Embers of Darkness

Maybe I'm red, maybe I'm blue, maybe it's a butterfly flying towards me, or maybe it's just …. DEAD!

Humph….

The 40-year-old chef opens his eyes in shock and fear. He looks around him and notices he's on a couch with his protruding belly filling the path before his eyes. Turning to his side, he gasps and lets out a sigh of relief as he is drenched in sweat.

What in the world was that? I can't even get my mind to it.

Honey! Get off the couch else we are going to be late.

Yes baby, I'm coming...

He tucks his hands through the sleeves of the brown coat and makes his way towards the door.

It feels like the weather is pretty warm, isn't it? (speaking to himself)

Scene skips rapidly. Present time

Hello Mr. Hawkins!

The man steps into the classroom and meets an excited class of kids in standing to greet him. He moves towards his table and sits ion it causing a little squeak. The room becomes quiet with everyone focused on him in eagerness of seeing if he would fall or not.

Well come on! It's not like this big boy of a table can break dow…

Thump!!

The table breaks in with him falling on his back as he hears the loud laughter from the kids. His sight blurs a little whilst he attempts to get back on his feet.

You know things just like these (struggling to get up) are just what you need for a little change…huh

The room suddenly becomes silent making him startled. He gains control of his sight and notices there is no one in the classroom. He then takes two steps backwards and tries to make sense of the series of events which are occurring.

I thought I saw them….

Maybe I'm red, maybe I'm blue. Maybe it's a butterfly flying towards me, or maybe it's just ...

(Shivering in fear) Dead?

Hoh look who's all grown up now? My dear little pig.

You!! Stay away from me!!

Mr. Hawkins tries to run through the door of the class but suddenly appears back into the class.

This can't be happening! You promised you would leave me alone!

I promised? I promised?... what is a promise? I would like to hear more about it. (smiling with deep killing intent)

The pressure suppresses Hawkins down to the round causing him to blackout with his eyes rolled up. She walks towards him and steps on his belly.

Wake up nightmare!

A wave of energy passes through Mr. Hawkins causing the ground to break inwards with him spitting out black blood.

Arghhhh !!(blood oozing from his eyes and horns piercing out from his skin)

Shut up!!(smiling gleefully) This is just but little of the pain I would like you to enjoy.

Rrrrrhhhh…

I guess you hate me that much huh? What did you do to mother to make her want your death so cruel. I just want to know the reason….as to if I should give you a chance to die peacefully.

Hahaha…argh. Die peacefully? You wretched monsters who enjoy torturing others with your deception and lies. You make nightmares and push us deep into the embers of darkness. I know it! .... That disgusting smell of you witches. You destroyed my planet only because we refused to accept your unnecessary bloodshed of using us as entertainment. Yet… (cough cough) …. what did you do to us huh? You wiped us out with the few of us escaped trying to make a living for ourselves and you still call yourself gods? Gods who are afraid of mere mortals? Gods who are so loose from reality, that they put precious minerals as seats for their reign and sit on them. Expecting us to use our lives as senseless sacrifices for their gain? Well I.… I have had just enough of all your games dear goddess. I have had enough!

He opens his mouth revealing a all of fire in his mouth and attempts to fire it but time just freezes. She then looks into the eyes of Hawkins and frowns with disgust. The killing intent makes the air heavy and places a lot of pressure on the mind of Hawkins with him screaming in agony.

You dare insult mother?  You think this is all true huh? Well, I made you think you were living a life, I wiped out your family, your world in my own illusion. I replayed your life over and over and over and over and! I just stopped.  Stopped because you seemed stronger than usual. Yet what am I seeing? Failure!!!

Arghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

YOU WANT TO DIE? DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT MERCY IS ENOUGH FOR YOU? DID YOU HOPE THAT USING THE STAR OF ACAREXSEM WOULD MAKE A DIFFETRENCE TO ME? TO MOTHER? TO A GOD? WELL….!!!!!!!

UCK!! Arghhhh!!

Scream, yes …. scream through this frozen time with the star burning endlessly in your lungs (pauses). Mother said I am in control of time so I had my fun, you were always in my palm Elikem. You have no life. It was all an illusion, my dear Elikem. You want to kill me? You want payback, you want to take control huh? Stop being such a weakling you pig...…YOU WANT REVENGE? COME FOR IT!!(laughing mischievously in an evil tone with her palm covering a part of her face.

I swear…. I will kill you!!!

Another shockwave passes through Hawkins making him blackout again. She grabs his head and drags him on the ground to a nearby portal.

Let's see how great your resolve is then. I will choose where we would fight little runaway. How would you like to fight in a black hole? Sounds crazy right? Hahahaha…Oh I forgot to tell you my name. I'm… (portal sucks them in).

JANE!!
