the Prologue

A sigh escapes my lips for the tenth time today as I look across the table at my little sister. She is giving me a bright smile full of love.

"how am I supposed to get my wording right if you keep looking at me like that!?" I protest once again. I knew that I should have asked somebody else to help me practice the lines of an evil ruler, but sadly I have no friends and if you know my sister you would understand that she is just to adorable for a 10 year old. Which means if she wants anything all she has to do is give our dad a sad look and complain. Witch would be more of a pain in my ass then bringing her along could ever be.

While I am thinking about how she can pretty much control our parents she breaks me out of my thoughts by saying. "Sorry but I am just glad your spending time with me since your always busy" she gives me a pouting face that would make most people spoil her while I just roll my eyes and let out a sigh once again.

"You know that I wont be manipulated like that right? If I could be controlled so easily how could I ever dream of being an Evil Ruler!?" I ask as she giggles and hugs onto my arm.

"But that's why I love you! most people only act the way they do around me because I am cute but you treat everybody the same. though I do wish you would stop with the being evil stuff and be a charming hero instead" she looks up at me with big round eyes as she holds my arm close. As the only person I have ever loved she is almost as evil as me with that manipulating personality.

"But what is a hero without the villain? They are nothing, they always lose even when they win! But if you are evil, then you lose when you lose, but when you win you truly win... anything that you want is in your grip! with all of the action... the bloodshed... and the FEAR!!!" I start breathing faster as I raise my arms above my head looking up to the ceiling and try out a deep laugh where I grab my head half way through. "MAW-HA-HA-HA-HAH" I run my fingers down my face and look down at my sister "that is the life that I want..." afters a short silence clapping fills the air.

"He-he good job brother! but why did you put your hands on your head?" she asked slightly tilting her head to the side as I once again let out a sigh.

"its supposed to add to making me look insane and your not supposed to clap which means it is another failure" as a frown crosses my face I end up looking through the fridge and find that we are out of orange juice which is by far my favorite drink. I turn my head to my little sister and let a slow smile creep onto my face trying to make it as creepy as possible "wanna go to the store I will buy you ice cream" The more I practice the more it will become natural so I use evil lines from movies or my imagination as well as any creepy face i can think of every chance I get... which if you think about it then it explains my lake of friends or a love life.

As my sister jumps up and hugs me she dose a little spin in her new black dress I got her. With the Gothic dress, pale face, long bland hair, and deep blue eyes I can already tell people will think she is adorable and no matter how I try to make her look evil or intimidating it only ever comes out as adorable on her. Which makes me feel like a failure of an evil ruler that I aspire to be.

Before we leave the house I look into the mirror to fix up my appearance. I am wearing a black silk shirt, black jeans, finger-less black gloves, and a black cloak with a hood. When I look into the mirror i see a thick young man with slick backed black hair, dark green eyes, a crooked grin, with hands at the side with twitchy fingers, but the best of all is my belt which is a snakes spine with the head looking out just enough to see it in the shadows of my cloak. All together I look like a truly evil person which makes the wicked smile on my face turn into a malevolent grin.

My sister giggles and grabs my arms and looks up at me with a smile. "do you think we look like we are the son and daughter of the Mob? He-he Daddy will be mad if he knew you where going at like that!" she teases me which makes my grin drop to a scowl which is less intimidating then the smile which as I notice this I scowl more and realize why my sister said that and I give her a ruffle on the head messing her hair up before throwing the door open. "Fine hurry up lets go then!" I say in an upset tone as I hear her giggle once again and catch up to grab onto my arm again.

The trip to the store was uneventful as nobody seen my face with my hood and my sisters cute face hidden in my arm as she hums merrily. But as we walked into the store that's when shit just went wrong. There where seven men in full black wearing ski masks while holding fully automatic rifles. I pull my hood down and let out a deep sigh as everybody turns to look at us. What the fuck should I do in this situation? I cant walk away they got guns and no I can not outrun a bullet so that plan is a no! I could fight them? Are you crazy its seven full grown guys with guns... so you want to know what I plan to do? I am going to go grab some orange juice and pay for it walking out like there is nothing going on and that is my plan. I let a smile float to my face as I think of this truly amazing plan as even if I die at least I wont be a pussy like the rest of these people on the floor. But sadly I lose control of the situation as I am broken out of my thoughts by my little sister as she giggles drawing everyone's attention off of me.

"He-he big brother you better not forget that you said I could get ice cream!" she smiles and pulls on my arm like we didn't just walk into a full blown robbery. She looks at one of the men robbing the place and gives him her puppy dog eyes which makes him uncomfortable which i can see as he squirms a little "would you mind getting me cookie dough ice cream!?" she says in a sweet voice stunning everybody in the room including me.

As the man goes to say something to my sister the shortest guy there who is physically trembling and looking at me with weird eyes walks over and whispers something to the other guy's ear that my sister was talking to and whom I suspect is the leader of these criminals. The only thing that is going through my mind is for the love of god I am not gay and he better not think I am cute or I will flip. He keeps looking at my crotch like a pervert and it is pissing me off. I end up subconsciously glaring at them before I rub my temples at how fucked up today was and look down at my sister "you should have asked for orange juice as well" I say plainly. I figured why the fuck not go with it i am already figuratively screwed and plan to at least take one with me as I give time for my little sister to run. As i get ready to charge at one something that shouldn't have happened plays out in front of me.

POV - Jimmy Cross (short robber in the ski mask)

Me and the crew where doing our first job for our new boss Mr.Freed which is the local mid boss around here. He is a person who dose what ever he wants on these streets and he only has to answer to HIM. HE runs a gang in New York and Pennsylvania called the Bone boys. The people who know the boss never speak his name and most people never get to meet him.

If you find this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the infringement.

There is a rumor going around that HE dose not exist but I know the truth. My friend Calvin is a mid boss, which all nine of the mid boss get an opportunity to meet HIM, and from what Calvin told me just looking at HIM makes people look down at the ground. HE never wears a shirt, is missing an eye, and always has a cigar in HIS mouth. Calvin also said that all Mid boss have to have an animal skull on them at all time to prove who they are. The nine mid boss each symbolizes an animal. [The Crow - Calvin], [The Bear - Boris Brown], [The Human - Kane], [The Fox - Sakura], [The Wolf - Hoffmen], [The Tiger - Terra Morse], [The Bull - Peloros], [The Mouse - Freed], and the worst of all [The Snake - ] who in place of a name simple smeared blood in his slot. As for our first job all we have to do is hold up a store and distract the cops before getting away and then we are in the gang. It seemed like an easy job and we where all excited. First we dug a hole in the sewer to the bathroom before we broke in and made everybody lay on the ground and held them at gun point. Since we had to wait for the cops anyway we decided to rob the cash register while we where here anyway. As we where taking the money some guy around the age of 20 comes in with his little sister. there was an awkward silence before he pulls his hood down showing a pale face with a twisted smile that sent chills down my back. The cute little girl breaks the silence and draws all of our attention as she starts to giggle.

"He-he big brother you better not forget that you said I could get ice cream!" she smiles and pulls on the young mans arm and as I look around everybody has their mouths open as if they cant believe what she just said.

Who the fuck do these people think they are!? At this point we will have to shoot them I mean if we want to join the gang we cant be insulted like this and let the people go... plus if we kill people the gang will trust as more. As I am about to raise my gun I see it. A shiver runs down my spine as I see the snake skull and I look over him again. He has a crooked evil grin on his pale face, a black cloak that could be hiding any number of weapons, his hands are twitching and that hungry look in his eye. I am about to panic as my eyes go back to the snake head around his waist and I swallow realizing the lump in my throat for the first time.

"would you mind getting me cookie dough ice cream!?" I hear an angelic voice and turn my head to find the little girl asking our leader Greg to get her ice cream. Looking back over at the snake head i slightly hurry and lean over to whisper to Greg extremely nervous now.

I start to whisper into Greg's ear my voice shaking "t-t-thats th-th-the S-S-Snake!!! what the fuck should we do... your supposed to be in charge don't get us killed and fix this!" I pretty much hiss in his ear as I hear him gulp at the name Snake. Much to my relief Greg bows to the little girl and tells her that it would be his pleasure and she can take as much ice cream as she wants. The rest of us bow to the young man I now know is snake and prey he wont kill us.

POV - Sven Deegen (MC)

Such an amazing feeling to have people bow before you and serve you! It had to be the happiest moment in my life as I felt I finally had some minions. As I smile happily the worst possible thing happened at that moment. The SWAT busted in the door and lifted their guns up and pointed them at me. I know what it looks like but for the love of god why dose it have to end like this!? I grab my sister and hug her hiding her so she wont get shot as the SWAT opens fire on anybody who is not laying on the floor. In other words me and the seven robbers ended up full of holes as everybody else was safe. In that moment I swore in my next life I would be evil and not just pretend to be. Looking down at my little sister I had the purest smile on my face hoping she wouldn't cry to much I said my final words.

"I guess in the end I was believable after all huh?" I cough up a mouth full of blood as I wipe a tear from the corner of her eye. "villains never cry... plus tears look bad on somebody so adorable"

POV - Ruri Deegen (MC Little Sister)

Today was the best day ever! my brother spent all day playing with me and in return all i had to do was help him with his whole stupid evil ruler cosplay stuff. He is such a loser but for some reason he has this unique charm and even though brother wont realize it a lot of girls blush when they see him but his stupid evil and creepy smile act drives them away.

My brother works every day from morning to night except for Saturdays and he decided to spend his only free time with me! He-he can you believe how much of a dork he is? But best of all after i listened to him complain nobody thinks he is evil and practice his stupid lines for the tenth time he says I can get ice cream I am so excited!

When we get there people are standing around holding props trying to be scary but they are not even close to as good as brother. If he told me we where going to another role-play place of comic-con or whatever I would have still agreed he didn't have to try and trick me to wear this dress it is really cute. That and I enjoy spending time with my brother he is always so nice to me.

The nice man in the costume went to get my ice cream and the next thing I know my brother is hugging me tightly and it feels very nice. He dose not hug me as much as he used to anymore because villains don't hug people he says... he is such a dolt. But when I look up at him the smile on his face is so pure and amazing I end up blushing. Is he trying to steal my manipulation by looks tactic?

"I guess in the end I was believable after all huh?" I confused as he cough's up a mouth full of blood onto the floor and I start to panic and cry. He wipe's a tear from the corner of my eye. "villains never cry... plus tears look bad on somebody so adorable" he says before he falls to the floor and stops moving.

I hear a high pitch scream as I look down at my brothers face tears flowing freely as I shake his shoulders. As I go to tell him to wake up I realize I am already screaming and crying so I shut my mouth to force the words from my mouth instead of that high pitch scream. "Brother! come on... wake up... please!" I hug him close and cry.

People tried pull me away but I wouldn't let go time passed and soon mom was next to me crying and shaking me telling me to let go. That was the day everything changed. My brother wasn't the only one to die that day... I died with him.
