Chapter Seven

Harvest woke up with a gasp as she heard the obnoxious whispering sounding. Thinking it was one of her siblings she waved it off until she realized she couldn't even understand it. Sitting up quickly she went down the stairs, watching as Kinsey pulled another key from inside the piano.

"You guys can hear it too?" Harvest asked as Bode appeared behind her causing her to gasp before they joined their taller siblings.

"What did you find?" Bode asked as they got closer, being shhed quick and reminded that their Mom was asleep.

"Woah, this one is pretty." Harvest said while looking at how the key made a music note at the end.

"I think i've seen this before somewhere." Bode said as he took the key from Kinsey and examined it.

"See what?" Tyler asked him with frowned eyebrows.

"Where it goes, over here." Bode said as the four hurried to the spot he was leading them too, Bode grabbed a chair and began trying to move it.

"Stop." Tyler demanded at the loud noise, making Bode sigh.

"We need to get that brown box up there, with the swirls. I saw it when we were unpacking." Bode said as Tyler looked to Harvest with a knowing look and a sigh before lifting her to rest on his shoulders.

"Got it." she said while he grabbed her waist and set her down, Harvest hurried to set what looked like a music box down on the study desk. Kinsey shared a look with everyone before she used the key she found to unlock it. The small ballerina danced on the inside of the velvet walls, soft music playing as it twirled.

"Abracadabra?" Kinsey asked, not knowing what to do.

"I think it's broken." Bode spoke admits as Harvest shook her head.

"How is magic keys broken?" she asked with frowned eyebrows.

"So we can all hear them now, what does that mean?" Tyler asked, referring to how they all heard the sounds of the keys.

"That means we can all be the protector of the keys, wheel lady can't take them from us. I'm not alone anymore." Bode explained as Harvest smiled down at him.

"You were never alone little man." Tyler informed him as Harvest ruffled her youngest brothers hair.

"We haven't seen her in like over two weeks." Kinsey pointed out, going on what Bode said about Wheel lady.

"So? In her world that can be like five minutes, she can be like ten thousand years old, she's still out there!" Bode explained, becoming annoyed with Kinsey.

"I know!" Kinsey shot back as Harvest rolled her eyes.

"Just lose the attitude, Kins. Bode has a point." Harvest scolded her taller sister.

"Okay for safety reasons we should split up the keys." Tyler spoke, ending the hopeless bickering.

"Where are the other ones?" Kinsey asked as Harvest pulled the ones from her neck while Bode pulled the rest from his pocket.

"Head key, mirror key, and ghost key." He said while the two laid their keys on the table.

"Kinsey you take this new music box one, Bode you keep the ghost key and the mirror key, Harvest keeps her water key, and i'm gonna take the head key." Tyler announced as Harvest took the key and put it back around her neck.

"Always keep them with you. Oh and by the way, before we use the keys we're all talking about this first." Tyler demanded as Kinsey became annoyed.

"Enough with the orders, we can manage our selves." Kinsey scoffed as Tyler nodded sarcastically.

"Oh yeah you're in great shape." he said back.

"Just because I don't have fear doesn't make me irrational, so shut your mouth Tyler. Besides it's not like you're so above using the keys, didn't you try and use the head key to try and get with Jackie?" Kinsey glared as Tyler seemed like he was struggling to speak, like his lips were glued together or something.

"Ty?" Harvest asked with frowned eyebrows.

"Alright, very funny." Kinsey said before she realized how seriously it was, looking down at the music box and then the key in her hand.

"Tyler, slap yourself in the face." Kinsey spoke, watching as the oldest Locke sibling did so.

"Holy shit!"

"How'd you do that?"

"I think it's the music box."

"Tyler open your mouth." Kinsey spoke again as his lips became parted and he took gasp for air. Harvest looked to Kinsey with amazement as she rubbed Tyler's back.

"Let me try this. Kinsey, do a back flip." Bode spoke, frowning after a few moments considering she didn't do it.

"I'm the one that put the key in, so it only does what I say. Bode, pick your nose." Kinsey said as Bode began to pull his finger to his nose before Tyler slammed the music box closed quickly.

"These things aren't toys, they're weapons. So until we need them we're not gonna use them." Tyler explained as Harvest sighed.

"Why can't they just be both? I mean this is freaking awesome." Harvest laugh as Tyler gave her a look before walking away, indicating for them to all do the same.

"Bye Mom!" Harvest called out as she grabbed the orange and hurried out the house to jump in the car with her two siblings as they drove to school quickly.

"I can't believe they worked, I mean that's what medicine does but I wasn't expect it to actually help." Harvest said as she walked in between Gabe and Logan.

"It's pretty powerful, I use to take them when I was younger." Logan said as Harvest nodded.

"How long under you go off of them?" She asked as he shrugged.

"Couple years back I guess." he said as Harvest nodded with a small frown.

"Are all your nightmares the same?" Gabe asked while bumping her a little.

"Kinda, it's usually the same plot but sometimes different sceneries." she answers when they arrived at the cafeteria and noticed Eden Hawkins doing nothing but embarrassment herself.

"What is going on?" Logan asked no one in particular as they watched Eden fall on her face. They neared Kinsey who had the music box in hand, Scot laughing from next to her.

"No way." Gabe commented as he saw the whole thing go down.

"Damn it." Harvest whispered, sending a glare and a shake of her head at Kinsey.

"How did you- did you just? How-" Gabe began to struggle over his words as Logan stared holed in Harvest's head, her avoiding all eye contact.

"Listen guys, you didn't just see what you think- what do you think you saw?" Kinsey asked as Logan laughed slightly.

"I think we just saw you guys puppeteering Eden Hawkins?" Logan asked in shock.

"You didn't, we're leaving." Harvest tried again, grabbing onto the boys to leave but they both stayed in place.

"That's pretty accurate, yeah." Kinsey nodded, ignoring her sisters looks she was giving her.

"Is this some type of prank? It is,isn't it? How'd you get Eden in on it?" Gabe laughed while looking up at Scot and Kinsey.

"Oh no, there's no way she would have been able to pull that off... she's definitely not that good of a actress." Scot shook his head with a small laugh.

"It's real, but you can't tell anybody." Kinsey said while looking between the two boys.

"Oh yeah, definitely not." Logan shook his head and flashed her a smile.

"Oh come on, you're telling me you just talk into that thing and-" Gabe began but was cut off.

"Does whatever I say, you just have to put the key in and turn it." Kinsey said as Harvest scoffed.

"Seriously Kinsey?" she asked her with a look of disbelief, not wanting either of the boys to be involved in this.

"Okay let me try." Gabe said to her while looking between the box and to her, watching as she passed it to him as he unlocked it.

"Eden Hawkins, stand up." he spoke as the girl quickly shot up from were she was seated at the table.

"Get on the table."

"Make a snow angle."

"Sit on it."

"Turn over."

"Do the breast stroke."

"Thanks a ton Kinsey, for involving the only two people I asked not to be in something that could put them in danger." Harvest glared at her sister, leaving her lunch and storming off to the Library.

After Harvest got home she went straight to the back of the house, sitting on the small rock and pulling out the cigarettes from her jacket pocket. She was angry, angry how Kinsey not only went past her wishes but also that it didn't even seem to effect her.

"Hey there chain smoker." Harvest heard a familiar voice as she looked to her side and saw Gabe walking toward her.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him as he sat next to her.

"Walked home with Kinsey, figured we should talk." he said as she shrugged and offered him the cigarette which he denied.

"So did you like, know about all this?" he asked as she nodded, staying silent while exhaling the smoke.

"Why didn't you tell me? Do you not trust me or.." he trialed off as Harvest dropped the stick and turned to him.

"It's not that, it's just dangerous. There's still a lot that you or Logan don't know about and you guys are like the only friends I have in this town. Didn't want to involve either of you in something this dangerous." Harvest said as Gabe gave a half grin with a nod.

"Well that's really sweet of you, but now I know. Now there's no more secrets and you can talk to me about anything now, this can be good." he said as she stared at him for a moment, blinking with a small smile.

Leaning over slowly she pressed a kiss to his lips as the sunset shined through the tree on them.
