"Nonononono! That wasnt what happened!" Mike laughs, sitting at one of the diner tables with Victor, Phoenix and Alex, Jin and James, Abigail, Sora and Alissa. "You going to lie in front of everybody Mike?" Victor laughs at his boyfriend. "I'm serious! Look, okay, me and Victor had ditched Kassey and Charlie but not to go 'down to the lake and get it on' as he so tastfully put it." Mike smiles as everyone laughs. James exuses himself to the kitchen to check the food, being the head chef and all.
"Where did you learn how to cook?" James jumps almost dropping the bowl of seaoned chicken. James snaps to the voice behind him. "Fuckin-! Phoenix! You cant be in here!" James trys his damnest to move the green eyed male out the kitchen. "Whhhhhhhhhhhhy?" he whines, trying not to laugh as James continued to fail and push his stomatch. "Because you pick at the food-Stop it!" he huffs and grills Phoenix as he starts eating the patato fries. "I *chews* cant seem to understand. I'm slow." Phoenix shrugs as he continues to eat the fries. "Stop it!" James snatches the bowl away and glares at Phoenix. "Get out." he says softly, still glaring. Phoenix being the big toughy he is, stands his ground and crosses his arms. "No."
"OWWW!" Everyones attention turns to the kitchen. Jin decides not to get up and let things run it's course. Everyone watches as James chases Phoenix out the kitchen with the broom. "Stay out!" James yells as he continues to hit Phoenix with the broom. "Jin! Alex! HELP!" Everyone laughs as Phoenix trips and James bounces around him, still hitting him with the broom. James finally stops, panting heavly. "Dont come in the kitchen, again." Phoenix glares at him from underneth his arm. "...fine." James glares at him alittle longer then sighs, and stalks back to the kitchen. Phoenix slowly gets up and walks over to the table of people. "None of you...even thought to help?!" he hisses very slow and very calm. Everyone exchanges looks, all a face of bulit up laughter. "W-Well...ya see hun,..." Alex bursts out laughing and that sets everyone off. Phoenix closes his eyes, sighs and sits next to Alex, who is giggling. "I'm-I'm sorry Phoenix." he looks at the narrowed green orbs on him and-
"Pfffffffffffffffft! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha!"
The green eyes close again and wait til everything is silent to reopen. Alex smiles and cuddles Phoenix's crossed arms. Truth was, he could care less of who held on to him as long as someone cared enough to do so. So when Alex hold on to him, Phoenix's anger melts away into a sigh. "Okay Alex is off the hook, but you Jin" he points an acussing finger at his brother with his free hand. "You have no excuse!"
"I indeed do." Jin smiles, his sharp teeth bright white and his eyes sparkling. "James is one scary man." Everyone laughs and they continue to smile and laugh, Phoenix sparing a glance at the cook in the kitchen evey now and again.
"They were what?!" A dark cloaked woman hisses at cut up, bloody nurse.
"Grauhuahudbkcdbu-"
"Okay enough." she hisses, not wanting to hear the dead nurses garguling any more. "I want you to find Jin. No! Better yet I want you to take me to him. He will be made an example of. Him and his brothers." she growls. "But what of Alex? What of his memory loss?" a voice hisses softly from the darkness beyond the woman. "Do not worry of such things. He will gain his memory and forget all about his fleshy sinful friends. Alex is King! No king would ever discuss himself with such sinners."
"You are right. Go to Jin. Do what you must to in the streets of our town. He must be made an example."
"Yes my queen." the woman turns and bows to the darkness behind her, then follows the twitching nurses out.
'I will see you soon my king...'
Jin and James walk over to the hotel and up to the hotel room they were staying in. "Your cooking is amazing!" Jin laughs at the blush that appears on James cheek's. "Not really, I was just winging it. I-"
SLAM
Something hard slams against the hotel door. James jumps into Jin's arms. "Hide under the bed and be very quiet." James nods and follows the orders. He watches from the bed as Jin goes to the door. "Jin!" he whispers. Jin turns his head and smiles then opens the door. A pipe knocks him down to his knees.
"Jin! Where is he?!"
James covers his mouth as the woman speaks. "I dont know who it is you speak of. Why do you come to me in such an ill manner?" Jin asks on the floor holding his head. "You know who and why! The sons of our savior...You disgust me!" another hit. "Where is he?!" two people hold Jin's arms, ready to drag him away. "Who?!" Jin screams. "The sinful human! You have created a realtionship with this balsphamer and damned the rest of this town along with your brothers!" James realizes their talking about him. "I know not of whom you speak of." Jin's voice is small but unwavering. "Your willing to die for him?" shock and disgust dripping from her words.
James squeezes his hand around his mouth tighter, muffling his cries as he watches Jin send him a wary side way glance. "I am."
"So be it."
With another knock, Jin knocks out and is dragged away. When the men stop searching the room and finally leaves, James doesnt move, he doesnt speak. He lays there, crying.
"Mother! What is the meaning of this?!" Phoenix voice booms strong and loud through the dark church. "You know what this is my son. This holds as an example of what you and your brother must do."
"I will not! You..." his voice cracks as he turns to beaten, battered, bloody body of his dead brother. "You have killed you flesh and blood...for what?!" the anger exploded. "For these damned ghost-"
"For this town!"
Victor, Sora, Cybil and Alissa's cries could be heard, even over the sound of their mother. "You will remember to mind yourself!"
"Mind myself? In this insanity?!" the tears burn down his cheek as he shakes his head. "No..."
"No? You defy-"
"I cannot defy to whom I've never answer to. You killed Jin mother! What isnt sinking in?! Your son, our brother! NO! I will not kill these huma- James and Alex, nor Abigal and her brother, Mike. You and the rest of this town can burn and choke in the sulfer you've made, but the rest and I will not stand this." Victor appears next to Phoenix. "Damn right." their sisters appear next. "Mother, we cant let this go on." Alissa stands silent.
"Alissa darling, Mommy needs you. You know this."
Alissa looks at Jin's body, hanging from the town symbol out of the open doors of the church. "No mom..."
"Send any of your men and we will kill all of them. I'm sure that's as clear as it gets. We're leaving." Phoenix and his family swoop out of the chruch. "Miss! You mustn-!" a woman in a blue cloak falls in front of the dark pedastal. "Worry not my child. When our father arises, no sinners will live. He will purfiy this town once again.."
"Love? Love where are you?" Phoenix searchs Jin and James hotel room. A small hiccup gives away James. Phoenix slowly bends down and peaks under the bed. "James..."
"He's dead isnt he..? Jin?" he croaks, looking into Phoenix's dark mossy worried green eyes. Phoenix says nothing, giving James all the answers. "I-It was because of me..." Phoenix is never one to lie, so he simply doesnt answer. "Oh god...!" James starts to bawl and cry. "No please...Dont." Even as Phoenix moves the bed quickly and scrambles to hold James, Phoenix's voice still held the solmn tone. "I can stand to see anyone but you cry." he holds James to his chest as he continues to coo. "Ho-How can I not c-cry!? Jin is dead! Because of me..."
"Because he loved you. He wouldnt change that, you know this." James puffy, red and swollen light brown eyes lock with intense, loving greens. "I know...I loved him too you know?" he curls against the largers chest. "I know." Phoenix assures James as the crying simmers down to hiccups. "Di...Did you really mean what you said? At the hotel?" Phoenix thinks back
"I have never felt this way...about anyone, not even Jin..."
He nods. "That is still true and yes, I meant it." James heart starts to race but still, its breaking. "But dont worry about me. Your boyfriend...just...passed. You, as well as your heart, need time."
'His eyes, the way he smiles...' James wasnt thinking about Jin... James of coruse loved Jin...But could he love Phoenix just as much?
"Thank you..so much." he croaks, snuggling deeper into Phoenix's chest. "Sleep my love."
"YOUR LOVE?!" James and Phoenix's head snap to spot Alex fuming at the door. "Fuck me..." Phoenix mumbles. "Sideways..." James finishes as they stand.
"Look Alex, calm down-"
"Dont you tell me to calm down! How could you?! You said you love me!" Phoenix nods.
"I do-"
"Then what the hell are you doing calling James 'love'?!" James shrinks behind Phoenix. "Huhhhhhhhhhhh world wide comfort...name?"
"Your so full of shit! And you!" He points a finger a James. "You...I cant...ARG!" he screams, throwing a lamp. "Where'd he get the lamp?" James whispers to Phoenix, looking at the room lamp, still lit dimmly in the corner. "No idea."
"...to believe my 'friend'...GOD! You know what you are? A whore!" James gasps and comes out from hiding. "Who the fuck you think your calling whore?!" James growls, him and Alex only inches away from each other. "You! Didnt think anyone saw your boyfriend hanging in middle of the town, huh? So your boyfriend's dead and you go to snatch another? Not to meation you came here to find you wife? Wow!" Phoenix's eyes go wide as black, inky strings circle Alex. "James..." the bruntte is fuming, dying to get into a fight. "Thats none of your damned buisness is it?!" James barks, his hand balling into fists.
"James get back here.." Phoenix continues to whisper. Alex smirks, the ink attaching themselves, binding themselves into his skin. "I think it is yes. I try to help you, you push me away, I selflessly put aside my quest to find my brother and you go to steal my boyfriend. This is my buisness. Your in my town! Understand that bitch." he sneers, his dirty blond hair turning black and his eyes becoming red. "James!" Phoenix snaps, but still, James goes to punch him.
"Hmph." the inky cloak of strings grab James' fist, imbedding like razor blades into his skin. "AHHHHHH! SON OF A FUCKING-!" he pulls his fist out of the ink, his skin tearing off in doing so. "You motherfucker!" James glares at Alex but the glare melts away into shock and fear. "A...A-Alex?"
A dark rumble of laughter answers. "Silent Hill will thrive again and in turn, so will Sheperds Glen. The secret is to purfy all the filth that has entered this town! Filth like you." strands of black go out to attack Phoenix and James at the point of Alex's finger. "Ah,ah,ah." he tsks, the strands coming to a stop only inches away from the others. "Not yet. We have much planing to do." Alex snaps his red eyes to James and Phoenix. "I'll be seeing you two...most likely dead. See ya!" he walks out, the ink trailing behind him.
"What..the fuck was that...thing following him?" James asks, still holding his barely fleshed hand. "What ate and killed the rest of this town..." pitful green turn to James.
"Darkness."
