appearence? I know ur working on other stuff though, so it's all good.
Missy, your still grounded from Ian. With no furthur ado, Enjoy!
"No! Not fair! You cheated!"
"Yeah! You cheated!"
Bethany and Jamie both protested. Ian just smirked and shrugged as the three of them were on the last lap of Koopa Troopa Beach. They had been playing Mario Kart 2010 all after noon. Bethany got angry and pulled Ian's controller socket out.
"Hey! Whose cheating, now?"
Jamie and Bethany just laughed as they crossed the finish line and Ian's character blew up. "Oh, you think that's funny?" Ian then picked both of them up at the ankle and dangled them three feet above the ground. They both screamed loudly with laughter. Bethany kicked with her other foot to get him to let her go. He slowly lowered them down, then left them drop the last few inches.
"Ouch." Jamie said as he rubbed his head. Bethany did a kick up and playfully attacked back. He grabbed her wrists to restrain her. He was smirking at her again. Then he looked over to the window and his smirk left him. Bethany watched with curiosity.
"Daddy? What's wrong?" He looked back at her briefly and let her wrists go. His eyes went back to the window.
"Bethany, Jamie, go to your rooms. Lock the door and the windows and pull your blinds shut."
"Why?" Jamie asked curiously as he got to his feet.
"Just do as I say. Now." They nodded and went down the hall. Jamie grabbed Bethany's shoulder.
"Beth, can I stay with you? I don't like this." Bethany nodded and opened the door to her room. He entered and sat on the bed as Bethany shut the door. She used all three locks. Then she closed her blinds. She went over to where her sworde hung and grabbed her katana. She also grabbed her english broadsword and a chinese dagger. She passed the broadsword to Jamie as she put the dagger in her belt pocket.
"You remember what I taught you?"
"Uh huh."
She stood in the middle of her room, ready to fight if needed. They only had to wait.
SMASH!!
They both turned there heads to the wall. It sounded like the window had been broken. There were a few rounds of gunfire, but soon it was silent. Very odd silence. Jamie went to the door. Bethany grabbed his wrist for a second, and then let him finish opening the door.
They both sneaked down the hall very quietly. Jamie looked around the corner intp the living room and then stopped in fear. Bethany peaked over his shoulder.
They had caught Ian wiping human blood off his sword.
Jamie was so scared he couldn't move. He could only stare on in horror. Bethany shook his shoulder. He turned away as soon as he had regained his senses. He handed the sword back and rushed into his room.
Bethany put her english broadsword against the wall and walked into the living room. There were no bodies, no blood, but she was sure that a battle had gone on. She was kinda sad to have missed out. Her Dad stood by the window, picking up the glass. He tossed it into the garbage and turned around to face her. He smirked and at down. she sat on his lap.
After a while, Bethany asked "Why do they hate us? Why do they try to hurt us?"
"They covet the power we have. They are jealous. But don't worry, they will never get far. To any of us."
"Okay. Love you, daddy."
"Love you too, Beth."
-Woo-
Nicky and Chris glared at each other.
"You are such a coward." Nicky said as he smirked.
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Uh huh. If a bad person came, I'd have to represent as you wet your pants!"
Just as they spoke, a bullet went through the window.
"Down!" Danny yelled out as he withdrew his gun. Both kids fit the floor. Danny shot back a couple of rounds. When the opposing fire had ceased, they looked up.
There were three bodies lying on the front lawn. Nicky's eyes were wide open and the site of the dead made him keel over.
"Blah!" He threw up on the floor. Chris moved out of the way.
"And you say I'm weak."
-Po McCartney-
Gracie watched form the stairs as they argued. Intense, angry. She sighed and wished it would end.
This was what was usual. Come home, argue, fight, bed. She was tired of it, and she was sure they were too. She could see her mom was on boarder line tears. She never cried when Joey was around. He made things better. He made her mommy laugh. Daddy couldn't do that. Gracie was confused on that.
Then, as if to answer her prayer, a man burst through the window next to her. She screamed as he proceeded to pick her up.
Jake pulled out his gun, aimed, and fired. The man dropped dead. Gracie ran down the stairs and hid under them. another man jumped in with guns flaring. Jake dropped, bringing Vicky down with him. Jake then barrel rolled and shot the guy.
When the silence assured them that it was all over. gracie ran out crying. She clung to her mother, who was still on the floor. Jake stared at them. Gracie looked up at him and hugged him, too.
"No more chaos." She whispered softly, hoping that what she said was true.
-Bowman-
Teresa stared at Gabriel as he sat at the computer and sighed. Not that she would admit this to a soul, but she had noticed that her dad was, well, not as cool as the others.
Bethany's dad was an assassin, Nicky and Chris's dad was a homicide cop, and Gracie's dad was with the F.B.I. Her dad? Stayed at the computer all day as he made sales of rare objects. "If only he....."
Her thoughts were halted when a man busted through the door. She watched him in horror, knowing that they were unprotected. The man had a gun and it was pointed at her.
Then, much to her surprsie, Gabriel kicked the gun out of his hands. He then did a quick kick to the guy's head and knocked him onto the floor.
"Wow." Teresa whispered. Gabriel glanced at her quickly. She was awe struck. "Daddy, where did you learn that?"
Gabriel smiled. "Well." The man stood up again. Gabriel round housed his side. "That I learned from your Uncle Danny." Gabriel then grabbed the guy's arm and twisted it till a huge snap was heard. "That was courtesy of your Uncle Ian. And this," He punched the guy's temple, knocking him out, "Was from your Aunt Sara."
"Cool." She repiled. Gabriel picked up the gun and emptied it of bullets. He stared at her as she giggled. "What's so funny?"
"Daddy got skill." She said as she proceeded to crack up, forgetting the previous fear. The phone rang and Gabriel picked it up.
"Hello? Yeah, they got this place, too. Only one. Uh huh, uh huh. Right. See you." He turned to Teresa. "Beth and Uncle Ian are coming over. you and Beth stay in your room, right?"
"Yes, sir."
-Later-
"We tried, sir."
"But you failed!" Irons roared in anger. The lone man tried not to rub his bruised and badly broken body.
"Leave."
"But my money........"
"None, you failed to do your job. Out!" The man grumbled. He walked out, but as soon as he did, he pulled a remote mine. He was about to attach it, when he landed face first into the floor. Someone had him pinned painfully to the ground.
"Who did he have you hurt?"
"Ouch."
"Who?!" The person demanded.
"Lot's of people. My group went all over, but they're dead!"
"Who did you go after?"
"Some bitch named Bethany Nottingham. Now let me go free."
"Of your earthly bounds? Of course."
"What is that suppose to...." But by then, his neck had been snapped. He got up from the man's back.
"Idiotic neanderthal." He grumbled.
"Dominic!" He heard Irons bellow. Dominic entered slowly.
"Yes, sir?"
"Get rid of the body."
"Of course." He left the room again.
Irons was ready to kill everything in sight. He stared with anger at the picture he had recieved from the man.
Irons,
I could've written a note full of profanities, but Bethany had a better message. One last time, leave us alone!
It was unsigned, but it was obvious who wrote it. The message from Bethany was a picture of an anime character sticking out it's tongue and pulling it's lower eye lid down. He crumpled the paper and threw it into the fire.
"You'll pay, young wielder. You'll pay."
