The Dark Side Of The Moon


(James's P.O.V.)

Theres always that one thing everyones scared of. That one place no one ever goes. That one subject people just dont bring up. You might be wondering what this 'big bad issue' no one wants to deal with? The forest.

But thats the thing, its not just the forest. If it was, our problems would be long gone. A thing of the past. A figment of our imaginations. Its whats in the forest that gets to people.

The unclean. Ghastly creatures that lurk in the shadows. They are the leading rolls of children's nightmares. They kidnap people by the boarders and...well, let's just say that everyone who's been on the other side hasn't come back completely sane.

And if you didn't catch that, I said boarder. A stupid barbed wire fence outlining the forests. Separating the clean and the unclean. Do you think a fence would stop the unclean if they were determined enough?

I never really understood why we couldn't just bomb them. It would end all of this panic and stress. Activist groups protested that the unclean were people too. I didn't know what to believe anymore. I heard that they look identical to humans. Something must be wrong with them if they're kept locked up, right?

A loud banging noise broke me out of my thoughts. I shook my head, making sure they were gone."James! Honey, your father and I are leaving!" My mothers voice rang down the hallway. Today is one of the weird nights where my parents worked the same shift. Both of them worked for the boarder patrol. "Don't wait up!"

I sighed. These sort of nights were long and full of loneliness. I know I could've just invited someone over, but thats the thing. I never was the most popular kid in school. Everyone always thought I was too pretty for my own good. They thought I was weird for caring about what I looked like. Most people avoided me, except for two people. Logan Mitchell and Carlos Garcia. They were my only real friends, but both of them tended to keep to themselves.

Carlos was one crazy kid, always was pulling stunts and everything. He was pretty talented though. Carlos and Logan both were on the high school varsity hockey team. Logan was somewhat of a nerd. He has straight A's and a 5.3 GPA. Ivy league colleges were practically throwing themselves at him, offering him scholarships constantly.

We were all juniors in high school. Carlos and Logan both made it painfully obvious that I had nothing going for me. Carlos with his amazing hockey skills and Logan with his brains. What did I have other then my looks?

I walked downstairs to see that my parents were both already gone. With nothing better to do, I grabbed a plate of lasagna my parents made for me and turned on the tv.

"-arning, this is a county wide warning. There has been a break in the boarder. The boarder patrol is currently handling the situation. Please stay indoors and out of trouble. Thank you," our local news reporter droaned out. I glanced towards the window. My house was literally 50 feet from the boarder. Would I be okay?

My phone felt heavy in my pocket. Should I call me parents? I wondered to myself. I shook my head. They were working right now, they shouldn't be bothered, I reasoned.

With that, I pushed myself off of the couch. Mom and Dad always told me that the first thing to do in a situation like this was to lock all the windows and doors. This was gonna be a long night.


(Kendall's P.O.V.)

My heart hammered in my chest. Sweat dripped down my face as my feet carried me across the forest floor.

The 'unclean' were making a move, and I was the last one standing.

"I think there's one left!" I heard someone shout somewhere behind me. "Should we let the dogs go?" Another one shouted.

My once hammering heart stopped entirely. The dogs. I could never outrun the dogs.

A light shot through the trees. It looked like- windows. They were windows. Relief flooded through me as I sprinted towards them. I would make it. I would survive.


(James's P.O.V.)

The first floor was completely secure. Everything was locked. I glanced up the stairs. Everything up there should be locked...and it was 11:00. Family Guy was on.

"He's our family guy," I sang along with the theme song. Most people didn't know this, but I loved singing. I never did it in public though. I didn't want people to judge me. Guys don't sing.

Glass shattered somewhere upstairs. I shot off of the couch. Please please PLEASE let it be a bird I pleaded to myself.

A crashing noise followed the shattering glass. I quickly looked around for a weapon, settling on a large kitchen knife.

There was another banging noise. I gripped the handle tightly as I made my way up the stairs cautiously. Oh god oh god oh god my thoughts chanted inside my skull.

I stopped in front of my room, holding my breath. After a minute or silence, I started moving to the next one. A groan interrupted my movement.

It came from my room. Someone- something was in my room. I took a few calming breaths before slowly pushing the door open. My breath caught in my throat.

My window was shattered. My dresser was on its side. My comforter was screwed up. Ragged breathing was coming from behind my bed.

I slowly creepered over to my bed, eyes resting on the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

It was a boy. A blonde haired, green eyed boy.

"Are you..." I swallowed my fear and tried again. "Are you...one of them?"

He panted, catching his breath. "D-don't hurt me," his eyes rested on the knife in my hand.

I quickly dropped it, almost instantly regretting my decision when he nodded. "I am,"

My heart stopped. This extremely beautiful...thing...was unclean. Nothing looked wrong with him, except for his red and sweaty face. He looked...normal.

I subconsciously took a step back. He raised his bloody and beat up hand towards me. "Wait," he pleaded, my heart instantly breaking. "Help,"
