@godlyfantasy12. Sweet, precious Paxton! *sobs* @keilah-h. @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka. There’s so much conflict in this castle already! XDXDXDXD
Leo
They…they…were…there…right in front of them.
“Hello…boys…”
A chill spread up his spine.
Behind him, Reuben stumbled.
Would have hit the floor if Joshua hadn’t caught him.
Adolphus and Dietrich both smiled, their sadistic smiles matching Frida’s.
“Hah…you finally showed up…did you?” Adolphus said, his smile widening.
Leo put his arm out in front of his brothers. “What…do…you…want?”
Adolphus
He raised an eyebrow, his smile not even faltering. “Watch your tone…Leo…we wouldn’t want anything bad to happen now, would we?”
Leo’s eyes narrowed.
Now that…Adolphus hadn’t been expecting.
Ah, no matter.
He’d fix that attitude.
Oh…yes…he would.
Frida
Perfect…they’d come.
It must have been meant to be.
She smirked.
Now she could make sure they regretted everything they’d done in recent days, including Leo’s sudden attitude.
She smiled again. “Well…boys…what have you been doing?”
“Nothing that you deserve to know.” Jakob snarled.
Frida raised an eyebrow.
He had an attitude as well?
“Well…am I going to have to deal with naughty boys today then…?”
October 21, 2022 at 6:04 pm #120234@freedomwriter76 AHHH!! @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @keilah-h
Paxton
Reuben…Wolfgang…Leo…Jakob…Joshua…
They knew these people…
These…evil looking people…
Paxton gasped as he remembered what Wolfgang had told him before.
How they understood…understood what he’d been through….
Paxton’s eyes widened, fear gripping him. He looked up at Wolfgang, his body starting to shake again.
This was their family….
Their brothers…..
“W-Wolfgang….?” He whimpered quietly. He tugged the young man backwards, fear ripping into him.
These boys…they were too similar…too much like his brothers…
But he didn’t know what they were capable of…
And unlike his brothers…
These were after all of the others….
Not him…
Though…from the wicked grins on their faces, there was no doubt they’d hurt him too….
With no second thoughts….
He clutched Hope tighter. “L-Leo?”

@godlyfantasy12. Hola! ¿Como estas? I AM! xD @keilah-h. @elishavet-pidyon. @koshka.
Wolfgang
“W-Wolfgang….?” Paxton whispered, pulling Wolfgang back.
But he didn’t pay attention…he couldn’t…his heart was too filled with fear.
His heartbeat increased.
His breath heaved.
Dietrich turned to him.
Smiled…his smile too familiar…cruel and sadistic. “Hello, Wolfgang.”
“Don’t. Talk. To. Him.” Reuben snarled.
Dietrich turned to him; eyes narrowed. “Attitude, hm? I need to get rid of that.”
Leo
“L-Leo?” Paxton whispered.
Leo glanced behind him. Gave Paxton a small smile. “It’s going to be okay…I promise…”
He turned back to face his stepbrothers and stepmother.
“Don’t touch any of them.”
Adolphus raised an eyebrow. “And you think you can tell us what to do?” Adolphus sighed. “Where did this sudden attitude come from?” He tsked. “Well, I can get rid of that. Quickly. Very quickly indeed.”
Leo clenched his fists.
He wouldn’t let him get past…he wouldn’t.
Jakob
Jakob’s fists clenched.
The burning in his chest was only stronger now that it was his own family.
They had hurt his brothers.
They would pay.
One day…and one day soon.
Joshua glanced at him with a worried frown.
“What?” Jakob hissed.
Joshua slowly shook his head. “You need to forgive.”
Julius
Tears were still coursing down his cheeks as memories floated before his eyes, haunting and nightmarish.
He wanted out.
He needed to escape.
Please. Just…please. Someone…just…just…help me, he thought.
The tears wouldn’t stop, even though Julius had been told over and over again it was a sign of weakness.
Footsteps sounded, and Kursk was suddenly down beside him on his knees. “Julius? Are you alright?”
Julius slowly nodded, tears still coursing down his cheeks. “…Yes…”
Kursk raised an eyebrow, obviously not believing him.
But, instead of asking again, he began to load bullets into his rifle.
“What are you doing…?”
“I’m loading my gun. V’hat does it look like?” (I can’t believe I haven’t given him an accent this whole time! 😫😫😫)
Julius silenced. Bit his lip.
Of course, he wasn’t opposed to war.
War had given America freedom.
But to kill someone…outside of war….it…bothered him.
In ways he couldn’t explain.
He groaned as more pain travelled from his arm.
Kursk glanced at him; his blue eyes full of concern.
“And ‘vhat they did to you? They deserve to pay.”
October 21, 2022 at 7:55 pm #120239@freedomwriter76 @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @keilah-h not entirely sure what else to make Paxton say.
Paxton
Leo stood tall. Strong, despite the evil look in his brothers’ eyes. In his mother’s gaze…
Paxton’s breath hitched.
Would he ever be that brave?
He perked up at Wolfgang who seemed…Frozen.
“W-Wolfgang…?” He whispered. No answer. Gently, he squeezed the young man’s hand. Wolfgang’s eyes finally tore away, peering at the little boy, eyes filled with fear. Paxton could feel his hand shaking in his own.
“I-It’ll be okay…W-Wolfgang…” He sniffed, trying hard to calm the own quiver in his voice. He squeezed closer to the young man who’d given him so much comfort, hoping he could somehow return it, “It…It’ll b-b-be okay….”

@godlyfantasy12. They’ll probably just go. They know they have their mother’s permission. DX
And, AHHHH!!!!! Great idea…but, like, horrible for our babies.
Why are us writers like this!?!?!?!?!?!?October 21, 2022 at 8:16 pm #120244Anonymous- Rank: Chosen One

@godlyfantasy12. I guess I better get the stepbrothers and Frida mad then… @koshka. @elishavet-pidyon. @keilah-h.
Wolfgang
“It…It’ll b-b-be okay….”
Wolfgang was finally out of his panic.
He squeezed Paxton’s hand. “Thank you…Paxton…thank you…” He squeezed Paxton’s hand tighter and took in a deep breath.
It would be okay…it would be okay.
Adolphus
This was getting fun.
Adolphus stepped closer to Leo.
They stood only an inch apart.
He smirked. “Well…Leo…are you ready to lose your attitude problem?”
“You beat up a man that never did anything wrong to you. You’ve beaten up your younger brothers.”
Adolphus smiled. Leo having an attitude only made this more enjoyable. “Just shows that I’m strong and can take quite a beating.”
Leo
“No…it only proves that I’m more of a man than you’ll ever be.”
Adolphus’ punch to his face came without warning.
Leo hit the floor. Groaned.
But Adolphus didn’t stop with one…oh no.
He saw Dietrich go for Reuben, but Jakob got to him first, stopping him.
Adolphus gave him another blow. He smiled. “This will be good for you one day…you’ll see…” He snarled. “Your attitude will only get you in trouble with others…so it’s best to get rid of it now…”
“You’re a coward.” Leo snarled.
Adolphus’ smile faded. “Take that back, you stupid Jew.”
Leo grinned.
It actually felt good to make him angry. “Never.”
Adolphus readied to hit him again, and Leo moved fast.
He bit him, then kicked him in the gut.
Adolphus staggered backwards.
Fell on the floor with a groan.
Leo jumped to his feet. “You won’t lay another finger on my brothers.”
Jakob knocked Dietrich against the wall.
Leo turned his attention back to Adolphus. “Never. Again.”
Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a hard, harsh slap sent Leo sprawling to the floor. Frida stood over him. “You. Don’t. Fight. Back.”
October 21, 2022 at 9:17 pm #120245@freedomwriter76 AHHHHH!!!!! NOOOOO!!! I think the slap from Frida is what is gonna get to Paxton…. @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @keilah-h
Paxton
He let out a shriek as the first brother attacked, punching Leo, sending him to the floor.
The other went after Reuben, but Jakob stopped him.
It was all downhill from there…
The older brothers were fighting…the youngers frozen in place, watching in horror, standing near Paxton.
Paxton cried, tears stinging his eyes as he watched the sudden chaos, hiding his face, but unable to look away.
He could practically feel the pain….
The fists…
As if it were his brothers…
Leo thankfully wasn’t down for the count….
But…then….
She came….
Eyes filled with flame…
Fire….
And she….
She hit him…
Hard.
Knocking him to the floor.
“You. Don’t. Fight. Back.” The woman nearly spat, voice cold as ice.
Paxton’s eyes grew wide as saucers, heart stopping.
“You…you killed him…”
“I-I didn’t! I didn’t m-m-mother! I-I”
She turned on him with angry tears, face contorted in a way…he’d never seen. With an anger she’d never shown….even to him….
He’d never been more afraid in his life….
Not when the creature had nearly killed him…
Not during the ritual….
Her hand came out of nowhere, stinging his skin, knocking him to the floor. He let out a cry, tears immediately springing to his eyes.
“You killed your brother!” She screamed, voice torn with grief and hatred. He’d never heard her sound anything other then her regal, perfect self. “You worthless, miserable, FLIT!”
“N-No’ S-Stop It! L-Leave him alone…p-p-please!” Paxton cried, leaving Wolfgang’s side.
“Paxton!” Wolfgang reached for him, but missed.
Paxton was crying now, mind fogged and eyesight blurred with tears. He gripped the woman’s skirts, crying. “P-p-please…s-stop…”

I’m sorry y’all. I didn’t intend to just drop off the face of the planet. We just attended TBC preview, so I haven’t had time to get on for the past couple days.
(And just for future warning, life’s getting a little crazy right now, so I’ll probably be dropping off even more.)

I AM BACK.
(Thankfully, no dramatic circumstances caused this little absence. I’ve just been really busy between college, schoolwork, and a Bible College preview event this weekend. But I’m back now.
Also, I’m really wondering what Paxton’s reaction would be to Esen….
You have listened to fears, child. Come, let me breathe on you... Are you brave again? -Aslan

OH my! It might be so fun to have Kursk and the twins run into each other.

Feather and Crosshair
Great, more bullies.
At least these didn’t have wings, which meant people were much less likely to get yeeted into a wall…..
Feather didn’t even have time to speak to the boy–Paxton–before they showed up. Sent the biggest boy sprawling on the floor.
The female who seemed to be the leader stood over him. “You. Don’t. Fight. Back.” she snarled, accentuating each word.
Something about her made Feather furious. Behind her, she heard an angry mutter and a clicking rifle that told her Crosshair had the same sentiment.
She stepped up to face the other woman, just as Paxton grabbed her clothes, pleading with her to stop. “What is your problem?” she asked. “Why terrorize these boys–or men……what do they have to do with you?”
Where'd I get ya this time? The liver? The kidney? I'm runnin' outta places to put holes in ya.
