Flight of the Crane's
written by: Adventure-Seeking-Juliet
when: After watching the Legend of sleepy Hollow, and debating whether or not to begin this story.
disclaimer: I don't own LOSH, in fact I don't know who does, but since this story is based off Tim Burton's version, he owns it.( With the exception of Samuel and Rosabella Crane.) And the title of this chapter has nothing to do with the Death Note series!
A/N This is based on the movie with Jhonny Depp in it, and it is set about 17 years after the original. I'm sorry if it is awful, and whatnot, but I do hope at least one or two of you enjoy this!:)
Chapter 1-The Death Note
"Samuel, hand me my new instrument," Ichabod Crane asked his only son, Sam.
Sam made a face at the dead body, but handed his father the newly developed 'instruemt' or tool.
"What's the grossed out face for? Not sqeamish are you?" his sister Rosabella taunted him.
"No, not at all," Sam lied unconvincingly. Ichabod smiled to himself, it was the sad yet hilarious truth that Sam, though he looked exactly like his mother except for his eyes, was a bit too much like Ichabod himself. Even funnier though was the fact that it was the oppisite with Rose, who looked like him but acted incredibly like Katrina.
Rosabella smirked happily, but Sam just muttered," Why do WE have to do this anyway?"
"Beacause it is good practice for when you take over my job one day," Ichabod replied.
Rose and Sam sighed. Luckily though for the two young Crane's Katrina's voice called up to them from the main part of the house," Everyone dinner is ready!"
Sam was the first one to hurriedly exist the room, with the other two behind him.
As they arrived downstairs Ichabod found Masbeth awaiting them.
"Ah, young Masbeth how are you this fine New York day?" Ichabod inquired.
"I'm afraid I'm not too well, sir," Masbeth choked out.
"What is wrong? Rosabella asked him.
"You would not understand, Miss Crane," Masbeth answered.
Rose grumbled," I told you to call me Rosabella."
"Shush the both of you, now what is the news, Masbeth?" Ichabod said.
"I received a letter from...Sleepy Hollow," Masbeth whispered.
The whole family gasped, the elder two because of their rememberence of Sleepy Hollow, and the younger two because they had been told the stories the entire sixteen years of their life.
"Pray tell, what did it say?" Sam asked seeing as his mother and father were to stunned to speak.
"It says," Masbeth began," that they believe the horseman has returned and they request Mr. Ichabod Crane, and his family return to Sleepy Hollow to stop him."
Ichabod paled, and then collapsed to the floor in a faint.
A/N Does anyone happen to know if Masbeth has a first name?
