The Plot of Revenge Begins

      Just as I was getting worried I got a message from Zoey checking on me. She even sent one to Jaylor when I didn’t respond right away. I had always been close to Zoey. She was the sister I always wanted before my little sisters were born. I would have been lost without her. I couldn’t bear the thought of her being super mad at me and not talking to me. I was so relieved when I got her message. It was now Friday which meant family night and I would be left all alone in the treehouse. Jaylor had finished getting ready and was leaving to go to dinner. Before he left he promised he would come straight back after family night. I was too tired and stressed to fix myself anything to eat. I was getting ready to read a book to pass time until he got back. When I decided I might as well just get ready for bed first. I was reading when Zoey and Jaylor walked in. I jumped up and gave Zoey a big hug as I was happy to see her. Somehow she got her mom to let her spend the night in the treehouse. Being so excited I pulled out some of their games so we could enjoy the night before we all went to bed. The last thing I wanted to talk about or think about was Steven. Seeing what I was doing Jay ran over to help me find something and asked Zoey to help clean up the table so we could play a game. Hearing the word game she got Excited until she got to the table. “Violet didn’t you eat dinner?”, asking in a worried tone. I just shook my head and didn’t speak up. We ended up getting cards out instead of a board game. We let Zoey pick the card game out and she picked Skip-Bo. We were casually talking about the kids at school and Zoey being a typical girl was talking about how cute the boys were. Zoey turned to Jay and asked, “Jay isn’t there any girls you are interested in yet?” Before Jay could speak I spoke up, “Zoey remember no one has really called Jaylor Jay since y’all’s dad passed. He had asked us not to.” Zoey looks down as if she’s about to cry. Jay responds, “Zo don’t cry. I know no one calls you Zo and no one calls me Jay anymore as we requested, and calling one another those names makes us feel closer to dad. So why don’t we make make an agreement that no one outside this treehouse can call us those names that will be just between the three of us.” My heart started pounding why did he include me in the agreement? I’m not family nor are we together. Maybe he sees me as a little sister after y’all they are two years older than me. Zoey lifts her head up with a smile. “Okay Jay the tree of us that’s perfect. Our own little club. My Best friend and my twin I’m loving this.” We had a moment of silence where no one spoke. Then Zoey spoke up, “Jay you never answered my question.” Jay blushes and stays quite. The game is coming to an end for the third time, Jay has won one and so have I so this is the tie breaker if Zoey doesn’t win, and Zoey speaks up with a chuckle, “so if one of you win what’s the prize.” We decided on if he wins I bake a chocolate cake and if I win he has to get up early and try to cook breakfast and if Zoey comes back and beats us twice Jay answers her question. 

         It’s the next morning and I get up early to help Jay. Well supervise as he tries to cook us breakfast. Turns out he needed way too much help and I took over. When Zo got up she noticed how close we kept getting to one another in the kitchen and even said it was as if we were already family, I was completely confused by this, I laughed it off. She started telling me the routines she had already found out and got more names off the list. I started making an elaborate plan on how to make them pay. When she left she only messaged me every few days and came out once a month with all the information and to get more names. I started practicing to get ahold of my power. I didn’t understand where it came from or how it manifested or why me. Jay helped me practice so I didn’t burn anything down. The more I practice the more permanent the Amber glow on my skin has become. I have had a few issues so Jay made me start practice by the pond. Jay found my list today and the plans so we got into a fight. I went to the pond and without trying I ignited every target on fire just by wanting to burn something. My skin is burning hot and the amber glow is brighter than ever and my eyes look as if there is an actual fire in them. This time I take all my focus and try to ignite one of the floating targets that had drifted to the middle of the pond. I didn’t succeed. Now I decided to try a fireball in my hand and I did succeed there. I threw it as hard as I could and watched it burn out before it reached the targeted area. I need more practice. Knowing what I can do now everyday I get better. It's been a few months and school will be starting next week. Jay has been trying to convince his mother to let him stay in the treehouse for the school year. I don’t want to be alone, but so far he has not succeeded . They have tried to get me to sleep in a room but I insisted on the couch. Jay has had to go home and I’m alone. I get ready for the first day of school. When I get to school Steven is there waiting on me. He grabs me and drags me away in front of everyone. I scream for help no one even dares to try. Jay and Zo pull in as Steven drags me around the corner. He will not hurt me this time. I get pissed and my skin starts to get burning hot as soon as he touched me he burnt his hand. He rushed himself to the hospital. I smirk knowing he will never touch me again. On my list I’m saving my mother for last. She knew and never tried to stop it, she even bought me lingerie for him for those awful nights.  She had taken me to the hospital, and had those doctors that are covering everything up, put me on birth control as soon as I had my first period. She was suppose to love me and instead told me it I was really her daughter I would do it for her and be happy about it. I walked back to school and went in. Everyone was gossiping about me behind my back. As soon as it was lunch time I found Jay and asked him to take me back to the treehouse. I will only go to school as long as my information is incomplete. As soon as I have what I need I have vowed to never go back. It only took a few weeks and we had everything we needed. The first person on the list was the Police Chief. He had to pay for his injustice.
