Standing in between Alice Cullen and the three of his friends who had gone under possession, Alan felt like he was fighting a losing battle.
'Who do I, even chose in this kind of positon? One of them is something that I don't even know and the other is some kind of magical monster that's inside their mind. Still… they do have their intelligence lowered, I wonder if maybe that was also one of the reasons as to why the thing didn't act or do anything? It truly thought that I would follow it's lead and then head back and grab some of the drug for myself?' Alan thought to himself as he walked closer and stood next to Alice.
"Yeah, we did have plans didn't we?" Alan said out loud as he forced a cheery smile onto his expression whilst he gazed at her.
"Yeah, you promised me yesterday, didn't you?" Alice asked as her expression similarly turned into one of joy, though in comparison to the one that Alan was sporting, it clearly looked much more real, or maybe simply more practiced.
'I wonder though, is that expression real or is that just a practiced act? Doesn't matter… not now atleast.' Alan thought to himself as he turned towards Jeannie, Adrian and John and gave an obviously fake cough.
"Anyways, I'm heading with her, we got class together and then after, we goin to that place together. Until later guys, ya'll have my number if something comes up." Alan said as he grabbed Alice's arm as he started to walk.
For a brief second, or maybe even faster, it was like he was trying to move a tectonic plate, cold, hard and utterly immovable and then in the next second she started walking with him towards the schools front entrance.
Leaving the trio behind them.
"Alright Alan, We'll call you, We can go get the thing this weekend… together"
Alright Alan, We'll call you, We can go get the thing this weekend… together"
Alright Alan, We'll call you, We can go get the thing this weekend… together"
They all said at the exact same time, with the same tone of voice, the same slightly dull eyes.
Jeannie who had once more been affected the most out of the group was almost drooling at this point and another student who had been late and was passing through clearly avoided the group as much as he could from a distance.
They were the most well known bullies in the entire school and now they were similarly the most well known druggies around town as well, and it wouldn't even take long, rumors spread around really fast especially in a town as small as Forks and even in Forks, the greatest hub or rumors and gossip was the Forks Highschool. By the end of the night, everyone from the kids to the adults would learn of what the young student had seen.
Meanwhile, Alan and Alice had already walked inside the main school building and were walking down the hall.
As they walked, Alan turned his head towards Alice and released a soft sigh of relief.
"Hey… thanks about that back there… those guys seemed a bit weird today, I just wasn't feeling comfortable going with them. I even went with them yesterday to their place… and I just couldn't do it… like they were doing drugs and stuff… maybe its some kind of side effects." Alan muttered under his breath, his voice low as he spoke to Alice who was walking by his side down the school hallway.
"Hey, you don't have to mention it. You promised to be friends with me and all, of course I'd help you out." Alice replied with a giggle at first before her face fell as she donned on a much more serious expression than before.
"But you're right, they didn't really seem to be in their right mind, and the way they were talking was just downright creepy, it was like they had practiced that all night in the mirror or something. Maybe It's just a prank, I really hope so atleast but It didn't seem like it. You should stop associating with those guys, I don't think its a good idea to be around them. You just admitted didn't you? They're not the kind of friends that you'd want around you." Alice spoke, her voice serious for once, and quite lower than the usual cheery and giddy tone that she took whilst speaking to others.
It wasn't just the voice, if one were to look at her eyes, they weren't the regular amber color, they were much much darker than usual, almost nearing pitch black but the pupil and the iris still weren't fully the same colour.
'Ofcourse they're not fucking normal. Now your strong, your a high level, do something about those fucks before they actually start chasing me down or come to my apartment at night.' Alan thought inside his mind as he felt like banging his head onto the wall but he couldn't simply tell her straight up that he knew what was going on or that they were possessed, he could only hope that Alice herself would be suspicious and start investigating them by herself.
"Yeah, I really… I just didn't talk to a lot of people and like a few days ago, I talked to them and we became friends, they aren't… bad people though but I think they've just done something wrong this time and aren't really themselves, they didn't even sound like their usual selves… maybe we should call the police on them or something? Do a drug test and get them some kind of help?" Alan spoke to her as he kept walking down the hallway.
They weren't headed to any class in particular, classes had already started and they wouldn't be allowed to join in halfway through the lesson, instead they were just walking around whilst talking at least until they reached a more secluded corner of the highschool and stopped.
