Faith.

Chapter 3

As i stepped over the threshold of the apartment i have to admit i was surprised at how... plain it seamed. the whole apartment consisted of a what i assumed could only be a single bedroom, a small bathroom and a combination of a kitchen that looked like it had never been used in its sad little lifetime and a living room with a shredded and faded brown leather couch smack in the middle of it. The old looking couch was facing a small prehistoric TV that had an antenna perched on top of it larger than the TV itself.

Seated on the couch was a boy that i could only ever compare to an armoured truck. His muscles rippled under his faded red shirt as he smacked his large fist against the side of the tv yelling. "C'mon you piece of shit. Work!"

Out of the corner of my eye I noticed Luna silently sulking in the corner sitting in a pale armchair that looked like it had been through the war. Her legs were slung across the side and Lunas arms were tightly crossed over her chest her angry gaze fixed on something in the opposite corner of the room. 

Mike lazily slouched down next to the older boy and sighed "Hey man, whats the score?"

"Well... I'd happily provide you with this information, if this dumb TV ever decided to work!" The boys furious voice boomed through the room. The nameless boy ran a chunky hand through his brown floppy hair and turned his gaze towards me. His brown eyes carefully looked me over. On impulse I snapped at him "Take a damn' picture it'll last longer". "Oh don't mind if i do." A devilish grin spread across his face. I quickly looked down my face flushing with hot blood and he erupted in hearty laughter. "Hey, you want some coffee?" A sweet voice asked me.

When  i slowly turned my gaze back up i found that the owner of the smooth voice may as well have been the most beautiful woman i have ever laid my eyes on. My voice got lost somewhere in my throat and i was unable to answer or react in any other way apart from staring wide eyed straight at her mesmerized. The womans well kept eyebrows were inched up and her perfectly full lips were parted in a million dollar smile. Her caramel brown hair fell past her chin framing her face to full perfection. Her eyes were the real mystery. "Y-your eyes. " I managed to croak out. Instinctively i brought my hand up reaching out towards her symmetrical face. As soon as I realized what i was doing i dropped I forced my hand to drop at my side. Her eyes. They were a pure turquoise colour and they, shimmering. No, more like, they were glowing. For a dreadful second everyone but the chattering TV stayed quiet staring at me with blank expressions. The giant boys deep laughter shattered the silence.

I clenched my fists and spat out at him "Oh don't pee yourself! That couch has been through enough trauma already." 

"Oh grow up Tyler! At least she made a better first impression than you" The womans smooth voice filled the room again seaming to ease the tension. The older buy quickly slumped his shoulders and, he blushed. I raised my eyebrow questioningly at the two but decided not to bother with any questions. "Oh where are my manners." The woman turned her gaze back towards me and I once again became tongue tied. "My names Skyler but I guess you could call me Skye." She offered me her hand to shake and dazzled me with an infectious smile. I couldn't help but allow a smile creep across my tired face. As her fingers wrapped around my clammy hand i had to fight with all the power in me the urge to just let my knees buckle beneath me. I quickly pulled my hand back and cradled it against my chest. "Are you okay? You look a little pale." Skyler pressed her lips together and withdrew her own hand. "Y-yeah. I'm okay. I think. My throat it's.." I swallowed hard and winced. " It feels raw." 

"Yo, new member of the dazlle team! 'Names Tyler." The brown eyed boy said and lifted his fist. "Rose." I hesitantly bumped it back. Tyler winked before turning back around and once again slamming his giant fist on top of the TV trying to get the image to clear up. Mike shook his head and chuckled at his friends rage. "Watch it blondie" Tyler said and punched Mikes shoulder. "Hey asshole! Not fair!" Mike laughed and rubbed his shoulder.
