So Shiela threw me into a well and I don't know how can I get back to land.
.
.
.
I don't want to die yet! I need to take my revenge!!!
But my body didn't give mercy to me.
The last muffed words which I hear become inaudible to me as I submit to darkness.
DION'S P.O.V
I get up to drink some water and go to the washroom.
Suddenly my ears perked up, hearing a horrendous laugh.
Which person of lame manners is barking at midnight!?
Opening the window, I looked around for the source.
.
.
.
That's when I saw a well. In front of it was a white-haired woman.
Mother?
Is that really her?
.
.
.
The same mother who was known to be gentle and kind?
Without any hesitation, I open the door and run down the hallways, getting close to that place.
I stop, a few feet far from where mother was standing, panting heavily as it was my first time that I ran so much (Author: Weak Child).
She was literally cackling like some witch (Author: Ouch!).
That's when I heard faint bubbling noises from the background or...should I say a well.
Does someone need help?
My instincts got the best of me as I run towards the sound, giving no bother to mother as I jump into the well, with the end of the rope in my hand.
It was tied to an end so no problem.
"Gwap!!!", A mouthful of water got inside me.
Bubbles started to form around me as I was losing air and also my consciousness.
Where is Sara!?
That's when heavens helped me.
I saw my little sister getting deeper into the water.
I swim down fast as I catch her.
Suddenly a bucket hit me, not so hard but still, it was painful.
I supported me and Sara, onto the bucket. Magically (or not), the rope attached to the bucket helped us reach the land.
That's when I saw Father.
"Keugh!"
I coughed badly, water coming out from my nose and my mouth.
On my shoulder was the body of Sara.
"Are you alright dear son!?", He hugged me, rubbing circles around my back.
"First help her!", I pointed towards Sara.
"Isn't she the daughter of Shiela's sister?"
What are you speaking!? That isn't true! How can someone who has the same features as Shiela be the daughter of some random aunt!?
"Y-yes", My voice trailed off, keeping the secret and telling them a lie.
"Dion, get your hair wiped up", I did as I was told, wiping my black hair.
"Hiya!", He did the basics of saving a person how those swimmers did, earning some mouthfuls of water out of her.
After some minutes, her body responded and she got up from her deep slumber.
"D-Dion!?", Obviously she didn't expect me to save her.
By then, mother was nowhere to be seen.
"Father...could you please tell if she has any injuries? After all, she is mother's niece...", I stressed out at the last word, giving her a hint of her identity for now.
"Ah, sure! Let's check..", His eyes wandered around her face and emotions.
"Some slight injuries...nothing else"
"I see, thank you father for saving my little sister", I thanked him, still suspicious about his behaviours.
"Dion! Don't joke around! She is my niece too!", He laughed awkwardly.
Which made me more alert.
After that, he went away.
"You need to be careful, sister", I patted her.
Which she shoved away with her hand.
"You-", She pointed towards me.
"Are too naive to understand things.."
Really?
.
.
.
"Pfft!!!", I couldn't hold it any longer.
I could see her eyes getting bigger at my reaction.
"Ahahahaha!!!", I clutched my stomach and laughed.
"What makes it so funny?", She said, still keeping her defensive stance.
"The thing that you perfectly pinpointed out my weakness. Sadly that is not my weakness anymore", I gave her a grave smile.
With which she got goosebumps.
"Whose side are you on?", She asked with a cautious look.
"Let me think...Hmm...Yours", I finally gave my long-awaited answer.
"Do I really need to take that as my final answer?", Her hands covered her entire face.
"Yes"
.
.
.
"HAHAHA!!! FINALLY!!", Now she looked like a dark psychopath.
"Come join me and I'll show you the sweetest fantasies of this world. The fantasies...which are dark", She held out her hand, which I grasped onto.
"Yes, my little sister"
Perhaps joining her won't hurt.
TIMESKIP
After that day's talk, I joined hands with Sara and Eric, who introduced how they were related to me.
I am the Step Brother.
Sara is the Legitimate Daughter.
Eric is the Illegitimate Son.
And that's how I learned the dirty works of mother and father.
It was quite a shock to believe that my father has the greatest drug company in the Underworld.
Eric's dad Lewis is a killer in the Underworld, whose name is engraved in the top 5 killers of the world.
While Sara's mother is like a seductress.
What a tainted family
"Ridiculous...", I spat out to no one in particular.
I enter the warehouse, which Sara chose to be our meeting place.
Finally after 4 months...
LE LOADING
"So what was the hurry for?", I startled my two siblings.
"See who is here", Eric coughed and looked at Sara with a fake smile.
"Get a life, Eric", I give a mocking smirk.
"Will you two stop and get serious about this matter? This concerns and is the walkthrough of our life", Sara messaged her forehead and spread out the blueprint.
"What is it?", I turned towards her, my serious side showing up although I am trying to cover.
"Must be some assassination attempt version 2.0", Eric nonchalantly stated.
"That's true", Sara picked up a pen and my youngest sibling flinched.
"You have my full permission. Burn down this house and people", My bored self got activated.
"It's not as easy as you think, Dion", Eric narrowed his eyes with uncertainty.
"I agree with Eric. If we need to be free from them, we need to commit something perfect. If we commit a crime, it must need to be a perfect crime. Plus, I made this blueprint, after our discussions", She tapped onto the table which had the blue paper.
"So...what do I need to do?", I asked them.
"What if we say you to kill someone", Eric's words made my eyes widen.
"You couldn't possibly–"
"This is the truth Dion", Sara folded her arms.
"But, you both know that we have many people who planted spies around our house...Mostly around us", I bite my lower lip.
"How about you take a look at this and then change your mindset", Eric blandly shoved the piece of paper.
I read the contents, the diagrams, and lastly the part where it says...FIRE!?
"Hey Guys—", They look at me
"—What's up with the fire part?"
