Grah… I think it's best if I get this out now… People have been nagging me. (Looks at Elisa) I'm not saying names or anything lol. I just got back from a trip to Newfoundland with my school band. Yay us. We came back from the competition with a silver medal, but our jazz band came back with gold. I got some art done there and will scan when I get back to my mom's this summer… tell me what you all think!
Chapter 11
Duet stood shell-shocked looking after the trail of foot prints his friend had left in the sand. He'd barely heard what Bikky had said. He shook his head, trying in vain to clear his thoughts. He'd thought about following him, but couldn't even muster the strength in his inhuman body to move a muscle.
And that was how Dee found him. Standing immobile staring at footprints in the sand.
"How long have you been standing there?" Dee questioned softly.
Duet started violently and whipped his head around to look at the tall man.
"Wha…?" He tried, but couldn't force his inarticulate vocal cords to work.
"I said, how long have you been standing there?"
Duet looked pained but shook his head.
"I… don't know." He looked lost and Dee took pity on him.
"I just saw Bikky. He wouldn't tell me what happened, but I can sort of guess by now."
"I don't know what happened… I…"
Dee smiled lightly and looked towards the heavens, silently thanking whom ever was up there for his relationship being sound.
"I think you just need to find him and you guys will be fine." Dee nodded sagely before patting the boy's shoulder. "I'm off to Ryo's right now, Bikky's at home."
With a parting glance Dee waved and trotted in the opposite direction that Duet was now walking.
The longhaired boy shook his head and decided to run. He didn't want Bikky doing anything stupid.
Bikky ran his hand through his hair and took the elastic that kept it in its tail out. He sighed dejectedly and lay back on his bed. The blonde boy thought that at this moment, he'd made the stupidest decision of his life. He shouldn't have said anything. He shouldn't have gotten so mad. He should have stayed with Duet. But no… He'd done the typical teenager thing of hide and seek, only he never hoped to be found.
The boy rolled over on his bed and buried his head in his pillow, falling asleep almost instantly. Not a moment later, Duet had stepped into the room. He hung his head and gasped slightly for air. A normal walk from the park would have taken about half an hour. He'd just run it in ten minutes. Now, looking at the boy he'd run for, he smiled at the near angelic countenance that the blonde boy possessed. He moved slowly to the bedside, using his unnatural talents to stay quite. He lay down beside the boy and fell asleep with a smile on his face.
Okay guys… contest is still on. It's like… 12:32 in the morning right now, so I'm stopping there. I need sleep after all. Hope this is a bit more satisfying than silence. Love you all!
