I don't own anything except Izzy. I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I would like to thank matt-hardy-lover-lol for the awesome support! "hey, Izzy Mrs. Cole says we are going to the beach soon." Tom said to Izzy one day while they looked out the window. It was raining.
"hey Tom, did Dennis ever stop doing those terrible things to you?" Izzy asked. "not…really." Tom sighed. "what about Amy? Did you find out if she told on us?" Tom asked her. "yeah." Izzy replied with a far off look on her face.
The next morning all of the orphans walked down to the beach. It was rather cold outside so they couldn't swim unless they wanted to get sick.
Amy and Dennis attended the trip to the beach which Tom and Izzy were all too happy about. Tom had a plan. "we can lead them into the cave…we can get our revenge there. They wont be mean to us anymore, don't you want all those stories to stop?" Tom whispered as they walked down crowded London streets.
Stories…all the other orphans had a bunch of rumors concerning Tom and Izzy. Yes, it had been them that hung that rabbit from the rafters. Yes, it had been them that made sure that Betty was miserable those first few days that she stayed at Wool's. and they'd had fun doing it. Although most of the ideas were Tom's, Izzy helped out when he needed her to. Whenever anybody was mean to them…if anybody tried anything with them they'd get them and whoever was unfortunate enough to cross them never did so again…
They had a reason to get their revenge against Dennis and Amy. Amy was little, only a few years younger than Izzy and Tom, they were around 9 then. Dennis had done something to Tom during lunch when Izzy was sick one day. He never told her what, but it called for revenge.
Amy…she had told on them for hanging the rabbit from the rafters. Izzy had overheard this conversation while walking through the hallway. She ran to tell Tom who was furious. He told her that he would come up with a plan to get even with both of them at the same time for what they did to them.
Obviously they were punished for hanging that rabbit. They also didn't care. After all, it was Dennis' rabbit that they hung. Dennis was upset so once again he decided to publicly embarrass Tom…which didn't go so well on his part. After that everybody was afraid of Tom and Izzy, and they should have been. Obviously they were a dangerous duo that should be avoided crossing.
None of the orphans dared run off. They would have nowhere to go. At least at Wool's they had a bed to sleep in and food. Which they wouldn't have if they got separated.
"what if they don't?" Izzy asked. "They will. Trust me." Tom smirked. "Alright. So then…what do we do to them?" Izzy asked. "we'll demonstrate our powers of course…your powers especially…we can persuade them…" Tom trailed off.
"Amy! Dennis! Do you want to go exploring with us?" Izzy feigned being friendly with them. "but it's almost time to go." Dennis said, looking a little scared. "But it will only take a little bit, I'm sure we won't be missed." Tom interjected as innocently as possible.
"uh…" Amy stuttered. Izzy turned around from the cliff. "I…was thinking…maybe we could be friends…" she said, sweetly. Suddenly, foolishly Amy and Dennis warmed up to them. "okay, lets go!" The two said with enthusiasm.
As expected Amy and Dennis foolishly followed Tom and Izzy into the cave. "did you get the snake?" Tom whispered. "right here." Izzy whispered. A snake was coiled around her wrist. She wasn't sure how but she too was able to speak to snakes…just like Tom.
"Where are we going?" Dennis asked, shaking. Izzy turned around and smile. "you'll see." She said. Amy and Dennis stayed close together, still a little afraid of Tom and Izzy.
"right here." Tom said, stopping. "Cecile," Izzy called to the snake who perked her head up. Amy and Dennis were freaking out. "we need you to do something for us. You see those two people over there? They're mean to us. Could you…persuade them to stop saying such mean things to us?" Izzy asked.
Izzy peered into the water. "I think we should go back…" Dennis said with Amy agreeing. "no, lets go." Tom ordered. "But." Dennis said. "I said lets go!" Tom raised his voice.
"I…think it's best if we leave." Dennis argued. Tom whirled around. Dennis fell to the floor screaming. Amy tried to run. "not a good idea." Izzy caught her.
Dennis and Amy were backed against the cave wall as Cecile began to slither where Tom and Izzy told her to. She wound herself up Dennis' pants. "you see…Izzy and I are fed up with the way you two have been…treating us…it was you who told on us… wasn't it Amy?" Tom smirked. "no I didn't tell on you two I swear!" Amy retorted. "Liar!" Izzy yelled. "I didn't!" Amy screamed. "don't lie to us, Amy." Tom's voice was deadly calm and bone chilling.
Dennis was unaware of Cecile slithering up his leg. "don't talk to her that way! You're scaring her!" Dennis yelled. Tom raised his eyebrows. "we're leaving." Dennis announced. "oh, I don't think you're in the position to do such a thing." Izzy said. Cecile settled on Dennis' shoulder. Dennis went rigid as he became aware of the potentially poisonous snake coiled on his shoulder, hissing in his ear.
"its not going to hurt…very much…if Cecile bites you that is…you won't even feel a thing…but you'll die within three minutes if we tell her to bite you. So you see, if you stay…you might live…if you do as we say, that is." Izzy sighed, walking closer. Cecile hissed in Dennis' ear again.
"do you two want to see a magic trick?" Izzy continued pretending that she wasn't threatening them with their lives. "n-not really." Amy shook. A piece of driftwood flew up into the air caused by Tom. Amy and Dennis gasped. "You know how Mr. Burns got all…charred up? He was being mean to Tom, he got what he deserved. Let me demonstrate what I can do to you if you don't oblige to our conditions." Izzy laughed. "I did it. I did it and didn't feel sorry for the pain he was in…and I can do it to you too…just watch." Izzy looked up to the small piece of driftwood floating in the air. It immediately caught fire, lighting up the whole cave. Bats flew out in a frenzy.
"y-you would…burn us?" Dennis asked. Cecile was coiled around his neck. "I would, without a second thought. Unless that is…if you keep quiet about this. And tell us…why you told Mrs. Cole about your stupid, insignificant rabbit." Izzy said with a wicked smile.
"what if we refuse?" Dennis asked. Izzy and Tom looked at each other. The log dropped and the cave plunged into darkness followed by Amy screaming. "you aren't going to tell anybody about this, are you? You'll take it back that we hung your dumb rabbit?" Tom asked, walking over to where Amy and Dennis should have been.
"y-yes." came their unanimous reply. "you swear? Because if you say a word…to anyone I will make sure you won't have use of that other leg either. That goes for you too Dennis…or I could have Cecile bite you…that would be painless of course…but Izzy and I could always make your death more painful…and seem like an accident, if you don't do as we say." Izzy let out another laugh.
"w-we swear. Nothing. We promise." They spoke. "good." Izzy smiled at Tom. "Cecile, stay close to Dennis. If he tries to tell anybody anything, bite him." Tom spoke to Cecile. "of course." Cecile replied. "thank you for your help." Tom said to Cecile.
Tom grabbed a button from Amy's jacket and a yo-yo from Dennis' pocket. They were trophies…Tom always kept trophies whenever they got even with people who were mean to them. To Izzy it was pointless to gather trophies, they might get caught.
Tom and Izzy helped Amy and Dennis out of the cave. Amy had a broken leg and Dennis, a dislocated shoulder. They didn't speak to anybody after that. Mrs. Cole was suspicious of Tom and Izzy for a while. They didn't care.
