Interacting with: Each Other 
[hr][hr]

Nina had been silent since her brother had started to direct her home after they had seen Rachel tied up to the statue like that. Flashes of what had happened to Jan streamed through her mind like a train wreck; awful but couldn’t look away from it. She barely noticed that Everett had tugged her away from her brother and had her get in the car.

It was only once they reached the house that Nina realized that she and her brother were not alone anymore, and no where near the school. She turned to look at Petyr and Everett, looking a little confused, but still had a sort of dead eyed air about her. [color=d86c00]”Huh? Oh… uh… thanks for the ride Everett… um… sorry did you say something else?”[/color] She looked at her brother and frowned. Something was bothering him, and she could tell. Besides it starting to feel like a freezer next to him, his brows were furrowed. [color=d86c00]”Bratr, co se děje (what’s up)?”[/color]

[color=0076a3]”It’s… it’s nothing. Just a passing concern, that’s all.”[/color] he responded, although the temperature told her otherwise. Nevertheless, his hand found its way to hers and grabbed onto it with a reassuring firmness. [color=0076a3]”We’ll get through this sestra. I promise.”[/color]

By then they were rounding the corner near their house. As they pulled up, Everett suggested they come stay with him for a while. Petyr turned to her, as if deferring the question to her, but his face suggested he had reservations about the idea.

Nina turned to look at Everett. [color=d86c00]”One moment, I think my brother and I need to talk for a moment before accepting that offer.”[/color] She slid out of the car and pulled her pack around and started digging around for her keys, silently cursing. After a few moments she found her keys and shoved them in the door and turned the lock and went to open the door, her hands shaking a bit.

“Fair enough, you two go on and I'll take Dags for a walk.” Everett said, hopping out of the truck. He made note to take the handgun with him, shoving it in the back of his waistband. 

Everett was smart enough two things, that every cop in town was gonna be at the murder scene and that it wasn't technically illegal for him to have it with him. The latter was at best questionable. 

Everett slapped the tail gate and called for his beloved companion. He was gonna wait to make sure they got into the hose before walking anywhere. Although he did get a giggle when Dags started howling. Knowing that there was siren going off somewhere. 

Not long after, Petyr was closing the door behind them. As soon as it was closed and locked, he turned and pulled his sister into a hug. Only when her shaking had stopped for a moment did her let her go and start to talk. [color=0076a3]”So, what do you think? I’m not sure it’s the best idea, for a few reasons, but if you want to go stay with him I’ll go with it.”[/color]

[color=d86c00]”Otec is out of town, and while I know you’d protect me, I think it would be better if we went to the lodge. Our house isn’t what I would call the safest of places… but talk to me. I can tell you're hiding something, you lied to me in the car.”[/color] Nina only stepped back a bit and looked up at her brother. 

[color=0076a3]”Well…”[/color] Petyr looked like he was struggling to find words. [color=0076a3]”I’m not sure I trust Everett. Not that I think he’s hiding something, or that he’s a bad guy, or anything like that. But, I mean…”[/color] he stopped for a moment and tried to pick out his thoughts again. [color=0076a3]”Between the beer from yesterday, the cutting class, and now after watching him almost rip you away from me and into his truck with a gun in his hand and that look he had about him… He’s a loose cannon, Nina. And I’m not entirely sure it’s the best idea to hang around him. If he went off like that after someone he didn’t even know got killed, who knows what he might do if something tries to hit closer to home? Not to mention you said he saw the damn eclipse…”[/color] 

Nina bit her lip and started tugging at her piercings, looking more at the floor now. [color=d86c00]”He’s just… I’m sure it’s just because he doesn’t wanna lose anyone else. I mean, you saw it too… she was strung up just like Janice. I’m sure if got the chance to know him... “[/color] She looked up at Petyr and realized her words were not making anything better. She tugged more at her ear and sighed. [color=d86c00]”You do what you want… I’m going to pack.”[/color]

Petyr sighed shortly after. [color=0076a3]”Oh come on now, that’s hardly fair!”[/color] he said half-jokingly. [color=0076a3]”I’m not about to let you out of my sight here. I’ll get the travel bags out of the garage, just let me leave a note for dad first. God knows he’ll rush home as soon as they get wind of this at the camp.”[/color] He went to the kitchen to grab paper and a pen.

[color=d86c00]”I’ll be upstairs figuring out what to pack… not that it's hard given what we have.”[/color] Nina sighed and headed to her room. She started pulling the essentials out of her dresser and set them in a pile on her bed. She opened the closet and the new dress caught her eye. She sighed and put it on the bed as well. More of a just in case senario. She doubted the party was still happening, not that she minded that much. 

She then darted out of her room and into her father’s room. Usually she and Petyr stayed out of it while he was away, but Nina wanted one thing from it. She pulled open a drawer and fished out a zippo lighter from it. She knew her father had quit smoking years ago, but still had a pack and lighter stashed away for cravings. Or a reminder. She wasn’t sure, but for the moment that wasn’t her intent. She flipped the lighter over in her hand, and then shoved it into one of her jacket pockets and zipped it closed. 

She then went back to her room and pulled out a few other things and added it to the pile of clothing she had going on her bed, and sighed.

As soon as the door shut and Dags began howling. It was like a magic cue for the old man next door to come running out. Everett nudged Dags to stop howling but he didn't. Truth be told Everett didn't really care. 

As the old man stepped off his porch, Everett's temper wanted to runaway. Maybe it was the day, or the events, or where he was that kept him from losing it on the old. “Old man, you tend your biscuits. Today is a very bad day to fuck with me.” His tone may have been a kitten harsher than intended, but it was nothing compared to the demonic sounds that was coming from Dags. 

The old man stopped in his tracks, a two hundred pound wolf dog with his teeth showing will do that. “Dags, stop.” Everett said as he leaned against the truck. As Dags stopped the old man went inside. 

Not long after, Nina and Petyr both stepped out the door with bags in hand. Petyr turned and locked the door behind them, and then joined Nina and Everett by the truck. [color=0076a3]”Alright, shall we get going then?”[/color]

Nina sighed and hefted her bag into the back of the truck and then climbed into the cab. [color=d86c00]”Looks like we’ll spend the night with you while dad’s out of town. Just don’t be surprised if he shows up at the lodge tomorrow. We left him a note.”[/color] She turned to look at Everett as she spoke.

“Fair enough. Dags jump.” Everett said slapping the side of the truck. As everyone got in the cab of the truck, Everett stated the truck. When everyone was inside Everett pulled off to the lodge. The ride was quiet if not filled with tension. 

When they arrived Everett was the first to speak. “Welcome to the Lodge ladies and gentlemen. The party will start in a few hours, please take this time to relax and unwind.” Everett was the first one out of the truck, grabbing the bags after opening Nina’s door. 

[color=d86c00]”So, question. Where are Petyr and I going to be staying? I can’t believe I didn’t ask that earlier.”[/color] Nina got out of the car and paused, waiting for her twin.

“We got a few guests bedrooms. Not all our clients want to be out in the bush for a week at a time. You two can sleep there. Dags likes you so he won't be too far away. Anybody gets close to the house, you'll know quickly.” Everett walked through the front door and up the stairs, dropping his guests bags off in front of the door. 

Petyr looked at Nina, took a deep breath and then gestured toward the Wilcox residence. [color=0076a3]”May as well make ourselves at home. After you, sestra.”[/color]

[color=d86c00]”Thank you bratr… and thank you Everett. We really do appreciate this.”[/color] Nina headed into the lodge and let out a sigh. She knew that the rest of the day was going to be awkward, but she was going to try to make the most of it. Or so she hoped.
