Hey everyone I'm here today with the release of my new story, "Beyond The Woods". I wasn't exactly planning on releasing it today but I figure why not release it on my birthday! I'm officially 16 yay! Well hope you like it and tell me what you think. :)
Brick's POV:
I sighed placing my last box of belongings into the loading truck. I don't see why the hell we have to move, I'm about to enter my senior year at a new school with people I don't even know. I live in an loud city called Citiesville. Dumb name right? Well my father he sorta got a new job as the biology teacher at Townsville high, which just adds humiliation to everything since unfortunately I'm going to be attending that school.
" Brick! Hurry up man we gotta go!" I looked over at my brother Butch who had just finished loading our dirt bikes onto the back of dad's truck. " Alright. Hold on." I closed the back making sure its locked before walking other my dad's truck. "Where's Boomer?" Butch looked at me wiping his hands that where covers in oil "Thought he was with you." I ran a hand through my hair rolling my eyes. " Yo Boomer! Where you at?!" for a moment there was no reply but surely then my blonde hair brother came out from the backyard with that same bored expression on his face. He's really quiet, doesn't say much unless its dad, Butch, or I.
"Alright boys lets get going, wouldn't want it to get dark." my dad was pretty chill, we have our arguments but in the end of the day he's a cool guy. Ever since mom left him for another dude he's practically been raising us on his own. I don't talk to mom often, I can't forgive her for leaving us for a richer man although I know eventually ill have to. Butch was the most effected, he had called mom a slut that night and he's had anger issues ever since.
I climbed into the passenger seat laying my head back thinking what Townsville will be like. Hopefully its not to problematic, the last thing my brothers and I need is complete bullshit. We have dealt with enough of that half our lives. You see just before the summer leading to our junior year my brothers and I weren't always the most liked nor popular. We had been victims of harsh teasing and pushing around, we were known as the dork triplets. After so much of it we all just... snapped we began working out, tried out for many sports, and after that long summer we returned as the "hottest" guys in school and let me tell you, seeing the faces of those who ever fucked with us was priceless!
Feeling bored I turned in the radio, moving my head up and down to the beat of the song "If you can't hang" by sleeping with sirens, but was soon bothered as we passed by the sign
"Welcome To Townsville"
Boomer's POV:
I looked out the window as we drove into the city. I hate moving, its a big pain in the ass, I also hate being the new guy, its awkward, "This place sucks." I complained to my dad who still carried a wide smile, weirdo. " Oh com'n on boys, you'll love it." I stared as we began to enter our new neighborhood, and to be honest I am not impressed. The houses were all practically falling about, not an inch of green grass to be seen, talk about creepy. "Dad this place is ... dead" I smirked at Brick's opinion. God dammit, how much longer? I tapped my pencil against my sketch pad tapping a beat that constantly played in my head. As I looked out the window I happened to notice a giant white house sticking out from behind the wood trees. "Whoa, did you see that?!" Brick and Butch both turned to look where I had been looking, but we had already drove by the house. "See what?" Butch asked looking at me oddly. I sighed " There was this house...in the woods."
About five minutes later we had finally arrived at the new house, it wasn't much of an improvement compared to the other houses, but it was descent. "Alright boys start unpacking, then you can choose your rooms." I ran to the loaded truck and began tossing out boxes one after another trying to hurry up since I really didn't want to spend all night with this. "Alright, Brick come help me with the sofa." I looked around to find Brick nowhere around. I hopped off the back of the truck and spotted Brick about to call over a bunch of kids on their bikes. Oh boy, "Hey!" the kids looked our way and made there way over to us. " Yea, what's up?" I walked over along side Brick and crossed my arms, this should be interesting. "What do you know about this town?"
"Nothing much, its all pretty boring. We hardly get any new people here." Brick, nodded about let them leave, but the giant white house came into my mind and before I knew it. "I saw that there was this house inside the woods, anyone live there?'' the kids all looked a little shaken up from the mention of the house, wonder why though its just a house right? "That's the old Utonium house, no one seems to live there since no one was ever seen coming out but they say sometimes you can hear slow sad music coming from the top room, and sometimes the light is even on." my brothers and I looked at each other a little weirdly, they make it sound as if its haunted, strange no? "If I were you, I'd stay away from there." I looked over at the kid's friend and finally let them leave without another word.
"Well ok, we should go finish up before the sun goes down." I nodded agreeing with Brick and continued on unloading, but the curiosity never left my mind.
Butch's POV:
"Butch, breakfast!" I stepped out of my bathroom slipping on my black muscle shirt and heading downstairs. "How'd you boys sleep last night?" My brother's and I looked over at dad who of course carried that greatly known smile of his, of course it was fake but didn't want to push it any farther. "Uh was okay, that old windmill across the street be squeaking all night, had to sleep with my earphones plug in." I mumbled the last part practically to myself. " Its a nice day boys, why don't you take your dirt bikes out and check out the land." is dad foreal? "Are we allowed to?" I asked raising a brow.
"Of course I went out and got the permeates last night, have fun."and just with that said my brother's and I jumped up from our seats and ran to our rooms to change into our gear. I had changed into my black and green bike suit with black gloves, matching helmet and green goggles. Brick and Boomer had changed into something similar but instead of green it was in red and blue.
this is going to be epic.
We quickly grabbed our bikes from the garage, started the engine and kicked off down the large track. We raced around, throwing a couple trick here and there. Loving the feeling we get when you get pumped up from the rush. I sped ahead from my brothers but stopped as I reached the end if the track and the start of the woods.
"Do you think this road leads to that house?" I asked eyeing the road that seemed endless. "Probably, but maybe we shouldn't. I mean remember what those kids said." Booms looked ahead a little uncomfortable like. "Booms is right Butch, I don't think that would be smart, lets just head back."
I sighed giving in, he's right that's probably best. I switch the brake off my bike about to ride off when suddenly...
"Do you hear that?" I asked trying to listen closely. I turned to look at my brothers who were looking almost mind blown. "The music..." we all said in sync
Brick's POV:
Holy shit. Was all I thought as the smoothing lullaby filled my ears. "Butch where are you going?!" I asked stepping in front of Butch who started walking down the entrance road. " I'm going to check the house out. Come on Brick, aren't you curious?" I looked at my brothers green eyes for a moment before sighing. My eyes looked over Butch's shoulder and onto my baby brother who stood leaning against his bike. " You down Booms?" Boomer looked around before nodding slowly "sure why not?"
We hopped in our bikes slowly heading down the dirt road, my heart began to beat faster as we got closer to the source of the music. Eventually we ended up stopping at a clearing that seemed to be in the heart of the woods. There in front of us stood a large white, almost mansion, house. It was very very old ill tell you that, some of the windows were crack the patio seemed like a death trap, the walls were practically scrapping off. This house made our house look like damn.
A/N the music they are hearing will be posted in my bio so if you want to check it out.
We quietly got off our bikes, turn the engine off and walked closer to the house, the music could still be heard. I looked up at the widows where the music seemed to be coming from and narrowed my eyes. "Hey Brick, look at this." my eyes moved from the window, to the porch, where Butch and Boomer now stood. I walked over to them and looked through the window. The house itself seemed a little Victorian. The furniture was old bit seemed well taken care of. Someone must live here then. Just as I leaned closer as I saw a shadow shape figure standing in the hallway, the music suddenly stopped scaring my brothers and I on instant. We quickly ran off the porch and turned our bikes off but as I turned to look back I noticed the curtain from the top window move, they we watching. Snapping back into my senses I kicked off the brake and rode off, following my brothers.
Unknown POV:
My pink eyes watched as he walked up to the house and looked up at the window I was standing by. Having people walk by and throw eggs at the house was usual but never had anyone actually came about five feet from our house. "Hey Brick, check this out." So his name Brick? Brick looked over to what I assume was the front porch. I had sent Buttercup to keep an eye on them,downstairs, hopefully she freaks them put enough. As much I want to deny, I couldn't help but find this Brick guy attractive, but that doesn't matter, he would never look at me that way, impossible. My eyes widen as I suddenly notice Brick and his pals run back to their bikes. My heart stopped as he looked over at me causing me to let go of the curtain on instant. Crap.
The next morning Boomer's POV:
After what happened yesterday my brothers and I agreed not to go back there, I mean that was some real fucked up shit, no doubt. "Boomer hurry up or we are going to be late!" I grabbed my navy blue back pack from my desk chair and ran downstairs to see my brother's already dressed. Brick was wearing his favorite black hoodie that had "Give Shit Paris" in white bold white letters, dark blue jeans,grey high tops, and his favorite red hat was placed casually on backward (a/n Brick has short hair, just like in the character picture) Butch on the other hand wore an army green button up that was unbuttoned completely with a black tank, black jeans, black and white chucks and his hair was styled in his original spike up messy updue. I decided in wearing a black and white baseball T with grey jeans and white and blue Nike high tops.
I grabbed my sketch pad that was set in the kitchen counter real quick before heading after my brothers. We only live 3 blocks away from the school so we decided to walk it. I'm actually pretty nervous, before last year I didn't have a good history with school. I remember how bad I was teased, not just me but my brothers as well. I'm just hoping history doesn't repeat itself.
my jaw dropped as we arrived in front of Townsville High. This school is twice as big as my old school. "Well this is it I guess..." Brick stuffed his hands in his pocket and walked over to crowd of swarming teenagers, Butch and I not far behind.
Line Breaker
Our first three classes were interesting, everyone was really nice, so that's good. I got handed about 5 phone numbers, that I'm really not going to bother to call. I'm not interested in dating, I can't. Not after Bethany Welfare broke my heart by rejecting me in front of the entire student body in 10th grade. My brothers and I walked into the cafeteria, almost on sight every eye were on us. I get that we are new but damn. We walked by each table until we found an empty table by the window. " I have to say this is awkward." Butch stated scratching the back of his head.
" Hi!" I jumped back a little as a group of girls came up to us and took a seat. We didn't respond, we just stared at them with a "okay then look"
"I'm Bethany, student body president AND homecoming queen, and well we heard you're new and we like wondering if you would like to sit with us!" She smiled way to big, sorta freakin me out to be honest. We just continued to stare at her like if she was insane before breaking into hysterical laughter. Her smile dropped and her friends' hung wide open. Brick stood up from his seat sipping his mouth before looking at Bethany, "look I'm sure you're great an all but no thanks, excuse us."
Butch's POV:
After we made it out of the cafeteria, my brother's and I entered the abandoned halls. Yea, okay so my brothers and I stick together, but we like to consider it back up. We swore to always be there for each other. Bros for life, literally. We walked down the hallway in silence, not an uncomfortable silence but a peaceful relaxing one. But unfortunately that silence did not last as we turned into the third quarter halls, the theater rooms. We instantly paused in our steps as a familiar tune filed our ears. "Do you hear it? Its coming from the dance room. We rushed over to the door where the music seemed to be coming from. We peeked through the large class window. Inside we managed to make out three female figures. We couldn't make out their faces since the only light came from the window above them, but we could see every move they made. They appeared to be dancing slowly to the music, ballet like. But they way they moved to the music was better then any ballet dancing I've ever seen. They balanced gently on their toes and raised their arms above their heads. Brick twisted the door handle catching their attention. Before we could get to them they ran off grabbing their bags and running out the back exit.
"Do you think they live in that house?" Boomer asked looking around
" I don't know but if they go to this school, we'll find out." Brick answered seriously
With that said my brothers and I made our way out unaware that a certain music box was left behind.
Sorry posted the wrong copy the first time.
