Chapter Three : Truth.

"Ava." I whispered under my breath, voice trembling.

On the verge of a panic attack I snuck towards the screams, before diverting to the kitchen. If I had to fight, I was better off with a weapon. Quiet as I possibly could be I retrieved four knives of various lengths, all of which were extremely sharp.
Flinching, my sister let out another scream. I couldn't just abandon her.
I always knew we would be attacked due to our royal status. I just thought it would be when my father died.
Knowing I would be taken down quickly I silently ran through the secret entrance.

Suppressing a fit of coughs, I turned on my flashlight and looked around. The narrow corridor was crawling with jet black spiders as big as my hand. Cobwebs stretched over the walls which seemed to eerily wave at me as I passed. Shivers ran through my body as my feet stomped across the ice like floor, the castle always creeped me out at how large it was. What was the need for all of the rooms we had when only three people lived here?
Pressing an ear to the extremely thin door I overheard my mother pleading for my sisters life to be spared before a strangled gurgle silenced her.
Grunting, I clawed at my chest. My mother was dying, her initials over my heart bleeding and burning away to nothing. One of my soulmates had already gone.
Deciding it was time to save my sister and my brother if he hadn't run, I kicked down the door and burst through. Ava screamed and peed herself a little from fright. Looking over to her I almost cried aloud. Her face and clothes were smeared with blood as she held our mum. Sobs wracked her small frame as her doe eyes had enlarged to the size of golf balls. Tear tracks stained her face and some of her hair laid in clumps by her feet.
Anger clouded my vision as I took in the fresh bald patches on her scalp.
They would pay. Turning over I almost recoiled in shock and horror. My brother, father and various other men and women stood smirking at me and my sister.
How? How could my brother do this to us?
I always knew he had darkness in him but not as extreme as this.

"Why?" I screamed as I pinned him to the wall, my vision turning red.

"Oh, Magnus. You're an abomination! Your kind always promises a good era, yet death follows your like a lost dog!"

"My kind? You're my twin!"

"Aren't you sadly mistaken. You see, we aren't even related. My blood, it's poisonous to you one drop and you will be on the floor screaming in pain. You're a true alpha Magnus and me? I'm one of the only species that can kill you - a fire-walker."

"Why are you lying?" I screamed my voice close to breaking.

He let out a psychotic laugh that chilled me to the core.

"So now, I'm going to kill you and let our darling sister watch and then she'll join you in hell."

Hands trembling, I let go of my brothers shirt. I watched as he cut open his wrist and sadistically grin at me. He had no idea. He had no idea how much I had trained myself for this moment. He had no idea that he was the one my little sister would have to watch die.
Laughing coldly, I massacred them all.
I started with my father. I grabbed him by the neck and threw him like a rag doll into the small crowd of people. Groaning in pain, he tried to crawl away but I was too quick. I grasped him hair in one hand and lifted his head until his eyes met mine.

"I've been waiting for this a long time."

With that, he spat in my face and grinned.

"And I've waited for Amy to die for a long time."

Letting my claws burst free, I rammed them through his fatty lower stomach. Screaming in pain, he started to beg for me to kill him yet I slowly dragged my claws up his body, making it as painful as I possibly could. I was thoroughly enjoying this moment. Burning his screams of agony onto your brain, I smirked at him sweating and bleeding profusely and I quickly slashed through his heart. Dropping him, I turned to the crowd of people who looked at me with fear and a slight bit of admiration.

"Well then," I said, amusement coating my voice like bitter chocolate. "Who would like to go next?"

Many of them ran towards me, yet I was ready. Two of them met their fated deaths at the end of a blade and the remaining two at my ability to snap necks. I then faced the coward who hadn't dared to step forward.

"Do you really think a coward like you is going to get a clean and quick death like the others?"

He gulped and his almost black eyes shifted around the room to look for an exit. Fixing his eyes on the door, he tried to run but with no luck. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed his head into the wall so hard a loud crack could be heard.  I had fractured his skull.
I wonder if this would be enough for a bleed to be found in the brain, I mused as I started to ouch and kick the coward who couldn't face me. Deciding to try and take me down, his claws reached up to scratch my face. Dodging out of the way, I backhanded him hard enough to make blood fly out of his mouth and onto the floor a few metres away. Only then I had decided I needed a new bag of flesh to attack and promptly slit his throat with a small yet extremely deadly knife.

Claps resonated around the room as my brother laughed at my performance.

"Woah! So you've been sneaking off to learn how to kill some of my best men have you?"

"Best men? I'm very disappointed if that's the best you've got. It just makes me wonder, how good are you?"

"Magnus, oh Magnus. You haven't seen anything yet."

My sister let out a high pitched scream as my brother shoved a poisoned sword through her leg. Since it was lavender, she wouldn't survive and probably only had fifteen minutes to survive.. Dropping to my knees, I let out a sob. My baby sister was going to die in pain and there was nothing I could do for her.
Clenching my fists, I growled and shifted into my wolf. Sebastian was going to die for the act of treason and I was going to carry it out the old fashioned way.
Jumping up onto my hind legs I slashed at him, anger weeping through my veins. He dodged. Yet I was relentless. My sister lay screaming at me to kill him and crying through her pain. I would avenge her. Even if it meant I also would die.

Howling I attacked again, aiming for any major points that would get Sebastian off his feet. It worked. He hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. Wagging my tail, I sauntered up to him; standing on him in my huge, almost bear like form.

"Magnus, think this through. Please don't kill me. It's not my fault, if anything, it's yours. I've hidden in the shadows long enough, father was the only one who treated me better then he treated you; I relished it. When I found out I could kill you, it was as if I had snapped. I was gone and the overwhelming urge to kill you invaded me and I couldn't resist. Please, spare me. I can change and help you take over the full community, or even further if you wanted. We would be unstoppable."

Cocking my head I raised a brow, as best as I could in wolf form. I looked past him and to my sister who was bleeding out and whispering for me to end it all. I couldn't let her down.

Letting out a noise that was indescribable, I started to shake. My brother had sunk his claws into my underbelly.

The next few moments were blurred but when I came back to my senses, Sebastian and I were covered in blood, his death rattle wringing through the already tense air.
Running a hand through my already bloody hair, I turned to look at my little sister.
She was smiling at me with a proud gleam in her emerald green eyes.

"I'm so proud Magnus, you killed something you loved dearly. I love you so much."

Sobbing, I clenched her soulmate mark over my chest burning and bleeding, signifying her time here wasn't going to last much longer.

"I don't want to die Maggy. I don't want to leave you!"

Sobbing, I dropped to my knees in front of her.

"It's alright Ava, you'll be fine. I'm always going to protect you, no matter what."

"Magnus, I want you to always remember I love you so much and mum did too and maybe even a part of Sebastian did. He was always doomed. You got to listen to me now."
She said, her voice hitching. Blood coated her soft lips and her eyes let out waves of intense pain. How could someone so pure be allowed to die? How was she so wise? And how would I carry on without her?

"Mum has lots of letters in her room that you need to read. Some are addressed to you but most are addressed to her mate Evangeline. You need to find her Maggy, she can help you win. You've got to win, you're the only one who deserves the crown. People may look down upon you now that you've killed them but I will always, always be with you. Please, I don't want to be forgotten. Please. Can you sing our sing our song one last time? Please?"

"Ava you don't deserve this.
Does it hurt?
I can take the pain away."

"It doesn't hurt, just please I don't wanna be alone when this happens."

"Ava, you will never be alone. I will always, always be here for you. I promise I will make you proud!"

Holding a hand to my cheek she started singing to me.

"The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried"

Screaming and crying with pain, I continued it for her. My sister. The one person who could relate to me, dying in my arms. Stroking her hair, she lazily smiled at me. Her eyes fluttering and becoming unfocused. Mouthing 'I love you' to me, she took her once last breath. Eyes glazing over her body visually slumped into me.

" P-P-Please don't take my sunshine away"
"Please, please come back."
Pulling her to my chest I sobbed and I sobbed. My eyes felt like a damn had been broken and my heart felt ripped out.
Is this what pain truly was? 
If so, I hated it.

Stroking her still warm cheek, I picked her up and cradled her gently against me. Giving myself the illusion that she was only sleeping, I carried her to her room. Changing her clothes and wiping all of the blood off of her, I tucked her into her bed. Kissing her cheek, I whispered an eternal goodnight to her and shut the door.

This was my fault. How, how could I have left her with Sebastian. Due to me wanting to be left alone, I sentenced them to death. Swallowing the painful lump in my throat, I closed her door for the last time. Angrily wiping my face free of tears, I started towards my mothers room.
Opening the door, my breath caught in my throat. It was almost as if she was still alive, her presence lingering in the walls. As it had only been hours, the room was still messy as my mother never kept anything clean. The bed was unkempt, with clothes thrown across it.
Deciding not to stay in the room for too long, I set to work finding the letters. After searching high and low, I still hadn't found them and my frustration was rising. Grunting angrily, I pushed the desk over and onto the floor and rolled my shoulders. Continuing to wreck the room, I laughed with relief. It felt so good and I felt free for the moment. Of course, that ended when I flopped to the floor to see the letters taped to the underneath of the bed.

Reaching forward, I grasped them and efficiently unpeeled them from the tape; grabbing the first envelope, my heart started to pound.
On the front was my name written in my mothers familiar handwriting.

*~*~*~*~*~*

Let me know what y'all think lmao.

Spot a mistake point it out!

Bye for now.
