Story does include Stay Alive characters but lets pretend the Stay Alive movie never happened. Just the characters.
The two twins sat in the office. Both staring at the wall as if nothing was going on around them. Phones rang, papers crowded the desks. People ran around like chickens with their heads cut off. Fax machines went off and computers were being tapped at. All in all it was complete chaos. But the brother and sister seemed to be unfazed by it all.
The boy sits there. His buzzed head and chiseled chest both covered by his black hoodie. His blue eyes flooded with anger and his eyebrows knitted together in concentration. He was still n a state of shock about what had managed to happen in the time span of 3 days. He just went to go and enjoy a game with some…er…well friends. And all of them except for him and his sister were killed. Not only that but he had to fight off two psychos. And now the two of them were being questioned like they were the criminals.
The girl sits there. Her brown reddish hair clung to her face as the sweat beaded on her forehead. Her blue eyes were pooled over with sadness. The white wife beater clung to her body like a second skin but she hardly noticed. She had lost him. Her love. He was killed and she had done nothing to stop it. Of course she didn't know at the time. But she should have. She should've stayed with him. And not three of her other friends were gone as well. The pain from her losses overtook the pain of her lost finger.
"I'm not going back." She whispers. He voice is so low that her brother almost doesn't hear her. But he does and he snaps his head to look at her. His face now adorns a look of confusion. "Home. I'm not going back home." She repeated when she feels her brother's confused eyes on her. However, she never once turns to look at him.
"Damn Carly. Don't do this. You're going home. You have to. Mom and dad are going to wonder. And we have the funerals." His voice comes out sharp and she can hear the hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Nick…I…I just can't. The funerals aren't until two weeks from now. And I just can't go back." Carly says as tears cloud her eyes. She can't go back home. Everything reminds her of him.
"So what Carly? Huh? What now? We have no other place to go and no money to waste on a hotel for two weeks. Let alone any transportation." Nick said as his eyes hardened and he looked at his sister. At first Carly just sits there. Not saying anything. She just stares at the wall. And then she utters out a single word.
"October."
"What?" Nick asks not completely sure of what Carly's talking about.
"October. Remember her. I used to hang out with her until we were five and then she moved away. She took over her grandma's café." Carly said as she finally turned her head and looked at her brother. Her eyes now filled with hope.
"You mean geeky October? The one who had like glasses and one eyebrow? Phin's twin sister?" Nick questioned as his old best friend popped into his head. He remembers Phineus and his sister October.
"Yeah. We can go visit her until the funerals. I'm sure she doesn't mind and you could always go off with Phin. I'm almost positive he still lives with October." Carly says hoping her brother would agree to her plan. She missed October. And although the two of them kept in touch through a series of letters, seeing her face-to-face would be better. Plus October handled death better than anyone else she knew.
"I don't know Carly. I mean do you really wanna go back and see her?" Nick asked not really thrilled with the idea of seeing October again. Yes he and Phin had been close but Nick and October rarely got along with eachother when they were little. Carly nodded her head excitedly. But before Nick could give his final answer the officer strolled into the office once again.
"So now that I have both of your stories and both of you have been checked out. I think its safe to say you two can head home now. But before you go I heavily recommend counseling. It's going to take awhile to recover from this traumatic experience and talking to someone will help you guys out a lot." The officer informed the two while he walked around his desk and threw some papers down. Carly nodded her head slowly in understanding and Nick just sneered at the man. "Great now that that's settled. Do you two know exactly where you're heading?" The officer asked in a kind voice as he looked at Carly. Carly turned to look at her brother pleadingly. Nick looked straight into the officer's eyes.
"New Orleans."
HOUSEOFWAX
Four hours later the two twins found themselves in front of Orleans Café. From where they stood outside it looked like it was pretty empty and no one was in there. They almost mistaked it to be closed but from the sign turned to say open they knew it wasn't closed. Carly was the first to make a move. She gradually moved to the door and opened it. The bell chimed as the twins stepped inside the café and they could now see a girl behind the counter. Her back faced to them.
"I'll be with you in a minute." Her raspy voice called not bothering too turn and see who it was. Nick and Carly moved over to a table and sat quietly. "What can I get you guys to-" the girl froze mid sentence when she stepped out from behind the counter and saw who was sitting at the table. "Carly?!" She asked excitedly as she jumps up and down. Carly looked up at the girl confused before her eyes got wide.
"October?" Carly asked just as excited. The girl nodded head fiercely and opened her arms for a hug.
"Oh my gosh! I can't believe its you! Come give me a hug girlie!" October yelled as she spread her arms wider. Carly quickly stood up from her seat and tan into October's open arms. October hugged her tightly.
"Are you sure this is the same October Bantum I was friend with? Gosh look at you. You've changed." Carly said as she pulled away from the hug and looked over October.
And it was true. The once awkward little girl had grown into her looks. Growing up October was never really considered beautiful. She wore huge coke bottle glasses and had one huge eyebrow that went across her forehead. October would always wear her black hair in two pigtails. Now October was undeniably gorgeous. Her black hair hung around her shoulders and her bangs hung in her face. But you could still see her emerald green eyes. Her once chubby small body had grown almost into a goddess like form. Very toned yet curvy at the same time. Two huge dimples imprinted her face. And she was just a stunning young lady now.
"Yes it is me. When I was like ten I discovered exercise and let's just say I did a complete 360 of myself." October said with a huge smile on her face. Carly let out a small laugh at her friends words and hugged her again. "Oh but no offense you look like as hot mess Carly Jones." October whispered in her ear.
"None taken. I've been through some things lately and yeah I'll tell you about it in a minute." Carly said as she pulled away from the hug and gave October a half smile. October looked at her friend concerned and nodded her head in understanding. "But until then come say hi." Carly said as she started off towards her table where Nick was watching the two of them. October gave her friend a confused look but followed her anyways.
"October Bantum." Nick said with a small smirk overtaking his features. He had to admit October was quite the hottie now. October looked at Nick confused for a minute before a look of realization overtook her facial features.
"No shit. Nick Jones." October said as she walked over to him. She leaned down and gave him a small hug, which he returned. "I would've expected you to be in jail already." October said as she pulled away and looked down at Nick. Nick let out a small laugh at this.
"Oh October always the thinker. But I'm two steps ahead of you I just got out of jail." Nick told her matter of factly as she October sat down across from him and next to Carly. October raised an eyebrow at him.
"For what?" October asked.
"Stealing a car." Nick answered with a small shrug.
"Well looks like my beliefs in you are true." October said with a small smile. At that moment a boy with a beanie type hat came out of the back mumbling to himself about something.
"Dickheads said their coming tomorrow." Phin sang as he passed October. October rolled her eyes and stood up. Before Phin could get far she grabbed into his arm and brought him over to her.
"Don't be rude and say hi." October said as she looked at Phin in a warning type of way.
"To who?" Phin asked giving her a confused look. October nodded her head towards Nick and Carly who were watching the two of them in amusement.
"You remember Carly and Nick. Or Nicky Nick as you liked to call him." October said as she let go of her brother's arm. Phin looked over at the two who were sitting down and examined them for a moment before a huge smile overcame his face.
"You're fucking me. It really is Nick Jones." Phin said as he pushed past his sister and walked toward the table. Carly and October exchanged looks. October rolled her eyes and Carly let out a small laugh.
"Phin Bantum. Man I haven't seen you in years." Nick said as he got up and him and Phin exchanged a manly hug.
"I know. Ain't never heard of a fucking phone." Phin said as they pulled away from their small hug and looked at eachother. Nick let out a chuckle and shrugged his shoulders as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. Phin turned and looked at Carly and his smile turned brighter. "What's up mama?" Phin asked using his usual greeting to women. October rolled her eyes at her brother for the fifth time and pushed his face in the other direction.
"Not interested Phin." October said as she sat back down next to Carly.
"Hey Phin." Carly let out a small smile as she walked over to him and gave him a hug.
"Don't get any ideas Phineus. It's called being nice." October said as she saw Phin let out a wicked smile. Carly pulled away from the hug and looked at October weirdly for a minute before she took her seat up next to her. Phin grabbed a seat and sat with them at the table much to the dismay of his twin sister.
"So not that I'm not glad to see you but what the fuck are you doing here?" Phin asked earning a hit from October. Phin rubbed the back of his head where he got hit and glared at October. "Seriously, who treats their brother like that?" Phin asked October.
"Somebody with an idiot for a brother." October answered simply before she looked back at her friends. "What Phineus is trying to say is what brings you guys here?" October said in a calm voice. Carly and Nick looked at eachother apprehensively for a moment.
"Tell them."
