"Joe, Lester. How have you guys been." David said walking right up to them. Rachel let the rest of the group to catch up, she turned around to the helpers that where taking their luggage.
Without thinking she tagged them, she has been training herself to not be too reliant on Shadow-weaving. She was about to hit two years without using it.
"Nick, come on!" Shelly said, everyone had moved inside. Rachel nodded and walked inside.
"Joe" Rachel walked up to him immediately "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Yeah"
They both walked away as the group where giving beers and wines of their choice by her helpers. They took what they wanted from the snack table pilled with food.
"When was the last time you seen Megan Physical?" Rachel went straight to the point.
"Ummm...What?" Joe frowned.
Rachel sighed. "I mean personally, has she come visit you with her new husband. Have you met her husband."
"No, that's why we are here? Our parent gave her the villa cause she asked to you…."
"Was it through a text message?"
"Yeah, it was. She texted mom, but, when mom called her, she didn't answer. She made some excuse that she was not feeling well right now. Well, anyways mom and Dad told us to come and check on her…."
Rachel folded her arms, 'The helpers are all leaving' she noted, her tags should her that they are hoping in their cars and driving off.
"…. She says, she will see us tonight." Joe finished.
"Alright, let's go back." Rubbing her eyes, Rachel nodded.
As they walked back, everyone one was in the middle of playing 'UNO', Joe went straight ahead and joined the game. While Rachel waved her hand as she sat next to Shelly and wrapped her arm around her intimately.
Shelly handed her a cup of beer, and she took it absentmindedly. Rachel then looked at the cups in a daze, they looked somehow wrong. She was not sure how long she stared at the cups, while everyone's noise seemed to dill. At some point she fell asleep, she was not sure when.
Rachel felt groggy, but she was somewhat conscious as she heard voices. Something else, no it was clear to her she was bleeding. She must have been attacked while unconscious.
Nick's body was heavily drugged, but the blood-loss lessened the effects allowing her to wake up. Opening her eyes, she saw that she was laying on the side and left a large machete.
Rachel used the shadows to keep her blood loss to a minimum.
"No, NO, no" Rachel heard sobbing, she knew that voice as she saw her sister Tara crawling backwards from an assailant. Making no hesitation, Rachel got up holding her stomach as she ripped out the large knife.
And quickly made her way over.
Slice!
When the assailant was down, Rachel never felt more exhausted as she also fell sideways on the grass. She is outside the mansion, probably dragged out here.
"Oh mY god, Nick!" Tara screamed crawled over.
"S***.... Who was that?" Rachel said holding her stomach that started bleeding again. She started to put more pressure on it.
"F******, Lester started killing people out of nowhere. David, Joe, and Josh they are all dead….." Tara said panicked and sobbing.
"….." Rachel groaned. "That was Lester?"
"….." Tara paused and then frowned. "No, that wasn't…."
