...I leaped off one building's roof top, landing on another before looking up at the beautiful red sun setting it the distance as a blurred shadowed person caught up behind me "You... are becoming too fast" the person stated, sounding almost out of breath "You're the one who challenged me to a race" I laughed, hearing a small laugh escape the person's lips...
7:59am
(Green's Pov)
I opened my eyes, being met with the sight of the early morning sky and the tips of the tall old trees slowly consuming it. I could hear the darkly peaceful water nearby along with the silent singing of birds flying to escape the forest. I slowly and painfully sat up, no longer laying on the sandy dirt, the back of my shirt slightly drenched from the early morning dew, back pained from also laying on sticks and tiny rocks... the watery edge of the lake to my left... and it's only now I realised where abouts I am. I'm on the other side of the lake. I could easily see the back of the cabin and the watered smoke of the fire pit burn out.
That dream... no, not a dream- memory. That memory felt so happy... a joyful past memory... one that diffidently does not belong to me whatsoever. For starters, my parents would've killed me if I was jumping roof-to-roof around town and secondly, the town me and the others left behind in the human realm... it's incredibly impossible to jump roof-to-roof plus, out of all of us, no one is exactly taller than me or remotely the same height as the guy from the memory... I've never even heard his voice before.
I slowly stood up, brushing off whatever dirt I could off myself- I'm also still in my pyjamas?... how the hell did I even get out here? and I'm bare foot as well. I angrily signed as I slowly started walking along the water's edge, heading back to the cabin.
8:23am
(Angel's Pov)
I slowly made my way down stairs, holding my head which still throbbed with pain after last night "Stupid low-hanging tree branch" I muttered under my breath, first time in my life that I have managed to run into a tree branch- I'm fucking small for christ's sake! And what I saw ...a translucent black figure of a girl a little taller than me standing right in front of me, I could just barely see her right until my candle blew out, leaving me in almost complete darkness... I shivered at the memory of the the figure. She felt so real and familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before- no... it was dark. I scared myself with my stupid fear and earned my own karma from it.
I stepped off the stairs and walked into the living room, seeing the others talking whilst Edd and Tord made breakfast 'But her voice- I've been hearing it too often just in the past day-' I froze mid-thought as I looked around the kitchen and living room "Hey- where's Green?" I questioned, earning a bunch of confused faces. "I though he went out for a walk or something-" "I didn't" Green interrupted Vixen as he walked into the cabin through the back door "I woke up on the other side of the fucking lake" he stated, incredibly pissed off and tired "What do you mean 'woke up on the other side of the lake'?" Holly questioned, immediately flinching a bit as Green glared at her. "Apparently... I sleep walk now and for some fucking reason, I'm remembering someone else's fucking memories" he answered Holly as I raised a brow "Sleep walk? but you've never-" "I know" he coldly interrupted me before walking through the room and upstairs "Where are you going?" Tord called out to Green "Taking a shower since 'sleep walker' me decided to lay down in the fucking mud" Green snapped back before disappearing upstairs. "Angel- you sure he's never sleep-walked before-" "Green's not a liar" I accidentally snapped at Faith "And yes, I believe he's telling the absolute truth, as well as Vixen with what he saw last night" I stated, earning everyone's attention "And obviously three of us are dealing with new problems now" "...'three'?" Jacob questioned as I signed. "I've been hearing crap- a girl's voice... and I believe it was the very thing I saw that 'spooked' me last night" I told them as Tom leaned on the table "So... Vixen's seeing dead people, you're hearing things and Green's sleep walking and remembering other people's memories?" Tom questioned "Yeah, good luck dealing with that crap" he said, folding his arms. "Alright, nevermind this crap- we can worry about it later" Tord stated, turning back to the stove "We're leaving at nine so get dressed, eat and get your stuff sorted before than" Tord announced to everyone, surely loud enough for Green to even hear him in the shower.
About Ten Hours Later
7:19pm
Tord stopped the bus just outside the house, opening up the door whilst sleeping teens were waken up. We quickly exchanged goodbyes and 'thank yous' for inviting us out to the cabin, and Tord even apologised to me about what happened during the eclipse... it took a couple of minutes to assure him that it was fine and that it was my fault, not his..... since I didn't exactly tell anyone about what was happening to me. Eventually, the older teens drove off, surely heading back home to Ashmaine whilst us hypnotics slowly and tiredly made our way up to the front door of the house with pillows in arms and bags thrown over our shoulders or dragged along the ground. Lilly dug out her key to the house and unlocked the door, and as we walked in through the front door... we froze... being met with the sight of Blake standing at the bottom of the stairs with three people we've never met before. A guy and two girls. "Uh Blake?... who are they?" Faith questioned, folding her arms as Blake turned his head to us. "This is Sean, Chloe and Katida" Blake smiled, introducing them to us.
The guy was obviously a little older than us, had brown spiked up hair with a few grey streaks through it due to stress, healthy pale skin and pale blue eyes, obviously this was Sean. One of the girls was tall and slim with ivory sunkissed skin, shoulder-length blonde hair and bluey-hazel eyes, luckily Blake pointed to her when he said the name 'Chloe'. The other girl was about my height, in other words... small yet she was much more curvy, had pitch black hair that travelled all the way down her back, warm ivory skin and dull blue eyes... leaving her to be Katida.
"I just brought these guys to the house today, they'll be your new 'house mates' until I can work some stuff out" Blake stated before turning to the new comers "These are our current Hypnotics; my daughter Lilly and her friends Jacob, Faith, Vixen, Holly, Green and this here is the second Hypnotic, Angel" Blake introduced us to the three newbies. "Now, you kids get yourselves sorted whilst I show these three where their rooms are" Blake told us before Sean piped up "Wait... you guys look familiar" Sean stated, pointing at both me and Green, and us alone "I feel like I've seen you two somewhere before" I... honestly don't know what he's on about. I've never seen this guy before in a day of my life- "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before too..." Green said, a little confused by the situation "Well I can't say the same myself" I stated right before Chloe grabbed my hand and smiled brightly "Hi! I'm Chloe Bowman- it's so great to finally meet you" she exclaimed, startling me a bit. "My grandmother used to be a soldier in the Green Army and we mostly thought she was crazy whenever she talked about 'realms' and all that crap, but seeing you right now, right here in front of my own eyes proves that she was absolutely right" Chloe was talking very fast... too fast for someone like me who's recently hit her head and also incredibly tired after a long weekend. "Then I also got hit by a car whilst walking home from school and- oh! did you know that accidentally stepping on and killing a mouse by accident minutes before getting hit by a car can actually activate an ancient curse created millions to billions of years ago?" Chloe questioned "Uh... no?" "Well it can!" Chloe exclaimed. "You sure that when she got hit by the car, it didn't leave a dint in her head?" Green sarcastically questioned Blake before Chloe jumped to him "Actually no, there's no reported dints-" "Hold up, you're already a Hypnotic?" Faith questioned as Chloe rapidly nodded her head "Yep, cursed by a guard angel" Chloe answered in extreme excitement... this girl is just too full of energy.
"Guard angel?" I silently questioned before Chloe jumped back to me "I can't wait to get to know you- we're gonna become the best of friends!" Chloe cheered, wrapping an arm around my shoulders as I looked over at Katida, she was still dead quiet and hadn't spoken a word "Oh yeah- Katida isn't a Hypnotic yet but the council thought it wouldn't hurt to introduce her to this world just in case" Blake told us. Sean was still looking at me "I swear I've seen you somewhere before-" "Look, I assure you we've never met or laid eyes on each other" I told him as I shrugged Chloe's arm off "Most of us, especially me, have spent most of our lives in Australia whilst you are from Ireland, aren't you?". Sean stood there dead silent, as if he had just crossed a line he shouldn't have dared pass "So we've never met before, got it?" he slowly nodded his head as I turned to Chloe "And I'm sorry if I'm not 'jumping with joy' that there's another Hypnotic in the house but I'm dead tired, had a long weak and have already been hit in the head by a stone-like tree branch, so I'm not exactly in the best of moods" I stated loud enough for everyone before heading up the stairs "Welcome to Mid though" I said sarcastically before heading to my room. I know I shouldn't have been so rude, but I seriously wasn't in the mood for any more crap due to the current things we now have to deal with.
(No One's Pov)
After Blake showed the new comers to their rooms and the other Hypnotics headed upstairs to their own rooms, Green pulled Blake aside and told him what happened on the trip.
"Sleep walking?" Blake questioned "Yeah, woke up on the other side of the lake and everything" Green told him "Blake- I'm not a sleep walker, I've never been in my entire life-" "Okay, I got it and I'll look into it, both that and why Vixen is seeing dead people" Blake promised as Green folded his arms "That all?" "No- Angel's been hearing crap... a girl's voice apparently" Green told the teacher. Blake's eyes widened a bit "She sure that-" "How do you think she hit her head on a low branch?" Green questioned as the teacher fell silent "She thinks she also saw whoever's talking to her... this isn't normal traits to just randomly pick up- for either of us-" "Alright, I'll get to the bottom of this, but for now the three of you are just going to have to learn how to live with it until I find something" Blake told the boy, placing a hand on Green's shoulder. "It's not random coincidence, that's for sure but if I were you, I'd keep this quiet from those outside this house-" "What about Tord, Edd, Matt and Tom?" Green questioned as Blake signed "They'll be the only other people to know, but anyone else... say 'Kursathka'" Blake instructed as Green raised a brow "Kursa-" "It's a memory wiping spell so be careful who you aim it at" Blake told the teen in a panicked voice. "Spell? but I'm not a witch or warlock-" "But you are now both a Hypnotic and shadow walker, magic now runs through your veins, Green" Blake told him "It's just up to you whether you decide to use it or not".
