They're here, mom and dad, while Casper, Jerper, and Neo are behind them."
Blue stood up immediately.
"Get us out of here," the yellow girl said seriously.
The wind grew stronger and the roof of their house was blown off, leaving it brightly lit. The sky darkened and lightning struck, making us look at the yellow girl. Could she have caused this?
"You can't leave here!!" shouted Deralton, the right-hand man of the leader.
(Yellow's point of view)
They say we can't leave!
THUUUUGGGSSSHHHH!
I struck the bed with lightning, causing it to catch fire and turn to ash.
"You can't leave yet," said an older woman.
If our mom were alive, they would be the same age.
I shouldn't be thinking about what's not here!!!
We stared at them with blank, emotionless expressions.
"What are you going to do to us?" I asked calmly.
"If you hurt them, I'll wipe out your kind!" Blue said, referring to us.
"We have no ill intentions toward you..." said the old man.
Blue and I exchanged glances.
"Should we trust them?" Red asked softly.
"I don't think so. They might experiment on us or, worst case, drain our blood," Blue said.
"Then what should we do?" I asked.
"We'll stay, but keep our distance, and never let your guard down," Blue said.
Red and I nodded.
I cleared the darkness from the sky, but couldn't restore their damaged roof, so it became like a rooftop.
Blue faced them seriously.
"We'll stay for the whole day, but we're leaving tomorrow afternoon," Blue said.
They exchanged glances and nodded.
"What are they?" Red asked.
"Vampires."
We looked at Blue.
What?! They're vampires? That's why their skin is so pale.
I clutched my neck, remembering what happened in the forest earlier.
Who bit me?
I looked at each of them until I found someone who resembled the one who bit me and had the same presence.
I showed him my expressionless face.
"Sorry for what our sons did. We needed that to bring you here," said the old man who had pushed Blue earlier.
We were all clutching our necks.
We stepped back.
The three men took a step toward us.
"Don't come any closer!" I said.
"Sorry for what I did...yellow girl."
'Ahh! It seems yellow girl is angry at me.'
So it was him who bit me. I closed my eyes tightly, especially when I read his mind.
"Sorry too, Ms. Red," I heard another one say.
I opened my eyes and took a deep breath.
"I'm not angry," I stammered.
When I noticed one of them smirk, I thought, 'Thank goodness...she's not angry at me...good job, Kyller! Very good!'
In his mind...crazy.
He was Kyller.
"Call me Yellow and...Apology accepted, Kyller," I said calmly.
"How did you know my name??" he asked.
"The three of us can read minds," I said.
"Ugh. The bite really hurt me...Zceki!" Red pointed at Zceki.
Zceki scratched his head.
"That's why I apologized," he said softly.
"Well, apology not accepted!" Red said, shocking Zceki.
"Huh? Why? I already apologized," Zceki said.
"Okay, apology accepted."
Zceki's mouth dropped open.
"Close your mouth, or a fly might get in," Red said.
Zceki closed his mouth.
Red and I looked at the man Blue had choked earlier.
Zerri was his name.
He wasn't looking at Blue, while Blue glared at him.
"Hey, Zerri...why don't you apologize?" Vyller shouted.
"Son?"
The old man who had pushed Blue spoke, as well as the other woman.
They must be his parents.
Zerri took a deep breath and looked seriously at Blue.
"Sorry," he said, and immediately turned away.
Red approached Blue.
"Is that enough for you, Blue?" Red asked.
"No," Blue responded.
"What did he do to you that makes it hard for you to forgive him?" Red asked.
"Shut up, Red...stop asking," Blue said angrily.
Red seemed annoyed too.
"What's going on with you?!" Red shouted. "Did he make you feel useless?!"
"I SAID SHUT UP RED!!! YOU KEEP REPEATING YOURSELF...IT'S INFURIATING!"
Blue suddenly shouted.
"I'M JUST SAYING, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO YELL AT ME BECAUSE I'M NOT DEAF. WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, BLUE?! WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?! WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM?!" Red shouted back.
Blue shouted, "I said shut up Red! I SAID SHUT UP!!!!"
Oh no!! They're shouting at each other.
I quickly intervened.
"Hey, stop fighting!" I scolded.
"It's annoying! Stop asking so many questions! Can't he understand I don't want to remember earlier!" Blue shouted.
Red was about to respond when Blue disappeared.
He teleported.
"Ugh! Why is he making such a big deal out of this?! He's so annoying!" Red shouted.
"Where did he go?!" Red asked, furrowing his brow.
"He must have teleported again!!!" Red said angrily.
"Red! When does Blue feel useless?!" I asked seriously.
"Well, when he feels he can't do anything for his loved ones like us---OH GOD!!"
It seemed Red realized something and covered her mouth.
Blue must have felt it because he couldn't do anything for us at that time.
Blue probably blames himself for us ending up here.
"Wait, I'm confused, what's your name? Are you siblings?" asked the old man.
"Blue teleported, I'm Red, and she is Yellow, we're triplets," I replied.
They were left speechless.
"Ah, I see, my name is Zoler...Zerri's grandfather."
"I'm Sera, his mother, and this is my husband, Reclyr."
Zceki's mother.
"I'm the mother of Kyller and Vyller, Ysa, and this is their father, Lerrson."
We nodded.
We know them now, but the three behind them, we don't know yet.
"They are Casper, Jerper, and Neo," Wilpen said.
We just nodded.
We sat on the bed, side by side.
"We'll move you to another room...since there's no roof there," Gramps Zoler said.
"This is fine..." I said.
"We'll leave now, be careful around, they'll guide you around," Mrs. Ysa said.
We nodded, and the parents left.
They just stared at us.
The six of them are familiar...where have I seen them?
Except for Casper, where have I seen them?
I approached Kyller.
I stared at each of them.
Kyller, Vyller, Zerri, Jero, Wilpen, and Zceki.
Where have I seen these six?
"Hmm, have we met?" I asked.
The six of them exchanged glances.
"Your voice is familiar," Vyller said.
"Why, Yellow?? Have you met before?" Red asked.
"I think so...when?" I asked.
Could they be the six in the darkness on Pester Mountain?
My appearance was different there.
Wait...let me see if they are indeed them.
So, I prayed to change my wig and turn my eyes black, changed my clothes to a gray dress.
"YOU!!!" the six shouted.
