When Becca was finally in her car, sitting in her seat with the doors locked, she took a deep breath. She looked out all of the windows. A slight breeze had the trees swaying gently. There was no one and nothing in sight. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. It was a hysterical sort of laughter, and she leaned her head back on her headrest as she calmed herself.
Maybe the rumors of this little town are starting to get to you, Bec, she told herself. Just then a large brightly colored thing plastered itself on her driver side window, and she screamed and squeezed her sapphire eyes shut. When she gained the courage to open her left eye just the tiniest sliver to look at the window, she realized it was a piece of paper. A flyer. The wind must have picked up again, plastering the thing to her window.
Becca would have laughed at herself again, but she was embarrassed, even being alone out here, that she'd gotten herself so worked up over a little bit of wind. She turned the car on and powered the window down enough to fit her hand out and pull the piece of paper into her car. It was a flyer for a party at the old Nytewing's place. The place was old. It was large and had a very I'm-haunted-and-my-walls-bleed kind of feel. A big party none the less and perfect for the month of October. This was so Onyx's kind of thing.
She pulled her cell phone from her purse and dialed Onyx. When she answered, Becca would tell her about the party and ask if she wanted to go, and of course she would. Becca would promise to swing by before the party so they could get ready and arrive together, taking one car to the house just at the edge of town and mostly secluded.
When she disconnected with Onyx she drove out of the camp and headed back into town, the short half a mile that it was, passing by the cemetery. She could see figures there, as always. Apparently it was a neat place to hang, especially at night, though Becca couldn't see why. The place was creepy. But, the whole town was a little creepy, so she supposed she understood how some of its residents might like it.
Her small red two-door car glided down main street, pulling into an empty parking place outside of the diner. Her tummy grumbled, lunch had passed without her and she needed to eat. Especially if they were going to a party later. She couldn't drink like Onyx could, and would need all the help she could get to keep from getting drunk easily, like a full stomach.
She got out of her car and entered the diner, sitting in a booth by the window. She ordered hot chocolate and brunch. Becca could eat breakfast for every meal of the day. She was a huge pancake, bacon and hashbrown casserole kind of girl. Top it off with a side of eggs and an orange juice and you had Becca's favorite meal. Though chinese food was a very close second. She sent Onyx a short text, letting her know she was at the diner if she was hungry. She could meet Becca there, or Becca could bring her something if she wanted.
She stared out the window, sipping at her hot chocolate as she waited for her food, having no idea what kind of entities her aura might be luring towards their secluded little town and endangering its inhabitants.
