Prologue
One Sunday night, three kids named Midnight, her sister Darknight, and their brother Ash were hanging out on the fifth floor of their house. Midnight was reading and eating Jell-O, Darknight was practicing her fighting skills, and Ash was playing his guitar. They all got along just fine, then the three of them heard a loud explosion! Midnight dropped her spoon and quickly got off the window bench and started down the stairs, the others followed. They ran down the stairs to their five-story house without a word. They went to the basement of their shed, where there parents worked all the time (since their parents were scientists). The three kids saw their parents lying on the floor, unconscious, Ash didn't stop, he dashed over to his father and dropped to his knees; Calling 911 with the cell phone he took out of his dad's plaid t-shirt pocket.
When they got to the hospital, the doctor told them that their parents' injuries were too severe and that he couldn't help them. As soon as they got home, the three of them sat in a triangle of salt with one candle at each corner and a ring of fire around each sibling. Their parents told them that it was the best way to calm the mind, sitting together on the fourth floor for a long time.
Midnight's Adventure
Chapter 1
July 20, 2010
Five months past and it was Monday morning, Ash and Midnight got up, they had showered the night before so they just slipped on the male school uniform. Darknight was the only one to shower that morning, the way the pants sat on her non-curved hips felt good, the way her loose shirt felt perfect. She grabbed her brush and fought with tangles, Darknight lifted up her bangs and waved a hand in front of her right eye; not even a shape, she dropped her bangs and left her black colored bathroom. Darknight's room walls were black and dark red drapes covered her windows, she snapped her fingers and her door swung open, she walked out and kicked it shut, she went to the stairs at the end of the dark hall and down into the kitchen. There was already a bowl of hot Macaroni & Cheese on the table, Midnight, also dress in the male school uniform, was finishing her salad, and Ash, obviously in the male uniform, was washing out his bowl that used to have oatmeal in it. Ash grabbed his and Darknight's backpacks; he swung his green backpack over one shoulder. Handing his little sister her backpack, she set her bowl in the sink and chugged down her orange juice, Midnight walked over to her black and dark gray messenger bag. Ash clipped a black dog collar with spikes, around his neck and handed Darknight one too; Midnight clipped hers on as well. Outside, ready for school, were their friends Luckie, who was sitting in the grass, Shadow, who was leaning on the doorframe, and Storm, who was reading a book, waited patiently to walk to school with the siblings.
Halfway to school, as they walked on the blacktop road, Ash spook up and told them what had happened to their parents several months ago.
They thought it was sad until Midnight budded in, "My dad gave me this crystal, but he didn't tell me what it was for because mom came running up saying 'IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE! I can't believe it's done!' I asked 'what's done?' and dad say's, 'what we've been working on all year! We'll bring it up so you can see,' so they ran to the shed and boom, they're gone." Her eyes narrowed as she thought of the crystal in her black and dark gray messenger bag.
"What does it look like?" Shadow asked suspiciously, adjusting the skirt that went with the girl uniform.
"Well it...oh, wait I brought it with me." Midnight said, unclipping and opening her bag and rummaged through her books, "It's red like Darknight's eyes," She added, her fingers brushed across something smooth, she immediately gripped it and pulled it out, and held the red crystal out in the still silent air. "See," She added.
Since you can never see Darknight's eyes, she pulled her hair out of the way, it was a perfect match in color, "As Ash forgot to mention, our parents could see the past, present, and future." Darknight said immediately, "But of course," She continued, "When Dad gave it to you; he might have seen something that will happen, has happened, or is happening right now."
Ash had this strange feeling that someone was watching them as they made their way to school, little did Ash know, he was right, Abby Diven, and her identical twin Dana, and Jack, were secretly following them from a distance. From the third grade, Jack had been trying to kill Darknight since she killed his dad while practicing her powers, and he has also been trying to get Midnight to become his girlfriend. However, Midnight and Jack have gone to several "tourist attractions," he calls them dates, she calls it having fun.
Poison Darknight's food, or drink, making her want to commit suicide. What if we somehow got the crystal? What if it controlled her, but how will we get it? I know that neither Darknight nor her friends will ever let us have it; but- A voice in Jack mind was saying when a sharp pain went through his head and Midnight started talking again, "It'll stay with me-" She was cut off by Darknight.
"Why with you?" She asked.
"Because dad gave it to me not you." Midnight replied.
"Staying with Midnight, hmm…" Jack never stop thinking about it, even through school and after he got home, lying in bed.
In the middle of the night, Jack got up to get a drink. "I've got it, since you love Midnight maybe she'll let you see it." The voice said, only using Jack voice,
"I'll never let you lay one finger on that crystal." Jack growled at the voice.
"Oh don't worry about me touching it, for you are the one to take it." The voice ushered him, Jack growled. "Oh, shut up and go back to bed." Jack obeyed and back to bed he went.
The next morning Jack quickly showered, pulled on his clean, Tide-smelling, cloths, and combed his short dark brown hair. He looked at his reflection in the mirror, he had freckles across his cheeks and nose, When did those get there? He thought.
"Time for school!" His mom yelled up the stairs to the second floor, which was where his room was.
"Coming ma!" Jack called back to her, and trotted to the kitchen, gobbled down his toast, put his napkin in the trashcan, and gulped down his milk. His mom ruffled his hair, another pain jolted through his head, "Ugh…" Jack mumbled,
"What?" His mother asked.
"Nothing…bye." He said running out to catch the bus.
At school, Midnight walked down the hall to her locker, reading her favorite book, "Broken Soul," she was so absorbed in it that she felt as if she was ripped out of the real world and placed into the fantasy of her book. The world around her came back in an instant as she felt someone's arms wrap around her and pulling her close to his chest. She looked at the arms that surrounded her, the shape of the muscles under the very pale skin, against her own, looked familiar. She looked up to see Jack; "Hey," He said, "Enjoying the book I got you for your birthday?" Midnight nodded, "Good girl." He said. Midnight placed her pirate skull bookmark in her book to hold her place, closed it, and placed it in her messenger bag; Midnight moved away as Jack released her.
"Hey, you want to come over to my house after you're done with your homework today?" He asked Midnight, and of course, she said,
"Yes! I would love to!"
Jack got excited, so he told Midnight tonight at 5:00 p.m., Midnight said that she wasn't busy so Jack asked if she would like to eat dinner with him too.
"That would be great!" Midnight said.
"Thank you so much Midnight!" Jack said grabbing Midnight's shoulders and kissed her on the forehead, "I mean, thanks, see you then, right?" Jack said more calm and gentlemanly .
"Right see you then, Jack." Midnight replied.
I can't believe that she said yes, we rock! Now we can see if the crystal controls Darknight! The voice appeared in his head again. "Get out of my head!" Jack yelled,
Don't get your hopes up, son. She said.
"I like you…" Midnight said aloud without noticing.
"Who are you talking to Midnight?" Luckie asked poking her head in front of Midnight's, for once, someone who could actually make the girls' uniform look good.
"Hm…? Oh, no one Luckie, it's nothing...um, should we get to class?" Midnight asked, she and Luckie have some classes together; she also has two classes with Jack. On cue, the bell rang a long loud noise.
"Time for school!" Darknight said dashing by as she chased a male teenager, with a frightful look on his face, down the hall. The teenager sharply turned the corner and Darknight, coordinately, fallowed. Midnight shook her head as she watched Darknight disappear around the corner.
"Midnight why are you standing there? It's time for class, come on!" Shadow yelled at Midnight while she walked by.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Midnight said, and then she ran to class.
That night, after she finished her homework, Midnight grabbed her bag and opened the door, but Ash stopped her,
"Where are you going, Midnight?" He asked as he finished walking down the stairs.
"Yeah, you never go out after we get home from school." Darknight said lying on the couch with her eyes closed.
"I'm just going on a walk to get some fresh air," Midnight said as she ran out the door, slamming it behind her.
"Okay, bye…!" Ash started to the kitchen to get a soda, and then stopped in his tracks. "No… I don't think she's just going for a walk, I mean she always stays home after school and reads." Ash hesitated.
"It is kind of strange that she's going out for a walk and not to the library. What do you think Ash?" Darknight asked.
"Well, I'm going to fallow her to see if she's really going on a 'walk,'" Ash added as he started out the door.
"I'm coming with you." Darknight replied as she followed him, nearly tripping over the step up to the door, and shut it behind them.
Back to Midnight, she was riding her skateboard to Jack's house when, she saw him going home with chocolate, flowers, and one big comforter, so Midnight thought that she would go the long way, so Jack would have time to get ready.
After somewhat minutes, Midnight arrived at Jack's house and rang his doorbell, which made this grandfather clock sound that echoed in her mind. Shortly, Jack opened the door, a breeze of freezing air pored out the door, and a chill went down her spin that gave her the goose bumps.
"You made it!" He said surprisingly, "Are you cold?" He asked letting her in.
"Don't act surprised Jack, you knew I would come. And actually yes, I am cold." She replied, setting her skateboard down next to the couch, she sat down and covered up in the giant comforter, "Say, do you want to help me figure out what something does?" She asked as she reached out to grab some chocolate that was in a black and gold bowl, next to a vase that had red, and one black, roses.
"Where did you get it?" Jack asked, sitting down awfully close to Midnight, he put his arm around her and the comforter and pulled her close to him.
Therefore, Midnight told Jack the story about her parents.
"How sad," Jack said, Midnight slid down and rested her head on Jack's lap; the two of them sat there and talk, shortly Jack's mom called them for diner.
Jack and Midnight left the room. Ash and Darknight peeked in the window,
"I knew she wasn't just going for a walk, because she's at Jack's house. I bet they kissed already." Ash said as he turned and looked at Darknight.
"Why are you obsessed with them kissing?" Darknight wondered while turning her head, her brother's green eyes set on her red ones, "Wait is that the crystal?" He asked looking out the corner of her eye. "It is! And I bet that Jack's going to try to do something with it!" Ash said in shock as he set his gaze on the shiny red crystal, lying on the coffee table.
Later: "That was a delicious dinner Mrs. Night, but-" Midnight was saying when Jack's mother interrupted her,
"Please, call me Maple." She said,
"I should be getting home." Midnight said, bowing politely, grabbed her skateboard, then she started for the door. Maple nudged Jack to go after her,
"Wait, I have a good idea about the crystal!" He said, "What if it…um, controlled something?"
"Well it could, you do have a good imagination, Jack," Midnight replied, gripping the doorknob, "But I will give you two more days to try and think of more ideas, okay? Bye," She added as she went out, Quick! Go after her! We need data! Maple's voice appeared in Jack's mind, his body moved involuntarily after her.
"Quick hide in the bushes!" Ash whispered quietly as Darknight dashed into two side-by-side bushes and Ash followed, Jack grabbed Midnight's arm, turned her around, and hugged her; Midnight hugged back. Good, give me more, Maple's voice said,
"You should stay a little longer; we could hang out at the park. You know, spend so time with each other." Jack said,
"No I should really go." Midnight said, and started to leave when Jack grabbed the skateboard out of her hand, "C'mon Jack, give it back."
"Stay longer," His mother's speech came out instead of his.
"No I shouldn't, Ash and Darknight would get worried." She said.
"Call them and tell them that you'll be a little longer." Jack said, suddenly his mom walked out.
"Jack, I'm going to get some groceries, after how much you and Midnight ate tonight, our stalk is running low. So I'll be back in an hour or so." Mrs. Night said, and ruffled her sons hair, more pain went through his head, Jack moaned, and raised a hand to his head.
"Are you okay?" Midnight asked,
"Oh don't worry about him, he's been having headaches for the past month or so," Maple said,
"Okay, we'll be here." Jack said, recovering.
"Good bye, Mrs. Night." Midnight said, and bowed politely again. Jack's mom got into their greenToyotatruck and drove off.
"Now I need to go, so give me my skateboard back."
"No, not until you stay longer, I promise you won't regret it." He said.
Midnight tried to grab her skateboard but Jack raised it above his head. "C'mon Jack, I'm only four foot nine, you're like fourteen inches taller than me!" Midnight said.
"Sixteen. And you're not getting this back until you stay." Jack said walking back into his house. Midnight chased after him, Jack shut the door behind them and locked it.
"So that's how Jack is with Midnight." Ash said.
"He sure is stubborn." Darknight said.
"Fine, I'll stay." Midnight said, pulling out her cell phone from her bag, "But I'm calling Ash and telling him where I am, plus I told them I was going on a walk."
"That's one long walk." Jack said. He just locked the door and faced her; she held her black phone in her hand. "But if you want too, go ahead and call him." Midnight typed in her brother's number. Ash pick up on the second ring. "Yo." Ash said into the phone.
"Hey, I'm going be a little longer than I thought," Midnight said.
"Where are you?"
"At a friend's house."
"Which one,"
"Jack's and we're going hang out for a while. Is that okay?"
"Just remember that we've got school tomorrow, okay? See you later. Bye." Ash said.
"Bye," Midnight said and hung up. Jack was leaning against the doorway, "He didn't care if I stayed or not." Midnight said.
"Come here you," Jack said, grinning.
"Nope I'm good." Midnight said, sitting down on the couch. He walked over to her and grabbed her small waist, hauled Midnight over his shoulder and walked up the stairway and into his room. He dropped her on his bed, "Now sit there, and close your eyes." Jack said pointing at her. Midnight did so. Jack left the room and returned holding a box with a bow on it; he laid the box on her lap. Midnight opened her eyes, "Is this for me?" She asked. He nodded. She quickly ripped open the box; a book laid at the bottom. "How did you know I needed the next book?" Midnight asked.
"I just know you, I guess." Jack replied. She smiled, stood up, and hugged him. "How about I go make us some smoothies, would you like that?" he asked, Midnight nodded, and he left. Midnight walked around Jack's room looking at each photograph pinned on the walls and setting in piles on his desk and dresser, she heard the blender going off downstairs; She looked at one picture of Jack's dad. She picked up the photo when Jack walked in. "I got the smoothies," He announced, Midnight didn't look up, "What're you looking at?" He asked.
"Your dad," Midnight said in a low voice, Jack sighed, Get that picture away from her, she and her sister share the same blood, she is a monster! Jack's mom shouted in his head, drowning out his own thoughts. "Jack?" Midnight startled him, "Are you still mad?"
"No," Jack said, "I mean yes." His mother forced him to say, "No I'm not." Jack argued, "Yes you are," His mother, again, forced him to say, "A little," They agreed on, "Why?" He asked setting the smoothies down on his nightstand as his body moved itself to sit down next to Midnight. She looked a little puzzled by his conversation with himself, she looked back at the photo.
"I just wanted to know," She said, Jack grabbed the picture out of her hand and set it back on the nightstand, "Come here," He said, wrapping his arms around her, she buried her face into his chest. This is a good time to get more data, his mother thought in her sons mind, Get out of my head mom. Jack thought, You know the risks if I did, Jack. And we both know that that will never happen since I don't have enough of her memories yet. Maple thought back, he reached over and grabbed a smoothie. "Here, try some," He said, trying to start a conversation. Midnight looked at the cup in his hand and the straw. She took a sip of the pink beverage, it was quiet satisfying too. Once they finished off their drinks, Midnight and Jack went outside and laid in the grass of his backyard, his mom hadn't returned yet. They laid out there talking, Midnight rested her head on his chest, and he had his arm around her, they listened to Jack's IPod while looking at the stars.
"Jack, what time is it?" Midnight asked
"I don't know," Jack replied.
"I should go." She said.
"Why? You could spend the night here."
"No, I shouldn't. You and your mom did enough already." Midnight said getting up, but Jack stopped her and pulled her back down.
"You need to stop worrying and start enjoying." Jack said, he turned on his side and faced Midnight; he got up after sometime and picked Midnight up too. They went inside and back into Jack's room, Midnight grabbed her bag and new book, headed back down the stairs, told Jack that she really needed to leave and got three steps out the door before Jack grabbed her arm and looked her in the eyes. "Don't go," He said in a stern voice,
"Jack we've been through this already." Midnight said,
"Don't leave without a kiss." He said.
Ash and Darknight, still in the bushes, looked at each other wide-eyed, Ash quickly looked back at his sister and Jack.
"What?" Midnight asked.
"You're not going, not without a kiss." Jack repeated, Yes the best way to get the most data is through lip contact! Maple shouted in her sons mind, before Midnight could reply, Jack pressed his lips against hers. Midnight didn't know what to do, she was shocked, her mind didn't know what to think, so she pulled away. And quickly left on her skateboard, No I was so close to breaking the wall that blocks me out of her memories! Maple shouted in Jack mind, pain went through his head. Jack went into his backyard, grabbed his IPod and went inside, locked the front door, and headed to his room.
Once the coast was clear, Ash told Darknight to pick the lock so they can get the crystal and get back home before Midnight did, so she wouldn't think something was up.
After Ash and Darknight got the crystal, by their luck, Midnight stopped at an ice cream shop so that gave them the prefect opportunity to get home before her,
Midnight returned to her home with chocolate, strawberry, and peanut butter ` n ` chocolate ice cream and brownies, she couldn't get her legs to stop shaking.
Ten minutes later, Ash was playing his guitar, Darknight was sleeping, and Midnight came out of the kitchen with a green bowl-full of three raw steaks. She whistled and a black wolf ran out from under the couch that Darknight was on, and came to Midnight, and sat down in front of her. Midnight set the bowl down and the wolf bit into the top steak. Then the doorbell rang and Darknight shot up immediately. Midnight walked over to the door, "Hello?" Midnight asked, poking her head out the door.
"Hi Midnight...um I need to talk to you about the crystal-" Jack was saying when Midnight slapped a hand over his mouth and whispered in his ear,
"I don't want you to say a thing about the crystal in front of Darknight or Ash, okay?" Midnight said. He nodded, she "dragged" him in the elevator to the third floor, before the elevator door shut, the wolf ran in and sat next to Midnight with a red mouth.
"Okay, what did you needed to talk to me about the crystal?" Midnight asked, as they walk out of the elevator.
"Well I can't find it! Please don't hit me!" Jack yelped raising both hands to protect his face, and bended his knees a little.
"What are you talking about? I thought I could trust you! Ugh." Midnight growled and her wolf growled with her, then she punched him in the stomach. His knees hit the floor as he wrapped his hands around his stomach, and bent over until his head touched the floor. "I can't believe you, you stupid maniac! I hate you!" Midnight said and the wolf barked, as she took his wrist and literally dragged him down the stairs and out the door, but the wolf didn't follow, "And don't even think about coming back!" Midnight shouted as angry filled her voice before she slammed the door.
"What was that all about?" Ash asked as Midnight furiously turned around, her hands balled into fists. At that moment Midnight knew that she couldn't keep a secret anymore so, therefore, Midnight told them what happened while she was at Jack's house, and Ash and Darknight told Midnight what they did while she was gone, so they all apologized that they didn't tell each other the truth, and Ash gave her back the crystal.
"I should go and tell Jack that I'm sorry about what I did to him." Midnight said.
"NO!" Ash shouted as he grabbed her arm, his muscles tensing under his not quit tan skin, "You can't," Ash added "And plus he deserved whatever you did to him," He mumbled in a small voice that no one could hear the last commit he made.
"And why not?" Midnight asked, jerking her arm out of her brother's grip.
"Because I don't want you to, and besides I want to know what you see in him. I mean he's a jerk and stupid, and I just don't want you dating him!" Ash replied with a little bit of frustration in his voice.
"We're not dating we just see each other a lot, okay!" Midnight said with a little bit of confusion in her voice,
"Have you and Jack been going out at all?" Ash asked.
"Yeah so, it's no big deal," Midnight replied.
"How many places?" Ash asked, pointing at her.
"Two, one hug, and one kiss." Midnight said pushing his hand away.
"So you did kiss him! I knew it." Ash said pointing at Midnight again.
"It was on his cheek! The cheek!" Midnight lied, pointing her finger at him, "And why are you obsessed with us kissing?"
"I asked the same thing." Darknight budded in.
"Wait, and you didn't tell us! Moreover, I'm so not obsessed with you two kissing. I just want to know what my little sister is doing at all times." Ash said while raising his voice, ignoring Darknight.
"One: no, because you wouldn't have let me 'date' him, and two: you sooo are obsessed!" Midnight yelled as she gripped the neck of Ash's guitar that he was playing and smashed it.
"My guitar! Why did you do that Midnight?" Ash shouted as he pick up his broken guitar. He lowered his head, got up and walked in the elevator went to the second floor grabbed Midnight's favorite book off her reading bench, went back down, showed Midnight, ripped it in haft and burned it into little tiny peaces of ashes in the fireplace.
"That was my favorite book Ash!" Midnight screamed at the same time that their friends walked through the door.
"What's going on in here?" Shadow asked in suspicion with a frown on her face and her hood up.
"He ripped and burned my favorite book!" Midnight shouted,
"She smashed my guitar!" Ash shouted at the same time as Midnight, they glared the same murderous look at each other.
"Wow, what's going on in here, Darknight?" Storm asked.
"Well you see…" Darknight explained to her friends the situation, "…And that's why their fighting and I have absolute no intention of getting in between them." Darknight said, "But if one of you guys have the guts to put your life on the line to stop them, be my guest." Darknight added.
"Well we kind of are your guests. And why did we see Jack walking down the road looking as if he were about to pass out?" Storm asked.
"Okay stand back, hiya!" Shadow said, she snapped her fingers and made a wall of fire in between the two fight siblings. "Now stop you two, I've had enough of this nonsense. So forgive each other and we can all move on!" Shadow yelled.
"I'm not going to apologize to her, because she started it by dating that… guy… and breaking my guitar!" Ash said with a frown.
"Well I'm not going to forgive him because he ruined my favorite book! More importantly, he won't let me see Jack! And we're not dating so let it go!" Midnight said with plain anger. "Ugh!" She added as her power took the fire and made a box around Ash.
"Midnight!" Ash shouted.
"Sorry but I had to do it!" Midnight said as she started to drink some soda. "Stormheart!" Midnight shouted as her pet wolf dashed down the stairs.
"Blacksun!" Ash also shouted as his pet white tiger dashed down the stares. "Blacksun quick, jump over the fire and attack her!" Ash shouted. (Since Ash was near the stairs).
"Stormheart attack Blacksun!" Midnight yelled. The two animals started to battle, soon Ash ran through the fire, the edges of his pant caught fire, he batted them until the fire went out. Soon Midnight grabbed Stormheart and ran off.
"Midnight wait!" Shadow shouted after Midnight when she saw her friend running out the door, "Midnight! Midnight get back her!" Shadow demanded as she chased her.
"Go away!" Midnight said as she started to run through a local graveyard, she passed her parents' gravestones as she ran.
"Where are you going? Slow down, please!" Shadow said,
"I'm going anywhere but here! And no, I won't slow down!" Midnight said.
"Wait I forgot that if I go in a graveyard the dead things come alive." Shadow muttered to herself, "Midnight I need to tell you something! Midnight get back here!" Shadow shouted.
"Shadow why aren't you going after her?" Luckie came up behind her.
"Because if I touch a graveyard everything dead comes alive." Shadow explained.
"And did you touch it yet?" Storm asked.
"Yes." Shadow sadly said and hung her head low.
"Midnight get out of there!" Luckie yelled, they where unaware is that Jack and his friends were following them for the second time. Shortly, hands started to rise and tripped Midnight, hands and people "jumped" out and started to shout, "DIE… DIE, YOU SHALL DIE," in a hoarsely voice as more "zombies," as so to speak, came out, a pair of hands gripped her arm. "Let go you creep." Midnight demanded as she kicked the person in the face with her foot. "DIE… DIE, YOU SHALL DIE," the zombies repeated as they started to drag her underground. "Stormheart help!" Midnight shouted, her knee was now underground. Stormheart started biting and scratching at the undead people, but Stormheart wasn't enough to save his owner and soon he started to be dragged underground too.
"Shadow what happens when you touch it again?" Luckie asked,
"She'll die along with everything else in the graveyard." Shadow said, Midnight's slightly curved hips were now underground, Midnight tried to haul herself out, her muscular arms tensed and looked like chains as she struggled to pull herself out. Her hand slipped in the grass, the undead people took advantage of this and grabbed her shoulder and jerked it under, Midnight grunted in pain. She felt something step on her, she looked up to see a shoe on her head, pushing her under, Midnight took a deep breath as her head went underground, and Stormheart's waist was now under. Suddenly Jack and Bob jumped out and started fighting off the zombies. Jack grabbed Midnight's small, barely showing, hands and pulled her half way out before something tackled him. Midnight tried to pull herself out again, when she looked up at the night sky, there was a human figure above her. It open its eyes to reveal one yellow and one red. It open its mouth and bent down to look at her closer, his face was scared and his nose looked broken, his skin was as pale as paper. As Midnight sank deeper, the man grabbed her forearm, his grip was like steal, Midnight noticed that he was missing his ring finger. After he yanked her up a little more, he stopped, staring at her shoulder where a rock had cut her, he saw blood running down onto her neck. He put his mouth close to her neck where some blood had gathered, closed his eyes, stuck his tongue out, and licked the blood off.
Shivers went down her spin, once the shivers left her body, she punched him, his head didn't even move. His eyes shot open and rage filled his face, he quickly glanced at the hand he was holding then to her shoulder then back at her and bit her shoulder. Midnight cried out as pain jolted up her arm, Jack pried the zombie off Midnight and threw him into Bob's arms, and Bob crushed its head. Jack finished pulling her the rest of the way out and carried her, over his shoulder, to safety, and Bob was right behind them carrying Stormheart.
"Jack! And Bob? What are you two doing here?" Midnight asked, ignoring the pain in her arm.
"Me and the gang were walking by and saw that you needed help so I couldn't just let you die." Jack said.
"And what is Bob doing here?" Midnight curiously asked,
"Well I asked him to help me save you." Jack replied,
"Okay then, I've got another question, why did you have the sudden urge to kiss me?" Midnight asked.
"Get away from her!" Ash came shouting.
"Oh no," Midnight said.
Ash grab her unhurt arm, "What do you think your doing?" He asked,
"I just saved her and Stormheart's life and not even a thank you." Jack said.
"Thank you, Jack, and Stormheart thanks you, too." Midnight said, as Stormheart rubbed his head on Jack's leg.
"Shadow get over here!" Ash shouted.
"What?" Shadow asked a frown spreading across her face.
"Get rid of him and the others." Ash demanded.
"Whatever," Shadow said, Shadow then snapped her fingers and a tornado made completely of fire, which sent them flying into the sky. "No!" Midnight shouted.
Faraway in the forest…
"I need to kill Darknight and Shadow and Ash." Jack said aloud. Soon the gang came across a male teenager, "Hey, you, kid, what is your name?" Jack asked,
"The name's Lava, what do you want?" The newly introduced teen asked.
"I need you to do me a favor, okay," Jack said,
"Okay," Lava replied,
"Good, are you familiar with the name Storm?" Jack asked,
"Yeah, in fact the kid and I are rivals ever since we were kids. Oh and I won't do this 'little favor' unless I get to hurt him." Lava explained,
"Cool, okay here's what I need you to do, and yes you can hurt him if you want to." Jack told Lava his "little favor" that he needed him to do.
"So…" Darknight begun, "What are we going to do about the dead people walking around over there?"
Shadow snapped her fingers again and burned the zombies to ashes.
"Better?" Shadow asked.
