There was a boy. This boy had everything. He had a good family with lots of money, a big house, great friends, a fantastic girlfriend, pretty much anything anyone could ask for, he had. But one day that all changed, he got off the bus with his friends with plans to hang out after school to see a massive pillar of smoke coming from the direction of his home. He was worried because he knew his mother was cooking a lovely dinner because today was a special occasion, his 15th birthday. As he got closer to home he started to get worried because the smoke was coming from his street. When he finally reached his street he looked down it and all his friends gasped in horror… it was his house that was on fire. The firemen were working furiously to put out the blaze, but he knew, there was no saving the property. His life as the boy with everything was over. He had nothing, the only hope he had was the hope that his parents made it out. As he got closer to what would be considered more a pile of ashes than a house, he started to get more and more scared and terrified. He did not see his mother and father in the crowd of onlookers. As he searched one of the police officers on scene met his eyes. The officer made his way over and the look in his eyes said it all, the boy's eyes welled up with tears before the officer even got to the boy. The officer stood in front of the boy and asked, "Excuse me, are you John Davidson?" John just nodded in reply with tears streaming down his face. He said "Hello John, my name is Daniel. Why don't you come over here and take a seat?" The boy just nodded not having the strength to form words. John followed Officer Daniel over to the curb and sat down. As the officer tried to figure out what to say to the young teen, the tears started to spill down John's cheeks in torrents. Officer Daniel crouched in front of John and as he did so he grimaced, having done this before in his 25 years on the force, but he forced to keep his face clear. He put his hand on the boy's shoulder and spoke "Son, you already know what I am going to say don't you?" John looked up from having his head between his knees and said with a voice thick with pain and something else Daniel couldn't place. "Yes sir, my parents are dead." "I'm all alone now" His voice cracked as he said the last four words. "John, you aren't alone you still have all of your friends and some other family." Daniel replied quickly knowing that these thoughts could quickly lead to depression. As John glanced up at Daniel, he realized what the other emotion in the boys eyes was, pure rage. John said in a voice that would make even a prison convict shiver in fear "No, my friends will never understand. And I have no other family, my parents were all I had." The boy wiped his cheeks of the tears and his eyes and face hardened. He abruptly stood up, startling the police officer just a tad, and spoke in a quiet voice "So where will I go now?" Daniel stood up slowly as he replied "Well I'm not sure exactly but we will find a place, but until then you can stay at…" He pauses not knowing what to say, "Hmm… I'll have to ask the deputy" By now the fire had been subdued and the firemen were beginning to disperse and heading back to the station. Daniel places his hand on the boys shoulder and leads him towards his car and has him get into the front seat. They then drive to the police station. Once there Daniel goes and asks the deputy what to do with John. He comes out of his office and calls john over. He then says "John, we have two options for you. Number one: you can go and stay at the local orphanage or two: you can come stay at my house for a little while whatdya say?" John looks and him thoughtfully for a few minutes and finally replies "I think I'll come and stay with you if that's ok" He forces a small smile so he looks at least a little happy with the arrangements. Daniel smiles at him and replies "fantastic! Do you want to go now or are you ok to stay for a little while?" "Let's go now please"
"Well this is your room. What do you think?" says Daniel cautiously. John looks around the room, at the queen sized bed, at the blank walls waiting to be filled with posters. He whispers with a slightly broken voice, "It's just like my old room." Daniel smiles and says "Well I'll let you get settled in." As he leaves the boy walks over to the bed and sets his backpack down on the bed and lets go of all of the emotions he has been holding in since the fire. He can't believe that his family is dead and he will never see them again. As he sobs, he tries to see some sort of bright side to all of this but he cannot see one. After approximately an hour of crying his heart out his tears slowly come to a stop. You've cried enough. You need to stop. He wipes his eyes and slowly gets to his feet. He looks at himself in the mirror, I look horrible, but I have nothing to change into, he looks at the door and starts toward it. Once there he takes one more look at himself and watches as his red eyes harden once more into the familiar I'm ready for anything look he always has. He then opens the door and heads down the stairs to find Daniel so he can ask what he should do about clothes. He couldn't find him anywhere inside the house so he went outside and he heard a clanging noise coming from the garage. He followed it and he found Daniel hammering a slab of metal. He stepped inside the garage and yelled over the noise to get his attention. Daniel put down the hammer and waited for John to say what he needed to say. "Hey Dan, what should I do about clothes. I mean I don't have any." Daniel thought about it for a second and said "We can go to the store in an hour or so I have to finish this up first" "There's an Xbox in the living room if you want to play that or you can hook up those speakers over there in ur room and play music" John was surprised that the old cop had an Xbox, but he thought it's a possibility that he had a son or maybe a daughter. He replied happily "Thanks Dan I'll take the speakers" he waved and grabbed the speakers and ran up to his room to set them up. He got them set up and he plugged in his phone and put his music on shuffle. Just Lose It by Eminem came on and he smiled, the speaker quality was incredible. He looked around the room and decided to see what was in the closet. He went over and opened up the walk- in closet and gasped. It was full of guns. Assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, and even some crossbows. He couldn't believe that there were so many guns. The entire closet was filled from floor to ceiling with them. His eyes bulged when he noticed the RPG leaning up against the back wall. "Hey John you ready to g…. oh crap, I forgot about those." Daniel stood awkwardly in the doorway scratching his neck. John looked at him stunned and said "Why do you have so many guns in my closet?" Daniel hesitated for just long enough for John to notice before replying "Because I'm a police officer and they're cool" John decided he would let the small lie pass for now but he intended to find out why there were so many of them in the closet. He smiled and said "that is so awesome I really want to shoot them but," he chuckled slightly "you know I can't I'm not old enough" Daniel agreed with a small grunt and a nod. He said "ok well I'm done with my little project, you want to go the store now?" John nodded and walked out of the room. As soon as he was gone Daniel sighed with relief because the teen had almost found out his little secret. He then went into the closet and pressed a small button underneath the shelf in the closet and quickly stepped out. The closet rumbled and then slid upward into the attic and another closet, exactly like the previous only empty, rose up under it. Then he turned and followed the teen out to his car.
Hmm I wonder if the price matters on anything he buys me? John thought. He tore his eyes away from the badass jacket he had been staring at for the past five minutes. It was black with a gray-silver skull with green and red fire in its eye sockets design on the back. He turned to Daniel and tapped his shoulder "Hey, I want this but it has a pretty high price tag. So uhh… I was asking you if I could." Daniel didn't even glance at the price as he took it and tossed it into the cart. Wow! That was awesome, he didn't even look. Looks like he doesn't care. He smiled to himself and continued browsing.
Once they had finished getting clothes and were walking towards the checkout, they passed the jewelry section. Normally John wouldn't even glance over at it, but he had a strange tugging sensation in his gut and a strange urge to run towards the stand. Against his will it seemed, he legs started moving in the direction of the section with all the jewelry. As he approached, an elderly woman looked up from the counter to smile at him. He froze in shock; the woman's eyes were made of pure fire. Then she blinked and her eyes were normal and plain old brown. She looked at him in confusion and said, "Something wrong dear?" He shook his head and, coming out of his shock, the tugging was back in his gut. He let it take him to a cabinet full of rings and bracelets. He looked in, rather confused, until he saw a pure black skull ring sitting in the dead center of the display. The ring was completely black except for its eyes; they looked like they were made of fire. Just like the ladies eyes he thought. He glanced at the woman and she was staring directly at him. He gave her s strange look and she just smiled cheerily at him. He turned around a little confused but his eyes were again drawn to the strange ring. Daniel saw him standing there and made his way through the crowd to him. "What are you doing over here kiddo?" John pointed at the ring and said, "Well I had this weird feeling in my gut and I came over here. Then I saw that ring and now I can't take my eyes off of it," Daniel paled, although John didn't see it, and said, "Well we can ask the clerk how much it is if you want." John's jaw dropped and he almost gave himself whiplash from looking at Daniel so fast. Daniel chuckled and fake punched him in the jaw. "Close your mouth dork." He called the elderly woman at the counter, who had been staring this entire time, over. When she was close she asked, "Can I help you sir?" "Yeah you can, how much is that ring right there?" "Which ring?" "The solid, black skull ring right there." Her eyes widened in shock and she glanced at John in surprise. She asked incredulously, "The boy found this himself?" Daniel's eyes narrowed slightly and he pushed John behind him just a bit. "Yes why do you ask?" She composed her face into a kind smile and said, "Oh no reason, just that that ring has only been on that shelf for about 20 minutes." John could tell she was lying, but he let it slide, he really wanted that ring. John said, "So how much would the ring be exactly?" Both Daniel and the old woman jumped slightly as if they had forgotten he was there. Her eyes flashed and she said in a slightly irritated voice, "Well for you, it'll be 35 dollars." Daniel glanced at John and saw that he really wanted the ring and gave her the money and grabbed the ring. He pushed John away from the woman, keeping himself in between her and John. He rushed his way through the checkout as fast as he could, muttering to himself the entire time. When they were done with checking out he almost sprinted to the car. He tossed all the clothes in the backseat and drove home.
