Authors note: This story is officially going ahead! Woohoo! I'm not doing this alone and I've got some help, some super-awesome help. Stella-Di-Yuki, she has an awesome story, go read it, definitely go read it! You're missing out people. This story will be slowly updated, from weekly usually or spanning every few weeks, so chapters might be short as well. I've rambled on long enough, enjoy this chapter!
Kinda of a short chappy but I things will pick up next chapter!
The calm before the storm
The sound of the police was startling against the howling wind, sirens echoing out within the small alley-way. Aiden felt all too reminded of past events and experiences. The noise was chilling, while remembering the times where he had been questioned. Aiden always found it hard to keep his composure or keep himself from blurting out the wrong thing. He didn't need that on his back with the list of his problems he had.
With a quick step, Aiden sprinted into the apartment complex, rushing passed the glass doors and disappearing out of sight while leaving behind the bloody mess and the sirens that were catching up fast. He gulped down a bit of air, his lungs gasping for any particle they could seize and felt calmer, safer behind sturdy walls, protecting him from the terror he knew awaited outside.
Aiden ascended the spiral of stairs, making his way up to the last floor. The apartment wasn't glamorous or five star and it barely qualified to fit the description of liveable. The walls were marked with splotches of dirt that clung to the slowly peeling coat of paint that was applied a few weeks prior. Living here had been rough, rougher than Aiden would have liked but life goes on.
Aiden smiled, slowly coming near the door imprinted with the number of '67', that having been also worn out, chipped and eroded, like the rest of the damn place. "Jodie, don't make any sound and just be quiet, alright?" Aiden commanded quietly. He assumed silence was a yes.
Aiden slowly pushed open the door and he felt the warmth almost instantly from the fire, warming up the cold apartment. He slowly closed the door, clicking it back onto the latch quietly and walked into the living room. Four doors led to other rooms, including the basic rooms and two bedrooms, it was a moderately big place, adequate for two people.
Aiden slung himself down onto the couch, spreading his body over the comfortable surface, allowing himself to relax for a few minutes, savouring the peace, savouring the calm before the storm. "Aiden?" Aiden nearly groaned at the intruding voice, pushing himself up from the couch, pushing himself into a seating position. "We need to talk." Aiden sighed to himself, glancing at the shadowy figure emerging from one of the rooms, he assumed that it was the kitchen and he didn't need want to talk, shaking his head in refusal.
"Something has happened hasn't it?" Oh he didn't know the extent of it Aiden thought inwardly.
