You may all now start jumping up and down with excitement, for I have finally updated this story! :D
I finally got organized and I am trying go finish up some of my older stories! This is the first one!
NOW READ ON and don't forget to review at the end!
The three oldest sons of Ipswich tumbled down the darkened path. Trees stood out against the moon's light, making shapes in the darkness. Patches of light spotted the ground, barely enough to see the roots that jumped out.
"Okay so what the hell do we do now Golden Boy?" Reid asked turning his overly dramatic pissed off face to Caleb. Even in the darkness the oldest son knew the expression that took over the blond. "Were in the middle of no-where and we lost Tyler."
"Reid," Caleb sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose fighting his raging migraine. "We can't panic, freaking out will only make this worse." Caleb placed his hand lightly on his brothers shoulders before letting them fall to his sides. "It doesn't make sense." he continued, stepping into a moon beam and dropping down onto a bolder. "We should have found Ty by now."
"Dude," Pogue interrupted slouching into a nearby tree, "We should have found him an hour ago."
"Let's think," The oldest muttered ignoring Pogue's comment, "Where could have Tyler gone?" The oldest looked between Reid and Pogue.
"Were in the middle of a fucking forest Caleb, there is no place to go!" Reid spat taking a seat on a nearby rock, disappearing into the darkness of the forest only his shoes spotlighted by the moon's light. "He would have stopped and waited. You know how much Baby Boy hates to be alone." Reid continued digging his foot into the ground. Silence fell between the three sons as the night animals came to life.
"We could use," Pogue muttered glancing at Caleb then in the direction of Reid. Their eyes slowly adjusted to the darkness and Reid's outline came into view. Caleb opened his mouth to argue but Pogue continued, "Listen Cay, it's almost ten, we're lost and we don't know where Tyler is. If there is anytime to use it would be now." The two teens locked eyes in a stare down, until the oldest broke.
"Fine." Caleb sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose again. "How do you plan to use?" He asked, "Ty doesn't have the power yet remember."
"Doesn't mean we can't contact him." Pogue countered, "Or we could try contacting one of our dads and work from there." The long haired teen shrugged his shoulders, then slid down the tree to rest on the ground.
"You want to return with out Tyler?" Reid asked with a look of shock plastered across his face. "We would never live it down. We'll never see sun light again! Do you realize how pissed our parents would be. If they found out we lost our Baby Boy, we would be ground forever."
"Cool it Reid." Caleb snapped interrupting the other boys rant.
"We can't contact our parents." Reid summarized, words dripping with emphasis.
"Fine, you come up with a better idea." Pogue spat crossing his arms over his chest, and leaning back to get comfortable, then waving his hand for Reid to continue.
"I will," The blond snarled back, "There's always trying to track him? Tyler might not have come into to his powers yet but there has to be something to tack, I mean our dads talk about the bond or some shit like that all the time."
Caleb sent a glare in Reid's direction, "Watch the language Reid." The oldest muttered sending an eye roll "And do you even know how to do something like that?"
"No... I don't." Reid shrugged, "But how hard could it be?" The blond pushed himself up from his rock and dusted off his jeans. "Just reach out for the power."
Caleb shot Pogue a questioning look, "Any other ideas?" The oldest asked. Gaining a quick head shake in response. Caleb sighed, and turned his gaze to the blond, "Fine." he mumbled. Reid looked to smug for Caleb's liking as the blonds eye's bled to black.
"What do you see?" Pogue whispered, as if afraid to disturb Reid.
"I," Reid hesitated, spinning in a circle, stopping abruptly to stare down the path they had just recently came from, "I see a glowing person." The blond answered, squinting down the path.
"Don't go towards the light," Pogue joked, wincing when Caleb shot him a glare.
"Is it Tyler?" Caleb asked, ripping his threatening gaze away from Pogue to watch Reid.
"It's defiantly someone with power." Reid muttered, the blonds eyes were glued to the figure in the distance. When the second youngest called to the power, the trees and nature seemed to melt away allowing him to see into the forest. Caleb and Pogue began to glow, Pogue a light green, and Caleb a crimson red. "Their is a figure that way," Reid sated, taking the first step, "Come on." The blond took off down the path, leaving Pogue and Caleb to follow behind.
The three boys darted through the woods, Reid leading the way to who they hoped was Tyler. "Reid are you sure your going the right way?" Caleb called, panting slightly to keep up.
"Yeah I'm sure," Reid yelled back, twisting slightly to shoot a look at the oldest son of Ipswich. "He's right over..." The blond began before plowing into a darkened person. Reid's eyes returned to blue, as the two went crashing to the ground, and a flash light flew into the air. A startled cry came from the bottom of the pile, followed by a deep grunt, neither of which came from Reid, or could have come from Tyler.
Reid began to panic as he pushed away from the unknown man and crawling across the forest floor. Caleb and Pogue let our screams, and grabbed Reid under the arms to hoist the blond to his feet. Mobility stopped there for the boys as they backed into a tree, frozen in fear.
The man on the ground, grabbed a hold of the fallen flash light and pointed it in the teens direction lighting up their horror stricken faces. "Caleb? Reid? Pogue?" the man grunted, lowering the light and pushing himself off the ground.
"Uncle Glen?" Pogue hissed placing a hand on his heart and attempting to catch his breath.
The man before them chuckled, turning the flash light to shine it on his face, features lit up and the three were able to recognize Tyler's dad standing before them. "Where have you three been?" Mr. Simms asked, lowering the flash light to the ground and signaling for the boy's to follow him. "Everyone is worried sick about you."
"Uumm..." Caleb trailed off, shooting Reid and Pogue panicked looks. How do you tell a man you lost his son.
"If your worried about Tyler, he is fine." Glen called over his shoulder, "He called us a few hours ago, and said you guys got lost. He asked if we could come get him, but said you three wanted to try and find your own way out."
"So Ty has been out of the forest for the last two hours?" Caleb asked, unsure if he should be angry at Tyler for leaving them, or glad that he was okay.
"Yep," Glen nodded, the motion barely noticed in the darkness. "He insisted that you guys wanted to find your own way out and we should let you wonder for a while. But as it got later we decided that to start looking."
At that moment Pogue, Reid, and Caleb all silently agreed that Tyler is brilliant, but was so dead when they got out.
"Here we are," Mr. Simms announced, taking the last few steps to the parking lot and waiting for the boys to join him on the concrete. "Free at last, right boys?" the man chuckled to himself. Across the parking lot sat a circle of cars. A silver car, blue pick up truck and an S.U.V. light up the parking lot. "Hey!" Glen yelled waving his arms round in the air and beginning the short trek, "I found them!"
Caleb, Reid, and Pogue were greeted by their parents and pulled into hugs. The three were surrounded by adults as blankets were thrown over their shoulders, and hot chocolate shoved into their hands. Once their safety was insured, the lectures began. But as their parents ranted about the do's and dont's of wondering around in the forest, Pogue, Reid and Caleb turned their attention to finding Tyler. Eyes scanned the cars and surrounding area searching for their still lost brother.
"Where is Ty?" Reid interrupted, shoving the blanket off his shoulders to cross his arms over his chest. Even though Tyler had left them to wonder the forest, they still worried about the absents of their Baby Brother.
"He and his mom went to get some food." Pogue's dad informed. All the adults, resisted smiles at the worry in their children's faces. It was sweet how their children cared for each other even if they wouldn't admit it. "They should be here..." Mr. Perry was cut off by the appearance of two head lights down the road. Blanket hit the ground and cups were shoved back into parents hands as Reid, Pogue and Caleb made a mad dash to the car as it pulled up.
Mrs. Simms barely had time to put the car in park before it was hit by three teenage boys. Tyler signaled for his brothers to move out of the way, and waited for them to step back before unlocking the door. The brunette hesitated, before sliding out of the car and slamming the door closed to stand before his brothers.
Mrs. Simms climbed out of the drivers seat and joined her husband to watch their son, and his friends actions.
The parking lot was silent aside from the sounds of nature. Caleb was first to react, "I am going to kill you," the oldest mumbled grabbing a hold of Tyler's arm. The brunette's eyes flashed in terror before he was pulled into a hug with the oldest son. "They might not admit it," Caleb continued whispering into the top of Tyler's head, "but we were all worried when we couldn't find you." The two broke apart, and Caleb shifted to stand at Tyler's right.
Pogue and Reid were looking anywhere but at Tyler, attempting to control their emotions. The older they became the less emotions and physical contact the four sons of Ipswich shared. The middle sons always had a hard time expressing how they feel, and having their parents watching didn't help much either.
Pogue was next, as he pulled Tyler into a hug, The future biker didn't say anything as he held Tyler to his chest. A few moments passed till they broke apart and Pogue slid to Tyler's left. Tyler shot him a smile and turned towards is remaining brother.
"That was a mean joke." Reid mumbled, kicking at the ground.
"You tackled me." Tyler answered, eyes falling to his shoes. The youngest son felt bad about leaving his brothers in the forest. At the time it seemed like an awesome prank, but now all Tyler felt was guilty. "I'm sorry." He whispered.
"Just don't fucking do it again, Baby Boy." the blond hissed, grabbing an unexpected Tyler and pulling him into a hug.
"I wont." Tyler assured, accepting Reid's hug with a smile. The younger sons pulled apart and the four brothers were left standing in a tight circle smiling at each other.
"Alright boys," Mr. Perry called, drawing in the boys attention. "It is time to move out." Pogue, Caleb, and Reid all opened their mouths to argue. "Don't worry, you are all spending the night at our place." the man chuckled, pulling open the door to his S.U.V. "Now everyone in!" he commanded. The brothers took off running, Caleb climbing into the front seat while Pogue, Reid, and Tyler loaded into the back. Pogue climbed in, and slid across the seat to the other end of the car. Tyler was next and ready to jump in when a hand came out and slapped him in the back of the head.
The brunette turned confused to Reid, who stood with his arm still raised and smirk on his face. "What was that?" Tyler asked with a frown.
"That was for leaving us." Reid snickered, shoving Tyler lightly into the car. "Now get it so we can leave."
The brunette scowled but followed orders and climbed into the truck and buckling in next to Pogue. Reid followed the youngest in and slammed the door on his way. With a small click Reid was safely buckled in and ready to go. "We good?" Mr. Perry asked, eying the sons in the back through the rear view mirror. Pogue, Reid and Tyler nodded, and the truck began to move, heading towards the Perry house. Tyler shifted between Pogue and Reid, both boys sitting a little closer then normal, as if determined to remain in contact. But Tyler let it go and watched the road though the front window every once in a while making eye contact when Caleb glanced back.
Okay here is the deal people... For now this is the end of this story. But I am not so happy on how it turned out so I am thinking about adding a chapter and shoving it forward to "the present". So have this as almost a flash back and then have thoughts about that day from Tyler and how leaving his brothers in the forest has come back to haunt him. Would anyone want me to write that?
Let me know!
AND REVIEW PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE PLASE PLASE! :D
