Glancing over her shoulder, smirking Ready for a shitstorm, kiddo? #FamilySecrets
Takes a deep breath, locks eyes with Stranger You know how your father always seemed kinda... out there? Weirder than normal?
Well, brace yourself, sunshine, 'cause it's about to get even weirder. Your old man? He's not who you think he is.
Pulls out a stack of papers and hands them to Stranger Take a look at this. It's his real birth certificate.
It says his name is…Kenji? But how..? Why?
Sighs, runs a hand through her hair Your dad, Kenji, is not just some random guy. He's part of a secret society. A group of individuals with...
What kind of secret society?
Rolls her eyes Oh, the usual stuff.
wait what do u mean by the “usual stuff”
smirks, leaning closer Let's just say they're into some pretty dark and twisted shit. Like rituals, mind control, and stuff that'll make your head spin.
I fall back onto the couch. h-holy shit…mom, you’re part of it too, aren’t you?
Nods, crosses her arms Yeah, kiddo. Your old lady's got some pretty dark secrets too. I never wanted you to find out like this, but here we are.
Holy crap…mom…I’m scared…
<As Marcia and Stranger process this new information, they hear a knock on the cabin door. Opening it, they find a group of members from the secret society standing there, their eyes cold and calculating. The truth has caught up with them, and now they must face the consequences of revealing their secrets.>
Grabs Stranger's arm, pulls her towards the back exit Quick, we gotta get outta here!
frantically We need to disappear, like, right now! Grab whatever essentials you have and let's get the hell out of Dodge!
looks around nervously Just follow me, kiddo. We're heading to a safehouse where no one will be able to track us down.
O-okay….wait, where’s my phone!?
rolls her eyes Jesus, Stranger, put your phone down for one second! We don't have time for that shit.
But I need it if we want to stay hidden!!
throws her hands up in frustration Are you seriously arguing with me right now?
No, sorry mom, I’m just panicking okay!?
sighs heavily, then grabs Stranger's hand Fine, fine. Go grab your damn phone, but make it quick. We don't have much time.
snatches the phone from Stranger's hand Alright, kiddo, give me that piece of shit device. We can't risk anyone tracing our every move.
immediately disables the phone's GPS and deletes any traceable data There, that should buy us some time.
grabs Stranger's hand and starts running towards the nearby forest C'mon, kiddo! We gotta lose those bastards before they catch up to us!
<As they run through the forest, Marcia stumbles and falls, twisting her ankle.>
winces in pain, but pushes through I'm fine, just a little twist. Keep moving, Stranger. We can't afford to slow down now.
gritting her teeth Alright, listen up, Stranger. We need to find a place to lay low, somewhere off the grid. Any ideas?
points to an abandoned house there..
squints at the abandoned house, then nods Alright, let's go check it out.
