Fantasy They don't know us

James POV
I look at him with my brow lifted. «I’m usually not like that. I guess you’re special.» I said unfazed and shrugs as i look out the window. «She don’t leave home often. But she is kind.» I said with a smile on my lips

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
I nod. Special..? Why should I I be special, there’s nothing about me that makes people to be kind to me. “When are we there?” I ask tired

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
« In about five minutes.» I replied as i started recognizing the surroundings. Once again the conversation died and the backseat got quiet.

« In about five minutes.» I replied as i started recognizing the surroundings. Once again the conversation died and the backseat got quiet.

After good enough 4 minutes we arrived. “I’ll be quick inside, please wait here.” I said out loud, both to Ethan and the driver. I exited the car and ran over to my house. I walked up the stairs and towards our entrance door. It was over 1AM in the night and they were all probably sleeping.

I walked inside and walked around quietly. I quickly looked inside first my parents room, then my sisters. They were all sound asleep making me breath out in relief. I was about to leave the house when i noticed a white note on the kitchen bench. I walk over and pick it up, quickly reading the intel.

My eyes widen and I put the note in my back-pocket as i once more leave the house. I hurry back to the cab and get inside it again. “please go to..” I look over to Ethan, who tells the adress. The driver starts driving and i pull out the note. “Read this.” I said and gave it to Ethan.

The note said:
Dear James
Congratulations on surviving our meet. You are more than qualified.
As promised your family won’t be killed today.
You’ll hear from us soon.

I looked at him as he read. It wasn’t signed but it wasn’t many people it could be from.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
I look down at the note, qualified for what? I feel my blood boil, this is not okay. I don’t want to be involved in this. I shake my head and let out an annoyed sight, I give the note back to him. I look out the window trying to stay calm, my phone starts to vibrate in my pocket. I take it up and ignore the call, women are useless creatures, they can’t take a get away as a stay away. They have to keep going. I see the cab drive in a street close to my apartment, I look at James “are you gonna stay in the cab?” I ask inpatient.

 

[sirita_3]

James POV

I look surprised at him being so impatient. “Calm down I’m coming all right.” I paid the driver and exited the cab. I looked at my surroundings. There were a lot of people, which wasn’t really that surprising since we were in one of the most central spots of New York.

The cab drived away and I walked up to Ethan with my hands shoved down in my pockets.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
I walk fast toward the apartment, James behind me. I put my hand down in my pocket and drag out a metal key, I stop before my door and look back at James. “I never have people over, so can you stay in the hall?”I say and lock the door open without waiting for a reply. I can’t be that rude and make him wait outside in the rain, so he’s allowed in the hall, but I don’t want him to go further in. I walk in and look around, there’s a note on the table beside my computer. Everything inside here looks untouched, but one will never know for sure. I open the note and read what’s on it.
Dear Ethan
Congratulations on surviving out meet. You are qualified. We will not revile your identity today. You’ll hear from us soon.
I crush the paper and trow it in the wall, this is not how it is supposed to be. I’m supposed to have a quiet life here, away from all of things like this. I walk out in the hall again, “I got the letter to” I say and walk out. I notice a blue car parked with its lights on in the parking lot. I stare at it, I really can’t deal with this today. “The meeting point, it’s that way isn’t it?” I ask fast and start going in that direction I was pointing, but unfortunately I think she noticed us. “Ethan!” I hear her say as she gets out of her car, I stop for a bit and look at James. “Just go on ahead” I say and look at her, as I do that I feel my stomach turn

 

[sirita_3]

James POV

I followed him into the apartment building and stopped in the hall when he asked me. I stood in the hall and looked around me, studying the walls. This didn’t exactly look like the most luxury place to rent either.

He came out again, only saying he got the letter, then he just walked outside. I lifted my brow after him as I follow him outside. I almost crash into his back as he stood still right outside the door. I was about to comment when I saw him stare at a car.

Before I could ask him, I was interrupted by him asking where we were meeting up, then he started to walk quickly in that direction. “Eth-” “Ethan!” I was interrupted by a woman’s voice, making me turn around to the blue car again, studying her.

It didn’t take me long to figure out she was related to Ethan. She had the same hair colour, a tad darker though, and he probably got his eyes from her too. I look over to Ethan and I can immediately see that he isn’t happy to see her. Our eyes meet making me lift my brow at him. “Just go on ahead.” He tells me and turns to look at her, his face frowning even more.

“What’s going on?” I ask Ethan and walks a bit closer to him in a bit of protective manner. “It’s nothing.” He replied in a clearly annoyed tone. The woman starts walking towards us with a displeased look, making me get even closer to Ethan. “Were you trying to ignore me again?” She says and grabs his arm.

“Don’t touch me!” He shouts and rips his arm out of her grip. I could clearly feel how the air around us got tense and I clenched my fist. “Is this how you’re supposed to treat your mother?” She shouts back at him and looks at me. I was right then, it was his mom.

“Who are you? A friend of his?” She asks annoyed but before I could answer she look back to Ethan. “How can you deal with him?” I didn’t need to be a detective to see that this wasn’t exactly a good relationship. “You are coming with me home.” She states and grabs his arm again and I can see him frown and clench his fist.

“Excuse me Ma’am, but we really need to get going now,” I said and gently removed her arm from Ethan and stand up between them, towering over her. I glare her down as I use my arm to push Ethan to get him to start walking.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
James pushes in me, probably to get me to walk again. She looks at him with a glare then she smiles at him, “excuse me, who do you think you are? This is a family matter” she says and look at me clearly annoyed because a stranger to her decided to come between us. “You just want me me home so you can harass me” I say with a low voice. She frown her brows and slip past James, she then proceeded to slap me in the face. “You know what, that is to expect when you killed my one love! You are all I have left from him and you are gonna come home and sit in your room until I say you can do something else!” She shouts out angry. I lay my hand on my cheek, why don’t I just kill her to? So she can be with her ‘love’. She’s nothing but a pain in my neck anyway..

 

[sirita_3]

James POV

She slips past me only to slap Ethan in the face. I don’t even think over what she’s saying as I feel my anger rise as I grab her hand and drag her towards me, making her fall to the ground. “Excuse me but it seems like he CLEARLY don’t want to see you.” I snap and felt the smoke start to rise from my hair and hands.

“Get the fuck away from here.” I sneer and grab Ethan’s hand and starts to run away, trying to calm myself down.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
She looks surprised at him as he grabs my hand and starts to run away from where she was. We run for a little while until I stop, I look at him with a confused look. “Why did you do that?” I ask low, why did he help me? Would’t people normally not do anything?

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
I don't answer him as I try to catch my breath. I lean against the wall of the building and growl loudly clenching my head. The smoke continues to emit from my body and I clench my teeth, trying my best to calm down.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
As he growl loudly I can see smoke coming out from him, I lay my hand on his shilder. “Umm, are you okay?” I ask a bit worried

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
" I'm-" I take deep breaths and breathes out, feeling a calm wash over me as his hand touches my shoulder. The smoke dies down and I shake my head, straightening up. "Yeah sorry, I just..." I look over at him. " Anyway, are you okay?" I ask, referring to his meeting with his mom just a few seconds ago.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
“Anyway, are you okay?” He asked me, I frown my eyebrows and look down at the ground for a bit. I don’t want to worry him, there’s no need for him to know. I look up at him with a fake smile “yes, I’m fine. It’s always like that... no need to worry” I say and take my hood that fell off on again. I’m not used to talk to people like this, they never really care, but I’m pretty sure they would all judge if I told them about this.

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
«Hey» I gently place my hand on his cheek, making his eyes meet mine. «You don’t need to lie to me.» I whisper carefully to make him relax. Now that i cooled down i though back on what his mom said. He killed someone? It didn’t really faze me that much, I’m sure it was self defence. I also wanted to hear his side before jumping to conclusions

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
“Hey” he says and put his hand on my cheek, I look into his eyes, “You don’t need to lie to me” he whispers. I feel my hidden feelings coming up inside me, I look down at the ground. My eyebrows frown and I close my eyes. “My father tried to drown me when I was four years old..” I say low and open my eyes to look at his reaction, “It lead to me finding my powers and killing him” I say a bit higher.

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
My eyes soften and I pull him into a hug. "It's not your fault. It was self defence." I mumbled and held him close.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
He pulls me into a hug, “it’s not your fault, it was self defense”. I feel the tears pressing inside me, no one ever been like this.. why does he do this? It’s doesn’t make sense for me.. The tears start to stream down my cheek and I start to sob.

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
I lean away and put my hand against his cheek again while wiping away the tears with my thumb. "It's okay." I mumbled calming, letting him let his feelings loose.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Ethan)
I close my eyes and feel the warmth of his hand on my cheek, it’s calming and I feel like I can finally relax. I open my eyes again and look into his, I bet my eyes are all red. He seems so calm.

 

[sirita_3]

James POV
Our eyes are locked for more than a few seconds. We both jump when my phone start's calling and I break away from him. I put my hand in my pocket and pull it up, only to see it's Skye. I cough hit the answer button, but before I get to say anything Skye's voice is heard. "You're late." They complained and I nodded, then I remembered they can't see me. "We're on our way, we'll be there in 10 minutes," I replied and they only huffed and ended the call.
"Are you okay to go?" I ask Ethan, which he nods in reply. We start walking to central park and in less than 10 minutes we spot Angelica and Skye, Agana and Michael are nowhere to be seen.

Skye's POV
We waited approximately 10 minutes after James and Ethan left. "Be quick," I told Agana and Michael before I exited together with Angelica. "You live close to my bakery right? I've seen you at the cafe close by... Nyx right?" I ask to which she nods. "Then it will take us around 15 minutes to get there. Since we have to go around the river after all." I said with a sigh as we started walking.

After 10 minutes we arrived outside Angelica's home. "Want me to come in with you?" I asked concerned and looked around us.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Angelica)
“Want me to come in with you?” Skye asks, I look at Them with a smile. “Unless you want to, you don’t need to.” I say and open the door. Alex should be asleep right now, and so my dad after all that drinking. I walk into the hall and up the stairs, knocking slightly at the door to Alex’s room. I open the the door and look in, I breath out in relief when I see him sleep in his bed. I walk into the kitchen and find a note together with a letter on the bench, there isn’t any bills for what I can remember, so I guess this is from them... I take the note up and read it ‘Angel! U forgot to take in this letter with all the other bills XD’ I smile a bit, Alex can be so childish sometimes. The smile fades a ay as I take the letter with me out, I don’t bother reading it right now, I’m gonna wait a bit. “Okey, should we go to your place?”

 

[sirita_3]

Skye’s POV

I wait outside as she walks inside, shifting the weight on my left foot to my right as I look around the street uncomfortable. I just couldn’t stop thinking something was wrong. I waited for maybe five minutes when Angelica came outside, a small frown on her face.

“Okay, should we go to your place?” She asked and I furrowed my brow. “Everything okay?” I asked to which she nodded. “Yeah. My brother’s sound asleep and my dad is too. Everything seemed untouched.” She said and smiled again, but it somehow sounded restrained.

“Sure…” I said suspicious but decided not to press her. “Let’s go.” I said and started walking towards the bakery. I walked past it and into the backstreet. I walk over to the door and take out my keys to open the door. “I think it’s best if you come in.” I said and gestured Angelica to go inside. As we get inside we walk up the stairs quietly and I look into the living room to see my mom sleeping. I sighed and brushed away some of her hair, she was sweating a lot. I look over to the table to see she had taken the medicine. “I’ll fill up her water.” I walk into the kitchen with her water glass and noticed the letter on the kitchen counter.

Dear Skye

Congratulations on surviving our meet. You are more than qualified.

As promised your mom to have gotten the medicine she needed.

You’ll hear from us soon.

I looked on the backside and saw that there wasn’t a signature from the sender. I looked over the counter but I didn’t see any medicine. My eyes widened and I put away the glass and hurried into the living room to check if they did anything to mom, when I saw Angelica standing by her, a green light glowing from her hands. “What the fuck are you doing?” I snapped in shock.

 

[Nightmare Black]

(Angelica)
“What the fuck are you doing?” Sky snaps, I look toward her in shock and take away my hands. How in the world am I gonna explain this? It may look like something else, I breath in and look at the woman laying there. “I was trying to heal her” I say low
