Monster madness

In 1862, a killer was on the loose in London. No one knew how the killer got away so easily, but somehow he has been able to avoid all police officials. The police wanted it to stay on the down low so the public would not worry. However on November 20th the murders were uncovered and it landed on the front page of the newspaper. This is where we find Edna McCrary reading the London times news. "Last night there was a woman found dead in bed along with her husband and 2 kids the bodies have several lacerations and multiple bite marks the bodies looked like they were unmoved. They found no signs of a struggle and have no leads....." Edna stops reading and rushes to her feet running up the polished white and elegant stairs in the foyer, taking the steps two at a time, until she comes to the 3 rooms that hold her brothers. She urgently knocked on William McCrary, Alfred Hitchcock, and Drake Bell's bedroom doors. William her biological brother, 24, steps out first wearing a silk pajama suite and gave her a curious look. In return Edna glared at him and then turned when Drake, 20, her step brother the youngest of the older brothers stepped out looking smug in nothing but black pajama pants. Alfred, 23, the most mature of the brothers came out in him red and black plaid pajamas. Edna looked at all three of them as she stood in her night gown not having had the chance to get dressed yet. Drake was the first to speak he said in a smooth almost deep and concerned voice, "Hey little sis what's wrong?" Edna turned to face Drake and asked in a cold voice "Did you guys kill those people?"

5 years ago disaster had hit a small town just out side of London. The McCrary family were driving back home after just having vacation to help Edna and her two Brothers William and Alfred bond with the newest addition to their family, Drake Bell, they all seemed to really hit it off and Mrs. and Mr. McCrary really seemed to love them it was a happy day. At least it was but then a black automobile lost control and slammed full force into the McCrary's Red car. The children were lucky enough to survive. Edna and drake had a broken arm. William and Alfred had bruised ribs and a black eye. The parents however were trying to be saved but the paramedics showed up just a little too late. Maybe if they had been three minutes early they could have made it but with a busted lung and a neck that was almost snapped in half there wasn't much they could have done anyway. Edna seemed to sense that their parents were dead first and she felt something stir deep inside. She had never felt so broken; Drake hugged her and held her to his chest despite their broken arms.

A few months after their parent's death they were sent to an orphanage. Edna and Drake had a higher chance of being adopted then Alfred and William but it didn't matter because shortly after they arrived they all made a pact to act as horrible as possible, if it seemed like a family was going to adopt them but not take all of them. They had to stick together. Luckily when William turned 18 he was able to inherit his mother and father's wealth and the Automobile factory they owned and since he was so rich and powerful. He was able to 'adopt' is siblings and get them out of that place and back home to their mansion in London.

A year after William turned 18 he was walking in the street with Edna and Drake to buy groceries while Alfred was at home feeling sick. A man with a gun jumped them and tried to rob them. Edna felt the same thing she felt when her parents died. However this time she felt relaxed and welcomed the feeling. When the crazed gunmen pointed his gun toward Drake though she kind of lost it and screamed. When she screamed a green fire engulfed her hands and the gunmen went flying into the wall and was knocked unconscious. Drake looked at her in awe and William looked shocked. When they heard police sirens William picked Edna up and told Drake to run. When they made it home William asked Edna "What on God's green earth happened?" Edna looked confused and kind of scared so Drake lay a reassuring hand on her shoulder, they have always been close, she spoke in a timid voice "I don't know I had this weird feeling like how I felt after mom and dad died. When I saw him point his gun at Drake I kind of lost it. I didn't want to lose him like I lost mom and dad; it just ripped out of me." William looked at her calmly and said "It's ok Edna. Mom once told me a story I thought it was fiction but I guess it wasn't." Drake gave William a confused look and asked "What are you talking about?" William ignored him and looked at Edna and spoke in a creepily calm voice. "Edna go to the library we have. Look on the fourth shelf eighth book down, it's big, brown, and has a leather cover. Bring it to me. Ok?" Edna nodded and rushed off to do as she was told. William looked at Drake who had sat down on the black leather couch. "Drake if moms story is right I may know what Edna is." Drake looked up sharply and glared asking "What do you mean 'What Edna is.' She is OUR sister! She was protecting us! Does it really matter if she isn't normal?" William looked sad and slightly ashamed "No of course it doesn't and yes I know she was protecting us." William sat down exhausted like a ton of bricks just landed on him. He wiped his face and looked down with his head in his hands. William spoke exasperated "Drake look I'm just worried we won't be able to protect her." Drake looked confused "Protect her from what? From who?" William looked determined and was about to speak but Edna came rushing back in with the book in hand. "Here you go William. Now will you tell me what's going on?" William shook his head yes and Drake looked up expectedly "When mom was alive she told me that she had a book that only one with true pure power could open and read and that one day a man would know who it was and deliver that person the book. I thought it was fiction until now here i'll show you." Edna handed the book to William and he tried to open the book. Drake looked at William with a raised brow and asked "Let me see it." William gave him the book and watched amused as he tried to open the book with no success. Drake looked up at Edna and said "Alright lil sis lets see if you can open it." Edna took a deep breath and reached out to grab the book.

She slowly opened it and started to read the first page. Which was written in her mothers hand writing. (Hello sweetie I knew you were special the moment you were born I love you so much I had a feeling I was going to pass before I was able to see your powers bloom I also know your brother William would figure out his 'bedtime story' one day. He is smart like that. Tell him I love him and that I believe in him. Tell Drake that even tho I didn't have long with him that I love him like he was my own and that I know he's extremely talented and protective and I know that you will be safe with him. Tell Alfred I love him and that he needs to learn to loosen up some if he goes through life without any fun he will get grey hair. Heck I think he might now.) Edna laughed at that knowing it was true. Alfred was already getting grey sideburns, but It fit him. ( Now sweetie knowing William he wants to protect you but in truth you need to protect them. I marked a page for you if you wish to use it but if any of you decide to abuse the power you all suffer so be careful love.) Edna turned to the page her mother talked about and read over it. It was pretty simple but she was inexperienced so she decided she should practice other spells before he tried any on her brothers. Drake had tried reading over her shoulder but he didn't see anything it was like the page was completely blank. Drake was dragged away by William a few minutes later and was told to check on Alfred. So with orders from his older brother Drake went upstairs and knocked on Alfred's door asking for entrance. "Come in" Alfred said coughing. "Hey Alfred, you will never guess what happened today!" Alfred looked puzzled and waited for Drake to continue. Drake told Alfred everything that had happened and when he was done laughed at the face Alfred was making. " What do you mean our sister is a witch!" Drake rolled his eyes and said "Yes Edna is a witch and has kick butt powers. Any other stupid questions?"

Alfred looked like he was just shot “Are you serious?” Before Drake could say anything Edna came bursting into the room and her heart broke a little when she saw Alfred lying pale in bed coughing harshly. Before she could stop a piercing ice blue shot out of her hand and hit Alfred in the face shoving him hard backwards into the pillows. Drake looked scared and Edna looked horrified. They both gathered around Alfred and when he didn’t move Edna started to cry and Drake shouted “William!” Then numbly walked over to Edna and sat down pulling her into his lap and hugged her saying “It’s OK Edna. You didn’t mean to. You don’t have control over your powers yet.” Edna replied sobbing “I killed him Drake! I’m his sister and I….I killed him. Drake I don’t want these powers.” William came into Alfred’s room and almost froze, but he’s the oldest he doesn’t have the time to freak out, with cold hands and a numb heart. William reached an attentive hand out and checked for a pulse. He waited then when he was going to pull away and tell his remaining siblings the devastating news. He felt the soft heart beat. Boom…ba boom…ba boom. William sighed in relief and Drake looked up along with Edna. Drake got his voice back first and in a watery ton asked “Is he dead?”

Edna shook a little when she heard Drake say dead but shot William a curious glance when he chuckled. “He’s alive, I think Edna’s powers saw that Alfred was sick and tried to help. He’s fine, better actually his color is starting to return to normal and he doesn’t have a fever anymore either.” They all looked over at Alfred when he started to stir. Edna jumped to hug him but Drake held her back and in return she glared at him. Alfred sat up sorely and then looked at Edna and spoke in a gravelly voice “What did you do?” Edna sobbed “I don’t know William said I healed you but I….I don’t know what I did!” Edna ran out of Alfred’s room and straight into hers.
