Chapter 1
Ray, Lita, Mina, and Amy were walking along the park. They were heading for the mall when a strange kid bumped into Mina.
"Oh! I'm sorry," Minaa apologized. She extended out her right hand to help the kid. But instead of taking the offered help, the kid slapped it away and shouted, "I don't need your help, you freaky bastard!"
"Why you..." Lita said, ready to defend her friend, "Didn't your mother ever teach you respect?"
The kid was about to retort when a man's voice interrupted him. "That's enough Justin."
Lita looked up to see a man approaching them. She winced as she took in the man's appearance. The man's eyes were as red as his hair and his skin was as white as snow. He was wearing a dark blue tank top and black pants.
"It's nice to see you again, Ray," the man said.
Ray stared at the guy, wondering how he knew her name. After a few minutes, her eyes widened, the guy was her childhood friend.
"Sean?" Ray asked slowly, not believing that she was once again meeting her friend. When Sean was just 7, he and his parents had moved to England as requested by his grandparents.
Sean grinned and shrugged. "So? These your friends?"
"Oh!" Ray giggled, "Silly me. Yes, um... these are..."
After the introduction, Sean said, "So you all doing good, then?"
"Yeah," The girls chorused.
"Hmmmm.... that's too bad then," Sean said.
Taken aback, the girls simultaneously asked, "And just what do you mean by that?"
"Sean!" Ray gasped, "Apologize this instant!"
Ignoring Ray, Sean smirked and answered, "What I meant is that that it's too bad because from now on, you all will be living on a living hell. It would do you good to remember that, too."
Sean turned around and picked up Justin, "Come on, kid. It's not our place to judge these girls, anyway."
Justin nodded, then asked, "Hey Sean, can I do something first before we leave?"
Sean just smiled at the small boy and said, "Sure."
Justin turned to the four girls and blew a raspberry at them.
"Why I ought to..." Lita growled.
"You ought to leave him alone, Lita," Sean once again interrupted, "You've already caused enough damage."
Justin squealed as Sean put him on his back for a piggy back ride. With that, the two boys left.
***
Ray, Lita, Mina, and Amy just stood there stunned.
What had just happened? What did Sean mean by 'caused enough damage?'
Was Sean just possessed by one of their enemies? Or was that some sort of a sign? A warning?
