13 Freezing

"Ugh, It's so hot I could practically melt right now" Alisa wined

The gang is have lunch at their table by the willow three.

"C'mon it isnt't that bad" June said

"Says the guy who's sweating like crazy" Alisa raised her eye brow at June

Just like Alisa said June was sweating like crazy, His whole tank top is drenched in sweat.

"Anyway, you guys attending the annual bonfire?" June asked, changing the topic

"Maybe not" Caleb answered rubbing his head.

"You okay, Cay?" Alisa asked, concerned.

"Yeah, just a little head ache" He answered smiled at her sister.

"Why not? It's gonna be fun" June said

Caleb just shrugged.

"Aw, c'mon guys. It's tradition, we need to be there" June insisted

Caleb just shrugged again then sighed. That's when June saw what looks like a tattoo on Caleb's neck, It's located at the left side of his neck. June can't make out what was the tattoo because for some reason it's covered.... by make up? The make up was melting and being washed away by Caleb's sweat but he hasn't noticed it happening. June was about to ask but someone spoke, loosing the chance to ask.

"Yeah, it's gonna be great" A new voice said.

They all turned to the source and saw that it was Andrew. Alisa's face brightens instantly when she saw Andrew.

"May I?" He asked, nodding his head at the empty sit.

"Sure" June said, "Never thought you'd sit with us again" he said while Andrew sits

"I'll just have to keep trying harder, you know" Andrew said but he was looking at Alisa

Andrew was smiling at her but Alisa's smile turned into a frown.

"What?" Caleb asked

"Nothing, it's just... it's getting kinda cold" Alisa said, confused

It is getting kinda cold, June looked up and saw the sun shining very bright, then he looked at the surrounding and saw students fanning themselves and wiping sweats off of their foreheads. June returned his look on the three, the temperature definitely dropped and keeps dropping.

Alisa shivered "Okay it's definitely getting cold" She said while rubbing her arms.

Caleb sneezed, "Yup, agreed" Caleb said, sniffing and rubbing his nose.

"But why are we the only ones feeling the drop in temperature?" June asked

"What are you guys talking about, I don't feel cold" Andrew said, dubious

The three of them turned to Andrew, then Alisa's frown deepened

"What?" Andrew asking confused by the look on everyone's faces

"Are you okay dude?" June asked

"Yeah, why?" Andrew said furrowing his brows

The three of them didn't answer making Andrew very nervous

"Guys what is happening? you're kinda freaking me out" Andrew said, laughing a humorless laugh

The looks on the three didn't change, not getting the reassurance Andrew was looking for

"Guys just tell me what the bloody hell is going on!" Andrew said, annoyance coating his voice.

"Dude are you sure you're feeling okay?" June asked again

"Yes! now please tell me why you guys are looking at me like that!" Andrew said, clearly freaking out

"You look... so like..... sheet white right now" Caleb said

"Wha-?" Andrew was cut of when Alisa reached for his hands but she immediately pulled back.

"You're cold, not the normal kind of cold. Cold as in freezing cold" Alisa said

"Your kidding right?" Andrew asked, but he was clearly terrified.

"Uh, I think she's serious. I can feel the freezing temperature all the way from here." Caleb answered and he was farthest from Andrew.

"You guys are crazy" Andrew stood up knocking the bottled water from his tray. He immediately reached for it but when he caught it the water suddenly froze. All of them stared shocked at what just happened.

Andrew instantly released the bottle, "How did that happened?"

Alisa and Caleb looked at each other as if knowing exactly what's happening. June looked around to see if someone saw what happened, because that was a little to realistic to be a magic trick. June knew something was up but for some reason the twins kept acting like normal teenagers and June didn't know how to open up the topic. He was so sure that what was happening with Andrew was something that happened to him, He knew it had to be the same but the thing is, something like this didn't exactly happened with him. He could summon fire and Andrew was freezing cold. He's still confuse as to what to think of the bizarre things happening right now but one thing's for sure ever since that party, things that he thought were impossible to happen are beginning to be possible

Then all of a sudden Andrew wobbled

"Whoa" June stood up catching him but when he caught him he felt what Alisa was talking about. He was so cold, Not the dead kind of cold but the freezing kind. He swiftly sat him down. Andrew leaned unto the table to steady himself.

"I'm okay" He said

"You are far from okay, you're temperature is so low that I don't even know how you're still alive right now!" Alisa protested

"We should bring him to the clinic" June said

"I object, we should bring him to the hospital" Caleb said, "Our school nurse can't cure a temperature like that."

He does have a point, but Andrew made an irritated sound.

"I said I'm fine!" Andrew argued but he began to wobble again.

"Clearly you're not, so whether you like it or not, we're bringing you to the hospital" June said. He stood up and reached for him to help him stand but he forgot about Andrew's temperature, when he put his hand on his shoulders, his hand immediately felt numb . Anyone who touches him will definitely get frostbite in no time.

He pulled back his hand and held it under the sun to "defrost" his hand.

"How are we even going to get him to the hospital when we can't even touch him without turning into a Popsicle stick" Caleb said

"We should try something else...." Alisa said, already standing up

"No!" Andrew shouted, stopping Alisa. "Just please don't call them"

For some reason Andrew doesn't want help from anybody,The three of them thought of ideas on how to bring rush him to the hospital without gaining attention. In the middle of all it, Andrew suddenly fainted. June caught him in time, this time he can touch him without freezing.

"How did you-" Alisa asked

"He's temperature's back but he's burning" June said, putting a hand Andrew's forehead.

"Let's get him to the hospital before, he gets worst" Caleb said, standing to help June

Caleb rounded the table to help June, supporting Andrew from each side while Alisa grab everyone's things, and then they all rushed to June's car.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

When they got to the hospital, the nurses rushed to them with a wheel chair and wheeled Andrew off. The rest of the nurses asked the three a lot of questions, they answered them to the best that they can, then they said that three of them can wait out in the waiting room.

The three of them were sitting at the waiting room silent.

"It's happening to him too, isn't it?" June asked

The twins looked at June, shocked and guilty.

"I know guys, I remember everything and you don't have to hide it from me. Plus a while ago I saw you having a mark just like mine" pointing at the now fully exposed mark on Caleb's neck.

Alisa's eyes widen, her mouth opening and closing as if finding the words to explain. Caleb just stayed quiet, not knowing what to say.

"I know that mark is not a tattoo." June said "I don't know how I knew but I just had this feeling, since I saw the mark, that it was the same like mine even though it's completely different."

"It's just that-" Alisa started but didn't knew how to continue.

"You never mentioned anything so we thought that you don't want to talk about it, or purposely avoiding the topic. Plus we know that you would freak out" Caleb continued.

June just sighs, to think that he was afraid of being mistaken when the two of them knew all along.

"Well I have been freaking out, because I didn't know who to talk to. I thought I was being crazy" June said, sounding a little bit bitter "The drastic changes in my body, the mark, sword appearing out of nowhere, the shadow thing that tried to kill me-"

Alisa's eyes widen once again, Caleb sat up straight "What shadow? When? Where?" Alisa asked, cutting June off.

Before June could answer someone walked over to them. The three of them lift there heads to see a middle aged man standing in front of them.

"You must be the kids who brought my son here?" The man said. His tone cold and hard. "I'm Kevin Snow, Andrew's father. I just heard from the nurses what you kids have done and for that you have my thanks but I can handle it from here." He said, leaving no room for argument.

Kevin's tone was intimidating just like his look. He wore a coat and tie, pant suit, and a very expensive looking shoes.

"But-" Alisa started but Kevin glared at her.

"As I said, I will handle it from here." He repeated, then walked off to talk to a doctor.

"Someone's not in a good mood" Caleb muttered.

The three of them started to leave, Alisa took one last look at Kevin and found him looking back at her before turning back to the doctor.
