John had forgotten where he was going. He was sure he was going to tell Remi about the guy who assaulted him in the alleyway, but his body decided to take him elsewhere.
His mind began to wander as he walked through the city straying further and further away from his group.
'Arlo is such a bastard, what the hell was his problem?' John thought, his eyebrows furrowing in frustration.
"Fuck..." the black haired boy muttered as he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Where the hell am I?" he turned his head to look behind himself and realized he was far from his group.
"Oh god.." John said in a shaky voice.
It was incredibly dangerous to be on his own, he had already been attacked since this trip started and it was because he was alone.
'I should ask for directions.' he thought, walking towards a small antique shop. The shop was a dark magenta, it looked to be worn down and barely holding together. He looked through the window to see an old woman standing behind a dark wooden counter surrounded by large tall shelves that held merchandise.
John opened the store's creaky scratched up door, a small bell above the door rung.
He stepped into the crowded store and felt his nose immediately get stuffy from the amount of dust in the shop.
"Uhm..Hello?"the black haired boy said awkwardly.
The old lady behind the counter turned towards John, "Ah, hello there young man, is there anything I can help you with?" she said with a gentle smile.
Now that John had gotten a good look at the lady, she had grey hair and was wearing a dark colored dress that appeared to be old fashioned.
"Oh uhm, could you maybe give me directions if it wouldn't bother you." asked John as he walked towards her.
"Oh of course, where do you need to go?"
"I'm trying to get to a store called...uhm...Kohls?"
"Here I'll draw it out for you." the old woman pulled out a small piece of notebook paper from a cabinet behind her, "So you start from the store right here and make you way down this street until you see the corner with the large sign that lights up." she explained as she drew on the paper.
"Thanks-" John tried to say before he was cut off by the door in the back of the store being broken down.
"Freeze!" said a man with green hair and blue eyes wearing all black, his eyes were lit up indicating his ability was activated.
"Dios mío..." John groaned and protectively raised his arm over the lady behind the counter, she whimpered and covered her mouth in disbelief.
"Stay behind me." he whispered to her.
"I said freeze damnit! I'm not afraid to use my ability!" the man growled and slowly walked towards the two with his hands glowing a reddish color.
John ran forward and kicked the man in the face, if he wanted to use his ability he would need to get the man to use it first.
"GAH- I WARNED YOU!" the green haired man shouted as grabbed John's leg and pulled out a syringe from his pocket. John would've had the ability to prevent it if he hadn't been caught off guard by the sudden attack.
"Shit!" John yelled as he tried to pull away.
He felt a something stab his leg and began to feel dizzy.
"no.." John groaned as his vision blurred and he fell backwards fainting.
"I wonder when John will come back because this guy might wake up soon.." Arlo sighed before walking out of the alleyway.
He entered the store the others were in only to realize John wasn't there, he felt himself begin to panic.
"Remi!" Arlo ran towards the pink haired girl standing beside the row of hoodies displayed on the wall.
"Huh?" replied Remi.
"Have you seen John?!"
"No, why what's wrong?"
"Fuck.." Arlo groaned and ran his fingers through his hair.
"Arlo what's wrong you're scaring me!" Remi grabbed his shoulders and shook him.
"Ok! JohnwasattackedandIsaidsomething's tohimandnowhe'sgoneandtheguywho attackedhimfromspectreisoutsideinthe alleyway!"
"Slow down!"
"JOHN WAS ATTACKED AND THE GUY WHO ATTACKED HIM IS FROM SPECTRE AND HES OUTSIDE IN THE ALLEYWAY RIGHT NOW UNCONSCIOUS AND JOHN IS MISSING!" Arlo shouted in frustration.
Everyone else in the store turned to look at him surprised, Blyke and Isen quickly ran towards Arlo and Remi.
"Holy shit..!" Blyke said in disbelief.
"Okay guys, me and Arlo will go search for John! Blyke, you and Isen can go take care of the spectre guy, CALL THE AUTHORITIES!" ordered Remi, quickly grabbed Arlo's wrist and dragging him out the store.
"That guy can never stay out of trouble!" Blyke groaned and ran outside the store as well, grabbing Isen's hand.
"GAh- SLOW DOWN STOP RUNNING!" shouted Isen.
"Arlo! Do you happen to know why he left?" Asked Remi as she ran down the streets with Arlo.
"Well- I might've said something's to him." Arlo panted and continued running.
"What did you say?"
"Some horrible things." Arlo replied with a frown.
"Lovers quarrel.." Remi muttered.
"For the last time Remi... WE ARENT DATING!" angrily shouted the blond haired boy.
"Okay jeez!"
The two ran until they reached a crowd of people surrounding a small antique store that had been wrecked and was surrounded by ambulances.
"Oh lord what happened over there?" Remi stoped running to take a breath.
"..." Arlo's blue eyes widened as he stopped as well.
'Please tell me John's not in there.' he prayed.
Arlo silently ran towards the store with a concerned expression.
"Hey!" Remi shouted as she ran after him.
