Winds Of The Apocalypse (30 page)

”This is not some ‘body’ Jon!” Morgan yelled, pulling Casey closer to him.

"This is our baby sister! Remember?! You could have killed her!!!"

”I’m sorry!” Jon looked at Casey, begging for her forgiveness.

“I’m sorry, the monsters were closing in on us, I couldn't leave you be
hind…I had to try.”

“It’s ok.” Casey said
, raising her hand to Jon’s tear struck face.

"Don't be mad, Morgan…"

Casey pleaded weakly, looking back at her angered brother.

"Jon got me out of there alive." She said, breathing in deeply and looking across the room at her friends, realizing, suddenly, that there was a new unwelcome
addition to their little gang.

"What the fuck is she doing here?!" Casey asked bluntly, pointing at the blond girl that
Colin had just set on her feet.

 
"She’s…"Colin gulped, looking at the others to help him.

”It’s May, C
asey…From our class, remember?"

"Yes, I remember." Casey crossed her arms over her chest, looking a lot more livid th
en she was mere seconds before.

"But I still don't get what she is doing here." She said in roil, her eyes searching for the one thing that they were meant to bring back.
 

"And where is Jon's body?!" Casey asked enraged, getting up from the bed Morgan had set her on, rejecting Morgan's helping hands as he tried to help her up from the covers.

Toby and Colin exchanged semi anxious looks, none of them wanted to be the ones to tell Casey about what had brought them to bring May back instead of Jon's body.

"It stayed behind…" Colin said eventually with a small voice, almost subconsciously taking a step back at Casey's shock
ed open mouth and balled fists.

"What?!"
Casey's body shook with rage, she couldn't believe at what she was hearing.

"We had to leave it behind…"Colin's voice became even less audible then it already was.

"What?!?!" Casey was beginning to see double.

"We had to!" Colin atte
mpted to justify their actions.

"The apocalypses were everywhere! They blocke
d our way and then we saw her…"

He glanced at May, realizing too late that it was the wrong move at that moment.

"WHAT??!! So all of this was for nothing?!" Casey was about ready to explode, her face as red as a ripe tomato.

"No! It wasn't!" Colin exhaled, he almost never saw Casey like this, and it was almost as bad as when Casey had thought that Din had killed her brother.

"We saved May!" Colin shook his head.

"This was not for nothing Casey! She was a prisoner of the apocalypse! We couldn't just leave her there!
We saved another human being!"

He pointed at the girl that stood beside h
im, still too shocked to speak.

"Of course you co
uld!" Casey screamed.

"You could let her rot for all I care! The point was not to save some bitch! We went there to save my brothers!"

Colin looked at her, astonished, that was a really cruel thing to say right in front of May. "C’mon Casey!!" Colin took a step closer. "You don’t actually mean that!"

Casey made a high pitched shriek; it was so high that it resembled wa
y too much the apocalypse howl.

"
Of course I fucking MEAN IT!!!"

Her volume went up a notch, making her friends to shrink back in silence.

"Don’t you bloody get that that was maybe the only chance we had to get Jon back?!" Casey asked, her tiny hands locked in tight whitening fists.

"Don't you bloody get that now they are going to move him, or worst, put him back into that chamber…?”

"But they were about to do that to May!" Colin interrupted him. "Don’t you care about that?" 

Casey bit her lip.

"No." She said lowly. "No! I don't fucking care! Better her then him!"

Casey didn't even notice Jon stand up until she felt Jon's comforting hand on her s
houlder. "Casey, please, calm…"

"I will not calm down!!!" Casey shook his hand
off and turned to him sharply.

"How can you be ok with this?!
They might as well fucking killed you!"

"Screaming won't help now…" Jon said quietly. "It would only make
you more upset."

Jon looked at May. "To save a
nother human…I'm fine with it."

"But I am not, I only wanted my bro
ther's back and instead I get…"

Casey turned to glare at Colin. "I
fucking hate you!” She hissed.

"You're worse than my fucking mother! At least her stupidity is obvious! Because of you I'm going to lose Jon forever!"

"Casey…" Colin tried to reason with her again. "Casey, please…"

"No! Don't Casey me!" Casey spat. "What you did wa
s stupid! It was plain moronic!

Or maybe I shouldn’t blame you, after all you're just a stupid little boy and maybe if you wouldn't have been thinking with your dick but with your mind you would have known that! Fuck!!!"

"Casey!"

"Shut up!"

No one was able to stop what happened next. Casey had sprung forward; Colin didn't even see it coming. Casey's fist collided with his cheek bone and then her other hand punched Colin's stomach, sending him tumbling down to the floor, as Casey stood above him, panting in rage, straining to balance herself.

"Fucking shut up Colin! Just shut up…" Casey whispered
, shaking her hands free from her fists and then marching up to the door and completely ignoring May disappearing through it, slamming the door behind her as hard as she possible could.

Chapter fourteen: Miss Carla's secret

Colin looked lost; he didn't even try to get up from the floor, he didn't have the strength to face what he had done to deserve this treatment.

"I'm sorry…" He whispered, raising his blue eyes to meet Morgan's brown one
s.

Morgan shook his head.

"Should have expected her to react like this… Don't worry." He let out a sigh.

"I'll go talk to her." Morgan decided, getting up from the bed and squeezing Jon's shoulder supportably for a moment, left the room after his sister, leaving his friends to deal with their new unexpected co
mplication, the girl named May.

It didn't take a genius to figure out e
xactly where Casey had gone to.

Morgan knew from bitter experience that whenever Casey was hurt, sad or upset she would go to the highe
st place she could find around,

‘To see the world from a different perspective’, Casey would tell him
every time he found her there.

She did it when their parents divorced, Morgan laughed to
himself as he remembered the fire brigade getting his annoyed little sister kicking and screaming off the roof top of their old house.

She did it when they went on their first day of school and the teachers had denied them from sitting together. This time the suicide counselor was involved as Casey managed to get up to the top floor of the building and sat on the edge of the ninth floor window for an hour. And again a few years later, on the day
that Morgan had almost drowned.

He couldn't get her down from that lake side high tree until he had called Greg a
nd his mother.

So, naturally, Morgan had went outside and raised his chin up, looking at all the high places he could see from that area, he hoped to god that Casey didn't find another way up a tall tree cuss if he didn't know how to climb it then when he was a full human with a tangible body he sure as hel
l didn't know how to do so now.

"Huh." Morgan smiled as he spotted the raven hair flying in the wind on top of a sad looking face as Casey leaned against the edge of their schools roof, looking down at
the afternoon gardens.

“Go away.” Casey mattered the second Morgan had stepped foot out
the door that led to the roof.

Morgan was quiet in his walk but Casey seemed to h
ave some sort of radar for him.

Casey sensed Morgan standing there behind her, looking at her from ab
ove, sighing to himself loudly.

"C'mon, Casey," Morgan took a few steps forward. "You know as well as I do that running away is
not the answer.” Casey smirked.

“I would have murdered Colin but that it is not the answer either, is it?” She asked smiling, still not looking b
ack at her approaching brother.

Morgan smirked.

"No, I'm afraid it isn't." Morgan closed the distance between them, sitting down by his twin.

"Look," Morgan said, raising his hand to Casey's chin and gently turning Ca
sey's face towards him.

"Me and Jon, we are depending on you to get our bodies back so we can both come back to you, we can’t do it without you, and y
ou are the hero of this story."

"Well, I don't want to be the hero any
more. I resign." Casey groaned.

"Pick someone else; maybe that
blond bitch can do it better."

"Her name is May." Morgan smiled. "You shouldn’t be this negative, she can never take your place and besides, where is
you're famous fighting mode that I’ve been hearing so much about?” Casey blushed.

"It’s gone with the wind, went away with Jon’s body.” Morgan shook his head.

"Then get it back. Get them both back, fight for what you want Casey." Casey huffed.

“I thought that that was what I was doing, but my stupid friends are getting in my w
ay.”

Morgan let out a little laugh.

"I need you to help us fight these creatures Casey."

"And mom. D
on't forget mom." Casey smiled.

"Yes, mom too.
The worse of our current problems.” He grabbed Casey's arm and pulled Casey closer, messing a little with her long black hair.

"Hey!" Casey tried to fight him off but Morgan
wasn't letting go that easily.

"And besides," Morgan conclu
ded, laughing as he let her go.

"You know that if you will just drop the towel now and let Colin and Toby handles the situation the world would probably come to an end next week…Probably tomorrow even, now how will yo
u have that on your conscious?”

"I'll live." Casey growled.

"I won’t." Morgan said, looking at Casey, trying to figure out the unreadable expression she had in her features.

"So what do you say, little sister?” Morgan p
ushed her to the side a little.

"Are you going to let Toby and Colin help the apocalypse, well, bringing the apocalypse? Or are we going back and you resuming your place as the team leader to save
the world again?"

Casey huffed, nodding slowly, surrenderi
ng to her brother's sweet talk.

“Fine…" Casey said, looking for the last time at the green trees billow and then pulling herself off the rooftop floor,
waiting for Morgan to join her.

"But Colin and Toby better find a way to
deal with this blond nuisance,"

"Casey…"

"No, I'm serious." Casey argued, crossing her hands across her chest.

"Cuss I have two brothers to worry about and I won't add some blond bimbo to my worry list. Colin and Toby can do whatever they want with her, I am not going to lift a finger to help her adjust to this situation
she happens to get herself in.”

Morgan laughed at Casey's annoyed disposition and then they, crossed armed went back to their bedroom with Casey going at the slowest pace t
hat she possibly could produce.

“So what did you decide to do with her?” Morgan asked Toby as they opened the door and entered the bedroom to find May sitting on his bed with Colin standing beside her and with Jon and Toby standing a litt
le off to the side.

“I will join you.” May raised her eyes to Morgan who she defiantly saw and finally spoke for the first time
since any of them had met her.

"Oh what a surprise."
Casey growled, looking at Morgan. "She can see you."

"Me too apparently."
Jon said, getting closer to his siblings.

"Great." Casey looked down at May, her expression hard, god forbid she will do anyt
hing to help May feel welcomed.

"Anything else?"

“They told me everything." May said as she gestured at Toby and Colin.

"Lovely. Did you get her some tea to go with the bedtime story and gave her a pedicure as well?" Casey huffed sarcastically but May had a
cted as if she didn't hear her.
