Yin: I am really not liking Azazel. Or what he's gonna get Lucas into...but that's for another chapter. Not this one lol. Let you guys chew on that for a little bit.
"Lucas?" Kimmy whispered as she climbed up the stairs to his room.
"Vhat?" He snapped. "Oh, sorry. It's you."
She just nodded, biting her bottom lip. "Lucas..."
"Ja?"
Her chocolate brown eyes were big, almost like she was scared. She gulped, refusing to meet Lucas' gaze. "Uh...well...like..."
"Yes?"
"Just...never mind. It wasn't important," Kimmy started to back down.
"Kimmy, are you shaking?" Lucas went to approach her, but she flinched. "Vhat did I do?"
"It's just...like...you're not yourself."
"Not myself?"
As Kimmy gazed up, Lucas saw the fear in her eyes. "Your mother is down there crying because she wants to where where her baby boy has gone. Your father is angry, but not at you. He wants to know where he went wrong. I...I want to know where my best friend went."
Lucas towered over Kimmy, but there was a gentleness on his face. "I'll try. I'll try to be ze good little boy again," He laughed weakly.
"Why don't you talk to your dad?"
"I vill...soon..." Lucas looked up at the ceiling, his thoughts turning to his grandfather.
Kimmy nodded. "Okay. I trust you," Phasing down, Kimmy sighed. Lucas could see the sorrow that etched her face.
Lucas got up the next morning, forcing a smile on his face. He used his manners, was polite for his dad, and helped his sisters with the dishes. He asked if he could go out for some air, and when Kurt said yes, Lucas took off, teleporting to his and Azazel's meeting place.
"Sorry I'm late."
"No, it's fine," Azazel beamed. "I'm just glad you could come," He pulled something out of his pocket, presenting it as a gift to Lucas. "For all those years I missed."
Lucas grinned. "Vhat is it?"
"Open it," Azazel said with a smirk.
Very carefully, Lucas tore the paper. "A pocket vatch? Dad has one!"
Azazel laughed. "You father does not have this kind of pocket watch. It's something I've had a...friend work on for a while. I call it...The Inducer."
"Vhat does it do?"
"Push the chain connection in and twist, then pull out."
Lucas did so cautiously. At first it appeared that nothing happened, but then his fur shimmered, turning white. His three fingers grew lines between them, and his bare feet looked normal. "I'm...normal?" His eyes were wide.
"No! You're still you, which you should be proud of! But if you want to go into town with me...well we don't want to scare those poor souls again, now do we?"
Lucas smiled. "Nein, I guess ve don't. But...zis is awesome! Und it's mine?"
"Yes. I hope you enjoy it. Just be careful not to break it."
"I von't!"
"I don't think Lucas is staying in here," Kurt stated simply to his wife.
"You didn't stay where it was safe either," She sighed.
"True, but-"
"But what? He's just like you, and we all know it. A little more hotheaded I suppose, but my brother was like that..." Amanda barely whispered out the last words.
Kurt wrapped his arm around Amanda. "Zey'd be proud of you. You've done so much, and you grew up fast."
"I had to..."
Lucas walked beside Azazel on the boardwalk. His heart was thumping so fast, he thought all could hear it.
"Relax," Azazel murmured. "They are like everyone else."
A man took his hat off to Azazel. Lucas recognized him as Mr. Pryde. "Jason, it is good to see you again."
"Carmen," Azazel shook hands with the man. "I do not believe you have had the acquaintance of meeting my grandson, Lucas."
Lucas hesitated, but shook hands with Carmen. He was thankful he was wearing gloves now, courtesy of his grandfather.
"I didn't know you had a grandson!" Carmen laughed.
"Yes, well, he has two sisters as well. I figured I'd take him out today, and get him away from the women, eh?"
Carmen nodded, looking at Lucas closely. "Maybe I have seen him before. He does look familiar."
"Maybe you have," Azazel shrugged. "Well, it was good to see you Carmen."
"It was good to see you too," He nodded, and the men went their separate ways.
"Your name is Jason?"
"No, not at all. I just use that as the name 'Azazel' sounds...demonic."
Lucas nodded, understanding the need to hide.
"Now how about we go and get something to eat?"
Lucas turned his holowatch off before teleporting home. He'd been gone for a long time, and he knew everyone would be wondering where he was. He wasn't going to tell them though, they didn't need to know.
Kurt sighed. Lucas had just popped in with no explanation, no clue where he had been for the past four hours.
Amanda on the other hand, was smiling.
"Vhat has you all cheery?" Kurt asked.
"Well, what were you doing at that age, when you were sneaking out?"
"Terrorizing people for ze fun of it?"
Amanda gave him that 'look'. "Besides that."
"Meeting...you...?"
"Exactly!"
"I'm confused."
Amanda rolled her eyes. "You were out meeting a human girl, yes?"
"Ja..." Kurt slowly nodded his head.
"And your son is exactly like you, yes?"
Kurt again just nodded his head.
"What if he's meeting a human girl?"
Kurt's mouth gaped open. "Ja...ja. Zat vould explain all of it. I mean, I vasn't telling my muzzer anyzing...und I vas a little angry at her too."
Raven was standing in the doorway. "A little?" She asked sarcastically.
"Okay, a lot," Kurt answered sheepishly.
"So if he's meeting a girl, she's has to be special. We just need to give him his space."
Kurt pondered this. "Yes...yes. Give him his space..."
Yin: Poor Kurt and Amanda! They're really confused...and does anyone know why I chose the name 'Jason'? The winner gets a free online cookie!
