It was another gloomy day in Clamburg. It wasn't just any day though, it was a school day and Vendetta of course didnt' buy any school supplies or carry a backpack to school, she would bring herself and her giant hamster bodyguard. Vendetta went downstairs as her mother, Violetta was with her younger brother, putting a Chartreuse suit and tie on him and handing him a mossy green lunchbox.
This boy was five-years-old and unknown to the people of Clamburg until today that is. This was Vendetta's younger brother, Verdinand.
"Mother, I'm on my way to school now," Vendetta said with her hands on her hips.
"Of course, little lovely." Violetta quickly brushed Vendetta's brunette pigtails down. "Don't wanna look sloppy on your first day."
"Good point, Mother," Vendetta said, putting a finger to her mouth. "The others may not fear me if I look sloppy rather than intimidating." She then looked down at the five-year-old boy. She smirked and took out a hand. "Come here, little brother."
Verdinand made a sound between a noise and a hiccup, and stepped the opposite direction.
Vendetta frowned at him. "Come here," she repeated, not sounding friendly toward him anymore.
Verdinand didn't speak, he hid behind the mother and shook with fear.
"Oh, I need to give you some milk money, sweetie." Violetta left the children alone.
Vendetta growled and walked toward Verdinand. She grabbed his tie and forced him up to make them be face-to-face. "Listen, little brother, I may have promised Mother I'd be gentle with you and show you around school, but let me tell you. They will eat you alive if you make one mistake! You need to be tough like me! Show those other school kids what you are made of! You are Verdinand Grinch, son of Violetta and Viktor Grinch and younger brother of Vendetta Grinch! Do not disappoint me and we shall rule this putrid town together as brother and sister!"
"I-I-I won't d-d-disappoint you, V-V-Vendetta..." Verdinand said in a shaky voice.
"This would be so much simplier if I had a younger sister instead of a stupid, smelly younger brother!" Vendetta dropped him down hard on the floor. "HAMSTER!" Vendetta bellowed.
Inside came Vendetta's hamster who Violetta, Viktor and Verdinand called Grudge, but Vendetta only called him Hamster. He was much larger than a normal hamster and appeared to be six feet tall.
"Ah, hamster, my true friend and loyal fiend." Vendetta smiled up at him. She then turned to Verdinand. "When I was your age, Hamster was just a normal hamster, and now look at him! Perhaps someday Mother and Father will get you a pet to mutate!"
"V-V-Vendetta, do you hate me?" Verdinand asked as he fiddled with his tie.
"Hate you?" Vendetta turned to him. "You are my little brother, sure I loathe you, but I don't despise you as much as I hate the other people of Clamburg. You are my family!"
"Wow..." Verdinand had a small smile.
"However, if you tell any of your Kindergarten minions about me being soft with you, I shall be unpleasent!" Vendetta growled at him.
Verdinand clamped his hands over his mouth and gulped.
"Here we are, milk money." Violetta handed Verdinand some money. "Have a good day you two, Vendetta, be a dear and take your brother to school?"
"Very well, Mother. Come along, Hamster." Vendetta took Verdinand's hand, squeezed it and dragged him out the house. "Do you know your stupid teacher's name, Verdinand?"
"I think Mother said her name was Mrs. Minty," Verdinand thought about it. "Yeah, Mrs. Minty."
"Well you must overpower her." Vendetta instructed. "Don't take any sass from the teacher, be in charge, and don't let anyone bully you! My little brother will not bring disgrace to my family name once I take over Clamburg!"
"Yes Vendetta..." Verdinand said in a shaky voice.
They finally made it to Clamburg Kindergarten. Vendetta looked for Mrs. Minty's door, spotted it and threw Verdinand against the door. "Now go and make me a proud big sister! I will check on you for lunch." Vendetta ordered as she left with Grudge.
"For Vendetta..." Verdinand said to himself, took a deep breath and knocked on the door to the classroom of Mrs. Minty.
