Finally at the top of the mountain, Alex leans a bit forward out of breath as Killian pats Alex’s shoulder while continuously glancing around. Nikki waves her arms around, while Danni sets down the bag she was carrying.
Nikki-” Na- Savina!”
Alex-” We made it…”
Danni pulls out some bottled water from the book bag she carried the way up, handing them out to the others.
Alex-” Oh.. thank you.”
Killian-” thanks….”
Nikki-” Thank you.”
When the unsettling feeling continues Killians face drops to express discomfort. Alex quickens to notice Killian’s expression, standing up to look his friend in the eyes.
Alex-” Are you well? Killian?”
Nikki looks up and notices the birds, tapping on Danni’s shoulder pointing to the sky. As the twins look at each other, Killian begins to become more unsettled, picking at his nails as they grow. Touching Killian’s hands Alex gives a calm smile and whispers.
Alex-” .. no .. Killian you need to calm down.. Take deep breaths”
(A figure walking up) gaining the fours immediate attention.
Nikki-” Who are you?”
Danni backs up behind Nikki, both glaring with orange gleaming eyes. Still (the man walks closer to the four). Alex grabs Killian’s arm, who grits his teeth.
(The Man)- “ I’m sorry.. I saw you four walking from a distance..”
Killian- “ …he’s a druggie..”
Alex keeps a grip on Killian,while Killian’s nails start to grow faster, his teeth begin to sharpen more.
Alex- “ Killian please calm down, we don’t know whether or not he’s a threat, besides the girls are here with us.”
(The Man)- “ I don’t think you four knew but there’s no trespassing allowed...So I’ve claimed this place as my own.. Which means you four are trespassing on my turf.”
While Killian becomes more on edge thinking [“your turf?!”] Alex continues to tighten his grip on Killian who’s pretty ticked off. Danni goes to stand in front of her sister still keeping the orange colored eyes.
Danni-“ Try me...”
As the man looks at the four, he starts to slowly pull out a knife, whilst uncovering the gun on his side. Before the man could really do anything, he’s grabbed by Killian, grabbing him by the neck with his hands changing form. Seeing the sharpened cat like nails and fangs as Killian snares at the man who looks horrified. Danni moves away back towards Nikki, as they both look surprised… Alex walks forward trying to pull Killian back but no use... especially once his voice goes deepened to demonic.
Killian-” People Like You Really Piss Me Off.”
(The Man)- “ ...What are You?!”..
Seeing the man gasp for breath, Killians grip tightens around his neck. Alex glances nervously at Danni and Nikki, then walks to Killian pulling onto his ear tightly.
Alex-” Killian I think he learned his lesson.. Now Put Him Down!”
Killian- “ .. Alex..”
Alex-” We talked about this.. Killian, it’s going to be very difficult to explain this to Danni and Nikki. Now Drop!!”
Killian glances back with a cold look, taking a deep breath and drops the man. Taking a quick seat on the ground Killian stares at his hands as they turn to normal. Killian blows his bangs from his eyes and looks at Alex.
Killian-” sorry....”
Alex- “ All is well now.. I’m sorry about this.. Are you two alright?”
Danni & Nikki-” Yeah..”
Alex-”Perhaps keep this between us four?”
Nikki-” Of course.”
Danni-” It’s cool.”
Nikki-” We’re more alike than you think, Killian.”
Killian stares with a questionable yet silent expression until Danni slowly barrel rolls in front of him, transforming into a different form as Nikki transforms along with Danni. Seeing the two twins in a strange form one of a demon looking creature as the other of an angel like appearance.
Nikki-” Surprise.”
Startled by Danni’s sudden barrel roll, Killian leans back more confused by them changing.. Now the eyes made more sense.
Alex-”.. Well this is quite the surprise ... we really are alike.”
Danni-” YAY. we’re all besties.”
Nikki-”... Wait, you too, Alex?”
The two men glance at each other, chuckling softly Alex thinks to himself then looks at the twins. The twins look at them two then both de-transforms.
Danni-” Do tell us your secret too.”
Alex-“ I suppose I can, I’d have to shorten the story though.”
Killian sighs and lays onto the ground staring at the trees that surround them, as time goes slowly and difficult as Alex explains himself as much as possible without confusion.
Nikki-” Did you fight in WW2? Or fight in the Civil War? Did you fight in any wars?? What kind of places have you been in? Did you act in the very first play created?.. Oh Wait!”
Interrupting Nikki, Danni looks at the two men who are in front of them then points to both.
Danni-” Calm down...Okay Alex, you’re Immortal. And Killian you’re some sort of cat?”
Alex-``yes, pretty much.”
Killian-” … and you two are what?...some kind of demons..?”
Danni-” I’m the Demon.”
Nikki-” Yep , especially in the morning.”
Danni-” It’s funny, because It’s true.”
Killian-” It's great that we know we’re all freaks……..can we go? This place reeks.”
Danni-``Sure, do you guys want a ride down?”
Alex-” Oh most definitely.. I don’t want to walk all the way down..”
Killian-“..no thanks..”
Danni-” I can walk down with you.”
Nikki transforms and grabs Alex as they start making their way down the mountain, as for Danni and Killian who start to walk down themselves. After a long period of silence, Danni picks up an arrowhead showing Killian as her eyes turn into sunset red. Walking alone with Killian… seeing his aura of mixtures of colors too difficult to read, mostly of a darkened brown.
Danni- “ What do you think of this rock?”
Killian-” …. it’s an arrowhead..”
Danni-” I know.. I don't know what tribe they’re from, but they were probably native here.”
Killian- “ ..k..”
Danni- “ Are you okay?”
Killian glances around not moving his head, just his eyes. Exhaling a long sigh and then rubs his neck.
Killian- “ … this is gonna sound weird.. so.. don’t take it the wrong way..”
Danni- “ I’m used to being weird so It’s fine.”
Killian-” ….we've met.. not face to face.. at a place. I saw gold hair and yellow eyes..”
Danni- “Have you noticed anything about Nikki and me, before we showed our other forms?”
Killian-.. yeah..”
Danni- “ Okay.. what was the place you remember seeing us at?”
Killian-”.... a lab where scientists experimented ……or what was home..”
Danni- “ A place where they took you in cells and pushed your limits..?”
Killian- “yup.. ”
Danni-” I don’t know why It’s like your home.. But our parents abandoned us and then a woman who worked there found us and took us there...so that’s the closest to a home we had.”
Killian-” … sorry about that.. it’s burnt down now...”
Danni-”yeah…”
Noticing Danni’s eyes turn deep blue as her voice becomes melancholy, Killian bites down on his tongue.
Killian-” … sorry about bringing up…..memories.. I needed to know..”
Danni- “ It’s okay.. Why do you want to know..?”
Pausing from the question asked, Killian glances at her and then looks forward, keeping his hands in his pockets holding onto a small box and a lighter.
Killian- “ .. the scientists……..my parents.. I overheard my mother mentioning two young girls….she found on the streets.”
Danni- “ ..so it was your mother who found us?
Killian-”..yep..”
Danni-” Our parents didn’t want girls, so they threw us out. Since you told me about your parents, it’s only fair that I tell you about ours.”
Killian-”.. let’s just.. uh..finish this conversation some other time.”
A little short bit: before they all become friends. (BackFlash)
After school hours Danni is walking out of the college compass, just as Killian has closed up for the day. As they both are walking Killian and Danni make eye contact, while crossing the crosswalk.
Killian-``hey..”
Danni-” Hi..”
Killian glances at Danni’s eyes that change into sunset red. Both then awkwardly walk faster from each other. Opening the door Danni throws her bag onto the floor getting her sister Nikkis' attention.
Danni- “ I’m.. home..”
Nikki-” Why are you out of breath?”
Danni-” I just ran into Killian after class.”
Nikki- “ So and your point is?
Giving Nikki a look, she sighs looking at Danni with a questionable smile.
Nikki-“ Okay, I get it, but isn’t he really awkward too?”
Danni shrugs while going and sitting on the couch next to Nikki.
Nikki- “ Eh.. but doesn’t he look familiar from somewhere? Other than from the cafe.”
Danni- “ kinda.. like that kid.. from..”
Nikki-”.. Anyway . movie night?”
Danni- “Maybe in a bit , I have to study.”
Before they all met; Killian sees Danni and Nikki as a child, but only for a split second. Only seeing hair like gold and gleaming eyes. Not only that, he sees them twelve years later. And elsewhere before??
(at Killian’s place)
After arriving back at his place, only to hear the annoying sound of his phone ringing, disrupting the peaceful silence. Sighing Killian picks up...
<Killian-“ What do you want?”>
<Alex- “ Well who spit in your coffee?”>
<Killian- “ Sorry … what do I owe the pleasure of your call?”>
<Alex- “ Better.. Why the rough tone this evening?” >
<Killian- “ Just some stupid kids at work.. I also ran into Danni.”
<Alex-” Let me guess you ran away?”>
<Kilian- “ … yep.., but for some reason….those two girls seem a little familiar.”>
<Alex- “ How so?”>
<Killian- “ Like I’ve seen them from somewhere, I think in my childhood? I don’t know…..”>
<Alex-” Possibly you met them as a child?”>
<Killian-” maybe… anyway why’d you call me?”>
<Alex- “ oh yes right, my cellular device will not stop buzzing how do I make it stop?”>
Putting his hand on his forehead and groans, sighing in annoyance.
<Killian-“... I’ve shown you this how many times..?!”>
