"UH OH FART PATROL COMING TO GET YOU NOW!" Yelled Angie as she woke Micheal, Taron and Amelia up.
"UH OH FART PATROL COMING TO GET YA!" Added Kevin and Simeona as they came into the living room as a conga line. "Guys what time is it?" Taron groaned as he squinted. "Around ten, we woke up early and got food and then jogged around the house and then came back in." Simeona answered. "Right. Wait, how did you guys know it was ten with how the sky is?"
"The alarm clock you doof."
"Ah." Taron reached for his glasses and put them on as he blinked and his cheeks puffed up at the state of the three. "Where the fuck did you three jog?"
"Around the house, Simmy just said it."
"No like where exactly?!"
"Oh! The treehouse! We kept pushing each other into the bushes and Kevin ended up in the ditch."
"Can you guys be any more louder?" Micheal growled as he rubbed his eyes. "Is it tomorrow everyone?" Amelia asked. "Yup."
"So what are we doing today?"
"Well the cult, big priority for starters. First we need to find out when the next blood moon is. Find a person who knows astrology and ask them."
"Well can't we just find a phonebook and phone them here?"
"Did you forget the cult?"
"Right."
"There's a bunch of local ones but the only one that's international is near to the border of the town."
"Well what about that?"
"...That just gave me an idea. Only thing is Angie I'm gonna need your help."
"Are we gonna steal something?"
"Fuck yeah we are."
"YES!"
"Taron you got that little cart thing from our childhood?"
"Say no more." Taron got up and ran outside as Micheal and Kevin looked at each other and both of their eyes gleamed with excitement. Amelia was confused. Angie went over and gave her a phonebook that was in the kitchen. "Look through this and find us a space man alright?"
She nodded as Micheal and Kevin both ran upstairs and Taron followed behind after running back in and handing Simeona a green cart, chasing them upstairs. This made Angie giggle. "I feel like we need this."
"Looking at what we're living in and the deal with some of us, we definitely do."
The boys came back down freshly dressed and Kevin holding some clothes belonging to Simeona. "Are those mine?"
"Yeah, but Amelia's coming with us. So she needs these." He gave Amelia the clothes and as she looked through her face became full of wonder and happiness. "These..."
"My wide pants? Really?"
"Shush."
"I may need some privacy." Amelia spoke up as everyone realized and nodded as they left the room. After a bit, Amelia crawled out as she pushed open the door. "You need some help there?"
"I am fine." She crawled over to the green cart and sat herself comfortably. "Where are we going?"
"We're going to my old school. It's the weekend so no one's in but everything's locked. But I know a sneaky way to the bike shed. Me and Taron used to do this thing where one of us would sit in that cart and the other would ride a bike and go around like .. you know, that." Simeona tried to explain as Kevin left and then came back with his own. "I don't understand?"
"Basically we're going to nab some bikes and get to this phone booth while also having fun." Angie explained to Amelia as she started to look through the phonebook and found someone by the name of 'Daniel Kalida'.
"How about this sir?" She asked as Simeona leaned in and gasped. "I know him! He came to Edgeoak once with his brother and his niece. It was a couple of years though so I don't know if he would remember me but I did do the volunteer thing with him."
"I remember that as well! His niece was so nice. She was so awkward and I was just like- me. She is me."
"I remember when we got to talk to those three after the assembly and she wouldn't let you go for anything!" Simeona added as they pulled the cart that Amelia was in outside the house and the six of them saw the still dusk sky with the sun gone. "This looks funky as shit." Said Angie as she took off the military jacket she had on and gave it to Amelia so that she can be warm. "Thank you Angie."
"No problem."
"Alright Micheal get on." Kevin said as he got on the bike. "Why me?"
"You can't fit in the cart." Taron whispered which made Simeona and Angie laugh. "Fuck you Taron." Micheal spat as he went to Kevin's bike.
"You too!"
Micheal then got on and Kevin started to pedal and he started to pick up speed which made everyone run after him, Angie taking the handle of the cart and pulling Amelia with her as the six of them travelled into the small town.

A figure was watching them from a distance. He watched them with precision and caution.
"Hey Kev watch out! Pothole!" Simeona called out as the group saw the open sewer hole and this made Kevin pedal faster. The group then chanted "TURTLES! TURTLES! TURTLES!". This figure gasped and muttered something under his breath. Then right as the group was over the sewer hole they felt no hole. They looked down to see the sewer hole with it's lid back on. "That's weird."
"Wasn't that open a couple of seconds ago?"
"Maybe it was a illusion thing?"
"Or there's a gas leak."
"If so who farted?"
The group cackled. The figure sighed in relief and wrote down in a book,

'These six children are unique. They're young. They have their whole lives. I can't bring up how I don't want to hurt them. I really don't. The order has already harmed someone from the group and for them to do so to the rest of them would be dreadful. But I cannot say that they should leave these kids alone. I don't want them to hurt anyone yet I don't want to be alone again. I've spent years and years alone by my own accord and for me to reverse it now would be..'
He caught the air in his throat as he remembered what he did and he closed the book.
"I can't let these kids go through what she went through, they don't deserve it."
"They need fixing."
"They don't need fixing Zélote! They are children who from what I learned in their history, they're perfectly okay. The last thing they need is fixing."
"You don't understand. This world is sick and filled with flawed vessels. Those rats are vermin. But like taxidermy you can remould them to be something better."
"They are your canvas Aloyius. They are yours to mould and to say that you would leave them to dry is idiotic, it's pathetic. Make use of your media."
"They're just kids Zélote! Only children! I've already hurt one I can't hurt the other five!"
"YOU HAVE THE ORDER. THEY ARE COUNTING ON YOU. DON'T FORGET WHAT YOU DID TO YOUR LOVED ONES. ESPECIALLY HER."
"Don't remind me about what I did to everyone!" The figure screamed as he punched the ground and sent a energy blast to a tree, causing it to explode. He gasped and picked out the book, running away from where he was. The group heard the explosion and turned around, seeing the tree leaves and branches spray everywhere. "Where's this phone booth?"
"Just across the street, why?"
"We should hurry so people don't think it's us."
"Agreed." The group then booked it.

"National Aeronautics and Space Administration. What is it you need?"
"Hi yes, we're doing a project on philosophy and we would like to know when the next blood moon is due?"
Mumbling could be heard from the other side as everyone was waiting outside the phone booth.
"What's up?" Kevin asked. "It's not the guy, it's NASA. I kinda forgot the reason that he came to Edgeoak was because he was an intern for NASA."
"He also had glasses."
"Little nerdy ones."
All of a sudden a portal appeared under Simeona and she fell through it. "FUCK!"
"SIMMY!"
"SIMEONA!"
She reached for them but then the portal closed and she ended up somewhere else. A dome was the roof. She looked around and she saw all the astrology tools and she then saw a chair with it's back turned to her. "Are you Mr Kalida? I'm Simeona I went to Edgeoak, I was one of the volunteers from the assembly. I had a frie-"
The chair turned around dramatically with Mr Kalida in the seat, his hands intertwined and the lighting making him look ominous. "Really? Oh wait hold on the lamp's off." He reached for the lamp and flicked it on, blinking a couple of times. "There we are! Hello Miss Simeona! Long time no see, you've grown much!" He expressed as he got up from his seat.
"Yeah, uhhh I just needed to ask about something. It's- Well we said to NASA that it was for a school project but the truth is actually because of this world ending cult-"
"The Order of Altan?"
"...Yeah. How did you know?"
"Believe me, you have no clue how many no caller ids I get about the blood moon. It's literally from the cult."
"Right, well when is it?"
"What day is it today?"
"Saturday."
"Right so, in a couple of days that's when it'll come. I know it sounds like stressful because it's a couple of days but if you want, I've got a way to stop it. The blood moon. If you want I can give your my personal number so I can let you know. It's not me being creepy It's just so you and your friends know. And also because maybe there's info you didn't know you need. Is that alright with you?" He explained as he wheeled over to her with a little card. "That's fine! Um a little question, what happened to your legs?" She pointed at his legs. "Long story short, ended up turning into a monster because of some bad curry and I kinda broke my legs. I'm waiting for some prosthetics customally made from this company. They have little sections that I can put stuff in." Simeona took the card and they both shook hands. "OH and another thing, how's your niece and your brother?"
"My brother's doing well as so and my niece the same, she's actually abroad right now with her friends!"
"Oh cool! What is she doing?"
"She's a musician."
"Nice, how do I get back?" Simeona asked.
"Where do you live?"
"Britain but it was a phonebooth at the border of my town that you got me from."
"Right hold on let me check the history on this." Mr Kalida wheeled back to his desk and checked the history and nodded. "Got it, I'll send you back now." He gave her a macaroon and then a bag of macaroons. "What's the bag for?"
"For your friends? See ya!" He took his portal gun and shot it at the floor and then pushed Simeona in. "WOAH!"
She then ended up back at the phone booth and she looked around for the others who were on top of the phone booth, Amelia sitting on a rock, waiting. "Hey Amelia."
"Hello."
"Where are the others?"
"Up on the telephone booth roof." She pointed as Simeona looked up and wheezed as the three guys were backed up into one of the corners. "What happened?"
"We went to the shop and we got snacks and then while I was eating mine my jaw decided to unhinge and it made Kevin, Micheal and Taron shit bricks."
"Well, that's reasonable."
"IT WAS FUCKING LIKE ALUCARD WHEN HE ATE THAT BLONDE FUCKER!" Kevin yelled as he was holding onto Taron's arm.
"Gonna have to be more specific there Kevin." Micheal remarked.
"Glasses."
"More specific."
"Works for the Millennium."
"MORE SPECIFIC!"
"HE HAD A BROTHER NAMED JAN!"
"LUKE!"
"THAT'S THE BITCH!"

The group began to walk through the town as it was now the afternoon and they passed a park with a bunch of kids. "Children." Angie mumbled as they all laughed. Amelia looked behind and felt a shock go down her back. Boris was behind them. "Hey guys? That sir from yesterday is following us." The whole group darted their heads towards Boris as he jumped and waved awkwardly. "Hey kids, just wanted to see how you were. I saw you 6 walking down the street and I wanted to say hi! And also I thought of a name idea for your project."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, does 'GoneInTheMorning' sound good?"
"It sounds fucking perfect. You are a geniarse Boris." Kevin exclaimed as he danced to Boris and patted his back like bongo drums. "Ow."
"I think he gets it Kev."
"Right. Well what's up as well?" He asked as he leaned on him.
"Just wanted to check up on you guys. I'm coming around on Monday if that's okay?"
"Yeah that's fine."
"Alright, I'll see you crazy kids later!" Boris saluted as he walked away, making Kevin fall to the floor. This made Taron wheeze. "Fucking doof you are."
"These macaroons are like, really good!" Angie exclaimed as he swallowed two in one gulp.
As soon as Boris was out of their view he chuckled to himself. "Perfect. It's going the way we planned it. For you my messiah. I pray."
