Blood brothers 2

A curse? How? Della was overwhelmed. She was going crazy. How did the curse work? Who was Margaret? She didn't really know.

Though she seems nice at first. She did trick her out of her childs life. For all she knew Margaret was a psycho killer, or a goblin or even a...witch.

Even if the curse wasn't real, it's not worth the thought of a child dying.

Della had to believe it to save them. And what about Llewelyn? He's at her uncle scrooges house. He's been separated too. Did della have to give him up as well? She can't bare the thought of losing another but what if it's the only way to save all of them?

Della grabbed Dewferd, set him in the stroller and she walked to her uncles house.

She knocked on the door with tears falling from her face. Scrooge opened the door himself "Della, where have you been?"He asked "I expected you days ago...are you alright?"

"I know, I'm fine, how's Llewelyn?"She asked.

Scrooge said "He's perfectly fine. My maid Mrs Beakley has been taking good care of him."

"Glad to hear it.."She said.

"Follow me, I'll show you to him"He said.

"No!"Della interrupted, Scrooge was confused "I need you to keep him"She said.

"What?"Scrooge was beyond shocked.

"Please uncle, if you still love me even a little you'll keep him here and out of harms way."She held his hands plying for his help.

"Della?-"

"They're cursed"She said "If they ever find out they're brothers...they'll die"Tears fell down her face.

"Della I-"

Della begged"Please Uncle Scrooge, I can't let them meet, ever, I can't even see you anymore. He might just be the only family you have left."

"Della. I need to know more about this curse"Scrooge said.

Della nodded "You have a right to know"She explained all that happened and Scrooge finally agreed to keep Llewelyn.

Della hugged her uncle tight "Thank you Uncle Scrooge". Della didn't even bother saying goodbye to Llewelyn because she couldn't bare the goodbye "Tell him I love him"She said. She took dewferd home.

Eight years later the three of them had no idea they had a brother at all. Della did her very best to keep Dewey away from the neighborhood of her former mistress but he had to pass there every day for school.

Della being as clever as she was told him that monsters live in those houses and if he ever tried to knock on the door they'd eat him. For a while it worked but then dewey grew to be kinda...reckless.

Dewey ran into the kitchen almost running into the table and starts eating some breakfast "Dewey be careful"Della said.

Dewey didn't respond directly, instead he started talking about completely different things "Mom guess what happened yesterday, so this kid Eddie was trying to keep me out of his fort and so I was like "You can't tell me what to do" and he said "oh yeah?" And then-"

"Dewey I have to get to work"She interrupted "Can this wait until I get back?"

"Oh, yeah it can wait"Dewey frowned.

Della to have lost two kids was very depressed which had a huge impact on Dewey's life even if it hadn't shown yet.

"Alrighty" She kissed Dewey's forehead "Be good today and if I get another phone call from your school because you swore in class I swear that you'll be grounded for life got me?"
