Disclaimer: I can't believe I forgot this in the last chapter. I do not own "The Brothers Grimm" or any of their tales. Although I could use a couple billion to buy them out…Oh well, heh heh.
Author's note: I love your reviews, it really helps with writers block. Luckily I haven't had that problem yet so enjoy. Will is the older brother, takes place after movie. Slash/incest ect.
-The Hidden Tales of the Brothers Grimm-
"Ohhh…" Jake rolled over as he slowly regained consciousness. His head unmercifully throbbed from were the angry villager hit him and it persisted to wake him up. The events of the night before rushed into his mind: the dark and foggy forest, the squeaky sign, the voices, and his brother. Jake immediately sat up strait and opened his eyes, only to find a rather dark and blurred vision.
"Will…" His throat was dry, which meant he had to have been knocked out for some time. Jake's head throbbed again and he reached up to touch the back of his head. His hands met a fairly large bandage that wrapped around his head. By the feel of it, it probably wasn't a sight too appealing.
"Will…" Jake tried to call out to his brother again. The room was dreadfully dark and the only thing he could see was a tiny sliver of dim light, glowing from under the door. Regaining his perception, Jake proceeded to seek out his brother.
Jake sat on the edge of his bed listening for any sound, hoping that it would reveal his brother's location. Even though he strained his ears, he was only greeted with a deafening silence and piercing darkness. Jake stood up quietly and walked across the chilly wooden floor to the door.
Opening the door he cautiously stepped out into the hallway. "Where on Earth am I?" The hallway was richly decorated in Transylvanian art and on the far wall he could vaguely make out a painting of a richly dressed man. The painting, Jake had assumed, was probably the owner of this lavishly decorated house. To the left of Jake's room was another door except it was slightly ajar.
Jake crept over to the door and peeked inside. There he saw his brother with a similar head bandage, asleep on the bed nearest to the door. "Will!" Jake ran over to his injured brother. "Oh no this is all my fault... I should have never showed you the letter, or allowed you to go on this trip. Oh what have I done! Will are you okay, please wake up!"
Will half asleep grumbled " Jake, don't talk so loud… head… hurt…" He tossed over again in an attempt to go back to sleep. "Will wake up! We need to find out what's going on an why they attacked us, it might be related to the letter they sent us." Finally recognizing Jake's voice, Will opened his eyes " Jake… is that you?" Jake rolled his eyes "No, I'm the evil witch of the forest. Of course it's me!"
Will sat up strait and hugged Jake. "My god Jake! I thought you seriously hurt yourself, the way you fell off your horse and everything! Are you okay?" Jake blushed at Will's sudden attention "Yes, I'm fine. On a more practical note: have you seen my glasses"? Will glanced over to his bedside table and found the missing object. "I guess whoever brought us here left them in my room". Will picked them up and placed them on his brother's nose.
"Well, I suppose we should find out why on earth those people attacked us." Will stretched out, climbed off his bed and stood beside Jake. Together they cautiously went downstairs to demand an explanation.
When they got to the bottom of the stairwell they could hear a furious argument coming from the kitchens. "I'll say it once and I'll say it again, I sent for them! They are not vampires!" A boy's voice argued. "Emil! It does not matter who they are, we cannot allow travelers into the town! Maybe they claim to be who you sent for, but they could be deceiving us all." An older woman's voice snapped, causing the other to pause and think. "I'll prove to you that they are not vampires! Then you'll see that they have come to help!" This time Emil stormed off to the doorway and saw that the two brothers were listening in on their conversation.
"Is there a reason to explain why you attacked us?" Will asked with a demanding voice. " Uh…I…the villagers, I can explain!" Emil stuttered as soon as he saw the angry look on Will's face. "Good, because I really do think this needs a good explanation." Will grumbled as he dragged Emil to the grate room.
Author' Note: New chapter, I will try to make it a goal to update every week or so and chapters will probably get longer as the story goes on.
