WARRIORS OF THE DARK AND SKY || MY OCS.

°•Chapter 1 - The Beginning•°

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Madeline and her brother Maxwell helped both of their parents at their local bakery. The bakery was sometimes busy from how full the place would be. Especially Mondays, because it's a brand new start of the week. And mostly donuts and coffee are sold on Mondays.

Their bakery was a well known place, especially its cheap. Get a coffee for at least three or two dollars.

Anywho.. Madeline, when she gives the customers their orders.. she would overhear their conversations. It was always something about some villains or even demons. The 15 year old didn't believe such things, because they are just fairy tales like her mother would tell her every night when she was 6.

Maxwell is interested and wanted to learn more about the villains, and demons. Lurking mostly during midnight because no one is awake at the time, obviously.. Madeline is just interested in the bakery her family has, she enjoys baking and helping around a lot.

Sometimes it could be trouble because they are low on money, And.. technically living in the bakery. Where they sleep and hang in, is upstairs. There are some stairs behind the counter, where it leads up to a bedroom with a television and couch. It was small but they made it work. The bed is in the far end corner and the television in front of the bed and the couch against the wall, facing the television.

Today was closing day, besides. It is Wednesday, On Wednesday's there aren't any customers. So, it's a good break for the middle of the week. Madeline is sitting on the couch upstairs where they stay in, watching television. As her brother was sewing up their mother's dress. Madeline was watching some good ol' classical. The black and white screen in front of her. As the blonde woman spoke to the tall man on the screen.

"Are you watching that show again, sis?" Maxwell asks, glancing up a few times at her to see if she heard him. His voice was calm and soothing. A little southern accent to it.

Madeline looks up at her older brother, nodding in response. She looks back at the television and speaks as she watches.
"Mhm. It's the only show I actually enjoyed. I just wish they would make more series of this."

The 19 year old nods and continues to sew. "Hm, it does seem quite interestin'. What is it 'bout again?" He asks. He seemed to stop sewing and looking at her sister, listening to what she had to say.

"Oh, just a woman who was sent by the enemies of the man to kill and get his plans." She says, shoving snacks in her mouth as she chews. "Nothing much. But say.. when are mother and father comin' back?"

Maxwell seemed to take in every word she said. He looks at the time when she asks that. It is already 11pm. Then looking back at her. "They should be here any minute. It is late."

Madeline's expression then shifts to a concerned expression. She is truly worried, they haven't been this gone before.. Maxwell notices her concern, sighing to himself. He stands up onto his feet, off the floor. She pats her sister's head and walks towards the stairs.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they're here now. I'll go ahead and check. Stay here, okay?" Madeline just nods and glances back at the television. As she hears her brother's footsteps going down the wooden stairs.

Madeline seemed distracted from her show, finally.. looking up at the clock in the small room. She notices how it is already 12:05. And her older brother isn't back. She places her snacks down and turns off the show she was watching. She stayed still and quiet to see if she could hear anything. Nothing.. nothing at all. She builds up her courage and decides to head downstairs to check herself.

Each quiet step made her heart beat. It throbbed in fear. She looks around, the moonlight hitting down against the top counter. She takes a few steps towards the door but.. before she could. She stops in her tracks.. her eyes widened. Her heartbeat sped up. The sight in front of her, her parents laying there on the floor. Blood spreading on the floor. On the back, they seem large claw marks. She also sees her brother laying there with them. Before she could react, the sound of growling was just in front of the counter. She quickly ducks down and presses her back against the counter.

The growling stops after a few minutes. She turns to look if the thing is gone. Her eyes widened more when seeing the creature right in front of her. The creature that was described by the customers discussion she overheard. It's hot breathing hits against her face, it's eyes were red and its teeth were sharp.. almost too sharp. The claws were big and sharp. She crawls backwards and flinches when it tries to strike a hit, nothing happens? She opens her eyes, seeing her brother literally biting the thing's arm. His teeth were sharp, they weren't normal.

Madeline is frozen in place, watching the fight. The creature throws Maxwell which makes Madeline break into her senses. She stands up and shouts out her brother's name in fear and worry.

"GET OUT OF HERE, MADELINE!!" He shouts, trying to hold back the beast. Madeline runs out of there, looking back a few times.

Finally, the next day arrives.. Madeline runs back to the bakery and runs inside the place. She sees her brother having big scratches on his ripped shirt and bare chest. She hugs him and cries her heart out. "BROTHER!"

"I'll be alright.. There's no need to be worried, sis." Maxwell smiles weakly. The heard of sirens were nearby. He looks over at his sister, his smile fades away. "Did you call the police or ambulance?"

"N-No.." She sniffles. As the police barges in. They help the two who were covered in blood. The policemen were suspicious of Maxwell because he is covered in blood and held a knife, next to their dead parents.

"I'm just asking, were you the one who did this?! We'll be taking you-"

"There's no need, officers!" A woman speaks. "We'll take it from here."
