Middelton 1958

James was anxious.

Everytime when his brother has a idea. Then later they will get into trouble.

When Slim came up with the idea to go into the attic, he couldn't say "no" to him.

And why couldn't he say "no"? Because he was so curious. Sure, they mother doesn't like the idea of them going into the attic and at the end she would find them here. But well fortunately …he was the younger brother. He could always blame his brother for his own actions…

"How long do you plan to stay there and stare into space???", said his brother as he turned around to him. "Are you still scared about us getting caught??? Man your such a Squirt!"

"Don't call me that!!! And you know that mom doesn't like the fact that we're staying in the attic!", James answered his brother.

Slim just rolled his eyebrows." I didn't force you, SQUIRT!"

Slim practically screamed at his brother. " Now come here! Maybe we find something interesting!"

James didn't like that his brother always calls him a "Squirt".

He walked to the other side of the room to help his brother.

Suddenly, he notices an old painting on the old bedside table of grandpa Carl.

It was a painting of two toddlers. A blond boy who sits next to an auburn haired girl.

The girl wears a long-sleeve red dress which fits perfect on her.

//Okay I guess the painting is a fake or the girl is wearing a corset, James thought.

She also wears a plain gold necklace, but James was sure that it was really expensive.

The blond boy next to her wears a sailor suit and shows a goofy grin into the camera.

//This painting must be really old. I never heard of the two and the big fireplace in the background… they really must be rich, James thought.

"Squirt what are you doing again???", Slim asked his brother as he turned around and saw his brother staring at the old painting.

"Wow this looks kinda coooool!!!", Slim now stared at the painting ,too.

" Do you know who this is?", Slim asked his little brother.

"Noooo, but…"

Before James could say anything he was turned around and stared right into the face of his mother.

"What did I tell you about the attic???", said Nana Possible to her two little sons.

"IT WAS HIS IDEA!!!", Slim said while pointing at James.

"WHAT??!! No mom it was his idea not my…it was his…really REALLY!!", said a shocked James to his mother.

"You know, I guess it was the idea of both of you!", Nana said with a small smile on her face, but it vanished just one moment after she saw the painting the boys were looking at.

"Sooo I guess you found the painting…", Nana said with a steady voice.

She wasn't smiling but also wasn't angry with them and this was kinda new to both of them.

"Yeah ehhmm…we were just some searching and found the old painting and it really looks interesting and. and…", Slim didn't know what to say anymore he was to nervous to talk to his mother now.

Nana closed her eyes.

//And I thought that I tell them the story when they're seventeen…

Okay then maybe I should scare these two so much. That they never go into the attic again without my permission or even with my permission.

When Nana opened her eyes, she looked at her two lovely sons and smiled at them.

"Ok I guess it's time to tell you the story of this painting!"

"A story?!", James and Slim said simultaneous.

"Yeah, a story", Nana smiled at them.

They sat down on the floor of the attic as Nana began telling them the story.

"It was in a stormy December Night in Middelton….

Flashback:

Middelton 1928: in a half-timbered house

He is happy.

He has a badical fiancée, has enough money and right now the cutest girl on the planet sits on his lap.

"So I guess it's time for you to go to bed", he said to the toddler sitting on his lap.

" But I don't want to!", she said while shaking her head.

" It's already dark outside, Nana"

"But I can't because mom forgot Mr. Puddles at home.

Maybe you…could run to my parents home…and… bring it to me", Nana said to the young man in front of her. Nanas bottom lip started to tremble and her eyes became big as saucer.

"Oh not the Puppy dog pout, why do you always do that??? Why does every GIRL do this in this house???!!"

"What do you mean with that, Ronnie?", said a woman with auburn hair. She wears a white dress and walks straight to the blond man.

"Ohhh nothing, nothing at all", he said with a sheepish smile while getting a little peck on the cheek.

"Sis…mom forgot Commodore Puddles again", Nana said to the woman.

"Again?", the woman answers in disbelieve.

That's the third time in a month that here mother forgot Commodore Puddles. The favorite stuffed animal of her little sister. Everytime when her parents had no time for Nana she and her soon to be husband take care of her. She didn't mind thought, because she loves her little sister and after the marriage, she and her Ron would have many children..

"So I guess it's time for me to run down the street to your house and get your Commodore Puddles", Ron said while putting Nana on the sofa near the loving seat where he sat.

"You are sooooo cooool uncle Ron!!!", Nana said while smiling at him. " Daddy would never do something like that…"Nana looked sadly to the ground.

"Nana don't be so", the woman said to her. "You know dad, he works a lot"

"Yeah but…"

"Yeah Yeah, but but…never mind", Ron said while putting on his black coat and grabbing his homburg.

"so I guess it's time for me to go", Ron smiled to the two girl. He gave the girl a little hug and the woman a peck on the lips. "I love you two". After that he walks out of the living room and both girls could hear the closing of the front door.

Nanas was mesmerize. Most children's would scream something stupid like "cooties"

but she as a girl still waits for her little prince charming coming riding on a horse.

She was happy that her sister had found someone, but she also had a little crush on Ron herself.

"Sis…Do you thing that I will found someone who loves me so much, like uncle Ron loves you?", Nana asked her big sister.

She was a bit taking aback by that question, Nana could see that on the look on her face.

But soon she smiled, "Nana, I'm sure that someday you will find someone who loves you with all his heart, someone who would die for, someone where you feel save".

"Do you really thing there's a guy out there for me???"

"Oh yeah…maybe somewhere out there or maybe already in here". The woman pointed at Nanas heart while saying this." Ron told me that you have a crush on this new boy in town".

Nana started to blush, "What?! ME?!?! NO NO NO!!!!"

"...and I thought he keep it as a secret….", Nana murmured under her breath.

"..ha ha ha". The woman laughs. " He didn't tell me!"

Nana´s red face was turning pink now. "But don't tell mommy".

"No I wouldn't, sweetie", The woman smiled at her. " You know I'm so happy for you!

Maybe he's the one who would do everything for you Nana"

" Like Ron does for you"

"Yeah Nana like Ron does for me. I love him so much I don't know what I should do without him in my life," Nana could already see the love in her eyes.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

" Oh that's must be Ron", she smiled at Nana

The woman walks out of the living room.

She heard her sister saying something like "what happened" and "Ron", but she couldn't hear it clear enough, because it was more than a faint whisper instead of a clear conversation.

Nana was curious, like every child would be. So she slowly and carefully walks to the door and opened it a bit. What she saw shocked her.

Blood.

Blood.

Everywhere was Blood.

She heard her whisper the name "Ron"

She saw the big teeth of her uncle buried in the neck of her sister.

Blood

Everywhere was Blood.

The green eyes of her sister showed no fear. They were wide open but they showed no fear.

Because she knew, who the person was, drinking all her blood.

"Ron don't " She begged him.

You could already tell that she wasn't much by her senses anymore.

The blood was everywhere. On her sisters dress and the whole floor was full of it.

The mans eyes weren't chocolate brown anymore. They were dark. They were dark and cold like he never felt any happiness.

He just hold her in his arms. She doesn't even fight. She just lay in his arms.

It was too much for Nana. She was scared. She was so scared. Tears were running down her checks and her hands started trembling. She just wanted to run. But she couldn't because she was in such a shock that she just couldn't.

The woman said something to the man what she couldn't understand and finally he let go of her. He hold her in his arms and his eyes came back to normal. There it was the chocolate brown what she missed so.

He saw the blood and wanted to scream. He looked into the woman's eyes begging her for staying alive, not to die. He said he can't live without her.

But she just looked him in the face, gave him a last smiled and said clear and loud " I love you. Don't you ever forget that"

He screamed. Because of the pain. He killed her. The only woman he ever loved. Nana heard him screaming her name again and again…….

"K.P………………k.p……………"

Than he heard that someone whimpers. He turned and saw the fear in Nanas face.

He tried to get to her but she just sopped more and more. He scared her. He. The nice uncle.

He scared her.

Then he disappeared. Leaving Nana alone in a room with her sister and a bloodshot Commodore Puddles.

End of Flashback:

Her boys were already running out of the attic.

Nana turned around to the painting looking on last time to the girl.

" I swear I'm going to find him and then he's going to pay."

Before she left, she looked one last time to the boy in the painting.

Then the light turns off.
