So far away

*~ Matt~*

I drove back to my house as fast as I could before the rain really start to fall. I was nervous about asking her. It was such a huge deal and she was so unique. Even if she did say no I wanted to see her again. The probability of her ever talking to me again was slim to none.

I pulled into the drive and turned the car off. We got out and ran to the door. I opened it slowly and turned on some lights. I went to the closet in the hallway and got out some towels so we could dry off.

I handed her a towel and sat across from her looking at my hands. "So I don't mean to pry but you seem nervous." I looked up to meet her eyes. They were a silver gray color. Something like you would see in a movie.

"Youre eyes are so.. different." I mumbled with a smile.

"They change depending on my mood. Its weird I know." She looked away with a smile.

"So what mood is gray?"

"Anxious. Blue is happy. Silvery white is pissed and on very special occasions they turn a deep deep blue. I haven't really figured out why. My dad's does it too." She mumbled still looking away but at the mention of her dad's name the smile dropped. "But you didn't answer me. Why are you nervous?" She looked back at me with the same smile. It looked forced but I didn't want to pry.

I sat in silence wondering if I should just ask. What if she told someone? I would have to find her and hurt her and that was something I really didn't want to do. I got up and walked to the stereo system in the corner plugging my phone into it and searching for some music.

"I have a feeling its not something to do with my presence." She mumbled.

"I have a really weird question to ask you and you might never want to see me again but its not something I can easily avoid. But first I need to tell you a little more about me. Something you aren't going to deal with easily." I started.

*~Ivy~*

I started to sweat now. There were so many things tumbling around in my mind. My heart raced. Whatever he was about to tell me wasn't something easy. "A while back when I got out of high school, I met this kid Brian. His family was a little strange. Then one night we were at the movies when he got a call from his dad. Someone had shot his mom for no reason. Ever since then he was so enraged. We started to find these innocent people and... We killed them, Ivy. It started out just to get back at the world for letting go of such a good person. And now, We need more people to add to our group. That's where you come into play. I guess I should get to the point. Ivy, your perfect for this. Would you wanna join us?" He finished and looked up at me.

"W-what if I s-say no?" The words strangled to leave my body. He sat up and stared at me.

"Then I would have to hurt you and that's not something I want to do." He stated boldly. I could see something flash in his eyes. Is he a psychopath? At first it was for a good reason but innocent people? My breath hitched in my throat. It felt like someone was holding a gun to my head. I guess someone technically is. This is life or death. "It wouldn't be anyone you know. I know this is hard for you to wrap your head around but I need an answer right now."

"Why me? Why am I so perfect for this?" I whispered looking up at him.

"You have anger issues. Theres clearly something in you that hurts. You can release all of that." He sat next to me now. "And your mom and dad just kind of abandoned you. Doesn't that hurt?"

"My mom didn't have a choice."

"But your dad did."

"What happens if I ever don't want to do it?" I whispered looking into his eyes. I was really thinking about saying yes. I mean, he's right.

"We wont make you do anything you don't want to do. You will rarely have to hurt someone. You just have to lead them to me." He smirked holding my hand.

"Like a siren?"

"Just like that.So will you do it or at least try it?" He asked looking into my eyes.

"I guess I could try it. When do we start?"

"Probably tomorrow. Just depends when Brian gives us a call." He smiled widely now. "But for now, You should probably try to get some sleep." He said pulling me upstairs with him. I laid next to him staring at the ceiling. Did I really just agree to this?

Notes

The next chapter will actually have some blood shed in it. Thoughts?
