"Watch you backs, people!" a kid shouted from a street corner. "Monsters could get you!"
People didn't seem to respond to the unofficial town crier. The boy's mother grabbed his arm and tugged him away, scolding him for shouting nonsense in public.
"But it isn't nonsense, Mama. Look!" The boy pointed at the nearest newspaper stand. Sure enough, all of the headlines were screaming something like "THE HEARTLESS STRIKE!" or "CREATURES TERRORIZE TOWNSPEOPLE!" or maybe even "MONSTERS ARE REAL!"
"What is this stupidity? Don't read the newspapers, Hunny. Those are never accurate," the boy's mom assured him. The boy glanced over at the stand as his mother tugged him away. A tall boy leaned against it. He smiled at the kid and winked.
The little boy gasped and hurried to walk beside his mother instead of behind her. "Mama, what does it mean when someone winks at you?"
"It means they like you," his mother paused, "Or it means you got a secret only the two of you know about." The little boy looked over his shoulder at where the teenager was standing before. He was gone.
"Mama? Is Allison coming home today?" the kid asked.
"No, Derek. Allison is not coming home at all. She's not allowed to come home. She has to stay away," Derek's mother answered nervously.
"Why?"
"Because that's the way things are supposed to be! Now stop asking questions, Derek!" she snapped. Derek shut his mouth quickly as they approached the family minivan.
The dark green van clicked from the inside as Mrs. Masque pressed a button to unlock it. The ride home was short, but it seemed like it took forever. It was so quiet. Derek's mother didn't even turn on the radio.
Finally the vehicle pulled into the driveway of the Masque residence. Derek shot out of the car as quick as he could. There was a red sports car parked on the street, and Derek knew what that meant.
"UNCLE TONY! UNCLE TONY! UNCLE TONY!" he cried as he raced through the back door. A man with brown, but graying, hair sitting on the beige sofa, turned to see his nephew running into the room.
"Hey there, Tiger! How are you, Buddy?" Uncle Tony asked, giving the ten year old an enthusiastic hug.
"Tony. What a nice surprise. What brings you here?" Derek's mother asked as she waltzed though the back door with the groceries.
"Well, Helen, Allison needed to come and get some stuff--" Uncle Tony began. Derek cut him off with his over dramatic gasp.
"Allison is here!?" he exclaimed. Then he ran off toward Allison's room shouting, "ALLISON! ALLISON! ALLISON! ALLISON! ALLISON!" all the way there.
Helen gave Uncle Tony a look. "Allison is here? Why? I told her to leave. She's not allowed to be here."
"Oh, quit your griping, Helen. She just needed to pick up some keepsakes. She'll be back at home with me before supper." Uncle Tony glared at his sister. "She is your daughter. You could at least be a little caring."
"That's not my daughter. That's a monster." Helen went to retrieve a newspaper from her shopping bags. CREATURES TERRORIZE TOWNSPEOPLE! was displayed loudly across the front. "Read up, Tony. Before you decide if you want her living with you."

Allison jumped as her little brother ran through the door of her former bedroom. "ALLISON! YOU'RE BACK!" Derek shouted excitedly. he ran up to her and hugged his sister.
"Derek, I'm only back to get my stuff. You know Helen won't let me stay," Allison replied nonchalantly, going back to transferring closes from her drawers to her suitcases.
"Why do you call Mama Helen?"
"Because she doesn't want me being her kid anymore, I don't want her being my mom either. So I am not going to call her that. That's why," Allison said. But then she realized what she'd just told him. "But you'd better not call her that. She'll be so mad at you..." She trailed off to let her brother imagine what would happen to him. Just so he'd get the picture.
"Well, I'm gonna miss you," Derek muttered, clutching to his sister again. Allison sighed and hugged him back. She didn't want him to cry. She panicked when people cried.
"I'm gonna miss you too, little buddy," Allison whispered. She stood straight and continued packing. Derek wanted to help, so he began putting books in a small box and movies in another. Once Allison was all packed, she and Derek slowly moved all her things out to Uncle Tony's car, not even stopping to acknowledge Helen. Why should she. That's not her mother anymore.

((Thank you Pryngles! Welcome! I like your characters))

Aiyden evaded people easily. One of the good things about being a Heartless was that you blended right in. He looked around for anyone else he knew. Maybe the girl he'd seen a couple weeks ago would reappear. She was brilliant, fighting with the women he'd just seen tugging the little boy down the street.
He'd been in some random neighborhood, about to jack up some poor person's mail boy when she came storming out of the house. He knew she was a Heartless. They were the only people the weren't able to be possessed. He watched as her mother came storming out, throwing a newspaper at her. They argued for about five minutes and the girl slapped her mother and ran off.
The woman had stood there, speechless for a second, then she walked back inside like nothing had happened. The newspaper the lady had thrown at the girl still flew about, so he'd caught it and read it.
Like now, the paper said things like "MONSTERS WALK AMONG US!" and "THE HEARTLESS ON THE RISE!" These headlines made Aiyden laugh. But he didn't want to pay attention to that right now. He wanted to find his group and go paint some bricks downtown.

Allison sat glumly in the passenger seat of her uncles car. She switched the radio station back and forth between a classic rock station and a mix station. She'd moved in with her caring uncle ever since two weeks ago when her mother had kicked her out. Her mom was scared of her.
Allison discovered that she was a Heartless when she accidentally read the mind of her former-mother's co-worker. Then she later possessed father's boss. That too wasn't intentional, but she took the advantage and gave her father a raise. His boss didn't remember anything accept wanting to give Mr. Masque a raise. And still, Allison's parents weren't pleased.
When the newspapers came out and called people like her Heartlesses, her mother decided she shouldn't stay. That led to their big argument and Allison slapped her mom. Her uncle took her in and she'd just come back to get some stuff.
What is taking so long? Allison didn't like waiting here. Her brother was likely to come bounding out of the house at any moment for one last hug. Finally, Uncle Tony came out of the house, arguing with Helen. Allison laughed. I guess that's the only was anyone ever leaves this house: arguing.
