Denial

Part 3

Part 3 - Who The Hell Are You Guys?

Alex held up his half-finished art with a frown, he hadn't gotten to the line art and yet he already hated it. He sighed and ripped it in half, adding it to the growing pile of drawings.

"Why can't I get it right?" Alex huffed and looked over at the clock, it was 7:50 pm. He went back to sketching things when he suddenly had a strange feeling he was forgetting something. His eyes wandered back to the clock.

7:54 pm

Alex jolted to his feet, he quickly made a decision. Alex was going to go with Dean. He grabbed his backpack and ran towards his window, opening it up wide. He looked around his room sighed, before placing his most important items inside his bag. Things like his jacket, his lucky pendant, which he got from his grandad, a photo of him and his brother and his sketchbook and pen went inside. Alex gazed at his door and rubbed his forehead, not sure what to do. Finally, he ripped a page from his book and wrote a note to his parents and Felix.

Dear my parents and Felix,

I'm sorry to say this but I have run away and I won't be returning. Don't bother looking for me as I won't be in Origintale by the time you find my note. You'll find I left because of you. Dean and I, you can't keep us from being friends. We spoke over the phone and decided that we were leaving. Even with what you did, I still kinda care for you, or at least I still care about Felix, so stay safe.

Goodbye.

Alex placed the note on his bed and walked over to the window. He slung his bag over his shoulder and climbed out of his window, landing on an overhang that gave cover to a small flower bed. Alex quickly walked across the ledge and stood on the fence. He threw his backpack over the fence and started climbing over. Once on the other side, Alex took off into the night. He checked his watch and noticed it was 7:49 pm. He started to panic and began thinking that Dean would leave without him. He ran faster until he was sprinting down the back streets, hoping that he would make it there in time.

Please don't let me be too late...

The woman broke down a few seconds after the sudden realization of why her son had disappeared. Why did they do this? Why couldn't they just let him be happy? The memory of their king almost being murdered by a destroyer. 

But... wait. Didn't their king also have someone try and kill them? 

...Shit.

                                                                                             ***

Dean sat quietly on top of the lowest branch, waiting for Alex to show up.

Where is he? It's already 7:59 pm...

Dean shook his head and hopped off the branch. 

"Dean! Wait!" 

He turned around at the sound of Alex's voice and smiled slightly when he noticed he had a backpack. Alex reached his side and tried to regain his breath.

"I'm coming with you!" Alex stood up straight.

"That's great! But uh... I  just realized we have no way out of Origintale." Dean nervously laughed. Alex deadpanned and shook his head.

"My brother could help you..." A quiet voice piped up from the side. Alex and Dean turned to see a short kid standing before them.

"Okay, where is your brother?" Alex softly smiled down at him.

"H-He's over here. Follow me." The kid walked off, indicating that they should follow him.

Dean looked over at Alex and shrugged, before going after him. Alex mumbled something before following as well. 

'I'm Sean by the way. Sean Smith." Sean turned his head and smiled at the two of them.

"I'm Alex Wood and this is my friend, Dean Grey." 

"I suppose it's nice ta meet ya." Dean put his hands into his pockets and gave Sean a half-hearted smile.

Finally, they reached a meadow with a small fire in the middle beside two tents and sitting on a log was a 14-ish looking kid.

"That's my big brother! Jack!" Sean smiled and ran over to him, hugging him. "These guys want out too! Can we please take them with us?" Jack looked over at Dean and Alex and gave them a glare.

Dean smiled anyway while Alex tensed.

"Uh, hi?" Alex awkwardly smiled.

"Hello, you gonna keep glaring or are you going to stop so we can talk properly?"

Jack just glared daggers at him. Dean creepily smiled straight back.

Things are about to go downhill real  flipping fast.
