Chapter 7

| DAVIDS POV |

I sprint out of the manor and Jimi follows behind. He points to where Jason ran off. The fire was almost over the trees and the trees are quite tall. People had taken the car already. I sprint as fast I could eventually figures of people came into my vision. Smoke was all around. Jimi covered his mouth and coughed a few times. I get up to the group. "WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS GOING ON HERE!?" Jason looked over. He was on his knees in front of the fire. Jimi rushed over and check on him but Jason ignored him at the moment. "I needed to know..what was happening out here!" He said. Merle stepped in. "There was a so-called demon out here.

 That's what the strange being called itself." A shiver ran down my spine. "Did you see what it looked like!?" Merle gave me a disappointed face. "WELL YEAH, I TALKED TO THE THING BEFORE IT DECIDED TO COMMIT ARSON!" He sighed. "It had a skull head of an animal with horns that seemed like a ram. It wore a dull red hat with a black velvet wrapped around the hat. He wore a matching red dull suit with some odd colored clothes under it. A green shirt and then a yellow button on top of the green. Green cuffs, black shoes..and-" I cut him off. "A red upside-down cross." He gave a questioned look. "How the hell-" I shushed him. "It doesn't matter right now can we PLEASE take care of this fire." 

Jimi and Jason had started to already take care of it. Merle nodded but kept an eye on me the whole time. Eventually, all that was left was burnt trees and black. Everything. I sighed and look at them. "We should head back since we haven't eaten" Nobody replied so I just started walking back. I heard a few footsteps behind me so I took it as they started to follow. I open the door and start heading over to Nick. I walk in and notice that his room was empty. No more boxes. I walk to Jack's room and find them both in there they seemed to have just been talking for the last few minutes. 

I randomly just hug them. My mind had taken over at that moment. These poor teenagers already have been through so much. "Shall we go eat?" They nodded and smiled. We stood up and walked to the dining room. Akram came out and set certain breakfasts down for each of us. Where we sat. We say grace then eat just like every other day. After people were done they weren't their separate ways. Jason and Jimi back outside to the van. Akram back into the kitchen. Merle to his room.  Nick and Jack ran off down the hall somewhere. I decided to just head to my room.

| JACKS POV |

I drag Nick over to my room and close the door behind us. I head over to the window and unwind it for it to open. He tilts his head and raises an eyebrow. He walks over and leans over to help me since I was off the ground trying to open it. "Why exactly are we opening the window?" he questions. "So we can go outside and do something without being asked where we are going," I reply. "But couldn't we just" I cut him off. "No." I move the journal and papers over and get on top of the table. "If we want to do something fun we need to sneak out," I said while peeking my head out of the window. 

I notice a car driving down the trail within the trees. A familiar grayish-blue car. I back out my head and start to shut the window. "I thought we were leaving?" Nick says. "Change of plans a family is over." I fully close the window and get off the table. Nick helps me move things back to normal then we walk out of my room. Some other members were at the entrance to welcome them. I liked this family since the children were around my age and were nice, funny, and understood. 

Nick and I line up with the rest of the family and the doors open. A smile comes across my face when I notice the first one to enter. Seth. Seth is my favorite out of the family since we're more close. Matthew enters, then Clair. But their father doesn't come in someone else does. A man that wore a brown leather jacket and some blue jeans. He had a  leather baseball cap on and a dark brown beard. Nick started shaking and I patted his back. "You can trust them" I whisper to him. 

Seth walks over to me and opens his arms. He wore his usual red and lighter red striped shirt and jeans. I hug him and he hugs me back tightly. I look over at where Nick was and noticed he disappeared. I looked around and Seth noticed. Seth lets go of the hug. "Whats wrongs?" I look over at Matthew and notice Nick was talking with him. Seth slid over next to me and looked at where I was looking. "Matthew seems happy-" Seth says. "Yeah not like he's faking it" Matthew is the oldest of the three siblings. People call him "edgy" as he also acts edgy but he's a good older brother. 

Matthew took good care of Seth and Clair but better to Seth since they had the same interests. "Hey who is that kid?" Seth asks. "Oh yeah- that's Nick he's one of the three new family members" I walk over to Nick and Matthew dragging Seth behind me. "Hey matt," I say. "Oh- hello Jack." Matthew doesn't take his eyes off Nick. "Are you guys doing a staring contest?" Seth questions. "Yep," Matt replies. A few minutes pass by and Matthew has started trying to hold his eyes open. 

Suddenly Matthew blinks and he slaps himself gently. "Dang it! How are you so good!?" Nick just shrugged. "Guys follow me I want to do something cool," I said. "Is it cool though?" I ignore him and just start walking to my room. They all follow and I can tell Nick already knows what we're doing. I open the door to my room and signal for Nick to open the window. "Hey, Seth can you move the papers over." I already moved the journal so he wouldn't see it.
