2. Oh no, a Bomb

~~~~~~~~

London: 2007

*#'BOOOOOM'#*

The Car right beside me Exploded and the Fire of the Explosion began to engulf everything in the Surroundings. My Father, The other people just walking near here and me, we were all getting flung into the Air from the knock-back of the Explosion.

As I felt the Fire on my Skin, and the movement of my Hair as I flew in the Sky, I 'Sense?' something weird, something unnatural. -besides the obvious-. As if something just had changed, the Fire was still everywhere, and I was still in the Air, my Skin burned and I felt the Immense pain as I tried to fight it, but there was something fascinating. There were multiple very thin Blue lines floating everywhere in the Air.

They looked so, beautiful, I got the urge to touch them, but I was very hesitant as I still needed to protect myself from the Fire, but my curiosity finally overcame me as I did so, I wanted to know what exactly that is.

As my Hand got nearer and nearer to one of the Blue Streaks which was in my reach, it began to Brimm of 'Energy'? and vibrate more and more violently the nearer I got with my hands, as if urging me to touch it, and eventually after what felt like an Eternity for me, I touched it.

And just then I felt almost all the Energy leave my Body, I almost fell unconscious, but the burning Pain of the Fire didn't let me, that was where I saw it.

An almost translucent 'thin' Blue Barrier was there where I touched the Blue thingy. It protected everyone behind it, protected from the Fire I tried to rationalize what just happened with my now tired Mind, but before I could do that, I fell onto the Ground hitting my Head, and losing consciousness in the process.

POV: Alexander Grant

I was just walking through Cockspur Str. on the Way to the Mall with my Son, but then I heard a loud sound, It was an Explosion, followed by Screams as People were being engulfed by the Flames, I too was taken by the Fire and flung into the Air, as I looked for Aron, but to my surprise he was fascinated by something, and even wanted to touch nearer to the Explosion it seems like.

I tried to get a Grip of the Ground as I wasn't too high in the Air and make a Dash towards him, while screaming his Name, I felt the burn on my whole Body, but I didn't care, my Son was more important than this measly Pain I was feeling, I was worried that he might Die from the inevitable Fall to the ground as he is a very fragile Child, but before I could even catch him, something blocked all the Fire from spreading our direction, and my Eyes were fixed on that Spot.

I was confused as to why? After a few moments everything was over. half the Street was Destroyed, people Died and were still burning, others tried to hit the Fire on themselves in hopes of it being put out or took off their Clothes. But it all felt so unreal, I was still wandering what protected us. We were pretty much right next to the Explosion, but had minimal damage, and the Sidewalk we were on was just fine too.

I wondered for an answer before I heard something hit the ground, I looked at it and hit myself on the forehead noticing my stupidity.

It was my Son, Aron, who fell onto the Stone.

Sitting down I put his Head on my lap and examined the wound on his head, It seems that he first hit the Floor with his back and then again with his Head as a secondary motion.

I quickly took out my Phone to call the Ambulance, I was sure that they were already coming because of the Explosion, but I just wanted to make sure of it. Waiting for it to come I caressed the Short and Soft Hair of my Son, while I hear people crying for their lost ones or still screaming in Pain, before one could hear Sirens adding to the Chaos.

Truly a disturbing Sight to behold.

POV: Aron Grant

[Yesterday was a truly Tragic Day. . A Bomb was found near the Tiger Tiger club, luckily the Police was able to defuse the Bomb before anything could happen. . But there was a second Bomb. . .] The News-reporter paused for a while, before her Voice turned Grim, with Sadness evident on her Face [. . .This one. We couldn't find in time, there were many casualties as the Bomb detonated, and the Police states that they will find the ones responsible for this Disaster and that they will feel the Hammer of Justice. They too . . .] As she speaks further I wondered where I was as I Mind was still all fuzzy, so I looked around.

"Well the Walls are White, just like the Bed, Blanket and such, and the Curtains are Blue, there are weird machines tucked into my Arms, and weird Blue streaks running through the Air, so I'm probably in a Hospital" But why would I be in the Hospital, I think trying to remember what happened beforehand.

Wait, Blue Streaks, after this thought plopped into my Mind I started to remember the Fire, the Pain from it and the Blue thingy helping me.

fascinated I start to make my way towards it ignoring the machines connected to me, as they get tucked out of my arms, and the machines make a peeping sound.

Finally reaching the Blue I touch it, but this time nothing happened, it just ignored my Hand. What but why? maybe it only reacts in certain situations? or when there is a Trigger?

Even then why can I suddenly see it?

Trying to find answers to my Questions, I went deep in thought, but came to absolutely no results.

#BAAM#

The Door was suddenly flung open as a Nurse came in. she looked distressed and seemed as if she just ran a marathon to get here, she looks at me sitting there on the Bed and let out a smile.

"O-Oh you are Awake" she said still out of breath.

"Ah yeah I am, but, where is my Father?" I ask, knowing that he was with me.

"Ah, he said that he had to go take care of some Paperwork, but your Mother is here waiting for you." She says with a Smile on her Face, However at the mention of that 'Woman' I couldn't help but frown, as I respond "Could you please not call her 'my Mother' she is my Step-Mother not my Mother, there is a big difference" I say it with much of a displeasure in my Voice.

"Ok?" She responds, obviously taken aback, "But you have to stay here either way for a few more days for the Check up."

"Wait. . Until when?" I ask realizing that if I don't get back to school on Monday that I can't do Chucks and Jacks Homework, which would have obvious Results.

"Probably till Tuesday, but don't worry we will excuse you at school." She says

"N-No I-I can go to school, look I am fine" I say while taking my Arm and swinging it in a circle, but I felt the pain of burn marks still.

"Look we just want to Check up on you, If you really don't want that then you can talk to your Parents about it." these are her last words before walking out of the Door, probably to notify 'her'.

After a few minutes of sitting there, my Step-mother walked in, and after seeing me ran right towards me looking worried as she asked if I was feeling 'ok'.

She was a Middle-Aged Woman with Brown curly Hair, Purple Eyes and Fair Skin, she was about 5,25 feet (160cm).

But 'no' I don't feel very good, the many burnmarks from well . . . being engulfed in flames for a moment hurt like Shit, and the bruises on my Face too hurt pretty badly, I still wonder how I don't have a broken nose or something.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good" I say pushing her away from me as I try to Ignore the Pain as much as possible. But I really can't stand her, first she seduced my Father with some Voodoo Magic or so and now she even tries to be my Mother and being all "Ah, I care so much for you", like seriously. And why would I need her, it was way better with just me, mom and dad, even when Mother was gone I at least had Dad. But now that she is here I don't even always have him.

She looked a little disappointed -'You got that right, you won't get me that easily, no, you won't even get me at 'ALL''-.

"Listen Aron, we are moving to New York, because of the Job Offer Alex got, so tell that your Friends and such, because we are moving next month."She says trying to caress my Hair, but I move my Head away.

"Ok, then I'll do that, but can I go to school on Monday at least?" I ask not really expecting much from that Witch.

"No, Your Father and I decided that it would be Best if you focus your Energy on recovering first."

'Crap, gotta get beat'

A few days passed with regular visits from my Father and Step-Mother, they brought actually edible Food, (I mean nothing against Hospital Food, but it just isn't my cup of Tea at all, for me it was just terrible) and talked with me, making me feel less Alone, and lifting the boredom for a while.

Dad too wanted to ask if I knew what that weird Barrier thing was, to which I answered that I didn't know, because that was the truth, I knew absolutely nothing about it, besides that it appeared in a Situation where I needed it to appear, and that i probably have to touch it for it to work.

And even after the few days I still couldn't figure out anything, the Blue Streak didn't respond to me no matter how many times I hit it, or tried to bend it like in 'Avatar' it just didn't respond at all.

Anyway it is now Tuesday at around 2 pm and I just got released from the Hospital, I told my Father that he should give me some Clothes that I can wear to school because I wanted to go there directly after I was allowed to leave, I didn't need my Backpack because I actually forgot it at school on Friday.

Reaching the Empty Campus -because everyone is in Class- I walk further to the Entrance and make my way to the secretary where I first picked up my backpack and then went to my Classroom where I knocked a few times before hearing a "Come on in" from inside.

I open the Door and what greeted me was a Male teacher standing at 6,4 foot (1,95m), He has Short Brown hair and Blue eyes, This was Louis Hammilton, or rather Mr. Hamilton for me, the most Friendly Teacher I know and too one of the reliable ones.

"Take your seat Aron" He says in a very friendly manner.

I walk towards my Seat which is at the Corner right side of the Room -from the teacher desk- and take my Seat, I try concentrating on the Lesson but . . .

"Hey, Aron can you do my Homework, I heard you do Jacks n' Chucks too." The one sitting next to me said with a Grin that could have been from a Devil.

"Y-You know I'd rather not?" I said unsure as he was rather muscular, but if I do his Homework too, then I wouldn't have much time for reading my Books or doing much else besides doing Homework.

"Oh that's Cute Aron, you really think that you would actually have a choice in this matter." he said starting to chuckle to himself, as if the thing he just said was one of the funniest things he had ever seen . . .
