Vincent's Revenge ✔️

The Beginning of My End

Stressed Out- Twenty One Pilots

It was a Friday. November 17, 2017. Four days ago had been my 17th birthday. Just to be clear my birthday was and still is November 13, 2000.

*Vincents Flashback POV*

"Bye mom. Bye Dad," I say stepping out the door. I leave the door open a second more to listen for an answer, but I don't hear one.
I walk to school hoping to see Olivia Oaks. Olivia and I been hanging out a lot recently. I was starting to like her. I already knew she liked me. I didn't see her.
Strange. Usually I walk her to school.
I continued walking down the street to my school. Alister's High School. A pretty big school. Alister Corenell is the Headmaster of the school. Soon I was at the doors to the school ready to walk in. I took a deep breath getting prepared for another day of boring of school. I walk in the door and to my locker.
I opened my locker and a letter fell out. It was addressed to Vincent Nicholi Serene. I opened the letter and took out the paper inside. The letter read,
Dear Vincent Nicholi Serene,
Sorry.
Though you may not know why yet. You will later. I will not be in school today for reasons you will find out later unless you thoroughly read this letter.
At one today is when you will be leaving school.
Yes you will be will be let out of school early today.
Although I will not be there to tell you this today or perhaps any other day I do like you. I know you like me too.
When you get your to house and only if you haven't figured out the code of this message. Go into the garden.
And stay there until you hear sounds. I will not tell you what kind of sounds you will hear.
You really must trust me.
For your life may be in danger.
Remember this when I tell you. BE CAUTIOUS OF YOU BROTHER!
Oh. and remember this also. BEWARE OF YOUR BEST FRIEND!
More Importantly DO NOT TRUST THEM!
You are still reading this I know. Your intrigued by what I will say next.
On the day of your birthday. I gave you a present and told you not to open it. That you would know when to open it.
Unless you still haven't figured it out.
Right after you read this letter you will open it.
Hope you haven't forgotten where I told you to put it.
On the very top of our favorite tree. In you guitar.
My dearest friend please figure out the message. You are very smart.
Everything you've read right now has a purpose. Whether you figure it out before it's too late or you've already figured it out . I am hopeful that you have. If you don't I am sorry. Sorry for everything that is to come. Please also remember this in your moments I was forced to do what I had to do. Do not be angry. Goodbye.
  Your Dearest Friend, Olivia Carly Oaks

Olivia! Why would she right this letter. Maybe it's a joke. No this is Olivia's handwriting. She said there was a code. What kind of code. What could this be. She also said something about the present I was given.
I run towards mine and Olivia's favorite tree. A huge oak. I start climbing the tree to where I keep my guitar. I loosen and move the strings around to get the small box out. When I get it I immediately open it. When all the wrapping paper is off. I am left staring at a letter and a ring. Not just any ring though. Olivia's ring. Her favorite ring.
What the! Why would she give me this?
I took the ring out and set it on my guitar. I then opened the letter that read,
Answer to the Code: STAY AWAY FROM YOUR HOME!
What in the world! Why would I stay away from my home? Olivia said to be cautious of Issac and to beware of Alexander. But, why! Thats another suspicious thing. I haven't seen Alexander. Usually he is waiting for me by my locker. That reminds me, Issac wasn't at the house either!
Where is Olivia!
Before I know it I take the ring and start sprinting down the street. I know where I'm going. To Olivia's house.
I walk onto Olivia's doorstep and knock. Once. Twice. Three times. I here the doorknob creaking on the other side of the door and Mr. Oaks opens the door.
"Vincent what are you doing here?" He asks looking at his watch
"Have you seen Olivia?" I ask him
"She left for school this morning, why?"
"She wasn't at school. I couldn't find her anywhere."
"You couldn't?" Mr Oaks asks alarm raising in his voice
"No Sir, I haven't." I say
"Go run and check the park."
"Ok. If she's not there I'll check my house maybe I left earlier than her. She might be looking for me."
"Ok. Find my little girl Vincent." He says
I start running down the street once more. I run towards the park. I search around the park for awhile. When I don't find her I start running to my house.
The letter said 1:00. So if something were going to happen to me it would after 1:00. maybe...
I continue running towards my house. When I get there I try to be quiet. I look around for awhile. After a while the only place I haven't searched is the... kitchen. I walk into the kitchen and don't see anything.
I end up walking out of the kitchen. I search around my house some more. Soon I walk in tot the garden. I look in the bushes, the shed, and on the other side of he gate that surrounds my backyard.
When I don't see anything I walk back into my house. I'm surprised at first, because I smell smoke. I hadn't smelled smoke before I went into the garden. I walk around the house once again, but this time I'm looking for where the smoke had come from. I walk into the kitchen last.
Why though? Why did I always check the kitchen last? I don't know. Sometimes I have this feeling. Like, a... uh... A foresight. Like, I knew I should stay away from the kitchen on this day. I've had this feeling before. Like, when I first met Olivia. I knew I would be friends with her in the future. And here I am, friends with her now. But, I still I don't know why the kitchen, The kitchen of all things, gave me a bad feeling at the moment.
When I walk into the kitchen I see the oven on fire. Completely on fire. The fire had already spread to the walls to the left, right, and front. I'm about to turn around and run when the oven makes a rumbling sound and then, boom! It exploded.
I fall to the ground because of the impact of the explosion. I hurriedly get up and look at my only exit. The fire was starting spread there to. I'm about to run when I hear another sound. Not a sound like the oven exploding. A small sound. Then I feel it. I feel something shoot into my ankle. I fall to the ground and then look at the wound in my ankle.
A gun shot!
I roll over an look around for who shot the gun. Then I see him. My brother, Issac and my best friend, Alexander. I look at who is holding the gun, Issac.
My own brother shot me! Why!?
"Why did you shoot me!" I scream at Issac
"You always got more attention from mom and dad than I did. I decided it wasn't fair." Issac says with an evil look on his face.
"And what about you? Alex, why do you want to kill me?" I ask terrified
"I'm here because of Olivia. I'd tried for three years to get her to like me. But, then she comes to you! That's why!" Alex screams venom in each of his words. His ice blue eyes were practically shooting dagger at me.
"So your both here because you jealous of me. You're crazy!" I scream
"Oh, we're not the only ones who want you dead." Issac says calmly, dangerously.
"You want me Dead! Who else wants me dead?" I ask Issac
Issac doesn't answer. But the tiles on the floor start to move and three people come through a hole in the floor. Jessica Miller, Nathan Corts, and Max Fosters.
I roll my eyes and say,"And why do you guys want me dead?"
Jessica decides to speak first, "You never gave me a chance. I was always running after you, but you always pushed me away. I'm done now. Your going to pay for not giving me a chance."'
"Because I don't like you!" I tell her, "What about you Max. Why are you here?"
"I always tried my best to make the Quarter back at school. I would work over time. Train as much as I could. And what do you do? Nothing! And yet you always get the QB spot. You do nothing and get what you want." Max hisses at me.
"Nathan?" I say, my ankle throbbing.
"I'm with Max. You do nothing to get girls attention. But they just trail after you. It's not fair. I try everything to get one girls attention. But all you have to do is walk by a girl."
"Ok, so Issac wants me dead because his jealous of attention I get, Alex is the same, Nathan the same, Max because of the positions I get, and Jessica because I don't like her. Anyone else?" I ask half sarcastically.
"Olivia. Helped set this whole trap for you up. She was jealous because of the attention you get from other girls." Alex says
Olivia?! But she... she was trying to keep me away from them. Away from my house. She knew about them. Knew they were plotting to kill me. But she tried to help.
I felt betrayed. Confused. Hurt. I squeeze the ring in my hand. And that's when the forehand kicks in again.
She was forced to. She had to have been forced. Because she wrote the trick letter, but she coded it. She tried to tell me to stay away. The ring was to tell me she was on my side.I bet they told her they'd hut her too if she told the police. That's got to be it.
Then, I was pushed to the ground and strong hands wrapped around my throat. I look up to see my brother. I tried to push him away. But, My 18 year old brother was a lot stronger than I was. So I didn't work. I kept trying, but nothing worked.
Choking me. Make it look like the smoke did it.
I look at him with a deadly glare and spit out my not-so-finale finale words, "I p-promise you. I-I will come b-back and get my... my r-revenge."
"How will you do that little brother? YOU will be DEAD!" Issac says the venom obvious in his voice.
"I-I will c-come b-b-back....." I say whispering the last words.

*Vincent's Murders Flashback POV*

"Time to get out of here!" Issac yells to the rest of them
The others went down the hole beneath the tile first. Issac looks back at his dead brother. The shot on his ankle was already burned away. His brother wouldn't burn completely. But the shot would be unoticable.
Issac hopped into the hole and recover it with the tile. They would get a clean getaway.
And the Issac felt no sadness than his brother had died. He felt nothing. The words his brother had muttered. 'I will come back and get my revenge.' that wouldn't happen. He was dead. He wasn't coming back. Ever.
Issac heard the sirens of the police ambulance, and firetrucks. All coming towards his house.

*Fireman Flashback POV*

The firemen fan into the house. Searching for any survivors or possible dead bodies.
I walk towards the kitchen first. Where the fire was worst. I walk in and I see a boy around 16 or 17 years of age lying on the floor not moving. I run up to the boy and pick him up. I run out of the house and out the door, dodging any fire in the way. I walk up to the paramedics who already surrounded me.
"He didn't make it." I tell the paramedics.
"We'll see what we can do." One of them says
The other firemen come out and announce no more people in the building.
The others start to hose down the burning building and I watch the flames melt away.

*Doctor Javelos Flashback POV*

I examine the 16 year old boy that had died in the fire today. His neck was swollen. It was the smoke that had killed him. Other than his left ankle which had been burned severely. The kid was in great condition. It was the smoke that killed the kid. He wasn't quick enough to get out of the house. Poor kid.
I think his name was... was Vincent! Vincent Nicholi Serene. Poor kid.

*Vincent's Present POV*

So that's what happened. That's how I was killed. Apparently my murders knew what thy were doing when they set the fire.
Now for the last question. How will I come back. Well, tomorrow is my 17th birthday. But really . On my birthday I will come back.
A portal-ish kind of thing will open. I will go through that to get back. I won't come back as a spirit. OR a ghost or anything like that. I'll come back as my old self. real. human. The same as before. Except this time, I'm coming back with a different objective. To get revenge on the people who killed me. I will keep my identity a secret until the last moments of their lives. And Olivia. I don't know yet. Maybe I'll tell her. Tell her who I am and what I'm back to do. Maybe I'll keep it a secret and stay as far away from her as possible. But killing her isn't an option. Guess we shall see.
