Life's Passing

Bekah followed me as I showed her all around the house. We had gotten a drink in the kitchen and then I showed her upstairs and she picked out a room. It had a view of the north side of town and seemed to glow into the window. Snow was still falling from the sky and seemed to blanket the whole town. Everything was quite.

I left Bekah to herself then and walked down the hallway to check on Jake. I opened the door to see a giant circle drawn on the floor. Leslie was sleeping in his bed and Jake was asleep in on of his side chairs. I closed the door hoping that they would be able to help each other out. I went to Juliet then. She had been quite all evening. I looked inside to see her sitting on her laptop. "Hey Juliet, how are you doing? I asked. I walked in and sat down beside her on the bed. She was crying and looking threw pictures of Andy. She laid her head on my shoulder and let out another sob. I wrapped my arms around her trying to comfort her. I couldn't imagine how she felt right now.

After a cup of tea and some Netflix Juliet eventually fell asleep as well. I walked back down the stairs to see Ashley getting up out of the floor. "Wanna help me clean the kitchen?" I asked. He nodded and walked threw the kitchen doors. The dinner that Juliet had prepared was still laying there on the table. I walked over to the sink and started to run some dish water when I heard glass break. I looked behind me to see Ashley standing over what had been Andy's bowl from earlier. " He fucking gone." Ashley whispered finally breaking down. He had kept it in for too long. He pulled a chair out and sat down letting his cries come out. I went to the cabinet and grabbed a bottle of Jack and places it in front of him. I knew how he liked to kill his sorrows. "He was here eating with all of us, and now we will never see him again. How do we explain this to people? What are his parents going to think? We don't even have his body. We cant even give him a funeral!" I thought over his words for the first time. I had no idea. How could we even explain why we were out here? Could any of us even go back?

Ashley sat and drank while I cleaned the kitchen. He would reinstate his questions every now and then and I would reply. I really needed to learn how to use my powers a bit better. I could comfort and heal it other than that not much else. I might have been able to save Andy if I had known better. I turned to Ashley once everything was clean. "We need to get everyone together tomorrow. We need to go into this together. Have one big game plan." He nodded and stood up with a wobble. "That's sounds like the best thing to do." He said and then moved to go upstairs. I followed behind him making sure he was alright. I saw Jinxx laying down on the couch. " Are you going to sleep there?" I asked. He nodded." I'm going to clean my room tomorrow. Its too much to do tonight." I nodded in reply then headed to my room. It was nice to be alone for a while. I laid down on the bed after a quick shower and soon fell asleep.

I had a dream full of visions. Jake murdering someone, which terrified the hell out of me. Then Leslie standing beside him, both of their eyes black. I saw Bekah surrounded by a glowing warm light. I saw Andy in a forest alone, looking scared and pale. Then I saw Maharet. She walked over to me and tried to tell me something. I struggled to listen threw all the obscure imagines. "Its going to be fine. He's alright." She said. I looked at her confused. "Who?" I tries to ask but then she was gone and I was left alone to see only darkness.

Jake's POV

I picked Leslie up and put her on my bed. She didn't need to sleep on the floor. I grabbed one of the spare blankets from my closet and sat in an arm chair that faced a window. I had a magnificent view of a stop light that kept blinking. I watched as it slowly changed between red and green. I counted the number of times it changes hoping this would put me to sleep. Instead, it was the snow that got me. I tried to watch one single flake until it hit the ground or window. Then it all seemed to disappear. Thank god.

I dreamed vividly of a murder I took place in. It looked like it happened long ago in some different time period. I've and over I kills this man. Letting him hang from the gallows as everyone in the town watched and cheered. They cried out to him calling him a witch. I could help but be offended by that a little but then again dream me didn't. He cheered along with everyone else. I looked around the crowd of people at all the faces. Some looked angry others looked proud. One seemed to stand out though. I couldn't help but stare. There he was in normal modern day clothes. Andy watched on in terror of the event he was seeing. It was really him. He saw that I noticed him then and ran towards me, pushing people out of the way. He managed to get to the front of the crowd before a clergyman separated us. Andy tried to yell over the hord of people. I listened harder. "That's Matthew!" He screamed as loud as he could and with that I woke up with a jump and nearly fell out of the chair.
