scared

[ ] I'm not special I'm just some quiet kid from a small farm town and now I chained in a dark room to someone I've never met before her voice is quite and shaken I look behind me and whisper quietly are you hurt anywhere she responds in a whisper I'm ok for now I quickly followed up with another question do you remember how you got here? She seemed a little shaken towards the question but she answers very quietly it hard to remember I was washing dishes and then it went dark. Well we seem to be safe for now so I'm nathan I'm a 17 year old high schooler I said with a little fear in my voice. Yeah so it seems huh well I'm melody I'm 23 I am in a band she replied chuckling Wait, I think somebody's coming. Nathan says in a hurry and right I. The moment the door swings open with a loud thud following bye a bright blue light but I think we should probably take a step back and I can explain the events leading to this moment it all started on a normal September day it was sunny out side a nice breeze the smell of smoke filled the air as my neighbor was burning his wood and leave in his backyard. I did what I would always do in the morning wake up take a shower put my clothes on make my lunch and get ready for bus then I would always take the same path to the bus stop but today I wasn't really wanting to go that way so I decided to take the back alley way to the bus stop. As I was walking in the quiet dirty alley I looked up from my phone to find a homeless man sitting up against a shed he started calling for me and I kept walking finally I made it to the bus stop where I met up with my friends Romeo and caden we have known each other since third grade we have always been there for one other sup fucker Romeo blurts out what's up you guys I respond trying not to laugh then caden walks up to me in kinda in a hurry nathan he say under his breath yeah what's up I respond kinda confused he explains that he has had a bad feeling today and that I should be careful about who I greet. I understand I'll keep an eye out I respond with a hint of uneasiness. We finally get to school were I do my classes and boring stuff then after the last period of the day caden and romeo walk up to me and ask if I want to come over and hangout after school yeah sure i answer happily.we meet up at the bus and get ready to go then I got some chills going down my back and when I turned my head I met eyes with the homeless man so I tap Camden's shoulder and rush on the bus caden asks if I ok in a worried voice I'm fine I respond still trying to catch my breath okay well I'm just saying you seemed like in a hurry to get on the bus he exclaims I'm fine im just excited to hang out I respond with a little uneasiness in my voice okay then let's have some fun aye boys caden say with a happy and proud tone. We get to caden were we played games made good smoked and just had fun. We ended the night with a bonfire and then I received a text from my mom asking for me to come so so I pack up my stuff say my good byes and went off. On the way back home from Cadens house is though the long alleyway ity was already dark and I was scared of running into that man on my way home so I turned on my flashlight and kept walking. I could see my house and and there was no homeless man in sight so I turn my light off and continue walking. But then out of the corner of my eye I saw this spark and it made me jump and turn around I turned my light on but there was nothing there so I turned my light off and turned around where I came face to face with the homeless man i was frozen in place i couldn't move a muscle. Then the man started talking very quietly I couldn't really make out the word but I did here found you followed bye a curdling chuckle. All I wanted to do was run my house was so close but he was standing in the way I was terrified I didn't now what to do finally he starts moving towards me I tried walking backwards were I then accidentally walked back up against the same shed he gets up to me all I can smell is ash and death off of him he then raises his left hand over my left eye so you can't see out of this one I see he exclaims how do you now that I say trembling that's not important but I can help try out he's says with a wide grin how could you possibly help me I said will fearing for my life he then pulls out a eye from his front coat pocket and then proceeds to blow it off this I can exchange it for you at one cost he responds with a wide grin on his face what cost and how can you exchange my eye with that one I ask you dont need to worry about that he exclaims why am I getting tired all sodden I say with a long yawn. And then woke up in my bed the next morning to my mom waking me up goodmorning honey she say softly and politely goodmorning I yawn as I sit up how did I get back last night I asked you walked do you not remember she explains oh yeah that's right I respond not sure still of what happened last night she then leaves the room where I I reach for my water bottle and crush it with one squeeze how the fuck that's not supposed to happen I say with concern in my voice so I hide it under my bed and get ready for my day I walk done stares were my mom dad and brother are eating at the table goodmorning everyone i say still worried that they will find the bottle goodmorning they all respond so what's the plan today huh Bobby my dad says as he turns the page I was gonna go help grandpa out again with the yard work I answer with a smile that's good getting out there helping he says as he turn another page alright I'm heading out love you guys bye I say as I open the front door bye have a good day they all respond with I didn't see the man there today so I wonder what he wanted and this eye how can I see what's going on who is he and who am I to him then I finally get to my grandpas were I help him we have lemonade talked and bonded good bye grandpa it's getting late I say on my way out see yay later but be safe he replies. I start heading home and then I get this sharp pain in my left eye and in that moment I hear a scream and a crash I look over and there's to cars colliding one a small sedan and the other in a construction truck who seems to have fallen asleep after a long day at work and right then and there I could see as if it was slow motion one of the pipe in the truck was hurtling straight towards me it was like I. Was stuck in place again I couldn't move and I had to watch the pipe slowly go in to my chest every part of my body was in pain it was like it was on fire then it just went dark when I woke up all I could hear was sirens and people nearby in a panic trying to see what happened I stood up and heard a scream I look over and see a woman terrified ii look down on myself and I'm covered in blood and the pole still in my chest I didn't know what to do so I ran I ran as fast as I possibly could I've never been able to run this fast especially with a ppolle still in my chest I stop at a nearby park that no one seems to be at i go in to the bathroom where I look in the mirror what am I ask myself in the mirror I look closely at the eye the man apparently gave my and then in that exact moment I saw that spark again like I saw that one day in the alley in my eye I grab the pole in my chest and yank it out I scream at the top of my lungs and finally the poles out then I start feeling the burning in my chest again I look down it was like random dome fire gathering in my wond it's starting to heal it hurts like hell though I'm scared honestly I dont now what I am or who I am anymore I dont need glasses no more I can see out my eye now I clean my self off and start heading home I get in side and head in to the living room where my mom and dad are sitting my brothers must be in there rooms I'm gonna just head up to mine too stop right there my day says with a concerned face why do you look so pale oh i witnessed a car crash and it kinda freaked me out i said in a hurry trying to get to my room ok well I'm glad your safe he yelled done the hall i get in to my room and instantly go for the candle i set it up on my desk and stare at it maybe since the fire gathers around my chest then maybe i can control it stand there for about an hour doing stupid little poses like spider man then finally i stop and say to my self ok it's time to get serious and i focus as hard as i could on the candle and still nothing i have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing oh wait maybe instead of focusing on the candle maybe i should focus on my hand ok let's do this I close my eyes and focus all I got into my hand then it starts tingling and I hear sparks I look done and my whole hand is engulfed in flames I freak out and try to put the flame out wow this is cool I whisper to myself I can make solid objects with the fire I proceed to make a sword and spear out of the flames this is amazing I could do so much with this I can never be cold again but wait I need to find that man he must now more about this he gave me the eye I wonder what for whatever I'll worry about it tomorrow it's was a long day I should go to bed. I lay back with what happened still on my mind I turn over reach in my drawer and pole out my rainy day joint I open my window next to me and I spark that joint and in that moment nothing mattered I was just focused on relaxing but then I look out my window that car seems to have a person in it is he watching me flick the joint out close my window and turn on the TV I turn it to some random anime and lay back and try not to think about it and I slip in to sleep I have a weird dream is was the fire from that one day it starts flying around in the dark and then it just stops right in front of me it starts to take a weird shape I can't seem to make it out just yet and then in that moment out of the fire a Phoenix was created it called my name it told me to let go of the people of the people around me because they would only get hurt I didn't now what he meant then I wish I had listen to him then I awoke and it was all still there in my mind I could still remember I stand up off my bed and get dressed I need to find that man I rush down stares but my mom stops me have a good day honey bye she says as I stop ok you too i replie rushing out the door the car is still out front and he still seems to be in there I should stay away from that car I remind myself I didn't really now where to start looking so I just went back to where it all started the alley I didn't see the man there again but I start searching around and find a little pin that seems to have a roc on it witch is a old legend from sailors who would be attacked by them at sea there a giant hawk who apparently was matched with the Phoenix they would say if there was a fight between the two it would end in a draw I wonder why they chose roc? In that moment I could here a car engine in the back round I look behind me and the car is speeding down the alley I think they plan on hitting me the alley is to narrow I can't dodge the car is getting closer I have to act fast I stop and focus the car is closing in but I have to stay focused I waited until I could feel the wind off the car being pushed and then I realise all my power out my feet a large rocket of fire shots me up higher and higher I survived yes I yell in excitement then I look down and realize I'm falling atleast 20 stories down I can see the man getting out of his car then getting back in and leaving he must figure I'm dead anyways no point huh sigh I wonder how this is gonna go I'm just gonna hit the ground with I feel it again and will I die? Snack it honestly sounded like a loud clap I mean fuck that hurt I stand up cough a little blood and start home I seem to have lost him but he will be back when he finds out I'm not dead. I start limping home I can still feel the fire in my legs it hurts so bad but I can feel my legs healing this is amazing I'm immortal. I get home run up stairs I say goodnight shut my door and open my window and light a cigarette I have been needing all day I take in a deep breath and all my worries melt away the only thing that matters now is me myself and I I wake up the next morning feeling refreshed I should check out my power more I set a candle on desk and I sit on the edge of my bed I close my eyes and focus but when I open them nothing happens most not be able to control fire at will yet. its Monday already and I'm getting ready for school I through my clothes on and start walking to the bus on my way I think I see the man in the corner of my eye but when I look he's not there I'm so scared and confused I snap my fingers randomly and it was like a flamethrower shooting out my fingers it was honestly kinda beautiful but this isn't gonna be like spider man this is real life real danger but luckily I'm immortal or so it seem for now I arrive at school it was like any other day at school nothing special I get home race to my room again and I start messing with my power maybe I should sneak out and try to help people it already 12 now so I'm just about ready to go I sneak out my window and run I couldn't really find anything but then in that moment I could hear a womans scream I turned the corner into a dark alley way there stood to men standing over a girl that they seem to be trying to rape her I'm scared and frozen but I finally work up the courage to tell stop it went quiet except you can still hear the woman cry they both look back at me with a glare they slowly start moving towards me I'm still frozen in place they got in my face and asked if there was a problem it was like something snapped and they both went up in flames they scream echo though the night all I could do was stand there and watch the lady already ran well I'm happy she's ok atleast then I get jolted into a black van and they speed of I arrive at a castle looking building a big man with a scare across his face he grade me and bring me inside were there is a man sitting by a open fire smoking out of a old opium pipe come here boy the man say his voice somewhat fermiller walk over and sit a cabar he offers me I gladly except and light it up il ead a big group of researchers to help me make people more powerful I'm here to help people what about you why are you here he asked dean serious I dont really now to be honest I replie no I mean your purpose he cuts me off to say I run rok and you just so happen to be one of my lab rats a test dummies to be exact a test dummy I reply confused I trying to make super humans of immortals to fight in the war and I want you to help me your DNA is compatible with my Phoenix serum. I cant and I wont help you I replie why we can one this world he says with anger clearly in his voice I just cant I have a family friend and a life I cant just drop everything to help you and I wont help you control the world I exclaim quickly awe I see you now this actually make sense roc and the Phoenix are natural enemy's in old Greek myth so I was ready for that answer grab him the big man with the scare grabs me I panic so I snap and he goes up in flames I run outside and steal a car the man just stands there and watches me escape I drive home and go to my room it feels more like a joint night and I crack the window to realize that the car is still out there I call up caden he comes done and we chop the car I guess I'm running off of no sleep again it's been 2 days I haven't heard anything from roc and then in the moment it was like I could see in slow motion a black car comes plowing through my house there someone in the back seat with a bag over there face then the men hop out and hold my family at gun point they had to wrestle my dad to the ground and the long haired man steps out and says ready now I have no choice I get in the car and then it went black. welp now where all caught up so let's continue the story the door swung open as two tall men were standing there one seemed to have a syringe in his hand the other a bag he stabbed me in the neck with the syringe and puts the bag over the girl's face wake up to find myself laying on a cold hard metal doctor's table where they seem to be getting ready to has surgery on me but something's not right that woman where did she go and then I look up to find the one of the doctors was the woman who was helping to cut me open every inch every cut I could feel as of gliding down my chest from there I couldn't die all I could do was sit and watch as it burned in stone then in that moment out of my rib cage I could see a bright light it was the flame that they want it so bad all she could say was I'm sorry burly it ment nothing because I was already in a living hell each day the same thing them trying to get the flame but they never could seem to extract it feels like it has been months since I have been here I'm slowly going crazy I'm being swallowed up by the flame its already has my left arm and eye completely engulfed in the flame the pain has just become second nature all I want is to just die at this point but in the distance I can here a faint beat it sounds so fermiller it reminds me of home that's right my family and my friends I need to get back now I look for hours nothing I cant seem to escape this hell but what if I give in to the flame for a little my whole body engulfs in flame it's like my body was just made of fire I slide under the door and take out the guards I can still hear the beat I decide to follow it it leads me down a dark long hallway and with each step it gets louder wait I now this song its Tongue Tied by Grouplove finally I reached the end of the hallway meet at towering door I take a deep breath in and open the door to where I find my friends who standing over a pile of corpses we've come to save you Kaden says with an excited voice took you long enough Romeo says sarcastically you guys actually came quite I say confused in but happy how how did you guys we read your note you left under your bed a while ago the one explaining what's going on with you and everything how well thank you I say well then let's get out of here then Kayden says we run for the door outside it doesn't seem to be anybody around here we open the door to find people standing in stands watching a man on the podium speaking we can't make out what he says so we get closer under the stage from there we hear him explain that they found the Cure that they will make the superhumans here soon they just need me but I plan on leaving ipanic I don't know what to do I'm scared I'm just a child how am I supposed to be the key so I sent Flames hurtling through the stands blood-curdling screams fill the air from there we try to run people are chasing after us we go to the back side of the building from there there's a cliff in the man with long hair standing at the edge of Aunt join me we will win we will take this world by storm The Rock and the Phoenix no I refuse I explained I will rid this world of you and everything you stand for if it comes down to it all in myself as well how can you do that you're mortal you will always be here and we will always find you well I did a little bit of research myself and the only thing that can kill Phoenix is Phoenix playing I won towards the man and we fall off the cliff as we're falling I fully ignite myself the flame inside only getting brighter and brighter you can hear the man's scream but we continue to just fall through the air a tear goes down my face as I look back up to find my friends standing there crying reaching out for me don't be sad I've made my choice I want to protect you you've done enough goodbye and then in that moment poof the Flames are gone all you can see is Ash flutter through the air on the Open Water sunset on the ocean but that moment there is a little Spark that's all the end
