Chapter 3
Hey guys! A friend on Fanfiction. Net showed me this song and I LOVE it!
Collins woke up startled as he looked at his alarm clock, which read 2:37 a.m. He was about to go back to sleep when he heard noises coming from Devan's room, making him immediately get up and go in there as he saw him having a nightmare. He slowly sat down, rubbing Devan's back as he gently shook him.
"Devan, wake up. It's just a nightmare, Dev. It's gonna be OK."
Devan then shot straight up, tears glistening in his bright blue eyes as Collins laid his hand on his shoulder.
"Shh. You OK, bud?"
Devan shook his head no as Collins sighed, before scooting closer to him and wrapping his arms around his little brother, embracing him in a hug as he felt his shoulder get warm and wet while two arms wrapped around him and his brother shook with convulsive sobs.
Collins rubbed Devan's back with one hand and stroked his hair with the other as he whispered.
"You're OK, Dev. It's gonna be OK. I promise.
Devan slowly calmed down as Collins handed him a Kleenex before asking.
"What happened, Dev?" He asked as Devan sighed, looking down.
"T-the peo-people w-who g-got m-me...g-got y-you."
"Dev, don't worry. We're perfectly safe here. Mom and Dad installed locks wherever locks can be installed. It's gonna be OK. I promise."
"Y-you ca-can't pro-promise th-that." Devan sniffed as Collins side hugged him.
"Trust me. Big brother instinct." Collins grinned as Devan chuckled.
"I don't think that's a thing."
"Hey, I'm a magician, remember? It's now a thing." Collins laughed as he hugged Devan again before rubbing his back.
"Hey, I think I have something for you." Collins said, getting off the bed and going into Devan's closet and coming back, holding Devan's old stuffed bear he had since before he was born.
"This always helped you sleep. Which was good, cause I needed it." He laughed as he handed it to Devan as he ruffled his hair, pulling his blankets back over him.
"Get some sleep, bud."
"Goodnight, Collins." Devan yawned as he closed his eyes and Collins went back to his room, falling asleep.
Meanwhile, Vanessa had put a mini recorder on Collins as they heard him say.
"Mom and dad installed locks anywhere locks could be installed."
Making Veronica groan loudly.
"NOW how am I supposed to get Collins?!"
"You know, Veronica, we are legal adults. We can refuse to do this." Vanessa said.
"I need that treasure, Vanessa. You seem to be the only one who doesn't want it."
"The Keys did nothing to us. We're taking their treasure." Vanessa signed as Veronica smiled.
"This is about Devan, isn't it?"
Vanessa nodded hoping she would understand, but instead felt searing pain suddenly go through her cheek as she saw Veronica bring her hand down before jabbing a finger at her chest.
"If you do not get your priorities straight and get over him, then I will take you out. Understood?!"
Vanessa nodded in tears as Veronica stomped off as she was in shock that not only her twin slapped her, but that she was willing to kill her.
