FINALLY! AM I RIGHT?!
Aster was lounging on his couch, letting his mind drift in and out of sleep after he had taken a rather relaxing shower. Sleep was about to fully overcome him when he heard a faint sound from somewhere in his home. Aster's eyes shot open and he turned his resting head to face the rest of the room. He waited a few moments before deciding that it was nothing. He readjusted himself and closed his eyes. Unfortunately, the what had been a faint sound, only seemed to be a bass drum in his ears that kept getting louder and louder. Aster's hands shot to his ears, hoping to block out the sound. His efforts were in vain though as it just made the sound echo within his head. He rolled off the couch and began to crawl towards the lift. The sound became crippling, stopping him from moving. He curled into a ball, closed his eyes and held his head.
What felt like hours afterwards of just laying there, suffering from a sound without a source, he opened his eyes. He gasped as his eyes met the face of something he had only a glimpse of when Jack had been in his home. Aster quickly rolled onto his back and scurried away from the monster that was mere inches from his face.
"Gah! What the fuck!" Aster shouted fearfully at the thing that took a step towards him.
It extended a sickly looking black hand towards Aster, "Take my hand." It said to Aster in a voice that seemed demonically laced with hundreds of others.
"Get the fuck away from me!" Aster yelled at it as he moved back until he met the wall.
The creature took several long steps forward, reaching Aster too quick for any sort of comfort. It placed its inhuman hand upon Aster's shoulder, and it smiled. Aster's vision went black and he felt himself start to float.
-Approximately 5 Years Prior-
"Jack! Come down here we have a surprise for you!" A woman's voice shouted up the stairs.
Aster watched in disbelief as he saw a woman with dark brown hair, standing at the bottom of a staircase. Aster looked around, noticing that the edges of his vision were blurred. Where am I? Aster stood still as he heard quick loud foot steps coming down the stairs. Aster's jaw dropped slightly as he saw a pale, white haired boy come practically running down the stairs. Jack? You look young. Aster took note that his voice wasn't working and when he spoke Jack's name it was in his head.
"Yeah, mom? What's up?" This younger Jack beamed at the woman.
As Jack reached the bottom of the steps she placed a hand on his shoulder and began to lead him through the house as she spoke, "So, you know how your birthday is almost a month away?"
Jack nodded, "Yup! I'm so excited to turn eighteen!"
Aster was suddenly in a kitchen, watching them approach.
"Well, good." she stated as she lead Jack into the kitchen that began to fill up with various kids that looked to be about Jack's age.
"What's the surprise guys!?" Jack said elatedly as he threw his arms into the air.
They all just smiled at Jack as they waited for their mother to tell Jack what they had waiting for him.
Their mother put a hand on Jack's shoulder and smiled as she spoke, "Well, as you know, money's been tight lately," Jack nodded as she spoke, "So, it isn't much," she reached her hand behind herself and another child from out of nowhere handed her a newspaper wrapped, thin, rectangular box, "But, here you go, Snowflake." Jack blushed from the affectionate nickname as he took the box from her.
He set the box on the table and preceded to unwrap it. He finished tearing off all the paper, and lifted the lid of the box off and set it aside. There was an obnoxious amount of tissue paper covering his gift. He tore it off and his face lit up with happiness. He pulled a dark, sky blue hoody from the box and held it up. His smile grew as wide as possible as looked over the gift, it had a twisted frost pattern stitched into the shoulders. He turned around to look at the back side, which the stitched frost pattern ran from the shoulders down to the middle of the back that ended in a point.
Jack clutched to his chest and looked around at everyone, "I love it! Thank all of you, so much!" Jack said with joy.
"Group hug!" one of the kids said as everyone in the kitchen stood and joined the hug.
Aster looked on fondly as the large family hugged. It didn't last long enough for Aster though, as he found himself suddenly standing on a sidewalk. What the hell is going on?! The angry confused expression on his face didn't last a moment as he realized his eyes were staring at a car accident. One that he noticed, was rather gruesome looking. He went to step forward to inspect it and grasped the fact he couldn't move his legs. He heard a car door open. He couldn't see anyone get out, all he heard was grunts and quite sobs. Aster saw the car was full of kids, kids that looked oddly familiar to him.
The small car had appeared to have slammed head on in to a SUV. Aster observed as the driver of the SUV started to open his door and climb out. The driver looked as if he had barely a scratch on him, and he looked enraged. He limped slightly towards the other car. He had a red mark surrounding the better part of his face from the deployed airbag.
Aster heard the grunts get louder, and glanced towards the small car. He gasped as he saw the younger Jack crawling, with blood covering his face, and dripping down his arms. Aster tried hard to move towards the white hair teen before him but, it was to no avail.
The driver of the SUV had reached Jack's crawling form and began to yell at him. The nerve of that fuck! Aster went to yell at the man, until he remembered he couldn't do anything about anything. He was being stilled by some invisible force.
Jack started to put his hands on the bumper of the small car and tried to stand but, he ended up just leaning against it while he was screamed at by a man in a business suit. Jack looked into the back window of the car and tears started to well in his eyes as he was being yelled at by a stranger.
Aster took notice of Jack was wearing, it was the dark, sky blue hoody only, it wasn't that crisp looking blue anymore, it had blood spots splotched all over it. Jack took a weak step towards the man, Jack put his arms on the man's chest and shoved him feebly out of the way. Jack put his hand against the car's windows as he walked meagerly to the front passenger door. The driver of the SUV continued to shout degrading things at Jack as he opened the car door. Jack fell back onto his butt as a body of a boy collapsed onto Jack. Jack looked up at the man with crying, bloodshot eyes. Jack's face became fearful as he stared at the man.
Aster wondered briefly why Jack looked fearful. That is, until he saw why. Standing behind the man was a satanic looking abomination. It looked as if the man was being controlled like a puppet by the way the creature's arms were waving about in a rather joyous fashion. Jack grabbed the boy into his arms and pulled him away from the puppeteer. The other doors of the small car opened hesitantly. Other kids about Jack's climbed out into deserted road, crawling. One of the kids, who looked rather tall from where Aster had to stand, was able to limp his way to the passenger side of the car. The other, chose to crawl to the back tire and lean up against it as he saw the one Aster noticed had blonde hair, walk up to him. They both looked at Jack, then to the yelling man. The blonde haired kid walked over to the man, through the creature, and shoved the man, putting his weight behind it. He fell along with the man, who toppled over right next to Jack.
Jack's eyes stayed fixated on the creature who had lost the control after its puppet had been pushed. It visibly roared, unheard by Aster's ears was more than heard by Jack, as Jack had noticeably flinched from the sound. Aster heard sirens in the distance, as The blood covered Jack looked ready to pass out. Aster stared on with a shocked looked before the sight was ripped away from him as the sirens got louder and louder.
"Jack!" Aster shouted as he sat up abruptly, giving himself a head rush.
Aster looked around his home, finding himself, still laying on the couch. Okay, well…that was one fucked up dream. It felt so real though. I Can't even understand why I would dream about Jack getting in a car accident. I don't want that. Aster looked about his home, hearing sirens in the distance. He shook it off. Guess that's where those siren sounds came from. Aster stood from the couch and walked over to the lift. I think I'll go for a long walk after that crazy dream. He started to go down the lift as he caught a strange black mass standing in his living area.
Okay, So, I apologize for my constant lies about updating! SO! instead I will say! I will update within the next two weeks! That way if appears sooner You'll be twice as excited! At least you better be. NOW! I have a valid excuse as to why this took so long: If you glance onto my profile, you will see the Crazy hours I have to Work sometimes. And between this and last Update, I did exactly that. Also, Halloween was here, and I'm not about to miss free candy, or miss a chance to dress like sexy prostitute...And let me tell you..I look DAMN GOOD in woman's clothes..especially Halloween costumes. Okay, well. I hope you Enjoy this chapter as it was hard to write cause I also had a slight writers block. As i discovered, I write more when I sit in my freezing garage and have coffee and cigarettes. So, yeah, as it is getting colder out, I'm doing less of going into my garage to chill(I have like a living room set up in there. Can still park my car though). Oh! and If any of you have any Questions feel free to ask. Or don't! Either way, I'm gonna eat This bowl of Sugar.
