PART ONE
The Undertaker watched in a black basin of water as Alexander Blackheart tried to resist his sister. His acid green eyes narrowed with vicious delight, loving the expression of torment and anguish on Alex's face.
This was going better then he had expected. He had at first had reservations about unleashing the Boogeyman though now any doubts had been erased. Things were going swimmingly.
Alex would die by his beloved twin's hand. His annoying cousin, Ember, would soon be nothing more then a memory. Jeff would probably die from his heart beating to fast, it was sure to explode any second now. Matt… he'd be stuck as a werewolf and some overzealous hunter was sure to kill him. And as for Ashley, the Undertaker's very own sister-in-law,
well, it looked like he would soon be welcoming a nephew to the fold.
Yes, everything was unfolding perfectly.
**********
"MOVE YOUR ASS!" Alex shouted at Jeff as he was scrambled to his feet, Alexandra had apparently tired of laying passive and had tossed him away from her.
Jeff shook his head, refusing to move, instead drawing his knees up to his chin, burying his face in them, shaking like a leaf.
Alex was more then a little frustrated to say the least, but then again, he had his own problems to deal with. Such as his sister trying to kill him, or turn him, same difference.
**********
Ember stared at where her hand used to be, finally realizing what her greatest fear was. Too not exist. "Oh Isis." She murmured, raising her other hand, though she didn't see it.
Matt's great yellow eyes blinked, staring at her. "What do I do?" He growled, drool running out the corner of his mouth.
"Get Alex…" She whispered, unable to tear her own eyes away from her rapidly disappearing arms.
**********
"Alex, come on, just give it up already!" Alexandra snarled, no longer amused with her brother's defiance. "You're going to mortally die one way or the other, why not join me?"
"I prefer my mortality thanks."
Snarling, she lunged for him, taking him off-guard and sank her fangs in his throat.
Alex reeled backwards, feeling her draining his blood. "Alexa, no…" He whispered harshly.
She ignored him, suckling at his throat.
He did the only thing he could think of. Alex placed his hands on either side of his sister's head and twisted, flinching at the resounding CRACK.
Alexandra let him go, dropping to the floor. She wasn't down for the count, her eyes were fluttering rapidly, trying to focus.
"I'm sorry." He whispered, retrieving his Beretta and dropping to his knees besides her. "I love you, Alexa."
**********
Matt lumbered into the living room to find Alexander kneeling besides a pile of ashes, smoking a cigarette, looking paler then normal but other than that none too worse for wear.
Jeff was still whimpering and rocking himself in a corner.
"Jeff…" Matt growled out, taking a step towards his brother.
Jeff raised his timid green eyes up and let out an ear piercing shriek.
"I have had ENOUGH of that, thank you very fucking much!" Alex snarled, getting to his feet and crossing the room, cracking Jeff over the head with the butt of his gun. "Matt?"
Matt nodded his shaggy head, waiting for Alex to pull the trigger on him.
"I know I said we needed to harness your abilities but this is ridiculous. Where's the girls?"
"Outside."
"That's great. We have a Demon lurking around and you left them unprotected? What the fuck is wrong with you?" Alex snapped, already heading outside.
Matt followed, his razor sharp toenails clicking on the wooden floor. "Ember sent me for you."
"What happened?"
Matt didn't say anything, knowing words weren't exactly going to cover this.
Alexander walk in annoyance, halting when he seen his cousin standing outside of her workshop, or at least, seen part of her.
Ember was a floating torso, she had no arms or legs and it looked like her waist was fixing to go next. "What the Hell?"
"Alex, you have to kill the Boogeyman!" Ember said, panic lacing her tone. "It's the only way to reverse this. If I fade away entirely, I'm gone. If Ashley gives birth, it's here to stay. You HAVE to end this before it all becomes permanent."
"How? How am I supposed to kill this thing?" Alex demanded, not showing his surprise at hearing Ashley was about ready to pop a kid.
"I don't know…" Ember admitted, looking down at herself, groaning when she seen she had disappeared right up to her naval. "Find a way."
Alex sighed heavily, flicking his cigarette aside and pointing a fixed look at Matt. "Protect them, think you can handle that fuzzy?"
Matt nodded, baring his teeth.
"Good. Anything happens to either of them-" Alex smiled grimly, revealing his own pearly whites. "And I'm going to shoot you with a silver fucking bullet."
**********
The Boogeyman was in the house, ignoring the wards on the walls. They were invisible to the naked eye but he could see them just fine, silver and golden glyphs, painted in a beautiful script, meant to keep all things harmful away.
Not that it was doing any good.
Worms dangling from his gaping mouth, the Boogeyman made his way into a room, his movements even more erratic as he scented fear, the smell exciting him.
**********
Alex was waiting, smoking another cigarette, leaning against the wall. His black eyes narrowed when he seen this Demon. The thing was straight out of a horror movie. He actually flinched when it spun around on one foot, big eyes meeting his.
The Boogeyman cocked his head to the side, chewing on the worms almost thoughtfully.
"I guess this is the part where you try to kill me and vice versa." Alex sighed, polishing the end of his Beretta on his jeans. "Let's dance creepy."
**********
"Hell… she's going into labor." Ember whispered, sounding faint. She was nothing more then a floating head with shoulders. She stared down at the still unconscious Ashley, who's stomach was rippling with contractions.
"What do we do?" Matt asked, scratching his chest with one long claw.
"I don't know… what can I do? I have no hands or feet, remember?"
Before Matt could say anything, Jeff came flying out of the house, holding his head.
Jeff skidded to a stop in front of them, his eyes wide. "Em?"
"What's left of me."
"Holy shit! How do I fix this?" Jeff wasn't even paying attention to Matt, though he was leaning against his furry brother.
"You can't. But you have to help Ashley, she's having a baby."
"I didn't even know she was preggers." Jeff blinked.
"Moron." Matt rumbled, rolling his yellow eyes.
Jeff ignored that too, stepping past the disembodied Ember to look into the workshop, groaning when he seen Ashley. "I don't know anything about birthing babies!"
"Just catch. If it has any… deformities, holler."
"Oh… there's going to be plenty of hollering."
