Save Our Heavy Dirty Souls

Chapter 10~ I Don't Wanna Fall Away.

~Akira's P.Ø.V~
We decide to walk to a nearby diner to grab a bite to eat. Josh and Domo wall ahead of Tyler and I, holding hands. Tyler and I walk with an awkward amount of space between us. Tyler clears his throat, "so that's my hoodie....?" I nod slightly. "It looks nice on you." Tyler says, awkwardly, looking away. "Thanks." I mumble. "Hold hands." I hear Domo whisper. Tyler looks at me and then at NY hand, "may I?" He asks. "You may..." I reply. Tyler slides his hand in mine slowly. It feels right, to hold hands with him. The diner we go in is quiet and its a nice environment minus a light in the corner that flickers a little. A figure dressed in all black sits in that corner, two others dressed in black sitting across from him. Tyler's grip on my hand tightens slightly. "Can I help you all?" A waitress asks from her spot behind the counter. She has an eerie vibe to her, and she not dressed like a normal waitress would dress, she wears a skin tight black shirt that shows much cleavage, and it only covers to her belly button, she has on a skimpy leather skirt and a leather collar to match. Her hair is pulled into two pigtails and her lips are covered in red lipstick, as she smacks on a piece of gum. "Y'all caught us just in time, dears. We were just 'bout to close, I just changed." She says, motioning at the empty stools in front of her, we take a seat. "We'll just take whatever your special is." Josh says, looking around, suspiciously. "Alrighty." the woman makes her way into the back. "We're being stared at...." Domo whispers. Tyler and I look back at the table under the flickering light. The figures are indeed staring at us. We're brought back to reality by the sound of four plates being layed down in front of us.

~Tyler's P.Ø.V~
As the others eat I poke at my food, something about those people in the corner.... Its unsettling but, familiar in an odd way. The waitress pushes a napkin towards me on the sly as Josh, Domo and Akira are engaged in a not so serious conversation. I look at the napkin, call me sometime ;) ~ Candi. I look at the waitress and she winks at me. I ball the napkin up. That's when I get an eerie unconformable feeling. "Josh..... We need to go now." I say, pulling Akira to her feet. Domo and Josh stand. "Why?" Akira asks. "Don't question it, dear." I say, pulling Akira to the door but as I expected the door is locked. "Fuuuuuuck, everybody duck!" I scream, pulling Akira down with ne as I dive to the side, Josh dives to the opposite side with Domo as a huge ax lands in the place where we were just five seconds ago. "Awwww! That's no fun!" A eerie laugh rings through the room, Candi, one of the most dangerous Demons to roam the Earth, she works side by side with the dark side of the council, in order to rid the Earth of humans. "Pretty dumb, trying to pull a trick you've played before." I say, helping up Akira, who's coughing a little. "Candi. Why didn't I know." Josh says. "Aw, y'all have missed out on a lot, now I see why." Candi glances at Domo and then Akira. She's analyzing her chances to kill. I lean towards Akira's ear, "when I let go of you run for the window and count to three then drop." I whisper, she nods. I let go of Akira and she runs towards the window, Candi sees her and goes after her, 1.....2......3. Akira drops and Candi flies right through the window. The three figures in the corner rise as Domo, Josh and I rush for the window. I help up Akira, who's covered in glass and blood. Her blood.. Its fresh.... Pure..... I snap out of my trance and I drag Akira with me as the four of us run back to the car. "What was that about!?" Domo asks. "A long story we aren't qualified to explain." I say as we make it to the car, Josh had came here with Akira and Domo and I walked, so there's only one car. Josh gets in the drivers side with Domo on the passenger side and Akira and I stumble into the back as Josh pulls off quickly. We all let out a sigh of relief.

~Domo's P.O.V~

I looked at Akira. We're both thinking the same thing. 'what was all that about?'. Akira and I kept sharing glances. The car is quiet as I notice Josh glancing at Tyler in the rearview mirror. "What the FUCK was that back there?!" Akira screams, breaking the deadly silence. "Tyler...." Josh says. Tyler lets out a sigh of defeat. "Fine we'll explain but we can't now..." Tyler says. "Why not?" I ask, looking back at Tyler, his arms are around Akira protectively as she cries quietly into Tyler's shirt. She must be terrified.... "It's not safe to talk about it out in the open like this." Tyler says, running his hands through Akira's hair. Josh is driving on the back roads, taking roads I never knew existed. "Josh.... Our place. they'll expect us to go back to theirs." Tyler mumbles to Josh. Josh nods and he changes directions. "What about our shit?" I ask. "We'll go back for it, love." Josh says, resting one hand on mine. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.
