Before Us

Story Telling

    _???'s Journal P.O.V_

  I walked through the woods. Why? I was going home from school. Why do I live in the woods? Well....Lets just say my parents are wanted criminals. Awesome, right? Anyways, I was walking especially fast today, unlike other days where I take my time to take in the stunning features of the woods on the way home, but anyways, I was walking fast because this was the day mother was going to tell me everything I've wanted to know since as long as I can remember. She was going to tell me about the war between the "King" and the "Queen". She had pictures of her and the other heroes who helped her defeat the "King"!

Ehm, or should I say, the "Wicked King"? Hm. Anyways, Journal, let me tell you about the Wicked King and Kind Queen first. I don't know much, but I do know that the Wicked King was a cold hearted man... Err... Wait no... He was an alien! Yeah! Anyways, this.. "Creature" was able to turn into a dragon at will, and was very very powerful. He even killed his eldest sister Marianalus husband. How? He killed him because he jumped in front of his wife. The Wicked King wanted her dead, not him. Why? He wanted a part of her "dimension", but she refused. She, before this, was the only one who saw through him. Who saw past all of his fake smiles and jokes. She knew what he wanted, which was power. However, the Kind Queen was a magestic creature, for she was not only appealing to the eyes, but she had three eyes to get lost in. This third eye of hers was able to see all. Past, present, future. She was acknowledged as "The Goddess of Wisdom and Peace". She was the complete opposite of her little brother. She was much more humble, and what she had.. Well... What she had, she took care of like her life depended on it. Many said living under her rule was like living in a dream world. Everyone is free to do as they please, but there isn't any violence or chaos. What could possibly spark up a war between these two? I don't know.. But I'm about to find out shortly.

     _Violet's P.O.V_

Before I was able to drift off in thought and wonder, my annoying younger brother bursted into my room. Ugh, Julian.

"Wow, you still have that stupid journal you always pretend you hate?"

"Ughhh."

He grinned. Boy do I wish I could kill him. But mom said "No killing your siblings unless you're in a fight to the death!"

Ugh. At least Payton wasn't so bad.

Speaking of, Payton barged into my room all of the sudden, saying

"Heya sis! Can I borrow your hair straightener?"

I gave her a brief nod as she grabbed my hair straightener out of my vanity drawer. When she had left the room my eyes had darted back to Julian. He just laughed like the annoying little shit he is and ran out of my room, calling me "edgy" on the way out.

"What a wonderful 16th birthday." I said to myself as I sighed, looking down and twirling a strand of my deep black hair. Suddenly, my mom bursts into my room, followed by my dad. They were holding a homemade cake that I'm assuming mom made.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET YET VERY EMO DAU-"

"shhh"

My dad put his finger on her lips, shushing her. I hated when she called me emo. Well, even if I am technically emo.

"Uh? AH! OH-- SORRY!" my mother said nervously, eye looking around the room. I never knew what happened to her right eye. Probably has a cool story to go with it. Not as cool as hers and dads proposal story though. Mom and her crazy Russian friends, haha.

"Uhm....Nicco-"

"-Violet."

"Ugh. Why don't you embrace the fact that you're somewhat named after a crazy demon who tried to kill your father and me? I don't get it." she said and clicked her tongue.

I laughed a bit, remembering when she told me about why she named me Niccolete.

"-I also really liked that name. Remember my one ex that was from pe-"

My moms left eye twitched at the mention of my dads dating history. If I was a weeaboo like Julian, I'd call her a straight up yandere.

"Oh- haha...ehm..sorry honey.." my dad said, rubbing the back of his head and smiling sheepishly.

"It's okayyyy~ I had fun dise-"

He covered her mouth.

"not in front of her." He whispered while tilting his head towards me.

I just sat there, smiling at them awkwardly.

"Wait, if dad has blonde hair and your hair is chesnut, how is my hair black?"

Mom shrugged in unison with dad. Oh my god, why are they so clueless about all the normal family things???

"Aaanyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHILD!"

*confetti poppers pop brought to you by Dad™*

My dad, after popping the confetti poppers, made awkward jazz hands.

I love my parents so much. So sweet for people who are wanted for countless crimes against humanity. It's not their fault that those orphans were flammable. It's not their fault that they blew up a jail while my mom broke my dad out of jail using her connections with Russians and tanks. And it is NOT their fault that my mom has literally murdered every girl that has dated or even had a crush on my dad.

Sigh. They're just so blissfully unaware of how much danger they're in.

"Ni- Violet hun, why do you keep trailing off in thought? Is something wrong?" Said my mom, who I saw was close to me as I snapped back to reality. She looked worried.

I gulped and look her straight in the eyes and said

"I want to know more about the war."

"Th-The war?! You know mom doesn't like bring-"

"shhh. I promised myself that I wouldn't keep alot of secrets from the kids... I.... I don't plan on breaking that promise now."

My dad seemed to give her some sort of signal and she nodded at him and grabbed my hand and pulled my up off of my cha(i)r.

"Come along now dear, I have to take you somewhere. Honey~ take care of Jullie and Payton would you?~" Mom said in a sweet tone.

She let go of me for one second to go give my dad a quick peck on the lips. They're so cuuuute~ Like modern Bonnie and Clyde~!

He turned red like a tomato and was rendered speechless, so he just nervously nodded and gulped.

"You'd think that after all we've done you wouldn't be so easily flustered by me by now." she said coldly.

"....But it's cute~." she mumbled a bit.

My dad started walking away after kissing mom on the cheek because if she even said one bad pick up line, he'd turn into a tomato.

My mother smiled to herself then grabbed my hand again, leading me gently to outside, to the car.

"Come now my darling, there's some people you have to meet~!" She said as she pushed me gently into the passenger seat. Or as my dad liked to call it, "the shotgun".

She climbed into the drivers seat and started the car hastily, she then started driving off to... Well... Who knows where.

"You remember aunt Morgan riiiight?"

"Uhm...." I dug really deep into my memory... That name rang a bell. I don't remember much, but I do remember how she was some captian for a weird ship. She was... Very fun.. But things never felt right around her. You could always tell when she was faking a smile..

"...Yeah."

She sighed.

"Well. Time to spill the beans... The beans that contain all of my life secrets!"

"I'll just start at where it all began!"

Flaaaaashhhhhh baaaaaaaack
