The Four Brothers

T W O

*third person pov*

The five of them walked around the city, Charlie was holding a bag of fries, Michael was holding a small box of pizza. These two were ahead of the others. Markus was holding a packet of chips, and Sam was holding a bar of chocolate. These two were in the middle of the group.

Alex was walking a little slower than the rest, a smoothie in one hand, his phone on the other. The wind had picked up and Alex's chestnut hair was swaying slightly.

There was movement behind him. "Huh?" he turned to see nothing. "Oh. Guys, did you-?" he turned to see that the others were gone. "Wait, what??" they must have turned the corner, so that's what he did. They weren't there. "Oh no. no no no no no where did they go where did they go???"

Alex looked around, trying to see in the dark but no one was around. 'I'll just ring them.' he looked down to call Markus, but to his horror his phone died halfway through ringing him. 'Shit. Shit. Shit. Shiiiiiittttt' he looked around again.

He didn't even recognize this place. How was he supposed to get back now?? What was he supposed to do?? He shoved his phone back onto the pocket of his purple jumper and ran his hand through his shoulder length hair. He decided to go back the way he came, as he at least knew people there were like him and didn't sleep, so shops would be open.

When he got to the nearest shop that was still illuminated, he saw something that sent chills down his spine. On the TV screen, he read:

"Warning! A mental patient has escaped and heading to Aurora city."

Underneath that, it read:

"Do not approach. He will reportedly attack on site. People in the area are advised to stay indoors and only go outdoors in groups, if absolutely necessary. If you see him run and-"

Alex couldn't read any further. He turned and suddenly felt exposed. 'There's a slight possibility that I won't make it home.' he though simply. 'But hey! If I die here, at least I'll be able to haunt everyone and fuck with them.' despite the situation, he couldn't help but chuckle. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and glass shattering. Alex screamed, and clapped a hand over his mouth. This was it. He had just fucked his entire life down the drain.

*meanwhile*(this happens before Alex gets to the shop)

Charlie's phone beeped. When she looked at it, she discovered it was an article on.... An escaped mental patient? She read it and felt like puking. <(everything Alex didn't read was horrible)

She turned to tell Markus, but by the expression he and Sam had, they had already read it. "We're home anyway." Max shrugged, though he had a nervous expression. "Yeah, Alex, you have the keys-" They all turned and stared at where Alex was supposed to be. They all looked at each other, a collective "oh fuck" face was being silently shared.

Then Michael screamed.

Charlie's head whipped around to see a shadow pounce on Michael. He was still screaming. 'Better hope the neighbors are heavy sleepers' Charlie thought as she roundhouse kicked the figure in what she hoped was the face.

It looked up at her before running off. "What if that's the mental patient??" Max asked as Markus checked on Michael. "We call the police, duh." Charlie said as thought pointing out that the sky was blue.

Sam rolled his eyes. "I meant what if the mental patient runs into Alex? You should've let me finish dear." Sam said staring at her. His eyes seemed to glow in the night. Charlie sighed. "First off, don't call me dear, and second, we're going to go find Alex."

Markus looked at Charlie. "After we get Michael inside, I'm not risking his safety after the shit that was just pulled." he said, standing up and crossing his arms. "I thought Alex had the key?" Markus was quiet for a few seconds before cursing under his breath. "Dad'll be up though, surely?" Sam said walking up to the door and banging on it. "Sam! He might not be!! Stop banging on the door!" Markus left Michael and Charlie to go stop Sam.

Charlie looked at Michael, he was pale. "You okay?" Charlie had to wait a minute before she got a response. "Fine..." Michael's voice had gone shaky and he mumbled to himself. Markus appeared at Michael's side and their was someone else there, a short, Charlie didn't want to say fat man, but the wasn't skinny either. He brought Michael inside before whispering something to Markus in a language Charlie didn't understand.

Markus and Sam walked up to Charlie and the three of them set off to find Alex.

So here's chapter two. I just had this burst of energy and BAM! This happened. It's a lot shorter than I thought it was gonna be, but trust me I think they're gonna get longer (I draft them on a note pad on my phone so I have zero clue how many words are on it till I copy and paste them onto Wattpad anyway) but anyways hope you enjoyed! I'll see you when I see you and I hope you enjoy yourselves wherever you are!! Byeeeeee!!
