips. And then it happened. 'Mommy!!!!' I groaned with frustration, falling my head on the crook of his neck. Ted chuckled. 'Why do I feel like she's ka
Back arched, head thrown back on the bed, I moaned endlessly, squirming under him. Ted had his head between my legs as he ate me, driving me insane with pleasure with his tongue, teeth, and fingers. It was the little time we had together, one of our very few moments, and we spent it either talking or filling our sexual life. It wasn't easy, especially when I had a very clingy daughter, she wouldn't let me be for twenty minutes. Most nights, she slept in our room, pushing Ted off the bed to sleep on the floor or anywhere else. It wasn't all bad, Ted was always too busy to care. 'Aaaaaaaah!' Ted jumped away from me with shock, even I did. I sat up immediately, using the duvet to cover myself. 'Daddy, what are you doing to my mother? How dare you bite her?!' Ted glared at me. 'I swear, I locked the door…'
Valeria's standpoint I quickly brought the gun from behind me and fired at his body, angrily finishing all the bullets on him, even after he laid dead. I sniffed as tears streamed down my face, he killed my sister's fiancé. Cookie will be so heartbroken. I searched the room and found a splatter-gun. I angrily used it on him. Carlos ran into the room and gasped at the mess. He looked at me chucklingly. 'It's okay…' 'No! He killed him! Ame's dead! This clone guy killed him!' 'Do you think that the original owner of the formula that formed the clones wouldn't have one or two of himself?' I opened my mouth in shock. 'If this was
Yolanda's standpoint You know what I like about my dad? His trust in me. He didn't look down on me like I was some kind of little girl he must pamper, he didn't underestimate me for my age or size. I told him I wanted to handle my uncle myself and he simply nodded, having a strong faith that I would be okay on my own, and I'm grateful for that. I knew the warehouse he was going to ambush, didn't even need any man but the droids to take care of him. I sat on a chair with legs crossed, drinking from my juice box relaxedly as I waited for him to arrive. The gunshots were getting louder and closer. To him, he was shooting humans and making his way in. 'Gather as many co
Cookie's standpoint There is no such thing as an easy kill, there is no such thing as a piece of cake, at least, not in my world. Everything was going too easily, my mind was on high alert. At first, I thought I was lucky, then I remembered he always seems to come back from the dead all the time. Ted did say he is not an easy man, so how did he fall so easily? Okay, that isn't vital because I know he loves my brain, not me. The thing was that I was feeling off all of a sudden, ever since he disappeared and came back. I couldn't question him, not when he snapped at me not to. Something was wrong somewhere, and I was going to find out. I faked pregnan
Valeria's standpoint I rubbed my hands on the side of my beautiful white dress, for my fake wedding. I was really nervous because if things didn't work out as planned, I would eventually die. Carlos assured me that everything would be okay, but I wasn't convinced at all. I didn't want my first wedding experience to be fake but I didn't have a choice. I smiled nervously as I stared at myself in the mirror, Carlos and Carolyn looking at me with a smile. Well, Carolyn was taking pictures. 'I don't want to do this,' I whined. 'We've been through this, you can, just relax.' 'Am I going to kiss him? I can't kiss my sister's fiancé,' 'For a good course, Ria,' Carlos said, maintaining his cool voice. 'Aren't you jealous? That your girlfriend is going to be kissing another man?' I huffed. 'When I know it's fake?' He asked back, folding his arms. He cocked a brow at me, making me pout and suck on my bottom lip. 'I wanted my first wedding experience with you, this
Cookie's standpoint I stared out of the window of the car as I thought about my life with Braddock for the last three months. I felt like a whore sleeping with him, but I had to do it to avoid suspicion and earn his trust. I earned his trust more when I helped him solve some cases he was finding difficult, helped him planned ambushes on his other enemies. In my three months stay with him, he had gotten richer, more powerful and stronger with my advice. He already trusted me, never did a thing without telling me, never went to any secret meeting without me. The things I found out about him; the things he did for a living, the people betraying my father and Ted was so shocking I almost passed out.  
Cookie's standpoint I looked around the wood colored bedroom, clutching my bag nervously with a fast beating heart. I was in his room, sitting on the cushion while he got me something to drink in the bar. I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want to be here. I miss Ted, I miss having him possessively yell at any man who touch or come close to me. Right now, I just needed him to keep me safe from this man. Don't be a coward, Cookie, remember you're doing this for him. You have to survive so you can return to him, your ring is waiting for you. I smiled at my subconscious advice, I had a ring waiting for me. The thought of having him go on his knee
Cookie's standpoint Two weeks later. I wasn't expecting the plan to work so fast, I knew it would be slow but I was missing everyone, missing Italy. I wondered what my family were doing, what Carolyn and dad were doing. She decided that she wanted to be in Italy to take care of Armando who she had bonded with. Valería would be too busy to take care of him, it was perfect. The only thing is that she was with dad and dad was already admiring her. I was scared he would try to use her naivety against her, she wasn't completely alright but sane enough to have a normal life. I had Armando spy on them and promised him that if he cou
