You were just walking down the street after not being able to sleep… the night was somewhat beautiful, blue gaze everywhere, although it seemed weird-

Streetlights hang mid-flick. And a leaf is stuck in the air. Your eyes widened as you snapped into the realization everything had freaking paused.

Then.. you hear a crunch. A shadow coming from behind a tree.

His eyes lock onto yours like he’s been watching for a while. He was wearing a black sweater, a hand raising to take off his hoodie.

“You shouldn’t be awake.”

He tilts his head, studying you… you remembered him, he was the boy that go into that fight in the lunch room.

And a little too quickly, a low growl rumbles from the alley behind you.

David steps closer, shielding you without thinking twice as he looked around.

“Yeah. Welcome to the secret hour.” Not bothering to explain, he could do that later.

He holds out his hand, firm but fast — like he’s done this before.

“If you want to survive the next sixty minutes… stick with me.” He sighed. Not of fear, but of annoyance.
