Living Color

21. Nowhere*

I never would of thought things would of spiraled so out of control in a matter of days since the Halloween Party. We've had to process so much information since our meeting with Arioch, the demon of revenge.

I feel like everything I know is a lie. We all do for that matter.

None of this is affecting anyone else, just our group. And we can't ask for help because who would even believe us. We need to understand why Arioch is doing what he's doing and we only have a matter of a few days to understand everything. There's only a few people we can get that information from...

Our parents.

They were the ones who put us in this mess and it's time they answered our questions.

Akira sets down her pen and closes her notebook. She picks it up and places it back in her desk drawer. As she sits up she makes her way out of her room and down the hall to the living room, where her mother was.

Akira anxiously stands in the hallway, staring at her mom, who is watching tv.

Her mom notices Akira staring at her and frowns in confusion, "What is it Akira? Your making me feel weird."

"Sorry Ma, but I wanted to ask you a question." Akira speaks up as she makes her way to the living room. She sits down beside her mom as her mother turns down the volume on the tv.

"What do you wanna ask?" Her mom curiously asks when she sees the seriousness in Akira's eyes and posture.

Akira lets out a breath of air as she prepares herself to explain everything that's happen.

Amber falls back on her bed, as she's staring up at the ceiling she hears a knock on the door. She looks up and sees Brian standing there.

"What is it Brian?"

Brian stands there quietly for a moment before speaking, "You sell drugs."

Amber coughs as she sits all the way up, "You remembered all that?"

Brian nods his head as he makes his way into her room, he sits down beside her.

"Our parents are gone...how are we gonna find them? We have no idea where they could be." Brian says as he lets out a sigh.

"Brian, I think I know where we could find them, but..."

"But what?"

Amber scratches the back of her head, "If we want to find them, we would have to go now so we can be back in time for everything to go down."

"That's fine. So you know where they are?" Brian anxiously asks as he leans in close to her.

Amber nods her head, "When we were little kids mom and dad would always talk about living in the Keys. I have a feeling they could be there."

"Where would we even look?"

Amber smirks, "I've actually already found them."

Brian gasps as his heart skips a beat, "You-...you did? When? How!?"

"After I found out what was happening I immediately sent a private investigator to go out searching for them. He called me last night informing me that had found them." Amber says as she stands up and walks over to the window. Brian sits there, thinking to himself.

"We need to go." Brian says as he looks up at her. Amber nods her head, agreeing with him.

"I was thinking the same thing. Let's go." Amber says as she heads to her closet and pulls out a suitcase. Brian runs out the room and heads to his room to pack.
