Thank you Sam! I hope everyone checks out your stories! ;D
" Dusk, I could carry him if you're getting tired. "
Graham offered, honestly surprised when the vampire shook his head.
" I'm fine. He's not heavy anyway. "
The creature in Dusk's arms, Thatch, blushed violently and turned to look at Jimmy. The human child in question was smiling at him, thinking he hadn't been looking, before gasping and looking ahead. To be honest, Jimmy still couldn't believe Thatch had saved him. He knew Thatch wasn't actually a bad guy, he just hadn't expected him to risk his life for him.
The small group had been rushing after Richard for a while now, wishing they could find him. Something was horribly wrong- they knew that. Richard would never hurt Jimmy, let alone THATCH. Those two were best friends, and Richard had never physically harmed him intentionally. There was clearly something VERY wrong with him. But no one could figure out what it was. Was it just something about his psychic powers?
Turning, Jimmy looked at Thatch again, finding the young creature grabbing at his leg, wincing greatly at the pain. Jimmy found that he had to look away, feeling guilty about the boulder again. While he was deeply grateful for Thatch saving him, he wished it hadn't cost the creature his leg. He hoped it wasn't serious at the least.
Suddenly he heard one of the vampires sniffing around to find it was Dusk. His nose crinkled greatly, obviously smelling something the humans couldn't.
" He's close. "
The prince murmured, his eyes narrowing greatly.
" I think he's bleeding. The smell of blood is unusually strong. "
Almost instantly the group began to run, looking desperately for the psychic child. Jimmy was just praying Dusk was wrong about Richard bleeding. If he was hurt in anyway, it could be serious.
What had been going on with Richard anyway? This was something he had never seen the psychic do before... how was he doing it? How did he can the ability to turn his thoughts into reality?
Slowly the group came to a halt, amazed at what they found. A castle, glowing a neon green like crystals, stood tall and strong. How they hadn't noticed it sooner was BEYOND them though. The group cautiously entered the building, even more taken back by the foyer. It reminded Jimmy a lot of the ice castle from Frozen. The lobby, anyway. Is this, maybe, what Richard had been thinking of?
That's when Jimmy remembered he'd recently watched Frozen with the other. Before all this happened. Perhaps the movie was still stuck in the front of his brain. Maybe he thought of this, and created it by mistake. Although, mistake or not, this was incredibly accurate. Besides it being green.
By the sound of things, everyone was impressed as well.
" H-how did you...? "
Looking up towards the stairs, and towards the source of the sound, they found Richard himself, slowly walking down them. His eyes were pure green, and the green glow surrounded him as well. However, there was blood running from his nose. The sign he was using to much psychic energy.
" How'd you get here? "
Thatch squirmed, taking a stand on his good leg, using Dusk for support. He looked up at his human friend, smiling softly before it turned into a gentle frown.
" That's not important right now. "
The vampire hurried, shaking his head lightly.
" We really want you to come home Richard. "
" I'm sorry about how I reacted Richard! "
Graham suddenly intervened, stepping forward and hoping it would get through to the boy. After all, he meant every word of it.
" I didn't mean any of it! I was just... surprised is all. "
He began to quiet down a little, looking at the ground.
" This power you have here is a wonderful gift. It's amazing, and I would be HONORED if you come home. "
Richard looked surprised really, before his eyes began to glow more profoundly.
" I-I can't turn it off... "
He whimpered, his powers utterly flaring out and throwing the chandelier onto the floor.
" Eeek! "
Jimmy yelped, jumping out of the way, accidentally knocking Thatch to the floor, falling with him. Even worse, he fell on his leg. He heard the creature hiss, surprisingly not crying out.
" S-s-stuff like that normally works! "
Graham yelped, bending down along with Dusk and checking on the children. Richard suddenly POUNCED down from the stairs, landing on his feet perfectly before straightening up a bit, random chunks of brick forming beside him. He prepared to throw them, and everyone froze in anticipation for it.
However, this throw never came. Instead, the psychic yelped, and everyone HAD to open their eyes. Behind Richard, holding each side of his head, was a young girl. Or more specifically, a young ANGEL girl. She appeared to be about the other children's age. She had short blond hair with wavy bangs, short, beautiful white wings, light black tights, a short white dress with a golden cress necklace, long, light grey boots with a golden heart bracelet near each top of the boot and light grey gloves with a golden pearl bracelet, and beautiful sapphire eyes.
She was gently moving the tips of her fingers along the boys temples in a circular motion, her eyes gentle and kind. Richard's own eyes became heavy, the green disappearing and his natural glimmering orange eyes returning. Slowly the human's eyes closed, and he slowly fell back into the girls arms. The girl smiled softly, a small light flowing from her wings. Soon the green light in the castle faded, and they were once again out in the forest.
The boys eyed the girl as she picked Richard up effortlessly, walking closer to the men. Looking down at Thatch, she smirked and lowered her wing gently to his leg, a small light emanating from it. Shortly after, Thatch felt great pain relief, and he soon rose to his feet.
" Sh-she healed my leg... "
He muttered, smiling warmly at the angel girl.
" Thank you. "
The girl nodded, walking passed the men and tilting her head for them to follow. Confused, they simply followed her wordlessly.
Sorry, I need to end it here for now. Goodnight everyone!
