The key that leads to Scream City!

"Dad, why are we always running?" a little boy with pale skin and glowing red eyes asked me. Another slightly taller than him nodded at the question. Already growing tired of sitting around here in the small cabin.

Running away from death.

"Because I feel like we should all see the world!" I said to him, trying my best to not look nervous at all. Within seconds both frowns turned into a wide smiles, all signs of worry leaving them.

Smooth as always, good job Vantas.

My sons along with the rest of my beloved family, have been cursed. I have to protect them, our last name which was once the most noblest of all names. Is now down in the dirt, buried under ground, to fucking die.

I need to protect them, so we have to run. All thanks to that fucking bitch, she is the reason why we look like mutants. Why our name was brought to shame.

If your eyes are to ever have to misfortune to land on us, you will know right off the skull that these two boy are in fact my sons.

We all have snowy white hair, pale skin, and red eyes. Don't be fooled by our appearances though, just because that bitch placed a fucking curse on us, doesn't mean we can't fight for ourselves.

We are currently located in a cabin, somewhere far off into the woods. Like I said we are hiding, and the people that are supposedly looking for us are lazy fucking asswipes.

Your majesty you must be one dumb bitch to kill off our bloodline.

Her imperial Condescension, is the one looking for us. I was one of her most loyal guards. Fuck I was so comfy with her, I would discreetly flirt with her. Unfortunately, someone had spread a rumor about me trying to start a revolution behind the Condescension back.

It is true, I'm not going to lie, but for fucks sake! CAN ANY OF THESE ASSHOLES KEEP THEIR FUCKING MOUTHS SHUT. Or better yet, instead of telling some random asshole about the revolution, make sure they aren't a FUCKING SPY.

I let out an angry sigh, and look around the cabin.

The cabin is rather big, and is located far off into the distant area of the woods. The front door has a magic lock on it, and the window is covered with a thick black curtain. Once you walk in to the cabin, inside it will look normal, with the couch on the right wall and a few carpets on the floor, along with a nice cozy fireplace.

I did say there was a magic lock right? The magic lock leads to a different world, one where our children will be able to live a happy life, they will be safer on that side then here. It inly opens with a skeleton key, I'm not sure who made it, but I was given two as a child. Dolorosa and I have only have access to the lock, only holding the two main keys. Kanaya and her older sister Porrim have been with us for a long time, her mother has taken care of me when I was a small child.

On the 'other side' it leads to a big house, Dolorosa and I built it out of magic. Dolorosa, of course, has designed the interior of the house. It looks really nice, only a Mariam would think it isn't as good as the other one thinks.

Dolorosa is, well a vampire, and her two daughters, Porrim and Kanaya are to be kept out of sight from the villages, they seem to have a thing for killing vampires. They are still young, Dolorosa has a lot things to teach those two before they become fully mature. While my sons, are being hunted by over grown psychotic, steroid pumped, Juggalo's.

There is a reason why we have this curse. White hair, with red eyes, and pale skin, you see the Juggalo's are fucking stupid when it comes to killing, as long as they kill something they're happy. Her Imperialist, wanted us to stand out in the most oblivious of ways. So with a whirl of her fucking fork, everyone with the last name and bloodline in the Vantas family is now fucking cursed.

Karkat, thankfully, was still a baby. So the change didn't hurt him that much, not as much as Kankri and I. Kankri was only 5 when it happened, and I was 30. Kankri couldn't move, I thought he was paralyzed for a while, until he got up on two feet and fought back some tears whispering, "I'm alright."

Kankri, loves to talk and Karkat seems to hate to listen to him, the girls have become their best friends, and just like Dolorosa was with me, I know they will protect them.

The cabin holds my weapons, a pair of sickles, and Dolorosa I think she hides hers. She carries a chainsaw, which does frighten me at times. Not as much as when she raises her hand to slap me for being crude.

The boys and I, are sitting on the couch in front of the fire. Dolorosa and her girls are somewhere down the hall, in one of the many rooms. I made them hot chocolate, they are rather cold, and I must keep them in the best health. For if the Sub-juggulators come they will be ready to run.

"Hey dad…" Karkat's voice sounded distant, and really soft, hopefully he isn't sick. I hummed in response, "Why is the skull thingy blinking?" I looked over and time slowed, my heart stopped.

As he finished her sentence, a loud scream came from the security skull. The main purpose of it was, so it can alert us if an intruder comes by.

And how close the intruder is, the louder the skull gets.

Fear enveloped me, and my heart seemed to have stopped. I grabbed Kankri and Karkat, and ran to the back, their hot coffee spilling on the floor. Just as Dolorosa was heading to the living area, a loud crash came from the front door.

Fuck

I quickly handed them to Dolorosa, "Dolo! You know what to do, take them to the other world!" I told her, Dolorosa's face showed pure fear, and agony, "No!" she told me, I shoved her down the hall to the last room of the hallway, if we weren't about to be killed she would have already kicked my ass. I opened the door and removed the rug hiding the secret outage, I got down on my knees and hurriedly brought the key to the lock and with a click it opened. "Dad?" came the soft reply from Karkat, I think he might be sick.

'No time for that dipshit!' I thought.

I looked into both of my sons eyes and smiled, I quickly brought up floor board. "Whose first?" I asked, a feeling of courage went through me.

Porrim and Kanaya stepped first, holding each other's hands, they jumped down the passage with a squeal of joy.

Kankri looked terrified, and Karkat looked well scared. Dolorosa won't put them down, already in her protective mother stance. I hugged both of them, as they started to cry, "Kankri, take care of Karkat, you need to teach him to be brave and strong, Karkat listen to Kankri." I told them. I gave Dolorosa a peck on the cheek, I then heard loud stomping throughout the cabinet "the weapons are there, I trust you mom. You never let me down, and I'm glad to have you here, thank you."

I then went over to the wall and knocked on the wall, a piece of wood moved up and I grabbed my sickles.

Damn I'm going to his this house. "Love you boys, Dolo look out for a man that goes by the name 'Crabdad'." And with that she jumped down the dark passage, before the floor board closed I quickly threw my key down there.

I hear a honk, and got ready to fight, the door then flew off the wall by a strong force known as the Grand Highblood.

He gave me a sadistic grin, who knew your best friend could ever betray you? Well, I guess I did some betraying too.

"Hey MOTHERFUCKER." God why does he always have to yell. I glared at him, he always did love to fight me. Now he has to chance to take it further, I smile at him and he only growls.

"Hey brother, you got some balls to be STEPPING UP AGAINST THE HIGHEST MOTHERFUCKER HERE." He told me, this is only a trick. I'm already used to his stupid intimidation tactics.

I shook my head a small smile on my lips, "what are you SMILING ABOUT MOTHERFUCKER?" he's annoyed now.

"Nothing really, just how long it takes you to realize this is only an illusion." I told him, and I know I'm fucking with the wrong guy here, might as well have some fun.

He frowned, at me. He then raised his club and swung fast at me, I quickly dodged his attack. His sadistic grin came back onto his features, "Ain't no illusion here, brother, ONLY A OTHERFUCKING LIAR."

I stepped away from one of his attacks a bit too slow. He struck me in my right side, I think he might have hit a rib or two.

I looked down at the floor board, I have to fight.

For my life.

For my name.

But most importantly for my boys.

The Vantas family has always been good at keeping secrets, the skeleton key being one of our top secrets. I only hope my boys aren't stupid when they're older and don't misuse the key.

I took in a deep breath, getting ready for Grand's next attack.

For my boys.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh god why? Ugh I do not know, maybe because I was watching Halloween town idk! Yeah, you guys anyways tell if you like it, hate it. I don't know give me some sign please. Anyways goodnight!
