Life's Passing

The sun light started to shine into the window on Juliet's face and it hit me then that we had stayed up all night talking to each other. "Come on let's go down stairs." I said excite for the day. I had decided we could all get together and go walk in the woods to see if we could find any more information. I grabbed Juliet's hand and he headed for the kitchen. I saw Jake through the little window on the door and opened it. "Good morning Jake!" I boasted . He jumped and the bowl that he had in his hand went flying across the room at me. I ducked my head just before it could hit me. 'What the fuck!" I shouted loud enough to wake everyone else in the house. 'Why?" I yelled confused but also laughing slightly. "I didn't.... I mean... what just happened?" Jake asked looking at his hands. "I swear I don't think I just did that?" Jake said looking a little frightened. I nodded it off and grabbed a bowl myself sitting down at the large kitchen table. We all sat there eating our cereal and talked about what I had wanted to do today. "That sounds good to me. Especially if you keep having dreams in the words. But if we see that little boy I'm fucking running." Jake said shoving his face with cereal.

Everyone else got up eventually only slightly hindered by Ashley who was hungover. As we made our way to the other side of town where the cemetery was we looked around the town to take in all the little charms it had. There was a little grocery store that sold farm fresh meats right beside an Elementary school. A small convenient store along with a photography shop. The sign in the window was advertising 50% off for senior pictures. The sun flared threw the trees and their leaves radiantly and the sky was a perfect blue. I had to say if I ever did retire and had to settle down this place wouldn't be bad.

We stopped into a small store and got a couple bottles of water and a few snacks to shove into our back packs for the trip. " Where're you guys headed?" The lady at the register asked curiously. "Devil's Chair. Some where in the woods up there. Were from out of town and someone told us to check it out." Ashley explained to as he checked out a weeks worth of beef jerky. The lady nodded and smiled a little bit. "It has a nice view from all the way up there but it's mostly for all the kids in town that don't want to get caught smoking their pot." She laughed a little bit. "Do you know how to get there?" She asked. We explained the route that we were going to take and she waved her hand at us. "No, no, no. Listen go up the mountain behind this street here and you will come to a fork in the road with an A framed house. Walk by their back yard fence and into the woods you will see a small trail. Now be careful. You're walking on the side of a mountain,okay. Also there might be some fallen trees you'd had to climb or shimmy under." She spoke the words like she had been there a million times herself and with that we were off.

She was not kidding when she said that we would be walking up a mountain. By the time we made it up S. Washington street the guys were nearly dead. I was kinda glad I was a vampire now. We stopped at the top of the mountain by the A frame house for our first break. "Jesus, you think that jumping around on stage all crazy like would have prepared us for this." Jinxx joke. "Yes, singing rock n' roll music would prepare us for looking for ghosts in the woods." Ashley said mockingly back. I cleared my throat to interject. "Actually, he's a demon." I spoke and laughed as I started to walk towards the back yard.

After tumbling our way through the forest we finally reached the rock formation that we had been looking for. The chair made of rock practically hung on the edge of a cliff over looking the back side of town that wrapped around the mountains. "Wonder what would happen if you sat in it Andy?" I reached up the rock to try to climb it finding I could make my way up to it quite easily. I sat down on to the cold stone and looked up into the sky leaning my head back on the back of the rock and letting my feet dangle over the edge. It was peaceful for a moment the slight breeze whipped threw the trees and was carried away by the current of the river below.
I heard the faint echo of my name but I ignored it finally finding peace. I opened my eyes to see that the sky had gone grey. The leaves had stopped moving and the sun vanished but it was still calm. "You love this don't you." I heard my own voice say. " Only when you have reached some point of evil have you finally found your own solace." I agreed with the voice and continued up to look up to the sky. I had a feeling of warmth rush over me to the point of exsticy. "Feed off of this. This is the power that you have longed for. Sit on this thrown and become more of a devil yourself. Give into it and feel all of the magnificence we can have together." For whatever reason I wanted to listen to the evil voice in my head that masqueraded itself as me. My hands rose into the air and felt the wind whip around them and before I knew it my whole body was lifted off of the rock and I sore higher and higher into the air feeling as if I was wrapped in a blanket of acceptance. I felt needed here and like there was something lureing me in.

Ashley's POV
I yelled up for Andy as we saw his head fall backwards and onto the rock. He sat there for a few moments completly still ignoing us calling up to him. A thick cover of clouds came upon the sky suddenly and thunder rummble in the back ground. It was obvious that Andy was causing this some how. But that was it. We didn't know how. Andy lifted his hands into the air as a breeze came threw the trees again. It started to sprikle lightly and Andy's body was lifted into the air. I looked over to see Juliet's face in terror thinking the very same thing that I was. He's going to fall.

I looked around to see if there was anyway I could help then my eyes spotted Jake. He didn't stared up at Andy with out even blinking. His eyes were solid black and he seemed to hold his hands out in front of him as if he were holding something. What had happened to Jake that he wasn't telling us.

Andy arched backwards and floated higher and higher into the sky until he finally screamed. it wasn't out of pain though. It sounded a lot more like something he would do on stage. A loud crack of thunder roared over the valley and with that Andy started falling to the ground.
