Who: Noah and Tobias
Where: the lounge outside his room
When: 3:23 a.m.
Cautiously, Noah slipped out of his room, leaving the door slightly open behind him. He was a shadow in deeper shadows, silent and dressed in a black tank top and dark sweats, his feet bare, his hair slightly rumpled from the pillow. He stood there for a few moments just looking and listening and trying to figure out if he'd completely lost his mind.
At first the voice had sounded as if it was coming from under his bed, and he'd dismissed it as Them, the almighty Them in charge of whatever this was, trying to freak him out. He'd been able to doze back off after the first time he'd heard it, because the voice was so soft and so low and he couldn't make out any of the words anyway. The second time he'd wakened and sighed heavily, rolling over and sleeping fitfully until the next time. It had seemed louder, slightly better defined... and there had been something in it that had disturbed him. Something that had caused him to get out of bed and look around his room and bathroom, not turning on any lights. As he did he hadn't been able to escape the thought that something was wrong, that this was some sort of message just for him, something he'd never want to hear.
Noah's heart was beating faster by this point, and his agitation had driven him into the lounge where he stood and breathed, trying not to make a sound. He wasn't ordinarily that easily freaked out, and there was a part of his mind that told him he was being foolish. He couldn't help it, because of who the voice had sounded like to him that last time.
Minutes dragged by and everything was still. Silent. Noah's eyes tracked along the walls, the furniture, the dark and unfamiliar shapes that were only barely visible in the dim lighting. It was probably only the house settling or the ventilation system kicking on, but a faint sound made him turn his head, and the softest whisper left his lips. "...Jenna?"
