Nick
I gasp for air my heart nearly beating out of my chest. I pant not even being able to remember what I just (for the first time in awhile) dreamt… But I do know it shook me to my core. I glance at the clock 6:00. The suns beams paint the sky red and orange, a star in sight from my bedroom window. I grab my necklace immediately calming down. I smile and sigh, of course followed by a bite of fear. I listen for a moment to see if my mother and brother have returned from there unspecified whereabouts. I'm still cautious after waiting about 5 minutes. Quietly, I leave my room to tidy up the house and think. My… dream it could've correlated with what Tsuki said, I should've paid more attention. Everything's just been so strange, and I haven't the slightest idea why, I sweep the floor blood and breakfast remains still lying dominant. I finish with breakfasts mess and scurry to grab an old rag and lots of paper towels. I stare at the small puddle of blood, and slap myself into my senses just to reassure myself that today happened. I continue cleaning. How come I just stood up to Vick today, Why was he nice today, Why did I notice Adelina today, heck, I forgot about the strange new kid too. I know everything that's happened has to gather into something, some core, some source, something I have a painful yearning to know. The rag I used to clean is not in the best condition anymore, although the floor beams with pride, the counter begging to be cleaned next. I throw the rag away, the trash under our sink nearly overflowing with things that should be in the recycling, such as alcoholic beverages. I can't help but sort them as I hear the doors rattling and family's chatter. I stop sorting. There's another voice, it's harsh and raspy, not very reassuring to how they'll react to me only cleaning now. Of course they head straight into the kitchen where I just in nick of time sort the last bottle. "My oh my, Why was my little brother on the floor." The other boy now in sight I can see piercings and cold grey eyes, accompanied to none other than my wasted mother. "So this is the little squirt you've been telling me about." He exclaims. "A pleasure." I say brushing myself off, still keeping a good eye on the boy. My mother laughs hysterically and hiccups making her way to the living room. "My son! *snort*." She flops onto the couch seeming filled with joy. "Hey mom didn't you say that today's the day I finally get to show little Nicky our family pride?" I stop. I'm frozen into place, at a loss for words. If the hell I've been trapped in has been any bad, what am I to expect from this! "Come on out back" He croons, his friend following nearly bursting out with joy. I'm hesitant at first, but the two boys are able to hurry me along. He smile deceases as I reach the small porch of our backyard, nearly coated in beer bottles and cigarettes. "This morning you made a crucial mistake what was it?" I freeze in place, I know I did multiple things wrong this morning, but know he's thinking of something in particular. "I-I didn't clean up the kitchen?" He smiles, and picks up a bat from the ground. "Wrong answer."

Tsuki
I go through the wavorect, knowing my homework isn't done, and it's 12:00 AM, but Adelina had told me to check on Nick after visiting her quote on quote friend. I do sense something… peculiar within this house though. It feels of the presence of a B classed Demon. Although there isn't a trace of it in Nick, his room gives it off slightly. I glance over at the rest of the room, my glamour being most useful allowing me to see in the dark. It's very bland considering most students, even more less fortunate ones tend to have something in their rooms. I then glance at Nick. I freeze. He's drowning in bandages, bruises larger than watermelons crawling across from his feet to near chin, that are visible even through the small wraps of gauze. "My gosh Adelina how am I going to fix this…" Adelina has given me the glamour that her friend crafted for Nick, applied to suit all magic and non-magic related troubles, she's told me to set them to hide. How though, she couldn't have known about this happening. Mind reading lessons aren't learned till next summer lessons.. It is, none of my concern now though. I switch his glasses with the new glamour. Instead of a plain looking mauve, Adelina designed the coat to look grey with golden streaks running along the sides. There is a communication device and camera hidden beneath the lenses for battle convenience. I do wonder though, how will you Nickalous put this situation into play, this isn't even the surface of what awaits.
