Porcelain
Chapter 4

****************************************************************************

So this is good bye...

****************************************************************************

"Thanks a lot, mister." Said JC
"You're welcome. I hope that you'll found what you want." Said the
secretary.
JC and Justin were in the agency, which give them the keys of the house.
They wanted to know where they could find a place for old books.
Fortunately, they were someone, in the village, who could help them.
JC and Justin exited the house and walked toward the house when lived the
specialist.
"I hope he'll help us... I wondered if this book is REALLY magic..." said
Justin.
"Kevin said so. You know that he understand Latin better than all of us..."
said JC
"Yeah... I don't know why but I have a bad feeling..." said Justin, caused
JC to look at him.
"Really?" he asked
"Yeah... yet I don't know why..." said Justin softly.
JC put his arms around Justin's shoulders and gently cuddled him.
"Don't worry... I'm here..." said JC
Justin looked at him and smiled.
"I know... By the way, I saw that nobody seemed to know who we are."
He said.
"Yes... but we can't kissed or hold hands, yet. It will be careless..." said
JC as he sighed.
"Well... we must hurry! We'll win time!" said Justin as he ran towards a
house.
"Hey! Wait for me!" said JC as he chased him.
They soon arrived to the 'famous' house and knocked before they entered in.
It looked like a shop. All were made in wood. There were some windows where
there were some silver crosses, old books and other old objects.
"Nice." Said Justin as he looked at them. JC just nodded when a woman, who
looked in the forty, entered in the room.
"Can I help you, gentlemen?" she asked.
"Good afternoon, madam..." said Justin
"Please call me Maria." said the woman
"Oh... well, Maria, some friends have found a book in Latin and, well, we
wondered if you can help us to translate it..." said JC politely.
"Well I'm sorry but I can't help you... I understand many languages but
unfortunately not Latin..." said the woman.
"Oh... well, it's all right... You don't know if anybody can help us?" said
JC
Maria thought about it as JC and Justin starred at her with hope.
"Well... there's a woman call Saya... she live somewhere near the village
but where... I don't know..." she said
"How you don't know?" asked JC
"Well... this woman is special... she has a strong character and never said
to anyone where she lives... She lives with his son simpleton... she's
strange but not nasty, you know." Maria said.
"You have no idea where we can find her?" asked Justin.
"No, I'm sorry..." she said, caused JC and Justin to sighed, disappointed.
"But... there's someone else that you can ask for your book. There's a very
old man called Thowerow... Marcario Thowerow..." she said.
JC and Justin's eyes widened in surprise as they heard the name.
"Marcario..." whispered Justin.
"Where can we find him?" Asked JC.
"He lived in a small house near the way which lead to the mansion, on the
hill.
But you must be careful. He didn't exited his house since many years and
he's very old..." said Maria.
"We will, don't worry miss. Thanks a lot!" they said as they exited the
house.
"Good! We're going to have help." Said Justin, grinning.
"Yeah that's good!" said JC.
The two guys exited the village and soon arrived to an old house near the
hill. A fence in wood surrounded it. If you looked at the garden, you can
tell that it wasn't well kept.
"I think it's there..." said JC.
They walked in the garden and JC knocked on the door. No answers. They
looked at each other and JC knocked again on the door before shouting:
"Is they're somebody here?"
After a few seconds, the door lightly opened and an old woman looked at them
coldly. Before they could say something, she said:
"Who are you? What do you want?"
JC and Justin could tell that the woman was unpleasant. Justin shifted
behind JC, a little intimidated by this woman.
"Um... my name is Joshua and this is Justin..." said JC pointing at Justin.
"And so? What do you want?" said the woman, getting impatient.
"We're sorry to disturb you but is Marcario Thomerow lived there?" asked JC
"Yes. Why?" said the woman.
"We want to see him." Said Justin.
"No way! Why?" she said.
"We want him to help us on a book..." said JC.
"Manage yourselves! He have no time to do that!" said the woman before
slamming the door on their faces.
JC and Justin stood in front of the door, and looked at each other.
"My god... what a..." started to say Justin, angrily, before he was cut by
JC.
"Shh... Justin, no rudeness." He said.
"Hey! Don't you see how cold she is?" said Justin.
"Of course I saw! We must try again." Said JC as he knocked on the door
another time.
No answers. He tried another time. Still no answers. Justin started to knock
on the door loudly, before shouted.
"Please! Open the door!"
Still no answers.
"Well... There's no reasons to continue... she doesn't want to answer..."
said JC as he took Justin by his left arm and dragged him toward the hill.
All the way, Justin was shouting an evil glare to the house.

Back, in the house.

"So... it's over?" asked Lance.
"Wait a minute..." said Chris as he worked on the door.
Then a click can be here.
"Yes! I told you I could do it!" said Chris as he stood up and opened the
door.
Since they were back to the house, Chris and Lance were trying to force the
several doors that were in the big room on the ground floor, while Kevin was
busy with the book. AJ, Howie and Joey were just chatting on the sofa near
the chimney when there was a fire, lighted by the boys when they came back
from lunch.
"So... here we go..." said Lance as he and Chris entered in the room. At
their surprise, the room was a big library... Exactly what they searched.
"Yes! We even find the right room!" said Chris proudly as he looked at the
big furniture that contained many many books.
"Oh... Chris look at that." Said Lance as he looked at several books.
"What?" asked Chris as he came near him.
He looked at the books on the shelve and read the titles:
"'Animals sacrifices', 'Bloody Sorcery', 'Bloody events 1800-1900'...
whoa... however was living here, he had some strange choices... " Said
Chris, a funny look on his face.
"You find the library?" said a voice.
Lance and Chris turned over and saw AJ, Joey and Howie at the door.
"Yes! Look at it!" said Chris, happily. They entered in the room and were in
awe as they looked at the room. It was circular, really big, not as much as
the entrances room but big all the same. The floor was in wood. There were
much furniture, all arranged in circles. There were several tables at the
center of the room with several chaises. The ceiling was only made by glass,
so they could see the sky.
"I don't think I'll stop to be amazing by this house!" said Howie.
"Yeah, me too." Said AJ and Joey.
"So... we can look for books to help Kevin... Yeah, I know it will be long
but we can do that as we wait for JC and Justin." Said Lance
"I hope they found something..." said Howie as they all started to look at
the books.

In the room, Kevin was still studying the book. About fifteen minutes later,
JC and Justin entered the house.
"There you are, guys. Did you find something?" asked Kevin as he looked up
at them.
JC and Justin just shook their heads 'no'.
"There were a woman who tell us that someone named Saya could help us... but
she didn't know where she lived. And there was a man too who lived at the
bottom of the hill... but the person who lived with him just said that we
can't see him..." said JC.
"Why?" asked Kevin.
"I don't know..." said Justin.
"But who was this man?" asked Kevin.
"Thomerow... MARCARIO Thomerow..." said JC. Kevin looked at him surprised.
"Like the 'Marcario' in the book..." said Kevin.
"Yeah... What do we do now? And where are the other?" asked JC.
"Nick and Brian are upstairs... All the other are..." said Kevin as he
looked around the room. "I don't know where..."
"HEY! GUYS!" shouted Justin.
"WE'RE HERE!" screamed Howie from a room. Kevin, JC and Justin walked in the
room where was Howie and gasped as they looked at the library.
"Yes, this is the library." Said Chris as he put a book down on one of the
table. "I found it."
"Good job, Chris." Said Kevin as Chris smiled proudly.
"Hey guys! Did you find something to help us? What happened?" asked Joey to
JC and Justin.
They explained what happened and were met by disappointed faces.
"Alright... so I guess we must find out by ourselves, huh?" said AJ.
"Yeah..." said Kevin as he looked at the tables. There were several books on
it.
"You found something?" he asked.
"Yes... we thought that this books will help us..." said Lance.
"Well, we'll see what we can do with it..." said Kevin.
"I don't really want to..." said AJ
"Come on, AJ. You have nothing better to do... And, by the way, do you want
to go to the party, tonight?" asked Kevin.
"A party? What party?" asked AJ.
"I forget to tell you guys... but there's a party near the village, tonight.
The woman who hold the brasserie give me that earlier." Said Kevin as he
picked a paper out of one of his pocket. AJ took it and looked at it. It was
colored in blue, yellow, red and green. Then he started to read it.

BIG PARTY TONIGHT AT 7:00 PM!
MUSIC DANCE, TECHNO, ELECTRONIC, FUNK, POP AND R&B!
FOOD AND DRINKS AS MUCH AS YOU WANT!
AND MANY PRESENT TO WIN!
ENTRANCE 5$ ONLY!

The place of the party was at the bottom of the paper.
"Hey! Why not? It's looked funny! Since we have nothing better to do..."
said Joey. All the other agreed.
"So, we had plenty of time before it's start... we can worked on the books.
Then we go to the party and I'll pay the entrance for everyone!" said Kevin.
The other immediately agreed and started their work.
"What I must do to make them work..." thought Kevin sarcasly as he started
his work.

Several hours later...

"Hey! It's 6:10!" said AJ "We must get ready!"
"Yeah you're right... we'll restarted to work tomorrow." Said Kevin
"Without me!" said all the others. Kevin just looked at them and shook his
head. "You're lazy..." he said.
"Sorry, Kev. But it's boring me. We found nothing new! I think I'm just
going to explore the house and find other rooms." Said Chris. The other
agreed with him.
"Alright, alright... So go upstairs and get ready... Oh and don't forget to
tell Nick and Brian..." said Kevin as they exited the room.

Meanwhile, upstairs.

Nick and Brian were laying on the bed, gently kissing each other. Nick's
arms were around Brian while Brian had his left arm around Nick's waist. His
right hand was gently brushing his soft blond hair.
"You know what I would like to do?" said Nick as he broke the kiss.
"No... What?" said Brian, smiling.
Nick then rolled on top of Brian and kissed him briefly.
"And, now?" said Nick seductively.
"I still don't know..." said Brian, keeping a straight face. Nick frowned
causing Brian to burst out laughing.
"Hey! What are you waiting for?" asked Brian, smiling.
Nick smiled and started kissing Brian passionately. After a few minutes, he
broke it and started to kiss Brian's neck. Brian put his hands on Nick's tee
shirt and quickly lifted it. Nick stopped what he was doing and removed it.
He then took Brian's tee shirt and removed it in a quick motion. He then
started to kiss Brian's chest. He sucked on both Brian's nipples before
gently biting them, caused Brian's to moan in ecstasy. He then started to
kiss Brian's stomach when suddenly the door opened.
"Hey, guys! There's a party to..." started to say AJ and stopped as he saw
the scene in front of him.
Nick and Brian quickly sat up and glared at him.
"AJ! You didn't know that to knock on the door was an obligation?!" shouted
Brian.
"Gee! Sorry guys but I wanted to tell you that there's a party tonight!
You're coming?" said AJ.
"Well... I don't know..." said Brian looking at him.
"Come on! You may have fun!" said AJ
"Alright, we're coming!" said Brian, causing Nick to look at him in shock.
"Good! You must come down now!" said AJ as he closed the door.
"Why did you do that?" asked Nick
"What?" said Brian.
"Why did you say that we're coming? I thought that..." said Nick before
Brian cut him.
"Well, I thought that we might have fun with them." Said Brian as he got up.
"You rather say that you don't want to have fun with ME!" said Nick,
angrily, as he got up and walked in the bathroom. He was about to closed the
door when Brian stopped him and walked in.
"Nick! I didn't say that I didn't want to be with you tonight! I said that
we could have fun all together, tonight! We didn't have much time for that,
these other days." Said Brian
"It's the same for us..." said Nick, still a little mad.
Brian grabbed Nick by the arms and pushed him against the wall. Nick looked
at him shocked and before he knew it, Brian was passionately kissing him.
Nick didn't resist and after Brian released his arms, he put them around his
boyfriend, pulled him against his body. The two young lovers continued to
kiss for several minutes before they broke it.
"Tomorrow, I promise you that we'll make love ALL THE TIME and EVERYWHERE
you want." Whispered Brian, with a sexy voice, in Nick's ear.
Nick shuddered at that and smiled at Brian.
"Alright, baby... Can't wait for..." he whispered before he kissed Brian. He
broke it a few seconds later and looked into Brian's beautiful blue eyes.
"We must get ready." He said before they quickly got ready for the party.

Forty minutes later, on the road.

"When we'll arrive?" asked Joey
"Calm, Jo. It's the fourth time that you asked this question!" said Kevin.
"But I really want to be there! I hope there will be some hot chicks!" Joey
said causing the other to laugh.
"We'll be there in a few minutes, don't worry." Said Kevin
"I hate to walk." Said Chris.
"You know we had no choices. Mike didn't want to use the fuel needlessly."
Said AJ, imitating Mike's voice. The other just laughed and as they
continued to walk.
A few minutes later, Kevin said that the party was here, pointing at his
right. The other looked at this direction and smiled at what they saw.
The party took place in a big plain. They were a big stage, some spotlights
everywhere many tables and balloons, many mini-shops when they were foods
and drinks and much other stuff. The party had started and even if it was
only 19:10, there were already many people.
"Great! Come on guys let's go!" said AJ
They walked at the entrance and Kevin paid 30$. He then looked at Nick and
Brian and said:
"You paid your own entrance."
"Why? You paid the other!" said Nick.
"Because they worked with me on the book before we go there. Next time, work
with me." Said Kevin smiling as he joined the other.
"What a..." said Nick as he reached his wallet when Brian stopped him.
"Calm down, Nick. I'll pay..." he said as he gave 10$ to the counter clerk.
Nick just smiled at him as he and Brian joined the other at the party.

11:00 PM

Howie, Brian and Nick were sitting at their table while AJ, Joey, Chris, JC,
Justin and Lance were still dancing. A few minutes later, Kevin came back
with two beers.
"Here's your beer, Howie." Ha said.
"Thanks Kev." said Howie. Kevin looked at Nick and saw that he was asleep.
He had his arms crossed on the table and his head on them.
"Poor baby... He was too tired..." said Kevin.
"Yeah... this party was really good...." Said Brian as he got up.
"You're sure that you want to go back alone, Bri? The night is dark." Said
Kevin.
"Don't worry, cuz. I have my flashlight in case. And there's Nick with me."
Said Brian as he looked at Nick. He then gently shook him.
"Nick, baby, wake up. You'll sleep at the house."
Nick frowned and mumbled that he wanted to sleep.
"You'll sleep better in a bed..." said Brian.
"...want to sleep here... don't want to move...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz..." mumbled
Nick as he once again fell asleep.
Brian just looked at him smiling.
"Well... I guess I'll go back alone..." he said.
" You're right, he's too tired to make some steps... Don't worry, we'll wake
him up later..." said Howie.
"You better or I'll kick your ass!" said Brian smiling. "Well, later, guys."
"Later, Brian!" said both Howie and Kevin as Brian left the party.

40 minutes later...

Nick was still asleep and Kevin and Howie were just chatting. Then they saw
AJ walking toward him... well he was dancing a little as he walked and was
singing too.
"Yeah, yeh, yep pa yeeee..." he sang as he arrived at the table. The other
two could tell that he was really drunk.
"Hey, AJ! I told you to be careful with your drinks." Said Kevin.
"Wai... waiiit a minute... I broke my assss all thiss daaayyy for thissss
goddamn boookk... yesss or nooo?" he said, moving his head in many
directions.
"Huh... yes." Said Kevin.
"YESS!" said AJ. He then put his hands on the table."and... cann't I haave
some FUUUNNNN, in rewaaarrrrdd?"
"Yeah, of course AJ." Said Kevin as Howie nodded.
"You don't want to come back at the house?" asked Howie
"Noooo..." said AJ as he pouted. "At all partyy, I haadd HOOOT FUUNN wwith
girlssss. I must find somebooody for thaaaaaat..."
"Hot fun?" said Kevin as he frowned.
"Yeah... In the paartyy at Seattle, I had one hoot chiickk..." said AJ as he
counted on his fingers "At the partyy at Vancouverrr... I had TWO hooot
chiiicks... at the party at Calgaaaryyyy... I had the bouncer..."
Kevin and Howie's eyes widened as they heard AJ's last word.
"I was drunk..." he said, caused the other two to smile a little. "But I
REALLY had him... and... AT THIS PARTY... I had nothing..."
He then lost his balance and fell on the floor. Kevin and Howie were about
to get up, but they saw him put his arm on the table and get up.
"Huh... what did I zzay?" he asked.

Meanwhile, on the hill

Brian was near the house. The night was quiet. All Brian heard was his steps
on the gravel and an owl that hooted in the garden. Suddenly, he heard some
strange noise from his right. He looked at this direction and saw nothing
but the garden.
"Is they're somebody here?" he said.
He was answered by an uncomfortable silence. Brian started to walk more
quickly toward the house and once again heard the noise. It was near him. He
turned around and said:
"Who's here? What do you want?"
Once again, there was a silence. A dead silence.
"Shit! Why I just don't stay with the other?" he thought as he started to be
worried.
Suddenly the noise was loud and he heard something running toward him. He
quickly turned in the direction when was the noise and his eyes widened at
what he saw. It was too late for him. Nobody but the owl could hear his
scream.

Back at the party

"So, guys you're ready?" asked Kevin.
"Yeah... I'm so tired..." said Lance. The other just nodded.
"Wheere'ssss the beeeddd?" asked AJ waddled along the road.
"We must go back to the house first, AJ." Said Howie.
"Where's my Frick?" asked Nick as he looked around him.
"He come back to the house earlier, Nick." Said Kevin.
"Without me???" said Nick, a bit shocked.
"You wanted to sleep here, remember?" said Howie.
"Not really..." said Nick as he yawned. "I hope he's fine..."
"Well... we must go now..." said Kevin as they left the party. Normally,
they went back to the house in forty minutes, but since they were tired and
AJ was constantly walking in every direction, they finally arrived at the
mansion one- hour later. They saw nothing that looked abnormal around the
house. There was just the garden where was an owl. They quickly entered in
the house and were back in their room (Still drunk, AJ was helped by Howie
to find his room AND his bed).
Once in his room, Nick quickly stripped down his clothes, crawled in bed and
fell asleep the second his head hit the pillow. He was too tired to notice
that his boyfriend wasn't here.
