Deception

Chapter Four

The glass slowly spreading across the air as my sister's screams slowly stop, looking over at her, her head in the back of the seat. I see something, almost human like, blood all over it slowly running away from the vehicle as my parents and sister lay motionless. I here an alarm echo throughout as I open my eyes to find hunter smiling at me, that white gorgeous smile shining at me, eyes such a beautiful blue.
"Ready, quintin?" He says, smiling and picking up the back pack
"Yeah!!" I say, excited and ready as I get out of bed, looking out the window, the night sky rushing over everything with the Stars being the only light. I smile, looking at hunter, who is putting fingerless gloves on with a black shirt and pants, Same as myself. I open the backpack again to double check to see that we have everything. There is two cartons of eggs and two flashlights. I zip the back up and I put it on as hunter smiles.
"Everything good and ready to go?" He asks, smiling.
"Yeah! Let's do this!!" I say, slipping on my sneakers. He smiles and he opens the door and walks out as I follow him, us both walking across the yard and to the road, looking so sneaky and superb in the dark, so adventurous.
"Do you know where scotrick lives?" Hunter asks, looking down at his hands, fixing his gloves, his jaw line showing perfectly.
"Yeah, he lives by the village in" I say back, smiling. Us both still walking, getting closer to our destination.
"So you and ashley, huh?" He smiles, teasing me.
"I-i dont really know... I mean I like her.. but I just want to get through high school haha" I say, blushing and smiling.
"Aweee.... come on quintin haha! She is your fantasy girl! I bet she is why you spend the extra time in the shower haha!!" Hunter says, playing around with me, laughing and smiling.
"Shut up hunter haha!! So who do you like?" I say, smiling and still blushing about his comment about the shower.
"I don't really like anyone like that, I'm more of a solo guy, unless it comes to you, I love being around you haha" He says, smiling me and bringing me into a hug slash snuggle, us both still walking along the road, passing houses separated by trees and lawns.
"Awee... I like being around you too hunter!" I say, smiling and blushing a little. Reaching scotrick's house, next to the village in but still a little away from it. A two story house, yellowish in color and I hardwood front door. All the lights off. We silently snicker and we grab the eggs from the back pack, starting to Chuck them at his house. The eggs exploding on impact and making a thud and cracking noise, making a mess everywhere. We keep throwing them, one after another, emptying the cartons and smiling and silently laughing. I turn around to put the eggs back in the backpack as hunter flicks his wrists, cleaning off the mess on his hands, smiling.
"We did a good job! Haha" He whispers, smiling widely.
" yeah!! Haha" I whisper back full of adrenaline and smiling, putting the egg cartons in the backpack as something infront of us catches my eyes. Something, someone in a black cloak walking behind the small market and down the hill as I grab hunters arm and show him just in time before the figure dissapear all the way.
"What the fuck..?" He whispers as I quickly and quietly follow the figure, hunter following behind me. I stop at the edge of the blue building, looking down the hill, the black, cloaked figure walking across a small stream and into the woods. I quietly follow the figure with hunter beside me, jumping across the stream and walking into the woods, hiding behind trees and staying low. The figure finally stopping, inbetween two trees spaced out about ten to fifteen feet. The figure removes the hood and my jaws drop. Beth. Beth! Beth? The figure is beth, she pulls out the journal and takes her hand, moving it in weird motions and signals as I go to fix my uncomfortable position, accidentally stepping on a stick. The stick cracking and beth going still turning around. Me and hunter step out and show ourself.
"Beth..? What are you doing..?" I say, hunter confused and a worried face rushing over her.
"Why are you out here quintin!? What were you even doing in town!?" She spits back, looking at us both.
"We were egging scotrick's house! Now tell us what your doing!" I say, hunter beside me.
"I-i.. I'm a witch... this world isn't what it seems.. there is so much more to it, like elvens, angels, demons, trolls!" She says, a dead seroius face on her.
"Oh yeah? And I'm Santa clause!" I say sarcastically as she stares at me, flicking her wrist toward me as I fall onto my back, hunters eyes widening and helping me up. We both stare at beth.
"I told you... " She says, looking down.
"How come you never told us..? About any of this!?" Hunter speaks up.
"Because.. you have to be born a witch or one of those other things in order to see any of it.. and I was looking for a way so you guys could see first! I think I found one!!" She says, her eyes lighting up. She flips through her book and with one hand holding it, takes the other and starts moving it around, making signals and hand motions, mumbling words that I can't comprehend. My eye sight flashing white and then everything back to normal, hunter blinking his eyes.
"I think it worked!!!" Beth says, excited as she turns around, me and hunter giving eachother a confused and weird look. Bethany starts doing the hand motions again, inbetween the trees. Something with air starts happening, something weird and magical, the air morphing into waves of what almost look like water. Two huge gates appearing, then tall wooded walls with men ontop with bows staring down at us. The men dressed in leather armor, the bows wooded and glossed to a supreme finish. The bows pulled back at me and hunter.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE THEY!" One shouts, staring at beth but the bows at hunter and I.
"They are my closest friends, it's okay" She says back, defending us.
"The council isn't going to like this!!!" The other one says, glaring at beth.
"The council already knows, just trust me and let us in!" She sneers back, you can hear the lies in her voice as the gate slowly opens and my eyes widen, the most adventurous and magical thing I have ever seen.
