OMG!!! I'M ALIVE!! What's it been, about 3 months now? X__X K I'm gonna be toally honest here:
'Kay, after I sent out the newest chapter in February I planned to take about a month off. But, March 16, the track season started so I got caught up in that. Plus seeing as I'm in an honors English class my teacher decided it would be a great idea to give us 2 essays and 5 PROJECTS...straight. Like this is the first week since the beginning of March that I haven't had a project due in two days. Plus, I only have a few days of track left, four exactly, so I'll start getting back into writing. So, (if you guys even remember XD) I chose to do a Kaimyx and Larmyx after I do a little more with this. Oh and May 30 is my birthday, turning 15, so wish me a happy birthday or ima come to your house and kill you in your sleep D
"The entire city was now ripe with darkness. She was totally out of breath from running so much. She saw no sign of her pursuer as she looked behind her, only to see that they had not followed her into the alleyway. So then just as she was letting out a sigh of relief, she heard that oh so familiar blood curling howl that pierced her ears each time she heard it. Her eyes opened up in distraught, backup up into the alley even more, getting darker and darker. She backed up until she tripped over her steps and fell to the ground. Suddenly, the howl ceased. There was a somber pause of silence, that is, until she turned around to meet the eyes of her pursuer. Glowing with lust, those green, sharp eyes whirled around in their sockets as the towering monster howled in valiance. The woman backed up on the ground, her hand splashed in dirty puddles of rainwater desperately, groping around the dark for something to fight back with. The ominous lurker slowly lumbered toward the helpless woman, growling with pleasure. The woman, now desperate for any sign of hope, was backed into a corner like some kind of wild animal. The beast's let out one more howl before the woman shrieked in horror and then finally—OWW MAN!" Demyx leaped up in the air when he felt a sudden pinch on the top of his head.
"Demyx, thats enough! I'm scared already as it is!" A girl sitting by the fire barked, causing Demyx to flinch again for fear of being hit. This young girl was Axel's sister, Rose, but her friends call her by her middle name, Melanie. She stared at Demyx with her clear hazel eyes, mesmorizing him through the fire. Axel had to snap his fingers in front of Demyx's face to get him to stop looking over. Now, the origianl plan was to spend Satuday night over Demyx's house, but his parents actually had a change of plans and decided to stay home, so then Demyx came over Axel's house and made a fire in his backyard.
"Well then Melanie, why are we still sitting here telling stories?"Demyx joked.
"I was trying to tell you guys to stop, but Axel just covered my mouth!" Melanie said, glaring now over to her brother.
"Hey hey hey, don't look at me, I'm not the one telling the stories here." Axel pointed out.
"Well then..." Demyx said shakily. "Hey Axel, have you told your sister about your new girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?!" Melanie squealed, now more into the conversation.
"She isn't my girlfriend.." Axel said, stretching out his arms. "She's just this girl at school I kinda like."
"'kinda?'" Demyx laughed. "Dude, you're totally obsessed with her. You can't stop talking about her for five seconds." Melanie went to a private all girls school, whereas Demyx and Axel went to the town public school, so she doesn't quite know much of Axel's friends besides Demyx, Roxas, and Naminé.
"Is she pretty?" Melanie asked, leaning over the fire.
"Well, yeah, of course she is."
"No she isn't." Demyx remarked. Seeing as Axel couldn't hit him because he was on the other side of the fire, he threw a rock at his knee.
"Why does everybody pick on the defensless guy?" Demyx complained, massaging his leg.
"Is she nice to you guys?" Melanie inquired to Axel.
"Well...she's err..." Axel couldn't quite find the right words to say.
"Pfft! Anything but!" Demyx said with a jaunty grin.
"Will you shut up?" Axel retorted, gritting his teeth. Demyx yielded, and Axel continued the conversation.
"What's her name?" Melanie questioned, brushing back her shiny brown hair.
"Larxene." Axel replied, then looked to Demyx to ensure that he doesn't put in his two cents.
"That's a pretty name." Melanie chimed. "Why don't you have her over sometime?"
"Eh, I wouldn't say she'd be very interested in doing that."
"How come?"
"She's probably too busy beating someone up to be bothered!" Demyx blurted out for the final time. This time Axel turned vicious and tackled Demyx to the ground, biting his arms and slapping him in the face, Demyx unable to hold in his laughter. Axel's phone began to ring, and Melanie noticed that Axel seemed to care more about massacreing Demyx than answering it. So Melanie answered the phone.
"Hello? Oh hello, Roxas, it's Melanie."
….......
"You and Naminé are coming over? Okay, great! Alright I'll tell Axel."
….................................
"That too? You sure?"
…..
"Well okay. See you later Roxy!" Melanie closed the phone.
"Axel!" She said as she kicked him off of Demyx, who was still howling in myrth.
"Roxas just called. He said he and Naminé are coming over, and he told me to tell you some sketchy car was following him around so Naminé got scared and then thats why theyre coming over so dont be surprised if that car comes around."
"Huh?" Demyx said, wiping a tear from his eye from laughing too hard.
"Roxas and Naminé are coming over." Axel intervened, wiping off his pants. "Did he say why this car was following them around?"
"Nope." Melanie replied. "But they should be here in about 15 minutes. Lets just wait out here until they show up."
"Hey! I got a good way to pass the time! Let's sing songs!" Demyx chimed.
"Demyx, you're weird." Melanie smiled.
--Roxas & Naminé--
"Naminé! We're gonna be fine! We're almost at Axel's house."
"But Roxas..we've been it everywhere..."
"We're gonna be fine. Promise."
Many cars passed them by, but none looked like the cars they've been seeing around. They got to the top of Axel's street, the first in his neighborhood. His house is all the way down at the bottom, when Naminé thought she heard the revving of an engine.
"Naminé! It's nothing! Just the trees in the wind, is all."
They passed Riku's and Zexion's houses, noticing the lights were off and the cars were gone.
"Axel's house just has to be on the bottom..." Roxas muttered to himself, making sure Naminé didn't hear him.
"Hey, there it is!" Naminé said, relieved. Roxas looked over to see a large smoke emitting from the back of Axel's house, and the lighs were on inside.
Axel, now inside, heard the doorbell ring.
"That must be them." He said to himself, approaching the door. But when he opened the door, no one was there. Axel peered outside.
"AHH!"
"AHHHHH!"
"Come on! Don't do that! Especially after you told us about that car man! Almost gave me a heart attack! Where's Naminé?"
"On the side. Come on out Naminé." And Naminé came out of the shadows as soon as Roxas requested so.
--Inside Axel's--
Roxas and Naminé explained to Axel and Melanie what has happened recently over the night. Demyx melted down on the couch listening to Axel's CD's.
"It was just circling around our street for like an hour." Roxas said, twirling his hand around in a circular motion. Axel followed his entrancing motion until it stopped.
"Then, Roxas went out to take out the trash for me." Naminé added, "And..."
"And what?"
"The car stopped in front of my house and revved the engine...at Roxas."
"So then I dropped the bag down and went back into the house, and the car left. Naminé was worried, so I suggested we come over here. But you guys weren't answering your home phone, I guess maybe because you were all outside."
"So the whole we've been making our way up here, that same pickup would circle our streets, stop near us, and turn back."
"And it would just slowly follow us all the way up here, then do the same thing."
Melanie and Axel both had the same look of confusion smacked across their faces. The two siblings almost looked like twins: they both had a triangular birthmark pointing down under their eyes. Melanie's eyes were a tiny bit dakrer green than Axel's,but didn't have Axel's fire red hair; she was a brunette. Axel was the only one in his family with that trait. Naminé looked past the two for a moment to catch up with Demyx.
"Hey Demyx, did you get all that?" Naminé called. She clearly noticed he had headphones on and went over and tapped his shoulder.
"Hmm?" Demyx looked up from his relaxed state of mind.
"Did you hear what happened?"
"What happened?"
Roxas smacked his forehead and rubbed his temples together, sighing deeply. "Demyx, Axel will tell you later.
"Melanie, your phone's ringing." Naminé pointed out, seeing the little light of her cell phone just barely touching the inside of her jeans pocket.
"Oh, thanks." Melanie smiled, and picked it up.
"Yello?"
….......
"Who's this?"
…..
"How'd you get my number?"
….............
"I dont know. What makes me think I'll tell you? First tell me who I am speaking to."
….......
"Very funny. I'm hanging up now. Goodbye."
…..
For a few moments after Melanie hung up, there was a dead silence that had fallen over the living room.
"Mel, who was that?" Roxas asked, his voice cracking.
"Dunno. Some weirdo." she shrugged.
"..Wh-what did he say?"
"He asked me if Roxas had Naminé with her."
"What did he sound like?
"An...old guy...." Melanie replied, biting her lower lip.
"Roxas, I'm scared!" Naminé cried, pulling Roxas over to her.
"Hey, Dem, come with me to put out that fire."Axel said calmy, getting up from the chair he was lounging in.
"Sure." Demyx agreed, and rose from his spot. Everyone watched them open the slide door and into the moonlit porch, walking down the stairs as if they were walking to their own demise.
"Dude, that was mad creepy. Do you think they know that Roxas and Naminé are over here?"
"I sure hope not." Axel sighed, poking the fire with a stick, causing to jump out like a wild animal wanting to take in the stick like a lion would its prey.
"Be pretty god damn creepy if we saw...that car...around..." Axel's eyes got distant again, looking into the night.
"What're you looking at?" Demyx asked, then looked to where Axel was.
There was a car stationed out in the middle of the street, in front of Axel's house.
Axel quickly put out the fire and rushed inside, locking the door as soon as Demyx jumped in.
"What's wrong?" Naminé's voice was shaking wildy now, and Axel could easily sense the fear inside of it. Not wanting to scare her, he lavishly replied, "Raccoon. It was outside and Demyx almost wet himself." he tried to put on his fake smile when he spoke, but it didn't work. Naminé' fear remained untamed, and still lingered on her face.
"Dude! That car's out there! In the front man!" Demyx screamed.
"Demyx you idiot! Don't scare her!" Axel barked, but it was too late. Naminé's anxiety leaped when she look out the window next to her.
"How did it find us?" Tears now starting to form in her eyes. Roxas held her close, closer than he ever had.
"It's gonna be alright. We'll get rid of that creep right here and now." he reasured her, wiping a tear away.
"Hey, lets go out there. I'm tired of running. Mel, just stay here with her." Roxas asked, but Melanie didn't comply.
"I wanna go out there too." Melanie said firmly.
"Roxas, I'll be okay. Let me come, too." Naminé stood up, noticing the car still parked outside.
"You're sure?" Roxas asked, delving deep into her blue eyes. She nodded, and Roxas agreed, "Okay, lets go then."
"We might be needing this." Demyx said, coming out of Axel's room. No one noticed he left, but he came back with a wooden basball bat.
"Aww man, Griffey Jr. signed that...." Axl mumbled, and swiped a switchblade from his father's workdesk. "Alrighty, I feel totally safe now."
--Outside--
The five stood out in the wandering dark, Naminé clinging to Roxas's arm. He found a crobar in Axel's basement, and clutched it in his right hand.
"Hey!" Roxas confronted the ominous vehicle first. "I've had just about enough of you! Now come on out and fight like a man! That is, if you are a man!"
There was no reply, but the ironically subtle growl under the car's hood, like the car could talk to them.
"I said come on out! Show yourself! I'm sick of you!!"
The engine now roared threateningly, so hard that everyone could smell the rising stench of gasoline surrounding them. Roxas now took a step forward, still gripping the crobar. The car did not budge.
Roxas took another few steps, Naminé releasing his arm.
"If you're gonna come out do it now! I'm fucking tired of you stalking us!"
The mechanical beast goraned once more. Suddenly its light turned off. Roxas held his ground.
The front door opened slightly, but then did not move.
The passenger door opened as well, to its fullest. No one came out.
The driver's door opened a little more, and a slim stook stepped down from the inside with an infamous cackle that only Axel could possible recognize.
Alright, that one wasn't too hard. Again, I apologize for being gone so long =/ after track started, I somewhat forgot about this. But I'll be sure to be getting back into it, I swear. I'll have that Kaymyx up and done by the end of June, and you can hold me to that. Also on a random note, today I have a meet after school, I'm running the mile and its my second to last race so wish me some luck. (If anyone reads this by today :P)
