Ch. 22

The group finally arrived at Sissy's farm. Only to see the place to be covered with snow when the rest of the area is green.

Thunder and wind all united in one place, that it made a large cloud on top of the barn and a cold pile of snow on it's perimeter.

The group got out of the car, cannot believe the sudden change of weather in the place, "You think whatever's going on inside is causing the cold front?" Diego asked.

"Well, the correlation is high." Five answered.

"Sissy! Sissy!" Vanya called and then suddenly, the woman went out of the barn with a gun in her hand, pointing at them.

"Get back! All of you, just get the hell back!" She exclaimed.

"Sissy! Hey! Hey! What's wrong?" Vanya asked her, gesturing for her to calm down.

"Carl." She simply answered while looking at the others warily.

"What did he do to you?"

The blond woman with a gun shook her head while breathing heavily, "He's... He's dead." Vanya looked at Sissy, cannot believe what she heard.

"Harlan tossed him aside like a rag doll, same way you sent those policemen flyin'. What did you do to him?" Sissy explained and asked with her Texan accent.

"No..." Vanya tried to explain but the anger and confusion of the woman was controlling her.

"What the hell did you do to my son?"

"Don't have time for this." Diego stated and was about to get in but was stopped by Sissy who pointed the gun at him.

"Where you think you're going?"

"To help your son." He answered, impatient but still wanting to help.

"Look, Sissy, I found my family. These are my brothers, my sister, and a friend." Vanya explained pointing to the people behind her.

Sissy calmed down and looked at them, the energy cracking from inside the barn was the only thing that could be heard as the blond woman observed them.

Luther who showed up to her doorstep before raised his hand, "Ma'am." He greeted with a smile.

"Were you lyin' to me the whole time?" Sissy asked to Vanya-panting, probably too overwhelmed at the situation.

"Of course not. Look, I didn't know who I was. But I do now. And we are not the monsters that they say we are. We did not kill the president. We are not terrorists. We're not here to hurt anyone." Vanya explained, trying her best to convince the woman.

"Then..." She softly panted before continuing, "Who are you?"

"The only one who can help Harlan."

And with that, Sissy was finally convinced and let them in the barn.

Vanya rushed in, "Harlan? Harlan, it's Vanya!" She called out to the child who was gasping and floating in mid-air.

The rest of them went inside as well.

Amura who looked around in anxiety felt like she was going to suffocate.

A breath was stuck in her throat when she recognized a specific spot.

The spot where Five's blood scattered on the hays, his undead body laying on top of it.

She snapped out of it when Five held her hand and looked at her in the eyes, never saying a word yet speaking a million ones with his green orbs.

Amura took a deep breath to calm her nerves and squeezed Five's hand, smiling softly at the boy as a thanks for his comfort.

The two turned their attention back to Harlan and Vanya, the boy was still gasping, not even a word seems to be reaching him.
