Chapter 22 – Lost the plot

"COOL!" Harmony's exclaimed squeal caught their attention, they shot into the bathroom and froze.

"BLOODY HECK!" Ian piped in, gazing around the bathroom, compared to the rest of the house, the bathroom was of five star quality. A huge white marble bath was comfortably settled in the east corner, silvery-blue tiles covered the walls, and while a chrome shower unit and sink were next to it. Even the toilet looked expensive.

"How come the rest of the house couldn't look like this?" Harmony sulked, folding her arms across her chest.

"What happened to 'We-can-do-anything' attitude?" Tala teased lightly.

"It got flushed down that expensive toilet." Harmony replied darkly, smothering a laugh. Tala and Ian burst into laughter, while Spencer and Bryan chuckled.

"You have the most warped sense of humour I've ever come across." Tala answered after he had finished laughing.

"The big man broke the mould when he made me." Harmony chirped, before disappearing out of the door, then proceed to open all the door and peer inside. The other two rooms were empty, and very dusty. Harmony slipped inside the first room and sneezed causing a flurry of dust to spray up.

"I CAN'T SEE!" Harmony squealed, between sneezes.

Tala entered and laughed, but soon started coughing because of all the dust. Bryan and Spencer quickly pulled Tala and Harmony from the room and shut the door. The strange thing was they couldn't stop laughing.

Bryan eventually had enough, filled up the bath with cold water, hauled Harmony over his shoulder, and promptly dumped her into the water.

SPLASH!

"YOU BASTARD!"

Then silence. A rather embarrassed looking Bryan shot past them.

"YOU FILTHY PERVERT! I'M SO GONNA KICK YOUR ASS!" Soon followed.

Spencer hid a snigger; Harmony was wearing an all white outfit, and unfortunately white clothing goes see through when wet. In other words, Bryan had a bit more than he bargained for. Tala chuckled, stood outside the door, and passed her a towel.

Harmony came out, drenched to the skin, shivering and very pissed off. The towel had been slung hastily around her, so her shoulders were practically bare, expect for the now, see-through top.

"Bastard." Harmony grumbled, as she padded down stairs, and changed in the living room after blocking the door, and keeping her back to the window.

After a few minutes Harmony reappeared in a grey top and black jeans. She glared at Bryan, and went to sulk in the 'would-be' shop area.

"Cheer up." Tala laughed at her, earning him THE LOOK 1. Harmony mumbled something that sounded like 'fuck off' but it could have been mistaken.

"Why?" Tala answered back, a darkened grin curved at his lips. Rather than try and guess what he was thinking, Harmony averted her gaze to the window. After a moments silence she let her gaze flickered back to where Tala had been standing… he had gone.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Harmony crept into the corridor and sneaked out the front door and into the darkening street.

"Anyone seen Harm?" Ian asked loudly as he trotted in.

"Harm?" Bryan raised an eyebrow.

"Harmony." Ian replied flopping beside Spencer on the new sofa. Tala shook his head and returned back to the book.

"Shouldn't we go and look for her?" Ian asked. He had grown quite close to Harmony, he pretty much thought of her as his sister, and it was natural to worry for a sibling.

"Hn." Came Bryan's reply, Ian scowled until Spencer stood, and put on his coat.

"Thanks Spencer." Ian said as they left the safety of the house.

"Don't worry," Spencer said with a slight grin. "Anyway she shouldn't be out this late anyway." Spencer added, pulling out a flashlight from his pocket and shining it around.

Harmony sighed, as she leapt across another load of rocks.

'Damn emotions.' She snarled to no one in particular. She paused as she caught of the glimmer of a flashlight, she could just about make out two figures walking toward her.

"Spencer and Ian." She mumbled, before leaping around the rocks back to the pavement.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OUT THIS LATE!" Ian bellowed, but rather than the usual reaction of 'none of your fucking business', Harmony remained silent.

"Are we heading back or what?" Harmony cut in.

"Sure." Spencer replied, taking a loose grip on Ian's arm and following Harmony back to the house. Opening the door, Harmony strode into the house and settled on her sleeping bag, her gaze switched to the floor, as her eyes began to de-focus.

"Night." That cut into her thoughts, Harmony had gazed over to them, but they had already settled into their sleeping bags.

"Night…" Harmony whispered back, as she wiggled into her sleeping bag and began to drift into sleep.

1 THE LOOK the meanest, scariest and coldest look that could be mustered.

Liked it? Review it, and if not, tell me why. I like a bit of criticism.
