The Legends of the Moon Gods

Chapter Four

Wesley's POV:

I was starting to get worried. Paige was getting more and more scared by the minute and I can tell. Her mother still wasn't here and almost everyone has filtered out during the storm to get to the comforts of their home. My brothers stayed here since it was MY car that we took here to the church and also the only car we had that has a GPS system so I could impute our new houses coordinates.

"W-Why isn't she h-here yet?... I-Is she o-okay?..." Paige whimpers, looking into my eyes and I just fluff her hair.

"She'll be here soon! I promise!" I hope... I think to myself. I see Dorian trying to get a signal to call somebody, probably mom so she can pick up the guys. Fleur was the only one who was being nice and sticking with me.

"It's alright Paige! We can keep you company until your mom gets here! Maybe she is just being cautious!" Fleur's tenor voice squeaks and I smile down at him and wink and he smiles in return. He always did look up to me. At least it wasn't Rascal... He was the druggy out of all of us. I ruffled Fleur's hair and turn my attention to Paige once more and my brow knits in concern for not only her but her mother. I notice the sky has gotten darker with more storm clouds. Night is becoming of the sky and I can't help but go to one of the pastors.

"Hey, Pastor Ed, its almost night and everyone but me and my brothers and Paige haven't left. I am starting to worry that Paige's mom has either forgotten about her or something is seriously wrong..." I speak a tad bit fast but the Pastor just calms me down and reassures me that someone would take her home.

"W-Wesley... I-I'm just walking home...." Paige starts getting her stuff and putting on her shoes, which the Father found and wrapped her foot.

"No! Don't do that Paige! I can take you home." I smile and the rest of my brothers perk up and race to the door. I sigh and yell back at them.

"PAIGE GETS SHOUTGUN!" My brothers groan and I snicker and help Paige gather her things and rush out to my vehicle. I hope into the drivers side and Paige sits, shivering, in the passenger seat. Fleur sits behind me, Rascal behind Paige and Dorian and Jordan where whispering in the back. I start the vehicle and back up, the wipers on the front window on high speed and drive slowly onto the main road that seemed empty besides a few passing cars and on occasion, the usual speeder. Paige gave me directions to her house but I go to my house first to drop off the brother.

"Dorian, Jordan, you guys are in charge of Fleur and Rascal while mom is getting the movers truck. I will drive Paige home and stay for a few hours to see if her mom comes home." I see Paige smile smalley at my plan which warms my heart.

"No can do Wesley!" They all get out, racing into the house, lamps coming on since the lights are apparently out and I reverse out of the driveway and remember Paige's instructions and drive her back home.

"C-Can I put m-my music on?..." She asks, having her iPod out and I smile.

"Go ahead!" I say delighted and she plugs the AUX cord into her iPod and a song I don't know starts playing. Half way through the song, I tap my fingers on the steering wheel and smile.

"What song is this? Its good!" I glance at her before refocusing on the road.

"I-It's Awake b-by Secondh-hand S-Serenade..." She smiles and I nod. She keeps it on the album which seems to be all Secondhand Serenade and I see her house. I turn into her driveway and park.

"We are here!" I get out and she does as well and we bolt to get on the porch with a roof and she unlocks her door, inviting me in and testing the lights. Nothing. She sighs and walks into a closet. I peak in and see a backup generator.

"Smart." I point out and she nods.

"Y-Yeah... I-I am a-afraid o-of being a-alone in t-the dark... S-So my mom g-got a b-backup generator s-so when s-storms like this c-come through.... I-I can still h-have light..." She comes out of the closet, closing the door and turning a switch, lights coming on. She walks into her living room, turning on the TV and turning it to the Weather Channel, and gasps.

"W-Wesley!...." She stutters from her living room and I walk in and see a huge ass storm that seems like it'll be here for a while...
