David smirked to himself, looking over the edge while his Pack stood around him, unmoving as they watched along with him at the small dot falling down from the bridge, so miniscule that they could barely see it anymore save for their supernatural sight before they took a step back, hearing it hit the ground with a thud.
Obviously triumphant, David turned to look at the others who stood emotionless around him before Poe spoke up. "So what are we gonna do?" he asked, having been wondering ever since the blonde leader had kicked the small stone off of the edge of the railroad tracks.
No one jumped to answer him, everyone in complete silent before Paul cleared his throat dramatically, looking towards the younger boy with a grin. "Well, we're going to fly, of course!" he said, trying to allow the boy to catch his enthusiasm once more. Poe, instead, looked over the edge before back at Paul, obviously worried. "But Edgar and Alan said people can't fly..."
"Well, regular people can't little bro, but you've got super powers and you can fly, just like Superman!" Marko supplied, trying to help out Paul before Poe suddenly gasped, his chocolate eyes widening. "Really?" he asked, turning to look back over the edge before brightening. "What do I do?"
"You just jump over and think really hard about flying, and then you will," Paul said, although in truth he couldn't remember how he had learned to fly. He had just...well...done it.
"Okay! Can I go first?" the little boy asked, obviously thinking that his sister might try and steal away the first chance from him.
"Of course. You can show young Emily how it's done," David said with an air of casualness in his voice, although he was obviously eager for them to take a leap. "Go on, now."
The other three looking cautiously at each other, they watched as Poe smiled before walking to the edge of the tracks and turning back to Emily. "Emily, watch this!" he said excitedly before leaping off the bridge.
"Poe!" Emily exclaimed in a shocked yet low voice, more a whisper as she watched Paul and Marko watch over the edge for Poe. "Should we?" Paul muttered to Marko who nodded vigorously, the two leaping off easilly as they flew down.
There they found, quite amazingly, Poe soaring slightly easilly through the air. Although he wasn't quick and would occasionally lower towards the ground without his own free will, he would be in no harm if he were to hit the ground. Bringing him into his arms so he would go any lower, Paul gave Marko a grin as they both knew he was a natural before flying up with a very chipper Poe.
"Emily!" he exclaimed the moment his head popped above the wooden boards and he could see her standing still in between David and Dwayne. "I flew, Emily, I really did! It's a lot of fun, you've got to try it!" he said as Paul set him on the tracks before he and Marko went to talk to David. "David...he's a natural. Really, down there he was pretty much flying on his own."
"Excellent," David murmured under his breath, plans formulating through his head. He knew now that he had by far made the right choice in bringing the two--or atleast Poe for now--into the Pack.
Looking towards Dwayne, of whom Emily was closest to while she tried to stay in the middle of the track, David grinned before stepping towards her, remembering how he had to be leniant in words with young people. Especially those who were now family.
Kneeling down before her, eyes drifting quickly to the tense Dwayne before he lowered his eyes back to her, he held out her hand which she slowly took. "It's your turn," he said, knowing that with Poe's progress, it would be easier work for them than they had expected. But here they were with another young child who seemed intent in doing what her brother did, but fear in her heart because she didn't believe it possibly that she could do it herself.
Nodding softly, Emily pulled back her hand slowly from his before stepping towards the edge, looking down as her clenched fists tightened at her side. Closing her eyes, she put a foot forward before leaning off slowly.
Hearing her suck in her breath, all four vampires and the young Poe watched her, the latter anxious while the others patient. They knew she would be at the ground shortly if she didn't have any control.
"Dwayne, come with me," David said, knowing that she would be stopped from hitting the ground but if she were to stay down there she could easilly get herself killed.
Not needing to be told twice, both of them jumped off with no pause, wind tearing at their hair as they flew along with gravity to reach the young child of whom was now seen to be in slow motion, inching towards the ground.
Watching over the railing with a jumping Poe at their sides, Paul turned to Marko with a grin before nodding his head towards their comrades in flight. "Care to make a bet."
Marko paused for a moment and looked over the edge to where his friends had almost reached the girl in the small matter of seconds. "Alright," he said, nodding with a small smile. "Ten bucks on blondie."
Paul snuck a quick peek over to see what Marko had seen, but noticing how Dwayne had begun to pick up speed a little, he turned his head back before nodding with a smile. "You're on," he stated, pulling his wallet from his pocket, watching as Marko did the same.
Leaning back from the edge, so as to be surprised with the outcome, both Paul and Marko had decided to play a small round of rock paper scissors with the over excited Poe.
As they watched the heads of their last two members of the Pack rise, they looked on anxiously before a frown pulled up on Paul's face as David produced Emily. "Dammit," he muttered under his breath. "Dwayne, I was fuc--I was counting on you, man," he said, noting the sudden gasp coming from Poe's mouth and a low whisper of "You almost said a bad word."
"What?" Dwayne asked in a soft voice, looking towards Poe while trying to hide down a grin before looking back at Emily who was being set down by David.
Marko grinned as he held out a hand expectantly, watching as Paul shuffled through his wallet.
"I made a bet on you, man. You were supposed to bring her up," he declared, his wild, blonde hair dancing a bit in the wind as he picked through the wallet. Frowning, he pulled up a bill that was encrusted with a dried, red substance that could only be blood. "Hey bro, you got change for a fifty?"
Rolling his eyes as he watched the exchange between the two least mature of their Pack, David ruffled Poe's hair lightly as he passed the young boy before turning back towards the bikes. "Come on, boys. We've got to meet Max at the cave," he stated, swinging a leg over his bike.
Suddenly remembering their prier arrangements, Marko was quick to get to his bike as Dwayne and Paul hurried after him, the two youth trailing behind before they helped them back up behind them.
"Hold on," Dwayne reminded Emily quickly before they rode off, remembering one thing for sure. When Max wanted to talk to them, they could not afford to be late.
