I got shit loads of e-mail, and look... It's actually here... somewhat early too! Remember the next one can be sent out just as fast, as long as you people e-mail me. Now for the very boring ritual legal stuff.
*** I have never met `N Sync before. That means I'm not aware of any of them being a little fruity. Or having special powers.***
JC was lying alone in his bed at the safe house. The sun had just started to rise, and he was tired, but rolled out of bed, and got dressed. The battle the night before wore thin on all the guys. Even though they toyed with them, it still took a lot out of their powers, and a good nights sleep was all that they needed. Markus had agreed that he would be good while all the others slept, and just for his sake they sealed off all the windows so hardly an light would get though. Well all except JC's window because he was the one that couldn't have his window closed off.
He walked around and made sure all the guys were alright. Lance was the first one he checked on and there he was sleeping peacefully on his side. Next, he went to Joey's room where Joey was sound asleep, with the gauntlet of the guy that he had torn it off of, wrapped under his arm. JC started to open the door to Chris' room, but the sound of Chris snoring made it clear that Chris was ok. The last one he checked in on was Justin. He saw Justin curled up to something but wasn't sure what. So he quietly walked over to see the small figure of Markus with a teddy bear on his side of the bed. JC brushed the hair on Markus' head and walked out into the kitchen.
The sun had just started to creep over the horizon; he took a sip of some coffee and walked out to the porch. There were a few scattered houses in the distance the closest one was James and Grandma Bea's house, which was pretty far away. Luckily they weren't home when the fight started last night, they had gone to the movies. When the sun finally came up all the way over the horizon all the way, JC could see the town of Hudson about 15 miles away. It was small and he could see the whole town. He went and sat down in a lawn chair, and just looked over the flat land.
"Some day Lance, this is going to be where we stay. Away from everything, just you and me." JC said as he sat back in the chair and let the cool breeze blow over his body.
Suddenly, a scream came from inside the house, it was too deep to be anyone else but Lance. JC flew into the house and into Lance's room. He saw Lance on the bed shaking, JC turned on the light and walked over to him. He sat on the bed next to Lance and touched his shoulder. Lance jumped at the touch of JC, but then gave him a hug. JC felt Lance's body shake as he held him close.
"What happened?" JC asked as he rubbed the top of Lance's head.
"I was in this lair, and there were all these Vampires around, so many, and they had you and Justin chained up, and were feeding on you... And I couldn't stop them." Lance said as he started to cry louder.
"Shh it's ok babe, it was just a dream. Me and Justin are fine. There is nothing that is going to hurt us, and I would never let anything hurt you."
Lance began to cry harder till it turned into a laugh.
"I can't take it anymore, your so pitiful." Lance said as he pulled away and had a Vampire face, and yellow eyes.
"AHHHHH!" JC jumped up out of his bed and looked around the room.
"JC what is it!" Lance said as he came charging into the room.
"AHHHH!" JC screamed again when he saw Lance.
"AHH!" Lance jumped at JC's screams.
"Oh Jesus Lance, don't do that to me."
"Don't do that to you. I was sitting in bed, all the sudden I hear you scream, I come in here to see what's wrong and you scream at me!?"
"Yeah, that was pretty good huh?" JC said with a laugh, holding in all the fear that had just woke him.
"Yeah!" Lance said with a sarcastic smile.
Chris came into the room and said,
"Nightmare? Good... good night." Then walked out of the room and back into his.
"Well good lookin you tired?" JC said as he yawned.
"Yeah." Lance said as he yawned too.
JC got back in the bed and Lance started to leave.
"Where you going?" JC asked with a frown.
"To bed why?" Lance said as he turned around.
JC patted the other side of the bed. Lance smiled and went and laid next to him. They curled up next to each other, and then fell asleep.
"Ok, I'm going to tell you this one more time," Justin said with a frown. "Freddie, and Jason don't exist."
"But what if they don't want you to know they exist? What if they come and get you when you're asleep?" Markus asked as he sat on Justin's bed next to him.
"Monster's don't exist." Justin said as he ran his fingers through his hair.
"I exist." Markus said as he looked up at Justin with his big brown eyes.
"Yeah but your not a monster."
"Ya huh. I saw it on TV."
"Oh God that's TV. Just go to sleep PLEASE! I BEG OF YOU!" Justin said as he started to tickle Markus.
Markus began to wiggle and laugh hysterically. Justin then stopped and said,
"Good night Demon boy."
"Night." He jumped off the bed and ran to the front room, and sat down in front of the TV.
Justin laid down and started to go to sleep, when he felt something grab hold of his feet. He jumped out of his bed and looked around after he turned on his light.
"Who's there?" Justin asked as he reached for his book. He began to search his room, looking over everything. "I know you're in here." Justin said getting a little scared. He felt something cover his eyes and he jumped out of the way. He could hear Chris' laugh echo through the room.
"Chris you asshole." Justin said as he saw Chris appear.
"Oh come on you know it was a good joke."
"Yeah it was, just as much as this is!" Lighting began to fill his hand.
"Hey I didn't hurt you."
"This won't hurt. Trust me."
"Just knock it off."
"You're no fun." Justin said, the lightning dissipated from his hands.
"K, I'm going back to sleep." Chris walked out of the room.
Justin turned off the light and laid back down on his bed. In the window, a pair of red eyes appeared, then in a blur they were gone.
The girl began to walk around the house when she heard footsteps behind her.
"Oh shit." She said as she ran into the closet she was next to.
She saw the man from the store walk passed the closet and up the stairs. She stayed there for a couple more seconds before she ran out of the closet and out the front door. She ran as fast as she could down the road, trying to get away from the house. Clarence looked out the window and saw her running down the street.
"XHANG! THE GIRL IS GONE!" He opened the door to see Nick getting dressed and Xhang was nowhere to be found.
"Come on youngen!" Clarence said as he pulled him out of the room.
They got out into the street and saw the girl just a little ways down, then all of a sudden she disappeared.
"Where'd she go?" Nick asked as he stopped and looked around.
Her head suddenly fell from the sky and Clarence got it by the hair.
"Couldn't have done it better myself." He said with a smile as something landed behind him.
It was tall and had the figure of a human, but it was different. It was covered in hair and it's fangs where longer then normal, and had wings like a bat. Then it started to change, and when it was done, Xhang stood there, naked in the road.
"See Nick what you will be able to do, with a little help." Xhang said as he took Nick by the hand.
Justin awoke with a jump, he heard a howl come from outside. He got up and ran to the window to try and see what it was. He stuck his head out the window and looked out but couldn't see that far, cause of the trees blocking his way. He thought for a moment and said,
"Dark of night and light of day, help me see and clear the way."
The trees became transparent and he saw passed the trees to a hill in the distance. He saw a shadowy form with glowing red eyes. As quick as he saw them, they disappeared. He was a little scared but was too tired to let it get to him. He climbed back in bed and drifted off back to sleep. Once he was asleep, there were red eyes glowing outside of his window in the tree. They watched him for over an hour until they finally disappeared.
Joey lay in his bed sleeping soundly. He felt a sudden warmth come over him and he smiled.
"Joey!" A voice said.
"Who's there?" Joey asked in fear.
"Do not be afraid."
"Maggie?"
"I'll be watching over you Joey. Always! You helped set me free, I love you! Now it is time for you to be free! You mustn't let my death haunt you and keep you from living! Do you understand?" Maggie's voice said.
"Yes, but where are you?"
"I am in your heart. That is where I will always be."
"Why? Why did you leave me?"
"It was easier that way. You know we could've never been had I stayed. But I am free now Joey! Free! I was saved by you! The vampire gods have allowed me to pass on into an afterlife of bliss!"
"Aren't they evil?"
"Not all. As on earth there is a balance between good and evil. That is how it has always been and always will be. You must remember that!" She said as her voice started to fade.
"Maggie? Wait!"
"Good bye Joey! I will always be watching you!"
"Don't leave me! I love you!"
"I love you." She said as her voice faded out.
"Don't leave me!"
"No, don't leave me!" Joey said as he woke up with a start.
He sat up and did something that he hadn't done in a long time, cried. He finally let his emotions come out. All of the anger, fear and loneliness he had felt for the past months not knowing why, were brought back along with their memories. He let himself cry knowing that would be the only way to get over the loss of Maggie. After an hour of crying, he fell asleep and didn't wake up until morning.
JC was peacefully sleeping in his bed. He could feel the heat from the sun on his body, and could see, but he wasn't awake. He could tell his eyes were shut, when suddenly everything went black as if he were asleep. This only happened once throughout the night and JC didn't know how he did it. Theories started to run through his head while he was asleep, which turned into Dreams. In the middle of one of the best ones with him and Lance, he was awoken by a huge thump on the bed. His eyes shot open and covered in sunlight was Markus. JC quickly threw the blanket over Markus and ran out into the hall where the sunlight couldn't get to him. He threw the covers off of him as fast as he could, and when he got to his face he saw a huge smile on Markus's face.
"Hi!" Markus said as he pulled out his hand to wave.
"Hi." JC said as with a frown on his face.
"You like it? James bought it for me. He said that it was really expesive and that if I lose it RCA is going to shot me. What ever that means." Markus said as he showed JC the amulet he was wearing around his neck.
"You're damn right they'll shoot you! It was three in a half million dollars!" James said from down the hall.
JC looked up at him, then back down at Markus and asked,
"Why didn't you burn up?"
"Oh that's the cool thingy! Watch this!" Markus walked over to the hall where the light from JC's room was coming in. "I'm in the light, I'm outta the light. I'm in the middle of the light." Markus said jumping in and out of the light from JC's room.
JC gave James a shocked look, and James then pointed with his thumb to Markus and said,
"Oh, that amulet I gave him is the Amulel of Acaron. Only a Vampire pure of heart can wear it. And Markus hasn't killed anyone and he is a Child so... He counts."
"And guess what!" Markus said as he ran around to JC who was still kneeling.
"Wha.. What?" JC said as he shook his head.
"James is taking me to the party they're having in town."
JC quickly looked up.
"I don't know.. What if you get mad, and you change?"
"Oh he won't," James said with a smile. "He can't change with the amulet on. Some weird thing, he'll be just like a normal boy, only pale."
Markus stuck his tongue out at James, then walked back into the light and looked around it.
"Oh shit!" Joey cried as he ran out of his room and snatched Markus out of the light.
Markus was laughing hysterically, Joey stopped and looked at him, still laughing.
"Is there something I missed here?" Joey asked still holding Markus.
"Yeah James here is the all around finder. He found that thing on Markus' neck so he could go into the light.."
"And," James said interrupting, "I got rid of his fever."
JC looked at James with a skeptical look and felt Markus' head, sure enough the fever was gone.
"How'd you..." JC said as he felt Markus' head again.
"I gave him some of this," James said as he held up a small bottle filled with some foggy clear stuff. "It's plasma from a human body. It was expensive, but he only needs to take one shot every three months so it will last."
"So can I?" Markus asked pulling JC's face towards him.
"Can you what?"
"Can I go to the party? Please!! James says there will be food and all kinds of stuff. Candy, and animals, and. and food. He says they have a BQ. He says the food is really good, and he said I will get a tan."
Joey laughed at the last comment.
"Well... I don't know." JC said as he looked down at the floor as if he was thinking.
"Pleaseeeeee??!!?" Markus said as he jumped up and down.
"Well alright, but we're all coming, cause we need to relax a little bit. So when does all thi.... Yeah I love you too Markus." Markus had wrapped his arms around JC and gave him a huge bear hug. "Ok you can let go now... Mark I can't breath... hello?" He finally let go of JC and ran to his room and started to grab things. "So when does this thing start?"
"In about two hours. So you better get everyone else up, cause it's going to be good old fashion fun. In other words you guys better find something fun to talk about." James said as he waved and walked out the front door.
"Well who wants to wake Justin up?" Joey asked as he looked at JC.
"You do."
"Like hell I do." Joey said with an insulted tone.
JC held out his hand and put his fist on it.
"Oh come'on you always beat me at this."
"Nope let's do it."
They started to beat their fist to their palm.
"God Damn it!" Joey said in a whisper.
"Sorry Paper beats...."
"Rock I know I know." Joey said as he opened the door to Justin's room.
JC smiled and walked back to his room where he saw Lance sleeping peacefully.
"Hey Lance, come on babe wake up. We have stuff to do today." JC said as he lightly nudged Lance, who groaned and pulled the covers up over his head.
"You have 3 seconds to get out of bed before I pull you out of it."
"You wouldn't." Lance said from under the covers still trying to sleep.
"3"
"Go away JC."
"2"
"Don't you have anyone else to pick on today?"
"1"
"Aright I'm up!" Lance said as he threw the covers off of his body. "Geez you can be an ass sometimes."
"Ahh you love me." JC said as he started to walk out of the room.
"That's beside the point."
"Ok Justin, you can put me down now." Joey said as he was floating down the hall. JC looked at him weird as he past by him. "A little help here?" Joey commented as he moved past the door.
Then he looked down the hall to see Justin in a wife beater and a pair of boxers with a death stare on Joey.
"Justin put him down. He was only doing what I told him." JC said as he walked out in front of Justin.
There was a loud bang on the floor and then an "Owww."
"You told him to wake me up?"
"Yeah, I told him to wake you up." JC started to walk away when he felt a pull on his body.
"Oh no you don't!" Lance's voice said as JC fell to the ground and Lance and Justin where pushing each other back and forth.
Just as they pulled apart Markus ran in between them and into the kitchen that was flooded with light, opened up the fridge, pulled out a soda, and ran back to his room. The whole time JC, Joey, Justin, and Lance watched with shock. Justin and Lance looked at JC and Joey, and at the same time they said,
"Don't ask." and walked into the front room.
Justin and Lance looked at each other then back into Markus' room, then back at each other. They shook their heads and walked into the front room.
"So why did you feel the need to wake me up so early?" Justin asked as he went and jumped into JC's lap and flung his arm around his neck.
"We have to go into town to a party tonight." JC said as he put his hand on Justin's butt and picked him up one handed with no strain, and put him on the couch.
"Party?" Justin said not even shocked the JC did it.
"Yep."
"And there's going to be food and candy, and animals!" They heard a small voice come from the hall.
After a couple of seconds they heard a door open and Chris came out with his hair all messed up and still in his cloths. He didn't even greet or say hi to the guys, he just went to the kitchen and grabbed a coke just like Markus did only slower and walked and turned on the TV.
Lance was out on the porch and looked at the town of Hudson only a few miles away. JC got up and walked out and sat next to him.
"So what's up?" JC asked as he put his elbows on the table Lance was sitting at.
"Just listening to how quiet it is. Almost not real." He said as he smiled at JC.
"Watcha reading?" JC asked as he looked at the book that Lance had in his hand.
"It was in your room, so I just picked it up."
JC looked at the cover and it said "King's man and Thief."
"That was in my room?"
"Yep, it's pretty interesting. So far, I'm only on page two." Lance said as his lips made a weird O look when he said two.
"You're so cute. You know that?"
"Me nah, I just wear a mask most of the time."
"Well, I wouldn't care if you were a fat bald man, I would still love you."
"Then why don't you tell me what your dream was about." Lance said as he put down the book.
"Um...." JC said trying to think of how to put it.
"And don't lie. I know when you're lying JC."
JC sat in silence.
"You're not going to tell me are you?" Lance asked in a calm tone.
"You are so gorgeous." JC said as he tried to kiss Lance who pulled away and said.
"You are so full of it. You're not going to tell me are you?"
"No." JC said as he pulled back and looked at Lance with hurt eyes.
"Why?" Lance asked as he raised his voice.
JC didn't respond.
"Alright fine!" He said as he stormed into the house.
The guys watched as Lance walked down the hall and into the bathroom. "I get to shower first." He said as he slammed the door.
Justin looked out to the backyard and saw JC still sitting there with a shocked look on his face, and hurt in his eyes. Justin couldn't pick up on what JC was thinking or feeling. He had started to notice that, whenever one of the guys felt an extreme emotion, everyone felt it, and the look on JC's face showed it. Justin got up and walked out to him.
They sat there and looked at the morning sun holding a conversation in their heads so no one could see or hear.
"I think some more of my powers are starting to come forth. Powers that the rest of you have don't have. Powers that I don't know what to do with."
Justin didn't say anything back. He thought for a second that JC was starting to lose his mind. He had been under a lot of stress and it could have been showing. An hour passed by and Joey came out and said.
"If you guys want to shower, it's open." He said with an almost plea in his voice to know what was going on.
"Ok." Was all Justin and JC responded with.
Justin looked at JC and smiled, which in return made JC smile back. It was hard for JC not to smile when Justin smiled. The true smiles anyway. Justin went into the house. JC stayed out and waited for someone to tell him that the shower was open. When Lance came out and told him, he closed his eyes, and pulled Lance down into the seat.
"Look Josh, I don't want to fight. Just go..." Lance said but JC quickly covered his mouth.
"About my dreams." JC said as he took his hand away from Lance's mouth. "They don't matter they're just dreams, and I don't want to fight anymore. For the passed few days that's all we have done."
Lance looked into JC's eyes and tried to see into JC's soul. But JC wouldn't let him. He didn't make eye contact, all he did was hold Lance's hand.
"And, I want today, to be... fun, for both of us, and I know that you don't want me spending all my time with Markus, but he is just a little boy." Finally JC looked up at Lance, and almost melted when he saw those green eyes and a slight smile on his face. He lightly leaned in and gave him a small kiss on the lips.
"Showers open!" Markus yelled as he ran out in his underwear. "JC showers open!" He said again.
"I heard you the first time." JC said as he stood up and walked into the house and just before entering smiled at Lance.
Lance chuckled, leaned back and grabbed the book that was on the table.
"Night is the thief's friend. It enfolds.. FUCK YOU!! Him in a Blanket of anonymity.. FUCK YOU!!"
Lance slammed the book down and looked at Snap who was walking across the field with his boom box blaring noise.
"Oh hey, it's the little blond queer boy." Snap said as he turned off the box and set it on the table.
"Excuse me? Did I give you permission to speak?" Lance said with a snobby voice.
Snap shot his eyebrows up, and made small smile with his mouth. "SO the little faggot has a mouth on him."
"OH is that your small attempt at being a man?" Lance said as he pointed to Snaps dick.
"Shit, bitch my dick is bigger then yours!" Snap said as he grabbed it.
"So that's why that sock is hanging out of there?" Lance said.
Snap looked down and sure enough his fly was down and there was a sock hanging out, one that he used to make him look big.
"Don't worry, it'll be everyone's LITTLE secret." Lance said as he leaned forward and smiled evilly.
Snap huffed, picked up his boom box and went back to his house. Lance smiled and went back to reading the book. About thirty minutes later James walked up and sat next to him. He was so into the book that he didn't notice James and just continued to read. James smiled a little then taped Lance on the shoulder, which caused Lance to jump up and pick James up by his shirt. James' eyes flew open as he felt his feet being lifted off the ground.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. Please don't kill me." James said acting dumb
"Oh God, don't do that to me." Lance said as he put James down.
"Do what?" Justin asked as he came out from behind the house causing both James and Lance to jump.
"Damn it Justin!" Lance said as he grabbed his chest.
"What? What did I do?" Justin asked confusedly.
Lance and James didn't say anything they just went to go get the others. In less than 6 minutes they were on their way into down the town of Hudson, Colorado. The ride was quiet. Snap didn't go, he was going to and started in on all the others early, but Lance just gave him a look and he decided he would stay home. So that made the ride a lot more enjoyable. It was just James, Grandma Bea, Markus, and the guys.
When they got into town the guys and Markus looked out of window. Hundreds of people lined the street, little kids with bags, and old people with lawn chairs, Ford pickups, with cowboys sitting on them, people laughing, and chatting. James parked the van and then opened up the back doors and he and Bea sat there. Justin, Joey, Lance, and JC were standing next to the van. Markus was moving around in the sun with his hands out like he was in the rain, and he had a huge smile on his face. A group of girls walked by and looked at JC, Lance, and Justin and smiled really seductively. Lance and JC simply smiled and nodded at them, but Justin.. well Justin smiled back just as seductively, if not more to them. When they passed JC pushed Justin, causing him to take a side step.
"What'cha do that for?" Justin asked as he stepped back to where he was.
"Cause you are going to get your ass in deep shit if you ain't careful." JC said with a smile.
"Why do you say that?"
"Cause they don't know who we are."
"How can they not know who we are?" Justin said.
"Cause you're in the middle of nowhere." Lance responded for him.
Justin simply shrugged and waited for whatever was going to happen. They sat there for about ten minutes before James said something.
"Rob!? Rob is that you!?" James said as he stepped out to the street to greet someone.
"James! What's up Bro."
The guys watched as James ran out to this guy. He was about 6ft tall, he had very broad shoulders, which looked like the result from some kind of work out, he also quite handsome. They hugged then James pulled him over to the van.
"Rob these are my friends. That's JC, Justin..."
"Lance, Joey and Chris. I know who they are." Rob said with a slight smile.
"Oh yeah I forgot you're just Mr. Smart ass." James said with a laugh.
"Whatever."
"So what are you doing here?" James asked.
"Oh I'm on crowd control. You guys wanna help?" Rob said as he looked at the five.
"What do we have to do?" Joey asked.
"Very simple go around and shoot people with water guns."
"We're in!" Chris and Justin said at the same time.
"I'm game." Lance said with a smile.
"Hell yeah, I'll do it." Joey said with a huge smile.
"I'm in." JC said.
"Ok good, you need to go over there and pick up the shirts and water guns. There are refill stations at every street corner. Then after the parade, you take them back to were you got them." Rob said, then said his good bye's and walked away.
All five of the guys went and grabbed the guns and the shirts and began to patrol the streets. Justin and Chris of course being the ones who shot everybody. No one was safe. As they met up with other people on Crowd Control, they would shoot at each other. Within a thirty-minute time span they had probably used about 20 gallons of water. Whenever they would run out they would sprint over to the next refill station, fill up the gun and start shooting again. In the parade there were a lot of old cars, and horses. Everyone that was riding on them had, candy to throw out to the people in the crowd. Nobody of course got more than Markus.
JC was walking up and down the street just shooting people that looked like they wouldn't mind. All the little kids got it good. Then some older people and at their request others got shot. But as JC was walking next to a fire truck he heard someone yelling for help. He took off running and up the street he could see Lance getting attacked with water from a whole bunch of little kids. JC ran up there and started shooting at the little kids then Justin joined in then, Joey and soon after, Chris.
By the time it was all over, all of the little kids were soaking wet and the guys were cooling off from the hot sun. The parade then ended and everyone gave the shirts and guns back and went off to the BBQ up at the school. Markus was running around playing with all the horses, and other things that were there. James and Justin were talking with Rob, and Joey and Chris had volunteered for the dunk tank. Grandma Bea was at the arts and crafts show, and JC and Lance were eating some lunch. They had a local band there, that wasn't that good, but it was fun to listen to them, and watch the people dance and everything else.
Lance and JC were having a blast. There were lots of things to do, small town things, but there were games, a rodeo, and some great food. There was also plane rides, and Markus was learning stuff about cars. The car show was great too. It was just an all around fun time, which the guys were taking full advantage of. JC and Lance took Markus horseback riding, Justin and Chris decided that the plane ride would be fun to do, and Joey and James went and won god knows how many stuffed animals from the carnival games that they had. After awhile, they all met back at the school and decided to do something else together.
"Well there is a party going on down at the Lounge. But. Um.. what's his name can't come..." Rob said as he tried to think of Markus' name
"Markus." JC said as he looked around for him and saw him charming all of the old ladies.
"Yeah, cause it's a bar. But as long as you don't drink you can go dance and have fun. It lasts for awhile. Oh and the band there is far better then the one here."
The guys agreed and JC went and told Markus where they were going, he couldn't care less because he was having a great time. Grandma Bea said she would watch to make sure he was ok, and that the guys should go have fun. So JC said good bye to Markus.
"You're leaving?" Markus asked with almost a said look on his face.
"Yeah, I have to go make sure the guys are ok. Make sure that if any bad guys come around you kick their butts ok?"
"K!" Markus said as a huge smile grew on his face. Then unexpectedly, Markus wrapped his arms around JC and said, "Love you." JC smiled, and Markus let go of him and kissed him on the cheek and ran off.
JC stayed kneeled on the ground for a little bit and watched as one of the vets that was running the petting zoo picked up a rabbit and handed it to Markus. The joy in his face at that point in time was something JC would never forget. He stood, brushed off his jeans and ran to the van where Lance and the rest were waiting for him.
"WHERE IS THE CHILD!" Xhang yelled as he held the 230lbs Vampire above his head.
"I don't know I swear. A slayer came and took him that's all I know, I swear!"
"AHHHHHHHH!" Xhang yelled as he threw the man across the room and landed on a piece of metal about 90 feet away, which went clear through his leg.
Clarence and Nick were looking at all the scared faces. Clarence looked over and saw three small heads peeking over the couch, looking at him with fear.
"BOO!" Clarence yelled as the heads of the three quickly dropped and Clarence began to laugh.
"Knock it off, they're only kids." Nick said, looking ashamed.
"Oh cheer up cowboy. It's all in good fun."
Xhang looked over at the couch, and slowly began to walk towards it. As he was walking the kids slowly peeked their heads over the top of the couch again. When they saw Xhang coming they all started to back off. One of the little girls held on tightly to her teddy bear and the two other kids took off running. Xhang looked at them run and moved his head as quickly and snarled as he did so. He looked back down at the shaking blonde little girl. He glared at her and his eye turned a green hue, and he started walking for her.
"Now tell me little one. Where did JC take Markus?" She started to crawl across the floor to try and get away from him. "You know don't you? You're his sister. his twin sister, he told you mentally didn't he?"
Her hands began to shake; she got up and started to run. Xhang watched her get up and then in a blur, he was gone. As she was running into the next room she ran into him. She fell to the ground and looked up at him with fear in her tear filled eyes. He bared his fangs, put his hands on the side of her head and picked her up. A blue mist then went around her head and into her eyes.
"AHHHHH!" She screamed, as the mist began to come out from her mouth and went into Xhang's.
Her eyes began to roll back into her head and her skin began to turn darker as her body began to shrivel up. He let her drop to the ground when she was nothing but a skeleton. Xhang still had his mouth open and had a look of pleasure on his face. He looked down at the small mangled body, then walked into the other room.
"Nick?" Xhang called for him.
"Yes?" Nick said as he walked out slowly as Xhang walked over to him, picked up Nick's chin and placed a kiss on his lips.
"Do you know where a town called Hudson is?"
"Yes.. do you wish me to take you there?"
"Yes, and not far from there is a temple, we need that too. Looks like our friend may have done his job after all."
Clarence was standing around, he put his arm up along the side a pretty vampiress, and was playing with her hair.
"So what's your name pretty thing?" The girl turned away in disgust. "Look you little bitch when I ask you something you respond! Now what's your name?"
"Ju.. Julie." She said as she stuttered.
"Well Julie, I would really like to get to know you better... If you know what I me..." Clarence couldn't finish before Nick pulled him away.
"Xhang wait!!!" Nick yelled as he ran after him.
"What?" Xhang said as nicely as possible.
"Don't you think we should wait until tomorrow to go after them?"
Xhang turned around in almost anger, then looked at the fear in Nick's eyes.
"You're right, it would be foolish of us to go after them now."
"What do you mean us?" Clarence said, his thick accent coming through. "I was only supposed to help you find them, you never told me about killing them. Nope NO way. That little girl kicked the shit out of me, and if they have more power than she does the...." Xhang waved his hand in the air and Clarence was picked up. "Well now that you put it that way."
Lance, JC, Rob and James sat in one of the corner booths of the lounge. It was filled with Cowboys, old women, and not that bad of a country band. Lance was more interested in the band more than anything else. JC was making sure Justin wasn't getting into trouble, seeing as when he gets hyper he has a way of pissing people off. As for James and Rob, they were kind of off in their own little discussion.
Joey was talking to some guy, and if Chris didn't know any better he would say he was flirting. As for Chris, he was actually having a good time. Some young ladies were talking to him. They were actually asking about his hair. Which he always loved. It was kind of weird hardly anybody not knowing them, and then when they saw them the didn't freak out... "Weird people." Chris thought to himself.
JC leaned over to Lance and said.
"Do you want to get out of here?"
"And go where?" Lance said as he leaned forward with a smile.
"Well, lets see." JC picked up the local newspaper and started to look at it. "Oh there is a singing contest over at the Ground Hog inn."
"Oh like that's going to be fun."
"Hey it could be. We could get up there and do some country, or something."
"What just you and me?"
"Yeah why not, they all look like they're having a good time." Lance gave JC a smile. "Good! Now let's go!" JC said as he pulled Lance out of the booth, when he dropped the paper, on the list of things to do, there was no Ground Hog inn, or singing contest.
They began to walk down the street, talking along the way.
"You know Markus is going to be dead tired tonight!" JC said as he put his hands in his jean pocket.
"Yeah probably, but that's ok, he deserved to have a good time. So where are we going?" Lance responded with a smile.
"Oh I don't know, maybe down the street, to the park I saw, or maybe we could go back up to the school and see what's going on."
"Or we could get out of the rain." Lance said as it suddenly started to pour down.
They made a run for the store that had an awning, which covered about half the sidewalk. When they got under, they were dripping wet and were laughing. JC looked at Lance and smiled. Lance's hair was smashed down and his shirt was clinging to his body.
"What?" Lance asked as looked at the smile on JC's face.
JC didn't answer; he just moved his hand down the side of Lance's face. Lance slightly moved his head into JC's hand and closed his eyes. JC lightly pushed his lips up to Lance's and gave him a slow, loving kiss, not caring who saw them. He pulled away and Lance looked at him.
"Why'd you stop?"
"Cause," JC said, "I can hear a car coming."
"I can't hear any car." Lance said with a small frown.
"It's a little ways down. It needs s new muffler." JC said as he leaned up against the wall.
"Oh yeah, how can you hear it if I can't?" Lance said as he stepped in front of JC.
"I don't know maybe I'm just good." JC said with a smile.
"Oh you're good, but I'm better."
"Oh yeah?" JC said bouncing off the wall.
"Yeah... And I can prove it."
"How?"
"Well... We could race." Lance said with a smile.
"Race?" JC said as he lowered his head with a curious look.
"Yeah a foot race."
"Lance, you must be insane."
"Why? Are you scared I'm going to beat..." Lance looked around to see if anyone was looking. "The Chosen one?"
"Oh, it's on now little boy. You know what? I will even give you a head start!" JC said as he crossed his arms.
"Oh no I don't think I'm GOING TO LET YOU!" Lance said as he took off running.
"Oh you little!" JC said as he took off after him.
They ran down the street at almost super human speed but still not over doing it. JC was coming up fast on Lance, but he kept speeding up so JC couldn't over take him. The rain had died down a bit, and the sun had finally set. JC and Lance made their way to the park and hydroplaned to the swings. They laughed as they got up and looked around. They could see some teenagers looking at them, which made them laugh even more.
"So what do we do now?" Lance said a little out of breath
"Don't know, we could go talk to those kids to see if the know who we are." JC said with a smile.
"I think they already know." Lance said as he saw one of the girls walking towards them.
"Hey aren't you guys like Famous or something?" She said with a smile
"Nope sorry." Lance said really quickly.
"Oh, cause that guy over there in the trench coat said you were."
JC and Lance looked over and saw the man that attacked them at the house with yellow glowing in his eyes.
