A Heavy Metal Christmas

Chapter 9

*GENERAL P.O.V*
It's been twelve years since Colleen and Jake had Juliet and Anthony.
During those years, Juliet and Anthony travel with their grandfather and uncles all over the world, learning the ropes of how a heavy metal band does what it does.
18-year-old Anthony learned how to play the drums (courtesy of Jay) and 16-year-old Juliet is currently learning how to play piano (under Craig's instruction, of course).
Anthony and Juliet have grown from stealing toys to loving and protecting each other like a brother and sister should. (Anthony proudly remembers a time three years ago when he beat up a kid who was picking on Juliet because of her petiteness. Back then, Juliet stood at 5"2'; now she's 5"7'. Colleen wasn't too happy with him, but Jake, Corey and Mick were all proud of him and Juliet thanked him for it.)
These days, the siblings are growing up and looking an awful lot like their parents.
Juliet has big blue eyes like her mother. Her hair was colored a pretty pastel purple, and she cuts a doll-like figure with small hands and feet and a lovely heart-shaped face.
Despite her beauty, Juliet is no lady. She takes after her grandfather in both use of vulgar language and dress. She has a no-bullshit attitude and defends her family (especially her father...she won't admit it, but she's a total Daddy's girl) with a fierceness that isn't unlike Corey's. Her closest friend and confidant is her big brother, Anthony.
Anthony, like Jake, has short blonde hair and light blue eyes. He stands at 6"3' and has a lean, muscular figure to even out his height. His two main role models are his father and Jay.
Like his sister, he dresses like Corey, but isn't as vulgar in his speech. However, like his sister, he protects and defends his family like you wouldn't believe.
Colleen and Jake love their children and are very proud of them. Corey and the band consider the siblings as their own children.
Recently, Corey has tossed around the idea of letting Anthony and Juliet join Slipknot. However, Anthony and Juliet want to make their own band together with a few of their friends.
Shawn was delighted that the siblings were considering this, since he himself was the original founder of Slipknot. He offered to help them give the band a running start, and the three of them are currently working together to get the band noticed.
As for Rick Gosse, he served the appropriate sentence in jail before being released. He hasn't bothered Colleen or her family since he got out.
Haley, Isabella and Sid had moved into a house next to the Slipknot Mansion and Isabella grew up alongside Juliet and Anthony.
However, unlike her second cousins, Isabella isn't as rough around the edges; in fact, she's very shy. She has long, curly light brown hair and big green eyes. Standing at 5"5', she also has dainty features, like Juliet. One could call Isabella a bookworm, since she prefers books and peace and quiet.
Even though they're complete opposites, Juliet and Isabella get along quite well. The others accept Isabella's quiet shyness and protect her if anyone picks on her.

******AUTHOR'S NOTE*****
Hey guys!! Thank you soooooo much for reading the Colleen Taylor stories!!! I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them! I had no idea when I began that my little stories would gain so much attention. I want to thank Haley LaValley (@francine1207) for being the one to keep pushing me to write more stories, and of course, the people who read my stories, you fantastic, lovely people, who inspire me to keep writing. Even though I don't know you all personally, I feel like we would be great friends (yes, even you, @Madam_Overlord. Still love that comment about Andy Biersack 😆). Sadly, this series must come to a close. But I loved writing it, and connecting with all of you.
KEEP YOUR HEADS HIGH AND SMILE!! SLIPKNOT LOVES YOU!!!
