Chapter Text
It was a bitter, cold day when Drew found a note in his locker.
It said something like:
“ Meet me in Rose Meadow Park, at the fountain near the abandoned playground
On October 28th, at 11pm.
—E”
And honestly? He just ignored it at first, playing no fucking mind to it his brain all too focused on what had happened the week before, his fight with him.
Then he received another note a few days after the first.
It read:
“Drew, I know you received my last note, and I know you ignored it.
Trust me Drew, this is important.
Meet me on October 28th at 11pm at the fountain near the abandoned
playground in Rose Meadow Park.
—E”
Taken aback by the second note, he threw it into his locker, but this time, he thought on it a bit.
Maybe it was Zoey, trying to get back with him again. Then again though, it didn’t really look like her handwriting, it was way too neat…
Why the fuck did that matter though!? It wasn’t like couldn’t she blackmail someone into writing the notes, just like she had done to his sister and attempted to do to Jake.
In all honesty though? He decided to mention it to Henry and Liam the next day, in hopes that they might know anything about it.
The next day came, and that meant there were 3 days until the “meeting” that Drew was “invited” to. (More like forced into coming 😒)
When Drew walked up to the school Liam and Henry were already there, chatting about something stupid, like Lettuce-Chan or something.
When they noticed Drew standing there, Liam said, “Oh hey Dude. How are ya?”
Drew responded with a sigh, saying “I’m fine, but uh, could we go to my locker? I need to talk to you guys about something.”
Henry and Liam looked at each other for a second, considering what it might be that Drew wanted to talk about.
“Uh, sure?“ Liam replied, and he and Henry followed Drew to his locker.
Hastily, Drew unlocked the locker, and grabbed out the crinked note he’d received the day before.
“Here.” He said, pressing the paper into Henry’s hand.
“What do you two make of it?”
Liam looked at the paper again. He had seen a note like this. Almost exactly the same. But he wasn’t sure if he should tell Drew. He knew Henry was thinking the same thing, he could tell. Besides, Henry had gotten one too.
He sighed, as he exchanged glances with Henry.
“Drew?”
“Yeah?” The magenta haired boy responded, looking bored as he waited for him answer.
“Well, I’ve seen something like it before. Henry and I both have. We got one with almost the exact same thing.”
“Well?” Drew said, tapping his foot on the ground impatiently.
Henry responded, “Well what?”
Drew rolled his eyes.
“Well, what should we do, idiot?”
“I think we should go.” Said Liam.
“Dude, you sure? What if it’s just Zoey or something? What if she’s trying to blackmail us?” The green haired boy asked, obviously disagreeing.
“Whatever Henry. I’m with Liam on this. I’m gonna go, you can stay home and play Animal Crossing or something.”
“Hell no! I’m not missing out on this shit. I’ll see you guys there in 3 days!”
And so the day came.
Drew arrived first, arriving around 10:37.
Liam and Henry, surprisingly, arrived next, 5 minutes after.
So Drew just waited, scrolling through TikTok on his phone.
“Hey Drew?” Henry asked, bringing Drew back to reality.
He glanced at the time on his phone. It was 10:54pm.
“Uh. I don’t know dork. You making up shit again?”
“No!!” The shorter boy argued. “Someone’s walking towards us.”
He pointed towards the sidewalk, and sure enough, there was a group walking towards the fountain as well.
“-And then I told her, ‘ Fuck you bitch, I can worship demons if I wanna. And hell, anyway, this is literally an art project of a character from a show, you uncultured shit.’ You should’ve been there Sean, her reaction was literally priceless.”
“Milly!?” Drew found himself yelling out, feeling a mix of anger and confusion. “The fuck are you doing here?”
“You talking about me and my friends being here? The fuck are you doing here with your cringy friends?!” She retorted, gesturing towards her group of freaks.
The tall one, Sean , Drew thought his name was, looked annoyed, Hailey, along with Xander, seemed pissed (which Drew smiled at.) and the brunette looked confused.
And then there was him .
Jake was there.
Drew froze, caught off guard. He’d been avoiding Jake since their fight 2 weeks back.
He felt sick, finding himself feel almost woozy.
“You should leave.” Xander snarled, in the background, followed by Liam yelling, “Uhm, no you bitch. We were invited to this thing, whatever it is.”
Sean responded, “You did?” Before getting cut off by Hailey angrily yelling, “Yeah, sure you did.” Rolling her eyes.
A trio of figures appeared, two people who Drew couldn’t recognize, but there was one who he did.
Elliot.
The nerd.
The Flower boy.
Milly’s crush.
The girl, he thought they were, stepped forward, saying, “Trust me, all of you are supposed to be here. It’s for your safety that you came.”
She looked towards the taller person next to her, almost arguing with them.
She looked back at Drew and the group, and said, “I’m Estelle, She/They. I’m the one who called you all here.”
He heard Liam snicker, whispering to Henry “Really? I couldn’t tell?”
Estelle, he now could call her, had long mauve(Light saturated lavender color) hair, and looked almost familiar. Her hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and had blonde bangs.
She continued, saying, “And this is Luca. They use all pronouns.”
Luca laughed, nudging Estelle. “You know, I can introduce myself too, right?”
He had dark navy colored hair, a medium length, similar to his own. He too had blond bangs, but it were more platinum blond than Estelle’s.
“As she said, I’m Luca. Estelle’s my younger sister, and I’m pretty sure that you all know Elliot..”
Drew found himself tuning out Luca, studying the siblings.
There was a particular thing he noticed, and it… looked supernatural.
Their ears…
They were pointed.
Just like the elves in the story his father told him and Milly when they were kids.
He looked towards Milly, who was staring back at him, obviously having noticed as well.
He listened to Luca, now curious on what they had to say.
“-and yes, you all are elves too, all of your ears are pointed too, there’s just a glamor cast over them by those a part of your family who too, are elves. You all are the majority of the elves in this area, and you must come with us as soon as possible to our realm.”
“Wait. Why aren’t our parents coming with us then? If they’re also elves.” Hailey but in, and as annoyed as he was, he had to agree.
Estelle responded to her, saying, “Well, your parents are safe from the threat.”
“What the fuck’s the threat then?!” Drew found himself asking. “If you’re going to call us all here, saying we’re in,” He paused making air quotes with his hands, “Danger, tell us what the hell’s actually threatening us. Because it seems to me right now, you’re making up a story so you could kidnap us.”
The siblings glanced at each other, before Luca said, “I- EVERYONE GET DOWN!”
“Yeah, like we should believe you. Come on Milly, we’re leaving.” Drew snickered, beginning to walk away.
“DREW!” He heard a voice yell. It sounded feminine but he couldn’t recognize who it was.” DREW LOOK OUT!”
Those were the last words he heard, before it all faded to black.
