Chapter 7 Stranger?

John's p.o.v.

I wake up really early in the morning, like 9:30 in the morning. Why? Because I got a texted from Dave saying to meet him and jade at the park at 10 in the morning! I quickly get out of bedand get ready. I walk out my room only to see Jane leaving her room. "Oh, hey john. What are you doing this early up?"

"I was about to go to the park." I said

"Oh well I could drop you off if you want." She suggest and I agreed. We ended up at the park 30 minutes later and she dropped me off and drove off to do whatever she needed to do. It was about 10 and I didn't see Jade or Dave anywhere. I went walking around the park only to bump into someone and we both fell to the ground. "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." They said "oh it's ok, I should've been watching where I was going also." I said getting up and looking at them, holding out my hand for them to grab. They look up at me and grab my hand, I help pull them up. "I'm john, what's your name?" I asked smiling.

Zexia's p.o.v. (Didn't expect that did you!)

Heya! I'm zexia makara! Gamzee's and kurloz's little sister. I may not look like them with the lack of face paint but trust me, I'm just as crazy as they are. Ok that's a lie I'm not that crazy but I do love faygo! It's the greatest drink ever! Moving on, my brothers were always so protective of me ever since I was a little wiggler. I was always homeschooled, I was never allowed to to date anyone and I am NOT allowed to ever leave the house! But what am I suppose to do when my brothers are out doing their jobs? Just stay inside? No! So whenever my brothers leave I sneak out the house and go outside to see how humans are. My brothers always describe humans as terrible people to me but the humans I see everyday are super nice and always friendly. My brothers just probably met the wrong people but I'm still cautious by the people I talk to.

Today my brothers left early because of some job emergency? I honestly don't know where they work. They said that I will get to see and probably work with them soon so I'm excited! Anyways, once they left I snuck out the house with my black backpack full of my sketch supplies and went walking to a new park I've been wanting to go to for awhile. On my way to the park I saw a beautiful blue butterfly fluttering all around me. I was following it and surprisingly it was going the same way the park was located. I smiled and started to chase after it only to run into someone. I fell to the ground and so did the person I bumped in to. "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't looking where I was going." I said dusting myself off "oh it's ok, I should've been watching where I was going also." They said, I hear them get up and I look up seeing their hand out. I grab their hand and they help me up off the ground. "I'm john, what's your name?" The human boy john asked me, smiling "I'm zexia, thanks for helping me up." "No problem." John said

"I've never seen you around here before, are you new?" John asked

"Oh no, I just wanted to come to this park since I've never been here before." I tell john

"Oh well I'm glad you came to this one, you seem really cool." John said happily

"Thanks, you seem cool too." I said smiling

"Hey john!" I hear and behind john I see a boy with blonde hair and a girl with black hair "hey dave! Hey jade!" John smiled waving to the two other humans behind him "who's this? Oh! Is this your girlfriend~?" The blonde kid said, making me laugh by how wrong he was "d-dave! We just met!" "Hehe, sorry dude. Sup, I'm strider, Dave strider." The blonde boy said. He grabbing my hand and kissed it, acting like a gentleman which made me giggle "hi! I'm jade! Ignore dave, he's always trying to impress the ladies" The black haired girl said giggling "guilty as charge." Dave says chuckling "well it's nice to meet you both, I'm zexia!" I smiled to them "well it was nice meeting you zexia and we would love to stay but we actually have to go somewhere." Dave said, starting to pull john and jade away "sorry zexia, we should hangout soon." John yelled "we should, see ya!" I yelled seeing them leave.

I go to a spot in the park and sat down on a picnic bench, pulling out my sketch book from my bag. I start to think of what to draw until I thought of john, dave and jade. I remembered what they were wearing and what they looked like and I started to draw the three of them together. The three of them seemed really cool but there was something off about them but I just can't put my finger on it? Oh well it's probably just nothing.

John's p.o.v.

I was dragged away from zexia by dave. He was taking jade and I to the bunker. It was in the forest behind some trees and under a few bushes. "Why did you text me so early?" I asked dave "aradia said to come quick, it was something about a surprise?" Dave said and we all entered the bunker. Once we all made it down the stairs we were immediately welcomed by aradia "hey guys, so last night after you guys left one of the heroes actually captured one of the villains." She said which made our jaw dropped "who is it?!" Jade asked "it's mr.warlock, he's down in the cells with sollux." Aradia said leading us down to the cell room. We get down there seeing sollux yelling at mr.warlock through the jail cell bar. "Look here fish breath! You are gonna give us answers or I will personally come in there and kick your ass again!" Sollux yelled

"I'm not talking, especially to a dumb piss blood like yourself!" Mr.warlock yelled back

"That's it! I'm coming in ther-"

"Stop fighting!"

Everyone froze, we looked up the stairs and saw feferi coming down. "Fef?" Mr.warlock said surprised "hello eridan." Feferi said

"Wait, how do you know his name?" Jade ask

"It's a long story." Feferi said looking over at eridan who I'm assuming is his name.

"We have time, it's better to tell us now so we understand the situation." Dave said to feferi. Feferi takes a deep breath and begins the story.
