Chapter 121 - One Hundred And Twenty-one : Stalking Trevor
Trevor lay on his bed waiting patiently for the clock to strike twelve while stroking the card in his hand, at the moment it was fifty-five minutes to twelve - he still needed five more minutes.
Truth be told, he didn't know what he was expecting anyway but he just had a feeling - call it a sixth sense or something - but he feels, that his world would be thrown upside down, pretty soon .
From the start, he had always felt this town was strange. Unexplainable events keep happening yet it's swept under the carpet and people go about their business as if it's nothing - like they're used to it
But he wasn't used to it.
He had initially thought the town was root deep in occultism but it was way more than that, yet he couldn't exactly explain it.
Yes, strange things happened in the city where he lived before, but there you don't get to see people with chalky pale skins and sometimes blood-red eyes or some people tell you to stay away from certain people cause they're witches.
He has being hearing things - rumours - and they claim whatever happened to the Garcia's home was supernatural and not an earthquake as the authorities claim -
The flow of his thoughts was suddenly interrupted when the alarm he had set with his phone went off - It was twelve.
Trevor lifted the card and glanced at it, expecting what he couldn't describe with words to happen - perhaps some abracadabra - but when nothing happened, he sighed and let his hand fall back on the bed.
He must have been stupid enough to expect something out of this world , he got fooled - he would surely give that Will guy a piece of his mind when he gets a hold of him .
Absentmindedly Trevor reached for the card, wanting to take a second glance but gasped sharply and threw away the card from shock when out of the corner of his eyes, he saw something blink .
Heart hammering against chest , Trevor watched the card resting on the ground in horror. What just happened? He swore he just saw something blink on that card and there was no way that could've been a dream.
He swallowed and then hardened his heart against the fear that clutched him as he bent and reached for the card slowly yet cautiously, but something happened.
The moment he touched the card, the blinking arrow cursor came alive and he let go with a gasp. What the hell is going on?
Just to be sure, he touched the blank card and the blinking cursor appeared again and this time Trevor wasn't scared but fascinated.
He swiftly picked up the card and stood to his feet but was dumbfounded when the cursor changed direction and a red spot appeared on the card too as Will's words hit him.
"Once the clock strikes twelve at midnight, go to wherever this card leads you "
His eyes moved to the clock ; it was five minutes past the hour of twelve, could it be.....
Trevor's eyes widened, this was definitely some kind of GPS but then fear clutched his heart again, this just proved the fact that there were things happening in this town that were beyond human apprehension.
He had a feeling his world was about to be rocked.
Trevor searched through his wardrobe and ended up donning a dark hoodie and blank pants ; it was already dark and he needed something to camouflage with his surroundings
So he quietly opened his door and peeped around,making sure the coast was clear before he snuck out of his room and made his way to the living room.
Meanwhile, Rex has been gaming all night and just when he decided to go steal a snack from the fridge, he caught his brother sneaking out of the house.
A sheepish smile tugged his mouth, he bet his brother was up-to no good, so he decided to stalk him.
He had watched a lot of movies and played a lot of games and thanks to that, he had learned how to follow someone without getting noticed and though his brother might be on toes but he's naturally not vigilant.
But Rex was confused, did his brother not know where he was going? Sometimes he would just walk in circles , other times he would stop at a place and retrieve his steps before heading to another direction, making it incredibly difficult to follow him without getting caught.
But Rex prevailed, he was a strong kid and would see this to the end. So from a good distance, he watched Trevor glance at something in his hand and then enter an unfamiliar building.
Without warning, he followed too and sprint down a long hallway but there was no sign of his brother. Where did he....?
Rex let out an 'oof ' sound when he was forcefully pushed to the wall.
"Why are you following... Rex? " Trevor pulled down his hood and stared at his brother wide-eyed with confusion and then shock.
" Hi " Rex waved and flashed him a sheepish smile
" What are you doing here? " Trevor asked surprised.
" What do you think, duh, I was following you " Rex said to his brother derisively.
Trevor massaged his brow "You need to go back home " he ordered.
Rex objected " Of course not! How can a little kid like me walk such a kilometer back home by this time of the night? "
Trevor raised a brow " You should have thought of that before stalking me "
A mischievous smile appeared on Rex's face " Fine then, I'll go home all by myself and perhaps mom might be interested in hearing - "
" You wouldn't dare ! " Trevor interjected
"Oh you know I would and what's this you're holding " He said and before Trevor could react, he had took the card from his grasp.
"Hey you, give it back ! " Trevor ordered but Rex gave a deaf ear to him and was instead fascinated with the way the card lit up upon touch.
"My oh my, this is awesome ! What is this?! where did you get... " Rex ducked to the side just as Trevor tried to reach for him.
"Nana nana boo boo,?stick?your head in?doo doo, you can't catch me !" Rex said and then blows raspberries at Trevor.
Infuriated Trevor tried to grasp onto him determinedly , but in the process of dodging him Rex lost a footing and fell.
But instead of banging his head hard on the impregnable wall, Rex moved through the concrete wall ; the way a knife would slice through a jelly, as if there had been no wall at all to start with.
What the hell.
