Okay, so I never actually planned to leave you guys hanging this long. So without further adieu, here's another chapter of 'The Protector'.
"The Protector"
Anna had been plotting her parents' death for a long time, and she had had months to think up some gruesome ideas, but she had never included her brothers' in any of her scenarios. Now, she had to think up ideas that would include all of them, and she had the perfect one in her head.
Smirking, Anna looks directly into the twins' eyes, " How would you two like to play a game?"
Dylan and Zach look at each other warily, after all Anna's definition of 'games' were not what everyone would call them. Zach, being the braver one at the moment, looked at Anna and asks, "What do you have in mind?"
Anna laughs, "Don't worry little brother, the game won't be for you two, it'll be for our 'parents'. It'll be a game of hide and seek, but for each wrong seek there will be a penalty."
Zach, starting to understand the plan, nods and looks at Dylan, who has been quiet. Dylan looked like he was fighting with himself, but looks at them and nods, "What do we need to do, Anna?"
Anna reaches forward and rustles both their hair, " Let's make this house like a scene out of 'The Collector'."
Dylan shutters, remembering when they had watched that movie and the sequel, it had given them all nightmares for weeks. Zach also shuttered, but nodded in understanding, knowing that they would have to do something special for the Deity to accept them now.
Anna started listing off things that needed to be gathered;like lightbulbs, nails and kitchen knives. Dylan and Zach noted them down on a piece of paper, along with the rooms in the house. They decided that each hiding place would have a trap in each room; for the kitchen- the cabinets would be lined with broken glass from the lightbulbs and the cubby space in the cupboard lined with knives, for the bathrooms- underneath the sink lined with broken light bulbs and the tub curtain with tacks, for the bedrooms- underneath the bed broken glass and the closet with needles in the clothes/shoes. Plus each trap would have another to make sure that damage was done, like if they climbed underneath the bed, not only would the glass be on the ground but pierced through the bottom of the mattress. By the time their parents found them, they would have lost enough blood that it wouldn't be that hard to bring them down. To keep them on track, clues would be left in each hiding spot and egging them on, to their demise.
Anna watched as her two brothers' set off to set up the rooms, and turned to face Buughul, " Your word that you will take care of them afterwards?"
Buughul chuckled, 'You would trust the word of a demon?'
"Better demon than humans at this point." Anna states, looking at her body.
Buughul nods, 'My word that I will take care of them.'
Anna smiles at the deity and nods, thinking about how to lure their parents through the house and to their demise, before realizing the perfect way and grinning vindictively at the thought.
*With the 'parents'*
Courtney and Clint sit up and rub their heads, trying to shake the confusion from their minds. Clint looks up and sees that its growing dark and that they were still outside, with neither of the boys in sight. Turning to Courtney, he could tell that she hadn't been in on the obvious drugging and that left only two people as the possible criminals behind this. "ZACH, DYLAN, YOUR ASSES BETTER GET OUT HERE AND TAKE YOUR BEATINGS LIKE MEN!" Clint waited to see if that would send them cowering to him, like it usually would, but he heard not a peep from around them. ' So that's how it's going to be, fine lets see how strong you both will be once I get to you.' He thought getting up and pulling Courtney with him.
Courtney just watched the anger flash across Clint's face and wondered if she should try to calm him, but decided to let it play out, as they had drugged her as well and she was tired of defending them and getting beat for their mistakes. 'It would serve them right for making him angry and drugging us both.' She thought, letting Clint drag her up and towards the house.
Once they reached the door, the two saw a note and read it, 'Let's play a game, Hide and Seek! But be warned that each wrong guess comes with a punishment!' Clint growled and grabbed the note, crumbling it and throwing it to the ground.
"So they want to play do they, well let's play and once I get my hands on them...I do worse then I did to Anna!" Clint growled, pushing open the door and heading inside.
