Chapter Twenty-One: Sister Fight

Officer Cheddar drove us all to the hospital, as we stood in an room. A guy was badly hurt and had wires hooked up to him, monitors keeping check on his vitals. He had cuts on his face, and bruises had formed.

"Mister Luntz, can you hear me?" Officer Cheddar began, as the man groans stirring awake from his sleep. His head turns to the right to stare at the officer.

"Who, um..." He began but his voice was weak and low. "Who are you?" He got his voice to go louder.

"I'm Sergeant Cheddar, and these are," Cheddar began his head cocking over to us, with his arm extended. "These are my associates," he winks at us, but mostly at Allison. "Just have a couple of questions for you," he directed his gaze back to Mr. Luntz.

"Am I in trouble?" He wondered.

"No trouble, nothin' like that. I just... I wanted to ask you about the accident in the Bearskin Tavern parking lot last night," Cheddar had stepped closer to the bed his eyewitness was laid in.

"You're a cop... You gotta protect me no matter what, right?" Mister Luntz asked, as sounded kind of frightened for his life.

"It's my sworn duty," Officer Cheddar replied as he was a good officer.

"It was no accident," Mister Luntz began, making me peek up in interest as it did Allison.

"What do you mean?" Officer Cheddar asked, not following his comment.

"This guy... hired us to start a fight," peeking our interests once again as I see Allison step closer to the bottom of the bed. "He wanted us to rough him up in front of his girlfriend. He paid real good up front... We got drunk. Took it a little too far. Started to hassle the girl, too. And then, all hell broke loose," Luntz explained what happened last night, kind of sounded unbelievable.

"The guy who paid you, what did he look like?" Allison took charge, asking her own questions now. "Brown hair, light scruff, slight build?" Allison was giving a description of Leonard who was with Vanya.

"Yeah. Yeah, that's him," Luntz spoke, as I couldn't believe it. Why the hell would he pay guys to fight him in front of Vanya, things weren't adding up.

"Well, that's a... a really good guess," Officer Cheddar states as I see Allison grab into her jacket pocket and pull free a book cover of Vanya's book. "Is this the girlfriend?" Allison asks, showing Mister Luntz the back to see a picture of Vanya.

"Hey, uh.. Just, um... Just a moment," Officer Cheddar came around the bed, pulling the curtain with him to give us a little bit of privacy. "Hey, by any chance, is your movie called 'Small town cop falls for Hollywood superstar's bullshit?" He was onto us, as it took longer than expected.

Allison sighed, as she knew we have been caught. "I am sorry for misleading you," Allison went on.

"I believe the word would be 'lying'," Officer Cheddar corrected Allison's terminology.

"I'm sorry I lied. But I didn't know how else to get answers," Allison began telling the truth as she holds up the book cover to the cop. "This is our Sister. And I think the guy that put him in this hospital has her. We have to find her," we both were worried for Vanya.

"I could get fired for just bringing you both down here with me," his eyes flickered between us.

"Please. I think she's in trouble. We need your help," I spoke up, pleading with Officer Cheddar as his eyes looked into mine.

"Answer the lady's question. Is this the girlfriend?" He asks Mr. Luntz pulling back the curtain with one big swoop.

"Sorry, but the doctor's ordered more tests," the nurse entered before Allison could get a chance to show him the picture of Vanya. "You're gonna have to ask him questions later," the nurse flickered her eyes between us, as we had to wait now. I led the charge and out of the room, and back into the hallway. As we couldn't do much but to wait for Mister Luntz to come back.

...........

Time seemed to drag while we waited for Mister Luntz to come back from his tests, but it gave us time to talk to Officer Chedda about our adventure today. I lent against the corridor wall, opposite Chedda and Allison talking to one another. I stare at the wall, my mind in over time wondering if Vanya was alright, and not hurt, and also if Diego was ok as well. There was so much on our plates right now, it seemed like we were gonna suffocate.

"Hey, Dale?" The nurse from before came down the hallway, her eyes fixed on Dale.

"Yup?" He asks spinning around to face the nurse.

"Have you seen Mr. Luntz?" She asks, wondering if we have seen him, as she came to stand in front of them.

"No, why?"

"I took him to X-Ray, and then he disappeared," she states as a man doesn't just vanish.

"We.. You better let security know. I'll call it in," Office Cheddar states, knowing what to do in cases like these.

"Yeah," she states, and sharply turns.

"Oh, wait, one more thing," Allison grabbed the nurses attention before she could step away. Allison unfolds the book cover and faces it to the nurse. "Do you recognize this woman?" She asks her, holding the book cover tight.

"Mm. She left with Mister Peabody this morning," she told us.

"Wait, this morning," Allison spoke as the nurse had left to tell security.

"Must have been here when we stopped at the cabin," I came forward to stand in front of Dale and Allison.

"Maybe they went back there," Allison pipped up her eyes cocked between us. "We're off to go get our sister," Allison said, nodding her head to me to follow her.

"Whoa, hold on," before I could get a chance to move Dale stopped us. "We got a missing vic, and this guy might be dangerous. I need you to stay here," he told us firmly, but I shook my head as we weren't going to do that as we can handle ourselves.

"Come on," I announce to Allison, tapping her forearm as I passed, as we began to walk down the corridor together. Heading back to the cabin, hoping we reach it in time to see if Vanya was still there...

...............

The drive back to the cabin was fast, as night was drawing on us. As we went back up the dirt road in the car, the trees were swaying and I could hear things rattling in the distance up at the cabin. Which was wind as last time I checked, it wasn't that windy. We came to a stop at the mail box, and got out, going up the dirt path to the cabin. We climbed the stairs this time, leading up to the porch, as things on it were rocking back and forth, the lights swaying on their own. The many windchimes rocking and playing their music, but there was also a violin sound coming from within. Once coming on the porch, we examined the things that were moving as it was kind of freaky as we edge closer to the front door.

"Vanya? Is that you?" Allison raised her voice as we stepped forward, the wind blowing through our hairs. We reached the door and looked inside as it had a small window in, but we see the back of Vanya playing her violin. Allison turns the knob on the door and pushes it open as we enter.

"Vanya, there you are. What is going on?" Allison asks as we entered the room, making Vanya stop playing and turn to face us. I shut the door behind us, as the wind seemed to die down, and things began to slow in their movements.

"What are you doing here?" Her eyes flicked between the both of us.

"We came to find you. Are you ok?" I spoke up my voice worried for her, as she seems to be alone right now.

"Yeah," she replied, not thinking she was in danger.

"There's something... weird going on. What's causing it?" Allison asks, as we were both thinking it. Vanya was silent for a moment, as she was processing what our sister had said.

"Me," she replied, no hesitation, but I frowned at her as that's not possible.

"Come again?" I asked, as Allison began to step forward as I did the same.

"What do you mean, 'me'?" Allison questioned.

"I mean... I made those things happen... With my powers," Vanya replied, as I couldn't believe it as Vanya had powers all this time. "Turns out I've had them all this time. It's weird, huh?" Vanya explained, as she must have only found out about them.

"It's in-- it's incredible," Allison managed to speak as she was in much shock as I was.

"But?" Vanya eyes were on Allison as she must have a expression that seemed there was going to be a but.

"Ca-- Can we do this in the car?" Allison urges with Vanya to come with us.

"Why?" Vanya replied in her soft tone, not understanding why we were here.

Allison sighs. "You're not gonna want to hear it," she explained as I don't think Vanya was going to like what we had to say to her.

"Well, that's never stopped you before," she remarked, hitting a blow in the conversation.

"Leonard Peabody? His real name is Harold Jenkins," Allison explained as she wasn't going to hold back in this moment in time, our sister needed to know the truth. "Remember when I couldn't find anything in the library on Leonard? It's because Leonard Peabody doesn't exist. Harold Jenkins does," Allison stepped forward to give Vanya all the information we had on the guy, as I stayed behind Allison. Vanya's expression wasn't believing us. "He was in prison for twelve years. He murdered his father when he was thirteen,"

"This is.. insane," Vanya came to the conclusion. "His dad was an engineer at the--"

"We have the police report in the car, Vanya. We can show you," I stepped in, my eyes coming to her as I came to stand beside Allison.

"I don't... I don't understand," Vanya was confused, she's been manipulated by a murder.

"Leonard, Harold, I-- I know it doesn't make any sense, and I know it sounds crazy, but we were in his house," Allison went on, stepping closer to Vanya, giving her all we had learnt about the guy. "He has pictures of all of us with our eyes gouged out,"

"Which wasn't pleasant to see," I add to the conversation, as Vanya's expression was baffled.

"Wh-- What? I--" Vanya couldn't make sense of it.

"I promise I will tell you everything in the car, but it is not safe," Allison came forward and grabbed Vanya's forearm, trying to lead her to the car.

"No, stop," she spoke coming to a chair nearby and sitting on it, as she took a sigh. Allison crouches down in front of her, as I came to the side of the, my gaze softened on Vanya as she must feel betrayed right now.

"Look, um... I can't imagine how hard it is for you to hear this. How you feel right now, but I... I love you, we love you, and I--" Allison spoke her eyes cocked to mine for a bit as she knew I love Vanya as my Sister. "I just... I wanna be here for you, as your sister," Allison explained as I came closer and crouched at the other side.

"We both do," I added offering a gentle smile to Vanya.

"There's just no way," her voice was low. "I love him," she was heart broken right now. "This just doesn't make any sense... And this power... I--" Vanya rubs her forehead with her hand, as she was very upset and the tears were welling up. "I don't know. I don't know what's going on," Vanya sobs out as she places her hands beside her hand, gripping it for a moment. "I don't know what to do," Vanya admitted as I touched her near with my hand, rubbing it gentle as she sniffles.

"I understand now," Allison spoke as realisation dawned upon her. My eyes shifted towards her, as I had no clue what she was on about.

"Understand what?" I asked, clearly lost like Vanya is right now.

"When we were four. Dad told us you were sick. You had to be isolated. We were so young. None of us knew to question it," Allison began to explain, as I remember Dad telling us Vanya was sick. "But then he asked me to do something I never understood... Until now," my face dropped as Allison explain what she did, she rumoured our own sister to think she was ordinary. "He made me an accomplice," Allison said, I didn't even know she moved to the couch as I was just gob smacked.

"You rumoured our Sister?" My tone was in shock, I couldn't believe it, Allison's powers were more mind control than mine, I know I would freeze my siblings when we were young because they would annoy me. Allison looks up from her shame, and connected eyes with me.

"You did this to me?" Vanya spoke, her tone slightly angry.

"I--" Allison couldn't speak, she was heartbroken and upset. "I... I didn't realize," she spoke.

"You knew this whole time?" Vanya continued. "That I had powers?!" She raised her voice as she stood to her feet, placing her violin on the other chair.

"No, no! I didn't really understand until I came today, until I saw it," Allison shot up, explaining herself as I also stood to my feet.

"Well, now it all makes sense. This is why you never wanted me around," Vanya raised her voice, as if we didn't want her around because of this.

"Vanya, no!"

"What? No!" Allison and I spoke over one another, as we didn't want Vanya to think that.

"You couldn't risk me threatening your place in the house, your--- your dominance," Vanya was visible upset but also angry at Allison.

"That is not true,"

"You couldn't handle the fact that Dad might find me special!" Vanya yells at Allison as this was getting heated very fast.

"You are special Vanya, with or without powers!" Allison yells back at her as she was getting her point across.

"Don't -- Don't say that!" Vanya yelled over Allison's comment, not wanting to hear it.

"We have a chance to start over," Allison's voice came down, as she just wanted to make amends and start over.

"You destroyed my life!" Vanya shouts at her, but that wasn't fair.

"She was four Vanya!" I yelled at her, as the room was filled with tension and anger, it just made me want to shout too. "We were all obedient to our Father! Even when we didn't want to be!" Tension were high, emotions were all over but I defended my Sister.

"Please, Vanya. Everything is out in the open. We can move on!" Allison's voice was raised.

"Oh, I'm moving on. But not with you, with Leonard," Vanya states, wanting to leave here with that murder.

"With Harold, you mean," Allison corrected her.

"With Leonard! The only person who has ever loved me for me," Vanya raised her voice at us, but that wasn't true.

"We love you for you, because you are our sister, no matter what!" I was firm with her because she was our family, she was our sister.

"You're just saying that! You've never loved me!" Vanya yells at me, but I shook my head as it wasn't true. "Look me in the eye and tell me you're not threatened now," Vanya spoke in a dark tone, her eyes flicked between us two. The wind began to pick up, the curtains in the cabin began to move, the windchimes clattering together.

"I don't wanna argue with you," Allison spoke softly.

"Then go!" Vanya yells.

"We're only trying to help you," Allison persisted as that's all we were doing.

"I don't want your help!" She screams at us once again, her expression full of anger but it was more like rage.

"Vanya, I love you!"

"Stop, saying that!" Vanya screams over Allison once again, but the wind began to pick up, making the chandelier hanging above swing side to side a bit faster. The room was vibrating, like an earthquake was going off, things were clattering together, glass smashing in the distance.

"Are you... Are you ok?" Allison asks, as she brought her gaze to Vanya looked a bit pale.

"I said go!" She screams at us, as the chandelier above smashes, blowing the blubs and sending glass to the floor, Allison and I yelped in shock as we shut our eyes for a moment. My hand was by my side, and I flex left hand out to Vanya, but she wouldn't freeze, she wouldn't become still. Which is strange as she would always freeze.

"Please don't make me do this," Allison spoke as her tone was upset, as I think I knew what she was going to do.

"Vanya please, I don't want to hurt you," I had to threaten my own sister to make her calm down. Allison gasps in pain as she was upset and didn't want to do what she was going to do.

"I heard a rumour-" Allison began as I rose my hands ready to use my powers on Vanya, but suddenly, Vanya uses her violin stick and slashes to the right, sending a white line of something at us. It happened so fast, and next thing I knew it hits me in right arm and I was flung to the side, hitting the armchair Vanya sat on, but I also hit the side wall hard, making me fall to the ground. White-hot pain generated at my arm, but I was daze and as I could hear a choking and a gasping sound ringing out. Then I heard crying but it sounded distant, then painful scream and then my Allison's name. My head was pounding, and I could feel something drip down my left side, I reached up to wince at my arm but I pushed through the pain and touched my head, pulling back to see red substance wet on my fingers. The front door opens and a male voice came out, but I couldn't understand what they were talking about as my ears were ringing.

I shook my head gently, as I use the toppled armchair as a way to pull myself up. Gripping the bottom hard as I push myself up, as I came over the side, I could see Vanya being pulled away from Allison who was stained in wet blood, and her throat slit.

"Allison!" I managed to scream out in anguish but the pain in my arm was hurting badly, and I felt the blood drip down my arm, like a river. I see Leonard drag Vanya from the room, but I used my left hand and flicked my fingers out at them, but the wooden chair near the door exploded sending pieces everywhere, as I missed. I was still overwhelm with the banging in my head, the door had shut, as I stood to my feet, pushing the off balance away. I stumble forward, but soon came crashing down onto my knees, as black dots were dancing around my vision. I crawled over to Allison's head, to see the blood still leaking from her throat, pulsing more like it a fucking ocean. I flicked my left hand out to her, but she wouldn't become frozen, she wouldn't, no matter how many times I flexed my fingers at her. I sobbed as tears ran down my cheeks.

"Hang on!" I raised my voice at her but it was weak, as my vision kept on fading. I managed to play my hands over her throat as blood just leaked on through, the cracks as I was so helpless in this situation. I began to shrug off my long black trench coat, but my vision was failing, and I became tired all of a sudden. I failed to get my coat fully off as I fell face first to the floor, as darkness crept in my vision. The last thing I saw was Allison's blood, making a pool beside of her...
