Ok so this is a fic about one of my OCs Rose Lunare Pace, she is Lucy's older sister. Yes she is the Priest's daughter too. Ok so since the movie didn't name them I came up with names for the unnamed people, which will be mentioned later. Anyhoo enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Priest! If I did Black Hat would have totally won that fight!
I stood in front of the mirror weaving a rose into my hair. It was a special occasion; father had just finished checking the contamination levels in the soil around our ranch. It was much lower than last year, with any luck we would be able to start planting soon. I heard the door open and stepped out of my room to see my little sister Lucy walk in.
"Where were you? You're wearing your nicest dress."
"I was in town." She said stepping past me into the room. She looked into the mirror and fixed the buttons on her dress. I leaned close to her and whispered.
"You were with Hicks again weren't you?"
"Shhh!" she hissed. I gave her an exasperated look.
"Lucy, you promised me…"
"I know, I know, don't worry we didn't do anything." I rolled my eyes in Suuuuuure way. Lucy rolled hers too and smiled fixing her hair. My little sister was obsessed with looking pretty, ever since she'd met Hicks, or rather, ever since I'd introduced them. Biggest mistake of my life. I swore if he hurt her I'd…
"Pershing stew again?" Lucy had walked over to the table where mother and father were sitting.
"I thought I said I didn't want you goin' out that way." Father said as we sat down.
"I'm old enough to go where I want." Lucy said glaring at him.
"Your only 18, that's not old enough, not out here," he shook his head. "I know it's hard, but we all have to make sacrifices."
"Sacrifices!" Lucy almost shouts leaning forward, "you mean living out here like a prisoner? No friends? No fun? Just so that one day you might be able to grow something in these god-forsaken lands?"
"Enough," Mother said sternly. "Lucy don't exaggerate you're not completely alone, you have your sister, or have you forgotten about Rose?" Lucy looked at me.
"Sorry Rose, I didn't mean to make it sound like I don't…"
"Its alright." I said smiling at her. Lucy and I were two years apart, we always hung out together and told each other all our secrets, so I wasn't offended.
"Good," Mother nodded. "Now bow your heads and say grace." Mother took father's and Lucy's hands. I took their other hands. I closed my eyes.
"Dear lord, we than you for what we are about to receive…" Suddenly the ground began to shake. We all looked up, Lucy squeezed my hand.
"Daddy…" she sounded scarred.
"Shh…" father got up quickly running over to the window.
"Owen!" mother shouted.
"Get them down below!" he shouted back.
"What's going on?" Lucy was practically crushing my fingers. I pulled her to her feet and mother pushed the table aside. Father ran around the house locking all the door and windows. I suddenly knew what was going on and I pulled Lucy close protectively. Father grabbed his gun. Mother opened the trapped door underneath the carpet and called to us.
"Hurry my dears!" I reached out and took her outstretched hands pulling Lucy with me. Mother ushered us down into the cellar. I could hear scrapping and snarling coming from outside the house. Mother grabbed the handles of the trap door.
"Whatever you hear," tears were forming in her eyes. "Don't scream." She shut it leaving us in darkness. Lucy clung to me; I held her close trying not to cry. Her body shook and tears streamed down her face. I wanted to tell it was going to be ok but I was afraid to speak. We both jerked as a crashing sound shook the floorboards. The snarling and scratching became louder as they came rushing in. Lucy shook putting her hands over her mouth. I heard father shoot and then I heard mother scream.
"Shannon!" father cried her name in agony. Suddenly there was a thud and everything was silent. Footsteps began to sound on the wooden floor above. There was a sliding noise as something was pushed off the trap door. Someone pulled the handles and opened it, light spilled onto us. I started shaking. Lucy's fingers dug painfully into my arms. The figure stepped down the stairs towards us. Suddenly all the fear that had accumulated in me came rushing out. I screamed.
