Just tell me what anda think, :)     






Aria Glass sat on puncak, atas of her house with an unopened bir in her hand and her eyes on the sky. It was a beautiful night and Toby and Jared where at it again. Jared had become lebih quick-tempered than usual, barking at almost everything. Neither boy’s where good at their temper control and over the years Aria had learned to let boys be boys and fight it out themselves. But Aria could take them both, Aria smirked at this thought, true atau not they would never hurt her.
    But she did hate it when they fought, although they were brothers, they did not need to get as physical as they did. If only they could save their anger for the things that deserved their rage.
The moon shined high above, the night sky was cloudless and beautiful. Aria only wished Jared and Toby where up here to enjoy it with her.
“Oh shut up, Jared!” Toby’s voice boomed from below, as Jared did not respond, Aria assumed a meninju, pukulan was thrown. That’s all they needed in this chaos, lebih chaos. She sighed deeply as she got off the room and walked inside, sure enough Tony was holding his nose, which was bleeding with blood, and Jared was smirking, clearly satisfied with himself.
“You okay?” Aria asked Toby ignoring a glare from Jared as she asked him. Toby nodded, rage in his eyes. She walked away hoping it was over and decided it be best if she went and got some sleep. Lucky for her it came quick, most nights she lied awake staring at the walls.
Aria sipped her coffee the selanjutnya morning as she listened to Jared try and talk Toby into going on a tanggal with the girl he had ran into yesterday. Jared was pretty proud of Toby since he usually was not into getting girls numbers. Toby had this thing where he was always afraid he would get the girl into trouble with what he brought with him.
“Come on Toby! anda berkata it yourself that anda like her, why don’t anda call her. anda have not been on a tanggal since before anda graduated. That’s a long damn time.” Toby sighed and looked down at his coffee that he had not taken a sip of since he poured it and was now running cold.
    “You know what happened last time!” Toby finally barked, “She almost died and called the cops on me, I don’t want to deal with that again.”
“You won’t, we will make sure of it! Right Aria,” he berkata smiling at her, she nodded and patted Toby on the back.
“Yeah, we can go on patrol atau what-not. We got your back, not many demons can slip past our radar,” Jared leaned back in his chair with a, you’re going to do it look.
“Plus anda saved the last girl, and the demon that attacked anda was a level one demon. It was an easy kill.” Jared got hard glares from both Aria and Toby for akting like it was no big deal, but he just shrugged it off and took another sip of his coffee, which Aria could tell he had but a few hits of whisky in it since he was on his third cup. Plus the bottle of whisky was right selanjutnya to the coffee maker, far from the liquor cabinet.
“Isn’t it a little early for that?” Jared looked at Aria akting like he had no clue what she was talking about. Aria was a little worried about him, ever since the Healer had been bothering them he had been drinking non-stop, the amount of money they were spending on alcohol had almost tripled in the last two months. Since Aria was only twenty and not old enough to buy bir yet she had no control of it, but she wished he could find a way to make him stop.
“I don’t care if it was not atau me, she could be living without the nightmares I have shown her!”
“Toby,” Jared berkata glaring at his brother, “You are going to call this girl and have a good time! That’s an order!”
“An order, who the hell are anda to give me orders?” Toby stood up so fast he makes his chair scrap against the wood floor.
“I’m your older brother anda gotta do what I say!” Jared mimicked his brother’s actions and stood up, but he had a smile on his face unlike Toby.
“No I don’t! I’m old enough too – “he was cut off oleh Jared giving him a hug like he was drunk, but it was too early and too soon for Jared to be drunk. As Jared pulled away he laughed and ran like a fool into the other room. “What the – damn it. Jared, give me my phone!” Toby berkata running after Jared.
Aria chuckled and followed them into the family room where Jared was on the phone, he had a huge smile on his face.
“Hello is this Anna?” Aria had to choke back at a laughed as she realized Jared was calling the girl Toby was reluctant to call and ask for a date. Toby looked furious as he tried but failed to grab the phone from Jared. “Yeah this is his brother Jared.” There was a short paused then Jared did a loud jolly laugh. “You want to talk to him? Here he is” Jared shoved the phone into Toby’s hand and smiles.
Toby walked out of the room before saying hello, as soon as Toby was out of sight Aria walked up to Jared and smiled, “Nice! He really needs that date.” Jared nodded and relaxed into the couch.
“He will thank me later, “Jared then turned on the sports channel and Aria went into the dapur to clean up, (although Toby would probably fix it up later) the first thing to go was Jared’s alcohol coffee down the drain. Then she cleaned the dished until Toby came into the room with a large smile on his face. He purposely ignored Jared as he passed him and sat right down at the table.
“So, when’s the date?” Aria asked sitting down selanjutnya to him.
“Tonight, I’m taking her out to makan malam then, as a surprise, out dancing.” He smiled brightly at Aria like it was the best hari of his life, because it probably was.
“Toby anda are the sweetest, aren’t anda glad Jared did that?”
“Yeah but I’m not going to tell him,” He berkata with a chuckled and leaned back in his chair. Aria finished doing what she could before Toby butted in and berkata he would finish.
“Hey if anda get married to this girl I’m going to hire anda to clean my house” Aria berkata over her shoulder as she exited the kitchen.
“Shut up!” Toby laughed throwing a towel at her. Aria sat oleh Jared a hint of laughter still on her face, but it soon vanished as she saw his face. It looked like his jaw was clenched tight and although his eyes were on the TV Aria could tell that his mind was nowhere near what was playing on the screen. As odd as it sounded, it was scary when Jared was thinking as deeply as he was at this moment, he went deeper into things and soon almost everything pissed him off. Aria was unsure if she should disturb him atau not, it’s not like she had anything importation to tell him. So she just grabbed the remote from him and changed the channel. The fact that Jared did not say anything was proof he was not paying attention.
    Aria flicked on some movie that was playing on TV, the movie was unknown to her but it looked interesting, there really was never anything good on the TV. The movie was 300, Aria found this out when Toby came into the room; it was one of Toby’s favorit war movies. Sex, gore, action, that’s Toby’s kind of move.
    As Aria was finally getting into the movie when it started again, the annoying chatters that she could not control. Getting angry, as it slowly got louder, she grabbed her headset and IPod and walked out the door. Neither Toby nor Jared questioned her as she waved goodbye and plugged herself into loud rock musik that drowned out most of the noise. They lived on a large block, it took Aria a good half an jam to walk it, but that did not bother her. Sometimes on a really bad hari she walked it twice just to have time to herself and to keep the voices out of her mind as long as she could.
    As she walked it this time around her mind was on one thing, Healers. The annoying things that would not leave her allow and were non-stop chattering in her mind. She would kill them if she knew how but she didn’t plus they were not evil just cruel and demanding. They had been ‘visiting’ her for a little over a bulan now talking about how she was ‘one of them’ and ‘the one to end it all.’ They are talking about a massive demon army breaking out to end the world. One large army that no human forces could stop, and would kill at will.
Did Aria believe it? Hell yeah, the demon part anyway. Killing demons was what she did for a living. The other stuff like her being one of them was totally out there. If she was one of them then way was down on earth living like a human? There was no proof.
“There is proof, that tattoo, that is your proof,” The voice was in her head louder than her musik but it was almost like a whisper. Aria yanked her headphones out of her ear in frustration and threw them on the ground. “Damn it” she muttered as she started walking leaving her five dollar headphones in the middle of the street. Her IPod was tucked tight into her back pocket while her hands were stuffed into the two upfront. She soon forgot about the little headphone incident and turned onto a creak that she found with Jared and Toby as kids.
It was peaceful, the only sound was the water lightly hitting against the rocks and running along the rocky path to no end. She could stay there and grow old, live a life without all the stress and pain. No people, just her and nature. But that was just a fancy, on that would always stay just a dream.
But all that mattered was this moment, her heaven
But a POP interrupted her. Kal, one of the many Healers that came and ‘visited’ her was sitting selanjutnya to Aria.
“Hello Aria,” His regular greeting in his flat voice that never seemed to speak any emotion. He was wearing what he always wore, a nice wrinkle free pure white suit. The jacket, shirt, tie, pants and shoes were all white. There was no color, just the white tint. No matter where they were, there suits never seemed to get dirty. The suit seemed to shine even in low light, if Aria stared at it to long it would offend give her a headache.
“What do anda want?” Aria barked, now her good mood now ruined.
“I don’t understand why anda hate me; I have done nothing but try to help you,” Kal was not looking at her, his ice blue eyes were looking up at the trees watching as the breeze made the branched dance. It was true, Kal never did anything that really pissed her off, truth was, Kal was the only Healer Aria wanted to see when the Healers had to talk to them.
“I don’t hate you,” Aria muttered as she stared at her dirty old sneakers. “I just want to be left alone; I want anda … Healers to leave us alone,”
“We can’t, and I’m not going to leave anda alone with my fellow Healers, they are dangerous.” Aria finally looked at him, but her waktu berakhir was full of confusion. “The others think that anda should be there puppet, they never imagined anda would be as … rebellious as anda are. I, on the other hand, knew better, I am trying to keep them from harming anda atau steeling anda from your tempat tidur at night. anda know nothing of Healers, I can help anda understand our kind, but anda have to be willing. I don’t want to be the bad guy.”
Aria was flabbergasted at how Kal was talking to her, although he was the “nice Healer” he had never talked to her like that, offering help. She had to look away as his eyes pierced hers when he finally looked at her. Why was he doing this? She was confused as it is and now he was changing sides?
“How do I know anda are legit?” Aria was still looking at her dirty shoes so she missed his confused face at the word legit. But as a long silence fell upon them, she got that he was confused, “How do I know anda are not messing with me?” her tone was a little harder than the last time she spoke. As much as Kal was being nice, she wanted to go sleep again, no matter how early in the morning it was. atau was it finally the afternoon?
“Because I don’t mess around, Aria, I am and never will be your enemy,” And then he did the one thing Aria hated that Healers did. They locked eyes and Aria could not look away until Kal, but he just stared at her, changing her to call him a liar. But Aria knew better, and the serious expression in his face was proof he was not lying, Aria doubted any Healer could lie that well.
After what felt like hours, Kal looked up at the sky, “I must go; we will continue this conversation later,” A few detik after he berkata that the muttering in her head came back to her, she grunted as she bent over in pain. She had not noticed that the muttering had stopped when Kal appeared. But Kal was quick to act; he touched her head and immediately the voices stopped.
“What – was – that?” she breathed just noticing she was holding her breath,
“It shall stop them from entering your mind, but not for long. I can teach anda so much about your abilities, anda just have to let me,” Aria was about to snap at him about how she did not give a rat’s pantat, keledai about her abilities, but with a pop he was gone.
“Damn it,”
Aria stayed at the creak for another half an jam before her phone went off; even before she looked at the caller ID she knew it was Jared. Normally she would have been annoyed but diberikan the circumstance, demons running loose, Healers after them, they had a right to worry. She answered the phone then walked halaman awal as soon as she hung up.
“Wait, Kal is willing to help us?” Jared questioned as Aria finished telling them her story. Taking a sip of her beer, Aria nodded. “Well this has to be bull! It’s definitely a trick to get anda to trust them, I mean why now? Why out of the blue?”
“Jared I really don’t think that is the deal, I think – I think Kal is serious about this. I – I “Aria sighed not knowing where she was going with this, she was about to say she trusted him, but she was still thinking about it. “I am going to believe him at the moment.”
“I still think he is going to screw us over in the end.”
“I don’t” Toby chimed in; he was in his usual spot leaning against the corner. “Kal is nothing like the twins, they are just corrupted and stupid like assholes, and Kal never seemed like that. Aria even berkata she never had him demand her something in her dreams. Which, for the record, I find dream stalking very creepy.” Aria smiled a little at Toby’s humor.
    “I don’t care if he is ‘the nice one’ he is still a Healer, therefore, I don’t trust him.”
Aria rolled her eyes at Jared’s stubbornness, but maybe he was right, but it did not fit Kal’s personality. Comparing him with the twins was like comparing an ant with a gorilla, they are nowhere near alike.
    “Do anda think the twins know?” Toby said, Aria had not thought about that. Apparently the Twins were the boss of Kal, atau where a high rank. And Aria realized that, if Kal was serious about all this, he could get into some big trouble. And, although Aria would never admit it in front of Jared and Toby, she liked Kal, and she did trust him. They had not seen his face, he was not lying and she was one hundred percent sure of it.
