(Allen's POV)
A young silver haired boy sits on the top of a skyscraper staring up towards the sky. The sun is setting behind him and just a few stars are visible. His eyes glint with tears.
"I'm just a step away.
I'm just a breath away.
All this pain is killing me."
(Lavi's POV)
A fiery redhead, with a burning secret, sits on the French window's seat staring out into the sky.
"Losing my faith today.
Falling off the edge today.
I'm slowly losing grip."
He catches a glimpse of silver on the rooftop far to the left of him and look's over.
(Allen's POV)
The young boy gets up and walks to the door leading to the staircase. He open's it and begins his decent to his floor.
"I am just a man.
Not superhuman.
I can't keep going through this."
(Lavi's POV)
The boy disappears after going through the door. Lavi gets up and walks to his room. He plops down on his bed.
"I'm not superhuman.
I can't give up this fight."
(Allen's POV)
Allen closes the door to his apartment. The house is empty. No-one is home.
"Someone save me from the hate.
This feeling so strong inside of me."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi gets up and goes into the kitchen to get a drink. HE walks in and finds a note that he missed on the counter and read's it.
'Hey idiot apprentice, I have business to attend to and won't be home for a few months organize the library, and pick up the package from the mail on Friday.' -Gramps
"It's just another war.
Just another family torn.
How long will I have to endure?"
(Allen's POV)
Allen walks into the bathroom across from his room. He opens his cabinet below the sink, and pulls out a box hidden under a towel.
"Falling form my faith today.
Just a step from the edge.
Can I survive?
Will I survive?"
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi crumples up the note and slams his fist on the counter-top. A tear slides down his cheek.
"Just another day in the world we live.
I need a hero, to save me now."
(Allen's POV)
Allen open's the box and pulls out a razor. He then stares at it, looking at his reflection staring back at him on the blade.
"I need a hero, save me now.
I need a hero, to save my life."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi grabs a kitchen knife next to the sink.
"A hero will save me, just in time.
I've got to fight today."
(Allen's POV)
Allen places the razor on his wrist.
"To live another day.
Speaking my mind today."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi places the knife on his wrist.
"My voice will be heard today.
I've got to make a stand."
(Allen's POV)
Allen drags the blade across his sensitive flesh.
"But I am just a man.
I'm not superhuman.
Let my voice be heard today."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi drags the blade across his wrist.
"It's just another war.
Just another family torn."
(Allen's POV)
A thin line of blood bubbles up and falls down his wrist and into the sink.
"My voice will be heard today.
It's just another kill."
(Lavi's POV)
A small amount of blood forms at the base of the cut and draws a line down his wrist then falls into the sink.
"The countdown begins to destroy ourselves.
I need a hero to save me now."
(Allen's POV)
Allen relishes in the pain and relief.
"I need a hero, save me now.
I need a hero to save my life."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi savors the small pain making him feel better.
"A hero will save me just in time.
I need a hero to save my life."
(Allen's POV)
The relief feels good but is to short lived. Allen takes the razor and makes another cut, this time a little further up so it will hurt more.
"I need a hero, just in time.
Save me just in time."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi moves the blade up a bit and pushes it in deeper, dragging it across his skin again.
"Save me just in time.
Who's gonna fight for what's right?"
(Allen's POV)
More blood falls into the sink as Allen cuts himself more. Again. Again. Again. And Again. Deeper and longer. The white-hot pain he is causing himself is send pleasure through his veins.
"Who's gonna help us survive?
We're in the fight of our lives."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi takes the blade and instead of dragging it across his arm pulls it downwards from his wrist to the middle of his forearm. Blood begins pouring out.
"And we're not ready to die.
Who's gonna fight for the weak?"
(Allen's POV)
Allen sink's to the floor his arm going numb from the many wounds he just inflicted, his vision swimming.
"Who's gonna make 'em believe?
I've got a hero, I've got a hero.
Living in me."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi's sight begins to blur as he falls to the ground.
"I'm going to fight for what's right.
Today I'm speaking my mind."
(Allen's POV)
Allen's head falls to the side and he glances at the work he had just done on his arm.
"And if it kills me tonight.
I will be ready to die."
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi clutches his arm dropping the knife.
"A hero's not afraid to give his life.
A hero's gonna save me just in time."
(Allen's POV)
A pool of blood forms around Allen's mutilated arm.
"I need a hero to save me now.
I need a hero, save me now."
(Lavi's POV)
A pool of blood surrounds Lavi's arm.
"I need a hero to save my life.
A hero will save me just in time."
(Allen's POV)
Allen's having an even harder time seeing now and can hear his heart beating in his head. LOUD. AND. CLEAR.
"I need a hero.
Who's gonna fight for what's right?"
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi's vision is almost gone and even more blood is pumping through the gash in his arm.
"Who's gonna help us survive?
I need a hero."
(Allen's POV)
Allen vaguely hears an ambulance siren in the distance.
"Who's gonna fight for the weak?
Who's gonna make 'em believe?"
(Lavi's POV)
Lavi vaguely hears an ambulance siren and voices in his kitchen as his vision blacks out.
"I need a hero."
(Allen's POV)
Allen hears the door break open and voices in the apartment as he blacks out.
"I need a hero."
(Both)
"A hero's gonna save me just in time."
"GET THIS BOY INTO THE AMBULANCE NOW!"
I hope everyone understands what's going on, if not I will summarize it.
As this states this is the PROLOGUE, therefore this is leading up to where the story starts.
Lavi and Allen both are having problems in their life. Through-out this story you will learn the problems and troubles each party goes through, and faces, which ultimately lands them in the situation they are in.
This part goes back and forth through Both Lavi and Allen's point of view.
I'm trying to get across to you, the readers, that they have the same thoughts. Lavi has never met Allen before, and Allen has never met Lavi. Although, unbeknownst to them, they have lived in the same city for many years never crossing each others paths.
In a sense, before they even meet, they are completing each others thoughts. And on the same day both decide to try and take their lives. They need each-other. They both need something from the other to save themselves.
Will this benefit them?
Will they meet?
Will they live?
What's going to happen?
Well, please continue to read and find out. ;)
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS MUCH WELCOMED!
