Welcome to chapter 5.
I own nothing.
Alex P.O.V:
"I don't want to!" I complain.
"But your the only one who can get the money." Kass says calmly.
"Fine." I growl, walking from the tree line into the shed sized bank.
"How can I help you." the monotonous man at the counter says.
"I am here to collect the Van Tassel fortune." I say in an equal monotone. The banker laughs in my face.
"Sorry, there are no living descendants of Van Tassel blood alive." he says, criticizing my word. I pull out the key to my locket and unlock it.
"Look at the symbol on the blanket." I tell him, pointing to the Van Tassel crest on the blanket. The rude banker just stared in shock at the picture, his smirk wiped from his face.
"The fortune!" I snap, losing my patience. He quickly released the locket and disappeared into a back room. He came out with 3 bags off money.
"Is that all mine?" I ask, one bag was almost up to my hip.
"No, there's more in the back." he said. He made 2 more trips, grabbing 3 more bags each time.
"This is all. Here is a piece of paper the last Van Tassel gave to us to give to whatever Van Tassel collects the money." He said, handing me the note. I drag the money, with help from Ian (who I dragged inside), to an area where no one could see us.
"This is all ours?! There's so much." Ian says after we got all the money.
"I know." I sigh.
"Need help." Moony says, walking up to us.
"Sure. Where's Kass?" I ask her.
"He can't come into town, for fear someone might know who he is." Moony says, I could tell she was quoting the excuse he gave her.
"Other words, he's too lazy to come and help." Ian corrects.
"Pretty much." Moony nods. We drag the money to the border of the Western Woods, where Kass was waiting for us.
"Daredevil." I whistle. Daredevil trots to stand beside me. We strap the bags onto the saddle on the side. Daredevil just stood there as if we were putting feathers on him instead of heavy bags of money.
"Thank you boy." I whisper, petting his head.
"Let's get going." Kass says.
"How are we gonna get to the beach house again?" Ian asks sheepishly.
"You 4 shall ride in the vehicle that brought you here, Daredevil and me will ride in the woods near the road, out of sight." Kass explains.
"How can Daredevil go that far with all that weight?!" I ask.
"We are dead, we aren't affected by things like that." Kass says simply.
"I'm not going to question anything." Moony sighs.
As we load everything onto the bus, I see feet sticking out from under the bus. Looking underneath I find David asleep.
'He hid under the bus?!' I thought, glaring at him. Kicking him awake with a start, he crawled out from under the bus.
"I'm glad you're okay," he whispers, suffocating me with brotherly affection.
"What happened?" Quickly I explain to him everything I could. He looked doubtful but nodded his approval for my sake. We all took a seat as Ian started driving the bus. The silence was deafening among us. Looking out the window I could sometimes see Kass on Daredevil, easily keeping pace with the bus.
Everything from there was a blur. All I know is we arrived at our homes and pack up everything we need. We got back on the bus and David drove as long as he could till night fall. We decided on pulling over on the side of the road and sleeping on the bus seats for the night.
When I woke up, I had one big surprise waiting for me.
Reviews are loved.
