Chapter 15
Jonathon POV
I shot my eyes open, looking to my side and see Kota sound asleep under the covers. I toss and turn, trying to get comfortable, but it feels like needles are all in my back and making the slightest of movement will make more needles appear. I get up and open the door, the halls are quiet and dark. I walk out quietly and go to the empty room next to my room and the other guys room. I pull down a ladder and climb up to the attic until I came to a window. I unlatched it and climbed on the roof. I laid on it and rested my head in my hands. I soon hear the window open again. I sit up quickly and notice it's Evan with a small pocket knife.
"Really? You were planning to assassinate me with a pocket knife?" I laughed
"I heard something and the ought it was someone trying to break in." He said as he climbed out and sat on the roof with me, looking up, the stars showing the Hershey in his eyes.
"Well, I thank you for trying to protect us."
"Gotta earn your trust somehow." He laughed, I smiled.
"It's gonna be a little tough, pretty boy." I looked at the sky.
"What kinda name is that? Pretty Boy?" He looked at me, and I looked at him.
"Just a name." I said.
"Really? Are you sure it isn't what you think about me?" He smiled and I rolled my eyes.
"You don't even know my sexuality." I laughed
"Don't have to, I can find out by watching and listening to you." He smiled and laid back.
"Right. What's your sexuality?" I laid on one side and put my head in my hand.
"I'm not sure actually. I like girls and I've had a couple girlfriends but, you know, guys are cool too." He looked up at the sky again. He looked at me with a smirk.
"What about when you left this town? I heard Kota talking about it. Did you get amnesia and forget about all of it?" He turned on his side.
"No, I didn't get amnesia. All the work and hunting set this town out of my mind. But it was worth it to be out in this," I pointed to the sky, "every night." He nodded and closed his eyes, breathing in the chill night air, his stomach slowly rising and falling.
"This is pretty nice. I'd rather sleep all day and be awake all night." He smiled up at the sky, looking at the crescent moon. "Did you really get to see this? Every night?"
"Yes. But c'mon. We best get some sleep for tomorrow." I patted his knee and got up, walking to the window. He turned and Kaye's on his stomach to stare at me.
"You know, your Mysterious, Mr. Delirious." He giggled.
"That rhymed." I looked at him and he shrugged.
"I guess." He got up and followed me back in the attic. We walked to the ladder and climbed down and waved as we went our separate ways. I latex back in the warm master bed next to my sister who I was trying not to wake up. For the first time in 8 years it actually looked like she was having a peaceful rest. She would dream about the voice in her head and would always focus on killing our dad, but now that we know it wasn't dad in our heads, we have to keep our heads busy and our eyes open. I lay my head on the pillow and stare at the ceiling. No stars, no beautiful blue and black, no moon, no light, just black. I frowned, I should've seen it coming but no. I closed my eyes and drifted.
<<Morning>>
I rose out of bed and saw that Kota is already up. I stretch and get out of bed myself. I put fresh clothes on and head downstairs, where I see Kota cooking some hunted duck for breakfast.
"Morning, Jinxy." I smiled and she turned around with a frown.
"It's jinx, delicious boy." She laughed.
"Delicious? What? Are we changing code names now? Can I be Vamoose?" Vanoss laughed as he came down and patted my back.
"I see the princesses are awake. Breakfast is ready." Kota carried the cooked duck to the table set in the middle, cutting it up.
"Really? Is all you have animals?" Tyler gagged at the sight of it.
"Dead ones. Now don't spoil it, come eat. If a girl can eat it, so can a boy." She dropped the bloody knife in the sink, I eyes it closely.
"Del, I know what you're thinking, snap out of it." Kota snapped her fingers by my face.
"Thanks Jinx." I smiled and sat at the table, again, Evan next to me.
"Delicious, huh?" Evan smiled at me.
"The duck?" I sarcastically smiled.
"What's with your name? It's delirious then it's delicious." He rested his head on hand.
"1, my name is not delicious it has no taste. 2, it's delirious. Little Jinxy McWinxy likes to be goofy." I laugh at Kota who is glaring at me.
"I know where you sleep." She growled
"And I know where you live." I grin. She rolled her eyes and got up, bringing her dirty plate to the sink.
"You boys better hurry up, I bringing a group of you to go hunting, delirious can have the rest of you." She walked upstairs to get her weapons and bags.
"Tell me, Mr. Delirious, why do you guys act like animals." Tyler said as he pushed his plate away. I pushed mine away as I got up.
"We're not animals. We're survivors of a very horrific crime," I placed my plate in the sink, "we know what's going on."
"What?" Craig asked.
"There are rare people you can find who are good, everyone has a bad side, and it can even get the best of them. That's all you need to know now get dressed and get ready. We've got work." I started walking upstairs when my head heard a familiar voice,
'Did you miss me?'
