Moonlight (Part 3)

“Oh.” Was all I had to say.

“Well enough about us, what about you guys.” I sighed.

“Let’s see our dad was a mergal, like a mermaid but they have fins for ears, greenish blue ears and tails, and they actually exist, mom was human. I am like my dad and Jake is just normal. Oh and I can kinda control all thing liquid.”

“Seriously?” Chris asked.

“Seriously.” To show him I lifted my left index finger and brought a bubble of root beer out of my can and to my mouth. Just when I was about to drink it Jessie laughed and froze it.

“Hey!” I said then laughed. I licked the root beerisicle then put it on the lid of my can.

 “Wait you can still control it after it turns to ice?” Jessie asked.

“There’s still enough liquid in it so, yeah.”

“Cool!” She said

“Wait so are your parents still alive?” Chris asked.

“No, my dad died when my house caught on fire, he literally burned to death, and our mom she managed to get out but died of smoke intake at a hospital. It was my tenth birthday, and Jake had been 12 for about a month. I also got my blades that day. Soon after we were sent here and they said the only way I could keep my weapons was if I slept during the day and went to school and did guard duty at night.”

“Oh ok.” He looked away.

“Uh I hate to barge but do you have a bathroom I can clean up in. I really don’t want to walk back to my dorm like this.” It wasn’t a lie. I could feel that my hair was knotted and probably had blood in it, but then again we all had blood on ourselves.

“Yeah you can borrow some clothes too, if you like.”

“Sure, I could use a different pair of clothes.” I was wearing my brown kaki pant and green tank top that I always wore when I went on guard duty. She smiled while getting up out of her chair and open up another door that was next to the fridge and freezer. I got up and walked over to the bathroom. Inside was a shore green and pale yellow bathroom. The sink was to the left in front of the door. To the right was a big green bathtub with a shower head inside that was closed by a big pale yellow non-see through curtain. There was also a toilet to the left of it next to a few other doors.

“Fell free to lock the doors but that ones the closet so it doesn’t have a lock through it. There was a door second to the left, away from the toilet.

“Ok thanks.”

“I’m going to leave now.” With that she left the room. Then I locked all the doors and turned the bathtub onto really hot water, putting in some lemony smelling bubble bath. After it was done filling up I undressed and stepped into the bathtub. I instantly felt the familiar numbing feeling in my legs as they turned into a greenish blue tail and my ears followed, turning into the same color fins. After sitting in the bathtub for who knows how long -the water had turned freezing cold- I washed up with some lemony stuff that looked like it came with the bubble bath, put on a clean towel and got out of the bath. I attacked my hair with a mini-brush that was in my tan leather belt pocket and blow dried it. Then I walked over to the door Jessie had said was the closet and opened the door. Inside was a huge walk in closet that was packed with clothes. I walked in passing Chris’ shirts and went to the back where Jessies’ clothes were. She had pretty much every type of clothing, sporty, preppy, Goth, you name it and she had it. I found a pair of green short shorts and a green and brown long sleeve shirt that showed your belly button. I grabbed it then walked out. I put it on, along with my belt and black and green DCs, and looked at myself in the mirror. I was the opposite of pretty. I had straight, black hair that reached my shoulders, and bangs that just barely covered half of my eyes, which were a dull green color. I also had a lip ring on the right side of my lower lip and a belly button ring and some scars on the back of my left shoulder. I was way too skinny, my check bones are too high, and my pale skin never tans no matter how long I spend in the sun. I looked closer and saw the scratch marks I had had on my face were gone but I was still as ugly as normal. I sighed. He would never like me no matter what I did. I heard a glass crash to the floor outside the bathroom door, bringing me back to earth. I opened the door and stepped outside. Jake was pressed up against the wall across from the bathroom door starring dumbfounded at Chris and Jessie, who were in the middle of the room on the floor. There were shards of glass all around them, some shards had blood on them, but they didn’t seem to care. Jamie was looking down at Chris whispering something to him but she wasn’t talking loud enough for me to hear. All I could hear was Chris breathing really loudly. I slowly walked over to where Jake was, staying against the wall. Chris’ whole body was shaking in huge tremors. He looked up and I saw his face for the first time. His eyes were shut but the skin on the left side of his face was turning a strange charcoal color.

“Oh .My. Gosh.” I found the words coming out of my mouth. I stepped away from the wall to look at him closer. He opened his eyes and stared at me, still shaking and breathing hard. One of his eyes was turning to a strange yellow color but the other one was still the same chocolate brown color. He half smiled at me showing his teeth, which were starting to turn from a white color to a yellowish color. He let out a hard breath and closed his eyes, putting his head down again. I looked closer and saw his spine changing so he looked like a hunch back. It looked like it hurt, enormously bad.  Jessie looked up at me and Jake.

“Over the door there’s a piece of metal, pull it down and lock it down. Make sure you put everything away and lock all the doors. NOW!” She threw me a key and I ran to the door and pulled it down, making sure it was locked. All the while Jake was putting things into the storage room. I put the table up as Jake was slamming the door. I threw him the key and he ran around the room, locking all the doors. I looked at Chris but it wasn’t him anymore. Sitting there was a Charcoal colored monster dripping with a tar colored substance, yellow eyes, a hunch back, and long yellow fingernails. I gulped and noticed Jessie wasn’t there anymore. I looked around and saw her over by where the bathroom was with Jake. They silently signaled me to walk over so I quietly did. She had the keys in her hand and was working on unlocking a door that was next to the bathroom. The lock clicked but that was just enough noise for it to hear us. It leaped at me but I jumped out of the way. It screamed a blood curdling scream and jumped at me again.

“Kit!” Jessie had gotten the door opened and I jumped towards it and ran in. Jessie locked the door just in time to hear a thump as its head hit it.

ok so far this is my favorite chapter
