~Chapter 12: Deaths Galore~
'"Nuh uh! I'm not going there! Excuse me, but I don't want to die today!" screeched Pete as he was dragged by Shoredum and Crystal. Crystal glared through her glasses. Boy, did she hate them; they blocked her vision more than helped. She growled as he thrashed, throwing bone-chilling snow on her face. The girl felt it bite her cheeks with a cold sting. Wiping it off, she pushed her glasses up her nose as they started to slide off. She swore that this week was going to be hell in more ways than one. Pulling on the young adult's leg with effort, they both hauled the man along. "You're acting like a kid,"mocked the tween, suddenly grabbing a handfull of snow and tossing it at her older brother's face. "I'm sorry, MOTHER," spat Pete,"If I want to see another sun!" Crystal flinched. She was still sensitive on the death of their parents. "SHUT IT," she hissed through gritted teeth, pulling on his leg harder. Shoredum watched them in dismay; he didn't want them fighting. "What if I don't? What are ya going to do about it?" "Just rip out your guts and stuff them in your throat." "I'd like to see you try,"sneered the young adult as he twisted and 's when the full out war began. Crystal leaped on top of Pete and tugged on his hair. Hard. Screaming a rather girlish scream, he started pummeling her with his legs. She bit down on his arm in response. Blood started seeping into the ground as they battled on, scaring their little brother badly. Crystal started to hit all flesh she could find, bruising Pete everywhere. Pete did the same to the girl.
A sudden cry was heard. Both stopped and looked at Shoredum. He was on the snowy floor, a purple spot beginning to form on his cheek. Tears streamed down his face as he cried pitifully in sorrow and fear. "Shoredum," cried Crystal as she let go of her bite. The little boy squeked in horror as he saw his sister's blood stained teeth(Tooth cried a bit at this). Rushing away, he ran into the bushes. Squaking in fear for her brother, she ran after him. Pushing the branches away from her face, the girl leaped from tree root to tree root to get to her her bro in time before he rushed to his doom. "Shore, WAIT,"she panted as she felt the sharp thorns of brambles dig into her legs. Crystal ignored it. Just a few feet from the village, she spotted him sobbing uncontrolably as he ran foward. In her last effort to stop him, she tackled him to the ground, grabbing his legs. "Go-o a-a-away,"he whimpered, curling in on himself to look smaller,"You're not m-my s-sister!" She knew that he captured the attention of some people from his outburst. Crystal had to get him to calm down. She could think of only one thing; her mother's lullaby. She began to sing softly:
"Hush, little lamb, don't you weep,
The darkness is comforting when you go to sleep,
Hush, little lamb, don't you whimper,
Enjoying sweet dreams is so much simpler,
Hush, little lamb, start counting sheep,
And that will send you in the haven of sleep,
Hush, little lamb, nightmares can't get you here,
When your family is so close and near,
Hush, little lamb, the twinkling stars are above you,
Wishing a good fortune or two on you,
Hush, little lamb, your family is right by your side,
Making all the scary dreams go and hide,
Hush, little lamb, please don't squirm,
For peaceful sleep is something you should learn,
Hush, little lamb, for your family is near,
And the morrow is going to be bright and clear."
Shoredum hugged Crystal. She looked at him tenderly and held him close. The siblings had their little moment together before letting go. "Lets go before the locals come,"whispered the girl, pulling the little up into a stand. "Too late," rang out a voice as a pair of hands shot out and grabbed them both by the scruff of their tattered shirts. Crystal gasped as she looked into the eyes of a Red Coat. They were caught.
~LINE BREAK~
Pete followed the tracks of his siblings in a hurry; he had heard a scream. Dodging trees and brambles, he reached his destination and saw his siblings squirm in the arms of several guards. In shock and anger, he shot out and tackled the first guard in his sight. His response to his attack was being shot in the lung. Pete stood in shock before collapsing to the ground. He could hear one of the guards growl,"Anyone who tries to help him will get shot down, understood?" No one argued with them except his two precious siblings that were shook fiercly. The young adult coughed and wheezed as everyone left him to die in the winter's cold. 'No doubt Shore and Crystal are next,' thought Pete bitterly as touched the blood that was streaming out of the hole in his chest, staining the snow like the other wounds did. It felt cold to the touch, like his heart felt now. He felt bitterness to the guards, to the king of England, and especially to himself. 'I...failed...' were his last thoughts as he sunk into death's arms.
~LINE BREAK~
"YOU JERKS! YOU KILLED HIM!" screamed Crystal as she was dragged to watch her little brother have the same fate as Pete. Thrashing, she tried to pummel the Red Coat as he watched her bro being tied to the wooden stake that would soon be lit on fire. Eyes lit in cold fury, she spat out her hate to the world as she watched her ex-friends crowd around the tying in sadistic glee. All of the villagers were going to watch Shore's execution. She hissed as she was back-handed by the officer. "Shut up,"he barked in her face, breath stinking of achol,"It's about to start!" Crystal saw a lit torch decending upon the stake of wood. Fire crackled and twisted, accepting the offering quickly, consuming her brother. "NOOOOOO!" she yelled out. Crystal was released. Rushing into the flame with her brother, she grabbed desperatly at the rope and tugged. And tugged and tugged and tugged and tugged until a snap was heard. The rope was broken but the bodies had burned, all for love. Crystal's body was smoking when she dropped out of the flame, a look of love and hate etched on the remains of her face...
~LINE BREAK~
The girl twisted and screamed as the memory supplied the pain. It felt like liquid fire was pouring into her veins, surging around, hammering her body with scalding pain. Her writhing slowed to a stop as the memory ended, leaving Cupula gasping for air. The rest gulped; it was one of their turns next...
