Chapter Eight

"So," Joey asked sliding up next to Lenore. "What did you get?"

"Excuse me?"

"You know Power. Gift. Skill. Whatever you want to call it. What did you get?"

They where sitting in an empty hallway of an arena, having been assigned to Raw after they'd all met on Wednesday. Lenore had been reading, trying to take her mind off things, but Joey didn't look like he was going to let that happen.

"Tell me what you go first."

"No. I asked you. Riana got water, Kenda got electricity, Matt got ice and Aurora is making the ground move at regular intervals. So tell me, what did you get?"

"What about Amber?" Lenore asked, folding the corner of the page over to mark her place.

"Telekinisis, which in my opinion is by far the best. So, come on." Joey was now acting like an excited child on Christmas Day.

Lenore held her hand out to him, palm up. He looked at it, then ather, then back at the palm again before frowning. He opened his mouth to speak, but was silenced when a fireball suddenly ignited right in front of his eyes.

"Cool." he said.

Lenore smiled and the fire disappeared. "It wasn't so cool whe I set one of my paintings of fire, believe me. I've showed you mine, so show me your's."

To demonstrate, Joey took the book of Lenore's lap and pushed his hand all the way through, the way Lenore imagined ghost's walked through walls. He pulled his hand back out again and tossed the book back, as if it had been nothing special.Lenore decided not to comment, it was still all too real for her liking. Monsters and powers still firmly belonged in re-runs of 'Charmed', not in her life. The next stage of their plan was too convince them that there was something after them. A task Lenore personally thought was going to be impossible. You couldn't just walk up to people and tell them a monster was after them. Thinking about it gave Lenore a headache, she wondered if the other's had made any progress, the other's being Matt, Kenda and Amber who'd been sent to Smackdown. She had images of Matt and Kenda rolling around the halls vowing to kill each other before any sort of monster got the chance to. Joey patted her on the leg and left to get a drink. Lenore opened her book and began reading once more.

The taste of the other one still played on it's lips, yet the pain from one of them still raged through it's body. They where strong. It whipped it's tail and slinked closer, the girl gave off a warm, bright aura, just like the other's. The warmth ran right through her, gathering in her hands. It ran it's tounge along it's lips. How it longed for a taste of one of them. It could wait no longer, it moved closer to Lenore.

Joey was whistling to himself as he made his way back to the hallway. The plastic cup clutched in his arm was already half empty and although he was thirsty, he'd saved some for Lenore. At first, he thought he'd taken a wrong turn somewhere down the winding hallways because he couldn't see her sitting on the floor engrossed in her book. He'd turned to re-trace his steps when he heard a noise from somewhere behind him.

"Lenore." he called. "Lenore, is that you."

He walked down the hallway slowly, stopping when he saw Lenore's book of the floor, the edge's of the pages where crumpled. The case of equipment just to Joey's left suddenly ignited and he rushed behind it. She was lying on her back, her mouth wide open in a silent scream, her eye's shut, bucking wildly, shooting streams of fire up at the ceiling. He didn't know what to do, what he could do. He couldn't see anything. Lenore groped at the air, finding whatever she was looking for and lighting up. It was only visible for a brief second, grey flesh that blackened under Lenore's touch. She twisted away and jumped to her feet.

"We have to find Aurora and Amber." she said with a hand on her throat. "It's here."

"Quick, I know a short cut."

Lenore took Joey's outstreched hand and could only utter a small cry of surprise as he dragged her through the wall.
