Kind of an eventless chapter I guess. I do not own Gone or The Rocky Horror Show
There's A Light
Sam and Astrid drove in silence down the dark, winding road to the power plant. Suddenly a kid on a motorcyle drove towards them. For a second Sam was sure that he was going to crash into them, but instead he drove past, narrowly missing them.
"That's the third motorcycle that's driven past us tonight." remarked Astrid uneasiliy. Sam attempted a chuckle, but it came out as more of a squawk.
"They really take their life in their hands when they act like that." he said, although he didn't really know who 'they' were. He came to a sudden stop then, for there was a road closed sign cutting them off.
"That's odd. We must of taken a wrong turn." Sam said, although he didn't really believe it.
"B-but, where did all those cyclists come from?"Astrid stuttered. Sam shrugged. He didn't really want to think about. He put the car in reverse, but it didn't move.
"What's happening?" asked Astrid, her face pale.
"It's just a flat tire, don't worry." Sam reasured her. "I think we passed a castle a few miles back. I'm sure there's someone still living there. I'll go and ask if they have a car we can borrow." he undid his seat belt and started to get out of the car.
"Wait. I'm coming with you." said Astrid climbing out aswell.
"Astrid, what if they're dangerous? There's no sense in you getting hurt when I can go in and protect myself." Sam reasoned.
Astrid shot him a look of icy defiance. "I'm coming with you." she said. Sam nodded reluctantly. It probably was for the best. This way he could keep a better eye on her.
"What if the residant in that castle turns out to be an very attractive female? Then I might never get you back." Astrid teased. Sam laughed. He would never cheat on Astrid. Not for all the attractive females in the world.
The two of them set off down the road. Sam noted that he had an uneasy feeling that he'd been there before, even though he most likely hadn't.
It didn't take them long before they were at the gate of the castle-type-building they had seen. Sam melted the lock on the gate and him and Astrid entered.
Sam still had the odd feeling of deja vu, but his worries were interupted by Astrid's voice.
"In the velvet darkness, of the blackest night, burning bright, there's a guiding star, no matter what or who you are." she glanced up at Sam nervously. He took her hand and began to sing with her.
"There's a light over at the Frankenstein place. There's a light burning in the fire place. There's a light, light, in the darkness of everybody's life."
Inside the awefully familiar castle, an awefully familiar pair of ears heard Sam and Astrid's song, and an awefully familiar voice sung the next verse as he glowered behind the window at the boy who cost him his arm. "The Darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming. Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming into my life, into my life!"
Sam and Astrid approached what seemed to be the front door to the castle, and Sam nervously knocked on it.
Tell me what you thought!
