Halloween, the sun has set and the forest on either side of the midnight blue nova Lucy drove the trees were whispering with the wind telling each other secrets and then laughing. Logan rolled down his window and stuck his head out. Mason made eye contact with him as he stood there lathered in blood. "Are you hurt?" His voice lacking in empathy. Jo got out slamming the door behind her. "What are you doing?" Lucys eyes widening in fear. "He is clearly in shock!" She sprinted over to mason stopping just before she got to him. reaching out a hand to him she rested her palm atop his shoulder. He took in a deep breath and began blinking rapidly, a shudder gliding down his spine. Their eyes met and he pulled her into an intense hug. She complied simply because she knew what it felt like to need that.
By now Logan had made his way over to them. Mason slipped away from her and with a broken voice he choked out: "Its totaled." He looked into the trees. They could now see a gaping whole and rough intrusion. The car was down a steep bank flipped. "How the hell did you survive that?" Logan looked at him in terror. "Im in a lot of pain..." His voice proving such. A loud sound erupted across the sky. Small droplets of water began cascading down and the strumming of an electric guitar at its greatest filled their ears. The blood on masons face began to trickle down. With building intensity Jo tugged at his wet shirt. "Lets go." She cried. Logan helped Mason in the car. "My house isnt far." He assured. "Ill get you cleaned up." They captured each other through the windows of their souls in that moment. He closed the door and rushed to get in the front seat.
By the time they had arrived at Logan's house the temperature dropped drastically below thirty. It was continuing to descend and the hedges around the yard seemed to freeze over. Over in the garden, Camille with long curly black hair that bounced with every movement, completely bewildered by the frost lining the yellow and red leaves she held so gently in her hand. Her long flowy white and blue dress dropping down into the grass. As she stood the frost grew to be a silver lining. With just a few short strides she made her way over. Logan was assisting Mason and Jo had walked over to greet Logan's mother who stood in the doorway to inform her of what happened. With a dropped jaw she reentered the house to call the police and let them know where the car was at.
Lucy and Camille guided Logan to the door and they worked their way in the house. Mason slumped over onto the couch and Logan fell backwards looking up. His eyes widened. "Mom!" He cried. She did not answer. Shaking vehemently he rose to his feet rotating in a full circle. "This... isn't my home." With a heavy gasp Mason woke up panting and drenched in sweat. He was staring at something that wasn't there and the whites of his eyes were black. Lucy, using the tips of her fingers separated the blinds to see they were not where they once were at all and snow blanketed the ground like it had always been there. The four of them allowed there spheres to drift onto the miserable beaten boy resting there in silence. He had been here before... He was just used to this happening when he was alone. "Im sorry... i hoped i had time..."
Driving with the wiz of air past them being the only sound Kendall looked over at his baby sister sitting between him and James. The two of them took care of Katie. It wasn't until they lost their father did they learn that they shared him. James mother was a business woman who made bad decisions that did a little more than harm her only child. They tainted his soul. He absolutely adored Kendall. The hazel eyed blonde in the passenger seat staring out at the vast darkness made him fluster. He envied the quiet boy and his calm, mellow demeanor. James was quick to panic and Kendall was quick with his talent of putting out the fire. However when Kendall had his moments.. the shaggy headed baby blue eyed teenage dream had no clue how to help his brother.
They pulled into Logans driveway a little confused for they didn't see anyone. "They should be here by now..." The fountain in the yard was cut off and a loud engine whirred by back on the main road. The three of them got out. When at last Kendall shut his door behind Katie, the vehicle dissipated and in its place a white ground. He looked up at James who met his gaze. The sea of white engulfed them. a wide grin flashed across Katie's face. The whimsical thirteen year old was obsessed with the information they never wanted to teach her. She was a genius hacker who knew more about the government the select government officials. She knelt down placing a palm in the thick blinding matter. She pulled away a pink wet hand and turned to her brothers. "You didn't happen to get a new student today?" They simply looked at each other. "He isn't human..." She shrugged. Standing she put one foot in front of the other trudging through the cold to get to the door. "Better hurry... creatures like this are limited on time." Her voice cutting through the air like a shard of ice through a wall of glass. Her green eyes peering out from beneath her long brunette locks.
Jo stood in the doorway allowing them inside. Katie unzipped her jacket and hung it up on a rack hiding in the shadow of a corner. The house was trapped in a time long ago. Every floor made of marble, stainless glass in every frame woodwork perfectly sculpted upon each wall. The girl entered the living area her eye latching onto the various antiques. She grinned when she saw him but her grin quickly faded. Tears of blood streaming down his face as he sat there... waiting... patiently waiting. "Mason right" Lucy asked standing in the open frame leading into the kitchen. Nodding he slowly looked up at her. "Luminous." He spoke the word like it pained him to say it. an emittence of color from his lips that kind of faded into the air around him.
A flame began coursing around the building just beyond the hedges. It hovered above the snow but never touched it. Lucy shuttered. Gasping she slid down the wood of the frame. The indie rock music flowed into her ears and she made a small sound much like that of a whimper. She hasnt heard this song since the last time she made love to someone who is no longer with us today. a small cry escaping her lips as her eyes eclipsed into a bright yellow. she peered into the distance seeing a world no one else could see.
