First off I want to say an extreme I am sorry for the document mistake last week and to make up for it I will be posting I two, on today and one tomorrow. So so sorry, I only realised when I went too check. I will try post another one soon to make up for what happened. Please continued reading.
Cassie sat in her bed shaking, her blanket wrapped around her tightly. None of the other girls were awake at this time of night, when the moon was thigh in the sky no one was ever awake but her. She wanted to see her brother, but even at the age of three she knew that it wasn't aloud. Miss Bell patrolled the halls each night looking for any children that weren't smart enough to be asleep. She still remembered the screams that came from the basement the night one of the older girls went to check on her little brother and was caught. After that she wouldn't move for days she was in too much pain. But she couldn't take it, she wanted to see Hunter. Slowly she slid her legs over the side of the bed and stood up. She was really cold without her blanket but it would make to much noise. Her thin and tattered dress hung off her frame and only went down to her knees. Walking over to the door she held her arms around her body for warmth even though she knew that it would have little effect. Slowly she turned the handle on the door and peeped out to see if Miss Bell was there, the boys room was just down the hall. She opened the door all the way not seeing any sign of the old lady and begun running. Behind her she could hear the sound of approaching foot steps and begun running faster. As she got to the door she felt her foot snag in something and fell head first into the floor letting out a small cry as she did. Cassie felt a light hit her and no sooner then it had was she Miss Bell standing over the top of her with an evil smile.
"Well what have we here?" The woman asked picking up Cassie by the scruff of her dress. "It seems a little girl is out of her bed." The woman began walking away a smirk on her face, her eyes wide in pleasure. She dragged Cassie behind her laughing a little as she walked. When they got to the stairs, Miss Bell stopped and turned to look her in the eyes. "It seems you need a little trip to the basement to remember the rules of this house."
Cassie begun screaming and flailing trying to get away from her. "Please no!" She screamed. Kicking her legs and arms around trying to get free.
"Why would I do that, naughty children need to learn a lesson." Cassie continued to scream and cry. Soon they reached the basement, or more of a dungeon like place. Cassie's dress ripped and she fell to the floor with a thump. Then Miss Bell grabbed her by the wrists and locked her into cuffs that hung from the stone wall so that her now bare stomach was against the wall and her back was facing the old lady.
Cassie was able to turn her head enough to see the woman pull out a large whip that had red blood blotches already on it. Her eyes widened at the sight of it and she once again tried to break free. "Please no!" She screamed.
She was answered by a loud cracking that seemed to linger in the air and the pain of leather cutting through the skin on her back like a knife. She felt the blood run down her back and begin to dry in hey he cold of the night. Cassie screamed out in pain, her energy being drained by the second. "Only 19 more to go and every time you talk five more will be added." The old woman said through the pain, before cracking her whip against Cassie's bare flesh once more.
After the fifteenth time she felt her vision fade and her screams were dulled to near silence. When the final crack of her whip was done, Miss Bell unlocked the cuffs and Cassie fell to the floor in a puddle of her own blood. Pain coursed though her body and she only had enough energy to cry bad curl into a ball.
Normal world.
Hunter placed an arm around his sister and tried to comfort her. "You will never see it again. Please snap out of this." He said trying to stop the tears from falling from his own eyes. He hated seeing her in pain, she was the only person that he truly cared about, and seeing her in pain made his whole body hurt. Lord death, Stein and death scythe ran over to see what was wrong. Death Scythe bent down to see what was wrong concern written all over her face.
"What happened?" Lord Death asked.
"She has a perfect memory, and when ever someone mentions… That she remembers it all over again." He looked back to his sister trying to get her back to her normal happy self.
"what's that?" Stein asked, placing a hand on Cassie's shoulder as her breathing became more rabid.
"The… The… The whip." He broke down in tears trying to tell them. As he cried into his hands he remembered what Cassie had said when he went berserk on Soul. It was worth a shot. "Wake up." He whispered into her ear. After a few second her breathing returned to normal and she raised her head from her arms.
"what happened?" The rest of the beings in the room looked a little astounded. She had just snapped out of it like that.
"Nothing much," Hunter said helping his sister to her feet and Stein pulling up the IV drip. He sent the others in the room a look saying, don't say anything.
"Oh yes I would like you guys to meet my son Death the Kid." Lord Death said calling his son in. The two turned around to see a boy about there age with straight raven hair that flicked up at the end, and three white stripes on one half of his head. He wore a black Tux that had several white lines on it and a tie around his neck that was held in place by a skull pin.
"Yes father," the boy said. So this was death the kid.
"Hey Kiddo, these are the weapons I was telling you about and I would like you to show them around the campus for the next week. They will both be in your class after all." Lord death walked between the twins and with chipper voice pointed to the twins in turn saying there names. "This is Cassie and this is Hunter, there silver twin swords."
At those words Kids eyes grew in size, shock written on his face. "Rare, and twins at that." He smiled and nodded his head, "Well I would like to welcome you to the DWMA. I hope…" Kid didn't get to finish, instead he fell to his knees and his eyes begun to sparkle. His mouth was upturned into a large smile and he held his hands as if he were praying. "Perfect symmetry!" He exclaimed. "Its perfect symmetry!" He shouted, before standing again and staring at the pair before him.
"Did he just say?" Hunter begun.
"Perfect symmetry," they said together before breaking out in laughter. Cassie grabbing her chest where she was impaled the night before, and grasping as she tried not to laugh, because it caused her pain.
All in the room gave them weird looks and Kid stopped his admiring for a second to ask them a question. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, your just like a girl we used to know." Cassie said covering her mouth with her hand. Cassie got a good vibe from this guy, he seemed nice.
"She had a severe case of OCD, everything had to be perfect." Hunter smiled at the memory.
"well then," Kid said satisfied with the answer given. "We should get back to the infirmary and make sure you get rested." He walked out of the room completely forgetting the others in the room. Cassie and Hunter waved before running after Kid dragging the IV drip behind them. When they finally caught up to him he had a satisfied smile on his face but made no attempt to start a conversation. In the end it was Cassie that broke the silence.
"Where will we be living?" She asked.
"I expect you will be staying at Gallows Manor with me and my weapons." He answered placing a hand on his chin in thought. "Anyway I will be coming back tomorrow to show you to your classroom."
"Tomorrow?" They said together.
He smiled. "Well I have a feeling you don't like hospitals and you are just such perfect symmetry that I would only be right to help you." As he finished they arrived at the infirmary and were about to enter when a hand was placed on each of the twins shoulder.
"Hi," I perky voice said from behind them. They turned quickly to see two girls with blonde hair standing there. They both got into fighting stances and stared at the girls accusingly.
"Woah, woah hold it we won't hurt you." The taller one said sweat dropping.
"Liz, Patty? What you two doing here?" Kid asked, looking very surprised.
"Well we got told you were coming to check out some new weapons." Liz said.
"What ever, these guys are my weapons. Liz and Patti, these guys are Hunter and Cassie, twin silver swords."
"Impressive." Liz said swinging an arm around Cassie's shoulder. "Nice to meet you." She smiled and Cassie nearly laughed when she saw her brothers cheeks redden a little.
"Yay! Yay, new friends!" Patti screamed clapping and jumping up and down. The twins shared a look. That was the first time that they had ever been called a friend to someone. Maybe this school would be good for them.
