Hello to all of you this is the redone version of Horror at the Brownstone; as you guys see there's french words in there but to help you here's the french words translated in english:
Conneries means bullshit, malade mentale means mentally ill, visage means face; well visage can say it in english too- and not least «à eux même» means themselves.
Original creation in January 2011- which was completed the same month and year; the updated version is in June 2012. Hope you like the updated version. Oh and I do not own Class of the Titans, Brad GoodChild does (he WAS the creator of Class of the Titans!)...
Atlanta has awoken in a bad start, she had a feeling that something was right but she must be having an illusion so she continued to wake up and as she got she fell on the floor because she tripped on her covers, "Ouch!"
A knock was heard on her door as she had some fear in her eyes, has she awoken someone that early and if so she has felt guilty for waking up that person and she rubbed her behind and stumbled until her door and has opened it and saw Herry stand impatient as he tapped his foot and has raised an eyebrow as he said "You alright Atlanta, I've heard you got hurt in your room." And that made Atlanta blushed as she apologized for having waking him and once more Herry raised an eyebrow, "Why apologizing to me. I was awaking in that glorious early morning."
"For real?" asked Atlanta as she twirled her hair with a finger, her hair now reached the end of her neck. She has looked at Herry who was smirking. "You're like my brother to me… a fourth brother- still… wait did you say early not a long time ago?"
"Yes, that's what I said- were you dreaming of getting married to Archie again?" he has laughed as Atlanta had her cheeks tinted in red and slapped her face with her two hands as she muttered, "Will you shut up about this, Herry."
Then she let him in as she turned to her calendar as she suddenly felt unhappy at seeing which day it is, she has turned back to Herry as she felt like crying and sighted sadly, "Herry… you know how many years we haven't seen our families?"
"Yeah, you don't need to tell me Atlanta." Herry felt like he wanted also to cry due he misses his family so much and he quietly whispered:
"Three years of this, the last time I was I've seen my parents and little sister was when she was born, she was born nine months after Cronus has send hatred to all of us… except for Jay that is." He was rocking himself slowly as a tear trickled down his cheek and Atlanta placed a hand on his broad shoulder and she sight, "Yes and tomorrow is April 16th where it will be my eighteenth birthday but I really wanted to celebrate my first year of adult hood with my parents and three brothers."
"Hey at least you've got your boyfriend and your friends to celebrate this." This was a very nice thing to support her and yet she knows this is true, they will always be there for each other no matter what. "First of all we can invite them here… except we never had the time until now because Cronus is defeated once and for all."
"By the way which time is it?" she has asked as she yawned. Herry pointed to her clock alarm as he did a fake cough: it was 6:30am. Atlanta slapped her forehead as she mumbled as her eyelids felt heavier by any minute now and Herry has chuckled as he helped her go in bed and he has said in a teasing way, "Hope you'll dream of your boyfriend with nothing on him."
"Oh shut the hell up, I am in no mood to listen to your conneries." Then she was off to dream land which she later has awoken up at 9:00am where she saw Archie sleeping next to her as she gasped and that made him stirred and turned a little to her as he smiled, "Hi Lannie, slept well?"
She laughed as she hugged him tightly. "You bet I did, I've had the most terrific dream about you, that we slept in the same bed and that the others were'nt living with us but what was weird is that I was a little fat."
"Well that sounds interesting I have dreamed the same thing, probably Theresa doing it to us- you know drama queen and her predictions?"
"Oh shut up Arch she isn't a drama queen," laughed Atlanta as she shoved him a little and he muffled an "ouch" and Atlanta grinned. "Want to go to breakfast before the others get suspicious?"
"Why not." Then they walked in the hallway as they saw Neil jogging in the other direction to go to the bathroom as Atlanta shouted to him, "Hey Neil going to take a shower?"
"You bet girl, a guy like me needs to be cleaned." Then the couple has rolled their eyes as they went downstairs to eat.
They were listening to the sixth season of The Simpsons and the episode was named "Lisa's Wedding" as Herry has entered with a glass of orange juice and sated on the couch watching it but then the electricity went out and they have both groaned in desperation as they wanted at least finished the episode. They have heard Neil yell in anger, "What the hell has happened I'm not even done completing drying my hair."
The others groaned but Jay still remained calm as if he knew what he was planning next. "Who wants to go see what's up there?"
No one said a word as they just backed a little and Neil who has arrived with a towel wrapped around his body has strictly refused to go outside… especially if the electricity is out and Jay has scowl in frustration knowing the answer that it will be him that will go and check it out. As he grabbed his hair to make it as a ponytail (his shoulder was now passed a little his shoulders) and in annoyance crossed his arms and marched upstairs and passed four of his friends and his bedroom and was now outside where the umbrella and the chairs were but he didn't find anything weird so he just fixed the electricity cords that were in the panel, he slowly turned around to leave he has met with something he'll never forget…
The others were watching were watching the last bit of "Lisa's Wedding" until they have heard Jay falling down the stairs as they saw him trembling with fright but something was wrong he was mumbling in a sort of language that none of them knew and Theresa placed an reassured hand on his shoulder, "Jay what have you seen for crises sake and stop talking like an alien- what have you seen?"
He didn't response as continued to go crazy and talk alien as a vision was hit and she fell backwards which Herry caught her in time with those wide-eyed eyes. "Oh god- he's malade mentale for good we can't place him back like he used to be, a demon with crocodile eyes and with shark teeth has made him be… like that."
A drool has scrolled down from his damped lips and his eyes went backwards as the others except for Neil cringed at Jay's position and Neil simply rolled his eyes out and said "Cheese's I don't know what's his problem but he's so acting immature!" and that has received him a couple of murderous looks from his friends as he simply ignored their looks.
"Herry you more than welcome to bring Jay upstairs in his room, this is the only thing we can think of unless the others knows a better plan." As Theresa said with remorse and fights back the tears, she has sighted as she took a look at everyone's faces: only shock was written in their faces. Herry has agreed and went to carry Jay up to his room and as they couldn't hear his "alien" talking Neil has turned suddenly to a mirror that was hung up in the living room and saw a face of a demon with crocodile eyes and shark teeth and the visage has made him back away but accidently bumps into Odie as he angrily turns to him as he hissed, "What's the matter man, can't stand seeing yourself anymore?"
"No but- did you guys see this…" as he was going to continue but was interrupted by Herry's big loud noisy footsteps coming down stairs to join them and he asked with curiosity, "What 'Did you guys see this…' Neil? Are you going insane like Jay or what?"
"No but I saw that horrible creature- or demon or whatever that her boyfriend have seen- in that mirror." As he pointed to the mirror where there was no face, he was going to turn into some place safe with a pale face but both Herry and Archie whacked him in the back of the head and scowled at him, "Where the fuck do you see the face of the demon thing? It's not there!"
"Buts…" has said Neil as he shakily raised a finger but was denied with five of "NO BUTS!" as he shakily wiped away his tears and gulped down and with that he stared at them with hatred and went upstairs which was the last time that the others saw him alive.
Neil was crying softly in his room, crying for one hour and yet he felt so abandoned by his friends, the only ones who had he confident in them and was now looking up at the ceiling and angrily muttered to himself, "Yeah right… they are not friends at all- they- why don't they believe me?"
"Because they think that your nuts my love," has answered a familiar voice and he has now stared at that terrible creature, her glowing yellow crocodile eyes flashed at him as her shark teeth has smiled and has continued with her French accent, "May I introduced myself, my name's Mila and you are ready to go in Elysian Fields."
"What- no I am so not ready- I belong in this world." Neil backed a little from her who was extremely scared of her who felt his knees going to buckle in any minute.
"Why your friends don't believe you and you haven't seen your family since three years- the years that you were battling Cronus." Laughed Mila as her long black hair that was all curly shook when she moved and the rest of her was all dressed in black: mini skirt, a short halter top, black high-heels and make-up, she was now eyeing the perfect copy of Narcissus. "But my do you ever look like your ancestor with that hair…"
"Get away even if you're sexy." Neil has warned Mila as she continued to laugh, Neil has forgotten that his bedroom window was open and he finally realized as he stopped and Mila simply hissed teasingly as Neil also realized this was the end for him as he only had one option: battle for his life. And then it was mistake because you see Mila was too fast for him and she has strikes him with a large knife and that's when Neil has screamed while the others was bloodcurdling at him, "That's enough Neil stop acting like an imbecile!"
"You see Neil they don't give a shits about you all they care is… à eux memes." Mila has said as she stabbed him one last time as Neil muttered "I'm sorry to my family for not…" but then she has deepened and she has stopped as she saw him staring at her with those tinted blue eyes.
"Neil come on, open that fucking door!" Archie screamed while he and Herry has pounded against Neil's door and Odie just rolls his eyes off and decided to help them by kicking the door and it was now the girls turn to roll their eyes as they muttered "Idiots" low so the guys couldn't hear them and the door has finally crashed and they've seen Mila sitting on Neil's body that was covered in blood and some of it was around them while they saw Neil's face was pale and his lifeless eyes were staring coldly at them and she smiled evilly as she disappeared in thin air.
"No… Neil." Theresa has said with tears rolling down her cheeks and then here appeared Hera, Chiron and Aphrodite who just glared at them for treating Neil like shit instead of treating him as a friend. Chiron and Aphrodite who was weeping has left which has made Hera speak in a brusque voice, "So have you met the young girl who got killed here twenty years ago am I right- and don't ask me stupid questions: Mila was killed by a random guy that just went on killing that poor girl and was transformed into a demon."
"Please Hera tell us what to do- she has killed Neil and she has made Jay insane." Panicked Theresa as her eyes went wide with fear and Hera angrily has finally snapped in a harsh tone:
"This isn't my concerns it's you guys that has her not us so I am sorry to tell you this but I'm afraid I am- we are no help at all." And with that she has left the five ex-heroes wondering what will happen next.
