:Chapter 18:

:Isabella:


-7 years ago in a small town-


"Isabella, Ryne, Enyr, get down here now." Our Mom yelled. "Told you she'd find out." I said to my older identical twin brothers. "Shush it Isabel." Ryne said shortening my name. Enyr looked at me and nodded. I mumbled something under my breath and started walking after Ryne and Enyr.


Walking into the kitchen we went up to our Mom. She was holding up Dad's and her dresses for the party they were going to tonight. They were a indigo color. The same color of my eyes to be exact. "Why are our dresses for the evening indigo." Mom asked.


Ryne laughed at that. Mom shot him a glare shutting him up. Enyr smirked at Ryne. Ryne was the talker of them but Enyr was the evil one. "Isabella what happened, your a good kid you won't lie right?" Mom asked crossing her arms across her chest. I looked at my brothers. "We didn't do anything, Ryne and Enyr were with me playing Pokémon the whole time." I said defending my brothers. Ryne smiled at me.


My mom crouched down in front of me. "Isabella I'm disappointed in you," Mom said. "Why?" I asked. "You lied to me." Mom said. "I was just defending my brothers." I said. My Moms face softened up. "Ok, you guys are grounded for a week." Mom said. We all nodded in sync. "Now scram." Mom said. Mom turned around and started walking away. "Need to find a new white dress for the hunter gathering." Mom muttered.


I looked at Enyr and Ryne. Ryne swung an arm around my shoulder and hugged me. "Thanks Izzy." Ryne said. His ginger hair was falling in my face. I looked like a carbon copy of my Mom and my brothers were the copy of Dad. I smiled at Ryne. Enyr walked over to me and surprisingly hugged me to.


Enyr wasn't touchy touchy at all. None of us were. We might tease each other a lot but we care for each other. I had no idea this might be our last hug.


"Let's go." Ryne said releasing us. Enyr ran up the stairs, his hair bouncing. Ryne and I ran after him in a hurry. Walking into their room we sat on Ryne's bed. He grabbed his stack of Pokémon cards and smirked at us. "I'm gonna destroy you two." Ryne said cracking his fists.


About 1 hour later we ran each other out of cards. We play this like animals. "I win." I said smiling holding up the last card. Ryne and Enyr rolled their eyes at me. "We let you." Enyr muttered. I still smiled. Ryne got up and put the cards away.


Running up to the T.V. Ryne turned it on. Animated characters popped on it. I tilted my head in confusion. "Anime." Enyr said. Ryne got a bag of popcorn and smiled at Enyr. "Anime night!" They both yelled.


Ryne grabbed white cheddar seasoning. I looked at Ryne and smiled. "Can I stay?" I asked giving him puppy eyes. "What do you think Enyr, should we invite her the epic world of anime?" Ryne asked Enyr. Enyr looked at me with a smirk.


Enyr leaned closer to me. "Do you Isabella think you can handle the anime community?" Enyr asked raising his eyebrow. I nodded my head smiling at him. "Ryne start it up." Enyr said. Ryne got to work. "What you see shall be kept secret, cross your heart." Enyr said. I crossed my heart grinning.


Enyr pushed a button on the wall and snacks started appearing and drinks. "Choose what you want." Enyr said. I turned around and looked at the assortments of candy. I grabbed a package of mm's and cookie dough and a diet Pepsi.


Turning around I looked at Enyr who smiled at me. Ryne jumped in between us with a huge bowl of popcorn covered in white cheddar seasoning. "We're watching Death Note." Ryne said. We all nodded as Light and Ryuk popped on the screen.


After 3 hours of Death Note we stopped and ran downstairs. My Mom and Dad where dressed up for the gathering they were going to. Mom smiled at us. Dad simply ran a hand through his ginger hair. "We'll be back around 10, Orchid and her family are coming over to watch you 3." Mom said. "Ok." I said smiling.


My Dad suddenly stiffened up. "Honey." Dad said. "What?" My Mom asked. "Rogues." Dad said. Horror, anger and fear passed through my Mom's eyes. "Ryne, Enyr get Isabella into the attic, stay in there, don't come down, I don't care what you hear." Mom demanded. Ryne nodded.


Mom turned around and started gathering weapons. Ryne grabbed my hand and started pulling me up the stairs. Enyr was right behind me. Suddenly the door broke in. I heard snarls and laughing. "Ready to die Clara? A deep male voice asked. My breath hitched in my throat.


Ryne grabbed the string to the attic and opened the stairs. Ryne motioned us up. I ran up and into the attic, Enyr right behind me. Ryne ran up really fast then he shut the door. Ryne grabbed my hand and ran to a corner with a cross. He pushed me into a small crack. Enyr slipped in beside me. Ryne stood in front of me.


I slid right into Enyr. He did not hesitate to wrap his arms around me. I could hear snarling and gunshots. I turned my head into Enyr's chest crying. His arms were wrapped around me securely. Ryne had a small pistol in his hand and three knives.


Ryne handed us each a knife. "If something attacks stab it, don't hesitate." Ryne said. "I won't let you!" My Mom yelled from bellow. I clutched my knife tightly. I heard a scream, it was a males. "No Joseph!" My breath hitched in my throat. My Dad was dead. Then there was a female. "You died fighting Clara." The male voice said. Both my parents were dead.


Ryne pushed us behind him. It was hard to believe only a minute ago we were watching anime. Now we might die. "I won't let you two die." Ryne said. "But you can't leave me." I said. "If its what I have to do to protect you." Ryne said loading bullets in the pistol then cocking it back. "I'd die for you." Ryne said to us.


Suddenly there were bangs on the attic door. I felt a few tears run down my face. Ryne cocked the gun back. "No one is touching my little sister." Ryne said. The door to the attic busted open. Guys started coming into the attic.


Ryne aimed the pistol and started shooting. Enyr had his hand on my shoulder. "Ryne will kill them." Enyr said. "Stay away from my sister!" Ryne yelled. More shots echoed the attic. "You remind me of your Mother." The same male voice said. "But your gonna perish in a different way." He said.


I looked out at the guy. His hair was a auburn red. A sick smile was on his face. His eyes were brown. Ryne was clutching the gun even tighter. The guys threw himself then he turned into a huge wolf. The wolf collided with Ryne. I heard Ryne scream as the wolf sunk its teeth into his neck.


The wolf threw him across the room. The rest of the people shifted to. "Find her." The last one said before he shifted. Enyr looked horrible. He pushed me behind. "Don't get out." Enyr said. Leaning forward he hugged me tight. "Go to Orchid and tell her rogues." Enyr said.


Enyr slid out with the knife and ran at a few. "Stupid fucking rogues." Enyr muttered stabbing one in the neck. That's when he lost his cool. "You killed my twin brother!" Enyr yelled. He dug the dagger into the wolf's heart and kicked him. Wolves started biting at him.


Enyr was fighting with all his might. The same wolf went for his neck sinking his teeth in again. Throwing him Enyr landed right beside Ryne. I was crying a lot now. My parents were dead and now my older brothers. I was alone.


Something sharp grabbed my leg and dragged me out. I was screaming now. Looking down I saw the same wolf. Raising my knife I slammed it across the wolfs face. Steam started rising from his face. The grip on my leg got tighter and I knew he was gonna break it. There was a solid crack as my leg broke. I raised my other leg and kicked it in the head.


I started scooting back and hit the wall behind the cross. In my arms was a plush toy from Ryne and Enyr which was Harley Quinn. Just as it was about to finish me, a large howl echoed from outside.


Except this howl wasn't a wolf howl. I don't know what it was but I wanted to hug it. It saved me. Fear started crossing their faces. The red wolf looked at me and snarled then they ran out.


I held the plush and knife tightly. I looked at my dead brothers and started wiping tears. I looked at the stick beside me and grabbed it. I walked towards my brothers and dropped down. I knew they were dead. I looked at Ryne's necklace and Enyr's ring. I grabbed both of them and slipped them on. The necklace was a yellow stone surrounding a black onyx. The ring was made of wood that was smooth and soft. In the middle was a amethyst.


Grabbing the stick I stood up and limped over to the door. It took awhile but I was finally outside and limping my way to Orchid's.


-Flashback ends-


"Yeah so I limped to Orchid's and that's how I ended up here today." I said. Dalton nodded. He looked like he was about to cry. "I'm so sorry." Dalton said. "Its not your fault." I said. "I don't know what I'd do if my brothers died." Dalton said. "It's hell." I said.


Dalton nodded. "Well I should be going home, Nico told me to tell you he's picking you up from your house and you guys are working at your house." Dalton said. I nodded. "By the way, Alana is going to ask a lot tomorrow." Dalton said. Then Dalton walked out.


Orchid walked out with a smirk. "You like him." Orchid muttered. I grabbed my spoon and sipped the soup. "I don't know what your talking about." I said. "Yeah right." Orchid said sitting down next to me. I looked at Orchid.


"These rogues aren't normal wolves, there faster, stronger and have red pupils." I said. "I noticed." Orchid murmured. I have to tell her. Orchid might have an answer. "I think I saw a hellhound that day." I said. The bowl in Orchid's hand shattered.


Yup. I feel accomplished. I wrote another chapter. That's what happened to Isabella's family. It makes me want to cry. I might of almost cried just writing it. The song makes it worse.
