Chapter Fourteen
"Where's Elle?" Kinsey asked as they all stood on the porch, waiting for the woman arrival.
"Don't you think of we knew we'd say something?" Harvest asked Kinsey, clearly insanely annoyed.
"It's only been an hour." Tyler said, trying to keep the peace.
"She should have been here with the crown by now." Bode spoke up with a nod, Harvest shivered from the wind slightly.
"We just need to wait, stay ready." Tyler nodded, once again trying keep them calm.
"What happens if Mom comes home?" Kinsey asked as Harvest sighed.
"Hopfully this will all be over by then." the redhead spoke hopfully even though she didn't fully believe herself.
"Ugh... guys. Look!" Bode said as he pointed out into the drive way, Dodge smirking at them.
"I hope you don't mind, I invited some friends." Dodge said with a smirk as she put the crown on her head, multiple shadows coming from her own.
"My god." Harvest breathed out, frozen in fear.
"Shadows are just shadows." Tyler tried to say, that was until the shadows flipped their car and threw it across the lawn.
"Get inside! Now!" Tyler yelled as they ran into the doors quickly, slamming them behind them.
"Help me barricade the door!" Kinsey yelled as they began pushing multiple large objectors against the door.
"What do you see?" Harvest asked Tyler as he looked out the window and pulled it shut quickly.
"There's nothing out there." Tyler shook his head as he turned to them.
"I don't like this." Bode shook his head.
"Yeah no shit." Harvest said, more harsh then she intended but she was scared.
"Where did she go?" Kinsey asked, voicing all their thoughts.
"It's to quiet, i'm gonna go cheek upstairs." Tyler said as he went for the staircase.
"Not without me." Kinsey shook her head while trailing after him.
"Well you can't just leave me." Bode said as he ran after Tyler, Harvest went to follow but the sound she heard made her stop.
"Tyler." she spoke up loudly, the shadow on the wall pouring their fathers ashes out on the ground.
"Stop!" Tyler yelled loudly, running forward as one of the shadows grabbed him by the shirt and help him against the wall. Harvest was quickly to hit the light switch, the shadow disappearing as Tyler fell the the ground.
"Oh my god!" Kinsey said while going to their oldest brothers side.
"It's the lights, it's what stops them!" Bode said loudly as Harvest nodded.
"Okay well turn on all the lights!" Kinsey said as they spread out quickly, flipping on all the lamps and lights switches.
"The kitchen!" Tyler yelled as they heard a crash, they all ran toward it and saw multiple shadows dumping their silverware out everywhere, Tyler quickly flipped on the lights as they disappeared quickly. There was a crash from upstairs, Harvest jumped.
"I'll be back!" she yelled while running up the steps, running down the dark hallway she came into her room. One of the shadows tearing each page from her book as she gasped.
"No!" she yelled while flipping on the light as it disappeared quickly. Harvest ran to the pages, looking at the shreds and crumbled papers of her books. Frowning the picked them all up and put them on her bed, going back to the door but one of the shadows from the dark hallway slammed her fork shut, looking her on the inside.
"Let me out!" Harvest yelled while trying to get the door open, hitting and banging on it in hopes it would open. The lights suddenly went out in the whole house, Harvest heard something fall behind her. With a uneasy look she slowly turned around, her breathing uneven. It was Dodge, grabbing her by the neck quickly.
"Give it to me." Dodge demanded as she squeezed Harvest neck tightly. She could barely breath, staring back at Dodge. Her eyes were familiar, too familiar. It scared Harvest half to death looking at her, realizing she'd looked into the same set of eyes before. She wasn't scared of Dodges eyes like she was with everything else about her, she could never be scared of these eyes. The precious puppy dog brown eyes staring back at her, not being able to put her finger on it.
Dodge let go of Harvest neck quickly, feeling like the Locke child was staring into her soul. Kneeling down next to Harvest who was trying to catch her breath Dodge grabbed the sides of her face, "You don't even realize it."
And with that she left through the window. Harvest was confused, she was confused as to what she meant. She was confused as it how she'd seen her eyes before, how she felt the familiar feeling when they were close. Harvest hate herself for what she was thinking, she hated that she liked it. She didn't like Dodge though, she couldn't stand the shapeshifting woman. But she liked the feeling she got when they were close, the god awaful familiar feeling.
The lights came back on quickly, Harvest running down the stairs and meeting her siblings on the ground. Dodge was laying there, she seemed lifeless but she was clearly just unconscious. Tyler gave Harvest a worried look but she waved him off, looking over Dodges body.
"Did I kill her?" Bode asked in shock as he looked at the woman.
"After I stabbed her, her shadow melted down stairs." Bode explained as Harvest frowned her eyebrows.
"She let me go... she could have killed me but she let me go. But she wasn't a shadow... she was real." Harvest said in confusion, looking at the woman.
"Must have to due with her shapeshifting." Tyler said, rubbing his sisters shoulders softly.
"She's still breathing." Kinsey said as she kneeled down next to Dodges body.
"Whatever you did... she's out cold." Tyler said as they caught their breath.
"Where the crown?" Bode asked, realizing she didn't have the crown on anymore.
"I don't know but first things first, is the omega key still safe?" Tyler asked, looking to Kinsey before Bode ran off, taking it out of the small shelf across the room.
"What do we do with her now?" Harvest asked while looking down at the woman.
"We can't kill her." the blonde shook her head at her slightly shorter sister.
"Why not? She's the reason why Dad is gone." Bode said as he ran back over to them.
"I mean we literally can't kill her. Elle said echoes can't be killed by normal means." Kinsey pointed out, looking between all her siblings.
"Maybe we can put her back in the well house?" Tyler suggested as Harvest sighed and shook her head.
"We'd need the echo key but Elle has it." Harvest said as she ran a hand through her now tangled red locks.
"What if we send her back from where she came from?" Kinsey suggested as they all fell silent for a moment, looking over at her.
"What are you talking about?" Tyler asked her even though he had a idea what she was thinking.
"The black door! We use the omega key to open the black door and we send her back." Kinsey nodded as Harvests eyes widened.
"Thats Genius!" Harvest explained loudly, being shhed by her siblings quickly.
"Last time that door was open Dads friend got possessed by a demon and he had to butcher him to death." Tyler said with a look.
"What happens if she wakes up? If you have any better ideas i'm all ears!" Kinsey explained with a insane look, staring at Tyler.
"Wait, so we're going to the sea caves?" Bode asked in excitement as Tyler shook his head.
"No, you're not. We are, you're staying here." Tyler spoke, motioning between the three as Bode sighed.
"Fine! But i'm gonna go cheek on Rufus, he and Elle were supposed to come back with the crown. If Elles ik trouble he could be too." Bode said as Kinsey jumped in quickly.
"That's not a good idea." she said to him, taking the key from his palm.
"Well I cant just stay here, Rufus is my friend and I don't care what you guys say! I'm going!" Bode said as he began to prep the lightsaber and pull on his shoes.
"Just be carful!" Harvest called out to him, getting the same response back as Bode left quickly.
"If we're gonna carry her all the way down to those caves... we're gonna need some help." Tyler said as he looked to Harvest.
"No, no way." the girl shook her head but it was to late, Kinsey was already dialing the numbers.
"This is a terrible idea, there all in danger now." Harvest spoke as Kinsey let Scot,Eden, Jackie, Gabe, and Logan toward her.
"We know what you're gonna say and i'm hear to tell you to shut up in a very kind way because we're not gonna let you do this alone." Logan spoke up quickly, cutting her short. Harvest sighed as she gave him a small smile, hugging him tightly until Gabe cleared his throat.
"Thanks for coming." Harvest said, hugging her boyfriend tightly as he hugged her back.
"Oh course, wish you would have called sooner." he said, examining the bruise on her neck. Pulling him with the rest of the group toward Dodge who was laying in the middle of the floor.
"Not exact what I pictured when I thought of old demon." Gabe said as he looked down at her, Harvest shook her head.
"Same, didn't expect her to be so hot." Harvest said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Pretty much exactly what I was expecting." Scot said with a shrug.
"Really? Where are the fangs, where are the horns where are the-"
"No, no, no this is all meant to lure you in. The perfect bone structure, the great style-" Scot began but Kinsey cut him off.
"Guys! Can we focus?" Kinsey asked them with raised eyebrows.
"Focusing, definitely focusing right now." Logan spoke with a nod.
"Where'd you put the flashlights?" Tyler asked as Harvest jump in.
"I'll go get them." she nodded as Logan jumped.
"I'll help." he said while following after her into the next room over.
"So this is kinda insane, we're like the scooby gang." Logan joked as Harvard laughed and began giving him flashlights.
"Tell me about it, wish it was under different circumstances though." Harvard said with a sigh as she shut the cabinet back, it fell silent between the two.
"I couldn't tell Gabe I loved him." Harvest said suddenly as Logan frowned his eyebrows in confusion.
"He said it to me and I couldn't even say it back because I was thinking about you and so was thinking about us." Harvest said as Logan's eyes widened and blinked multiple times.
"And I do love Gabe, very much. And you and Kinsey are together and I could never hurt her in that way, and I could never hurt Gabe. But I wanted you to know, that's all." Harvest explained as he didn't give him a time to answer, walking away and back into the next room as he followed after quickly.
"Watch your step." Harvest warned Eden as she stepped over a rock as the group all carried Dodges body down to the caves, Scot rambling the entire time from his nerves.
"Harvey.. are you okay to go down there?" Logan asked as they stopped at the entrance, she looked back as him. The flashlights were bright enough to make his eyes shine the brightest shade of blue, his skin glowing.
"I'll be okay, we just need to get this over with." Harvest nodded as they slowly went down into the caves, watching each step they walked over.
"How did you guys find this place?" Eden spoke up as she looked around at the cave.
"We were gonna shoot the movie in here." Kinsey informed her as Eden laughed.
"Yeah no I would have quite if I hadn't already quite." Eden said as Harvest rolled her eyes.
"Thank god you did, couldn't stand to listen to your bitches a second longer then I had too." the redhead said in annoyance, Gabe laughing at her slightly.
"Well that was fun." Gabe commented as they got through the small part of the cave, large open space before them again.
"You're hearing that right?" Jackie asked, the whispering being awfully loud.
"You mean a really scary, rumbling sound?" Tyler asked her sarcastically as they neared the black door, the glowing blue light behind it. Laying Dodge down they all approached the door.
"What do you suppose is on the other side?" Scot as as Harvest sighed from next to Logan.
"Hell." she answered honestly.
"Let's just do this and get out of here." Tyler spoke from where he watched over Dodges body.
"I don't think we should." Kinsey shook her bead as Harvest groaned.
"Are you dumb?" the redhead asked her as if she was insane which in reality she kinda was.
"It was your idea." Tyler added in with a look of disbelief.
"Does this feel right to you?" Kinsey asked as he grabbed Harvests arm as they walked toward Tyler.
"If you have any better ideas i'm all ears."
"Bear available idea doesn't make something a good idea."
"I hate to break up a good ol sibling squabble but I am worried about these tides and I do have some experience to back that up." Scot spoke up, looking between the three as Tyler's phone dinged.
"Shit, yeah we should hurry." Tyler nodded as Harvest began to panic, looking around.
"That is not what you said before." Eden said as she looked at Tyler.
"Yeah it took a lot long to get down here then I thought." Tyler said back to her, just as much sass in his voice.
"Guys!" Logan yelled out as they saw the sheet Dodge was in starting to move around.
"Okay guys we gotta do this now!" Harvest announced loudly as everyone hovered around her.
"Are you sure? We can't take it back." Kinsey spoke while looking between her two siblings.
"Kinsey, we're here, we can end this." Tyler tried to reassure her, "for Dad."
"Alright." she nodded as Tyler looked to the group quickly.
"Kinsey will unlock the door, the rest of you stay on it. If something happens just close it." Tyler said as he grabbed Dodge as well.
"Great pep talks, Ty." Harvest said as she looked to her brother.
"If anything comes out of that door when we open it-
"Wait, anything like what?"
"Elle said they were like glowing bullets, just don't let them hit you."
Kinsey unlocked the door quickly, with the help of everyone to pull the door open. It was like a galaxy, blue and beautiful. The bullets Elle told them about began shooting at them, ducking down.
"Get her!" Harvest yelled as Kinsey and Tyler grabbed Dodge and brought her toward the open door.
"Tyler, what are you doing?" Dodge asked as she woke up, throwing her in. Dodge yelled out as she grabbed Tyler's shirt tightly, Harvest and Kinsey grabbing him so he wouldn't fall through. Harvest pried Dodges hands off her brother and she flew into the door, yelling loudly until she disappeared. They quickly shut the black door back as the glowing bullets flew at them full force. Catching their breath Harvest leaned into Gabe to catch her breath as he did the same.
