Locked Away (H20Vanoss)

Chapter Twenty: Mr. Nobody

~Vanoss POV~

"MOO," we shouted out loud together.

"So let's go pay him a visit," Wildcat said with a huge grin.

"Ye-," I was cut off by a heavy knock at the door.

"I didn't invite anyone over here," Wildcat mumbled.

"It could be Brian," I said while grabbing a thick book that laid in front of me. "So you invite him in and wait by the door frame. Then when he comes in here, WHAM, I'll hit him with the book," I whisper shouted. He nodded and I tiptoed over to the door frame.

"Come on in," Wildcat bellowed. Slowly the creaked open and heavy footsteps walked down the hall. I gripped the book tighter and my muscles tensed up. Wildcat on the other hand was calm and laying on the couch. I snapped my attention back to the mystery guest that footsteps had stopped.

"Hello there person who I've never met but looks friendly," Wildcat said with a smile.

"Oh hello," said a male with a pinch of nervousness laced in his words.

"So who are you and what do you need," Wildcat said still smiling.

"I'm no one to you Tyler," said the male voice dropping the nervousness.

"Are you lost or confused," Wildcat said dropping his smile.

"No not at all. I'm not here to take you back but I just want to talk," the male said with a complete serious tone.

"Well come on in here and sit down," Tyler said with a forced smile.

"If your friend drops the book he's holding onto and comes out from behind the doorframe. Then I will gladly come on in," said the male as he tapped his foot out of annoyance.

"I have no idea what you are taking about," Tyler said trying to keep his fake smile up.

"Fine but if I get hit with a book I'll make sure you disappear forever Tyler," said the male before walking into the room. I took a deep breathe and dropped the book. It thudded onto the ground making the mysterious male glance over at me. He had oak brown hair, porcelain white face, and a large grin.

"Hello there," he said as he plopped onto the couch next to Tyler.

"Um hi," I said while forcing a smile like Tyler had done.

"Wow Evan how the time has flown," the male said as he relaxed onto the couch.

"My name is no longer that," I hissed with a glare following it.

"Woah calm down little boy. I'm not here to take any of you two just warn you both," he said as he threw his hands up.

"Warn us of what," Tyler huffed.

"Hey you two need to both calm down before I do my job," he said before he closed his eyes.

"You want us to calm down but you feel the right to just make yourself at home here. You haven't even told us your name," Tyler yelled at him.

"Names Nobody. Mr. Nobody. Happy?"

"Oh we are so happy right Noe can't you see our little grins. Wait no because you're going to a nappy wappy," Tyler said with an eye roll.

"Hey do you want your warning or not," he hissed.

"Fine," me and Tyler huffed out.

"Okay so people aren't who they seem they are and time changes so many people," said Nobody.

"Really that's it!" Tyler yelled.

"Oh and Tyler times ticking away for Craig," Nobody said with a grin tugged onto his lips. I watched Tyler's face go pale white almost matchings Nobody's face. "And for you Evan karmas finally is making it's round with you."

"What do you mean karmas coming and who is Craig," I asked Nobody.

"You see little Evan I can't answer those questions." He opened his eyes and sat up. "I'm just here to you warn you." He got off the couch and walked over to the doorway. "So listen to them or lose everything," he said before disappearing into the hallway.

"Tyler," I asked cautiously and waited for a barrage of yelling.

"That's my real name. How did he know Minis? No he can't be," Tyler said before looking up at me. "He might be who he says he is," Tyler said before trailing off into silence.

"Wait who is he," I asked Tyler.

"He's pretty famous all over for warning certain people of death of themselves or others. Sometimes he brings other warnings but never any good news," Tyler finished.

"I asked for his real name. You know what never mind. We're just wasting time till we have to let's go visit Brian and Moo," I said slightly annoyed.

"Okay let's go," Tyler yelled while standing up.

"First one to the house wins a hundred dollars ," I said with a smile. Tyler nodded walked over to me. I put up three fingers and mouthed three. Put down a finger again mouthed two. Put down another finger then put down my last finger. We were off and Tyler's leg was okay as ran. We ran neck and neck until I picked up my speed and dashed. Tyler didn't give up and he tried to pick up his speed. He got pretty close but slowed his run and was back in his original pace.

I slowed down when I saw Brian's small house. We were back neck and neck until Tyler tripped over a rock. I stopped immediately and ran back over to Tyler.

"Of course a rock tripped me," he groaned.

"Rocks just hate you," I said with a laugh.

"What did do to them," he whined as he stood up.

"You just didn't break em right." He patted the dust off of his pants. "Oh you know what maybe it was that one time when you were throwing rocks at everyone."

"Hey you threw rocks," he argued.

"Well maybe I threw them just right," I argued back trying not to laugh. He just shook his head and laughed. I couldn't help but laugh along until we were wheezing. I wiped my tears from crying to hard and spoke up. "Let's go to Brian's," I said with a smile stuck on my face.

He nodded and we walked down Brian's little stone path leading up to his house. His door was cracked open which was odd. Brian told me when we dated that no matter he always closed the door. So if I ever saw it opened at the slightest something bad happened.

I ran up his wooden stairs with a fresh coat of paint had been brushed onto earlier in the day and burst through the door. I stood in the doorway in complete shock. My mouth hung open and I stared at everything. I felt my stomach lurch and I felt light headed.

"What's wrong Va-," he stopped talking and pulled me into a hug.
"Please tell me it isn't real," I said as tears welled up.

"It's real dude," he said softly.
