Monster high

a family reunion

@CelticWinterWolf thanks for your request! 

(The certain someone's POV)

I am seriously pissed, no let me rephrase that, I am absolutely raging! I sprinted out of my apartment's door and flew down the stairs into the garage. I quickly put my helmet on over my head and ignited the engine of my motorcycle. It roared to life as I took off like a madman, my destination? Monster High school.

"Hey, Tate? how are you doing, and your studies?"

"Hey! Yeah I'm fine dad, you worry too much. It's going alright but I miss the ocean, so what got you calling?"

"Right, promise me you won't flip..."

"Dad...what happened? tell me."

"Don't do anything rash! It's still uncertain but it's about Daniel, he is hurt."

"I'm on my way."

"wait Tate! list-"

"....."

(present time)

I lean in just a bit more as I drive trough a tight corner and once again speed up. I'm just outside of the forest near the barrier and school as one thought dominated all of my sense of reason, I need to get to my baby brother as fast as possible. A million possible scenes run trough my mind as I try to figure out what could have happened to my sweet Danny in such a short time, he's been at that place less than two weeks!

I look closely trough my helmet and see the barrier. I am trying to calm down as my eyes refocus now that I'm in the barrier. Inside the barrier it was never too cold or too hot, the sun would always shine brightly but not blindingly and it would only rain if lady Persephone wished for it.

I saw the big iron gates and decided to finally slow down, I was seriously lucky that I didn't get in trouble with America's finest because I've been driving like a madman.

I parked right outside the front door of the enormous castle/school, not even sparing a second glance at the awestruck little hormonal monster teens who were swarming both me and my motorcycle. I somehow can't seem to get through them and I was seriously getting pissed so I just raised my voice and told the kids to scram. I think I scared them a little too much, but who gives a fuck?

I bolted through the entrance and made a beeline for the headmistress her office. While walking up the stairs I could feel my anger return along with my worries. I was running again when I made my way trough even more kids and finally I noticed a dark colored door with gold handles and paintings of flowers and small animals decorating it. Above my head dangled a gold sign that said: 'headmistress'.

I didn't even bother to knock as I ripped the door open and was stormed over to the desk, miss Persephone had a calm expression on her face as I undoubtedly had a livid one on mine. I step up to stand directly across the heavy writing desk and her as I slam my hands on the desk's surface.

"Where is my baby brother? How did he get hurt? What happened!" I basically screamed as I felt frustration taking it's toll on me. I felt fear take a grip on my heart as a familiar scene creep into my mind but I willed it away, this is different.

"It's good to see you've grown up so well Tate. I am very delighted to see that you are still as compassionate and lively as you were before." she smiled at me but her eyes held no emotion, not even her usual cheeky glint that somehow always made everything feel fine if I'd done something wrong.

"Don't avoid my questions! Damnit Persephone! Can't you just be a responsible adult for once in your fucking life?! Where is Daniel?!" I demanded to know where my baby brother was, I will personally deliver the person responsible to Hades himself!

When I looked up again the miss looked both insulted and hurt at my outburst of anger. In fact when I looked into her eyes I knew immediately that I had gone a step too far with my little tirade.

Regret washed trough me and I lowered my head. I heard a scarping of a chair and a light tapping of feet. A hand appeared in front of my face and I was ordered to look up. Her eyes sparkled in understanding as she nodded her head to me.

"I understand your frustration but you'll have to wait a little longer, I know what has happened before with Danny. Your father asked to keep an eye out, but I assure you that he is safe and in very capable hands."

"I wasn't there to help him before and now again! I wasn't there..", I took a deep breath and calmed myself down a bit. " I'm sorry Lady Persephone, I shouldn't have yelled."

"Let me tell you a secret, you are the best brother anyone could wish for so Daniel has probably already forgiven you for that time. And as for me you have always been my favorite student ever so I forgive you as well." she ruffled my hair like she did when I was still a teenager.

A small knock on the door made me tense up immediately as a young (probably new) witch stepped into the office. The lady motioned her forward and told her to speak. She told the mistress that some kid named McCarthy was alright, just exhausted and he had a few small scrapes but nothing major that his body wouldn't be able to regenerate.

I wasn't interested in some werewolf or vampire or other beast then my little brother, but if she's in charge of the injured then she must know where my brother is as well. The woman's expression went from a positive expression to one that was a bit less positive, rather worried.

"The second boy that mister Chiron brought in, uhm who was it again... ah D'Anjou? He's a bit more roughed up. He has several deep cuts and-"

"Where is he?"

"In the magic infirmary, but he isn't-"

"Thank you!" And that was all I had to hear to bolt out of the room and to the infirmary, I had gone to Monster high myself so I knew every possible shortcut and route to and from anywhere to everywhere.

I raced down the main stairs and bumped into several people while on my mad rush to the infirmary. I shouted an apology and continued to take a right and then a left followed by another set of stairs going up and rushing towards two huge heavy oak doors that lead to a pretty familiar place, the infirmary.

I threw the doors open with a bang once again without so much as a knock and looked around for a split second then found my target. A pale, small boy covered in bandages and with a divider around half the bed.

My anger evaporated as I felt relief rush over me, but it was soon turned into a heartache and worry seeing him next to the different monitors and IV's he was hooked onto. I marched over and my knees nearly gave out when I saw my baby brother again for the first time in about a year and a half, hooked up to all kinds of funky machines.
