Re: Cliff Meets the Spooky Twins.
"Cliff come to Bed."
"In a minute."
She huffed and folded her arms tightly, scowling at his back and laxing her ears faintly.
"Cliff, did you hear me?"
"Yes, I heard you Amanda. I'm sorry, I'm just really worrying..."
She let her eyes follow him as he gently sat himself down on the bed, before she sighed, sitting up and wrapping her arms gently around his torso.
"About what, Cliff?"
"Everything...first my dad, then my mom...Jim once, Rachel...I don't think I'm going to be able to take anything else."
"Cliff..."
"No, Amanda. I'm sorry," he practically ghosted, getting up from the bed and disappearing into the shadow just outside their door. She frustratedly hurled the blankets off and went to run after him, but James gently caught her arm and shook his head, his eyes wide with hurt.
"Let him go...he needs time just like all of us...it's been a pretty hellish...well, you know."
"You're too far beyond your years...c'mere," she whispered, wrapping him into a tight hug. James squeezed her back, nuzzling his head against her shoulder.
"Things'll work out eventually...Everybody handles things differently..."
"Dad...I know you can hear me."
"No I can't."
"I don't have time to play around."
"Y-"
His dad sighed heavily and put one of his freezing, transparent hands on his shoulder, squeezing tightly.
"No you Don't."
"What's that supposed to mean...?"
"You haven't been reading the signs?"
He looked up, the dark circles under his eyes glinting in the moon's fullness. There were stars, but his father gently traced his finger above a few of them. They made a crooked, split heart-like shape.
"I'm not an astonomist..."
"James is. Both of them, they know what's going to happen."
"You're not going to tell me are you?"
"I'm not supposed to, I could get into a lot of trouble. But I will."
His dad held his arm out in front of him, and showed him the slightly blackened veigns in his arm.
"Now look at Yours."
He frowned and lay his arm accross his knees, staring down into the deeper veigns in his thin, pale arms.
"What do You see?"
A loud crash rang in his ears and what looked like black blood splattered onto his skin and clothes. He clenched his fist and almost growled.
"Which one of us?"
"The last one you suspect."
"NO!"
"Hey, Jim? Wanna come with me to get some grocerries? It'd getcha outta the house."
"Alright..."
He smiled hopefully, offerring Jim the keys. Jim shook his head, smiling slightly with, "It's two blocks...we can carry a five pound bag of sugar, some tea bags, and a sack of potatoes two measly blocks."
"Okay, okay. You win."
He chuckled and pocket the keys, sighing a little bit at the bright sun.
"James you're too happy...Never quit. Okay?"
"I didn't really intend to."
Jim ruffled his red mop lightly and smiled, looking both ways despite the crosswalk's walk signal and trotting accross a bit quickly. He shrugged and followed suit, figuring a little paranoia was in order. Especially with what'd been going on.
Edit: Anyone who wants the ending, send me an Email PM, not an Inbox PM.
