Hope you're liking this though.
Grubbs and Bill-E were sitting on the couch watching random TV shows in the living room. Holly, the girl Bill-E was always talking about, was coming over in a little while to work on their History project. Bill-E sat anxiously, fiddling with his hands. This was somewhat annoying to Grubbs, but at the same time it was kind of funny to watch.
Finally Grubbs said something. "Dude, she's just coming to study. It'll be fine."
"Yeah, I know that but you don't understand. I've never had a friend who's a girl before. And..I think I might…you know…like her," he said the last part in a hushed voice. It was quite funny to see Bill-E act like a nine-year-old who liked the prettiest girl in the class, and if all the other boys found out, they'd kick your ass.
Nonetheless, Grubbs smiled at him. "Yes, I'm sure everyone is aware of your attraction to her."
Bill-E's jaw dropped. "What? Is it that obvious? Man, that's embarrassing."
They were in the middle of watching Suite Life on Deck when the doorbell rang.
"Grubbs! It's her! You're more experienced with girls, tell me what to do, god dammit!" Bill-E said, freaking out.
"Just act yourself. You haven't had any trouble with that before when you were hanging out at school."
"Yeah, but that's at school! She is here at my second home! And Dervish is here!"
"What's Dervish got to do with it?"
"He's bound to embarrass me and probably scare her off!"
"True. I doubt he'll scare her off. If anything, that would be me, being the werewolf and all—not that I'm going to scare her off! I wouldn't do that," Grubbs quickly added at Bill-E's panicked expression.
Bill-E took a deep breath as he and Grubbs walked to the front door but were a bit taken back when they found their uncle Dervish already at the door, talking with a pretty girl with long, dirty-blonde hair and bright blue eyes with History books in hand.
Grubbs blinked.
Granola God, please help Bill-E with this. She is waaay out of his league…., Grubbs prayed.
"Billy! You ready to study?" the girl, Holly, said to Bill-E. Grubbs was a bit surprised that she called him Billy and not "Bill-E" like everybody else with the exception of Dervish.
"Y-yeah. What were you two talking about while you were waiting for me?" Bill-E asked nervously.
"Oh, we were just talking about you. I was saying that you're pretty funny to watch when you're nervous around girls," said Dervish, his eyes twinkling.
"Ha ha…yeah…coolio…I guess," muttered Bill-E. "Well, let's go study. History rocks!" Bill-E said, receiving weird stares.
Grubbs shook his head to himself as his brother and Holly headed towards the library.
"Cute, isn't it? It's good to see him interested in girls, though. He's coming out of his shell," commented Dervish chuckling.
"Yeah."
"Can you find Latisha and Ladonna please? I need to take them into town for clothes shopping. They didn't have much when they came."
"Yeah, sure." Grubbs was nervous about the idea of Dervish being alone with the twins. Then again, Dervish is an experienced Disciple; he can take care of himself. If those girls try anything, he can kick their asses.
Oh! Better yet, he could just kill them.
Grubbs went up the stairs to the twins' room and stopped in front of the door. Again, he stared at Mr. Fat Pony in all his sparkly glory. There was something wrong about him and he was going to find out…eventually. Grubbs heard voices on the other side of the door.
"He knows something is up. What are we going to do? Daddy will be mad!"
"Shut up! Grubbs is not going to figure it out until it's too late. And daddy said to get him there any way possible, so that is what we have to focus on."
"What about Dervish? Once he finds out, which he eventually will, he will do anything in his power to get him back. He won't love us anymore. He'll want to kill us. The only reason he's taken us in is because he feels sorry for us."
"Your point? You ramble too much."
"You're so mean."
"Thank you."
"…What if we fail?"
"We won't fail. Daddy will forgive us."
"What if he doesn't? He's not our real father. We're really just pawns is his game. Remember, he pretty much controls us. He's the king."
"Stop it. Screw his game. We're doing this our way like he told us and so what if we mess up—which we won't—he'll forgive us."
"I still don't find your logic."
"Shut. Up. You baby."
"So how are we going to get him?"
"We'll figure it out in time."
Grubbs growled under his breath. He knew those brats were up to something. What did they want with him? Whatever it is, he was not going to be fooled. Grubbs knocked on the door and waited for them to answer.
"Yeah, Dumbo?"
"Okay, what is it with you calling me names?" Grubbs asked.
"Have you seen your ears?"
Grubbs shyly touched his right ear.
"Whatever. Dervish wants you to come downstairs. He's taking you clothes shopping."
"Clothes!" Latisha and Ladonna both squealed and raced down the stairs.
That was weird…
Grubbs turned to go to his room but stopped. He slowly turned back to the girls' room and hesitantly started for the room. He didn't know what so find in an eleven-year-old girl's room. He found that the room looked like it was divided into two parts. There was a bed on both side and the theme somewhat similar to some extent.
On one side, there was a hand-drawn flower that had the name Latisha on it hanging above the bed. There was a Jonas Brothers poster, accompanied by a Camp Rock and Demi Lovato posters. There was a puppy calendar and a Team Jacob magazine clipping on the left side of the bed. The bed had a cat comforter, covered with stuffed bears.
The opposite side of the room was somewhat similar. There was Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez posters along with some Team Edward material. And instead of a cat comforter, it was dogs, with a Ballerina Barbie doll on a pillow.
Grubbs has never been surrounded by such girly things in his entire life. Even his sister, Gret, room wasn't this bad. Sure, she had the latest hot, boy band poster up and the occasional fashion magazine, but it was mainly chess stuff and nature photographs.
Grubbs didn't think he could handle so much girly…junk.
Grubbs shook his head and began searching the room of any…dark and mysterious artifacts. He didn't know where to start. He even doubted there was anything evil in the room.
No. That's just what they want you to think.
That got Grubbs to thinking. What were they talking about anyway? Their dad? The last thing he heard about him was he died before they were even born. And them failing? What about it? He was so confused.
He looked under the beds, in the closet, in their clothes dresser, the Barbie doll house, and even the cupboard under the sink in the bathroom. He didn't find anything. He was just about to give up when his mind wandered to Mr. Fat Pony. He didn't know what made him think about it but he decided to check the crafts bucket.
He cautiously opened it and found, not crafts, but a photograph. Of a familiar family member.
A very familiar person.
Cal Grady.
Grubbs' dad.
What the hell did they have his picture for?
He studied the picture. It must have been taken about five years ago because it was at the lake house they had went to for the family reunion. Looking at his dad brought tears to his eyes, but he didn't let them out. He refused to cry in the enemy's bedroom. His father looked so happy, so carefree, so alive.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
Grubbs whipped around to see Latisha and Ladonna standing in the doorway. And they didn't look happy.
They looked like they wanted to kick his ass.
"Er…um…"
"What the hell are you doing with that photograph?" They both had their arms crossed and gave Grubbs death glares.
"I should be asking you two the same thing? This is my dad! What are you doing with him?" Grubbs demanded.
"Why are you going through our stuff?"
"Why do you have my dad?"
"Get out, you jerk!"
"Answer my question!"
"Get the hell out!"
"Answer my f***ing question!"
Latisha and Ladonna's eyes flashed. But they flashed that terrifying black and red. They took a deep breath, trying to calm down.
"Why wouldn't we have a picture of him?"
"You have one of him."
"After all, he is our father to," they both finished in unison.
A/N: Mwahahahaha! Cliff hanger! You must hate me. I'm sort of proud of myself. I've never done a cliffy before. *Smiles proudly*
Please let me know what you think of this.
Just to let you know, there won't be another chapter until next week. I will be on vacation from Monday (July 1st) to Thursday (July 5th), so there probably won't be a new chapter until probably Saturday.
