After All This Time

Chapter Six

Five and I pulled into the parking lot of the apartment complex Vanya lived in. I put down my kickstand, turned off my bike and got off. We started walking in front of a window on the second floor.

"That's her apartment." I say while pointing up at a window.

Five grabbed my wrist and we teleported into her living room. He felt around for a chair and found one next to a lamp. I stood there admiring her house for a minute. I then look down at Five's arm to see that it is bleeding again.

"Five, your arm is bleeding again."

"How can you see that? I haven't even turned on the light."

I look at the lamp seeing that its off. I pause for a few seconds.

"Maybe I can see in the dark for a while after shapeshifting?" I said questioning myself.

I walk over to him an pull up his sleeve to see that the napkin is pure red, and blood running down his arm.

"Oh god. I'll go and get some supplies to fix it up." I said as I rushed to Vanya's bathroom cabinet.

"You really don't have t-" 

I was already back with the supplies. Five finally turned the light on to see what I was doing. I got out some type of dabbing pad and squirt some acetone on it. I started dabbing it on his wound as he started to study my face, and then my eyes.

"What is it?" I say curiously.

"You know how your eyes are (E/C)?"

"Yeah, what about them?" I say as I put a dabbing pad on his cut and bandage it up.

"Well..."

I look up at him

"They are yellow now."

"What?!"

"I only started noticing them change their color when you shapeshifted."

I looked down in bewilderment.

"Maybe that's why you can see in the dark now?"

"Maybe..."

I walked back to the bathroom to put the supplies away. I walked back to the couch and sat confused about my eyes.

"Hey. Don't worry about it."

I gave Five a sarcastic smile.

He immediately turned off the light as we heard footsteps approach. Vanya unlocked the door entering the room. Just as she was about to turn on the lights Five turned on the lamp.

"Jesus!" Vanya said nearly jumping out of her skin.

"You should have locks on your windows." I said slightly teasing her.

"I live on the second floor." She took her keys out of the door and hung them up.

"Rapists can climb." Five responded.
