Here's chapter 4! DICCLAIMER I do NOT own growing up creepie
Creepie's P.O.V
Budge sat down at my table with my mom and dad. Mom had woken dad up and taken him downstairs.
It seemed like budge was getting all his courage put together when he finally asked "how did you end up in this type of family?"
I shrugged my shoulders as I handed him some tea "they found me on the doorstep and took me in."
He gawked a moment and said "why didn't you just get an adoptive family when you got old enough to realize they weren't truly family, or human for that matter?"
My anger flared "you don't get it!" I yelled "they took me in! They let me live with them no matter that I was human! There better than most humans I've met!"
He looked taken back; I sat back down and mumbled "I don't care if you don't want to hang out with me anymore. Just please don't call the exterminator, or tell Chris Alice."
"I won't" his voice made me look up from my black shoes "it's your family, not mine. That'd be like called social services because I grew up with a family that's weird, It's not right.
I heard a buzzing and saw Polly and Knat, looking seriously angry, at the bottom of the stairs. They flew right up and sat in my lap, and Polly hissed "you better not be lying! Or ill make you wish you hadn't!"
He looked from them to me then said with a strange look in his eye "who are these two?"
I gave them a small hug and spoke "these are my older brothers. The red one is Polly and the brown one is Knat."
He looked like he was going to faint "you're the younger sister! I always thought you were an only!"
Knat flew in front of him and said "nope! She's our little sis!"
I rolled my eyes and deadpanned "Knat your such a pest."
He just chuckled and flew around.
"Anyway" my mother spoke up, finally "it's wonderful to meet you in person budge, I'm usually the one who answerers the phone when you call, my name's Carolina."
"It's uh, nice to meet you, uh, Carolina" budge sort of stuttered, still stuck on the fact I was raised by bugs.
"creepular has spoken about you now and then" dad broke in "I'm Vinnie, or Vincent, her father."
Budge P.O.V
When I said that I wanted to find out more Creepie's secret, I didn't except it to be this. I mean BUGS! She was raised by BUGS! I mean I never expected this! I guess I got to get used to it though.
"I've got another question." I said as I sat for breakfast with a load of other bugs, most of them I knew what species they were, but a few I didn't.
She raised an eyebrow but didn't say no so I continued "what were those shrieks I heard earlier?"
"My aunt rose" she said with the neutral voice "she's a gigantic spider."
I rose my eyebrows "I don't want to know, do I?"
She shook her head "your heads got enough going threw it; I'm not going to put any more in it right now."
I nodded and looked at the "food" on the table. I pointed at it and said "you eat this often?"
She nodded and said "why do you think I didn't know most of the food was in the cafeteria when I first came?"
I thought on that. I looked at her for a minute oddly until she finally sighed and said "what?"
I pointed to her hair "I always thought you dyed your hair? It's natural?"
"What's hair dye?" she asked, proving my thoughts correct.
"It's a thing that makes your hair a different color for a while." I replied, trying not to laugh at her confused look.
A small spider came up and said in a squeaky voice "I'm sure there's a few library's in town able to tell you dearie, look later please, and eat now." She nodded, and I was chocking back my laughter at this scene.
I wasn't sure what breakfast was, but creepie ate it like there was no tomorrow. Then I realized why, there were around 100 grubs eating as much as possible around the table, and she was obviously trying to get something to eat.
I chuckled at the scene and said "what are they, cousins?"
She shook her head and said "nope, there some of my thousands of siblings."
I blanched "siblings!" I squeaked "how are these brothers and sisters!?"
Carolina looked up from one of them and said "are you surprised? I look so skinny; it's hard to believe I've had over thousands of babies, huh?"
I just gaped and knew I was in for a huge ride.
Review! I want one review before I post the next chapter!
