No One Knows
~ Queens of the Stone Age

"I journey through the desert
Of the mind with no hope
I follow

I drift along the ocean
Dead lifeboats in the sun
And come undone
Pleasantly caving in
I come undone"

I drift along the oceanDead lifeboats in the sunAnd come undonePleasantly caving inI come undone"

CHAPTER 23: HOMICIDAL RAGE

        "Okay, I agree. Something weird is going on." Nadine whispered to Five. The two walked closely together, some distance behind Luther and Older Five. The boy nodded at her and cracked his neck, starting at his knuckles right after.

        "Is Wren here? Could she figure out what they're talking about?" He questioned, twitching a little bit.

        Nadine shook her head and looked at the ground. "She hasn't been around much. Probably with Ben at the moment. Although I do have this weird feeling that something big is happening. I just don't know if that's my anxiety or a witch thing." She turned around when she realized Five had stopped walking with her up the stairs.

        "What are you looking at? See something funny?!" He shouted at a random person behind them.

        Nadine widened her eyes and stepped forward, taking him by the arm. She pulled him away from the interaction and made them continue on the trek towards the grassy knoll. "Jesus, Five." The girl whispered harshly, shaking her head.

        "Mind your business! Or I'll give you something to stare at!" He shouted at another person that passed them, starting to scratch at the back of his head.

        "Oh, my god. Shut your mouth." Nadine whisper-yelled through barred teeth. She continued to pull him and he squirmed in her grip trying to get out. "Let go of me, I'm fine." Five turned to her and tried to pull his arm out of her hold again to no avail. "Yeah, not gonna happen. This isn't The Truman Show. The only reason people are looking is because you're screaming at them." The girl smirked at him and he glared, turning to face the front again.
