Young Hearts 5 : Adult Years (Brad Simpson / The Vamps Fanfic)

(24) "Brothers"

Brad's P.O.V

 I rushed outside and went to the direction where Lydia just screamed, it was in the kitchen. As soon as I got there, I saw Evan holding her tightly. While both Mrs. Anderson and Consuelo are right behind me, holding their hands over their mouth.

 "What happened?" I asked and looked at the wall. There was something written in red, which from what it looks like ... is an actual blood. "I hope you're happy my brother" that's what it says. My jaw literally dropped. I looked to my side and saw that the kitchen door was left open .

 Thayer and Norrie both crossed my mind and so I ran as fast as I could and went upstairs, only to find her holding him in her arms. "What's happening?" she asked.

"Logan's here" I answered and immediately get my phone to dial 911. But before I could even do so, the lights went out. Everyone downstairs, including Norrie beside me started screaming. I quickly closed the door and told her to go behind my back. My heart is beating too fast that I'm starting to breathe heavily. I can hear footsteps running upstairs and a knock on the door.

 "It's them" Norrie said.

 "Brad?Norrie!" it's Mrs. Anderson. I opened it right away and let them come in. "Where's Evan?" I asked.

 "He's still downstairs, looking for Logan" Lydia answered

 "Fuck" I said as I handed her the phone. "Call 911 quick. I'll help him!" I uttered as I ran downstairs. The house is covered with darkness, the back up generator is at the basement where no one definitely wants to go in right now.

 "Evan?!" I called out his name. I walked near the fireplace to get the poker. I have to be extra careful, calling Evan out could probably mean that I'm drawing Logan exactly to where I am right now. Him being able to get inside this neighborhood is still a mystery. Maybe the security is with him, or maybe he killed the security.

 I caught a movement in the kitchen, it was a shadow that passed by the two posts. I firmly held the poker in my hands and slowly made my way there. But as soon as I reached the kitchen, I was pulled to the side and my mouth is quickly covered. I would have elbowed him but I saw that it is Evan.

 "Be careful, there's more than one of them"

 My heart dropped.

 "What?" I asked back.

 "Two to be exact. I don't know who the other one is"

 "Where are they?"

 "Somewhere here"

 Evan and I then slowly tiptoed our way to the cabinet to get the emergency flashlights. Suddenly, we heard noises coming from the living room and the basement.  "Don't turn on your lights. Just use your memory to picture out everything" I whispered to Evan. He scrambled to get some kitchen knife and went back to the living room with me.

Norrie's P.O.V

 "Hello again. Yes, Intruders in the house" Lydia said as she's talking to the 911 operator through the phone. "Everything's gonna be fine" Consuelo whispered just as she and Mum started to push one of the drawers near the door. Just in case it's lock would be broken off.

 "I need to go out there" I told Mum. Thayer woke up because of all the commotion and started crying. "Don't go out. It's too dangerous" Mum replied. I picked up my baby and tried to put him back to sleep. But it's not working anymore, he just kept on crying.

 Consuelo asked if she could have a turn on Thayer and try to make him stop. "Please" I said and then handed him to her. Suddenly, the door knob started twisting, as if someone's trying to break in. After the metal lock was successfully removed, I sprinted towards the door and blocked my whole body against it. Lydia and Mum quickly went to the drawer beside me and started pushing it. If it's Logan on the other side, then he must be that desperate to hurt us.
