Hi guys! This is the first chapter to my new story Fight Fire With Fire. And Maybe Some Water. Yes, this is xCloakedxSchemerx. My other account got hacked, and the person changed the freaking password! So… Yeah. This is my new account! :D Yay! Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
The echo inside of my head grew louder, telling me to find my power. Honestly, I had no idea what the heck that echo was talking about. But then I felt my stomach twist in a not, my hands tingling. I stared at my hand in awe as the single droplets floated above my cold palm. My breathing came uneasy, and the world began to blur. All I remember is the green glow of his eyes, running towards my unconscious body.
I sat at the dinning room table with my mom and dad, something we rarely ever do. Apparently, there is something important to be told. I really could care less about whatever they are going to tell me right now… I don't really ever care about what they say…
Before I go into too much detail, my name is Demyx Cascade. I am seventeen years old and I live in Hallow Bastion. I'm really not that popular at school… I get picked on a lot. I'm the only person who plays the sitar and the guitar in band. I'm pretty different, if I say so myself.
My life was never really, 'normal'. Who's life is normal? Both of my parents work crazy hours, which means I see them all of three times a week, at max. At a young age I learned how to provide for myself, making me different than the other kids. Sometimes I just wish I was like everyone else. The model parents, the average popularity. The charming good looks.
But you know, I'm different! And there is nothing wrong with being different.
So anyways, I was sitting at the dinning room table, waiting for what my parents are going to say. They are taking a freaking long time to think things out and start the conversation…
"Demyx," my mother finally said. "We're sending you away to Twilight Town to live with your Aunt Tifa. We don't want you living in a poor environment where you don't have parent figures in your life." I rolled back what I just heard. So basically my parents are kicking me out? But not kicking me out… They are kicking me out for a good reason!
"But Mom, you just can't send me away! Don't I have any say in this?" I said with a bit of annoyance. "I mean, Twilight Town is far away! And you are my parents for goodness sake!"
"Demyx, it's for your own good. And you have your cousin Axel. He'll show you around, help you make friends!"
I groaned. Cousin Axel. Oh cousin Axel! That freaking pyro almost set my hair on fire! Axel is a human fireball. Enough said. "But Mom! This is unfair!"
"Life is unfair!" My mother snapped at me. "You are going and that is final, mister!" I fell silent. I simply nodded. "Good. You leave in two days, and I suggest you started packing now."
I sighed and got up from the table. I trudged upstairs into my room. The walls were painted a light blue, the carpet a bright white. I flopped on my blue sheets face first, groaning into a pillow.
I sat up and took a deep breath. I looked at each of the four walls, examining the old band posters of bands I used to like. Then I saw the pictures of old friends and family. The friends I used to have, and the family that went forgotten.
I stood up from my bed and walked over to my closet. I pulled out my blue, shocker, suitcase. I went into my dresser and pulled out all of my clothes, minus two outfits that I was going to wear. Astonishingly, the medium sized suitcase fit all of my clothes and toiletries. I think that's enough packing for one day… I really do not like doing physical labor…
I flopped back on my bed and looked at the clock. Almost six o'clock. Dinner is usually at six thirty when my parents are home. If not, I make dinner myself around that time.
I went downstairs. My mother and father were in their office. I sighed and went into the family room. I turned my Wii on and I played Guitar Hero for a while. I played online, so people from different places were playing with me.
I selected expert and bass. I could play bass or guitar, I just felt… Bass-y… Yeah! My word I created… Anyways, I picked the song I'm Not Okay (I Promise) by My Chemical Romance. The other song the other player picked was Psychosocial by Slipknot. I'm amazing at both songs…
At the end, I beat the other person by having a higher note accuracy, and a cooler looking avatar. I guess being able to actually play the guitar pays off!
I turned my Wii off and walked into the kitchen. I opened up the fridge, pulling out left-over mac-and-cheese from last night. I threw it into the microwave, setting the timer to one minute. I grabbed a can of Coke from the fridge and sat down at the table, waiting the thirty seconds.
The microwave ding, bell, ringer, alarm-WHATEVER IT IS, rang. I opened up the microwave, carefully pulling out the hot container. I help onto the sides to long and my fingers started to burn. My skin is super sensitive to heat. Like, I need to be in shade 24/7 or I'll burn, all of the time. I threw the container on the table and rubbed my hands.
My parents emerged from their office, blue tooth's in their ears. "Demyx, we will be back late. There is an emergency business meeting, and we need to go." I simply nodded and they were off.
I ate my mac-and-cheese in the simple silence that I heard all the time. I was alone again. Big shock there.
