De Vil, Not Evil - Chapter 4: I Promise

He was scared. He wanted Carlos. He was locked away, in some house. It reminded him of Carlos.

He whimpered at the thought. He saw the bad man hurt Carlos. Is that why Carlos hasn't found him?

His neck hurt. He was chained to a tree for far too long. He had wounds from where the chain wouldn't let him go. No matter how hard he ran, he couldn't get away. He was taken from that spot when he grew too weak and tired to fight. The bad man brought him here too.

The worst part was when he saw the bad man. He recognized him.

When the three former villains finally made it to Jay and Carlos' room, Jay hadn't fully prepared himself for the income of emotions that overcame him. He knew it would get worse when he entered the room. He just wasn't aware how much worse.

The first indication was the broken lock on the doorknob. When Jay tried to use his key, he realized something was wrong.

"Was is always like that?" Evie asked nervously.

Jay just shook his head no.

Slowly he opened the door, all of the prepared for an attack, for a fight.

None came.

But when they entered the room, they wished there was someone there. So they could beat that son of a witch.

Carlos' half of the room was terrorized, practically ripped to shreds. His clothing torn out of his closet, shredded and the pieces thrown onto the floor. The little inventions he kept here, simply made of scrap metal, but important nonetheless, smashed to bits. His beloved laptop was in the same shape. Completely destroyed. Even his bed was attacked, the wooden frame cracked beyond repair.

And for Jay's stuff... It was completely untouched. Not a single thing out of place. Everything simply ignored, in favor of Carlos' stuff.

Jay found himself filled with rage and dread. This was a direct attack to Carlos. Again. And they didn't even know when it was. Was it right after Carlos was hurt? Was it when it was revealed that Carlos was still alive? Was this a part of the first incident, or a reaction to a failure? And they didn't know because Jay was too afraid to go back to his room. All because of emotions. Worthless ones, like fear and sadness. He didn't need those emotions!

Jay was shaking with rage when Mal put a gentle hand on his shoulder.

"We need to tell Fairy Godmother. She needs to know about this. Put better safety measures for Carlos. This proves the person is against Carlos specifically, not us or any other villain." She explained.

"What did Carlos do wrong?" Jay asked loudly. "He never does anything wrong. He was never a villain in the first place! He was just a servant to his mother. He never wanted to be evil!"

"People were never against us. They were against our parents." Evie answered quietly.

Jay thought this over, then nodded his head. Fairy Godmother needed to know.

~:-:~

"And Jay's stuff wasn't touched at all." Mal finished.

They were all standing in Fairy Godmother's office, Jane passed out on the couch. She wouldn't be waking anytime soon.

"So this means this was a direct attack towards Carlos. Oh dear." Said Fairy Godmother.

"Yeah, but Carlos doesn't do anything wrong. We think someone is still upset about his mother. Do you have any idea who?" Evie asked desperately.
