Lighting Lex (Nowhere Boys Fanfic)

Chapter TWENTY

Chapter Twenty
Crazy Hurricane

Lexs POV

We were back at the shack, Sam, Felix and I collecting wood to lay our fire upon. We didnt need matches or a lighter. Lighting causes fire after all. They settled with this idea of using me to light fire instead of much more useful things. I sliced a thick branch in half, clutching the dagger in my hand.

"Lex, Sam, we've got enough" Felix told us, collecting one more stick.

We walked to the shack, the impending darkness from the sky indicating its either going to rain or something spiritual is going to happen. Wind began to blow, a short breeze at first but it got stronger and stronger. It whipped my hair around, getting in both of the boys faces. Andy and Jake frantically yelled from inside, Sam trying to knock the door down. Its not opening. I began to freak, my bag was inside, I had nothing but my dagger. This awfully reminded me of my childhood. I hated it, tears began to whelm up and my breathing increased. I was scared and terrified. The noise was deafening and loud. It burned my ears and scarred my eyes. It was painful to keep them open but I did, keeping on to push the door open.

I felt a hand on my back, encouraging me to push more. It was Sam, yelling for Felix and I to push harder. I shrieked as the door plummeted open. I fell to the floor, straw and dust infecting my lungs. Felix pulled me forward to behind the hay bails, where Jake and Andy were surrendering. It was scary, how the weather could change so quickly. Thats the thing, it was so bipolar and unpredictable that you had to be cautious, ready for anything it could throw at you. I finally closed my eyes, pointing my outstretched hands out. I wanted it go away, I was sick of restoring demons that kept on attacking us. It sickened me to know I played a deathly part in this.

When I opened my eyes, my hands were slightly glowing, Felix chanting and the other boys yelling to eachother over the wind. I didnt want to see the out come whether it would have been good or bad. I clammed my eyes shut once more, falling into Jake who was on my left. I wanted it go so badly. I finally let out a small sob. The truth is, these boys make me act human, they make me normal.

The wind began to soften, our disorted wood all over the floor and each of us covered in a fine layer of dust and hay. The constant restoring demon attacks were taking an unhealthy toll on me. I let go of Jake, wiping my eyes and flicking my hand at the pile of wood, setting it on fire. I didnt want to talk to anyone, I just wanted to sleep and forget about everything. I brushed my hair out of my eyes, getting up and walking to the back to get myself comfortable on a old towel.

"Goodnight Lex" Felix wearily smiled, shaking the dust off his hair.

------

I woke roughly a few minutes before Andy and Jake, Sam and Felix already brushing about the ashes. I waved good morning and rubbed my head, already feeling a headache coming on. I got up and walked out of the shack and let my eyes burn at the glaring sun of at seven-thirty am. I screamed in horror, swirling black line surronding the shack. It was burnt into the ground and still looked warm. Sam came out, a look of shock evident on his face. The other three came out as well, gasping at the sight.

"Must of been wolves" Andy commented, not going for the obvious solution.

"We dont have wolves in Australia Andrew!" I snapped, rubbing my temples.

"It must of been the demon last night, its getting stronger" Felix sighed, playing with the ashes in his fingertips.

"We cant figure it out now anyway, weve got to get to school in half an hour for free breakfast" Sam smiled, throwing my bag at me.

------------

Today all four of us were in different classes. I was with Mia, Ellen and Trent. It was horrible, I was paired with Trent for everything. But for once he didnt act creepy and love-thirsty. It was a good change but theres always calm before a storm so I kept on guard, not falling for his tricks at once. He did though, he tripped over. The only few times i got to seem the boys was good, we're close to leaving Bremin. All we had to do was visit Phoebe this afternoon.

"Lex, whats the answer to this?" Trent asked, pointing to a simple maths problem.

"You should know Trent" I answered, sick of him asking me questions.

I hoped Trent would get the hint but sadly knowing him, he wouldnt. I looked up at the clock, 2:30. 45 minutes to go until I can leave the school for the day. When it seemed like twenty minutes went past it was only five. I wanted to move away from Trent but the rest of the seats were taken, except for the stuffed unicorn boy. He didnt seem to grow up, it confused me. Was unicorn boy rooting to be the next fairy tale peter pan?

I rolled my eyes and got over the embarrassment, getting up and moving next to him. He smiled weakly and i returned it, continuing back to the useless geometry equations that i would never use in my lifetime. My gaze fell onto the brighty coloured unicorn, a pink horn and white polkadot fur. Admintingly, It made me smile. It was just like Jake's except his had a purple horn. I wondered if his family thought that was weird.

"I guess you like my unicorn, huh?" He asked, smiling like a little boy.

"Yeah" I grinned "Its not too bad"

over the next few chapters i will be transending into season two hopefully, i just need to cross a few things off my list to finish off season one area of LL.
so, Lam, Jax, Lelix or Landy?
