50 The Canterbury Isles Part 2

After Avery came back with the medication, Olivia grabbed Laila a bottle of water while Loreley laid her down on a lounging chair. "Sorry ladies, I know you wanted to go have some fun but Laila needs to have some rest. If you want I can take you where ever you want to go and we can leave your father to take care of Laila if you like." Agni said with an unsettling smile that sent shivers down Olivia's body.

"No thank you mother I don't think it's fair to leave Laila behind." she said as she held Laila's hand "Olivia is right mother I think it is best to stay with Laila. Olivia and I can change into our swim suits and grab some books. We can keep Laila company while the two of you take a walk along the beach." Loreley said sweetly.

Avery clapped his hands together "What a great idea! I trust the both of you to watch your sister, if something happens one of you can come running after us while the other watches over her! What do you think honey? Want to talk a romantic walk along the shore with me." Avery said as he grabbed Agni's hand and placed a kiss on her knuckles.

Agni gave a big smile "Darling of course I would love too..." Olivia grabbed Loreley's hand and started to drag her back to the hotel "Great we are just going to change and be right back don't go anywhere yet!" she shouted back to them.

As they half ran into the hotel Loreley jerked her hand free "You know this is your fault! If you didn't come so late my sister's anemia wouldn't have acted up! She needs to eat a healthy diet and at regular time intervals! Now that your done being so damn selfish lets quickly get to our rooms and change!" Loreley spat at Olivia as she marched up to their room.

Once they entered the room Olivia tried to apologize "I'm sorry Loreley I had no idea your sister had a medical condition." Loreley gave Olivia a scowl "Of course you didn't know because you a so self centered while the rest of don't even exist in your world!" Olivia ran to her bag and pulled out two beautifully wrapped gifts.

"You do exist! Here I got you and Laila Christmas gifts. Please wear it now and I will give Laila's hears when we go down." she pleaded. Loreley gave Olivia a cold look as she grabbed the gift out of her hands "What is it?!" she said arrogantly.

"I got the three of us matching swimsuits, sort of, they are all white bikinis with the same exploding fireworks designs but each one has a different color scheme. Yours is orange and yellow, Laila's is sea blue and orange and mine is magenta and orange, I thought they were cute." Olivia said shyly.

Loreley ripped off the packaging and quickly changed into her bikini, Olivia gasped "I knew you would look great in it!" she exclaimed. Loreley looked herself in the mirror with a smile, then turned to Olivia and shoved something in her face "What is this!" she said bluntly.

Olivia laughed "A bonus gift! I thought this satin ribbon necklace would look nice on you too! Look it has the same heart charm that's on your bracelet so I had to buy it." Olivia said happily. Loreley had no words to say she brought the necklace to her chest and gave it a small hug. With teary eyes she mouthed the words 'Thank you' and turned around.

"Well move your a** already I don't want Laila to worry." she said coldly as she opened the door. The girls decided to walk out bare foot and grabbed some towels from a laundry lady who was passing by. Once they thought the coast was clear they started to talk quickly and quietly.

"Olivia you read our note!"

"Of course I did! I was a little confused at first but when uncle Robin found the listening devices your note made perfect sense."

"We will always be on your side but know this that 'thing' has our weaknesses and we can't break free. Stay strong Olivia and don't let her win."

"What do you mean she has your weakness?"

"Shh that demon could be coming to us soon so please bare with it."

Loreley's prediction was right, Agni was swiftly moving towards them and Loreley put on a scowl. "Hurry up you twit! We have to get back to Laila, she waited long enough because of your arrogance." and marched off towards her mother.

The three women made it back to Laila in a matter of minutes. Olivia ran to give her the gift, "Laila you must be so warm in those clothes! I brought you down your gift I do hope you could wear it." she asked her enthusiastically while Laila looked at Olivia, then at Loreley, she didn't dare look at her mother and asked "Why are you guys wearing matching bikinis, I want one too you look so cute." she gently whined.

Olivia's face lit up like a Christmas tree "Perfect I bought you one too! I'll help you to the change room and take your clothes." she said as she helped Laila off the lounging chair. "Dad watch over Loreley, we don't need any boys trying to pick her up because she looks so good!" she shouted with a smile. Avery laughed as he raised his hand to give her a salute "I will watch my ladies like a hawk!"

After Olivia helped Laila lay back onto the lounge chair, she and Loreley went and grabbed their own chairs to lay in. They placed a chair on either side of Laila with books in hand. "Have a good time!" the three girls shouted in unicent as their parents walked away.

Once they were out of sight Olivia looked around for a bug, she found one near them under a chair. She carefully removed the bug and placed it on another person's chair "So sorry I didn't mean to hog the chair, please take it." she said to an elderly lady and pulled out her chair for her to sit in "Why thank you young lady" the elderly woman said happily as Olivia gave her a smile back before she walked away.

"We are good to talk." she whispered to Laila while Loreley was just returning with a bright pink drink "Here Laila I got them to make your anemia smoothie you should be feeling fine in about 15 minutes." Laila quickly took the drink out of Loreley's hand and started to suck back the liquid.

"What's in it?" Olivia asked curiously "Raspberries, blueberries, beets, bananas, prunes, spinach, chai seeds and orange juice." Loreley answered, Olivia made a mental note just in case she ever was left to watch over Laila.

"We don't have much time to talk Loreley! You know she will find a reason to come back soon." Laila cried, Loreley nodded and started to talk fast.

"As I told you before that 'thing' has our weaknesses and we have no choice but to obey her." Loreley started "She is a monster that will be hard to beat but you can not defeat her in one go."

"What do you mean?" Olivia asked "Please just listen we don't have time for questions" Loreley hissed while Laila nodded in agreement.

"She is tricky and has her own fleet of 'Edmonds' on her beck and call, but they aren't as good as Edmond they are average at best but they can get info. What I know is she hates you and wants you gone, don't let her win. Don't let your guard down or get too cocky, she will play you like a fool and when you think you have her she will pull you down, step on you and come out on top."

Laila finished her drink and continued where her sister left off "I am a living doll when that demon is around, the only reason I am still living is because Loreley is my life line. What she did to you a few months back she has done to us but a younger age, we even had her 'special' tea. Loreley was strong enough to pull through but me... well I'm anemic now. Our dad found us half dead and rushed us into emergency."

Laila's tears started to pool in her eyes "He found out and confronted her... next thing we know he goes on a business trip and his plane goes missing, they couldn't even find the black box with his last message to us." Loreley hugged her sister and continued the story.

"The last thing he gave us were the charm bracelets. He wanted us to be safe and died because we weren't strong enough." Olivia thought back to the day in the hospital and remembered Loreley' words when she woke up 'I saw dad', a shiver ran through her body and she started to rub her hands for warmth.

"That demon has Laila as a living doll and I am but a puppet that must follow her orders. We took a chance and wrote you that note. Just like then we are taking another chance now, Olivia we are betting on you. Save us and bring down that demon!"
