Arya: See? I told you that getting out of the house would do you good.

Casper: Yeah, I guess it helped a little.

Arya: Kat, how're you feeling?

Kathryn: Uh, I feel fine. Just a bit nervous about later...

Casper: Same.

Arya: It's gonna be okay Kylo and Valeria are going to be working together, so I'm sure they'll see something.

Kathryn: God, I hope so.

Casper: Something's better than nothing, right?

Arya: Yeah.

Kathryn: It better be good news.

Arya: It's gonna be something. My gut's telling me we're gonna find something. Come on, let's go. We don't wanna keep them waiting.

-

Sofia: -I mean, that's fair and all, but how are we going to prove that it was her?

Chloe: I'm still figuring that out. But it's weird how she crash lands onto Earth, rocks up at his place, only for him to go missing a few months later.

Sofia: Yeah, that is weird.

Chloe: Oh? Speaking of the Devil.

Casper: Oh, fuck.

Chloe: So where is he, then?

Casper: I don't know.

Chloe: Don't lie to us, I bet your "people" have him locked up somewhere.

Casper: You've got to be fucking joking.

Sofia: Wait, Chlo- Didn't they get into a fight recently? [Hushed] She probably set him up to be taken.

Casper: Wow.

Chloe: [Gasp] Oh, yeah! Wasn't your alien friend involved with that?

Casper: He's missing too!

Chloe: Is her, though? Or is he just hiding to avoid suspicion?

Kathryn: You're both fucking delusional.

Chloe: Do not get involved.

Kathryn: So you expect me to stand there while you accuse Casper of something so fucking heinous, and not say something? Yeah, you can get to fuck, honestly.

Casper: Why are you so obsessed with him?!

Chloe: Obsessed with him? [Scoff] Can I not just simply be concerned about someone's wellbeing, regardless of our history?

Casper: Cut the fucking bullshit. We all know he wants nothing to do with you. Why bother?

Chloe: Well, he wants nothing to do with you either since he's clearly been avoiding you lately.

Casper: He needed space, which I gave. Unlike you who's been following his every move.

Chloe: I have not!

Casper: Hey! While we're on the topic of you being a fucking stalker, who's to say you're not involved in his disappearance?

Arya: Cas...

Chloe: To even accuse me of doing such thing is disgusting. Especially since the accusation is coming from an actual creature who was no business being here.

Sofia: Her kind are probably planning on taking over.

Arya: Watch your fucking mouths, both of you.

Kathryn: D'you know what? Do us all a favour, and take your stupid fucking conspiracy theories, and shove it up your arse. Erwin Pries wouldn't even want to hear the bullshit that's coming out of your mouths.

Sofia, quietly to Chloe: Who's Erwin Pries?

Kathryn: Just fuck off! Both of you.

Casper: I fucking hate her! I did nothing to her, and she's done nothing, but give me hell for existing. What did I do wrong?

Arya: Listen to me. She's only targeting you because she's still hung up on Johnny, and she sees you as a threat. She tried it with Salem, too.

Arya: That girl is a nobody. Don't let her get to you, hunny.

Kathryn: I swear to God, if I ever see her again, I'm setting the bitch on fire.

Johnny: [Groans] Fuck... How long have I been out?

Shi: A while.

Johnny: Oh... [Hisses in pain] Shit!

Salem, quietly: Do you think they're looking for us?

Shi: Why are you asking?

Salem: I don't know...

Johnny: Uhm, I don't see why not. They're probably looking as we speak.

Shi: [Sigh] We can only hope...

Johnny: You're not doubting them, are you?

Shi: What makes you think that?

Johnny: I mean... you don't sound very convinced.

Shi: It's been weeks, Johnny. They don't have a fucking clue where we are.

Johnny: Neither do we, let's be honest.

Shi scoffs.

Johnny: Look. Some things take time. They'll find us.

Shi: Yeah, that's if we're still alive by then. Have you not seen how quickly those people in the other cell died? Let's be realistic here.

Johnny: Look, I'm just trying to keep whatever sanity I have left. I'm sorry for being hopeful.

Johnny: Hey, Salem. You still awake?

Salem: Mhm.

Johnny: How're you feeling?

Salem, quietly: It hurts. I feel like I'm gonna throw up.

Shi: Please don't. You've done that enough times today.

Salem: [Shakily sighs] I just wanna go home.

Johnny: Yeah... Me too.

[Shuffling]

Johnny: What?

Shi: I can hear something from the other side.

Johnny: Huh? What is it-

Shi: Shh.

Johnny, hushed: Don't tell me to-

Shi, harshly: Shh!

Johnny: I-

Shi, hushed: Someone's talking.

Man 1: So these are the new additions?

Man 2: That's correct. We've just completed phase one.

Man 1: Perfect. Just what I like to hear.

Man 1: [Lowers voice] No matter what happens, keep the blue one alive. That ones's got great potential.

Man 2: I'll do whatever it takes.

Man 1: Good. Make sure to pass that on to the team. You know what they're like with their little pets.

Man 2: Right.

Man 1: [Chuckles] Ah, it looks like blondie got you, then.

Man 2: He put up a fight.

Man 1: Another fiesty one. Oh, I love those!

Man 2: Don't we all.

Johnny, whispering: What are they saying?

Shi, quietly: They're talking about us. Looks like we've become the new favourite.

Salem: Probably because we're fresh meat.

Johnny: Wouldn't be surprised.

Shi hums.

Johnny: Shi? What are they saying?

Salem: Shi?

Shi: It's more than that...

Salem: Wait, what?

Johnny: What do you mean by that?

Shi: Potential... For what?

Johnny: What do you mean by potential?

Salem: Are they using us for something?

Shi: Something like that...

Kylo: Hey, Mizuki-

Mizuki: He's not here.

Kylo: If you're looking for Shi, he's not here.

Braeden: Well, fuck! There's our answer.

Kylo: So you've not heard from him either?

Mizuki: No... Haven't heard from him all week. Not since we went out that night.

Braeden: When was that?

Mizuki: Just over a week ago.

Mizuki: Like one minute we were together, and the next... He was gone. Just vanished.

Braeden: D'ya reckon he left any traces like Johnny did?

Mizuki: M'not sure. He did say that he felt like he was being watched, like someone was after him.

Braeden: Didn't Johnny feel that way at some point?

Kylo: Yeah...

Mizuki: What's going on?

---

Mizuki: Fuck... That's-

Kylo: A lot to take in. I know. We don't know for sure if all the disappearances are linked, but based on the pattern we've spotted, it's very likely.

Mizuki: So you think that whoever is responsible for all these disappearances are the same people who took Shi and Johnny?

Kylo: Mhm.

Braeden: Did Shi say anything else to you before he vanished?

Mizuki: Not that night, but a few months ago when we were both drunk, he briefly mentioned his father, and at the time I thought he was ful of shit, but now...

Kylo: What did he say?

Mizuki: Ah fuck- It was a while ago!

Mizuki: Well, for starters, he blurted out that he was an alien. Obviously, I thought he was joking! But then he went on to say how he apparently has some ability that his dad wants to use for "mind control" or something.

Braeden: Johnny said the same thing.

Mizuki: That he's an alien?

Braeden: No! Shi said the same thing to him!

Mizuki: Wait- He's not actually an alien is he?

Kylo: Uhm...

Mizuki: Are you guys aliens?!

Kylo: Uh, no. We're... something else.

Mizuki: I-

Braeden: Honestly! This is the least of your concerns right now. What matters is, is that people are going missing and this Toue person MIGHT be the person behind it.

Mizuki: How will we find out?

Kylo: I don't know...

Kylo: We've not thought that far ahead yet.

[Tonight (I'm Lovin' You) by Enrique Iglesias playing]

I know you want me

I made it obvious that I want you too

Shi: Oi. I'm gonna go out for a smoke. You coming?

Mizuki: Yeah, sure!

[Inhale]

Mizuki: Are you okay? You've gone really quiet...

Shi: Yeah, I'm fine. Just feel a bit sick.

Mizuki: You're not a lightweight are you?

Shi: [Snort] No. Why would I be? I could probably drink you under the table, if anything!

Mizuki: I mean, if you say so...

Shi: I do say so.

Shi: [Sigh] I don't know what's wrong with me. I just feel so anxious and paranoid all the time.

Mizuki: Do you know why?

Shi: I think it's just a mixture of things.

Mizuki: Do you want to talk about it? Whatever it is, it's clearly bothering you, and it's not good to bottle it all up.

Shi: [Sigh] If I told you what has been going on, and what I think is going on, you would think I'm crazy.

Mizuki: It can't be that bad, surely?

Shi: It is, Mizuki. It's really bad. And I'm pretty sure I'm being watched.

Mizuki: By who?

Shi: I don't know... That's the scary part.

Mizuki: How long has this been going on?

Shi: I don't know? Weeks? Months?

Mizuki: Fucking hell, Shi! Why didn't you tell me sooner?

Shi: I didn't want to drag you in it.

Mizuki: [Mutters] Fuck me... So now what?

Shi: I dunno. Anyways, I'm gonna go for a piss.

Arya: So no one saw anyone enter Johnny's place?

Malaya: Well, no. Not that I'm aware of. I was coming back from my girlfriend's when I bumped into Casper, and our neighbours aren't in.

Kathryn: Shit.

Malaya: I know I'm not an expert on Supernatural stuff, but is there any way you can track his scent?

Kylo: Caleb and Chris are doing it. I know Chris said he was going to ask around the Moonwood Mill Town for some help.

Arya: Ah, shit. Knowing him he's going to be stupid enough to seek out Greg.

Malaya: Who's Greg?

Kylo: The lone wolf, former Mooncaster. He's not someone you wanna mess with.

Kathryn: I take it he's dangerous, then?

Arya: Yeah. He'll fight anyone.

Malaya: What do we do until then?

Arya: I don't know...

Kylo: We should probably warn the others. I'd say we should all try to avoid being alone for the time being.

Kylo: Yo, Braeden. You good?

Braeden: Yeah... Just thinking.

Kylo: About what?

Braeden: He was with Shi, Salem, Rue and myself earlier. Has anyone heard from those guys?

Casper: Rue messaged me earlier. She's with her sister.

Kathryn: Salem's at home and we're meeting up tomorrow.

Kylo: What about Shi?

Arya: Not heard from him.

Casper: Neither have I.

Kylo: I can head over to his and check on him if needed.

Braeden: I'll come with you.

Kylo: May, are you gonna be good here?

Mayala: I think so. My neighbouts should be back within the next hour or so.

Kylo: What about you, Cas?

Casper: I don't think I can handle being alone right now.

Arya: If you want to, you can stay at mine. I've got a spare room.

Kylo: Hey, Malaya?

Malaya: Yeah?

Kylo: If at any point you start to feel unsafe, just let us know, okay?

Malaya: [Sigh] Okay.

Chris: [Sigh] Look, I just wanna know if you've seen him.

Man: I'm not interested in helping you. Go.

Chris: He's blonde, green eyes, around five-eleven-

Man: I said go.

Chris: Are you gonna answer my question or not?

Man 1: How is he?

Man 2: Resting.

Man 1: [Sigh] Do we tell him?

Man 2: Tell him what, exactly? That he's a product of Toue's research and that he has a special ability? [Hushed] We should consider ourselves lucky that he hasn't used it on us, yet!

Man 1: [Groans] So what do we do, then? He can't stay here.

Man 2: I know...

Man 2: Those two men that he was with earlier... I don't trust them.

Man 1: The ones that look like they could be related?

Man 2: Yeah. There's something off about them.

Man 1: Tell me about it. You don't think Toue will find out about this, do you?

Man 2: He'll find out. It's only a matter of time before he does.

[Distant chatter]

Man 1: Have you heard about his brother?

Man 2: Did something happen?

Shi: [Whisper] Brother...?

Man 1: [Lowers voice] I don't know the full details, but it's something to do with mind control and shit.

Man 2: Mind control?!

Man 1: Shh! The people don't know.

Man 1: So there's been speculation that Toue has been using Sei's ability to brainwash people. I guess it's to make them think that he is some sort of God, when really he just wants power over people.

Man 2: Right?

Man 1: There's been talks of him paying Earth a visit.

Man 2: Oh no...

Man 1: Mhm.

Man 2: How do you know this?

Man 1: People talk.

Man 2: So this could all just be rumours?

Man 1: Or it could be true. I wouldn't put it past that man. Would you?

Man 2: [Sigh] What does Shi have to do with this?

Man 1: He's the other son. If Toue gets his hands on that boy, it's game over. You've seen what he did to that man earlier-

Man 2: Ah, fuck.

Man 2: Do we tell his Grandma about this?

Man 1: I don't know, man. We just work here. That boy will most likely be discharged first thing tomorrow, and who knows what could happen to him.

Man 2: Well, we need to do something? What if something like this happens again?

Man 1: [Deep sigh]

[Audio Playing - Kylo Speaking]

Kylo: It's dark out, and it's snowing... like, heavy snow. I can see what looks like an abandoned building in the distance, but I can't tell if it's a mansion or an asylum? There's also porta potties outside to my right, but two of them are chained up.

Kylo: I'm surrounded by trees, but there's a cliff edge that overlooks the sea in the distance to the left of the building. There's also something else here. Okay- I'm feeling terror, like there is something here with me- Oh my God. What is that?!

Kathryn: Wait, what did you see?

[Audio pauses]

Kylo: A creature with horns. There were at least three of them, and I saw Johnny running away from one.

Casper: Shit! It didn't get him, did it?

Kylo: Not as far as I'm aware...

Valeria: But there's more.

Arya: What do you mean?

Valeria: I saw two men stood at one of the windows. One of the men has what looks like a burn scar on the right of his face. I couldn't see the other man's face, though.

Kylo: The guy with the scar on his face is the one who took Johnny.

Arya: What about the other two?

Valeria: Salem was taken by a woman, whereas Shi was drugged and taken by these two men who look identical, but aren't related. They're both blonde.

Kylo: Kat, do you remember when we were at Johnny's looking at those photos?

Kathryn: Yeah?

Kylo: Some of those victims are there too.

Kathryn: You're joking?

Kylo: I'm being serious.

Liliana: You're tense. Are you sure you're okay?

Casper: Yeah, I'm fine. It's just been a long day.

Llliana: Do you want to talk about it, or do you want to take your mind off it?

Casper: Can you help me take my mind off it? Just for the night.

Liliana: Sure.

[Phone Call]

Johnny: So I had a run-in with Shi earlier.

Kylo: Oh shit! How did that go?

Johnny: Not too bad... He basically told me to talk to Casper.

Kylo: I agree with him.

Johnny: I know. It's just- I don't know what to say! I go to type up a message, but I can't bring myself to send it.

Kylo: Call her?

Johnny: [Laughs]

Kylo: I'm serious, Johnny.

Johnny: [Sigh] I know...

Kylo: Are you still pissed off with her?

Johnny: I... I don't know. It's all very confusing and I don't know how I feel about them and the whole situation!

Kylo: [Hum] I get that... You've still got a few days left in Del Sol Valley, right?

Johnny: Yeah, why?

Kylo: If you can, I'd say use the next few days to clear your head, or at least process everything.

Johnny: Yeah, I think I might do that.

Kylo: Well, either way we're here if you need to talk at any point.

Johnny: I know... Thank you.

Kylo: It's okay. Get some sleep, yeah?

[salemsimss]

Good things happen, bad things happen, and that’s the way life goes. Lately, it’s all been good, or at least for now...

I’ve been thinking a lot about what Valeria had said to me during my last visit, and have decided to take up on her advice. I’d be lying if I said I don’t still feel that sense of impending doom, where something really bad is going to happen at any time.

And it seems that I’m not the only one who feels this way. Salem’s been having a bunch of nightmares recently, and they’re worried that the dreams they’re having is a warning about what’s to come. I don’t know what there dreams are about, and frankly, I don’t think I want to know. Based on what I heard, they’re terrifing. Maybe they should speak to Kylo and Valeria about this, those two might know what to do.

Speaking of, Kylo has been acting a bit weird lately. Not in a mean way or anything, but the thing is, Kylo is usually quite introverted. But as of lately, he’s been inviting us to do all sorts of things, including activities that usually drain him. I thought he would’ve needed some time to recharge after that night out, but it’s been non-stop. Even Caleb has picked up on it. I feel like there has to be a reason for all of this. Does he know something that the rest of us don’t? He’s always had a sixth sense.

But then what is it, and why is he spending more time with us as a result? Is there a reason that he’s not telling us? Who knows? But as Valeria said, how we handle the high and low points in life is more important than worrying about what’s to come. So I just need to take things as they come, and deal with whatever happens as they occur, right?

I just need to live in the moment and allow myself to feel good.

Take it day-by-day.

Surrounded by the people I love.

Shi: Anyway, are you planning on talking to Cas any time soon?

Johnny: Yeah, I plan on talking to her tonight.

Shi: Fucking finally. Are you two finally going to kiss and make up?

Johnny: Why would we- Anyways. That's not all I wanted to talk about.

Shi: So, what do you wanna know?

-

Salem: So what were you just talking to Shi about?

Johnny: He told me a bit more about that guy who wants to use his ability for some fucked up thing he's got going on. He's not one hundred percent sure yet, but he thinks that this Toue person might be responsible for all of this.

Salem: The disappearances?

Johnny: Yeah... That.

Johnny: He has a brother, you know...

Salem: Huh?

Johnny: Shi has a twin brother that he's never even met.

Salem: Never met?

Johnny: They were both made as a result of one of Toue's projects, but they were separated within minutes of being born.

Salem: Why?

Johnny: Shi was presumed dead, and before they could dispose of him, his Grandma took him, only for him to have been alive the entire time.

Salem: [Sigh] Fucking hell. What about his brother?

Johnny: Still with Toue, apparently. Probably being experimented on.

Salem: Poor guy.

Salem: Do you ever feel that you could be next?

Johnny: What?

Salem: I've just been feeling really weird lately, and today I woke up with this... really strong feeling of dread and I feel like everywhere I go, I'm being followed.

Johnny: Salem, how long has this been going on for?

Salem: For a few months... Since before we went camping together.

[Skateboard scraping along metal]

Salem: How much longer do you think we will have?

Salem: Before whatever happens to us... Happens?

Johnny: Salem... What the fuck is going on?

Salem: I don't know... I guess we'll soon find out. Either way, we don't have much time.

Braeden shouting from the distance: Oi! You two, come down here! Shi's gonna do a trick for us!

-

Braeden: Fuck this up and you owe me a tenner.

Shi: And if I don't?

Braeden: Uh...

Rue: You owe him twenty quid.

Shi: Is that it?

Braeden: Fuck off!
