Chapter 10

36 Years Ago…..

Six year old Lavender Maxwell danced along the green field of flowers while enjoying a nice late spring day. Her sister, Melanie, was only a year older than her.

"Melanie! Watch me!" Lavender cheered while doing her best twirl.

"You dance great!" Melanie cheered with her giving her a grin.

Lavender giggled back while she continued dancing in the meadow. She stared at a tree which looked very climbable and sturdy enough to climb very high.

"Let's go climb that tree!" Lavender squealed as Melanie grinned back following her.

"Be careful sis," Melanie warned as she anxiously analyzed the branches. Some of them didn't look promising to be sturdy enough.

"I can climb sis! I'll be alright," Lavender assured Melanie as she continued staring with concern.

Lavender continued climbing until she was like ten feet high in the air. She gazed in awe at the beautiful view the tree gave the country.

"Melanie! It's beautiful up here!" Lavender called down to her sister smiling while gazing up towards the blue sky.

"You should get down from there Lavender!" Melanie called to her sister as she started breathing heavily.

Suddenly, a crack sounded for the both of the two sisters and the branch Lavender was standing on cracked and started plummeting towards the ground.

"LAVENDER!" Melanie screamed as Lavender fell downwards hitting several heavy branches hard on her head. Lavender then sounded a huge thud on the ground with blood all over her face and dirt covered all over her blue flower dress. Melanie cried with tears as she tried to nudge her sister awake, but no signs of movement was present.

"Lavender! MOMMY! DADDY!"

The girl's parents Lucy and Carl Maxwell turned their gaze sharp on Melanie after hearing her frantic screaming.

"Lavender fell! Mommy, Lavender fell!" Melanie cried as her mother held her arms out to Melanie.

"I'm sure it's not that serious is it?" Lucy asked in a calm tone. Melanie shook her head violently as soon as Carl's eyes went wide. There he saw, was his daughter's body lying unconscious on a hilltop by the tree.

"LAVENDER!" Carl screamed in a panic as he ran out the door to retrieve her. Lucy did the same thing as weeping could be heard from Lucy.

"SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Lucy cried.

….

It was somewhat five to six hours the Maxwells were at the hospital praying that their Lavender will survive. The three sat in the room crying. Mostly Melanie after witnessing a horrid fall. She looked down at her shoes until a big shadow overcast her as she looked up in tears. Her father. His fists clenched tightly while staring angrily down at his daughter.

"You did this."

"I'm….sorry," Melanie choked.

Carl gave Melanie a huge slap on the face causing Melanie's cheeks to go red as more tears burned down.

"YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO KEEP AN EYE ON HER!" Carl shouted angrily as Lucy stared in horror.

"CARL!" Lucy scowled as she held her arms out for Melanie.

"It's not your fault Mel. Are you okay?" Lucy quivered while running her hand against Melanie's face.

"Bitch. She killed our daughter!" Carl growled.

"We don't know if she died! She's your daughter too!" Lucy hissed as Melanie stared wide eyed.

"Not anymore," Carl growled rushing into Lavender's hospital room. Lucy breathed in horror and shock after one simple slap.

"I'm sorry Mel. I don't know what got into him," Lucy huffed.

…..

"We don't know if she's going to make it in a condition like this," the doctor stated. "She has no recollection of anything."

Lucy and Carl quivered as Lavender peeped her eyes open staring at her parents confused.

"Who are you?" Lavender questioned.

"I'm your mommy. He's your daddy. And that's your sister," Lucy explained as Lavender continued staring blankly.

Lavender was on basic level at school and she struggled to learn sometimes. But in a condition like this, then she would have even more trouble.

"At least she knows some things like speaking, partially reading, and writing, but in a sloppy way." the doctor continued.

"Thank you doctor," Lucy breathed.

….

It has been two weeks since Lavender's big fall. Melanie on the other hand, felt shut out after the incident. Her father kept on cursing and slapping her for nearly killing Lavender while Lucy was too busy helping Lavender with things. Melanie would always hang in her room where she felt like it was her true home. A place where she can be alone. But it was too lonely. It wasn't fun playing by herself all the time when she missed her sister dearly. But was it really her fault?

"Mel! Mel! Come and play pwease!" Lavender squealed as she knocked on Melanie's room repeatedly.

"Go away!" Melanie shouted.

"Come on sweetcakes. We don't need to bother your sister anymore," Carl growled picking Lavender up.

Once school rolled around, the girls were off to a fine start until a miracle happened. Lavender was getting the level she needed to be on for her grade level. Lavender would get the perfect scores and boy was her family proud. Lavender had dramatically improved after her big fall with the tree. Things went well with her life as she continued on and on being a wonderful and talented girl. But this had stroke Melanie dramatically because the more Lavender became successful, the more Melanie felt rejected. Melanie's scores were dropping and she had a really unhealthy relationship with her father. Her mother barely paid any attention anymore as she kept on admiring Lavender. Melanie would often cry in the middle of the night and sleep during class. She would often have to stay after school for detention. Her parents would ask her to do all the chores while they were busy focusing on Lavender. Melanie felt like her life was a mess.


Seven year old Fritz Smith couldn't take it anymore. It was over a year since his father left the family leaving him to raise Vincent alone. His mother was just as bad. She was a drunk after her husband left her. She would often act like a brat towards the boys as Fritz continued defending his little brother from their worst nightmares. Abuse. Their mother Alex would attempt to slap his little brother Vincent, but Fritz would step in and defend his brother by taking the blame. It was until Fritz couldn't take it anymore so he shut himself out from his brother leaving Vincent to get punished - even if it was for no reason.

27 years ago

It was highschool when all four children turned fifteen and sixteen years old. Lavender enjoyed her high school so far as she continued succeeding. Lavender walked towards class carrying a lot of heavy books until she accidentally ran into a boy with brown hair and dreamy eyes.

"Sorry Calvin! My bad!" Lavender apologized while Calvin gave an unconvinced look.

"I want you to watch out for me. Saw you talking to another boy!" Calvin hissed.

"He was asking for my help!" Lavender protested.

"No one flirts with my girlfriend! Especially that Fritz Smith!" Calvin hissed as Lavender blushed in embarrassment. "I can tell he likes you. If you want me to be your boyfriend, then bash out at the other boys!"

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Lavender glanced over at Fritz who was glaring over at Calvin as Calvin gave a snort of laughter. Behind Fritz, was his little brother Vincent who stared at Lavender as if he were under a spell.

"Ha ha! And what's nerdy Fritz going to do about it?!" Calvin laughed as he seized Lavender's wrist tightly.

"Don't insult my brother in front of me!" Vincent said suddenly stepping in.

"Oooh! Looks like your wittle brover is going to save you!" Calvin laughed as he threw Lavender into his friend's arms. He strutted towards Vincent and Fritz as they glared at him with loathsome feeling.

"Shut up," Fritz growled.

Calvin growled and grabbed Fritz by the shirt as Lavender and Vincent yelled frantically.

"Let him go!" Lavender screamed trying to break free of Calvin's goons.

"You talk to my girlfriend again, I'll kill you!" Calvin hissed punching Fritz in the nose harshly.

Fritz fell to the ground with his nose bleeding and his glasses broken after Calvin stepped on them repeatedly.

"Let him go!" Lavender hissed as she growled knocking both of Calvin's goons to the ground. Calvin didn't pay attention as he continued attempting to have Vincent as his next victim. Lavender quickly rushed over as she received a harsh punch in the eye. Lavender ended up having a back eye as she glared at Calvin who looked petrified.

"We….are….done…." Lavender growled wiping the water spilling from her black eye.

"What?!" Calvin shouted in disbelief.

"Go away you jerk!" Lavender hissed slapping Calvin across the face.

A teacher rushed outside after hearing the commotion outside. Lavender, Fritz, and Vincent explained everything convincing the teacher enough to give Calvin an in school suspension. Then they rushed Fritz to the nurse as his nose continued bleeding.

"Thanks…." Fritz said as if he sounded sick.

"No biggie. I'll make sure he stops picking on you," Lavender smiled as she turned her gaze towards Vincent.

"Um….thanks?" Vincent said in a nervous and awkward tone as Lavender chuckled. She did after all, save his ass.

"I'm Lavender by the way," Lavender smiling holding out her hand.

"Vincent. Vincent Smith," Vincent replied shaking it.

The two gazed at each other smiling as if they liked each other.

It was over two months since Vincent and Lavender had met each other. It got to the point where they were boyfriend and girlfriend. The two would always go out sharing their personal pasts and finding out they had a lot in common. Fritz in the meantime felt dumped after his good days with Lavender in eighth grade. They too, had a lot in common when they had to deal with family problems. No Lavender was with his brother in which Fritz thought she meant to be with Vincent in the first place.

Two years later, Lavender and Vincent were married in their Senior year of highschool. Both Fritz and Melanie thought it was a bit young to get married at that age. But Lavender and Vincent didn't care. They just focused on loving each other since they met. And it was only two years ago. Fritz and Melanie both felt that they were insecure about themselves after the daring Vincent and Lavender found and chose each other as a couple. But during the wedding, both of the two siblings met and felt love and sympathy for each other as well. Well, Melanie forced it sort of leaving Fritz to still love Lavender no matter what.

Another two years later when when Vincent and Lavender turned nineteen, they had their first child. Terrence. They had their baby around the time Fritz and Melanie got married. They didn't feel darkness or loneliness when they got together. They even ended getting their relationship back with their older siblings. They explained how horrid they felt about their pasts and that they felt sorry for the older ones after being treated like crap. Melanie and Fritz accepted the apology and remained in contact with their younger siblings. They were all happy with their own children after Melanie gave birth to a boy and Lavender with Terrence's younger brother.

Until…. The darkness had come back with the murder of Alex Smith after a harmless prank of his older brother. Terrence and his bully friends taunted and picked on Alex leading him towards Fredbear and throwing the poor boy into the animatronic's mouth. Vincent and Lavender were pissed after Alex passed away of his injuries three days later. Fritz and Melanie were there to grieve with them after the loss of their youngest. Lavender felt that she didn't belong to the Smith family so she left Vincent without realizing she was pregnant with his daughter.

Vincent was left to raise Terrence who acted suicidal when he was around his father. Vincent would yell and abuse him like his mother did with him as a boy. It was his fault Alex died.

Then another four years later, bad things began to happen after five children plus Terrence disappeared in 1987. And one of the children was Melanie's son. She wept and wept as if everything was taken from her. She promised him as a baby to raise him with all her love and affection when her parents never gave it to her. Now it was taken from her son after all the pain both he and she went through.

She suspected that Vincent had murdered the children because of his poor relationship with Terence. But she maliciously smiled since she felt that he got what he deserved. No children left, and no wife to be married to. Now they were even.

Everything was a mess now that all Vincent and Fritz had left were Melanie and Aliah. Aliah of course, being the main attention of everything after dealing with her abuse with Melanie. But eventually, they'll all move on and learn to forgive each other….even if it means a secret was kept for years.
