Chapter Six:
The five people standing in front of me all looked around wildly for a few moments, while I stood there shocked.
"Well Demetri it looks like you did get us to the right place-" A tall, gruff looking man began to say.
"Of course I did!" A young women, presumably Demetri, screeched. "And don't call me that."
At about that time, Andrew and Derek came bustling out of the room and into the hallway.
"Isaac." Andrew breathed a sigh of relief. "You guys are early."
A man stepped out to shake Andrew's open hand. When he spoke it was soft and calm. "Well, we weren't expecting Dem to get us here on the first try." A small smile formed on his face.
"Well its good to see you all." Andrew turned to face me and Derek. "Oh and let me introduce you to two of the kids. This is Chloe and Derek. Chloe and Derek, this is Isaac.
Isaac smiled and closed the short distance between us. "Nice to meet you… Chloe." He shook my hand.
His eyes met mine for a split second and shivers rolled down my spine. Isaac's eyes pierced into mine, like he could see through me, into my soul. My breath caught in my throat and I stared at him for a few seconds in shock.
Isaac smirked and looked away. "Nice to meet you too, Derek."
They shook hands, and it was obvious Isaac hadn't had the same affect on Derek as me.
Andrew clapped his hands together. "Lets take this into the living room. Derek, Chloe, can you go get Simon and Tori?"
I nodded, and Derek and I set off to go get Simon and Tori.
My mind was reeling. What was with that Isaac? Something about him wasn't right. Didn't anyone else notice that he-
"Chloe?" Derek's voice pulled me out of my reverie.
"Huh?"
"You alright? You look like you've just seen a ghost." He wasn't being sarcastic, he was actually wondering if I had seen a ghost. Being a necromancer and all it wasn't rare to see one.
"No its just… Isaac. I don't have a good feeling about him." I shook my head. "Its stupid… but I don't trust him at all."
"Its not stupid." Derek argued. "I felt the same way. We should look into that-"
"Derek?" Simon cut in. "What's going on? Tori and I heard something like gunshots. Is everything alright?"
"Yeah," Derek grunted. "Our guests just arrived."
"Well what a hell of an entrance they made," Tori huffed. "It about gave Simon a heart attack." She grinned.
Simon shot a glare in Tori's direction, but otherwise ignored her. "I guess we have to meet them then? They're a little early huh?"
"Yeah," Derek replied.
"How did they get here anyway?" Simon questioned.
I was the one who answered him. "One of them must be half-demon with teleportation or something. They appeared out of nowhere."
When we all got into the living room, the guests were making themselves comfortable on the couches and chairs. As we walked in, they all stared like we were animals at the zoo or something.
"Now that everyone's here," Andrew said, "I can introduce you all. Simon, Tori, Chloe, Derek, this is Xavier, Dem, Clyde, Shaun, and Isaac."
They all smiled at us.
"So these are the exper - um, subjects you were talking about, Andrew?" Dem asked.
Experiments. Why would someone working against the Edison group call us experiments? I shot Derek a worried glance.
"Yes." Andrew replied. "Simon is Kit's son. You all remember Kit don't you?"
"Kit! Oh yes!" Dem exclaimed. "Its been so long since we've seen him! Ever since that whole incident… Well you know." She eyed Simon, starry eyed. "You look a lot like him. How is he doing nowadays?"
"That's what we need your help with," Andrew said. "The Edison group captured him."
"Kit? No… I never would of thought… him of all people." Dem blinked.
"Yes well, the kids have quite a story to tell you." Andrew said. "Simon would you mind telling our guests what you guys have been through this-"
"Actually," Isaac cut in. "I'd like to hear Chloe tell us."
I looked over at Isaac. He was wearing a half-smile and watching me intently, awaiting my response. I swallowed.
"Oh… alright then."
Living up to Isaac's request, I told our guests the whole story from the Lyle house until our arrival here. They all listened closely, eyes widening at some parts, and gasping at other parts. I left out the parts about the demi-demon and Derek's partial changes. I only told them what they needed to know, and nothing more. I wasn't telling them anything else until I knew they were trustworthy.
When I was finished, they all stayed silent for a long time.
"We never knew they would do such things to you children. Trying to shoot teenagers? That's a new low, even for them." Xavier growled. "Of course we'll help you out, Andrew. After hearing their story, who wouldn't? Plus we all want to get Kit back. He was a great man."
"Great. Now, we need to do a lot of planning before we do anything. The Edison group sounds like they have more advanced methods than they did when we were there. So we'll have to go prepared."
"Is there headquarters the same place as it was before?" Clyde said.
"By the kid's description, it is the same place. It is quite a long way away from here, so we'll have to leave in a few hours in advance to get there" Andrew mused.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Xavier asked. "Lets get planning."
"Right," Andrew said. "Derek, Simon, Chloe, Tori, you can leave now. You guys can hang around the house while we plan."
The four of us began to leave the room, but I was stopped when Andrew called my name. "Oh, Chloe?"
I turned to face him. "Yeah?"
"I heard you've been having trouble with raising the dead in your sleep. Isaac's a necromancer, and he could probably teach you some things to help you out."
I craned my neck to see Isaac nodding in response, his cold eyes piercing. His white teeth were exposed in his smile. This was going to be fun.
