CHAPTER TWO
"What the hell are you talking about?" cried Ayden. Her eyes had also widened, and she seemed to be about to break into a run. Devi had gotten up jerkily, eyes still huge. She grabbed her things in one hand and Ayden's wrist in another before running out of the restaurant. The young girl just managed to grab her faded purple backpack before having her wrist almost dislocated.
"Come with me, I'll explain in a minute," Devi said hurriedly as she nearly sprinted towards her apartment.
"Do I really have a choice?" thought Ayden. Suddenly she wondered if this Devi-person would do. something to her. "Don't worry Ayden. She won't hurt you. She really did know your brother, and she only wants to go somewhere safe to talk about him," said a deep female voice in Ayden's head. She nodded (as well as she could while running with her arm being pulled by a stranger).
Soon the two reached Devi's apartment. After Devi's locked the seven or so locks on her door, she turned tensely towards Ayden, who was standing uncertainly in the middle of the living room, drenched from head to toe. Her hands were tightly clenched, and she seriously thought about using the two knives she kept strapped to her hips.
"Sit down." Devi said, motioning to the couch.
"No. Tell me what the hell you meant when you said 'I think I know him'." Ayden said coldly, eyes narrowed. Devi sighed, hugging herself tightly as she slid to the floor against the door.
"Fine. About four months ago, I met this guy at this bookstore I worked at. He seemed really nice and we would always talk to each other while I worked. Finally, after three months, I asked him out. We had a really great time, doing the natural date stuff. Dinner, movie, romantic spot. I asked if we could go back to his place and he said yes.
"His place was rather dumpy, but I didn't mind. He seemed really nervous, and asked me why I asked him out. I told him I liked him, and hoped he liked me back. I made a joke, and that seemed to lighten the mood a bit. We were. about to. kiss. when he suddenly jumped up, ran to some sort of bedroom or something, and slammed the door.
"I followed him, but it turned out that door led to several other doors, so it took a few minutes for me to fin him. I finally reached a door where I heard him. screaming at someone. I opened the door, and he's talking to these two styrofoam things. I ask him what he's doing, and he pulls out these huge two knives and says something like 'immortalizing the moment'. He then tries to kill me, I kick his ass, and I run like hell. End of story. You're brother is a Homicidal Maniac with real issues."
Ayden stared blankly at Devi for almost two full minutes. She seemed to be deep in thought, though she seemed rather scared as well. Finally she spoke.
"What's his name?" Devi looked at her silently.
"Johnny C. He had a nickname. Nny." Ayden's eyes widened to nearly twice their normal size and she began to pace wildly. She seemed to be muttering to someone and finally, after several minutes of this, Ayden stopped. Her hands were clasped behind her back and she glared at her backpack, which was on the floor in front of her.
"Are you alright?" Devi asked. Ayden snapped her head over to Devi, eyes narrowed to tiny slits.
"Of course I am. Who wouldn't be after finding out that after nine years their brother is still alive, but is hopelessly insane AND kills people!?" yelled Ayden, voice raising. She sounded a lot like Johnny right there. "But, then again, it might not be him right? Oh, who am I kidding? I remember that name, along with that nickname. He started calling himself that a month before he disappeared. FOOK!" Ayden yelled, leaping cat-like from the floor.
Devi watched silently as Ayden ranted. Finally the teen stopped, panting slightly. Then she glanced at the clock near Devi's cordless and she swore under her breath. It read 10:55p.m. Ayden turned to Devi, who was still sitting in front of the door. "Thank you for telling me that my brother is alive, if not well. Now, I have to get to work before I get fired. Could you tell me where Johnny lives?" she asked, slinging her bag onto one shoulder.
"Where do you work?" was all Devi said.
"That 24/7 a few block from here. I just started." Ayden replied, tapping her booted foot impatiently. Devi smirked.
"Then expect to see him very soon. He has a thing for brainfreezys. Especially Cherry Doom. I'd give you a picture of what he looks like, but I burned them all when I got home from his 'house'. I might stop in sometime tonight, to make sure he doesn't attack you." Devi was actually quite surprised she felt so calm talking to the sister of her ex-boyfriend. Ayden shrugged.
"Do what you want. I've got to go. Damn this rain, it'll make business slower then usual." Ayden muttered before walking towards the door. Devi quickly stood up and away from the door, after unlocking her several locks. "Paranoid, aren't you?" Ayden said deviously as she walked out into the rain, which had decided to pour harder. Lightning flashed, blinding Devi temporarily, and when she looked in the direction where Ayden had gone, there was nothing.

Erg. Yes, I know. Hideously short chapter. I just needed to publish something. I'll try to make chapter three longer. There might also be some Johnny in there! -gasp- Now review and make me a happy Cagon. (cat-dragon thingy)
