drip....

            drip...

                           drip..

A loud dripping noise filled the empty and humid cave, etchings of ancient beings and runes on the walls, old bloodstains staining the jagged floors as the dried  blood trail lead up to a stand-alone marble pedestal.

A charred and beat-up book sits atop, with a rusted lock keeping it shut. As it trails to an upward view, theres a name on the book.

"Siegfried" it reads, as the lock on the book then shatters into pieces. A low, evil chuckle could be heard bellowing in the cave, as a shadow begins to coat the book.

PRESENT TIME: May 18th, 2006

- Harry -

The morning light filtered through the thin curtains, casting a soft glow over my room. I stirred in my bed, the quiet stillness broken by the loud hum of my crumbling ceiling fan.

'Man I need to get that thing fixed, or have Reggie come in here and fix it, but I doubt he would.' I sigh and sit up in bed, groggy and half-awake. I blink against the bright light, my eyes trying to register their surroundings. I was heavily tempted to stay in my nice warm bed, my covers beckoning me to lay back down, but like any other day, I had stuff to attend to, more importantly I have to figure out what that strange dream was all about.

I rubbed my heavy eyes and reached over to my night stand to grab my black thick-rimmed glasses, my vision clearing up as I slip them on. I hop on out of bed and head to my door only to be met with Penny rushing past it, holding both of her arms down, almost as if she didn't want a smell escaping them. I quietly giggle to myself as she slips into the bathroom and slams the door shut. 'Whats been up with her lately? It's not like her to skip out on a shower. Well I cant exactly blame her, after that last scuffle between her and Reggie, I'd lock myself in my room too if I got called useless.' I stand at the door for a good few seconds, still thinking about the other possible things that could have my sister in a bind, though I wave it off and proceed to the bathroom door.

I knock a few times but no answer, I put my ear up onto the door and I hear the sound of water hitting the tile floor at the bottom of the shower. 'I should just wait until shes done showering, besides i need to talk to her about the dream I had anyways. It just felt so...real.' I back away from the door only to back into someone, I let out a small yelp and twist my body toward the thing I just came into contact with. That thing being my annoying sibling Isaac.

I furrow my brows as my nose began to flare. "I know you're there Isaac! " I hear mischievous giggles from in front of me, god they pissed me off.  "Aye Aye, no need to get your boxers in a twist, Harry Potter." They let out a stifled giggle
as something inside me snapped, bumping into someone invisible is one thing, but comparing me to that god awful series sent me over the edge.

"For your information, I have far more character than that shallow British dimwit, Secondly my glasses look better than his, and Thirdly he doesn't have the awesome trans swag that I do! " I exhale after saying all of that in one go, How dare they compare me to such a dull character!

"Like I said earlier relax amigo, I'm only kidding."  a small smile appeared across their face. Ugh as much as I wanna make them choke and die, killing someone is against the law, sadly.

Isaac then clears their throat, almost as if they're preparing to announce something, they puff their chest out, full of confidence and smile like they'd just saved the day or something. "Well anyways, I , the one and only, have a date in a few hours!" he flashes a gleaming yet cocky smile, as my face scrunches up. "You, my sibling, Isaac Moreno, have a date? is this some sort of sick joke or something?" I say in all seriousness, there is no way someone willingly chose to go on a date with MY sibling, they're the most obnoxious, self centered person I know! Though if they did choose them then thoughts and prayers to whoever you are, you're going to need them.

Isaac seemed playfully offended. "Okay ow. Why is it so hard to believe that I have a date, I'm not that repulsive!"  their lip begins to poke out and quiver slightly, I want to punch them even more now. I then hear my other siblings voice come from her room. "Isaac we're supposed to find you repulsive , we're siblings, and besides who would wanna date your delusional ass." I snicker at the comment , as Isaac crosses their arms mouthing "whatever".

After Isaacs small tantrum they tapped my shoulder. "Is Penny okay?" they asked. I shrugged not really knowing what to classify as ok and not ok for her. She was an open book and would always let you know how she was feeling, so for her to rush to the bathroom without saying anything to anyone raises some kind of suspicion.

"I don't know, I just seen her running down the hall towards the bathroom, she didn't speak to me like she normally does so might be something personal, like girl stuff." I say.

"What do you mean girl stuff?" Isaac tilts their head while asking that stupid question, They cannot be serious. I sigh and write out the word, you could see their face light up with understanding as a loud "OHHHHH" escaped their mouth. God they were stupid.

Before I could retort , Isaac, Sonya, and I hear a shrill scream come from the bathroom. Sonya comes dashing out of her room, inhaling a small bit of air, while Isaacs eyes became a light yellow color, as their hands became coated in this yellow like energy, while my eyes start to subtly glow a toxic green color.

We hear Penny's feet rush towards the door as she bursts through it, the 3 of us back up not wanting to get chin checked by a door. Shes in her shower clothes, her bonnet slightly tilted to the side, it seems she was getting away from something?

Sonya glances over at Isaac. "Go get the others." Isaac nods as he vanishes, I feel a small breeze hit my skin, seems to be rushing off to get them. Sonya knelt down to see if Penny was alright, though from my perspective, she seemed different I don't know what it is but her presence doesn't feel the same, What happened to my sister?

As Isaac came back with Mira, Linnea, and Ethan, you can see the concerned looks on their faces.

"Penny? are you ok hon?" Linnea walks closer to her, hand reaching out to touch her, thats when Pennys head quickly looks upwards towards up, causing Linnea to stumble back. What the fuck was that!? Penny gulped before she parted her lips.

"Something grabbed me..!"
