DEVAB: Empty Thoughts

Chapter 3: Thank You!

It was 8:42 in the morning, everyone was resting, tired from yesterday, all seemed peaceful.
That was until Evanna got up, waking up both Brock and Darrell. They both groaned over waking up, even though this same act has happened before, first thing Darrell did was go up to Brock and ask him a simple question about a simple request:
"Did you get us any food?" Brock, who was trying to remain cool in his somewhat tired state, immediately jumped when he mentioned that, not because of shame, well, maybe a bit. But because of what happened last night, he has to explain what happened. He just started off with a sigh. "No, I didn't, but before ye get pissed at me, please for God listen before you unleash all hell!" Evanna shock when Brock said that last bit. Brock lowered down and added a quick comment in a whisper "Only Joking!" Evanna didn't ease up in the slightest. "Well, Brock, I would've been mad for that, but you scared our poor girl, you shouldn't mention anything under those around he-"
"Some dude was slamming some poor guy into the ground with a rubbish bin!" He shouted at him, shutting Darrell up, and causing Evanna to hide behind Darrell. Darrell picked her up and held her in for a hug. She was close to tears at that point, she hated seeing them like this. "There there, this isn't anything you have to worry about, we'll be ok, Eva." He comforted her, calming her down. Darrell then asked her to leave for a tiny bit and just wait for Brock and him to stop talking and they'd be out, so she followed without a word.

They both went back to the subject at hand and not about Evanna. "Brock, why would you bother with that? We aren't heroes for the public! You can't just go around and seek justice for every little thing!" Brock got a bit ticked at that "Don't you fucking dare belittle me with those words! Besides that's not even the point, it's the fellas face...their face..." Brock shivered recalling the event. "Their face wasn't...normal. They seemed dead inside, and their eyes, they were almost entirely yellow and only had small blue dots for pupils! There's something not right here, we should delay our holiday, stay around here and see what's going on." Brock insisted to Darrell. Darrell slid a almost invisible, static flickering wire out of his back and into Brock's head to read his mind. Sure enough, all of what Brock described was the truth. He wasn't lying.

Darrell thought about it for a minute, and came up with a solution. "Hm, that's actually odd, you shouldn't have done that by any means, but for once, this might be for a good cause, I do trust you." They both cracked a quick smile to show their gratefulness to eachother, even if they bicker. "But I don't want to ruin everything for Eva, she's already probably sad enough as is, for right now, so I think we'll just try travelling to our destination, but if we see anything weird, we are staying here and investigating, and even if we don't see anything on our way, we can come back and investigate later, is that fair?" Brock answered to Darrell without any hesitation. "Smartest idea I've heard you say in a long time." Slipping a sly smile "I'm on board with it, I also just want the best for our gal, let's just get outta this BnB atleast, let's make her feel better."

They both exited the room they were in and came to Evanna at the same time, she was just sitting on a chair looking at the ground until they came in. When they did, she just took a quick glance and looked at the ground again. Brock sat down next to her. "Hey, Eva.." Brock started off. "We both talked and we both made out of differences, everything's OK now nothing for ye to worry 'bout." Brock gave her a gentle pat on the back, before Darrell spoke. "Yea, if we see anything bad, we'll have to stay. If not, we're going to the beach. But we will have to stay here for a bit eventually." Evanna didn't smile at that, but Brock said something to cheer her up for sure. "But even if we do stay here instead, we can still go back to where we were heading, that's all good, ain't it?"

Evanna smiled. "Really? You mean it?" Evanna rose up, excited. The two men nodded, and she got do excited and she got both of them in arms for a hug. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You two are better than any dad I could ever wish for!" They both smiled at that and they all wrapped their arms around eachother, even if they don't get along most of the time, they will all be OK in the end, that ended their comfort session for eachother, and they all left the room to grab breakfast, and then they moved on with their journey to the beach, nearing the end of their journey, just one more day...
