Sterling Estate (discontinued for reconstruction)

Chapter 21: Floating Questions

Dylan eventually gets the chance to slip away from Percy. However he doesn't know for how long as he knows that Percy has a radar on everyone in a 100 mile radius. Dylan even took extra caution in not teleporting himself to where Rae was. As Percy seems to have a cell tower signal for whenever they do. This is why their favorite game hide and ditch Percy quickly becomes unamusing. So that left him trotting the hallways trying to figure out which library Evealyn and Rae were in. As if one library wasn't enough but 7 of them. He wonders who could really need so many libraries on their property. Being near the fourth library he sees Evealyn and Rae walking out.

"Am I late to the party?" Dylan asks, feeling frustrated that he might have missed out again. Feeling like he should have booked it when Percy was busy hauling crates out for a pick up.

Rae and Evealyn look at each other in agreement and nod. This makes Dylan confused, not sure what they're both hiding or what they're about to do. "Would you mind holding Misty for a moment?" Rae doesn't wait for him to answer and just hands off Misty to Dylan. Who is confused and cradling the feline like a small infant.

"Sure but explain to me why I'm holding her" Dylan not knowing where they're going with this or if it's some sort of prank. He finds it even more odd that Misty isn't making any effort to kick herself out of his arms like she usually does.

"Don't worry about that, just look at her eyes for a moment" Dylan squints his eyes suspiciously, definitely knowing something's up.

"Why do I need to look at her eyes exactly" Dylan questions

"Just do it and we'll explain why later" Dylan finds it suspicious as to why she's insisting that he looks into Misty's eyes. He looks over to Evealyn to see if she could give him any inclination as to what was going on. However Evealyn just points her to Misty as if to say just do it.

"I don't get why you both want me to-" Dylan had glanced down at Misty and instantly saw a flash of visions run through his mind making him feel terrified, confused and overwhelmed. Dylan stared off into space for a moment trying to process what had just occurred. "What...WHAT WAS THAT?" Dylan shouted with bated breaths demanding an explanation about that horrifying experience that he'd just endured.

"Welcome to the metal torture club, though sadly I don't think any therapy will help us" Dylan is confused by Evealyn's words.

"Club? What club? This has got to be some sort of prank right?" Dylan isn't sure how they did it but those surreal visions of that entity chasing him certainly do make him want to see a psychiatrist right about now.

"If only it was, sadly that's just a terror I had to deal with for the past two... three days or so." Evealyn said

Dylan honestly doesn't know what to say to that nervously chuckling "Then what was that thing?" he asked

"If only I knew but it didn't give me an introduction and went straight to trying to kill me I guess." Evealyn says, honestly she wished she had the answer to that herself.

Dylan tries to reel himself in from the heart attack inducing experience he had to endure. To nearly sent him floating off into the furthest bounds of the afterlife. Misty lifts out of his arms floating in the air, Evealyn is astonished by this

"Okay, imma need one of you to properly explain this to me." Dylan says feeling his head hurt all of a sudden.

"We will but first put Misty down" Rae says, not liking that Misty is practically an air borne nuclear weapon right now.

"Oh I'll put her down but I need an explanation first" Dylan says, folding his arms, not sure what else they are hiding. His head feels like it's ticking.
