Issac Timson's Story

"Get a burger. It's too early for cake." Candy said, but she gave Ace a significant look. Candy knew what was between them. She knew they liked each other, but didn't understand why they didn't just go out.
She picked up her phone. "Hey! It's working again!" She flipped it open and texted quickly: "Heyy! Do u nd ur bro want 2 come 2 the diner? Evry1's here!" to her friend Art. Artemis' brother, Issac, was her own crush. Mostly because he seemed so gentle. But he also repected her. He was like a child, but she truly enjoyed his company.
She sent the message and them smiled back at Lexi.

Jack glared at the beautiful killer. "I did repay you," he said, "Or have you forgotten your fiance?" That, they both knew, was a very interesting story. It would have given some other, more...personable killers (such as Reno) a good laugh. But that was a story for another time.
"But, Love, I do need your help this time. You know of the curse upon us. Never to stop killing. Never to die. Not until we erase that bloody coven who laid that curse upon us from the world. And you know what? Our luck is changing. The last remaining members of the coven are here in Morrowfield," he took a breath and stared for a moment at her lovely, cruel face. "I'm like you, Jules. I ate admitting when I need help, but this time, I do. This will be like nothing we've faced before. I need you, Reno, and Trinity. And one more. The boy in the woods," he knew she knew he was refferring to Issac, "And then we can kill them all. I need you to find Trinity. I'll get Reno. Bring them to...oh, you know where, Jules. A little underground cavern. Secret and hidden. We need to plan there. And I need to explain something to all of you," he looked at her defiant expression, "I promise it will be fun," he said.

Artemis picked up her phone and read the text that Candy sent. She stood up, releasing her weakling of a brother from the pin hold she'd had him in. "Hey, Candy wants us to come to the diner. I personally don't want to go, but I know how you are with the ladies." She raised an eyebrow and laughed a bit, knowing that Candy liked Issac. He was somewhat clueless though. And by somewhat, she meant very.

"Well, I want to go so you should come," Issac replied, not taking the hint. He grabbed Artemis's keys and then tossed them to her. The twins were opposites, but it seemed as if they could read each others' minds sometimes.

A few minutes later, the twins walked into the diner. Artemis was in an even worse mood due to the rain. She was soaking wet and shivering. "I hope you're happy," she said to nobody in particular, glancing around at all of the others in the diner. She and Issac sat down at a table close to the rest of the group. Unlike his sister, Issac was still smiling despite being wet and cold.

"Oh...Um, sorry!" Candice said to Artemis. "Hi Issac!" she greeted warmly with a sweet smile.

"What can i get for you?" the waitress asked while chomping on a piece of gum.

Candy looked up, "Oh...umm...I'll have a strawberry...milkshake," she said. What she really wanted was strawberry wine, but they didn't serve that here. Of course they didn't serve that here...

As the others were ordering, Candice said quietly, "I'll be right back!" she got up and went out the door. What had her do so was the car outside. And the girl in it. It was Otter. She didn't know her very well, but still hated to see people alone. She ran through the rain, pulling her hoodless jacket over her head and knocked on the window of the car. If the girl didn't want to join them, she'd simply go back inside.

~OTTER~

She finished up the song and gave a few last headbangs that threw her hair into a mess as the beat closed out. It always lifted her spirits to jam out to her favorite bands.
She pulled herself out of the car and headed into the diner. She saw that everyone had already beaten her inside and she felt somewhat of an outcast. She didn't really feel like pulling up a chair along with the others. She touched her hair some, adjusting her bangs, then went to sit at a table alone. She wasn't sure if anyone had even noticed her arrival but she didn't care much either way.
She glanced at the table and her eyes landed on Isaac, her eyebrows pulling up. She looked almost saddened but she wouldn't let that emotion take hold of her. No, not again. She wondered if she threw herself into the loop if she would have any chance with him. She didn't want to seem like a slut though. Or take away the person that Candy liked. But why was it always her that was stuck in the back without any happiness?
She pulled her leather jacket closer around her body and lay her head down on the welcoming table top. A small groan escaping her when she went to hold her temple.
The perky waitress approached her and a silver orb slid up to observe her.
"Uhm, hi! Can I get you anything to drink?" A too large grin covered her features and Otter rolled her eyes.
"A hot tea, if you would." The dark haired girl ordered and the waitress left her alone and she was all the more glad to be in her own little world.


~RENO~

He left the scene in front of the diner once the dark gothic looking girl walked inside. It was getting too crowded for him and he didn't want to be exposed to everyone in the little clan that he so direly needed to dispose of.
He slunk back into the trees and inhaled deeply, the rustic smell of blood still fresh on his taste buds.
Skin ripped and out of his back two large, black feathered wings protruded and continued to rip his skin until they were completely elongated.
He stretched his shoulders, obviously showing that he had been waiting for that moment to fly. He gave a wicked grin before pressing the balls of his feet into the ground and taking a sturdy stance then leaped off of the ground and into the air.
His wings flapped vigorously, but he was concealed by the trees so no one would see him.
He took off into the air, soaring above buildings and home editions. He saw Rock Point not far ahead of him and remembered that Jack had mentioned something about going there at some point so he swooped in for a landing, coming up only a few meters away form Juliet.
He kept his wings out but silently walked up behind her and slid his arms around her petite waist, his cool lips went straight to her ear.
"Mmm, hello there, my sweet. You look especially ravishing from behind. Mind giving me a peek of what I'm missing out on?" His lips curled into a grin and he chuckled lightly before letting his lips brush away from her and his arms fell to his sides.

Artemis glared at Lacey a bit, though she didn't really mean any harm. She looked at Issac, then picked up a menu. A few cups of coffee wouldn't hurt, right? Actually, she might end up bouncing off the walls. Yup, she would definitely be getting some coffee. She waved the waitress over and ordered three cups of coffee with a bit of cream. The waitress probably would see it all by tonight, seeing as she seemed to be on the shift with the weirdest of customers.

The twins were fairly new to town, though their mother was not. Morrowfield had been her childhood home. Why she had left and then come back though was beyond what they could even imagine. Neither of the siblings had any idea about their supernatural roots, they just knew they were a bit different.

Art looked over at Christine, Cal, Lexi, and Lacey. She didn't exactly know them except for Lacey.

Issac smiled at Candy before sitting down. She was a gone a few moments later. Seeing as she had headed outside, he decided he would try to keep an eye on the rest of the group here. Everyone seemed to be kind enough. Artemis was obviously ticked off, Lacey was her usual feisty self, and Lexi-Anna seemed to be on edge. But other than that, it was perfectly fine. Having empathetic powers could be nice, though it really was a downer at funerals.

"So how are you guys?" he asked, always the chatter bug of the siblings. "As you can see, it's some lovely weather out there!" As Otter and Candy came back in, he smiled kindly at them, then turned back to the others to see what they had to say. He was completely oblivious to anything other than friendship with the two. Maybe love just didn't work with his power.

Jack glared at both Juliet and Reno. Then he gave a polite nod to Trinity. He respected her. She was like him. Smart. And she killed the right way. For speaking to them, he removed his mask. It just seemed right to do. Polite. Although, only Juliet had ever seen his face before. Strangely, though, he was quite handsome with soft, blue eyes.
But he honestly didn't care about any of that. "As you all know, we have a curse upon us. The only way to break that curse is the Nyxian ritual. Since I assume you have no idea what it is, I'll explain. We have to kill all the members of the Nyx Coven. You should, by now, know who they are. Their descendants, at least. The ritual involves all of them. All need to die except one for each of us to sacrifice. This sacrifice has to of the opposite sex as you. You kill them at the ritual, don't worry. But until then, you must each capture your victim and kill the rest. Until the time for the ritual, you may do whatever with your sacrifice that you wish. But first, everyone who was cursed must be gathered here. Unfortunately, one of us is missing.
"Issac Timson was unknowingly cursed. Now, we have to capture the boy and bring him here. If we force him to stay and kill, then we will. But he is a key part, or none of this will work.
"Of course, capturing the boy may be hard. Luckily, though, a miss Candice Joyce easily gives into threats concerning her friends. We are not allowed to kill the boy and she will cooperate.
"But then, we all have to choose a sacrifice of the opposite sex. Candice may be difficult to persuade," he glanced at Reno, "but threatening her may be fun. If no one wants her, we'll kill her in front of the others," he only looked at Reno when he was speaking.
"And as for you ladies," he looked at Juliet and then referred to Trinity when he said "Lady. You girls have two choices. You may fight over the two.
"What I am offering you, ladies and gentleman, is a chance to go on a murderous rampage and finally be free of the curse. After that, it's your decision to kill or not to kill. The point is that you will have the choice. But I will need your help. By morning, I want to have our prisoners. I'll do my part if you'll do yours, but first we need to capture Issac. His friend's betrayal will be unexpected. The question, though, is do we keep or kill the girl Candice Joyce?" he posed this question to Reno who was the only one who could possibly claim her besides Jack himself, but Jack had another target.

Inside the diner Candy was happily chatting with friends. She was going to enjoy herself if it was the last thing she did. And it could have been. She kept checking the time on her phone.
"Hey, Ace, can we all go back to your place and just hang out? My apartment is really leaky. Besides, we'll make a party out of this get together!" she smiled.

~OTTER~

A pair of silver eyes stared into Ford, but once she had finished smiling, her face fell. A hollow look on her face as if she were lost in her own mind. And she was, now dazing off, her head in her hand. She sighed and watched the coffee steam rise and dissipate into the air.
He asked her if she was from Morrowfield? She laughed in her head and but hardly let the expression show on her face.
"Yeah. I've lived here all my life. I used to live with my parents. But my sister and I moved out and rented a house not far from here..." She stopped, not wanting to continue the rest of the story or get any deeper then that. She had answered his question so she did not need to proceed.
She took another sip of her tea which had cooled down for perfect temperature.
Otter leaned against the table, her eyes drifting towards the crowded table where everyone else was. Only Isaac noticed her so there was that. Why was she staring? She shook her head and sat up again, grabbing the coffee and beginning to drink every drop. She set the cup down when she finished and didn't meet Ford's eyes.

~RENO~

He chuckled at Jack's speech. He lifted himself off of the wall and leaned against it next to Juliet and closest to Jack.
"I don't want that girl. I know who my favorite is." His lips curled up in a smile that would scare any human. He looked determined and unstoppable, as if nothing would stand in his way.
"I want Lexi-Anna." He had decided earlier when he was staring into the diner. He wanted to kill the blondes, but if he had a choice he preferred a dark haired sacrifice.
"And I know just how I am going to succeed in this." His wings slowly slipped back into his back and he leaned forward, shoulders hunched as they drew into his back. The slits close up immediately and he leaned back against the wall again.
He shook his head, then started fixing his hair making sure it was perfect.
He pulled a box out of his pocket and lit up a cancer stick. The first drag he had was french inhaled and he blew the smoke out of his nose.
He took another hit then looked towards the women.
"So who do you want?" He asked them both.

Juliet glowered at Reno her fight impulse started to flood her head, she looked over a trinity and jack, thankful for them both coming in. She flushed at Jack's dirty look, she wanted to thank them both. "Which ever you want Trin I think we will figure it out I think I could easily get Calkid away from the others." She glanced at Jack. "yes?" She slinked over to Jack., once Reno released her from his grasp.

Lacey grinned at Candy "Yeah thats fine I had party things at my place that they don't sell here, and yes I have strawberry wine." She winked at her. Yeah Candy your apartment is aweful bad." She grinned at her looking over at everyone. "Party at my casa bitches."Shee laughed and glanced at Otter and some guy she didnt know "You and your friend can come Otto< and Christine if you want to too. The more the merrier." She rested her head against Cal's shoulder "You'll come too right?"

Artemis paid little attention to those around her, preferring to focus only on her coffee. She drank it quickly and began to warm up, as well as become overly excited about nothing. Her foot was tapping tge floor rapidly in an irregular and out of time beat. She had hardly noticed the stranger who was chatting with Otter.

She looked up as Lacey mentioned having a party at her apartment. Normally, she wouldn't have gone to such an event, but the coffee had cheered her up. An hour or so out and having fun wasn't so bad now was it? "Sounds like fun," she said honestly, smiling a bit.

***

Issac had noticed the out of towner speaking with Otter. He was tempted to go and speak with them, but it seemed that they were content with being seperate from the group. He couldn't blame them, seeing as his own sister hated social events that didn't relate to sports.

He was a bit surprised to hear that Lacey was having a party at her house. He had only just arrived and hadn't had anything to eat. Hopefully she would have some food at her place. His sister was happy enough to go along so he eagerly decided to as well. He just loved talking with peopl! Unless they were sad, because then he could feel their sorrow and too much would bring him down as well.

Cal grinned down at her. "Of course," he said to her and put his arm around the girl. He wouldn't have missed it for anything. Especially since he could see more of Ace. "in fact, why don't we all just blow this joint right now I'd rather be at that party."
-------
Back at his apartment, Crazy Cat Guy, or CCG for short, walked around the bedroom. There, he had fifteen or his fourty cats. Some were unnamed. But others were named. He sat down and pet kitty Candy. At his feet was kitty Cal. Then he had kitty Ace, kitty Otter, kitty Issac, kitty Art, kitty Lexi, kitty Christine, and kitty Renee. He liked to pat them all. They were his bestest friends in the whole world. Not that he knew any of the people they were named after besides Ace.
But he waited patiently despite the time. He was waiting for Lacey, his neighbor to come home. He knew that she'd have her friends with her this time.
He quickly picked up kitty Art and went into the kitchen. There he opened a drawer took out a spoon. Licked it and put it back. Then he stood still and breathed loudly through his mouth. Seeing as there was nothing to do, he carried his kitty out the door and into the hall. He walked next door to Ace's place and unlocked it with her spare key she kept under the potted plant by her door. He replaced it and went into her apartment. Then he looked around to find that no one was there. He stroked his cat as he walked into the bedroom.
He went through her closet, finding one of her shirts and putting it on. Then he slipped under the bed and waited.

Artemis groaned a bit as Lacey told her about Flint wanting to know if she was coming. She found him to be a pain in the neck. Sure he was cute, but he was too cocky for her liking. Maybe they could play some games and then she'd show him who was boss. Lacey departed with her brother, while Candy ran out right into the rain. Why anybody would willingly go out into that down pour was beyond her.

The red head picked up her keys and headed to the door, not bothering to offer Christine, Lexi-Anna, Ford, or Otter a ride. She simply headed outside and started up her car, waiting to see if Issac would bring anybody with him.

***

"Candy-" he started to say, but she was already gone. Issac didn't want her to get hurt or sick. He would have gone after her himself, but the rain would probably make him trip and fall. And Artemis had already almost run him over tonight when backing out of the driveway and thinking he was already in the car. Something was seriously wrong with his sister.

He waited until Cal offered up some rides before offering as well. "My sister has two spots in the back of her bug."
