yo! so, last chapter was a non-related, banter filled... thing. I dont like it that much actually.
but this.
this.
this is what makes the story dark, you heard Grays story right? well, heres Natsus! long ass chapter XD good thing too.
It kind of focuses on Rose and Natsus relationship, as twins, and... well, I think I gave Rose a brother complex... ah... well, it was an accident at first and then it fit her personality AND the next chapter so I thought 'why the fuck not? she can love natsu all she wants!' and... yeah.
I like there relationship honestly.
I may write more on their story in a later chapter if you want but I doubt you'll need more than this. The darkness!
you'll understand the P.O.V at the end!
I don't own fairytale
Its story time kids! And what is the story? It's the story of Natsu and Rose! And be fully warned, this isn't going to be a nice story, it's definitely not a bedtime story, we don't want you having nightmares do we? Well, how should I start...? ah yes, like all stories shall start. Are you comfortable? Then, let's begin shall we?
The day was completely normal, sunny clear skies, bird songs filling the air like a back in track. Natsu was eating with his sister, Rose, the smell of toast and melted butter over run the room forcing hunger upon the two. So, it was a completely normal day. Saturday if you want to go into detail. The seven year olds were enjoying their time off school with an early start, they made breakfast for their mum and dad, because they were good children (they might have wanted a bit more pocket money but that's a secret, shh).
The sky outside was full of swirls of orange, scarlet and baby blue as the sun awoke. It was already humid at the time 6:00am and it would be completely silent if it wasn't for the twins tired muttering. You could say they weren't built for mornings; Natsu actually attacked the alarm clock on its tenth beep. 'Served it right, nobody refuses dragneel sleep.' Natsu thought to himself with crossed arms and an irritated frown.
An hour later the twin's parents walked down in fluffy dressing gowns to the smell of toast, beans, eggs and bacon courtesy of their children. After a few stretches and yawns the parents gave the twins a grateful well done before tucking in before work in half an hour, well aware that the two would want something in return but, oh well, food is food.
And after that family meal they did, indeed, set off for work. The two siblings didn't actually know the job of their parents, but they knew it was high pay and took up a lot of time. Sometimes at night Natsu heard his dad cursing but Rose would just laugh it off and tell him it's nothing so he wouldn't leave their shared room. She promised mum she wouldn't let him leave the room after 10pm because they were working, and of course she kept her promise, she was a dragneel was she not?
Anyhow, in complete obliviousness of their parents where about and activities they were alone in the rather large house. What to do, usually they would just watch TV and eat but there was a black out that was supposed to last for a day, according to the man on the phone. So they were in quite the predicament, for about ten minutes that is.
Nock-nock. Two heavy slams to the door sounded. Rose looked at her pink haired brother quite protectively, she wasn't supposed to open the door, but she had a feeling Natsu would... well, open the door. And so he did, skipping (boyishly of course) he made his way to the door. The boy peered through the opaque window at the dark shadow that loomed in front of his house. Rose sighed and made her way to the door, following her unique haired brother obediently.
As Rose found her way to her twin the gold painted metal handle was twisted slowly by the curious boy. 'We almost never get visitors, I wonder who it is?' the boy thought. With a tug of the door two men were revealed, secretly Rose thought that the older of the two were pig ugly, but it wasn't polite to say that so she just nervously whispered a 'hello'.
The more horrifying looking one spat and turned to the other. The other, thought to be the assistant by Rose, mumbled something along the lines of 'bill, it's the kids, what shall we do?' kind of worried. The boss chuckled (and then coughed) lighting a cigarette "do you know nothing Nathan? We ask if we can come in," 'Bill' said with a croaky voice.
Natsu stared at the two beaming. 'Maybe they could be our friends!' the boy thought. He had always been with Rose, they never had anyone else, and Rose said they didn't need then every time he asked why. They were home schooled and they weren't allowed out of the house in case they were naughty, well that's what daddy said, and daddy was always right.
Rose had a blank face; she was ready to push Natsu out the way if anything happened.
The younger man nodded at his boss and turned to Natsu "can we come in? We're your mummy's and daddy's colleagues," he said with an innocent voice and a sweet voice. As he did Rose scowled at the older one noting a red stain on his gray jumper which was hidden by a jet black leather jacket. Then she rolled her eyes and turned to her 'sweet young girl' act and said "please come in!" though she never felt so stupid in her life. They made it clear they didn't want Natsu, so it's fine; it's all fine as long as Natsu was okay, right?
The men nodded and walked into the living room, the younger one, 'Nathan', tussled the twins hair with a smile as he followed his boss into the cream coloured room. Rose held her brothers hand.
"What's up sis?" Natsu asked surprised at his sibling.
"Nothing, just felt like hand holding, you know?" she smiled innocently, reassuring herself they wanted her parents, and her parents are good with people like this, she saw her dad had a gun once, he said it was a toy gun but she isn't an idiot, she even knew the brand of the damn thing.
Natsu shrugged his sister's behaviour off like everything else. She was always very close to Natsu and protective, she hugged him when he fell, told him bedtime stories and held him when he cried at the storms anger. He would do the same for her though she never seemed to get upset, scared or do anything clumsy enough to feel pain. So holding his hand is kind of a relief, 'she must be nervous of meeting new people, time to play the brother role!' he thought in pride.
He clutched her hand and brought them into the living room. They both sat on the cream leather couch parallel to the two... thug like figures, and while Natsu was bracing a smile Rose held a scowl as she examined the appearances of their guests.
The older one, 'Bill', was slightly overweight and full of wrinkles like a piece of thrown away paper, he had the skin colour of that too. His hair was a dark brown comb over with silver streaks to match his sloppy attempt of a beard. And his smoking habit was made obvious by a yellow tint in his eyes, nails and teeth. His eyes were a dusty shade of gray and he had shaved his eyebrows off, leaving a silver patch.
'Nathan' on the other hand was young with a pink tinted skin tone. His dirty blond hair was messy but presentable and his eyes resembled a doll. His features were quite feminine, like his jaw and eyelashes.
Both had black, woolly gloves on.
You wouldn't have guessed the two knew each other.
Rose dug her face into her brother's arm and mumbled "what is your business then?"
The men exchanged looks and then the younger worker said, with quite a sad and guilty face "we just want to talk is all, uh, so how are you related? Cousins?"
Rose hid her scowl so they didn't get suspicions but 'humph'-ing and looking away. Natsu shook his head un-intently ignoring his twins' annoyance. "We're twins, isn't it obvious?"
Of course Natsu thought it was obvious, he wasn't aware of how much they did not act like brother and sister. Siblings were meant to fight, not hold hands. Well, they were brought up like this to make sure they didn't trust anyone else, and on Rose's part it was working, but on her brothers... well, it just meant he wanted to see the outside even more. He had dreams, unlike his sister, the boy wasn't aware of his path being set out for him, the obstacles banished from the race Corse, his family thought of him as innocent, it was refreshing.
But Natsu thought it was all normal.
Nathan stuttered "I-I... well, I guess that's why your together..." he explained to himself. And then his boss hit him upside the head "of course they're twins! Don't you see the trust in their eyes? Ya dolt."
The atmosphere was bitter for three out of the four. Rose and Bill were having a staring and scowling contest, Natsu and Nathan were getting along like best friends despite their differences, and it was like that for three hours. And then Rose got annoyed.
"well, it seems it might be an all nighters for mum and dad!" she said standing and stretching, her ribboned skirt fluttering in the process.
"is that so little girl?" the boss laughed "well I suppose we will have to stay all night,"
Nathans colour went "B-boss... isn't that... well, weird?" he asked. Rose rather liked Nathan, he was smarter than that idiot Bill. She narrowed her ocean blue eyes.
"hey Natsu, why don't you show Nathan our photo album?" the girl suggests, Natsu nodded eagerly and Nathan got her point, he was then dragged away by a loving boy leaving Rose and bill on their own.
But hey, we've focused a lot on Rose haven't we? Let's follow Natsu for a while.
The young boy clutches his new friend's wrist and drags him into his and his sisters shared room. The room was painted red, the twin's favourite colour, and was scattered with toys on the boys side. The walls were covered in pictures of the two, always together, sometimes with their mum and dad, Nathan secretly found the two a bit weird, but that's a good thing most of the time! Right?
Natsu stood on his bed to reach a large book from the wooden shelf secured to the wall. Some of the books threatened to fall but steadied as Natsu jumped on his bed, landing sat down next to Nathan who was actually interested to see what his 'clients' looked like.
After five minutes of Natsu showing their family album he made himself (insert proud grin) and pointing to eatch person and stating their relation to him. Nathan found that the family had a dog, grandparents that had now gone to 'sleep' and he was sad to find the lack of friends in the photos. Not once had the pink haired boy pointed to a face and said 'that's my best friend!' or 'he/she came for tea one day'. It was in the middle of those thoughts a deafening girly shriek filled the house and echoed in his ears. The sound was almost heartbreaking.
Natsus eyes widened fearfully "R-Rose?" he stuttered.
Nathan mumbled 'shit' before taking a gun from his jacket and running down stairs. Natsu followed in a panic seconds later wondering why his new friend had a toy gun 'adults don't play with toys do they?'.
When he walked in he saw his sister lying on the wooden floor boards with a crimson liquid dripping between her fingers, clutching her pail arm with tears in her eyes, letting a warning for Natsu leave her lips in a whisper "run!"
"S-shit boss, what the fuck have you done?" Nathan asked angrily, though not helping the girl.
"She was being a nosy bitch, now get the boy, they'll only become heirs to the gang anyway, we'll take them it, right?" Bill said with a hoarse laugh.
"Like hell I'm working for you, Natsu! Get out of here!" the girl twin sobbed, attempting to stand and then sitting back again when pain overloaded her frail body. Nathan got Natsu. He mimed a 'sorry' to the boy before bringing the butt of his gun to the boys head and hitting it on the side of his head, hard enough to cause scarlet streaks to appear in his pink hair. Natsu collapsed. Rose streaked and crawled to her brother whose eyes were shut, he was passed out.
"You basteds!" she shrieked to the man who held the weapon that caused her brothers faint state.
"I'm sorry," Nathan said before reaching into his pocket s and taking a rope out of his leather pocket.
So the parents won't be suspicious the mafia members locked the doors and left one window open, they were planning on shutting it after they left by attaching a string to the windows handle and pulling it shut before removing the string. No fingerprints will be left as of their gloves, no evidence will be left, if anything the police would blame the petty kids.
Speaking of the Dragneel twins, they were both tied up (over the fabric of their clothes to restrict rope burn, that could be shown as evidence) the boy still out cold and the girl stroking her twins hair, waiting for him to wake up, she plans to tell him it's all okay and it's a surprise party for mummy and daddy, he's innocent enough to believe that right?
Both men had guns out, Bill also had a knife in his left hand. So they were ready for when the lock clinked with keys unlocking it. Ready for when they walked in and saw their children tied up. Ready for the gun shots fired at them. Not ready for Rose to stand up, the ropes undone, and grab the guns from them both.
But they had a plan B. Rose was a child, mature or not she could not fire a bullet, they knew that. And as the mother put away the gun to check on the boy who was slowly coming too, Bill raised the blade is his hand and forced it into the father's skin, into the back of his neck. The dads mouth filled with blood as his child cried out and he choked. The same happened to the mother.
Bill walked over to the crying girl who had dropped the weapons and fell to her knees, he forced the knife into her hand and whispered 'sweet dreams darling'.
And then it all went black.
Of course the pages of this story are untouched. It wasn't meant to be a story, see?
