A Spooktacular Halloween
Part 4: Historic Discoveries
Purpledolpin05: I know that I'm supposed to be updating Disney Descendants but this idea just popped into my head suddenly and I just had to type it down.
To TKDP: Thanks for your review. Sure you can use the ideas for the next Isabella story of yours. I'm not really sure why but I think Isabella would keep a diary to record all events of her life. I'm still trying to expand the reason why she hates Normos, but who knows if the flapper girl is friends with Isabella? I'm not actually revealing who the ghost on the Li siblings' room is yet, but it's a good guess. And yeah, judging by the fact that there's only a few people with supernatural powers in the house, things are going to get really messy. Hope you will enjoy this chapter.
To leana: Thanks for the review. Yeah, I am still going to write down Wicked World.
I do not own Lab Rats, Mighty med, or any of the Disney Channel, Disney XD or DCOM characters. TKDP owns her Original Characters (Isabella, Fang and Boji) while I own my Original Characters. Enjoy!
A/N: You should listen to 'Witch Hunt (English Cover) [JubyPhonic] 魔女' by JubyPhonic on YouTube because a part of the story is based on this song.
A few days later, everyone was almost finished decorating the Haunted Mansion. Sakura wanted the decorations to be very scary but Bree and Skylar outvoted her since her ideas were 'too graphic' or 'not suitable for anyone' or rated 'will scar you for eternity'.
"Well so far this haunted house is going great!" Chase nodded. "According to my calculations, we should be done with the decorations in let's say 3 more days, which gives up 2 extra days off before the grand premier for Halloween."
"Hey has anyone seen the Li siblings, or Bob?" Cody Martin looked up from his checklist of activities.
"Oh Jones is here with the little boys placing fake rubber spiders in the air vents." Zack pointed over.
"my sister said something about going to the library today." Jones replied.
"If we lose Bob, his cousins Bret and Chet won't be too happy about it." Adam frowned.
Bob was wandering around the haunted house himself, but ended up getting lost near the nursery room.
He thought of the picture of the two siblings: Isabella and Zachary. He didn't really care much about Zachary, Bob was more mesmerized by how pretty Isabella is. [And what really ticks the authoress here is that he doesn't know the difference between living girl and a dead one.]
Bob walked passed the nursery when he heard someone inside the rom. He tried to calm down his nerves, because if he screams too loud he might at least get the other's attention, or break every window in the house.
He peeked his head inside, and saw a boy's silhouette.
'It's a guy, how did he got inside?' He thought. He walked inside.
"Hello kid, are you alright?" he asked politely.
The boy looked up. He looked about 12 years old, with dark hair and black eyes. He was wearing a black suit that looked like it was from the Victorian age with a greyish black skull ornament in the suit pocket instead of a flower.
"Hey you look really familiar." Bob asked, he has failed to notice that the portrait of the two Coldstone siblings were not inside the picture.
The boy gulped, hoping that Bob didn't see through her façade.
"Are you internet famous?" Bob asked with a grin.
"What on earth is 'internet'?" the boy asked.
"Oh right! I know who you are! You're that kid who sits behind me in Biology class!" Bob guessed.
"Yes! I'm uh…Blaek Skullington." The boy came up with a fake alias.
"I'm Bob! What brings you here?" Bob introduced himself. that was when the doors shut itself automatically as the doors bolted and locked.
"What was that?" Bob asked, feeling nervous.
"The wind." Blake lied, taking out a box (which Cody misplaced the last time they went inside the nursery). "Hey do you want to see this lovely ornament here?"
Blake opened up, revealing a black skull.
"It looks scary." Bob gulped, starting to regret coming in. he didn't notice that the mirror opposite him only reflected his own reflection while there was no 'Blake' inside the reflection.
"Touch it. if you do, this will grant your greatest wish." Blake insisted.
"But my teachers said we shouldn't be touching that." Bob remembered how Cody told him not to touch anything.
"Come on, touch it, and it will grant your greatest desires." Blake persuaded as he was running out of patience. He pushed the skull into Bob's arms.
The moment Bob made physical contact with the skull, the boy beside him fused into Bob. Moments later, Bob open up his eyes, instead of the regular shade of blue eyes, it was now replaced with dark crimson red.
"Great work Black Skull, at least now we can start our plans to over throw the kingdom." Zachary clapped his hands in impress.
"Now, I want you to pass this skull on to anyone you see. Anyone who touches it will become our immediate slave." Isabella instructed.
"One more thing: Skullington? I mean, seriously? Your name is a dead giveaway to our identities!" Zachary raised his eyebrow at Bob.
"I panicked, okay?!" Bob replied shrugging. "The last time we tried this on the king's guards it involved us almost being killed by a mob!"
"Just leave, the next person who comes by here will be possessed by Serpentina." Isabella waved at Bob, gesturing him to leave.
"Are you ssssure thissss idea would work, Mistressss?" a serpent with yellow scales and lime green eyes asked, coiling up the study table.
"It has to, Tina. Remember what those monsters did to our families? Our friends? Our beloved Aunt Irene?!" Isabella reminded them. "Remember how we watched our dear friends die in front of us while those savages murdered them one by one?! Serpentina, remember how your sister ended her life after those cruel drunk Normo solders violated her?!"
"I'll never forget those beasts!" the serpent hissed in anger.
All of her immortal friends went silent. They remembered what lives were like back then when people would hunt and murder Supers, one by one. Hatred and angst started to fill up their minds and push away all their their doubts.
"Are you with me, we have to avenge those mortals for what they had done to us!" Isabella asked again, as her friends nodded.
"Count me in!" two rats nodded. One boy and one girl.
"Me too!" a vial of black gas shouted.
"Nice work, but we all need to find and host a mortal body." Zachary reminded.
"Since there will be a number of mortals here on Halloween, we can trap them in here and kill them." Isabella told them with a sinister smile.
"I like the way you think, sister." Zachary nodded as the immortals all cackled evilly.
Bob went downstairs. His eyes turned back into his normal blue shades.
"Bob! Where were you?!" Bree asked.
"You had us worried sick!" Skylar added, crossing her arms.
"I'm sorry, I was lost earlier." Bob replied.
"Uh something is wrong with you Bob." Adam asked suspiciously, before breaking into a grin. "I got it! you just gained another pound!"
"AD!" Sakura growled at Adam. "don't be rude to Bob!"
"Uh…yeah!" Bob nodded. "I guess I took a nap just now and forgot!"
Meantime…
Tracy Li was browsing through every book she could find in the library, although she borrowed some books from the haunted mansion, she still couldn't figure out why Isabella went mad at Normos.
"This doesn't make any sense, I can't really figure out about all those strange dreams I've been having." She grumbled in frustration as she scratched her hair.
"Tracy? What are you doing here in the library?" a voice asked as she bolted up from her seat.
"H-hey Kavan!" Tracy waved nervously at Kavan. "I was just doing some research."
"Well it's good to know that." Kavan nodded. "Can I help you with anything?"
"Actually I was wondering if you'd have a book about the Supers vs Normos war? It's just I've been really into history lately." Tracy came up with a lie.
"Hhm…well I do have some books in the restricted section, we're not really allowed to go there. But since we're close friends, I guess I could make you an exception." Kavan shrugged.
"Thanks, Kav!" Tracy fist bumped Kavan.
"Okay, let's see what we have here." She found a few ancient books about the Supers and Normos War.
She took out one huge book and searched for the war between Normos and Supers.
The first Supers and Normos war began in the late of 18th century. There was once a small town near the edge of a kingdom.
One day, a young witch moved in the land as a healer. It is said that a witch with a beautiful appearance deceived a young son of a very powerful noble family with a love spell. The witch had beauty far fairer than all lovely maidens in the land, with eyes as blue as the crystal blue ocean and hair as red as blood.
A priestess later discovers about the witch's powers and exposed the witch's identity to the townsfolk. By the time the priestess discovered this, the witch was no longer around the town. Outraged and felt deceived, the townsfolk went to the nobleman's family to confront them about the maiden (witch) their son was seeing.
And so began the witch hunt, several years later the nobleman's son met the witch again. However, he lured her into a trap and she was publically confronted by the one man she loved dearly. The nobleman's family decided that the witch should be publically burnt in the center of the town.
By the time word spread about the witch's death, many of her kind were outraged that Normos had murdered an innocent woman. And so the war began.
She browsed through Isabella's diary again. She was troubled by the fact the book belonged to a dead person (a dead, angry, vengeance-seeking, mentally unstable person). She flipped through some pages and discovered some letters inside.
To Irene Coldstone,
Coldstone Orphanage For Children,
Mansion 613,
28 Suite Street,
13 Kingsbury Avenue (Now known as Aurodon Avenue).
Gaining curiosity, Tracy open up the letter.
The first letter was written to Irene by her much older sister, Ira. It was about Ira's first time leaving hometown to become a healer. Since her family are blessed with special abilities, Ira was blessed with the ability to control plants and a healer of sorts.
The second letter was bout Ira falling in love with a handsome man, whom she described with 'charming golden hair' and 'eyes as blue as the midnight sky'. Much to Tracy's disgust though, but it seemed sweet.
The third letter began with Ira running away from her lover after discovering she was pregnant. She was afraid of what her lover would think if he knew she was pregnant with their child. Ira moved back to her sister for the next few years.
The last letter was written as a will or something, it was about Ira telling Irene that it was time for her to tell her lover that she had born him 2 children: one daughter and one son. Ira wanted her sister to keep her children safe and wait for her return to move in with their birth father.
There were a few pictures: one was a picture of two sisters. The oldest had strawberry blonde hair that looked almost blood red with bright blue eyes, the younger had short wavy dark hair with chocolate brown eyes.
'I'm guessing this 'Ira' must be Irene's sister.' Tracy thought as she flipped the page and saw a portrait of a woman with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes with a handsome man with blonde hair and green eyes beside her. 'and that man must be their father.'
Her eyes widen in shock and horror.
"Wait a second!" Tracy searched for the book of ancient history and compared the picture.
"WHAT THE HECK?!" She exclaimed loudly before Kavan shushed her.
"Sorry." She whispered back before looking at the book.
"N-no way!" she gulped, checking the pictures all over again. "It can't be. Ira is Irene's sister, and if Irene is their aunts, that means Ira is their birth mother."
'If Isabelle found out about her birth father, she and Zachary would find him and probably hope for a family reunion.' Tracy thought as she read another journal entry.
19th September 1923
Age: 20, Zachary's age- 17
Alas, after wondering and thinking about our birth parents for ages, I have found the missing link to my past. Zachary and I managed to find Aunt Irene's letters from our mother, and a few…interesting information.
We went to our grandparents' home. It was grand and massively large.
I thought it would have been a perfect sanctuary for the younger orphans.
We knocked the doors before a man with blonde hair answered.
"Good day, young man and young lady, I'm Duke Clifford. How may I help you weary travelers?" he had blonde hair. Our blonde hair.
For the first time in years, I actually felt…happy and glad to finally meet my birthfather.
"Hello father." Zachary greeted.
"Father?" Father wondered.
"DADDY! DADDY!" A few children came running over and hugged father.
"Duke, who is it my love?" a middle aged woman came out. I recognized her from the letters and description from my mother's letters. SHE is the same PRIESTESS who MURDERED MY MOTHER!
"Paulette, I have no idea who these people are." Father went to that woman.
"You better know us, please, father. We're your flesh and blood!" Zachary and I confronted.
"No way…you're Ira's children." His eyes widen in horror, before he kept a calm expression on his face.
"Ira, yes, the very same woman who loved you so. And what did you do? Stab her in the back with that old nun!" Zachary barked, glaring at the priestess.
"She was a witch! An impure soul with an evil desire in her heart!" The priestess glared back.
"All we ever ask for is to call us your children." I looked at father.
"I don't have any children with Ira!" he snapped back coldly. "She's the one who casted a spell on me and bewitched my thoughts."
"Now leave this place, or I will call the guards!" The other woman warned.
"Zachary," I looked at my brother as he bolted the doors and windows tight.
We tied up the family in the living room. I sharpened my knife and aimed it at the children.
"NOT THEM! SPARE THEM PLEASE!" Paulette begged us, how pathetic.
"You should have thought about that when you killed my mother." I chuckled darkly. "Zachary, my brother, I think I'm in the mood for…burning livestock."
Tracy started to think about the possibilities, since one of the journal entries was about Isabella and Zachary confronting an old priestess before murdering her.
"The same way the priestess did the same to their mother." She thought.
After getting rid of the priestess, we went to visit father in his cell.
"You monsters! You killed my children and my wife!" He yelled at us.
"They didn't even wanted to fight back." Zachary laughed in a cold sinister tone.
"What si it you really wanted?!" he asked.
"For you to call us your own children." I replied.
"I would never call you my children, you two are a couple of insane lunatic siblings without a father!" he yelled at us. "I had a family!"
"Unlike them, Zachary and I would actually die for you!" I shouted at father.
"Since you took away something precious to me, I'll take away something even more precious to you two. Myself!" he shouted as he grabbed a sword and aimed at his heart.
"NOOO!" Zachary and I cried out. Our father would rather die than admit that we're his children. This is crueler than anything I've ever been through!
Tracy slammed the books shut.
"Wow, that's a lot of twisted stuff! I have to tell the other's about this!" Tracy bolt up from her seats, kept her belongings and dashed out of the library.
Purpledolpin05: Bam what?! Did anyone expected that coming? Things are starting to get really interesting! Judging by how dark things might get, the ratings might change
Leo: make sure to fave, follow, review or PM your ideas.
Tracy: Question of the chapter- what did you think of Isabella's schemes? Poor Bob, he's the first sacrifice. What did you think of Isabella's parents' backstory? Did anyone liked Isabella's journal entry (even though it was based on Jafar's backstory from 'Once Upon A Time')?
All: That's all for now. Please leave a review and tell us what you think. Bye!
