She sat there, downing one shot after another, he couldn't understand what was going on with her.
"Why are you acting like this?" he asked.
"I told you." She said "You need to leave; you don't need to be here."
"Listen, I know we haven't known each other very long but I want to be there for you. Whatever, it is that makes you sad I want to help fix this."
"You can't, besides Jesse, they don't like you. They've made up their minds, so you need to leave." She said back.
"Are you talking about your girls. Since when do they decide your life? I've only met them once. Why don't they like me?"
"I don't know; but that's not important. What's important is that they don't and you need to leave... now. Before they get home."
With that, Jesse left the house, but he didn't go far. The bus would bringing the girls home from school soon. He waited for them at the bus stop down the road. When they got off the bus he promptly informed them that their mom wanted him to take them to get ice cream, and she would meet them in town.
Jesse was a country boy, and new the rural roads well, so naturally, he picked the least traveled one in driving the girls to town. Jesse wasn't half way when he took an off road trail that led into the woods. He stopped the girl and got out and made the girls get out too.
"This isn't the ice cream shop." They said.
"Just get out." Jesse replied.
"We want ice cream." the girls replied.
"Well you aren't getting any. I don't know how you girls get your mom to listen to everything you say, but I don't agree with it." Jesse was yelling " I love your mom, and tonight you are going to tell her it's okay for us to be together, or I'm going to leave you here, and you girls can find your own way back."
The sky suddenly got dark. The little girls turned to each other, then turned back to Jesse. Their eyes were pitch black. They spoke in unison.
"No one tells us what to do. You lied. You said we'd get Ice cream."
"What the hell are you doing." Jesse was clearly spooked.
The girls began to leviate off the ground. Their blonde hair had turned black.
"No one will take our mother away from us... No one."
" Okay girls, that's enough." with haste Jesse pulled out a gun.
The girls looked at each other and chuckled slyly. They again spoke in unison.
"Do you think you could hurt with that water pistol?"
Jesse looked at his hand. Moments ealier it had been holding a 9mm, now it had a green water pistol, the type you find in clearance bins in dollar stores.
"How did you do that?"
"You're thirsty" Said one girl.
"Open your mouth." said the other.
"Drink from the water pistol." they said together. "Drink. The water is not bad."
"I'm thirsty." Jesse said.
Jesse open his mouth and put the water pistol to his lips.
"That's it" The girls institgated, "Drink."
Jesse pulled the trigger to taste the water but all he got was his brains splattered against the tree behind him.
"No one will take her away from us. You should have got us ice cream." They said.
With that the girls floated back to the ground their hair turned back blonde and their eyes were once again that piercing shade of blue. They held each other's hand as they skipped back up the trail to the road that would take them home.
