Yay! I got a new idea for a story! It might be bad so I'm warning you now.
Caution: Reading this story might damage your brain cells! I'm a horrible writer…so I'm a little hesitant to post this story. I really want to write a horror story, so I'm trying. I'm just hoping it would not turn out like a disaster like my other story…Oh, and this story might contain excessive cheesiness! (Because I can't write.)
Disclaimer: I do not own the 39 clues. But, I do own my plot! :D
The Year of 1807
Four Vespers kids were running around playing tag around a giant mansion.
"Gotcha!" a 10- year old boy named Eric called as he tagged his sister.
"No, I'm on base!" cried 6-year old Lexi.
"Hey Drake, How about me?" yelled 8-year Zach.
"No! Try to get me!" 4-year old Belle called.
Eric stopped running and moved his hands in a T-shape. "Okay, times out. I'm tired."
Groans came from his siblings. Eric began to start a new game of hide-and-seek until he heard a commotion coming from the kitchen.
"Follow me," called Eric to his siblings. He was curious to see what happened. Eric peeked through the kitchen door and saw his parents talking to a person on the phone.
"So, they didn't have the ring—,
"I know it's important. The Cahills ruined everything and –,"
"Are they talking about the Cahills again?" asked Belle.
"Yes," replied Eric. "I think they're talking about Damien's ring."
"They failed. Our relatives failed. Do you think they're passing the duty to mom and dad?" Zach whispered.
"Maybe— this is important." Eric whispered back. "One day…it will be our job."
The Year of 1810 (Three years later)
Belle was trying not to cry. She was holding her older sister Lexi's hand and a bouquet of flowers. Today was a sad day.
My mommy and daddy died today. She thought. Why? They didn't do anything!
However Belle did know the real reason. Her mom and dad failed to retrieve the Damien's ring. They spread rumors to Cahills about having secret documents. The Cahills of course fell for it and came to their house but, they wouldn't hand over the ring. The Madrigals who came didn't even wear the ring.
And mommy and daddy kill them. Belle thought. She knew it was her job to hate the Cahills but, she couldn't help wondering that the Cahills haven't done anything wrong. Belle wished the world would become a nice, non-violent place…but that will never happen.
They next day, the Vespers came to their mansion. They were furious.
And scary…The Vespers saw that her parents didn't get the ring after three years…and they killed them.
Why would my own relatives kill my parents? Belle thought despairingly.
Her relatives also didn't provide a funeral. They left her parents in the living room, leaving her siblings to care.
The screams, the crying...I never felt so lonely.
Tonight, is the small family own sad private funeral. Belle gripped Lexi's hand harder. A tear rolled down Lexi's cheek. Eric and Zach hauled the tombs in the pit, which they dug.
After that, the family slowly went into their mansion in silence.
"What now?" Lexi asked in a pained voice.
"Do you think we'll get the job of trying to get the ring?" asked Zach.
Eric shook his head. "I don't think so, after what our parents had done."
"Ummm," murmured Lexi. "We should honor them. I love my mom and dad."
"You're right," said Eric. "Let's make a vow. The Vespers would not approve of us trying to retrieve the ring but, it's our honor for our parents. And…we would not rest until we accomplished."
He spoke so loud and determined that it scared Belle.
"Now who's with me?"
"Yeah!" yelled her siblings. Belle hesitated. She wanted her parents to be proud but, what's so special about a ring? She thought her siblings were exaggerating about not resting until they find the ring.
Stop! Pull yourself together! You are a Vesper and you don't give up. And were you scared? Don't be! Belle silently yelled.
Her siblings were looking at her expectantly.
"Well?" Zach said.
Belle forced a smile. "Yeah, I'm in."
The Year of 1811 (One year later)
They children were shot in their basement by the Vespers a year later. Eventually, the Vespers found out they were trying to get the ring by luring Cahills to their territory. It wasn't their job and the kids paid a rough price. Their blood still stains the basement and their sprits still roam around the mansion. As they vowed, the children would never rest until they have that ring.
TA DA! Here's the prologue! Do you think it's good? I hope it's not horrible and I'm sorry if you don't get it. I want to make this story so scary that it will give you nightmares. Mwahahaha! I'm evil. (Just kidding!)If you have any scary ideas please tell me because I don't watch a lot of horror movies. (They scare me.) I tried to make the Vespers mean but, I made Belle a nice Vesper. (If there ever such a thing…) Sorry if there are grammar mistakes and I might post a chapter soon. Please review and Constructive Criticism is welcomed!
