Delsin Grey
[The Great White North - British Colombia, Canada]The sound of plastic rapidly tapping against plastic echoed out through narrow navy blue halls. The large, quaint household was eerily quiet save for the noise of hasty typing. It's source coming through an open door resting at the end of one of the halls, where inside a short form was slouched over a wood desk. Large earphones kept the black haired boy in his own world while his lime green eyes remained glued to the text scrolling across his screen. His fingers dancing across the keyboard beneath them as if it was choreographed.
It seemed nothing could distract the young man from his ever important chemistry paper. Not even the odd appearance of lights in the closing day sky. What looked to be something similar to the Northern Lights lit up the skyline in a fabulous display of various colors that only lasted for mere moments. As the light faded however, a small spark streaked out of the clouds.
CRASHThe teenage stopped his vigorous typing, yawning as he raised his arms above his head.
Almost done...Than I can look into that link Carrick sent me earlier. The loyal student sunk back into his desk chair, turning it slightly to face the window as he let out a shaky breath and rubbed his arms.
It wasn't nearly this cold five minutes ago...I could have sworn dad turned the heat on before he left.. The grey sweater wearing boy's eyes then went wide as he spied the baseball sized hole in his bedroom window. The cool air freely flowing into the room as he calmly took off his headphones and wore a look of confusion and annoyance.
"What the hell?""Delsin! Did'ja see those crazy lights in the sky just now!? I swear I seen something fall outta the-"The younger boy skidded to a halt in the doorway of the room, curious lime green eye's shrinking to pricks as he looked at the large crack in the glass pane.
"Whoa, what happened? Did someone throw a rock through your window?"A sigh escaped the older brother as he got up from his chair and walked over to the window to examine the hole with a stern frown. Being mindful of the glass near his feet.
"Something like that. It sure wasn't hail." Delsin carefully brought his hand up to the hole, feeling around it's sharp edges as he peered out through the glass and into the snowy streets below. Shaking his head he pulled back from the sill and crossed his arms.
"Nothing....Whoever did it must have ran off already."The younger sibling dressed in basic yellow long sleeve strolled into the room, observing the shattered glass on the floor and breaking out in a sweat.
"Dad's gonna be ticked...We just replaced that window last year." Delsin nodded slowly as his eyes began to follow the path that the foreign object could have taken.
"He'll be less ticked if we clean it up before he gets home. Trevor, can you go get the broom for me please? I'm gonna try to find whatever made that hole."Trevor nodded up and down frantically as he spun around to speed walk back into the hall. Leaving Delsin to stroll away from the window. His lime gaze keeping track of the angle that the glass breaking item could have taken as the invisible trail guided him to his dresser. The book smart teen crouched to stick his arm under the wood container and begin feeling around with his hand....Until his fingers brushed against something small and rounded.
Could this be it? His arm came back to him as he blew the dust off of his grey sweater, his other hand going to the small object in his hand and feeling around it. His focused stare began to get misty as he scanned the small handheld device.
It looks like...A walkie-talkie? Why would someone throw a walkie-talkie of all things through my window? His grip on the old toy weakened as he drew it away from his body.
"The grips changed color....It's grey. I wonder how it...."And then the room went silent. Only the howling wind coming from the hole of the window echoed through the second story of the home as Trevor returned with broom and dust pan. His head craning around the empty bedroom as he began to panic a bit.
"Delsin...? Delsin! Come on this isn't funny! Where'd you go!? You can't just bail on me like that! Come on! Where are you!?" ~~~
[?]A blinding flash of light, and then, nothing. Darkness fogged the vision of the northern teenager, showing him nothing of the world around him. Unconsciously, he reached a hand out into the void in a desperate attempt to gain some sort of barring on his situation. His reach gained him a
very surprising sensation that his hand reeled back from before grasping it gently.
Grass?Delsin's eye lids slowly creaked open to allow his blurred vision to focus on the upside-down hand before him. He was laid out flat on his back, hand idly touching and poking at the soft green turf.
But...I was in my room. How did I get outside? And there was snow for miles I....Am I even anywhere near town?Quickly sitting up, the black haired student threw his hands to his head and was met with what felt like a rock slamming into the side of his brow.
"Geh...Damn it." He blinked away the uncomfortable pain above his eye to pull his hand back and observe the source of it.
So I still have the walkie-talkie...It's better than nothing. The book worm rubbed at the tiny welt that was forming on his head as his gaze panned around the immediate area. To his surprise, and irritation, that cloudiness that impeded his vision and made the world around him appear hazy persisted even after he blinked.
A forest...Defiantly not anywhere near home.The utterly lost and confused boy slowly rose to his feet, black boots flattening the dirt beneath him as he starred off into the trees.
Not getting anywhere just sitting around....I need to find something to help me figure out where I ended up.With the dread and chilling feeling of being lost and alone in an unknown place not far behind him, the boy clutched at the strange grey device in his hand and began to walk forward. Taking occasional glances at the thing as he poked at it's buttons.
