Grand Finale, Part 1

The Hatter Mansion was silent, with only the occasional bustling of Hatter workers moving about. Blood and Alice were both still snuggling in bed, wrapped around each other. Elliot was silently eating as many carrots as he could in his room. The Bloody Twins were both awake; polishing their weapons and hoping that the 'dumb bunny' wouldn't come and make them go to work- though they knew that their shift had started a time period ago.

The Dupre Twins were the only ones with faces that were up and about. Phoenix; dressed in simple black pants and a grey short sleeved shirt was silently watching Ebony. Ebony was wearing a simple white dress; with spaghetti straps and a skirt that flowed after the hips. She was also wearing simple black flats.

"You look nice Ebby-chan." Phoenix said, staring at his sister, who simply stared at the mirror. Her eyes widened, and she flinched. "T-thanks." She murmured. She turned around, and smiled at her brother. "Phi-kun, you look nice too." She chirped. Phoenix blushed. "N-nah." Ebony stared at her brother for a second, and giggled. "What?" Phoenix asked, curious.

Ebony stared at her brother, a small smile on her face. "Who is she?" Phoenix's blue eyes widened. "Whaaa?" "The girl you like. Who is she?" Ebony asked, staring at her brother with a teasing smile. Phoenix just stared at her, with his mouth hanging a bit opened before he threw himself back on the bed,

"Her name is Crysta. She lives in the town." Phoenix mumbled, a bright blush covering his face. "Tell me more." Ebony asked, sitting down next to him. Phoenix stared at the ceiling, a small, fond smile forming on his face. "She has beautiful silver hair- though she complains that its too short, it reaches up to her shoulders. She's a year younger then me. And Ebony, she has the most brightest green yellowy eyes i've ever seen! She hates work though." Phoenix chuckled. "Once, I tried to get her to help me do a few documents. She ran away and hid in a tree for an hour until I promised that I wouldn't make her work. SHe loves pranks though. Ask her for help in THAT, and she'd willingly plan it out for months." Phoenix chuckled, happiness clearly written on his face.

Ebony laughed. "Oh! Phoenix is in loveeee! Phoenix is in loveee!" She teased, jumping on to her feet and singing it. "Shush!" Phoenix yelled, and playfully threw a pillow at her. Ebony dodged it with grace, and quickly threw it back at him. He was unlucky, and it hit him straight in the face. Phoenix laughed.

"So what about you Ebby-chan?" He asked. Ebony froze, and slowly glanced at him. "Me?" Phoenix nodded. "Oh. I don't like anyone." She said simply. "What about Boris? You and him hang out more then Dee and Dum hang out with each other." Phoenix questioned. Ebony shrugged. "He's just a friend. Nothing more." Phoenix stared at her. "Well, what about Elliot?" Ebony stared at him with confused eyes. "Elliot?" She asked adorably, tilting her head. Phoenix shook his head. "Never mind."

Ebony stared at him, before shrugging. "Like I said, I don't really like anyone." Phoenix nodded. "Thats good." "Why?" "Because then I wouldn't have to beat anyone up in the name of my little sister." He said, smiling. Ebony laughed.

A knock came from the door. Ebony stared at Phoenix, and he sighed as he went and opened it.

"Hi Dad." He said, when he saw Blood standing at the door. Blood smiled at him. "Hello Father." Ebony said, smiling at him. Blood's smile dimmed a little, and he nodded towards her. "Your mother wants both of you to go to the table." And with that Blood turned on his heel and walked towards the dining room.

"Come on Ebby-chan. You heard Dad." Phoenix said. Ebony nodded, and smiled. "I'll be there in a bit." Phoenix nodded, and walked out. Ebony sat there, and her face briefly collapsed into sadness. She sighed, letting her head fall forward, and grasped onto her emotions. She stood up, and walked towards the dining room.

She walked through the long hallway, her steps echoing. Her mind was filled with thoughts wondering what her mother wanted to talk about, wondering if Phoenix would ever make a move on this Crysta, wondering if her Father actually loved he-

"Ebony! Wait up!" She heard a familiar and somewhat calming voice call behind her. She paused, and turned around, a smile already forming on her face. "Hi Elliot!" She chirped, smiling rather adorably at Elliot. Elliot blushed, and quickly glanced away. "What's up Ebony?" he asked, as they both started to walk towards the dining room. "Nothing much. Do you know why my mom wanted to talk to everyone?" Elliot shook his head. "No idea." Elliot responded, shaking his head. Ebony sighed softly when they arrived.

"There you are!" Blood yelled upon seeing his daughter enter with his subordinate. "I told you your mother wanted to see you NOW. But you took your time didn't you?" Blood accused.

Ebony bowed her head. She knew it was pointless to argue with her father- even if she was in the right. She kept quiet, her emotions pacing back and forth like a trapped animal.

"Why can't you listen for once?" Blood exclaimed, his emerald eyes narrowing. He had stood up, and his hands were on the table as he started to release cruel words from his mouth. Ebony dimly noticed that no one; not her mother, her brother, dee, dum nor elliot was standing up for her. Of course not, she thought. They must agree with him.

"Couldn't you be punctual for once?" Blood continued on. Ebony stood there, her head bent, and her hands fisting the sides of her dress. "See, this is why Phoenix is a better Dupre then you Ebony!" Blood said sharply.

Ebony took in a sharp breath, as the entire room filled with silence and froe. No one spoke up. No one moved.

Ebony stood there, still as she was before. Her long, auburn bangs covered her blue eyes. Blue eyes that were filled with pain, sorrow, and anger. The emotions she never let herself show, the emotions that paced and begged, and pleaded and demanded to be set free. And set free they were. She snapped. She let her anger cruise through her body, letting it take over her her rational thoughts, and she let it take over her words and actions.

"H-Hey Blood, don't you think thats a-" Elliot started.

"Is that how it is?" Ebony spoke up, head still bent, and her voice eerily calm. "Yes! Ebony, you need to be more mature no-" "Fine then." Ebony interrupted Blood.

SHe was now glaring at everyone with her cold blue eyes- save for Elliot. She was furious. "I'm obviously not fit to be a stupid Dupre or a Liddell. Thank god I'm not fit for that, I don't know what i would do if i was." She spat out. "I'm tired of having to pretend that I think you guys love me. 'Oh, I feel bad for her since she was kidnapped and never spoke until a year had passed' That's what you think." She glared at everyone, anger plainly painted all over her face.

"Well you know what? Fuck you all."

A/N: Hey Guys! So, if you read the chapter title, it says part one. And if you read the ending, you'd know its a cliffhanger. Yup. I'm planning to have this be a three part ending. Or four, depends on how much I write. The part two will be released on Saturday hopefully. The ending ending will be released on my birthday- July 8. Andddd I wanted to do a Q and A thing. So, just comment any questions you have, like; what happened to Peter throughout most of the FTU stories? I don't know. It can be any type of question really. I don't mind answering questions. And then on the 11th, I will post the Q and A here. There will be questions you guys asked for, and questions I think should be answered.

So yea. Welcome, my DreamLeavers, to the hopefully Trilogy ending of The Outsiders Mad Future!
