Stars-Crossed

Beckett Barlowe

Beckett and Cassiopeia had been friends since the age of five. They dated for a few weeks, before he realized he was gay. And Cassi was totally fine with it. She didn't have her own feeling for him. Though, Cassi had dated a few people, and never caught feeling for them neither.

But Beck couldn't live without Cassi. So when he heard she'd left home, he tracked her, and found her. He just didn't know he'd find her with satins offsprings. He definitely didn't imagine them to look the way they did. He was practically drawling over himself staring at the sun kissed skin of Zagon. The way he smiled when he spoke to his sister, or how his eyes beamed his favorite color of red.

His eyes only shifted away from Zag, when Cassi began telling him how demons and vampires were real. His heart churned. No, Cassi, it's not like any of that sounds bad. Yet, nothing had scared him as bad, when he heard about them going to find The doors of Hell.

"I'm so glad I left my parents a note saying I'm going to be gone for a while." Beck said. "How did you break this to your parents?"

"I didn't." Cassi said. "I just... left."

"Without saying a word?"

"You know the way the treat me." Cassi said. "I'm doing them a favor."

"A favor?" Repeated Beck. "They're going to be worried sick."

  Cassi merely shrugged. Beck knew that her parents didn't care anything about her, but he was just trying to bring a spark up. It did not, it seemed to make her uncomfortable, as she rubbed her thumb across her palm, staring at it as she did.

"I'm sorry." He said. "This is just really strange.. I mean, our blood could've been suck dry during school, and we wouldn't even know what it was."

Cassi giggled. Beck saw the slight movement in front, Kas's red eyes turning back to Cassi, then foreword again, talking with her brother.

"Have you heard anything they've spoken about?" Asked Beck.

"No." Cassi said, loosening her hand. "Zag gave me headphones, so I was using them. I never really questioned what they talked about— why?"

Beck hummed. He was curious what they was up there whispering about. Why they kept glancing back every other minute.

"Hey, Kas." Beck said.

Her head turned back to them.

"Where's your horns?" He asked. "Do you have any, or do you just have red eyes?"

  Beck watched as Kas's eyes lingered to Cassi's face with a wry expression. A look that Beck gave when someone use to bring up boys in front of his parents.

Zag turned his head slightly. The twins both lifted their hands, hovering it over their heads wiping down, where two black curved horns appeared.

Zag had never been hotter. Beck had to catch his eyes before he noticed — the twins swiped their heads again, making the horns disappear.

Beck stuttered. "W-Wo- They look nice- I mean cool. They look cool."

Cassi elbowed him the moment they turned forward, continuing to walk.

"They look cool." She mimicked in a boyish voice. "Seriously?" Cassi whispered. "You couldn't think of anything else?"

"I don't exactly have the courage of Dean Winchester." He whispered back.

"What if I dare you?" Cassi grinned.

"Dared me to do what?"

"You think I don't see you staring at his ass?" Cassi said quietly. "Or lick your lips when you stare— Is that a little bit of drool?" She smiled, circling her finger at his mouth.
