Europe / Russian Empire / St. Petersburg (off Sennaya Square): May 7th, 1817.
It was a beautiful day for the world. The birds were chirping their songs as mankind went about their daily routines with smiles on their faces at beauty of the city, but also sad looks on their faces at the horror of it whether it be financially, emotionally or physically, yet if you were to look closely in saint petersburg at the horrifying blood stained muddy streets filled with dead bodies and uniformed patrolling soldiers. To be more specific, Inside a underground living room.You can see a very handsome light skinned man surrounded by six people that stood out in dirty outfits you wouldn't think the same.
The atmosphere in the living room tense.
(Mordred's POV)
"What did you just say." Said svyatapolk with widened eyes.
I rubbed my forehead and said calmly "We need to leave russia. Immediately."
"I am confused, what is going on, is there something that I am unaware of." Asked svyatapolk confusedly as he looked at every single one of us.
The living was silent. The atmosphere heavy.
Abigail gritted her teeth and said loudly "IT'S MORDRED FAU..."
"AHEM. The reason why I say we must leave is because we have been spotted by Imperial guards. I miscalculated." I said calmly with a sigh as I rubbed my forehead with my eyes closed.
Scyatapolk had wide eyes and a flabbergasted look on his face and said with it turning serious "Tell me everything. Both of you."
Vladimir sighed while nodding and said "Ok. It all began…"
TIMESKIP: A few minutes later.
*PAH*
Svyatapolk slapped the shit out of Vladimir and said loudly with anger "YOU DID WHAT, YOU BASICALLY SOLD US OUT BY JUST SHOOTING AT THEM. WHO DO YOU EVEN TAKE AFTER."
Vladimir held his swollen cheek with shock.
"You..." I said calmly with a shrug.
The living room was silent. The atmosphere tense.
Svyatapolk's glaring eyes landing on me and asked "What did you just say. You want to be a smartass now."
"I said he takes after you. You just displayed the trait he takes after, Impulsivity and I'm not being a smartass when I am smart, get the facts straight. You rat." I said calmly with a sigh.
The living room was absolutely silent. Abigail bowing her head
"Why do I have to explain myself to a rat. It's Inefficient for my lungs"
Svyatapolk trembled with a face full of anger and raised his right hand to hit me, only to feel a gaze piecing the side of his face and looked to his left and seen adelaide staring at him and adjusted his throat and said with his head bowed "Ahem. I apologize for hitting you my son, please forgive me, sorry for being a failure mordred, you are handsome and way more intelligent than me, you will achieve great things in your lifetime."
"Hmph…" Said adelaide quietly with her eyes closed and a small smile creeping on her lips.
"Aunt maggy, is grand papa really a rat. I think he resembles the ones I see on the streets." saud william with a smile while looking up at margaret next to himself.
Margaret licked her fingers while shuffling a stack of 100 dollar bills in her hand and said "200…600…900…hmm, you say something little man."
"N…nothing." Said william stuttering while moving away from margaret and over to me.
*PAK*
I clapped my hand loudly and said calmly "Now that everything is out of the way and shit hit the fan, we need to Immediately leave russia, do not even think of packing anything because all you need right now is your tight and the mon…"
"Already ready." Said margaret with a smile while holding up the big bag full of dollars.
I stared at margaret's silhouette for and said calmly "Uhh…ok, excellent anyway, get too stepping, all of you."
The living room was silent. I started heading down the hallway.
"I'm serious get your asses moving." I said calmly peeking my head around the corner.
Everyone started following me down the hallway.
"W…why can't I pack anything. I need to too change." Said abigal stutteringly next to me with a forehead full of sweat.
I froze and looked at abigail's silhouette and asked calmly "Do you have hidden unhealthy feelings for me."
"No." Said abigail Immediately with a look of disgust on her face.
"Then stop pestering me." I said calmly as I continued walking down the hallway with the rest of the family.
Abigail clenched her fists tightly with gritted teeth, only to feel a gentle hand on her back and looked up and seen adelaide and said stuttering with watery eyes "M…mother. I can't do this anymore, I am to weak to handle any of this, why did bor have to abandon me and his only son william. Now mordred and all of you are people I cannot even recognize anymore...GRAAAAH"
Adelaide was silent. Her arms gently wrapped around abigail cried and vented into her embrace.
The hallway was silent. Abigail starting to calm down as she occasionally sniffed.
"Abigail you want a good life. If you want to live comfortably you need to adapt abigail. I am fully sane and aware of the situation, the challenges and the hardships, but what is life without hardship, heartbreak and dread. You need to adapt, when we step into this new life I want you to be a new version of yourself. I want you to instead of pacifying everything you do, think of the alternatives, think of the outer perspective of things for once. Good and evil dose not exist as two separate entities, there is always going to be a motive behind everything and you will rarely encounter someone who truly has best of you in the heart and if you ever do encounter that fated person. Grab hold and do not let go of that person." Said adelaide calmly and softly as she stroked and rubbed Abigail's head on her chest.
Abigail sniffed momentarily and stood back up straight and wiped her eyes while saying with a smile "Yes. Thank you mother. I really needed this."
Footsteps quickly sounded.
"Can we please bring back the efficiency." I said calmly with squinted eyes and my arms wide open.
"Finally. I'm glad you did that mother, we don't want liabilities because it equals Inefficiency" I thought with a sigh as I started heading back towards the sewage door.
"Stop being mean to your sister mordred. I only looked past it but I've had enough of this." Said adelaide calmly as she swept my right foot with her left.
My right foot landed back on the ground and said calmly as I arrived at the sewage door with margaret, william and vladimir waiting "Nice try. I'm not mean to her, her system is just programmed differently and is Inefficient to my own."
Adelaide was absolutely silent.
"Sorry. I don't follow." Said adelaide calmly with a confused eyes.
William raised his left pointer finger and said while adjusting and a smile "I understand. It means uncle mordred and mother are the ultimate hate and love relationship, it is truly romantic."
The hallway was absolutely silent.
"I'm not digging it at all little man. Not in the least." Said marrgaret with a wave of her right hand as she waddled slowly to the sewage door with her cane in her right hand and her left arm behind her back with the big bag full of dollars.
Vladimir finally coming back to his senses came over to me and asked with a serious look on his face "What is the plan."
"Oh. Look what we have here, your finally back to the land of the Inefficiencies." I said calmly with amazement at how slow his brain processes while I staring at his silhouette.
Vladimir laughed lightly and said with a wave of his left hand as he rubbed his nose in embarrassment with a small smile appearing on his closed eyed face "Yeah. I know you missed me."
"Not at all. Anyway can you open the door." I said calmly while pointing im thr direction of the sewage door.
Vladimir's face Immediately turned serious an went over to the sewage door and opened it.
A wave of pungent stench filled the hallway.
"Oh. It smells like the rat." Said margaret with surprise as she held her nose.
William laughed and pointed at svyatapolk and said "The rat."
"Tch…" Said svyatapolk clicking his teeth as he moved vladimir out of the way and went Inside sewage.
I looked at vladimir, margaret, adelaide and williams silhouettes and said calmly "Vladimir you carry aunt margaret and I will carry william."
"Got it." Said vladimir with a grin as he crouched down in front of margaret.
Margaret stared down at vladimir for a and said with a surprised look on her face "You really have grown up. I can see your hairy ass crack."
The hallway was absolutely silent.
"S…sorry." Said vladimir with an extremely embarrassed look on his face as he adjusted his pants.
Margaret got onto vladimir's back and said with a little laugh "Hahaha. No need to be so ashamed, back in my day women digged the natures calling. The natural masculinity."
"Get on my back. Hurry." I said calmly while crouching in front of william.
Abigail Immediately grabbed william and said while averting her eyes "I will carry him."
"Ok." I said calmly with a shrug as I stood back up fully and entered the sewage with rest of the family following behind me.
A funky smell Immediately hitting my nose.
"It really dose smell like the rat." I said calmly while seeing svyatapolk's silhouette glare at me.
William laughed on abigail's back and pointed at svyatapolk and said loudly "THE RAT."
"Shh…" I said calmly and Immediately with my right finger over my mouth as I focused my hearing and heard water, Insects, and air hitting slightly rattling metal ladder.
I went over to the latter and said calmly "Let's hurry, we need to leave Immediately, enough with the shenanigans."
"Mordred's right." Said svyatapolk with a nod of his head as he glanced at adelaide who was looking at something else. A visible look of disappointment flashing through his eyes.
I grabbed the latter and shook his lightly and said calmly "It's steady. I'll go down first."
"Ok. Be careful." Said adelaide with a nod of her head as she came over to me.
I nodded and got onto the latter and started climbing down.
"There sure is a lot of water. So inefficient" I thought as I jumped down. My feet hitting the ground.
*SPAT*
I looked up and said with my voice rising in pitch slightly "You all can com…"
*SPAT*
"Phew. I guess I need to work out some more like I use too." Said adelaide with a her veiny left wiping her nonexistent sweat filled forehead.
*SPAT*
Vladimir landed on the ground with margaret on his back and said with a serious look on his face "We need to hurry. Especially if we want to catch a ship."
"Your right. The others will catch up " I said calmly as I started making my way in the direction from my memory.
*SPAT*
Abigail landed on the ground and started following with william on her back.
"AHHHHHH." Said svyatapolk screaming at the top of his lungs.
*SPLASH*
Svyatapolk landed face first into the water and said loudly with gritted teeth in pain "FUCK. I think I twisted my ankle."
"Of course you would be the one to get hurt at the last minute, you rat" I thought as I kept walking with the rest of the family down the sewage.
Svyatapolk gritted his teeth in pain as he got up and started limping behind us as he held onto the grimy wall.
"This place is reducing my lung capacity. I need to leave it and russia Immediately or I will be looking for a exit for days and weeks, all of it Just loops back around to being Inefficient at it's core" I thought while tapping my right hand against the grimy ass wall as I made my way down the sewage quickly with my family. A echolocation like map forming inside my mind.
Footsteps quickly sounded.
TIMESKIP: A couple hours later.
"Ugh…my back, are we even close." Asked margaret with a pained voice.
"No. We're actually here." I said calmly while pointing at a huge metal ladder leading upward.
Vladimir had a confused look on his face and asked "Where dose it lead."
"I don't know. Hopefully safe." I said calmly as I started climbing the grimy ladder.
Abigail gritted her teeth and said with worry "Be safe."
I continued climbing and opened the sewage lid and slightly peeked my head out.
*BANK*
"Huh…" I said calmly, my nose picking up a familiar scent.
A man had widened eyes and said with shock and a english accent "Mordred."
…
THE END…
