Dee Metal Family Novels & Stories

"I love you, too." Twenty-four hours later, Bart graciously deposited me in my parents' driveway and told me he'd see me Sunday night for dinner. The four of us-Bart, Jet, Todd, and me-still met up in the cafeteria for most meals, but Sunday night was a ritual none of us missed. And as much as I enjoyed them, I wasn't praying for it to come quickly, because it would also signal the end to my time home with Jude. The front door was unlocked, and Hensley's car was in the driveway. As soon as I stepped foot inside the foyer, I could smell freshly baked cookies and hear her humming in the kitchen. "Mom?"

"You and your family have truly suffered a horrible death, Fred—an entire family gone just like that, without even leaving a descendant behind!" I stared blankly at the scene as a sudden burst of wailing echoed in my ears. I noticed three coffins lined up neatly before me, holding the bodies of Wendy Lowe, Fred Lancaster, and Draco Lancaster—Mom, Dad, and my younger brother. Those who were mourning so passionately were Shawn Lancaster and Olivia Smith—my uncle and aunt from the countryside.

It was the first time Alec Lightwood brought a girl with him to events. Alec reached out his hand to hold the Goddess's hand. “Come, let's go inside, Grace.” Gracelynn Miller flashed out her heart-whelming smile at him and placed her hand on his. The Miller family was one of the Mighty Three, the top three most reputable families in D.C. Their financial power and Influence were undrivable in D.C. Alec and Gracelynn were barely at the entrance when another shout split the air. “Zade Meadows! Zade Meadows is here as well!”

It seemed as though he was screaming, but none could hear a sound coming from him. A moment later, everyone heard a thunderous voice yelling in their mind, "Leave!" Even I, who was at home, felt my head spin after experiencing that. To everyone's surprise, the group of zombies swiftly disappeared from the general public's sight like an ebbed tide. Dad, the only mutant who possessed mind power in this city, became a messiah-like icon. When the day of Christmas Eve arrived, our family was even invited to the base leader's home for a gathering.

"That’s alright. Just remember, if you need anything in the future, come to us." I bit down until my lips nearly bled and gave a timid nod. The moment we stepped out of the station, Dad slapped me across the face. Mom yanked my hair, dragging my ear to her mouth, hissing curses. "Filthy little slut." Aiden didn’t strike me, but his eyes never left my belly, like he was itching to cut the child out right there. This time, I let them. I endured the blows and insults without a shred of resistance.

At least Tessa would have a chance to attend a better school. But the day before we were supposed to leave to look for a place, I got a call from my younger brother, Henry Weber. After graduating high school, Henry had been working odd jobs far away. I only saw him once a year at Christmas. "Hattie, I wouldn't call unless I had no other choice. I'm sick. I need money for treatment. Can you help me ask Arthur for a loan?" The words hit me like a hammer. My vision went dark. Our parents died early. Henry was three years younger than me. We grew up relying on each other.

"Don't blame Connie, Mom. It's my fault. I have caused you so much trouble. I shouldn't have taken the coat from her…" Before she finished, Dad grabbed me and slammed me to the ground. He roared, "A cold-blooded thing like you doesn't deserve to live in this loving family!" I cried and begged him to stop. But the more I cried, the more he was convinced that I felt no remorse. His claws landed harder and harder. Mom and Nathan stood at a distance, their faces indifferent. It was as if I weren't part of the family, just a filthy rogue they didn't recognize.

After being scolded, the three of them lowered their heads in silence. I couldn’t help but chuckle. When it came to cutting words, no one could beat Lucy. Her tongue was like a blade dipped in poison. Seeing they had come, Lucy patted the dust off her clothes and got up to leave. My family laid the food in front of my tombstone and began talking to me. Mom had cried herself blind. My parents were hunched over, their bodies frail and trembling.

After answering, the young assistant's expression also changed. His face was complex, his voice trembling with emotion. "Mr. Ashwood... the DNA... the DNA comparison results are in." "The deceased... is your sister, Jocelyn Ashwood!"
