Truths Hide In Shadows

Chapter 20

Hall yawned lightly, leaning on a tree. Apparently, Lu wanted the "gang" to meet someone.

Of course, Marv was still cautious about his brother being alone, even with his group of friends, so he tagged along with his own buds.

"Hey, Hall!" A black haired male called.

Said male looked up at his other friend, smiling at them softly.

"Hey, Re."

Reboot sat in front of the tired nerd, easily watching him with both concern and amusement.

"Take it blondie didn't want you to live in your apartment?"

Both of them snickered as Marvel glared at the other boy. He really didn't like being called blondie, nor the fact that one of his brother's best friends knew where he lived and did nothing to help him!

Eraser snickered at his friend, moving around the table to sit next to the Game Designer.

"Now, whats your name?" There most certainly was a flirty tone to his question.

"Reboot." The mocha skinned male winked at the pale male, making him turn a bit red at the cheeks.

"Wanna-"

"Hey, guys!" Lust's voice cut in, he smiling happily.

All five pairs of eyes found him instantly, as well as the looming shadow over him.

Behind the lavender haired male was a bloody red eyed man who stood near seven feet tall. He had shaggy brown hair that looked a bit dirty and his skin was a deep farmer's tan with odd patches of white in the mix.

The intimidating part about the man was his left eye. It had a horrible scar around it! It looked liked someone had tried to claw his eye out, but he kept squirming!

"Guys, this is Horror... He's new..." The violet eyed male gave a shaky smile to the other two, almost like he was pleading for them to understand.

"Hi, H!" The game designer shouted, getting a raised eyebrow from the tall giant.

"Um.. Hi?" Horror's voice was deep, it sort of was like thunder.

"Hi, I'm Lucy." Halluciv gave a wary smile to the taller male, tilting his head in an odd way.

The large male nodded towards the other, narrowing his demonic eyes.

"Um... Can I ask a question?" Xcellence called out, the ends of his hair standing up. "Are your eyes naturally that red?"

Yes, X has a red eye, but its natural color is a pinkish-red, not the gentle red that it was shown. He actually wore a red colored contact in that eye since it only had a twelve out of twenty vision.

Horror nodded, smirking slightly.

"Yeah... Odd, I know. But most of my... family has red eyes, so guess its a dominate trait... for us anyway." He shrugged mindlessly, stilling smirking at the jock.

X really didn't like this guy... He sent all the wrong signals to him, red flags popping up in his mind. Also, why the heck did Hall call himself Lucy?

As the afternoon went on, the three jocks felt more on edge... Specially with how calm and at ease the other three were acting around the near seven foot giant!

It wasn't just his tall height nor the way he spoke or the scar... No it was nails and teeth as well that sent them on edge... Both were longer than normal and sharper... sharp enough to do some serious damage in a fight...

Plus, he would use codewords for something and the three nerds would get it! Like who the hell was this guy!

"Well, we have to go now! See you guys tomorrow." Lu called out as the sky started to run a bit orange.

The large male nodded to the others, following after the petite male once done.

"Guess, we should go home too." Hall laughed softly, standing up with his other friend.

"See you later, Lucy." Reboot called as he hurried away to his own apartment that he shared with a few others.

The fair skinned twin hummed softly as he started to head back to his bro's car.

It took a moment for the others to snap out of their shock and their confusion to follow him. The day was just weird.
