Everything was perfect in elmville, until the population started decreasing, more and more people vanished by the day. No one even noticed, everyone seemed as if nothing was happening as if the people who went missing never even existed to begin w...
"Johnathan please give your mom a chance." Alice says as she sits next to Johnathan on the bed.
"I don't think I'm ready... I thought this whole time she was dead, and my father never told me she wasn't. Where has she been all these years." Johnathan says looking at Alice
"Come back down stairs with me". Alice says as she grabs his hand
They head down stairs and head into the dining room. As they entered thru the doorway of the room they saw Johnathan's mother holding some blue shiny object. The object was floating in her hand, glowing as if it was an night light. It was something they never seen before.
When they looked up towards Johnathan's mother's face, her face was not her own. Her skin from her face hangs from her body, revealing another face. It was disfigured and mangled, not human. Johnathan's father's face was the exact same, he too was an imposter.
Johnathan grabs Alice hand as he came to realize that his father and mother was not his parents. They slowly backed away from the room trying to be as quite as possible.
They headed out the back door of the house, running to the nearest house on the next street over. They went into an house that was also abandoned.
"Johnathan who, what, is your parents they are not human". Alice says as she takes off the bandages off her hands. Her hands are now mostly healed almost normal.
"They was not my parents. They are not human for crying out loud. But I remember seeing them in the doorway of one of the buildings on the other side of town. I originally thought that I was hallucinating because I was in shock or something. It's more than them." Johnathan says
"Why you didn't tell me you saw them? And what do you mean by it's more than them?" Alice asks
"I saw Chris... I saw him too... He was with them. He was talking to them and looking constantly over his shoulder, that's why I believed I was hallucinating because he was GONE." Johnathan says as he pulls his hair on his head.
"Where did these things come from who are these imposters... Maybe Chris was not an imposter but actual Chris... What if Chris is on their side he was gone for so many years why now did he come back... What if the imposters work for the Memwards and the Watinds?" Johnathan says as he continues pulling his hair.
"What now... What are we going to do?" Alice asks looking at Johnathan
"We have no other choice but to go to your parents house. We must tell them all of this that's going on, we have no other choice. For tonight we can stay here in this house until tomorrow morning.
They headed to a bed room towards the back of the house. Exhausted from the long day. Alice takes off her shirt trying to get ready for bed. Johnathan shocked by her sudden undressing tries to look away, covering his eyes. He peeks thru his fingers stealing a glance.
"Johnathan stop peeking I'm changing." Alice says as she undresses.
Embarrassed about being caught in the midst of him peeking, his face turns red, blushing with embarrassment.
"I'm... I'm sorry Alice about that...I was hallucinating again." Johnathan says jokingly
"Johnathan..." Alice says "Yes" Johnathan says "Do this mean we are officially boyfriend and girlfriend?" Alice asks.
"What I thought we was already officially boyfriend and girlfriend." Johnathan says surprised at Alice's statement
They fall asleep, laying on the old, mold covered bed that was in the bedroom. As they slept Johnathan wraps his arm around her as she sleeps. Then Alice has a dream. A dream about her parents telling her to go to the Sal house and bring herself to believe that after tomorrow nothing will be the same.
Her parents Tell her, Johnathan and her have the Gift, the thing Dolan Smith wants. They tell her that they are the key to unlocking the truth behind the Elm Tree and its barrier. The leaders of the new world. They tell her goodbye and that even though she may not see them again that they will always be with her.
She wakes up startled, by the dream. she looks over at Johnathan who is snoring as he sleeps. She is tempted to wake him and tell him about her dream, which she knows is something more than a dream.
Unwilling to disturb Johnathan's sleep, she lays back down thinking. Wondering what's going to happen. Wondering if she'll ever see her parents again.
