Kid

124

Dominick stood outside, the night air a welcoming cold on his skin. The night was ripe and alive with stars and nightly creatures screeching their calls to gain the attention of others. The stars hung like lantern in the sky, the marble of the moon shining down on the world and coating it in milky light.

"Where the hell are they?" Dominick mumbled as he looked around.

The gardens glowed with diamond dewdrops, the grass painted in a similar shade of sparkles. The dirt even had a sense of lightness in the night.

Dominick looked up to the marble of the moon. "Where freaking hell are they?"

"They are freaking hell here," Live replied as she rested her head on his shoulder. She got an elbow to the stomach for her efforts, making her jump back.

"You're late," he informed.

"Just barely," she replied folding her arms.

"Do you want to see Kid or not?" Dominick asked.

Live frowned. "No need to make threats Dominick, I've done everything else that you've asked."

Dominick nodded. "Yes you have." He dug his walking stick into the ground to check how soft the dirt was, "This will do, right?"

She shrugged, "You're the 'Keeper.'"

He rolled his eyes as he slammed the end of the wooden walking stick into the ground and started dragging it around. Live went to follow him, but he held his hand up, "Stay there." She did as told as he seemed to draw a circle around her, he added more lines and continued his odd pattern; it was a time consuming activity to do this.

From an overhead view, the same symbol of their half-moon and sun was etched into the earth from his walking stick.

When Dominick was happy with what he had made he held his symbol at arm's length and it glowed a bright blue. The ground where the symbol had been drawn copied, like the blue was a race car trying to win as the light followed the drawing until it crashed into the other end. Upon impact, everything inside the symbol glowed a blinding light, and Live, in the centre of the symbol, let off a squeal of sudden surprise as her head was whiplashed back and she fell to her knees to try and absorb what was being prassed to her. The light was so intense even Dominick couldn't see her and even winced at the light.

Everything was drowned out by the sudden light to the point where even they disappeared from view.

Jason and Harold managed to rip the strings and tapestry ropes off them, they even managed to rip the whole tapestry off the wall. Harold took a few moments to untangle himself from it while Jason picked up his walking stick. "They only needed a few moments..." he mumbled.

On cue, the light of the moon was displaced to a light of something so blinding, neither demon could comprehend it at first. They each cursed, "If they immobilised us they've probably done the same to our agents."

"Do we have long enough to get them?" Harold asked.

Jason shrugged, "We only need a few minutes." He disappeared from sight. Harold rolled his eyes, but soon he too disappeared into a blur.

Charms looked to the window while Cameron was still bashing against the doors. She leaned out the window to assess how far of a drop it was going to be. Even Cameron wouldn't be able to survive that without hurting himself. She looked to the side of the building; further around the house something seemed to be going off, like some sort of flash bomb went off inside a mirror room when a volcano of light exploded. It had some serious energy behind it as Charms could feel the pressure blowing her hair back.
