LOST【SisTheSinister】(SIDE STORY) (COMPLETED)

LOST

Just then, they heard the front door creak. "Uh-oh...!" They whispered and slid into the tablecloth under the table. They could hear the clicking sound of the rain and footsteps of a single person. They were also humming to themselves, they sounded like a woman. She was humming till she saw her table filled with filthy dishes and no food. "Ah." She said, "burglars? Well, I'll make sure they pay." Her tone sounded sweet yet cold. Hana practically shivered as she heard the woman's voice. Just then, the table cloth was lifted and the woman's face was revealed. The children screamed and ran out, or at least attempted to, when the woman grabbed them by the back of their shirts. "So you kids are the ones who ate my food?" The woman smiled, it wasn't a sweet smile, though. This woman has orange eyes, long black hair that's yellow on the ends and tied to a ponytail, an orange scarf and a yellow dress, along with black boots. "And don't even lie to me, kids. Your mouths and clothes and hands are filthy." William and Hana shook in response, knew that they will be in trouble soon. "We're sorry." William said. The woman smiled sweetly. "Well, you're very polite. How lovely. But you'll have to repay me." She puts the both of them down. "Sorry, but who are you?" Hana asked. "Well, I'm pleased you asked, you can call me Spice or Majo-san."

The twins shook in fear, because they knew exactly what the Japanese word Majo means. "Y-y-you're a witch?" William asked. Spice only snickered at his reaction. "Why, yes. A witch of gluttony. I desire food, but you two have displeased me, because you ate my massive buffet." She smiles coldly at the twins. "But, I won't put a curse on you. At least not now. Heh, I would even grant you freedom. On one condition." The witch points at them. "Make me snacks!"

The twins looked at her then to the kitchen, William blurted out, "B-but we never made food before!" Spice grabbed him by the shirt and smirked, "Well, tough luck, kid. You want out, this is the price you'll have to pay, and your sister, too." She puts him down. "If your snacks are delicious, I'll let you go... If not... Well... We'll see." The witch said, "Well, I'll give you till snack time to prepare your foods. And don't even think about escaping, or you're automatically going to face the consequences." Hana remembered what snack time was as she learned from her mother.

"Your grandmother loved snack time. Every time the clock strikes three, she would always call out 'Oh, it's snack time!'"

"Is there any chance that your 'snack time' is three o'clock?" She asked. The witch smiled, "Why yes, girl. A friend of mine loved it and it's a tradition to Eshiyuians." Hana nodded, said, "I knew that." and rushed to the kitchen with her brother.

Within a few hours, the kitchen was filled with smoke and there were several filthy mixing bowls and whisks and spoons on the counter. Luckily, the twins were provided a cooking book from the witch. Before they had started, they asked her what snack she would want, and she points at a particular bread on the book and smiled and said, "I would want brioches. They take a long time to make, but still delicious." So that was what they decided to make. Soon, they heard bells tolling, as if the clock struck three. The witch entered the dining room, with a big smile on her face, and calling out, "Ara, oyatsu no jikan da wa! In Japanese, that means it's snack time, but your time is up." William and Hana abruptly stopped what they were doing and went to face the witch. She looked pleasingly at the table which is filled up with brioches on a plate with a side of jam. "Those looks delicious kids. Which of all is the ones you made?" William points out, "Uhm, the further half is mine." The witch chuckled, "Heheh. Well, I can't wait to try them and punish you if you did badly." She walked over, took one of William's, and bit on it. She had a look of pleasure on her face as she chewed on the delicious bread. She swallowed it then smiled sweetly, "That was delicious, you have satisfied the gluttony in me!" William smiled nervously and said, "Thanks, I guess?"

But then the witch said, "Well, to truly know you won't have punishment, I'll have to try your sister's, too." Hana gritted her teeth in anxiety, because she had taste-tested her brioches, and they weren't so good, but she stayed silent and let the witch eat one of her breads. A split second after she bit on Hana's brioche and nearly swallowed it, she spat it out to let it land on the floor next to her. "Oh dear, I have to clean my floors again." She said, then looked at Hana, who looked nervous and knew she messed up. The witch had a wide grin on her face. "Well, that was horrible. So that clears it up!" She points at the twins, "You will be punished!"

Hana hid behind her brother in fear, and William exclaimed, "What will you do to her?!" The witch smirked and looked at him in the eye, "Correction, what will I do to you?" His eyebrows rose up upon hearing that. "What... do you mean?" He asked, then the witch answered, "I will punish you both. In your way, boy, I will put a curse on you!" The twins shook in fear and backed away from the witch. Hana pulled her brother's arm, yells out, "RUN!" and they rushed for the exit. The front door was still locked, so they ran up the stairs. And to the room where they came in. They dive in through the window, only for them to land on the carpet of the dining room in front of the witch.

"H-HOW?!" William said, standing up and backing away from her. She smiles devilishly and said, "Little boy, what do you think I'm called a witch for?" William backed away more while his sister stayed behind him. "You can't escape, and now you will face the consequences." She grabbed the children by the back of their shirts and lifted them up two feet from the ground. They tried to struggle their way off but it was no use. Soon, black flames burn up on the witch's hands, indicating that she's starting up the curse. "Now you, boy, you will starve for the rest of your days. No matter what you eat, your hunger and the gluttony in you will never be satisfied. However, if you eat your own sister, then you will die, ending your suffering and your starvation. And if you refuse to eat her, you will be hungry forever." Hana's eyes went wide. "What?! No! Don't eat me!" The witch smiled at her, "Well, it's your fault your snacks were terrible, even then, the both of you trespassed and ate my food without permission." William shouted, "You're a monster!" She just smirked, "Well, maybe I am, after all, I was the one who managed that apocalypse of the undead out there, after all. But not my fault you just woke up in my graveyard!" The twins stayed silent. "As a little perk, I'll banish you two to a forest. That way, if you ignore what I said of eating other stuff won't work, then you'll have all those fruits and plants to eat. Heheh, this is goodbye, huh? Despite the short time, I enjoyed your snacks, William. Well, goodbye!" Then everything went black.

The twins woke up in a forest. The moonlight shone down through the trees. They spent about ten days in the forest. Despite all the food they were able to gather, William still was hungry. As they travel through the forest, they still could not find their mother. Soon, one night, William was curled up in a blanket on the grass under a tree while his sister was out to get food. He was so hungry, his stomach and his head hurts so much that he could barely stand, and he knew that he wanted to end the suffering already. He then closed his eyes in pretend to sleep. Soon, Hana came back with a bag full of food. She laid down beside him to sleep. A few minutes later, William opened his eyes and looked at Hana, tempted. He took hold of her hand, and drew it closer to his mouth. Hana stirred from sleep and saw her brother looking at her hand. "What are you doing?" She asked exhaustingly. He then, with all the strength of his teeth and jaw, he bit and ripped off one of her fingers. Hana went fully awake and screamed in pain, and the screaming continues to echo in the forest as William continues to bite her fingers off. She yelled, "WILLIAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?"

But he continued eating. He then ate half of her wrist, then half of her hand, then what remained of her hand and wrist. Blood stained his teeth as he continued, eating several parts of her arm, like an animal. He took a stick from nearby and plucked her eyes out, and she was screaming the entire time. He ate the eyes then bit off her right cheek, then her neck, making the screaming stop. He continued eating parts of her, including her hair and her arm. Everything went silent, he looked at his sister's half-eaten corpse, blood stained her clothes and what was left of her skin, with blood leaking out of her mouth and empty eye sockets. He licked the blood off his lips and teeth. Then he started to feel dizzy. His stomach no longer hurts, but his vision became blurrier. His breathing became tense. He looked down at his body, seeing his sister's blood all over him. "Hah... hah..." He panted. He then collapsed on the ground, and closed his eyes. He started to hear ringing sounds, making him feel more exhausted and the memories of what has happened to him before start to flow into his mind, and for a second, his life flashed before his eyes, before he has decided to weakly hum the lullaby his mother would sing to him every night, before finally slowly passing away.

It's the year 2055. The prince, who everyone thought was dead, struggled his way off the burnt rubble of the palace. He stood up and limped and ran through the forest, his body hurts so much. He collapsed on the grass. The next thing he knew, he woke up in an infirmary of another palace, it was Eshiyuu's. There was a woman who sat next to him. She has black hair, blue eyes, and wore a yellow and red gown. It was Erin Lucifen Sato, the queen of Eshiyuu. "Are you alright?" She asked. The prince groaned in pain. "N-no..." He said. "Wh-where's my mom and dad...?" Erin looked away. "Y-your mother is dead. And I don't know where your father is..." The prince started to cry softly and covers his face. The queen hugged him. "It's alright... It's alright... I'm sorry...
