Chapter 4: The shadow of an angel
Third Person POV
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
" 'Go spy on your aunt.' Mom said. 'It'll be fine.' Mom said. God, this sucks..." 4 sighed as he kept a close eye on his mother's latest experiment. He really just wanted to go to bed and forget about his life, but he much preferred not being killed for defying an order than sleep. He sighed tiredly, and watched as Starla hunted and devoured her prey, nearly puking and alerting her to his presence in the process. Regardless he observed the process and the effects of his mother's serum, how the pre-existing corruption grew and spread with every bite of flesh his aunt consumed. Once the process was done, and he was positive he hadn't been noticed, he flew away, back towards his 'home' and what-not.
He walked two feet through the door before he was effectively tackled. "4!!!! You're late, Eleanor and I have been waiting all day for you!!!" 4 looked up at his little sister Rose, pouty face and all. "Sorry, sorry. I got caught up with... Something." He chuckled slightly. "Well, next time try letting us know beforehand. You had us worried sick." Eleanor spoke softly as she helped her siblings up. "Now come on, you missed dinner but it could still be a bit warm." 4 smiled softly and nodded, heading to the kitchen. He looked at the food, moved it around a tad, and just grabbed an energy drink. Dinner was never a very appetizing meal to him, anyway. Once he finished, he went out to his sisters and watched as they tried playing one of Rose's games. "GRAAAAAAAAAH" "You can do this Rose, you just have to-" "ELEANOR, I APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP, BUT IT'S NOT HELPING!!!!!" He smiled to himself. "Need help, sis?" he asked, a smirk plastered across his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Later that Night~~~~~~~~~~
It was quiet. Rose was asleep. Eleanor was asleep. X was in their lab working. While 4 just sat in his room alone. So much was going to happen, and there was so little he could do to control it. He sighed quietly and went to his window. The night was.... Calming, the moon and stars lighting up the sky, everyone asleep, no one expecting anything. Just peace... But peace in itself can be a curse when you know deep down that it's only a matter of hours before it's over. He sighed again, and picked up his phone, dialing an oh-so familiar number.
"Hey, Luke..... Can we talk....?"
