The now “speed” demon continues dashing around the room. Jax can hear the quiet thump of the footsteps. They slow down and then a door creeks. Then shuts. Jax starts to unpack Evan's things. He didn't have much but they can put it away fully in the morning.
The next morning. Jax was the only one awake. The night was long and lonely and it was his decision to not get much sleep. Quietly making his way upstairs, Jax knocks on Lu's door. It opens.
“Yuh..?” The demon rubs his eyes.
“Can I come in?” Jax asks giving his friend time to wake up.
“Yeh…” Lu moves out of the way letting Jax in. “Did you legit get no sleep?”
Jax collapses onto Lu's bed. “I felt bad, I didn't think that would have happened. Can you see if he's awake?”
Lu's face falls into a frown, he rolls his eyes. “It's YOUR room dude.” Lu sits and spins on his red gamer chair.
They hear the door open, standing at the doorway is Evan.
“Uh, knock knock?” He says
Still exhausted and laying on the bed Jax points in the direction of a room.
“I got your stuff to your room but didn't know where you wanted it.”
“Cool thanks but I've processed something and talked with my mom”
Lu stops spinning and Jax jolts up. They both listen attentively.
“So like, mom was hoping she wouldn't have to tell me. Thought I would freak out. I told her I already did. She said there was something that just got to her? She hopes that it's not true. I asked and if it did? She said have everybody call their parents.”
“I knew my dad was in this and Lu, your mom was in this. Celine said we are in this. But. Why?” Jax lays back down.
Out of nowhere an earthquake, the lights go out, and the sound of an explosion.
“SIR?!” Lu cries out in fear the other give him a questioning look. “Funny youtuber joke. It's a part of my vocabulary now. Cemented there forever.”
The lights go back on, Lu s phone ring. Its Celine.
“Excuse me, huh?” He waits. “Yea we are all up.” Quiet. “Ok bye see ya soon.” He hangs up. “Everyone! Celine has a quest!”
Evan cant tell if this is a joke or has something to do with the earthquake and not threatening at all explosion.
Jax imminently gets up leaves the room and call his dad.
“He has the right idea, Evan call your mom” Lu leaves the room with his phone.
Evan quickly dialed his phone.
“It happened ,” he says calmly
“WHAT!?” A gasp from the other side. “Are you ok are you safe?”
“Yes mom, and so is everyone else we just heard sounds and had an earthquake and called to go see the local witch, Celine”
“She should have all the information. I'm sorry. Its. Hard to talk about. Please just stay safe. And whatever you do. DON'T give in.”
“Don't give in”. Don't give in to what?
“Evan, I love you. I m so proud of all you have done. It's going to be an… interesting… adventure to say the least. You have friends and family who care about you. Please remember this.”
“Yes mom… ok mom.. I love you.”
He hangs up the phone after she says goodbye.
