Chapter Twenty One
Jonathan
"Fuck! Evan no!" I tried begging Evan not to go crazy. "You can't just-" "Yes I can Jon! And no one is going to stop me from saving my family, again." He huffed. "As in again do you mean?" "You, yes you. And if you're not gonna help me help another part of our family then I'll find some one else to, or I'll go alone." "No! I'll help you Evan, I just didn't think you considered me family-" Evan put his hands on my head and brought me close. So close that I could feel the sweat coming off his forehead. "Ever since I met you, I met your blue gaze, I knew we'd be family." He pushed me away and ran into the dorm. As I stood there breathless.
Evan
I ran into the boys' dorms. "Ey! Do you guys know where my circle is?" I asked all the male fledglings watching either a football game or an Indiana Jones movie. They all shook their heads. "No, High Priest." "Thanks, and just call me Evan." I ran to everyone's dorms and knocked. Before I could knock on Lui and David's door it opened. "We felt it coming, Lui felt Air acting up and I felt Fire, ye gave us a signal." David explained. "What about everyone else? We need them." I asked, panicking. "Brock should've gotten a signal and Jon's always with you, we may have to message Tyler, Craig, Brian and Marcel." "It's on the news. They'll know." Just on cue, running down the hallway was Tyler and Craig. "Where is Brian and Marcel?" Lui asked. "They're on their way, they were out at the newer Game Stop." Craig answered. "Shit! That's close to the old, abandoned one! That's where Nelson and the bad red fledglings hide!" I exclaimed. "We need to hurry the hell up then." Tyler said. "Are you feeling good enough to fight? Both of you?" They both nodded. "Hell yeah." They said together.
Jon was waiting outside. "I just got a text from Brian. They're at the newer Game Stop and they saw Nelson with a black creature thing following him. It looked like a cloud of blackness and it was formed like a cage, carrying a lady." Jon read from his phone. Brock was jogging up the sidewalk just to hear enough of the conversation. "I got a big enough car for all of us. Let's go." We all followed Brock to the parking lot.
A black SUV is what Brock had. Jon and I snuck in the back, which on the back of the driver's and passenger's seats were little T.Vs for movies. Both Jon and I chuckled. As we were chuckling away, Craig and Tyler hopped over the seat in the way back. Lui squeezed back behind them and David of course sat in the middle of Jon and I. "So boys, hows it going?" He said throwing both arms around us. Jon rolled his eyes and I just kinda "Ha" and looked out the window, I was seriously worried about Grandma.
As Brock pulled to the side, Brian and Marcel were jumping up and down and waving. I instantly got out of the car and ran over to them. "What?" I asked. "Shit man, he's got your g-ma in some sort of black, monster, cage thingy. I think she was singing or talking or something, but he's in that "under-construction" Game Stop over there." Marcel explained. "Were there any red fledglings with him?" "No, but that one chick that used to be the leader of the Dark Daughters and Sons was with him." Brian answered. I nearly choked on air. "Agnetha!" I shouted. I started stomping towards the Game Stop. "Get your shit together boys, cuz we're gonna kick some shitty ass, and get Grandma back." They all smirked and cheered, "For Grandma!" And as a big, awkward but amazing family, we walked into Nelson's little "home".
Jonathan
I ran in first. I knew where I was going. I was here before. I ran down into the basement and found the hole. I jumped in and whistled. "Nelson! I wanted to make a little visit." Evan fell out right behind me. Lui behind him, then David, then Tyler, Craig, and Brock, and Brian, bringing up the end was of course Marcel. I walked farther and farther into the hallway. He was probably in the little "kitchen area" we made. I walked into the huge space, which had several mini fridges. I knew what they were filled with. Unfortunately, I filled some of them and drank some of them. Nelson was in the center with Evan's grandma tied onto a plastic chair.
"Ah, but I only needed one sacrifice." Nelson's ugly smile widened. Luke, and a whole bunch of red fledglings came out behind him. "What the hell? There is more?" Marcel stuttered. "How in the hell?" Tyler started. All of the red fledglings got into positions. I glared at Luke, and he glared right back. All of the other fledglings licked their lips and hissed. "Wait! Before we fight, why don't you guys think about taking the Light side? Not Darkness?" Evan stepped up. Nelson let out a cackle as the rest of the red fledglings laughed. "Why not happiness? Not loneliness? How about love? And not hate? Choose Nyx's path and not whatever Nelson's is!" Evan shouted. Luke and a few other red fledglings laughed, but not all. A few other actually listened. "Nyx gives us choices." Evan slyly smiled. "Please." "Hey, and look at me! I chose the path of Nyx. I knew there was good still left in me. And I couldn't have done that without my friends." I smiled and looked at everyone.
"I'd just stop there you little shit!" Nelson yelled and threw a black thread at me. It wrapped around my wrist and started cutting. I let out a little yelp. Immediately Spirit was there to throw it back at him. Nelson glared at Evan. "Attack!" Nelson shouted. I went for Luke, this time I wanted to end him for good. I took my fist and smashed it right into his face. He fell backwards. Blood splattering from my wrist and his mouth. I looked around quick. David was actually helping a few red fledglings beat the shit out of another group of red fledglings. Hell, I'll be a High Priest after all- My thought was interrupted by screams.
I looked down at Luke coughing. A red fledgling girl was right beside him. "Oh my goddess! Are you rejecting the-" "Just get the hell away from me!" Luke snapped. The girl stood up and glared at him. An "oh shit" look came across my face. She kicked him really hard. "Fucking dick." She said to him as he coughed. There was blood everywhere, and I was hopping he was dying. But, in my luck, he stood right back up. He's mark was filled in and had skulls going down each side with a few zig-zags. "Hey bitch, guess who's back?!" He shouted and wrapped his hands around my neck. I saw someone behind him and bam! He was on the floor shaking spasmodically. I looked up to notice the same chick who kicked him before. She helped me up and smiled. "Hey High Priest." She said and bowed. "We'll greet later, I think you need to help your friend over there. I'll go help Brock." She smiled and ran away. So her ability must be electricity, because as soon as she went to Brock, I smelt trees and a lightning storm. Through the chaos I found Evan. He had his hands out pushing a purple wave of something towards Nelson, but that wave was being pushed back to Evan by a black wave. I ran over to them and carefully pushed water in and tried aiming for the black wave. Nelson spoted me and laughed. Someone behind me wrapped their hands around me and threw me to the ground. The water wave I created pushed Nelson's wave farther which threw Evan to the wall. I yelled, and kicked and screamed, as I tried getting out of this asshole's grip. "Now are you all goody goody because you were the first red vampyre?" Luke, great. "Actually yeah, I still am." I smirked and threw a huge ass rain storm at him. He screamed in pain and was pinned against the wall by a root. The root slowly moved up and started choking him. I smiled as Brock walked beside me with Electra chick beside him.
My mind finally clicked as I heard Evan screaming my name. "Jon!" I used my vampyre ability to get to him fast. "Don't let him get back to Grandma." He said weakly. "What about you?" "I'm fine Jon, I promise." He tried but failed to smile.
I smelt fire. Evan and I instantly met eyes. David was extremely pissed and set the whole tunnel on fire. All I heard was people screaming in agony. "Fuck!" Evan said. "Nelson's running." Evan pointed but his hand dropped. "Not on my watch." I ran past kicks, punches, screams, and blood. All I had was Nelson in my view. He was getting really close to Grandma. I had to stop him.
Evan
Jon was running inhumanly fast into the chaos. I heard a scream getting cut off. Just in time Tyler and a fledgling fighting split for me to see Jon getting held down on a table with a knife hugging his neck. He met my gaze just for a second. I used all my strength to stand. I held out my hands. "Spirit, protect everyone." I threw my hands which almost knocked me down. Nelson was pushed away from Jon. He screamed and jumped over Jon. I heard my Grandma praying in her Chukchi language. "No!" I shouted but only came out as a wheeze. Jon was thrown to the wall by another fledgling helping Nelson. Nelson said a little rhyme
Ancient one sleeping, waiting to arise
When earth's power bleeds sacred red
She shall be washed from her entombing bed
Through the hand of the dead she is free
Terrible beauty, monstrous sight
Ruled again they shall be
Men shall kneel to her dark might!
He threw his hands at Grandma and the black threads obeyed. I couldn't see her, but her blood was dripping off the table. I let out a terrible scream as a huge pain went through me. I fell to the ground and I was in a totally different place.
Tyler
I beat the shit out of one of the last bad red fledglings. I noticed Jon sprinting towards something. He stopped beside Evan's lifeless body. "Oh shit." I mumbled to Craig. We all ran over to Jon sobbing heavily beside Evan. When we got there it was fucking terrible. Evan was inhumanly pale and all of his tattoos were gone, all but the blue crescent. Brian fell down beside him. "He's not dead." He said, "he's breathing and extremely cold." Brian's examination was interrupted by rumbling. Nelson was laughing. "Rise! Rise my love!" Nelson said as a beautiful woman came out from the bloody ground. She had extremely long brown hair and dark redish-brown eyes. Her skin was a small glowing light. "Who the hell?" Brian asked. "That's Apate. The daughter of Nyx and Erebus. Unfortunately, she's not good like both of her parents." Craig explained. Apate let out a loud scream as she glared at us and licked her red lips. "She's also the Goddess of deceit, guile, fraud and deception. And she'll kill us for Nelson. He's in control now." Craig said as he got up and started running. "We need to get the hell out of here!" All the good red fledglings came up with us as we ran, and poor Jon was sprinting with a rag doll looking Evan.
We all made it back to the House of Night. We all went to Jon and Evan's room. We ignored all the stares and questions we got. We just seriously needed to sit down to figure out through this fuckerey. All of us looked at each other. The same look and idea on everyone's face, this was just the beginning of the shit pot.
