“Come out, Void!” I called into the inky darkness of the cinder city rooftop. “You can’t hide tonight!” “How did you know I’d be early?” A deep, cool voice was carried over to me, as if it belonged to the night wind itself. “I knew you’d be early because you like to anticipate my every move, and evaluate my tactics in order to find a weakness you can use against me,” I answered quickly, knowing the answer. Void’s cold laughter confirmed my answer. “Always the long explanations. No wonder you were one of the top in your class.” “That has nothing to do with this. I simply know you, Andy. You have strategy.” I heard a snarl, and whirled around into the darkness surrounding me, still seeing nobody. “Come out! I’m tired of waiting!” “Well,

He looked down at me, his forest green eyes meeting my pale blue gaze. “How can Andy bend metal like this?” I asked, “it’s like . . . it’s like he’s controlling the molecules within the clay itself.” “I don’t know, Luna,” Sam replied, his gaze returning to Andy inside, “he says it’s hard to explain.” I nodded, not breaking my eyes away from the metal scrap which was looking more and more like a rose. My focus was broken, and I jumped away from the garage door like it was on fire. The door began to whir, and lifted itself slowly off the ground. I laughed, before crouching and crawling under the rising door. Andy smiled at me. “Hey, Sam,” Andy looked down at me again, still crouched on the concrete ground like a human frog. “I see you brought Luna again.” “She wanted to see what you were making this week,” Sam shrugged, “what do you need to know about the project?” The two boys began discussing their project idea, which I found dull. I stood, and walked around the garage slowly, in a mixture of awe and curiosity. My sights were caught on a strange and dangerous looking tool. “Andy, Andy!” Sam sighed at my sudden …show more content…
The hospital turned crime-scene had been crawling with police and investigators looking for many clue of kidnappings, escape, or killing. My mind was full with the thoughts of Andy’s disappearance. I ventured down the silent hall, and closed my door behind me. Suddenly, I froze, staring at my bed. When I left the house, my bed was a mess. I had disregarded the mangled blankets, and they had been on the floor. Now, they were pulled taught, spotlessly clean, and a small package was on top. I smiled. “Aww,” I said to myself, falling onto my mattress, “what a nice thought.” I picked up the carefully wrapped box, and gently pulled the bow. The paper fell away, and the object inside caused me to choke on my breath. All that was inside was a single metal rose. A metal rose, attached to a note. I unfolded the paper with quivering hands. Dear Skye, I would like to inform you that I am not dead. Despite the lack of faith the doctors had in me, I survived on my own. As for your brother, he will have no hope. Did you think I was joking when I threatened Sam’s life? You may use your powers to stop me, but you will not prevail, for I am more powerful that you will ever know. I will let Sam live longer, just until he, and those around you are at your most vulnerable. I am watching you, Andromeda, and I will say in once more-- you cannot save your family. I will win.
Your old friend,
