4:00 PM had come around and school was now letting out. Fuscella walked alongside her sister through campus, neither Fuscella or Takara said a word. Then, a short brunette boy limps up to them, his backpack slung over his shoulder and he had a smile on his face.
"Hey, girls!" He chirps.
This boy was Aidan Keller. One of the nerds in their math class. Fuscella glances at his leg and instantly feels his pain causing her to wince, due to her empathic power from her Mother. This meant Fuscella could feel other people's pain by feeling the spot where pain was present, from watching the injury happen, or just having knowledge of one's pain. One day she could possibly take the pain from people and carry it upon herself then shake it off, just like her Mother could.
Takara glanced at the boy and remembered what happened to him in gym class. Their gym teacher, Jack the Clown, had been making them do laps. Aidan had fallen and twisted his leg due to being tripped by one of the new kids, Gary, she recalled his name to be. Another companion of hers, Micah, had also watched what happened at the time.
"Hello, Aidan." The two siblings respond simultaneously in monotone.
"So, where are you two going?" He asks.
Fuscella answers with "Junkyard" Whilst Takara answers with "Cornfield". Aidan nods and stays quiet for a moment, just hopping alongside them.
"Can I hang with one of you guys?" He asks.
"Would the others in the cornfield trust you?" Takara asks glancing at him.
Aidan thinks for a moment. "......No."
"So no." Takara replies.
Fuscella looks at the boy with a raised eyebrow. "What about Cole and Santi? Don't you normally stay around them?" Fuscella asks.
There were two 'Santi's on campus. One was the ghost boy, the other was a tall photosensitive boy in the higher classes, because of his canine teeth being longer than normal he was dubbed a "vampire". This taller boy was whom Fuscella had referred to.
Aidan sighs in response and looks down slightly. Fuscella couldn't help but make a small smile while Takara ignored him.
"Look... You can visit later, okay?" She says softly.
Aidan gives Fuscella a tight friendly hug before trying to limp off.
"Bye!" He calls. Fuscella then falls down due to the pain in her leg after coming in contact with Aidan; Takara chuckles to herself and shakes her head as she keeps walking.
THE JUNKYARD
Fuscella had walked about half a mile away from the school where an abandoned Junkyard lie. The girl treaded the dirt path in the junkyard, she was also looking for something or someone.
"Fuscella. Over here." A voice says. She looks in the direction of the voice to see The ghost boy from earlier and three other males lazing about around a few broken cars. Her friends. 'Amigos' actually. This small group consisted of Herself, Santi, and the three boys named Jaime, Owl and Gálvez. Fuscella sat down in an old car seat that had been ripped out of the car, then she began to think silently for a moment.
"Did any of you guys get two new girls in any of your classes?" She asks.
"I saw two, one's name was Charlene and the other I think is named Anne." Jaime answers. The girl looks up at the raven haired boy.
"Anne. There's another one with her. Lore." Fuscella says. The boys watch her facial expressions.
"I don't have a good feeling on those girls. Not one bit. I know my sister senses something up with them as well." Fuscella says with a serious look to her.
"Oh, what's the worst they can do? Bully us? Start trends that'll take over the entire school?" Jaime asks with a roll of his eyes.
"No. I have a feeling this will get worse. I don't know what'll happen, it just doesn't feel good at all." The girl responds.
"Well, have you seen them do anything?" Santi asks looking in Fuscella's direction.
"No." She answers.
"I saw them flirting with Donald." Gálvez says quickly. The group looks at him.
"Donald Lawson?" Fuscella asks quickly.
"Sí." Gálvez responds.
A heavy feeling hit Fuscella, she glares and looks downwards now back in thought. Donald Lawson was one of Damien's stepbrothers, yet Donald wasn't as strong of an Anti-Christ as Damien. As a matter of fact, Damien had quite a few stepsiblings all together: Donald Lawson, Dennis, David Sandborn, Alessa Gillespie, Andrew Woodhouse and so on.
THE CORNFIELD
Takara parts the cornstalks as she walks through the cornfield behind the school. She can hear preaching from a boy nearby. Soon she peeks her head out from the rows to see a boy walking amongst a large group of children and preaching. He was preaching about someone or something that went by the name of 'He Who Walks Behind The Rows'. The raven haired girl waits until the boy finishes his sermon.
"...Isaac." Takara hisses to him.
The boy spins around to see her.
"Ah, Lilith. Did you hear my sermon?" He asks, referring to the Biblical name they had given her. The girl nods.
"Yeah, He Who Walks Behind the Rows would be very pleased." Takara says with a small chuckle. A tall male with longish-red hair walks over behind Isaac and glares at Takara expectantly.
Takara notices him and reaches into her pocket.
"Malachai." She says with a nod whilst handing the teen a bag of cookies.
Malachai snatches the bag from her and walks away.
"So, what brings you here to our part of the field?" Isaac asks now starting to walk forward. Before Takara can answer he interrupts her.
"Come. Walk with me."
The girl runs up to his side then slows down to walking.
"Isaac. I wish to give warning to you and the other children here in the cornfields. There's two new kids in the school, I don't know if you've met them or not, but they're two girls. Their aura feels foul." Takara tells him.
Isaac keeps his eye on Takara. The two begin to ascend up a small hill.
"They worry you a lot, don't they? They have not even been here but a day." Isaac states.
Takara nods in response.
Isaac looks to his left and Takara does the same; A sea of cornstalks stand tall above the land for miles. A little farther to the right stood an old abandoned building in the cornfield, much farther to the left was another abandoned building, far back in the middle of the fields stood a silo. The boy sighs after a moment of thought.
"I will consider warning the others about this. Until then, you rest your mind and do not worry about what they may bring." Isaac advises.
Takara stays silent, just listening to the boy preacher. Again she simply nods and heads back down the hill and into the rows of corn, now heading back for the school.
