-Jodie Age 14; Envy Age 15-
Nathan had just pulled up in front of a house that was painted blue; and the road had made a circle. In the back seat of the car, Jodie had her hair cut short and wore a pretty blue dress with shoes to go with it. While Envy had his long green hair tied back in a ponytail with a black headband that had an upside down triangle in the middle of it; he wore a black hoodie with a green silhouette of a dragon with navy blue jeans and a brown belt.
"Well, here we are." Nathan said to the two of them. The two young teenagers looked at the house through the window. Jodies hands were shaking out of nervousness; Envy noticed this and placed his hand over her's to calm her down.
She said to Nathan, "Listen… I'm not sure about this, maybe I shouldn't go."
Nathan turned to her in disbelief, "You've been begging me for weeks he said, "You're not going to back out now."
"Yeah Jodie." Envy said, "This is our chance to actually get to know actual people."
"But you and I don't know anyone there." Jodie said to him.
"Which is why we can get to know them. It's the perfect opportunity!" Envy said with enthusiasm, "Who knows, we might be able to become good friends with one of them."
"But what if they hate the both of us? Not to mention the dress I'm wearing is awful."
"Come on, don't be like that. That dress suits you, really it does."
Jodie had then said to Nathan, "I don't mind if Envy stays here, so let's just go."
"Jodie." Nathan had started to say, "Just take a deep breath, there's no reason to panic. It's just a birthday party. I'm sure everybody will like the two of you."
Jodie looked down at her feet; having doubts about what Nathan & Envy were saying.
Nathan had said to her, "You and William can have fun. And maybe make friends like he said."
Envy had gotten out of the car; He extended his hand over to the young teenage girl. "Are you coming or what?" He asked her with a smile.
Jodie was a bit hesitant at first, but she had soon taken his hand; Envy pulled her out of the car and she shut the door behind her. "Oh!" They heard Nathan say, "And don't forget your birthday present."
He took out what he was talking about out from the glove compartment a rectangular object with yellow wrapping and a bright blue ribbon. Jodie took it from him through the open car window. "It's a book of poetry by Poe." Nathan explained, "It's fifty years old and very rare, I'm sure she'll like it."
Nathan saw that Jodie was still nervous about this. "Don't worry." He reassured her, "It's going to be alright. I'll pick you both up at five. Have fun!"
And with that being said, he drove off; leaving the young teens.
Jodie had still held onto to Envy's hand; she squeezed his hand tighter as she saw Nathan's car disappear in the distance. Envy noticed this and took Jodie's shoulders, making her turn to him. "Hey, it's all going to be alright." Envy said to her, "I know you're nervous, and to be honest, I'm nervous too. It's a whole new experience for the both of us. Trust me when I say, I'm sure everything will turn out alright, and even if it doesn't you still have me and Aiden. Now let me see that pretty little smile you've got."
Jodie looked up to Envy and sure enough she let out a small smile. "There it is!" Envy said lightly pinching her cheeks; she couldn't help but giggle a little bit, "There's the pretty little Jodie I know! Now what do you say we go and have some fun?"
Jodie nodded her head, "Yeah, let's do this." With that they both approached the front door.
Jodie was indeed nervous about this whole new experience. Being with all these strange new faces, not knowing what they are like and what not. However there was just one thing she was glad about. She was glad that Envy was with her. It made her feel a little safer knowing that he was there to endure it with her and she felt a little encouraged. Hell, it made her feel a little bit better about herself.
Envy rang the doorbell and soon enough a woman, most likely the mother of the birthday girl had answered the door.
"Hey you two!" The woman had said to them with a friendly little smile.
Jodie silently waved while Envy greeted her. She called out to her daughter, "Hey Kristen, you coming? I gotta go!"
Envy entered the house, but Jodie stood just outside of the house as if she was a statue. "Come on in Jodie, don't be shy." The woman encouraged leading Jodie inside. Soon enough a teenage girl named Kristen wearing a yellow shirt with a pair of jeans with a ripped design approached them.
"Hey!" She greeted, "Jodie and William right? Come on, we're in the living room. They're just some girls from my high school and the least dorky guys we could find…"
She noticed that Jodie was holding a gift, "Oh, is that a present for me?" She asked taking it from her, "Cool, thanks."
"I'm off darling." The mother said to Kristen, "Look after your friends, and don't do anything stupid, alright?"
"Sure mom." Kristen said, "Whatever you say."
Jodie and Envy followed Kristen into the living, where they were greeted by four more teenagers; most likely the ones Kristen had mentioned earlier. "Hey everyone!" Kristen said getting there attention, "This Jodie and William. They're in Unit 4 with my mom."
"Unit 4?" A teenager named Matt said, "The Paranormal Department?"
"Wooo… Whatcha two do there?" Another teenager named Steven asked, "Bend spoons or speak to dead people, stuff like that?"
"No, nothing like that." Jodie replied.
"Come on, don't you think that sounds a little cliche." Envy asked him.
"Alright it's party time!" Kristen said putting her hands together, "I'll get the beer. Guys do the shutters, girls do the candles and Jodie and William, you guys can take care of the music. Let's get CRAZY!"
Jodie and Envy went over to the stereo and chose the music which was pop, while everyone else got the candles and shutters set up and soon everything within the room was some what dark. Kristen soon came back with a six pack of beer. "Hid it under my bed for a week." She said, "My mom doesn't even go into my room anymore. She's TOTALLY oblivious."
"Kristen, you're a genius!" Steven said taking the beer.
"You guys want one?" Kristen asked Jodie and Envy. They both looked at each other for a second, before saying in unison, "Sure." Kristen passed them two cans of beer and they gladly took the beer from her. They opened the cans, at first unsure if they should drink it or not. They both turned to each other again. Envy shrugged and said to Jodie, "Cheers."
"Cheers." She said back to him.
They both put their cans together and drank; However after they took their first sip they immediately started coughing nearly their can. "Hey, don't choke on it!" Kristen said to them.
"I'll bet it's their first time." The girl named Jen said.
"No, we've had this before." Jodie said after she recovered.
"Sure you did." Steven said sarcastically.
They soon went to do their own thing as the music played. Jodie and Envy slowly put the cans of beers down. "That wasn't really the best idea we had." Envy said to him after he recovered from it.
"Yeah, it really wasn't." Jodie said.
"You wanna go see if we can get water?"
"That's a good idea."
After a while, everything seemed to be going alright considering. Everyone was having a blast in their own, "unique" way. Some were smoking and some were dancing or drinking beer. This kind of thing went on for awhile. Envy had noticed that Jodie was sitting on the couch alone, not socializing with anybody like he was. Concerned, he went over to her.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked her, "You seem to be the opposite of happy."
Jodie got up from her seat and said, "I need to talk to you."
Before Envy could ask, she grabbed his arm and practically pulled him out of the living room. She shut the door behind her the second they were out. "Ow." Envy said the second he let go of his arm, "Has anyone ever told you that you don't know you're own strength?"
"Why are we here?" She asked him, suddenly. Envy had a confused look on his face. "What?" Was the only thing he could ask.
"Why are we here?" She asked again.
"What do you mean exactly?"
"You're thinking about it to? About why we're here?"
"I don't understand what you're-"
"I just need you to tell me okay? Just so I know that I'm not the only one thinking it. So please tell me and don't try to lie to me."
Envy was silent; he let the question sink into his head. He sighed and said, "You know as well as I do, that I would never lie to you about anything. You want to know if I'm thinking the exact same thing, and that answer is yes, yes I am."
"I told you it was a bad idea to come here in the first place." They heard Aiden say to the both of them.
"Yeah Aiden we know." Jodie said, "You told us before we arrived."
Envy placed his hand on her shoulder, "Look, maybe the reason why we decided to come here was because we're both tired of living in a cage. You know down at the D.P.A we're restricted to getting to do the things that we've always wanted. Aren't you tired of it too? As much as I am?"
Jodie nodded her head, "I'm tired of being cooped up in that place."
"I know that things haven't been… exactly what we were expecting, but I'm sure it'll get better." Envy said to her, "If it doesn't we can always call Nathan and have him come pick us up."
Jodie gave out a small smile, "I can agree with that."
Envy smiled back at her, "Glad to hear it. Now let's get-GAH!"
All of a sudden, Envy's pupils started to dilate. He groaned and held his head like it was about to fall off. Jodie had gone from nervous about the party to worrying about her friend. He was about to fall over, but managed to support himself against the wall. Jodie went over to help him, but he slightly turned away from her and didn't move when she tried to get him to look at her.
"Are you okay?" Jodie asked with a concerning voice.
"Ye-yeah, I'm just fine." He said before letting out a pained moan.
"Are you sure? You don't look so good. Do you want me to get help?"
"No… Why don't you… Head back inside… I'll be a minute…"
Jodie nodded her head, and hesitantly went back into the living room. The second the door closed shut, Envy ran up the stairs and into the bathroom; he shut the door and locked it. Through his head he could hear nothing but a painful ring; A sound that he thought that any minute it would turn his brain to soup.
He was breathing heavily like he was running a fever, and in a split second he felt his nose start to bleed; He began to feel dizzy.
"Damn it… Out of all the times… Why… Now…?"
And just like that, he fell to the ground, and passed out.
Meanwhile in the living room, Jodie was sitting on the couch looking anxious. She couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong him, but she couldn't figure out why. She turned to the door and realized that he was gone for a while.
"I hope Envy is okay." Jodie thought in her head, "I wonder what could be wrong with him…"
She soon felt the presence of someone sitting next to her. She turned to see it was Matt, who was looking at her funny. "Hi." He said, "You're Jodie right?"
"Ye-yeah." She said hesitantly before thinking, "Just when I didn't have enough problems."
"What happened to your friend?" Matt asked her, "What's his name? William?"
Jodie replied, "He… He wasn't feeling to well. He went to the bathroom, I think."
"Oh, hope he's alright."
"Yeah, me too."
There was an awkward silence between them. Matt had then cleared his throat and said, "I've never seen you or him at school before. You two don't take classes on base?"
"Is he trying to flirt with me…?" She thought to herself, "No, it couldn't be that."
"We're both in a different program." She replied, "We have our very own teacher. It's… Kinda boring. I don't really see people around my age except for him. We worked in the same lab. She thought it would be a good idea for us to come here and spend some time with people around other people our age so… Here we are."
"I used to live in London before I moved here two years ago." He said to her, "And you? Where did you live before?"
"He is seriously flirting with me! No, don't even think about it, you don't know him, don't let him get to you." Jodie thought before answering with a lie, "New York." Matt let out a smile, "Man! I love New York! It's awesome! I went there once and it blew me away!"
She couldn't help but turn to the door, "Envy where are you?" She kept on thinking. She heard Matt ask again "You have any hobbies? Anything you do for like fun? I surf every chance I get and I play in a band with a bunch of friends. And you? What are you into?"
"Nothing special." She said to Matt, "I read a lot. Boring, I guess…"
All the while she couldn't help but think, "Why are you still talking to him? Tell him off Jodie!"
"Can I…" He started to say to her, "Can I ask you something?"
Jodie didn't know why, but she nodded her head to him.
"Why are the two of you in Unit 4?" He asked, "I mean, what exactly do you two do?"
"Tell him off! Tell him off!" She said in her head.
But she found herself answering to him anyway, "I'd rather not talk about it."
Mentally Matt slapped himself in the face, "I'm sorry. Damn I'm so stupid! I hope I haven't upset you about anything."
"No." She said while shaking her head, "It's okay."
"Cool." He said.
The music in the room changed to slow calming music. "Slow dance!" Matt said, "You up for it?"
"No, I'm not much of a dancer." Jodie replied.
"That's alright." He said to her, "I don't really know how either so…"
"Look I should probably go check on-"
Before she could finish she found herself being taken over to the dance floor by Matt, and she was starting to dance with him. All the while she nervous through the whole thing. "This is embarrassing!" Jodie thought, "What if Envy comes back and sees me like this? He won't take it all too well, I'm sure."
She turned to the door, "Where is he anyway? He shouldn't be taking this long."
Her attention was drawn away from that when she heard Matt speak to her, "You know?"
"Hm?" She said, "What is it?"
"I'm sure you hear this all the time from your friend but…" Matt started to say, "You're really pretty you know?"
"Tell him off! Tell him off!"
Jodie replied with a simple smile, "Do you say that to all the girls you meet?"
Matt chuckled and shook his head, "You're not like the other girls… I mean there's… Something special about you…"
"Make him go away! You don't need him!"
"I guess you could say that." She replied.
She soon tensed up when she felt his hands move from her waist. Knowing where that was going, she moved his hands back up. She then saw he was leaning in to kiss her, but she immediately moved away.
"Thanks for the dance Matt…" She said, "But, I think I'll pass."
She soon thought, "Envy's been gone for too long now. I better go see what's wrong."
Before she could head out of the living room, she heard the music had stopped and heard Jen say, "Guys, guys! Why doesn't Jodie give us a demonstration of her super mega powers!?"
Jodie found herself surrounded by the teens, she tried to find her way out as she said, "No, no, no, I…"
"Great idea! I'd pay to see that!" She heard Steven say.
"Aw forget it!" She heard the teen named Emma say, "It's just a load of bull."
"Yeah come on Jodie!" Kristen said, "Show us what you can do!"
"Okay Jodie." Matt said, "You up for a demonstration?"
Jodie looked around the group of people, unsure of what to do in the situation. Knowing that she couldn't show off, she decided to say, "No, no, no… I don't have 'powers'..."
"I told you so guys." Emma said, "It's all a load of bullshit."
Kristen had then said, "Right! Okay guys! It's time to eat the delicious cake… and most important to open my birthday gifts!"
They went over to the coffee table and Jodie was about to leave the living room. But before she could she was stopped by Kristen, "Hey come on Jodie, stick around, forget about your friend for now."
"Um… Okay… I guess." Jodie said hesitantly.
"Envy… Where are you?" She thought as she went to join them. Kristen sat next to Matt on the couch and was about to cut the cake when she said, "Actually, the cake can wait. I'm opening my gifts first!"
She grabbed the first box from the table. "Love Jen, xxx." Kristen read on the card of the box before turning to Jen, "Aww that's nice babe. I beat it's new knee socks!"
She opened the gift from Jen to reveal a-
"A thong!" She exclaimed, "Just exactly what I needed!"
"Now you can stop stealing your moms." Jen said.
"And improve your chances on finding a boyfriend." Emma added.
Kristen than said, "My future lover wants to thank you for making his life more… Interesting."
She put the gift to the side, and took the gift that Jodie and Deidara bought in. She opened and Jodie saw that her expression had a disgusted look. "What is that?" Jen asked with the same look that Kristen had.
"An old book…" Kristen said, "It smells funky…"
"It's a really rare collection." Jodie had explained, "Poems by Edgar Allen Poe."
"Edgar Allan who?" Kristen said.
"What? Did you steal that book from your grandpa's library?" Steven asked her.
"No, no, it's really rare." Jodie tried to reason.
"Yeah, just like your dress." Emma remarked causing everyone to laugh at her. "No seriously is this a joke?" Kristen asked her all irritated, "I can't believe you came all the way to my birthday party just to give me this old crap!"
"And she thinks she's so clever." Emma added, "But she and the blonde are just lab rats."
"FREAKY lab rats." Jen said.
"Yeah." Matt said getting up from the couch, "She's been following me around like a puppy all evening… Begging for it."
"Oh!" Emma said, "And she's a slut too."
They started to surround her, "I didn't even want to invite her and the blonde." Kristen said, "My mom made me invite them."
"Yeah she's a slut." Emma said, "A slut and a witch."
Matt said, "We should like… Do something to her."
"What do you do with witches?" Jen said.
"You burn them!" Emma said. Jodie felt a burning sensation on her arm. She cried out it pain and that the burning sensation came from Emma's cigarette. She was then grabbed by them and started to drag her out of the living room. She started to panic and started to thrash, trying her best to get out of their grip but it was to no avail.
She then found herself being stuffed in the supply closet just under the stairs; she heard them lock the door from the outside. Through the keyhole she saw Kristen put the small key in her pocket.
She knocked on the door hard. "LET ME OUT!" She cried out through her tears, "I WANNA GET OUT PLEASE!"
But they ignored the her cries and screams. She heard Matt say "Did someone say cake?"
"Yeah, all this excitement is making me hungry." Jen said, "Let's get this party started!" And she heard them wonder back into the living room.
She backed up into the far corner of the small closet, and she let herself be consumed by her tears.
"Envy…" She choked as she sobbed, "Help me please…"
Upstairs in the bathroom, Envy had started to come too. He groaned as he got up off the floor, while coughing a little. "Gah…" He groaned wiping the blood off his nose, "Damn it… That could've gone better… At least Jodie didn't have to see it."
Just than he felt the room go cold; he saw his own breath as he breathed. Immediately he knew who it was.
"Aiden?" He said looking in the direction of the presence, "What are you doing here? I thought you were with-"
He was cut off when he heard Aiden speak to him. He's eyes widened in horror by what he told him.
"THEY PUT HER WHERE!?" He exclaimed.
He ran out of the bathroom and down the stairs. When he did, he heard the sound of crying coming from the supply closet. He quickly ran over to it, knowing who the cries belonged too.
"Jodie!" He said while knocking, "Jodie it's me!"
Within the closet Jodie picked up her head, and knew who it was from the outside. "Envy!" She exclaimed through her tears, "Envy help me! I wanna get out! Please!"
Okay hang on! I'll have you out of there!" He reassured her. From the outside, Envy tried to open it with the knob, but it didn't work. "Damn it! It needs a key to open it!" He said.
"Kristen has the key!" Jodie said within the closet, "But I don't know what she did with it!"
"Fuck!" He said under his breath.
He turned to Aiden, "Aiden, get it open! Quick!"
He backed up from the door, and it had swung open. busting the lock. Envy quickly went over to Jodie, and helped her out of there. Without having any second thoughts, she threw her arms around his neck. Envy froze when this happened, but had eventually but his arms around her.
"Aiden told me what happened." Envy whispered to her, "I'm so sorry."
"I was so scared…" She choked out, "I was so scared…"
"Jesus Christ." He said with guilt, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to leave you in there alone. It's just that I-"
He soon stopped himself when he saw a fresh burn mark on her arm, as well as bruises. He gently pushed Jodie out of the hug and took a closer look on her arm.
Jodie saw his eyes change, from worry to anger. Something she's never seen in him before.
"Did they do this?" He asked her.
"Envy I-" Jodie said before he repeated the question cutting her off, "Did they do this?"
Jodie at first didn't answer, but eventually she nodded, "She said she didn't like the gift… They called me a witch. And Matt said I was a slut…" She saw him gritted his teeth, and let out a glare.
Without even turning to her, she heard him say, "Wait outside."
"What?" She said.
"Go outside and wait for me." He said, "Do not come back in, no matter what you hear."
Envy was about to enter the living but was stopped when he heard Jodie say, "Wait! What are you going to do?"
Without turning to her he had replied, "I'm going to make them pay."
He opened the door and walked in the living room. Jodie turned to go out the front door, but she then felt aggression in her soul.
She couldn't let Envy have all the fun, "Go Aiden."
Within the living room, Envy shut the door behind him; The five teens didn't even notice that he had entered, or the fact that he was very pissed off. He felt Aiden's presence in the room and he sensed that he was as pissed off as he was. "Let's see which one of us can make them croak." He whispered to Aiden, "Don't let anyone out, till I give the word."
He felt the door lock behind him and he moved forward, specifically towards Matt; The teens still failed to notice him or at the fact he took out his from his pocket and prepared the voice recorder. He then got Matt's attention.
"Matt." Was all he said to get his attention.
Matt turned to him, and before he could say anything, Envy threw a punch at him, knocking out a tooth. The girls couldn't help but scream when that had happened. Steven got up and went over to him, grabbing his arm, "Hey what the fuck are you-"
Envy batted away his arm and kneed him in the stomach; Steven fell on his knees and Envy had elbowed him to the ground. At this point the three other girls in the room started to tremble with fear.
Kristen shook it off and said, "What the hell is your problem!?"
"I'm pretty sure you know what the damn problem is." Envy said with a hiss at the end of his sentence.
"What are you talking about!?" She asked him, with a bit of fear.
"I'm talking about what you, and your little friends did to Jodie!"
"What are you-!?"
"You called her a witch and a slut and stuffed a poor girl in the closet!"
"Oh come on, we were just playing."
"And I suppose the cigarette burn on her arm was all fun and games too?" Envy glared over at Emma specifically, which caused her to shrink; if looks could kill Emma would probably be dead if she made direct contact in those burning violet eyes.
Matt got up from the floor and said to him, wiping the blood off of his mouth, "Hey, it was just like the girl said, it's was all just a bit of fun. That's all."
Envy punched him again, causing him to fall face first, "You call traumatizing an innocent girl fun!?" Envy shouted, "HOW WOULD YOU ALL FEEL IF I STUFFED ALL OF YOU IN A CLOSET AND LET YOU DROWN IN YOUR OWN TEARS!? THAT WOULDN'T BE FUN NOW WOULD IT!?"
At this point everyone in the room was starting to feel guilty about what they did. Kristen stepped forward and Envy could tell she was lying as she said, "Okay, okay, just calm down look. We didn't mean to do what we just-"
"Don't you fucking dare say, it was fun." Envy said to Kristen, "That's not fun, it's just fucking cruel. And the way I see it, you don't get off that easy. You can't go away without getting the proper punishment."
"Aw what, you gonna give us a pep talk, go ahead!" Kristen taunted.
"Ooooo! I'm so scared." Emma said to him getting her own groove back.
"Emma, Kristen, I don't think you should be pushing this guy's buttons." Jen said, "He's pissed about what we did and there's no reas-"
"We know what we're doing!" Kristen said to Jen.
"Besides…" Emma began to add, "It's just a load of bull-shit. They don't have powers."
Envy gave a look to her, and said, "Guess, nobody told you. You mess with the bull, you get the horns."
With just a simple flex of his finger, the cake on the coffee table had suddenly blew up; Everyone except for Envy jumped at that.
"What the hell was that!?" Jen shouted.
"I don't fucking know!" Steven shouted
Matt turned over to Envy, and before he could point it out, Envy clenched his fist. This time, the table had suddenly broke in two; Everyone except for Envy jumped again, "Shit that's crazy, I'm getting out of here!" Emma exclaimed.
"Don't leave me alone!" Kristen shouted to Emma.
"Okay, wait for me!" Jen said as she followed them.
Jen was the first at the door, and she tried to get it open. "The door won't open!" Jen exclaimed.
"That's impossible!" Kristen said, "Try harder!"
"I'm telling you it's locked!" Jen shouted at Kristen.
Matt turned back to Envy, "Are you doing this!?" He shouted fearfully.
Envy ignored his question and said, "You bastards just don't get it do you? You all did something unforgivable, and now, I'm… No we're going to make you pay."
"We?" Matt said with his eyebrow raised.
Suddenly the lamp which had sat on the dresser, flew off and hit Matt on the side. Everyone in the room had literally just scattered. Kristen went for the phone, but Envy made the phone just blow apart before she could even reach it. She shrieked and went to hide under the table with Jen.
Aiden found all kinds of ways just to see them run; He managed to flip the table that Jen and Kristen were hiding; They scattered again. Aiden had launched a chair at Emma making her lose her balance and fall over. He then launched a footstool at Steven making him fall flat on his back.
"Aiden that's enough!" He heard Jodie say, "I think they get the message!"
Envy stopped over to Matt who was trying to get out the back door. He lifted his hand making it look like a gun and flexed his thumb. The refrigerator doors had suddenly swung open, hitting Matt on his sides causing him to fall over. With the simple movement of his hand, the refrigerator fell over almost crushing him; Matt managed to move from there.
"ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT WE GET IT!" Matt shouted, with panic in his voice, "WE'RE SORRY! WE DIDN'T MEAN TO DO IT HONEST! PLEASE WILLIAM WE-!"
A knife flew to Matt, just missing him, causing Matt to let out a small scream. He turned to Envy, and he was giving a look to kill towards him. "Don't call me by my first name." Envy said to him, "I don't remember giving you the privilege."
Suddenly the stove went on; No doubt it being Aiden, and smoke started to fill up the room.
"Aiden!" Jodie shouted again through her thoughts, "You're killing them! You have to let them out!"
Jodie heard a scream; the voice had belonged to Matt.
Through Aiden's eyes, she saw that Envy was keeping him from moving by having two knives stuck to his shirt. Envy then went to pick up a kitchen knife, and Jodie's eyes widened in horror. Never before in her life has she ever seen him like this; she had to stop him from crossing the line.
"Oh God!" Jodie said as she stood outside, "He's going to kill him! I've gotta stop him! I HAVE to stop him!"
Within the house, Envy went towards Matt holding the knife in hand. He prepared himself to stab Matt and-
"ENVY STOP!"
He just pretty much froze when he heard that all too familiar voice. "Jodie…?" He whispered to himself.
Jodie's voice came echoed again.
"PLEASE JUST STOP! HE'S ALREADY GOTTEN THE MESSAGE, THEY'VE ALL GOTTEN THE MESSAGE! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!"
The knife dropped from his hand and he held his head; He backed up from Matt. "But how can that be?" He thought to himself, "How can I hear her? I thought Aiden was the only one who could-"
All of a sudden, an intense pain rushed all throughout his body again. He fell to his knees and coughed out blood; Matt jumped at the sight. Envy breathed heavily and coughed out some more blood making a puddle. Moaning in pain he got up off the floor and used anything he could find for support. With a snap of his fingers the fire on the stove was put out and the smoke was let out and the knives were removed and placed back up on the counter.
"Aiden…" He said with a low voice, "Let them out… We're done…"
Jodie sensed that Aiden had calmed down and that she had smelled nothing burning. She sighed with relief knowing that no one would die. But those calming thoughts soon came to a halt when she saw the door open wide. She saw Envy wobbling out of the house; his mouth covered with fresh blood.
Jodie let out a gasp at the sight of him in such of horrible condition. Then Kristen, Jen, Emma, Steven and Matt came running out, knocking him over on the floor.
"Envy!" She shouted as she ran over to him. She flipped Envy over on his back, and held him in her arms, seeing that he passed out.
"Envy!" She said shaking him gently, "Envy can you hear me!? Envy please answer me!"
The only response that she had gotten from him was a groan in agony; he was in pain, Jodie could tell.
"Envy! Envy please! Please wake up!" She begged. She soon felt a rock thrown at her head. She looked to see that Kristen was the on that threw the rock. "You're a devil!" She shouted, "YOU'RE A FUCKING DEVIL! YOU AND THAT STUPID PALM TREE!"
She and her other friends threw more rocks at her, however Aiden protected her from the incoming objects by creating a shield, around her and Envy.
Just than two cars had pulled up; it was revealed to be Kristen and Nathan. "KRISTEN!" Her mother shouted, seeing what she and her friends were doing, "YOU STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" Kristen's mother managed to stop what they were to Jodie and him.
As she started to scold her obviously mad about what she saw, Nathan saw fresh blood from Envy, and saw the state Jodie was in. He ran over to them.
"Nathan! I don't know what's wrong with him!" Jodie said with panic, "He's not waking up! I don't know what to-"
Nathan placed both of his hands on her shoulders and said, "Calm down Jodie, don't panic. Let's get him back home."
Jodie nodded her head in agreement, and Nathan picked him up off the floor; thus they went to the car.
-Department of Paranormal Activity (Later that Night)-
Hours had passed after they had gotten back from the party. The minute they arrived, Nathan had immediately called in Emily, and she had checked on him. She had told Jodie it was sickness of some kind, that he's had since birth and as a child have been giving him medication, and they took him off of it recently. They didn't think it would come back until now.
Jodie had sat there by Envy's side, she watched him as he slept; she was worried that he wouldn't be able to wake up. Her hands couldn't help but tremble at the thought.
"You've been sitting here since we got back." Aiden had said, "You should get some sleep."
"How can I Aiden?" Jodie asked him, "How can I after what happened to him today?"
"I know you're worried about him, I am too, but that's no reason for you to keep yourself up like this."
"I know, but I can't help it. I can't sleep knowing that something worse might happen to him while he was still unconscious."
"Well, it isn't your fault, it's theirs. If they didn't do what they did to you, than he wouldn't have gone on a rampage."
Jodie was about to say something to Aiden, but was cut off when Envy suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for air; immediately he sat up.
"Envy! Oh thank God!" Jodie said with relief, "You're awake." He turned to her and noticed Aiden was there as well. "Jodie? Aiden?" Envy said all groggily, "I feel like shit, what happened?"
"You collapsed suddenly." Jodie explained, "After you and Aiden went on a full rampage you just passed out. Nathan rushed you back here when he saw the blood on your face."
"Did that really happen?" He asked her; all she did was nod her head in reply. "Oh God, you must've been so worried." He said to her, "I'm so sorry."
"No don't apologize!" Jodie said, "It's not your fault, really!"
Envy sighed as he buried his face in his hands. "God… I feel awful." He said.
"You gave everyone a scare." Aiden said to him.
"You don't think I know that buddy?" Envy asked him.
"You really had everyone worried about you." Jodie said, "Nathan and Cole… Even Emily thought you that you were…"
"I know." Envy said to her, "I know. I'm sorry. Not just about this, but… But making you go to that party, and leaving you alone with those… Those… Damn it I'm sorry."
"Stop apologizing all right you idiot." Jodie said to him, "I'm just glad that you're still here."
"But to think I almost crossed the line. I almost killed Matt." Envy said.
"You did almost go too far." Aiden said.
"This coming from the guy that almost burned down the house." He countered.
"Touche." Was all that Aiden said.
"Both of you almost crossed the line." Jodie said to the two of them, "But I'm glad that neither of you did."
Envy looked at Jodie with concern, "Are you alright though? I mean after what they did to you-" Envy said before getting cut off by him.
"I'm alright." She said to him, "Thank you. For helping me back there."
"I think I'm the one that should be thanking you." Envy said.
They both hugged each other, and stayed like that for the longest time; they didn't know how long exactly.
Envy had broken the silence when he asked, "I'm gonna expect a scolding from Emily later right?"
Jodie couldn't help but chuckle at that, as did Aiden.
