A/N: OH MY GOD, I AM SO SORRY EVERYONE! IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE UPDATED! I know you all hate me now. You must, because I've neglected you guys for way too long. School has pretty much taken over, especially since I now have straight A's. WOOHA!...Oh wait, never mind, I have a C in 11th Lit because I got an F on my "Of Mice and Men" Thesis paper. Jeez, I hated that book. Well, No, I loved the book, hated the essay. Anyways, I should just shut up and let you guys read, because that's what all good authors do. Let their readers read.
P.S HAPPY HALLOWEEN HOOKAS! HERE'S SOME OF THE NASTY PEANUT BUTTER CANDY! You know the nasty black and orange wrapped candy that all the mean old lady's give out? Yeah. By the way, who else is going out trick or treating? Hey, I may be 16, but by god I STILL WANT THAT FREE CANDY!
I took one look at his outstretched hand, and mad a very bold, but not well thought out, move.
"No."
"Excuse me?" He sounded cold. I didn't look at him, my central focus stayed on the brick wall across the way.
"I said, No, I'm not helping you." My tone sounded strong, but I felt so weak. Nick let out a heavy sigh.
"I told you what was gonna happen if you didn't help me." He pulled something out of his pocket, and flipped it open. I shifted my head slightly, to look at him.
"I know, but I'd rather die than help a monster like yourself." I could sense that he was getting angry. Suddenly, he viscously grabbed my by the neck and threw me against the wall.
"If that's how you want it bitch, fine." He placed a cold, sharp blade against my neck, "Your welcome." He pressed harder on the blade. Racing through my mind, were thoughts of death. What would happen to me if Nick actually killed me? Would my brain be transferred back to my body? Or would I perish along with my aunt?
Suddenly, out of nowhere, a hand ripped Nick away from me, and pinned him against the wall. The incident shocked and stunned both Nick and I. It woke me from my dazed expression. The switchblade in Nick's hand fell from his grasp. The dark cloaked the man that ultimately saved me from my demise. So I had no idea who he was. But his voice is what revealed him to both of us.
"What the hell is the matter with you, Talbert?" Nix growled.
The thought of Nix saving me blew my mind. For one, how peculiar is it hat he was just randomly walking around at night, when everyone else was preparing for the next morning? He was probably out trying to find more liquor. Nix tightened his grip on Nick, and turned his head sideways.
"Megan, you ok?" I didn't answer immediately. I was still stunned, "Megan?" He said loudly.
"Yeah. I'm...uh, I'm fine...I think." I felt my neck, there was a little scratch there, but not too life threatening. I could feel a little bit of blood coming out.
"You didn't answer me, what the hell is wrong with you, Floyd?" Nix growled again. Nick shook himself, and looked Nix dead in the eye.
"You really wanna know what's wrong with me? Fine." Nick started, and I listened intently, " It all started one New Year's Eve, and I found I was somewhere unfamiliar..."
It hit me like a freaking truck. He was gonna out himself and me. He was gonna tell Nix that we were from 2006.
"Then, this girl yells out of nowhere that were the only two from the year..."
"NO!" I yelled, both their attentions on me, "Oh! I'm bleeding pretty badly over here. OW!" I faked. Nix gave me an odd look, and Nick just looked annoyed.
"Oh, I barely cut you."
"Shut up." Nix ordered.
"Don't you tell me to shut up, you fag." Nick said angrily. Nix looked perplexed.
"I'm a...cigarette?" Nix questioned
"Hey, don't call him a fag, you fag," I yelled.
"Don't call me a fag you fucking bitch." Nick yelled back.
"Don't call her a bitch." Nix ordered.
"Don't tell me what to do, Gaylord."
Amidst the fighting and yelling, a bright white light appeared above out heads. I shut up, and looked up. Nix looked over at me, and looked up too. Nix let go of Nick, and Nick looked up too. Suddenly, a huge gust of wind blew over us. Two forms burst out from the light, and a thick fog settled over the forms. I can't make them out yet, but I'm kind of freaking out. Since for one, I was almost killed. Two, a huge white thing just came out of nowhere. And three, two forms have burst out of said white thing. After today, I think I'm gonna need some new pants.
The fog started to dissipate and part away from the two forms. I was on the brink of having a coronary heart attack. I waited for the forms to walk towards us, but there was nothing. No footsteps at all. We looked up and found that the forms were not walking at all, hell they didn't even have freaking legs. I started screaming, because when you see something floating before you, the first thing that comes to mind is scream.
"Shhs, my little scheinkeit" A deep voice spoke in Yiddish. I stopped, because I knew exactly what he was saying. I grew up being yelled at by my father in Yiddish on a daily basis. But this particular word, dad rarely used. Scheinkeit. It means Beauty. My mother would use this to soothe me when I was crying or if I was sad. "Shhs, klein Scheinkeit" She would whisper in my ear. This one word soothed me enough to stop screaming. The shape that talked appeared and it was a man. A man dressed in a military uniform, with the exception of the legs. I looked at him, swearing up and down that I have seen him before. It was bugging me how much I recognized who this guy was. Finally it hit me. This guy knew me because this guy actually turned out to be, my great uncle Joe.
"Yes, it is true. I am your uncle...well great uncle." Uncle Joe said. I looked at him in shock; none of us had said anything. The two boys next to me were frozen solid.
"Yes, I can read your mind, Megan." Uncle Joe laughed. My mouth dropped. This is absolutely insane. This guy is supposed to be dead, not visiting his younger sister or me randomly in the past. I was about to ask Uncle Joe why he was here, but the second form started to take shape too.
"Joey! Are you finished yet?!" A young girl's voice squawked out. All of our attentions were on this girl, who was taking her shape too. She shaped herself into a 15-year-old Asian girl. With long, sleek black hair, and dark eyes. I couldn't tell if she was short or not, hence the whole no legs thing. The boys were still frozen solid, and I was still pondering why these two were here.
"Adrienne would you please stop calling me that? Especially in front of the mortals." Uncle Joe said sternly.
"Sooory, Joe." Adrienne hissed, "It's just that you take so freaking long. Just because we're dead for all of eternity, doesn't mean that you get all of eternity to interact with the mortals. Gall!"
"Don't take that tone with me young lady. I do have the authority to turn you over to the big man." Uncle Joe warned.
"Uh-oh. What's that beeping I'm hearing? Is that the..? Yes, it's the NARK ALARM." Adrienne over dramatized, even using hand motions. Uncle Joe wagged a finger at her, and she just scoffed. She turned away, rolling her eyes.
"Oh," She said suddenly, more modest, "Oh, hello." Then she started to ogle Nix. Which made me throw up in my mouth. Nix was finally out of frozen mode, and was now in full freaked out mode. No, not because two ghosts were in front of us arguing. No, it was because a 15-year-old ghost was ogling a 25-year-old married man. Nix looked over at me for help. I gave him a sympathetic look, because I honestly didn't know how to help him.
"Anyways, Megan, we have come for several purposes tonight. One of which, includes that young man over there" Uncle Joe pointed to Nick, "Speaking of which, lets just get this over with now." Uncle Joe snapped his fingers and Nick was floating in front of him. Nick started screaming, and carrying on.
"Nick Williams, by the almightily power of God, I have been sent down here to condemn you for your dishonorable crimes. Your mother and father are in Heaven right now, talking to God about what should be done with you. But God has found it in his enormous heart to treat you with the up most respect. Even though you are one of the most disrespectful creatures he has ever created, God still has love in his heart for you. So instead of going to hell, Where you should be going in the first place, you will now be returned to your original body." Uncle Joe laid down a freaking bombshell. Nick started to scream again, but out of joy.
"Don't think that you'll be let off Scott free. Oh hell no, see. God controls everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. The past, the present and the future. So, when you are returned to your original state, the local authorities will be waiting right out side to take you away, to face you imminent doom. You will be locked in prison, put on trial, and will be sentenced to life in prison for double murder. You will spend away the rest of your days in an 8 by 11 foot cell with a serial rapist named Chester. Nicknamed Chester the Molester. Enjoy the rest of your life, Nicholas." Uncle Joe commended. Nick started to protest, but Uncle Joe snapped his fingers. Another flash of light engulfed the alleyway. And just like that, Nick Williams was gone. Forever. Out of my life.
I looked at Uncle Joe astonished. He winked, and took a deep breath. Which I questioned, because he is a ghost after all, or Angel I suppose since he came down here to do God's bitch work. I thought about asking him to snap me back into my original body too. But, He already read my mind.
"Megan, I can't do that. That is not the plan that God has placed out for you. God basically wants you to tough it out." Uncle Joe said. Well, it was worth a shot.
"Uncle Joe?" I asked.
"Yes, Megan?"
"What's gonna happen to Floyd?"
"Well, God replaced Floyd with his original body just seconds ago. And he gave Floyd back all of his original memories. So basically, everything is back to normal for Floyd Talbert."
"Good. Floyd is a good man."
"Yes, Floyd is a good man. But it's so sad sometimes to see such family lines turn that sour." Uncle Joe said sadly. We stood in silence. Until Adrienne spoke up.
"Joey? Are you almost done? Because I want some time alone with Mr. Nix." Adrienne said playfully. Uncle Joe looked horrified. He swooped over and grabbed Adrienne away from Nix.
"Not in a million years, will you and him ever happen. Ever." Uncle Joe said, "The age gap is too astronomical." Adrienne looked outraged.
"Age is just a number. Besides your own Great Niece is dating a guy is who is at least twice her age." Adrienne exclaimed.
"Was dating." I said softly. Nix looked over at me.
"Was?" He questioned.
"Which was foolish Megan, because Nick was planning on killing both of you anyways even if you found him a way out of there or not. He was extremely jealous of you two. Because he could sense that you two had a great bond together that could never be broken. Unless something deadly interfered with it. And he loved to interfere." I was horrified. So I had made a huge mistake. I shouldn't have broken up with Dick at all. How could I have been so stupid?
"You were not being stupid, Megan. You were merely protecting the thing that you loved the most." Uncle Joe commented.
"Uncle Joe, can I never think of anything anymore without you commenting?" I asked harshly.
"Sorry.." Uncle Joe said softly.
"Joey, you are taking way too long with the mortals! Hurry it up all ready!" Adrienne hissed with a hint of hurt in her voice. I think she was still upset that she couldn't get with Nix.
"Oh right." Uncle Joe exclaimed, "The second thing that almighty God has sent us down here for us to do is to take another name off the list. Since we had such trouble with Nicholas, he was removed from the list. Making another person first in line for...transfer." Uncle Joe said cautiously.
"Transfer? You don't mean..?" I started.
"I'm sorry, Megan for putting this burden on you. But I promise this guy won't be as bad as the last one. We now have a new pre-screaming procedure. And this guy passed with flying colors." Uncle Joe commented light-heartedly.
"Joey, are you finished yet?!" Adrienne complained.
"Adrienne, you spoiled little brat, I command you to stop calling me Joey and you will wait patiently while I deal with the 'mortals' which also happens to be my family member, OK?" Uncle Joe growled. Adrienne whimpered, and waited patiently.
"Anyways, I'm sorry Megan, but he's your new project now." Uncle Joe floated down to my level and kissed me on the forehead, "See you on the other side, klein Scheinkeit." And with that, Uncle Joe motioned for Adrienne. She moaned "Finally", after which she received a stern look. And with a snap, they were both gone.
What did her mean by transfer? Did he mean another person was going to be transferred from the future into the past? This is WAY too much stuff to try and comprehend in one day.
All of a sudden, Nix made a horrible gurgling noise. I looked over at him, and he started to cough madly. Then he collapsed on the ground. I ran over to his side, and tried to revive him. But nothing was working. His heart was still beating, but he wasn't breathing, if that makes any sense.
Suddenly, another flash of purple light filled the alleyway. I stood up and cried out "Again?!". After the fog parted away, and Nix was visible again, I knelt down next to him.
"Nix, Nix?" I asked, hitting the sides of his cheeks lightly. I started to shake him, and continued to hit him across the face.
"Nix, come on. Wake up, Nix." I said defiantly. Suddenly, Nix shook awake and looked at me with a crazy expression.
"Oh, Nix, your ok." I sighed, holding my heart. Nix's eyes grew even more bug eyed then ever.
"Nix? What's wrong?" I asked. Nix continued to look at me with the crazed expression. Finally, he spoke up in a shaky voice.
"Who the hell is Nix?"
OH MY GOD, I FINALLY FREAKING UPDATED, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!? AND I MADE NICK GO AWAY AND BE RAPED FOR EVER AND EVER BY A FELLOW INMATE! YAY! LOL
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!
