Black cosmos

Chapter 15

Will's p.o.v: "Where's Ashe?" I screamed at Drake as a cut threw more monsters with Amber behind me. Before Drake could even answer the foyer in front of us burst into flames.
"Looks like we got our answer" Amber said Jokingly. We ran to the fire however not only did we not see Ashe but the heat and smoke started to consume the house.
"Dude I think we gotta bail" Drake choke out coughing on smoke.
"But what about Ashe" I protested but Amber quickly responded with
"He can take care of himself he's strong but we have to leave or we wont be saving anyone."
Drake looked at the wall and proceeded to punch a hole into it allowing us to escape.
"Woah, I didn't know you were that strong." I said in surprise to Drake who just made our escape route with relative ease.
"Oh my armour skin makes my punches harder pretty neat right?"
I rolled my eyes to Drake's needless bragging then we jumped out through the hole. We saw groups of kids running it was hard to tell if Ashe was in the group of our classmates or still inside.
"What do we do now" Amber asked which had me wondering the same thing till I remembered that Drake lived pretty close to here.
"Drake let's go to your place and regroup".
Drake tried to make excuses for us not to go so I had to reassure him that his mom wouldn't mind me coming over since she liked me and he should stop stalling. Finally convinced,Drake led the way.
We got to a small white house with Dacoma on the mailbox. Amber looked at the mailbox with a confused look.
"Uh Dacoma?Drake this is your house right?,I thought your last name was Duncan"
"Oh right Duncan is my middle name but I don't really like my Last name so when people ask I say my middle name"
Amber I knew had no idea why Drake didn't like his last name however I could tell she didn't want to pry. Of course I knew the reason was because  Dacoma was his dads last name which he rejects due to his leaving. I always ask him why he just doesn't use his mom's last name so of course  he says that her last name sounds lame which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard,Especially since her last name was Melendez which doesn't sound lame to me at all.
"Oh Will you still have your sword in your hand " Amber said quickly before we walked over to the door.
I looked at my hand like an idiot since I just realised I was still holding this thing.
"Well where do I put it ?"
"You could hide it in your ass,they do that to get things in prison you know "Drake suggested which was a horrible idea,and the worst part was I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
"Not doing that!"
"Well how'd you summon it in the first place?" Amber asked trying to actually be helpful Unlike someone else.
I recalled the events of what happened before the sword magically appeared in my hand.
"It was when the monsters attacked and well you know what happened afterwards." I physically couldn't say what happened to John out loud. As messed up as it is I didn't want to think about what happened at all but of course I couldn't pretend it didn't happen.
"What were you feeling?" She asked me kinda taking me off guard.
"Well I was angry and sad I mean of course I was."
"So try to calm down "
Now this also took me off guard,not just that but it pissed me off.
"What the hell I just saw my older brother get Killed in front of me,how the hell would I be able to even calm down ?!" I screamed rhetorically asking her.
My yelling  made her jump back which caused me to feel admittedly guilty
"That's not what I meant I just.." she began to stammer out but I apologised and reassured her it was fine.
"Maybe just try to think really hard about it going away". Drake suggested which I told him was stupid but I decided to give it a shot anyway.
Closing my eyes I concentrated on making the sword disappear but it didn't work which I should have figured but do to all the stress I was feeling this also got me kinda mad,so I stupidly shouted at the sword to go away as it would listen.
Suddenly light shined around it and the sword vanished from my hands.
"Looks like you just had to hurt it's feelings " Drake joked while laughing at his own joke that wasn't even that funny.
Drake dug in his pockets for his keys till he realised he lost them at the party so we rung the doorbell. Opening the door Drake's mom who was a Curvy woman with tan skin and  and short curly hair,she was wearing a red long sleeve flowly top and Black Jean's with black High heels boots. She had also had tattoos sleeves on both arms of random flowers.
"Hi Ms Martinez this is my friend Amber " I said greeting his mom who said Hi to us both with a gingerly smile plus her thick Spainish accent and hugged Amber tightly. "Honey why couldn't you open the door where are your keys?" Ms Martinez asked to Drake who reluctantly told her he lost his keys then her eyes went dark so I quickly led Amber to the basement. As we were walking down all we could hear was Drake getting yelled at in Spanish. In Drake's basement was a Couch which stood in front of the washer and dryer,with a tv on a table in front of that where Me,Ashe,and Drake would play video games.
I sat down on the couch with Amber who was hesitant to sit but I reassured her that Me and Ashe make sure Drake keeps it clean.
She looked over at a drum set then look back at me.
"Do you guys play a band?"
This was a random question which took me by surprise.
"How'd you know?"
"Well Drake has a drum set and you had a guitar in your room"
This also took me bu surprise because I dont remember her being in my room but she must have saw that on my face since before I could say anything Amber told me she was in my room when we brought Ashe to my house after he passed out, the same day they got their powers. Remembering that day made me wonder why my powers came later and why my power was to summon a sword instead of shoot flames outta my hand but I didn't say any of my questions out loud so they stayed as thoughts for myself. Drake came downstairs complaining about his mom yelling at him then dropped the topic when he heard we were talking about our band.
"Bro I thought we were gonna keep it secret from people at school until we got more attention."
I explained to him getting people to know about our band was smarter.
After discussing these Amber asked to hear us play luckily we recorded a song on Drake's phone since Ashe isn't exactly here.
The video was in Ashe's garage with me on guitar and Drake on drums obviously both in the back me on the left and Drake on the right then Ashe was up front in the middle with a microphone.
The video was our  cover song of All the small things by Blink 182 which was Ashe's idea since there his favourite band.
Ounce the video ended Amber started giggling." We were that bad huh?" I asked but she shook her head no while started to go into full laughter.
"No No,It's good,it's just.....Ashe sounds kinda like a girl when he's singing,if someone saw this video they'd definitely mistake him for a girl,the fact he looks like one doesn't help. "We all started laughing due to the fact me and Drake never noticed till now.
"By the way you guys are pretty close" she said afterwards.
I explained how long we were friends and how we met
"I was sitting on the swing by myself,I had trouble making friends as a kid but Ashe was the only kid to approach me after that we've been best friends."
"So you don't think that Ashe might see you guys as a little closer than friends?"
she asked while pressing her index fingers together.
"What kinda question is that ?!"
I  blurted out embarrassed by her strange question. Then her back pocket lit up making a bell ringing noise.She pulled a pink iPhone XR and looked at whatever the notification was with a look of surprise and dread.
"Emma needs our help."
