Hell Yeah by Rev Theory
Give me a hell, give me a yeah,
Stand up right now,
And give me a hell, give me a yeah,
Stand up right now
I tried to ignore the gnarling feeling that was going ballistics in my stomach. I choked down the feeling of impending trouble and kept pacing in the kitchen. Tony would be fine, he just got sidetrack. That's what happens to little boys when they see something shiny or cool; they just chase after them and get lost. "That's it!" I mumbled lamely, "He got lost. He must of saw something that he wanted to check out. He got sidetrack and lost his way!"
I mentally groaned, "Come on, Leonora!" I snapped to myself, "Tony has gotten into worst situations…" I gave a terribly depressing chuckle, "I mean, vampires! He will be fine!"
I could hear my mom upstairs in her room, stomping and screaming whilst being on the phone screaming at the person on the other line. I began to jump in place before continuing my pace. "He wouldn't go anywhere…I mean…Oh! What am I trying to fool myself into!" I cried and threw myself into a kitchen chair, "We snuck out of the house the first week we were here to visit a family of vampires!" I mumbled to myself as the memory of Rudolph crashing into my brother's room raced through my mind.
"Where would he go!" Mom roared ferociously. I was tempted to pick up the phone that was in the kitchen to ease drop, but I decided against it. "He wouldn't go with a stranger!" Mom roared again with the same passion of anger as before. "Get home, NOW. You better have a militia with you when you get here!" She shrieked before slamming the phone down.
I flinched when I heard her quick footsteps stomping down the stairs, "LEONORA!" She screamed and turned into the kitchen, "Change into warm clothing and comfortable shoes. We will be looking for your brother when your father gets home." She snapped before storming away again.
I didn't move and listened to her slam the front door shut. I sighed and moved up to my room to change into an outfit that was fit for going on a hunt for Tony. "LEONORA!" Mom shouted again which caused me to jump, "What, Mom?" I yelled as I walked out of my room to the stairs. I looked down at my mother as I leaned over the balcony, "WHY did you let him out of your sight!" She screamed up to me.
I stared at her, debating if her question was a rhetorical or not. When I didn't answer she continued, "What is the matter with you?" Her face flushed with anger, "What made you think it was okay to let your nine year old brother out of your sight!" She hissed.
"Dottie!" I heard my father come storming through the front door with Frederick, Freda, Gregory, Rudolph, and Anna in tow. My mother looked at my father, tears falling rapidly down her flushed face, "Leonora, call a few of your friends, see if they can come help." Dad commanded me to do.
I nodded and retreated to my room and called Amelia, who immediately said yes to helping and said she would call Rafael. I sighed as a warm pair of arms wrapped themselves around my shoulders, "Are you okay?" Gregory whispered into my ear, holding my tight.
I stared at the roses and stuffed animals, "Yeah I'm okay." I said softly, "I need to see if Canada will come to help." I turned to face him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "I called someone else…I'm not too sure you are going to be happy about it…but I thought—" I cut his words off, "YOU CALLED IONA?" I screamed and pulled back slightly.
Gregory laughed slightly, "Yeahhhh."
I glared at him, "I want to kill you some days, you know." I said blankly as he kissed my forehead, laughing.
"LEONORA! GREGORY!" My mother's shrieking voice yelled, "GET DOWN HERE NOW!"
"The banshee has called, we must go to her…" I said boringly as I grabbed Gregory's arm and walked down stairs, leaning against him for support. "Tony will be fine!" Gregory said squeezing my hand.
When we got down stairs I saw all of the Sackville-bagg's, poor old McAston and two of his workers, Amelia and Rafael, and Iona who was standing off of to the side, looking extremely uncomfortable.
"Okay…" My dad started off, "Leonora, what happened when you were home with Tony?" Everyone's eyes turned to me.
"Well, I was in the kitchen with Canada, a friend from school—" Amelia cut me off, "I called her too, but she didn't answer. I called her like ten times." She said sadly. "Okay," I continued, "well, we were talking when Tony got him, so I had him introduce himself before he ran off to Rudolph's. Then he dropped his school bag, and ran out of the house."
"So he didn't say he was going anywhere else?" Freda asked calmly. I nodded, "No, he just said he wanted to get to your house."
"He was going to walk?" My mom asked.
"Yeah." I agreed, "He didn't ask for a ride. I didn't think about asking to give him one because I didn't see a problem in him walking to their house! He does it almost everyday, what made this day any different?"
"BECAUSE HE WENT MISSING OR KIDNAPED OR WORST!" My mother came at me with venom. I flinched back, as Gregory pulled me away from my distraught mother.
"Dottie, go to the bedroom." My dad glared at her, "Now."
"What?" My mom hissed and crossed her arms over her chest. "I said, go to the bedroom." Dad repeated calmly. My mom glared at him a minute longer before storming up to their bedroom.
"Anyway…" Dad began again, "When did your friend Canada leave?"
"A few minutes after." I shrugged; I wasn't complete sure what time she left at. Dad nodded, "Alright, Rudolph, do you know what route Tony takes to get to your house?"
"Yes, I do." Rudolph said bravely before quickly explaining the route to everyone.
"I think we should all walk the trail, then split up in the different areas to look for him. He couldn't have wondering off far." Frederick spoke up and glanced at my dad for agreement.
"Sounds good. Freda, would you mind staying here with Dottie?" Dad quickly asked. "Of course!" Freda smiled, "Come Anna." Freda went to walk up the stairs, but Anna protested, "I want to help find Tony, dearest!" She pouted.
"No." Her mother said shortly, "Now come." Freda waited for Anna to move towards the stairs. Anna gave a dramatic sigh before making her way to stairs, mumbling about the unfairness of it all.
"Let's break into groups: Leonora, you will be with Gregory and Iona." Dad glanced at me; it took even bit of strength in me not to show my disdain with this request, "Amelia and Rafael, you can tag along with them if you want." He added. "Now, Frederick, Rudolph, go with McAshton and his workers." All five of them nodded in agreement.
"I'll be on my own, we all have cell phones, for those of you who don't…stick with the ones who do. We don't need anyone else getting lost. Call if you need anything or find Tony. It's six now, let's try to find him by eight." Dad commanded.
We all broke into our groups and marched out through the front doors and began to walk the path that Tony took earlier that day. "I've called Canada again, she might know something, but she hasn't answered. I left her a voicemail and I texted her what was going on." Amelia said as she grabbed my hand. I nodded to show I was listening to her, but didn't open my mouth to answer.
"Okay, if I was Tony," Gregory stopped on the side of the street looking down the hillside towards the ocean, "Where would I go? What would distract me enough to run off?" We were ahead of everyone else.
I wondered off, walking down the hillside, "Love?" Gregory called out to me, "Where are you going?" I glanced behind me, "I'm just trying to see what Tony would of seen." I started to look around, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. "I don't think he came this way!" I called looking back up towards Gregory, Iona, Amelia, and Rafael, but they were gone.
I glared up in annoyance and began to climb up the hill; I saw that they had followed Iona to the other side of the road; Iona was pointing at dirt that was recently dug up, that went up the hillside. It looked like someone climbed up the hill.
I stepped up onto the street and walked over to them, "I think he climbed up here." Rafael said before he attempted to start the climb up. "Careful!" Amelia squeaked. Gregory followed right after him and disappeared over the top. "Do you see anything?" I called out to them.
"No!" They called out in unison. I crawled up the hillside, much to Amelia's dismay, and got a look for myself.
"I said I didn't see anything." Gregory lifted me onto the top. "I know, but I need to see for myself." I smiled apologetically. He smiled and kissed my cheek, he was acting strange, but it's because he doesn't want me to act like mother. I heard him and Rafael climb back down.
I kept walking forward; I had a feeling that I needed to keep walking. "Lenor'?" I heard Iona's voice from behind. "Leonora." I said simply as I turned to look at her, "Lee-nor-ah." I snapped.
"I'm sorry." Her accent had disappeared. "Um…I was supposed to give you this letter. I'm not sure whom it's from. I didn't read it…" She moved around nervously, "But I think it's suppose to do with Tony…" She held the letter out for me to take.
I glared at her and snatched the letter from her. I read through the letter at least three times, making sure I remembered everything. "Is this some kind of sick joke?" I hissed and glared at her.
She looked at me, panicked. "No!" She squeaked, "I didn't read it! I don't know who gave it to me! They were in a hoodie and they told me not to read it and make sure I gave it to you when you were alone!"
"This is NOT funny!" I replied in utter disgust, "Where is he!" I growled.
"I don't know! I'm sorry!" She began to look around.
"Sod off!" I hissed and turned and began to walk to where the letter told me to go, not bothering to glance at back at her. I needed to find Tony. He was in trouble.
