Chapter 21

Kelso and Sylvester sat in silence for a few minutes. It wasn't a very awkward silence as the sound of Sylvester's pen was mixing well with the sound of Kelso's music. Though Sylvester finished what he was writing rather quickly and didn't want to waffle on in his journal. He slowly closed his journal and sat up.

"Uh-what kind of music is that?" Sylvester asked nervously. He hadn't experienced much music , he had listened to Tyrell's music a few times but Kelso and Ty'rell's music tastes were worlds apart. Kelso's music taste was much more hardcore then Tyrell's was. You would find Tyrell's music taste in a fantasy movie soundtrack whilst you would find Kelso's on an action video game soundtrack.

The question seemed to startle Kelso as she jumped. "This?" The obvious question made Sylvester nod shyly. "It's rock music, it's a bit more heavy then my brother's taste but it's nice to jam to."

"Jam?" Sylvester's eyebrows creased. "In what way do you...sugary spread to the music?" The miscommunication made Kelso nearly fall off the bed. Though he was still confused, the laughter that erupted from his friend made him crack a small smile.

"Oh Sylvester you are truly wonderful!" The giggles were still coming from Kelso every few moments. "Jam in this context...the verbal context-" Kelso didn't know exactly how much Sylvester would know and decided to add some more advanced words into the explanation. "- it means to dance or party to."

Sylvester's cheeks turned bright red as he covered his face in embarrassment with a small 'oh'. The action made Kelso erupt in another round of laughter. "No no noo stop!"Sylvester threw a pillow at Kelso but still held a grin on his own face.

There was little moment for Sylvester to reflect on what they were doing. He just let his instincts take control of him. He just wanted the tension to leave the room and for them to have a nice and peaceful time together. He knew that he was more comfortable with Laylian and Tyrell but he wanted to get to know Kelso, as a true and close friend.

"How dare!" Kelso exclaimed as she grabbed her own pillow and softly hit Sylvester. The touch made him flinch a little bit and Kelso thought she had gone too far. She was starting to worry as Sylvester had kept his eyes shut. Her worry turned into a different kind of fear as he started chuckling darkly.

"You really should watch who you're picking pillow fights with." Before he leaped gently at her, causing them both to softly fall to the floor with a slight thud. After a few minutes of hitting each other with pillows they began to lose stamina and lay on the floor.

"That was fun." Kelso giggled out. "Usually when i hit Tyrell with a pillow he just gives me a stern look." The two of them nodded in understanding before something came over Sylvester, it felt like a cold shiver. The feeling made him leap to his feet and look around. "Sylvester?"

Kelso slowly got to her feet, not wanting to startle the man in front of her. "What's wrong Sylvester? Did you hear something?" The lack of responses were more concerning then the sudden actions. The feeling was starting to creep into Kelso's system as well as her gaze enver left Sylvester.

"They're gone."

"Whose gone?" The only answer was something that Kelso didn't want to accept. She could hear Hazel downstairs whilst she didn't really care about many others in the world who would cause such a reaction from Sylvester. "You don't mean-"

Before Kelso could finish her sentence Sylvester was out of the bedroom door and had darted down the stairs and out the house. The loud noises caused Ebony to whine and bark . It was an extremely frightening moment for Kelso as she saw the look of pure desperation and fear on Sylvester's face, much liek the first time that Laylian had been taken.

"Dear? What's going on?" Hazel asked from the living room doorway. She held Ebony in her thin arms ass he stared at her granddaughter with a stern and concerned expression. "He's going as fast as a cheetah . what happened?"

Kelso was torn between chasing after Sylvester and stopping to comfort her nanna. "I- uh there's no time to explain. Phone Dawn! We'll be back soon." Kelso ran out of the door as soon as she managed to put some shoes on.

By the time she had exited the door she only just managed to catch Sylvester rounding the corner to the street. The distance between them had stayed the same front he moment that she left the house to the moment Sylvester reached his. The fae are naturally quick creatures but Sylvester was a very experienced runner and so it was difficult for Kelso to keep up.

He had left the front door open but that was the least of his worries as he scaled the stairs three at a time and burst into his room. He saw his uniform neatly folded next to some fo Tyrell's gear, it all looked normal except for the bottle of water which was spilt on the floor, there didn't seem to be much in it to begin with but as it lay on it's side, it was out of the ordinary.

Kelso wasn't too far behind as she shut the door behind her and followed Sylvester up the stairs. She saw him in his own room but after a quick glance around there was no sign of her brother or Laylian. She couldn't hear any indication that they were in the house at all. In a panic she went into Laylian's room.

"Sylvester! She shouted loud enough for him to hear if he were a normal human. He was there in nearly a flash. Where Laylian's wardrobe used to be, there was nothing more than a pile of wood and clothing. It seemed like a small bomb had exploded inside the wardrobe which left everything else intact other then the structural integrity of the furniture. "What on earth happened here?"
