Life series "Lighting AU"

Grian, an Illness and the Watchers magic

Grian, Joel and Tim looked at each other with big eyes and a squint of fear.

The dot cycled in front of them.
Red, green, red, green, it kept going.
Before eventually slowing down.

Each switch of colour felt as heavy as a rock.
Grian looked over to Tim who looked scared and before he could look over to Joel, the dot disappeared and his vision turned green.

Grian expressed a breath of relief.
He put his hands on his knees and needed a moment to calm down.

After a few seconds he felt Tim's hand on his shoulder. Both looked at each other, relieved.

"I'm not the Boogeyman dude and I don't think you are either"
Tim said almost as if he was out of breath.

"I'm not as well Tim" Grian said grinning before looking over to Joel.

Joel just stood there, as if he was frozen.
He took his Sunglasses off and looked over too them.

"It's me, I'm the Boogeyman.."
He stuttered, dropping his sword.

His eyes were now fire red and filled with sorrow.

"Hey that's... That's okay.."
Tim started, not knowing how to finish his sentence.

"We'll help you."
Grian stated determined, almost angry, before spreading his wings.

"I'll look for a target"
Grian reported before taking off to the skies.

He ignored Tim's and Joel's shouting as he flew to the skies.
It didn't take him long to find a small house and a few people near it.

"perfect"

he thought to himself while checking the terrain for hiding spots.

After a few minutes he found a small hill. He landed and hid behind it, spying on the four people near the small hut.

"Look I can't stay here with you and the children" a man demanded.

It was the same man that had been in the cave earlier.
White hair, dark eyes, pointy ears and a sharp humongous axe.
He still looked tired and was bleeding through a bandage he had tied around his upper arm.

"Etho, if you leave now, then I can't let you come back" a women shouted sorrowful.

"Then I'm sorry Cleo..." Etho muttered, before grabbing his horse.

"I'll miss you three.." He said while he sluggishly walked down the path away from the house.

Grian ducked down turning his back to the people Infront of the house.

"So Chloe is the woman, she looked so angry" Grian thought trying to remember the interaction, as well as the other people and their looks.

"She had bright orange curly hair and a pale green skin. Her face had stitches right down the middle. She wore clothes that looked very colourful. A pink bodysuit, a ton of chains, earings, leg/- and arm warmers. Kinda the opposite of Ethos Teachwear or the bad boys punk style...."

Grian could barely finish his own thought before he saw the tip of a sword Infront of his chest.

He looked up from his patched up red sweater to look at a new face.

Before him there stood a guy with long-ish hazel brown hair, that was tied into a loose bun. He had pointy ears and a huge scar on the side of his face, down to his neck and maybe even to his chest.
