The Death Siblings: The Deathly Duo

9 - He Was No Leader

Standing in the living room of a chic styled home, two young siblings could be seen together. One was male while the other was female. Running around the place, they'd play with each other as they'd laugh with happiness. Pushing each other around, the girl would fall into a wooden table. Pushing the piece of furniture over, it would fall to the floor with a thud.

Catching the attention of someone in the next room, an older lady would walk in. With long brunette hair, lush eyelashes and wearing some skull earrings, she'd stare towards the kids.

"Callum... Megan..." She spoke clearly. "Settle down now... Come on!"

Looking up to the woman, apologetic faces would be seen on them.

"Sorry Mum!" They mumbled in sync, running over and giving her a hug.

"Hehe, it's okay you two..."She giggled. "Just be more careful, please?"

Nodding back towards their mother, they'd continue to play around the room. The TV would play in the background as the children imagined their lives away. But something would quickly bring that to a halt. Out of nowhere, the front door to their home began to get bashed in. The mother would run to her kids, grabbing onto their arms and pulling them into the kitchen. But within seconds, the door would fall down. In came running multiple armed men who were wearing black masks. Grabbing onto the mother, they would pull her towards them. She'd try to wrestle them away but not before harshly being shoved towards the ground.

The kids would continue running, making their way outside. Arriving in their garden, they'd turn the corner before stopping at a window. Mistakenly, they would peer inside only to watch their mother being shot in the head. Screaming from what they witnessed, the men would spot them. But police would already be in the distance, with their sirens blaring.

As the intruders looked to each other, they all would decide to go. Leaving the kids unharmed, they'd run to their neighbour while drowning in their tears.

A few years would go by, having the two siblings now being teenagers. Still living in the same house, the depression could be sensed. The household hadn't been happy for years. Their cousins, aunts and uncles would try to cheer them up, but alas nothing came of it. 

Nothing would make their heads turn, not until one day. They would receive a letter through the door inviting them to Ipswich. It only had a small note which read.

'Come to the abandoned Co-Op building in Ipswich's town centre. You both have lost something dear to you. Now let us give you something to help replace that hole!'

As the two siblings read and reread this note, it would take them a while to decide. But finally they would go. Taking a train to Ipswich, they would arrive inside the station. Making their way outside, the two would run off towards the town centre.

It took them a while to locate the building, having to use Google and citizens to help guide the way. But finally they would arrive. Looking around all the different entrances, the siblings would stop before a glass double door. With no warning, they would open. Out would stand an older gentlemen, looking down between the two.

"Welcome..." He spoke, smiling towards them. "My name is Mr Wedferdoor, please do come inside..."

The explosion would shake Ipswich, leaving a crater in its place. As the dust settled, an unconscious Wedferdoor dragon could be seen. As for the other three, it seemed Bella-Rose was covering the men with her beast-like body. Taking the brunt of the blast, she would yelp with pain before collapsing to the ground. Seeming the both were unscaved by the incident, Carl would turn to Chief Death. 

Running around to check on his sister, he'd tear up as he noticed the damage she had taken. Patting onto her, he began to speak.

"Come on Megan, get up..."

But still she laid. Out of nowhere, like some miracle, she began to cough. Shaking her body, she'd slowly lift herself off the ground. Peering over to the unconscious dragon, she'd notice the grey smoke began to engulf him. Quickly he transformed back into his regular self, coming back to reality as he did. Slowly opening his eyes, he'd start to stand up.

"That was painful..." He groaned. "But... I refuse... I refuse to be taken down!"

Growling at the sight of him, she would cause the two men to glance over. Holding their weapons, Carl and Chief Death ran in for the attack. Launching bullets and holding the frying pan up high, Wedferdoor would just close his eyes. A second later, he was gone. Disappearing within a blink of the eye, the villain was nowhere to be seen. Sliding to a halt, the two men looked towards each other confused. 

Slowly arriving behind the two men, the lime gas would begin to surround Bella-Rose. Morphing back to her regular self, she looked extremely beaten up. Scratching the top of her head, she would suddenly hug her brother. Pulling away from him after a few minutes, she would sigh.

"What do we do now?" She asked. "We've got one box, the other is destroyed... And Wedferdoor's gone..."

Carl would pick up The Berhe Box. Holding it with one hand, he'd scoop up the shards of the shattered one. As he finished, he'd walk back over to his friends with a smile.

"Well..." The chief spoke. "Maybe we can start by finally disbanding the assassin conglomerate."

As the mute man would nod, agreeing with the chief, Bella-Rose would sigh.

"I guess... I just..." She looked to the ground. "I thought we were going to stop him..."

Realising the damage they had caused and the many onlookers they had, the three would sprint off down the road. Making their way through Ipswich, the trio arrived back at the destroyed assassin base. Noticing a bunch of assassins standing around, they would quickly spot the group. Getting into defensive stances, the three would stop. 

"Stop! Wedferdoor's gone!" Chief Death yelled, hoping to get through to them. "Our leader was a fake. He was no leader at all. All he cared for was himself, never giving any of us a single thought. Stop letting someone as villainous as him control you. Do you really want to destroy your home and hurt the people you love the most?"

The assassins would glance and mutter amongst themselves, considering what the male Death Sibling had to say. After a few minutes, a few of them would nod. Dropping their weapons to the side, they looked between each other and began to cheer.

Smiling, Bella-Rose would turn to her brother and pat him on the back. Being proud of how he just handled the situation, she would give him another hug. Standing away a few seconds later, she began to think to herself.

If Wedferdoor was really gone, what were the three to do now. They had no home, no leader, nothing... As the trio peered to each other, they'd all be lost in anxiety and thought. Finally, someone spoke up.

"If he comes back, he'll come for us..." Bella-Rose pointed out. "So let's take the box and the shards of the other one and let's get out of here!"

Carl would scratch the back of his head as the chief would nod.

"I know the perfect place...." He smirked.

Turning around, the three would walk off with the boxes still with them. Arriving beside a still in contact SUV, they would climb inside. With Chief Death once again in the drivers seat, he would start up the engine. As the car began to roll, they would begin their journey.
