Mitch stretched out lazily on the carpet, thankful that they got a house with soft carpet. Jerome eyed him as he sunk into the beanbag to the right of the couch. The group had decided that they all just needed a little break and had chosen to watch a movie in the comfort of their own home. The movie wasn't playing yet, but everyone was getting ready. And while most of them were sitting, or in Mitch's case laying, down. Some were getting food, drink, blankets, cups, bowls and other little necessities. Husky walked in with a tray of cups and bottles filled with fizzing liquid. Ian followed carrying a tray of wooden bowls and an assortment of sweet and savory foods. They sat down and everyone began filling their cups and bowls with what Husky and Ian had brought in. Brice walked into the room, followed by Ty and Songbird. The two sat down while Songbird flew from Ty's shoulder to a cushion someone had left on next to the table. Sky grabbed a blanket and threw it over Ty's and Brice's lap. Seto hugged a pillow and handed one to the man next to him. Sky chuckled as Ty held the pillow for dear life. 'Those two never were too fond of horror movies', he thought as he turned his head and looked at the screen.
An hour later they had to turn the movie off and get a more calming movie on. Ty's and Seto's tears were still trailing down their cheeks. Mitch pulled out a DreamWorks film and the two settled down a little. Ty and Seto were still clinging to their pillows and each other from when they had tried to hide behind one another. The film started and the other let out a collective, but silent sigh as the two seemed to calm down and the tears stopped.
They paused the movie halfway through and Sky got up to take the trays back into the kitchen. He walked in and put the trays on the bench. Looking up he felt his heart stop for a second before going into overdrive with fright. A silhouette was sitting at the table. Moon light seeming to not effect it at all. Its head perked up when Sky heart sped up as if it could hear the spike in fear. It slowly gout up from the chair and turned around. Sky felt like his heart was going to burst at the figure turned around. He looked at the eyes, the teeth, the claws and blinked back tears. He breathed in as he ran out of oxygen, closed his eyes and opened them again. The figure was gone. It had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Sky felt his fear dissipate and shakily walked over to the sink to get a glass of water. He needed to calm his almost shot nerves before the others asked him what was wrong. They would probably think it was the movie, but Sky knew better than that.
Jerome looked up at the doorway and back at the clock on the wall. The others were talking, but Sky was taking a really long time putting two trays away. He pushed himself up off the beanbag and walked over to the door. He swallowed and walked into the kitchen. Sky was leaning against the sink, drinking some water. Jerome let out a silent sigh of relief and walked over to get himself a glass. He filled it up and looked at the garden through the window as Sky was walking back to the other room. Sky turned around as he heard water splatter and the echo of a glass shattering. He quickly walked over to Jerome and looked out the window that Jerome was looking out of. He felt his heart stop and he had to tighten his grip on the glass he was holding so he wouldn't drop it. There it was, smiling at them, taunting them, its eyes laughing at them. The two held its gaze for a couple of seconds before it looked past them at the doorway. Sky turned his head and to look and see Ty and Seto, laughing it up with Tyler and Mitch. The four were nearing the kitchen entrance. Sky looked back at the figure, whose eyes had turned from laughing to hatred in a matter of seconds. It stepped out of view of the window and was gone. The four men entered the kitchen as Sky and Jerome got to work cleaning up the glass.
