Kid

61

Neon went wide eyed, "W-wait... you... why do you think you killed Jasmine?" Neon asked.

Ava shook her head, "not just Jasmine, but I'm not sure..." she cried as she hugged her knees, "I don't remember anything... I woke up and she was dead and I wasn't at home! I was at the windmill and I..." she took a shaky breath and blew her nose, "I don't know what's happening to me. I've been blacking out, waking up in the streets, outside of town... I was in the same house as the Puddle Family when they were murdered..." she cried again.

Kid looked to Neon with wide eyed shock. Neon was still trying to put everything together, "why do you think you did it though? What makes you think you did any of it?" he asked. She was little Ava, Kid could probably beat her in a fight, hell, a rabbit probably could.

She needed help opening a peanut when they were kids, she's was a harmless person, how could she suddenly just decide to kill the entire Puddle Family and Jasmine?

"I keep waking up with new problems... scratches on my arms, missing finger nails, blood that isn't mine... but I never thought I did any of this, or I hoped badly I didn't do any of it," she cried holding her legs. "I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't know why I did it..." She shook her head in disbelief of herself. "You've got to help me, Neon," she whimpered, "I don't know what happened, I can't remember anything."

Neon shook his head, "you must be confused or something Ava. You're you, you don't go around killing people, surely," he informed.

"But Neon, I had blood on my hands, I was in the windmill and now Jasmine is dead," she informed.

Neon sighed, "okay... how long has this been happening for?"

"A couple of month's maybe... I honestly don't know," she informed leaning her head on her hands.

"Ava?" someone called, the door was suddenly opened, and basically a boy version of Ava walked in, he was taller, more masculine and had similar facial features to Ava, but really dark brown hair or light black hair. At first he stared directly at Ava, but then he saw Kid and his attention eventually found Neon.

He hardly recognised Neon for a moment, but he added time and basic memory to little boy Neon's body and came up with Neon before him. He nodded, "Neon."

Neon nodded to him, "Noah."

Noah's attention went back to his sister, "Ava, what are you doing here?" he asked kneeling down before her.

"I came to talk to Neon, I thought he might be able to help," Ava confessed.

"Ava, I thought we agreed that those were just nightmares," Noah hissed, "we talked about this, sis. And it's not a good thing to to talking to others about it."

Ava sighed as Noah turned his attention back to Neon, "haven't seen you in a while," he informed standing, "why did you come back? Usually people want to leave and never come back."

Neon could practically feel the stabbing of accusations in Noah's words and written all over his face. He was honestly glad Ava and Kid were in here or he feared Noah may have gone off at him. Growing up, Neon and Noah use to be friends, but Noah was always considerably bigger than him... that trait had not left yet.

"I came because of your sister," Neon explained bluntly.

He decided to let Noah's imagination take that a few places before continuing, "My friend Kid here brought her to my attention and I thought I'd drop in and see how everything was going. From what Mel and Ava have shown me this place had been improved tenfold," Neon informed.

"An improvement would probably be to take the place down and for everybody to be homeless in Delco City or something," Noah informed.

Neon nodded, "Trust me, it's not as good as it sounds."
