Billy’s p.o.v
“I can’t believe girls got a ghost hunt” Rocco mumbled. We were all bummed the girls always got the good cases. “Yeah, I heard it’s about a guy who had scratched on his back” Max said. I sighed. “What cases do we have?” I asked Caleb looked down at his computer. “A girl says that her boyfriend was on a hiking trip and he hasn’t called or communicated with her since last week” he said. I rolled my eyes. “Do you think there’s anything to worry about?” I asked them, they all shrugged but Caleb nodded. “Even if there isn’t we have to help her anyway” he told them, they all nodded. “Okay, get your stuff guys, where are we going?” Bobby asked Caleb. “Texas” he answered him, we all nodded. “Wait who would go camping in Texas?” I asked. Caleb shrugged and got his computer bag, putting the computer in there. “Let’s go, we want to be back before the girls are” he said, we all nodded and got our stuff.
The drive was longer, 5 hours. Once we got there, we noticed her house wasn’t middle class. It was big, cream colour with a garden. “Okay, Casey Stewart, 20 years old. She and Kevin had been going out for 5 months and then he and his big brother went camping 2 weeks ago, called every day until now” Caleb told us. “Okay, Rocco still have those fake FBI badges?” I asked, he smirked and pulled out his wallet. I took one and walked up to the house with Rocco. “Hope she doesn’t notice we’re not in suits” he mumbled I smiled. I knocked on the door, as soon as I did the door swung open, revealing inside a small girl with red hair and blue eyes, she looked as she had just been crying. “Can I help you?” She asked her voice was quite and gentle like Dawn’s. “Hello, I’m agent Hancock” I told her, Rocco muffled a laugh when I said the name. “Isn’t that a superhero?” She asked I smiled. “I get that a lot” I told her. “Oh, how rude of me, come in” She said. We smiled and went in. The house looked and felt cold, like something was missing. “Is this about Kevin?” She asked we both nodded. “Have you found something?” She asked we both shook our head. “Where did Kevin and his brother go hunting?” Rocco asked. “Oh, well it wasn’t around here it was in rock road Valley” She told us, Rocco got out his notepad and wrote it down. “Thank you Casey, we’ll call you if we find anything else” I told her she smiled and nodded.
Dawn’s p.o.v
“Okay, so you came home from school and she was just sitting no your bed?” I asked Riley he nodded. “What did she look like?” Belinda asked he thought about it for a minute. “She had long blonde hair and was wearing a red dress with matching shoes. She had eyeliner going down her face like she had been crying” He told us. I nodded. “Did you recognise her?” Belinda asked. He shook his head no. My head shot up then when I heard a roar of a car. “My mother” he answered the unspoken question. I nodded. He got up and walked out the room. “God, he’s cute” Belinda whispered, I rolled my eyes. “He’s a client” I told her she just shrugged. He came back with a smirk. “What did you tell her?” I asked he smirked. “Studying” he simply said. “Anyway, do you know some history of this house?” Belinda asked he smiled. “Just some old legends” he told her. I looked up. “Like what?” I asked. “Well there was supposed to these three friends. I can’t remember the story exactly how it goes but, a boy was involved and one friend killed the other friend” he told us. “Thanks for clearing that one up” Belinda said sarcastically. “Sorry, I was told it a while ago” he said, I smiled. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. “Hello....Oh hey Rebecca...three friends....Yeah Riley told us....okay bye” I said. “Rebecca dug up some dirt on the three friends” I told them.
James’s p.o.v
“What is it?” Daniel asked looking at the envelope I had stole from Dawn. “The test results” I answered he nodded. “Have you opened it?” He asked me I shook my head. “You’re her brother, she won’t hate you if you do this” I said, sliding it to him. He scoffed and slid it back. “Yeah she would” he told me. I laughed and then nodded. “Okay, your father is more of a monster than you are, he can do it” I said he just shook his head. “Dawn is his only daughter losing her would be tragic” he told me, I nodded. I finally sighed and slipped the envelope open.
Max’s p.o.v
Caleb and I stood outside the forest our eyes on all the trees and greenness. “And we have to find him in this?” Caleb asked I nodded. “It can’t be that big” I claimed, he raised an eyebrow at me. “Yeah okay it’s really big” I admitted. I sighed and started walking to the forest, I noticed Caleb wasn’t following. “Dude, what is it?” I asked he shivered. “Ever see that movie ‘Blair witch project’?” he asked me. I laughed. “Get your ass over here” I ordered. He shivered and then came over. “Okay, so Bobby said that some of his guy friends said he was a bit unfaithful at times” Caleb said, eyeing me. “Shut up and just look” I said. He rolled his eyes and started walking into the forest.
We had been searching for hours and nothing had been found. “Let’s call it a day” Caleb suggested, I can’t say I blame him. I then felt the vibration of my phone, I smiled once it read Dawn’s name. “Hey, Babe....yeah we’re coming back in too...okay....love you” I said, closing my phone. “Okay, the girls are staying at that guys place, Rocco and Billy are already back at the house” I told him, he nodded and packed up his laptop. Once we were on the road, Caleb was typing away in his laptop. “Got anything?” I asked he shrugged. “It could just be a false alarm” he admitted. “Wait what’s this?” he said. He typed something in and started reading something. “10 years ago a man and his wife went camping for their honeymoon. After 3 weeks pasted without contact from the family, the family filed a missing persons report, they were never found” he told me. “Looks like we have a case” I said, he nodded.
Lilly’s p.o.v
All five of us sat there looking at old news articles. “Okay, three best friends lived in the house, only one of them had a boyfriend. Her name was Lauren Sands” I told them. Belinda smiled. “Go the new girl” She smiled, I laughed. “Okay, so Riley did say there was a boy involved” Dawn said, Tayce smiled. “But there was three not two” She informed us. Rebecca laughed. “So, it doesn’t matter he could have been doing the thing with the two of them” She said, Belinda rolled her eyes. “Okay, we’ll go see Riley again” Dawn said, getting up and grabbing Belinda’s hand. “Oh when can I see the hot senior?” Rebecca said, Belinda laughed. “Why so you can fuc-“Belinda was interrupted. “Unless you’re going to say fudge, let’s go” Dawn said grabbing Belinda’s hand. I sighed. “What do we do now?” I asked Tayce smiled. “WE have to find out who this boyfriend is” She said Rebecca just rolled her eyes. I smiled. “What do we do first?” I asked Tayce pulled out a file of papers. “This is the history of this town right here in this thick ass book thing, you read it and let’s see what you get” She told me.
Dawn’s p.o.v
Riley was in his mother had informed us, she didn’t even ask why we were in her house. I walked up to Riley’s door and knocked. “Come in” he called from inside I opened the door to find him shirtless! “Oh, my sorry” I said he just smirked. I noticed the red marks had gotten worse. “What happened?” I asked he grinned. “Not to worry about the new ones, that was my girlfriends doing” he said, I mouthed and oh. “Okay, so who told you that story about the girls?” I asked he smiled. “My father I go to house on weekends” he told me. “Can we go now?” I asked he shrugged. “Not that my mother would notice but I’ll ask” he said, slipping a shirt on and walking out. “That was awkward” I heard Belinda’s voice behind me say, I turned to her. “Shut up and get in the car” I said she just smirked.
We both walked downstairs to find Riley; he was grabbing a bag out of the closet. “Hey, my mother said yes, so ready to go?” he asked us I nodded and Belinda just shrugged. He smiled. “Okay, your car or mine?” he asked.
Billy’s p.o.v
Rocco and I were the first to get home. Rocco took a deep breath and practically collapsed on the couch. “I need sleep” he told me, I laughed. “Sleep doesn’t come with the job” I reminded him he just smirked and took a sip of my soda. “So, what do you think about Belinda?” he asked me, I looked at him with surprise. “Why, you like her?” I asked he just shrugged. I then sat down in the chair next to him. “Do you think I need a girlfriend?” I asked he opened his eyes. “Do you mean girlfriend or Dawn?” he asked me still smirking. I rolled my eyes and turned to start walking upstairs.
Once I was in my room, I took of my jacket and then my shirt. I turned to my mirror and looked at my back behind my shoulder. I saw the big name ‘Danielle’ across my back. “Note to self never get another tattoo” I whispered. I had got this tattoo when I was only 15, stupid and thinking I was the best since I had a girlfriend. I had thought of getting it removed but then someone would have to know about it. I felt my phone vibrate. I picked it up, the screen read across it ‘Monster in law’ I sighed and then opened it. “Hello baby, how are you?” She asked I shivered. “Just fine Julie, how are you?” I returned I heard her sigh. “I miss you” She whispered, I shivered again. Another one of my biggest mistakes was getting drunk with her; you can only imagine how bad my judgment must have been. “That’s too bad, how’s my father?” I asked I heard her laugh. “Not as good as you” She whispered, I cupped my mouth stopping myself from saying EW. “Come see me, darling we need to catch up” She said. I again had to cup my mouth. “Can’t have a date” I lied, I heard her gasp. “Who is she?” She asked her tone was somewhat like a girlfriend who had just found out her boyfriend was cheating. “Margo” I told her, she gasped even louder. Margo was Lilly’s best friend, my age, pretty in a blond way I guess. “Fine, but if you ever need any company just give me a call” She told me, I noted in my head that that would never happen. “Thanks I’ll keep that in mind” I said she just hung up. I threw my phone on my bed. “God I’m an idiot, what if she told Margo?” I asked myself. I picked up my phone again; I dialled the numbers I never thought I would have to ring. The phone rang once, “Hello?” Her high pitched voice asked. “Hey Margo” I said, she laughed. “Why hellos Billy what pleasure do I have for you to be calling?” She asked, I was about to say the pleasure was all mine, but I didn’t want to lie. “I need a favour” I told her, she laughed. “Why do you want to know what I’m wearing?” She joked, well I hope she was. “I need you to pretend to go on a date with me” I said, I heard no laugh or gasped. “Margo?” I asked. “Why?” She asked me, I sighed. “Long story” I said, I hear her laugh. “Fine” She said. I smiled. “Just tell Julie we did okay?” I told her. “Fine, how’s Lilly?” She asked, I could have told her if I knew. “Great she really likes it here” I lied, or at least I think I was. “Okay, well talk to you later, bye babe” She said then hung up. I then threw my phone on the bed again. I sat there next to it and put my face in my hands. “Hey” I heard a familiar voice say. I turned to see Adele standing at my window sill. She smirked. “Can vampires fly now?” I asked she just laughed. “No but they sure can jump” She told me, she tried to get in but couldn’t. “Come in” I said she laughed. “God I hate that” She said, she sat next to me and leaned her lips on my shoulder. “I also hate that tattoo” She said, tracing it with her finger nails. “Careful not to scratch me” I told her. She laughed. She got her hand on my chin and turned me to face her; she crashed her lips on mine. At first I didn’t kiss back, I didn’t really want to deal with anyone right now. “Stop” I said, she sighed and rolled her eyes. “You’re acting as if we haven’t before” She said, kissing my cheek. I pushed her back. “I’m tired” I told her, she laughed. “So am I draining people these days really takes some up” she joked.
“I can’t believe girls got a ghost hunt” Rocco mumbled. We were all bummed the girls always got the good cases. “Yeah, I heard it’s about a guy who had scratched on his back” Max said. I sighed. “What cases do we have?” I asked Caleb looked down at his computer. “A girl says that her boyfriend was on a hiking trip and he hasn’t called or communicated with her since last week” he said.

I took one and walked up to the house with Rocco. “Hope she doesn’t notice we’re not in suits” he mumbled I smiled. I knocked on the door, as soon as I did the door swung open, revealing inside a small girl with red hair and blue eyes, she looked as she had just been crying. “Can I help you?” She asked her voice was quite and gentle like Dawn’s. “Hello, I’m agent Hancock” I told her, Rocco muffled a laugh when I said the name. “Isn’t that a superhero?” She asked I smiled. “I get that a lot” I told her. “Oh, how rude of me, come in” She said. We smiled and went in. The house looked and felt cold, like something was missing. “Is this about Kevin?” She asked we both nodded. “Have you found something?” She asked we both shook our head. “Where did Kevin and his brother go hunting?” Rocco asked. “Oh, well it wasn’t around here it was in rock road Valley” She told us, Rocco got out his notepad and wrote it down. “Thank you Casey, we’ll call you if we find anything else” I told her she smiled and nodded.

This is written about the perfect silence only found in the dead of night, and the feelings it inspires.
The title comes from the description a friend of mine gave when we were stuck in the middle of nowhere at midnight and I found it sort of beautiful.
Enjoy (I hope) :)
Weighted air and winking stars,
darkness draped, tension wrought.
This night, this hour, is ours.
Silence chimes unspoken thoughts
that choke my mouth.
Silver moonbeams in glittering outline
surround you, and in our youth
this night, this hour, we intertwine.
I'd love to hear what you like or hate.
Thanks for reading.

First off, to those of you that know me, I haven't posted at all in awhile, I'm aware my "Nightfall" series hasn't been updated for those of you that liked it, but since school started back, I have had hardly any time to write anything. I WILL get back to posting on "Nightfall" if anything else for the sake of completion. But I also discovered the marvolous "Fallout" series a few months back, and decided to try to make a novel out of it. For those of you not familiar with the series, "Fallout" is a series of games set in a post-apocyloptic future, and finds a custom made protagonist made customly by the player dealing with life in the now wastelandic USA. My story is loosely based off "Fallout 3" but with major differences along the way, so the story is original in that aspect. If you guys will read the story, I will make it as adaptable as I can for those who are not familiar with it. Please leave comments, so I know whether or not I should post it. Thank you. -AdamK
