Chapter 2 Into Thin Air

A few days after the last chapter...

Mark is having more and more problems. Just yesterday he all of a sudden developed rabbit ears. But this time, he received some help. Lucille went and talked to him in private, closing his bedroom door, leaving his brothers to wonder what was going on.

Right now, Brad and Randy are sitting at the dining table, having lunch.

'What do you think is going on, Randy? I mean, Mark is just pulling a trick on us, right?' Brad asks while Mark and Lucille are talking once again.

'I don't know, man. If he is, then I want to know how he's doing this.'

'Well, it has to be a trick. I mean, this can't be real. How can anyone change hair color that fast and then grow rabbit ears?'

'I don't know. I don't believe it either, but how was he able to do it? Maybe it is something we can't explain.'

'What.. You mean, like magic or something? Oh come on, Randy. You of all people can't honestly believe in that. I mean, you always want a logic explanation.'

'Well, I can't come up with one now, can you? And why couldn't I have changed my opinion? I am open for everything.'

'Yeah, that's why you and dad still don't believe in aliens and don't want to hear otherwise.' Randy rolls his eyes.

'Just forget it.' They keep on eating in silence, when a scream makes them jump up from their chairs.

'That sounded like Mark!' They rush upstairs and burst open his bedroom door. But Lucille closes it very fast. Just not before they see Mark, with not just rabbit ears, but a rabbit tail and nose. They look at each other with wide eyes, when their grandmother steps out into the hallway.

'Hello boys.'

'Uh, grandma, what happened to Mark? We heard him scream.'

'Did he have rabbit ears, tail and nose?'

'Huh, look at the time. It's time for you boys to go see a movie.' They look confused.

'But..' Lucille shoves money into their hands.

'Here's some money for the movie and snacks and take your time, alright? Grandma has some phone calls to make.' She starts to push them towards the stairs again and blocks their way to go back. They try to go against her, but she won't budge.

They reluctantly head outside.

'I don't want to go see a movie.'

'Me neither.' Randy agrees.

'Well, we do have money, why don't we head to the arcade?'

'Yeah, that's a great idea, we haven't been there in a long time.'

'Exactly.' They smile and start to walk towards the arcade.

On their way there, Randy all of a sudden stops, while Brad keeps on going. When he notices Randy isn't beside him, he stops as well and looks behind him. There's Randy, looking at something with confusion in his eyes.

'Randy, what are you doing? Come on, it's not that far anymore.' he turns around, but stops when he notices Randy is still not following.

'Randy? hello?' he waves a hand in front of his brother's face, as he looks very distant. He goes to flick his brother upside the head, when Randy looks up angrily and pushes off Brad's hand.

'Look down.' he points down and Brad looks. He screams and nearly falls as he sees, his feet are no longer touching the ground...

'Oh my god... what the hell? I'm flying?' He says with a near whisper. He tries to move, when he falls to the ground with a thud. Randy rushes towards him and helps him up.

'Ok, now I definitely think there are very strange things going on around here. Come on, we're going home. This is not normal and I think grandma knows more about all of this.' Brad nods nervously and they quietly head home.

Meanwhile in the bushes...

"Hmm... The Taylor powers have been reactivated. I need to tell the master. Something has to be done!"
