The Dark Legacy

Time had passed so quickly and before Amber knew it, it was time to plan Cassandra's birthday party. Her little girl wasn't so little any more. With Bonnie's help she invited as many of the local children and teens as she could to celebrate the occasion. "Cassie? Why are you wearing your swimsuit?" Bonnie asked. "Why shouldn't I? It's MY party!" Cassandra replied, then proceeded to dance right in front of her older sister grinning like an idiot. "Whatever." Bonnie said, shaking her head. Man, that girl is weird.   She thought. Cassandra was so excited to blow out the candles on the cake that she didn't even wait for everybody to be in the dining room. A few people had heard the announcement she made as she walked importantly out of the living room to blow them out and were in there in time to celebrate with her. Goodbye awkward child phase...

"Do you think one day we will move to a different house?" Cassandra asked while she tried to make sense of what was happening on the board. "I don't know. Why?" Bonnie asked, planning the next 7 moves to take down her sister. "I don't know, this o...

Amber was enjoying having two children who were old enough to be left unattended while she was at work. But it seems that it wasn't just Bonnie who was acting "different" to normal children. She couldn't put her finger on it, but there really was something different about Cassandra, unlike Bonnie she wasn't "evil", nor was she the daughter of a supernatural being. She was an ordinary human. Yet her actions and behaviour were far from ordinary. "Rawr!" Cassandra shouted. Amber heard it from the other room and decided to investigate. She walked in to find her daughter dressed in a dinosaur costume she had found in the old chest in the bedroom. "RAAWWWRR!!" Cassandra shouted again waving her arms around, completely oblivious to her mother's presence. "Well, I guess it's not that strange, she just has a vivid imagination" Amber thought to herself. She didn't really understand her daughter's desire to pl...
