CHAPTER THREE:

COAT POCKET

————————

Harper discovered the Hargreeves siblings outside staring up at the odd purple tear in the sky, which was emanating large shock waves, a small hole in the center was vaguely visible and Harper strained her eyes to see what looked to be grass and a white fence.

      "Out of the way!" exclaimed Klaus, as he barreled through the back door clutching a fire extinguisher. He then attempted to extinguish the odd tear in the sky but without success and tossed the entire extinguished into the hole, where it was completely absorbed.

      "What is that gonna do?" shouted Allison.

      "I don't know! Do you have a better idea?" Klaus shouted back, retreating behind the others, he then spotted Harper who was closest to the door, "Good lord, what happened to you?"

The others whirled around to face her and Harper gazed back dully.

      "You're soaking wet." Allison frowned, her gaze then fell to the scissors that were still stuck in Harper's leg and her eyes widened, "Oh my god, were you stabbed?"

Harper glanced down at the thin silver scissors that she hadn't yet had the chance to remove, she then yanked them out and clutched it in her hand, wondering if she should toss it into the tear in the sky as well.

A loud electrical crash sounded and everyone quickly moved their attention back to the tear, a human body appeared to be pushing through it.

     "Everyone, get behind me!" Luther yelled, taking a step forward.

Diego quickly moved forward too, "Yeah, get behind us."

      "I vote for running, c'mon!" Klaus made for the door but realized no one else was following and heaved a sigh of disappointment.

Vanya inched closer to Harper, but kept her eyes glued to the sky.

The body fell through the tear and landed on the ground with a hard thud and the tear disappeared, the usual sunlight returned and it was as if the odd occurrence had never happened.

Harper began to inch forward with the others to inspect the body but froze in place as soon as she realized who it was.

The small figure rose from the dirt with a scowl.
