The Family of the Dark

Off the Grid [1]

This here, is the start of how our already crazy lives, changed completely. Our father, he had told me and my siblings, that we need to become ghost's. Only time we talked to someone else, was another agent, only for a mission, we needed a way for money.

We were ready to kill, we knew how to.

"Oi kids, come here!" Our father yelled.

"Sit" He said.

"First off, I love you, second, you need to leave everything and everyone, school, friends, girlfriends or boyfriend's, I don't know with you kids." Our father said as a joke.

"No social media, no phone, no nothing." He said.

"What's going on?" My brother, Johnathan, he's the oldest, twenty-six, who goes by The Black Death, asked.

"I'm going to be targeted, I was foolish while on a mission, I'm sorry son." Our father said while looking down.

He didn't want to look at us.

Emily, shes my age, twenty-three. She was taken in by the Dark family as she tried to rob us, when she was thirteen. She was bloody crazy. A homeless child, my father felt bad. But now, she was silent, she's gets silent to avoid crying. Unless she's real pissed.

She's the Queen of the Dark. A queen in our family.

One of many.

"I can trust you kids to work together, I know you guys, you can ghost anyone if needed, start going to school normally, and slowly push yourself away." Our father said.

"Yes, father, we know what to do" I said.

A day later, school came, our father wasn't there to make breakfast, neither was our mum. We knew it had happened.

Emily punched a hole in the wall. With ease might I add.

"Emily, we need to be strong, well, you're already too strong, scares the bloody shit outta me, but please, calm down." I said while hugging her.

We went to campus together, with our scarfs covering our faces, we also had our hoodies up.

Our friends were waiting with a cup of brew for us as usual.

"The bloody hell is up with you three?" Our friend Elijah asked.

"We stayed up watching films mate, bloody tired" I said to cover up why we were silent.

"You was always a film buff weren't you mate?" He asked.

"Yeah, thats right, hey I'll jump back with you idiots right now." I said as I started to walk towards my girlfriend.

"Handle what you need to Dahlia." Our other friend Jackie, said.

"Hey Lizzie." I said while taking off my bracelet, a gift from her.

"Something happened, I can't talk about it, but I can't talk with you anymore, I want you to take this bracelet back, keep it, because it may be all that's left of me." I said while handing her my bracelet.

"So that's it Anthony? Just like that?" She said in an annoyed tone.

"Lizzie-" I said before she cut me off.

"No, you listen this time Anthony Dark, you are so fucking secretive, I don't know who you really are so if you want to break up because some stupid family issue, then so be it, go back to London or wherever in the UK you lived in." She said as she was about to slap me. Queen, my sister, grabbed her hand.

"Leave Elizabeth, what's done is done." Queen said.

"You alright?" She asked me.

"Yeah, yeah, all good, let's head inside now, freezing me hands right now." I said as I dropped the bracelet, and put my hands in my pocket.
