Chapter 1: 7 years ago Toon's P.O.V

Today was a day my two friends and I hated. The only thing we liked about it was the end of it. Today was August 30, the beginning of another school year. It's been seven years since that unfaithful event. An event we always grieved.

*Flashback*

It was the start of school year. Up 'til now we were homeschooled by Red's mom and Lucas' mom. Red's mom was driving the three of us to school for the first time. You'd think it be normal for three six year-olds to be going to school. But when it's three six year-olds going to class in a 5th grade classroom people get suspicious. Yeah, we've been home schooled by our parents since we were three, being able to read since the age of two. Lucas, Red and I have known each other since we were only a year old. Our parents have known each other since their days in school as well. I looked out the window of the van, clutching the necklace my parents had given me the night before. It was a silver locket with a golden crystal in the middle of it. Something felt mystifying about it when I got it, the same feeling that Red and Lucas got when they received theirs. Lucas had also gotten a locket but it had a violet crystal instead. Red had received a bracelet with a small locket that had a green crystal on it. I remember our parents exact words when they gave them to us: "Don't ever lose these; they will protect you throughout the years." Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Red smiling at me and Lucas.

"Don't worry guys, we'll be fine," Red smiled, and I nodded. However Lucas had some doubt about it.

"But Red, they'll laugh at us," Lucas responded.

"Luke, have confidence. Red is right. I'm positive we'll be okay," I smiled back. Then there was a screech at the front of the van. There seemed to be exploding sounds in front of us as well.

"Boys get out of the van right now," Mrs. Trainer yelled. Fear filled her voice. Instantly Red took off his seat beat and got ours off as well. The van was still moving at a high speed.

"But mom, we can't just jump off," Red said. Mrs. Trainer looked back sadly at her son and shook her head.

"I'm sorry Red, but you have to jump. Please, I can't explain it to you," Mrs. Trainer said, tears streaming down her face. Red sadly nodded and slid open the door. The van seemed to start slowing down, but it was still at a dangerous speed to jump.

"What about you Mrs. Trainer," Lucas asked.

"I'm sorry, but I won't be joining you," Mrs. Trainer said. I saw tears coming out of Red's eyes, but he was trying to hold them in. He looked over to me and Lucas.

"Come on, we have to," Red sadly said. He grabbed onto both our wrists, holding on tightly. Lucas and I softly nodded. "Now!"

We jumped out of the van and landed hard on the concrete. Our arms got scratched and we were bleeding all-over. Our lockets began glowing and everything went black, except for the crash we heard in the distance. People were shouting and screaming. Some voices tried talking to us before we passed out completely.

"Someone call an ambulance!"

"Get help!"

"Are they alive?"

"Yeah,"

"Someone call their parents!"

"We don't have ID's on them."

It was bright when we woke up. Strangely we awoke at the same time. All three of us were in beds and covered in bandages. Doctors and nurses surrounded us, sadness running through their eyes.

"We just want to make sure so by chance are you boys; Red Trainer, Toon 'Link' Hylia, and Lucas Chimera," One of the doctors asked. We looked nervously at each other before nodding. The doctors sighed and looked at us with their sad eyes. "I'm sorry boys, but you can't go home anymore."

"What do you mean we can't go home? What about our parents," Lucas asked.

"Well you see there were a few accidents today. The police are looking into them to find out the causes. In each crash there were no survivors and pedestrians on the sides were caught in it as well. You see your parents were involved in them as well. Two of them are in critical conditions, the rest, I'm sorry," The doctor said. Lucas burst into tears, and tears slowly slid down me and Red's faces. Our parents were the only family we knew. On top of that we were just like brothers and could practically feel each others' pain. At the age of six we already lost half of our family.

"Boys do you know anyone you can stay with? Any friends or friends of your families," He asked again.

"None that we know of. We don't have any friends 'cause we've been homeschooled for the past three years. Today was the first time we were actually going to a school," Red answered. The nurses looked shocked, as did the doctors.

"Okay, answer this. How old are you," One of the nurse said.

"You have our files on hold so you should know. That along with copies of our birth certificates, meaning you would know that we were six," I answered.

"What grade are you boys in," The nurse asked again.

"We're supposed to be in 5th grade," Lucas answered. There was a knock at the door and a nurse walked in with two people behind them. One was a kid who looked about four years older than us. He had a locket, similar to ours worn on a bracelet, with a clear crystal in the middle of it. He had navy blue hair and wore a red jacket with a blue shirt underneath and blue jeans. Next to him was most likely his father.

"Trish, who are they," The doctor asked.

"Dr. Mark, this is Gawain Greil. He is the emergency contact for each of the boys when parents cannot be contacted. And this is his son, Ike," Trish said.

"Mr. Greil, I believe you are friends with their parents then," Dr. Mark questioned.

"Yes, I am. So what happened, if I may ask," Mr. Greil requested.

"Their parents, well most of them got involved in separate car accidents and didn't quite make it. Two of their parents are in critical condition and they may not make it either. They have no one else, so is it possible for them to stay with you," Dr. Mark asked.

"It is okay with me. Are they set up in school already?"

"Yes they are. Today was actually their first day."

"What grade?"

"5th grade sir."

"Oh, so they're the kids in my class who didn't come today," Ike said. His father looked at him in pure confusion. Ike just nodded. "They really are. Ms. Erin said called them for roll but they never answered."

***

We were released into Mr. Greil's care and came home with him and Ike. From what we learned, Ike was a nice kid to be around. We stayed in the living room until Mr. Greil could 'proper living arrangements' as he solemnly put it. It was late night and the others had fallen asleep. I had to get a drink of water when I heard Mr. Greil on the phone.

"Are they really gone," Mr. Greil asked.

"Unfortunately they are. They died a few minutes ago," The guy on the other line said before hanging up.

"Those poor boys. How am I gonna break it to them," Mr. Greil muttered. I knew he was talking about us. As quiet as I could I ran back to the living room and tried to fall asleep, hoping to forget today's events.

*End Flashback*

"Hey Toony! If you don't hurry we'll miss Red's practice," Ike yelled.

"He has to have practice today of all days," Lucas asked.

"He's not too happy about it either, but his teacher said if he didn't show up again then he'd be kicked out," Ike responded. Ever since that day he's been like a missing link to our family. This day always brings back bad memories and feelings that we still can't cope with. But this time it feels peculiar. I really have a feeling something bad is gonna happen later on.

"Guys, I'll start heading over. I'll meet you guys there," Red said as he walked to the door with his equipment in his bag. We nodded, knowing that being late was probably gonna bring problems for him as well. Each of us did something afterschool and usually went to each other's practices. Red took kendo, he said so he can take his mind off things. Lucas took baseball, and Ike took fencing. I took soccer. Ike and I were waiting for Lucas at the door. Then we heard something from his room.

"SOMEONE HELP!!"

I realized that it was Lucas and pulled Ike toward the direction of the sound. We slammed open Lucas' door open and saw someone or something try dragging him out the window. I grabbed his bat. I hit the guy where it hurt and in the head. He released his grip on Lucas and roared in pain. Then he disappeared in a black mist. But before he did he said something.

"You will not escape for long. We will have your powers. It's only a matter of time, for all of you," The guy said before completely disappearing. The last thing we heard from him was his sinister laugh.

"What was that about," I asked.

"I don't know. He just attacked me when I was getting my baseball stuff," Lucas said.

"What did he mean 'all of you' and is he even human," Ike asked.

"I don't think he was human, unless humans can do just disappear into a black mist created out of nowhere," Lucas said.

"Wait, all of us? If he tried to attack Lucas then he might be after us. And if he is, then he saw Red isn't with us," I said.

"Meaning he's gonna go after Red next," Lucas responded wide-eyed.

"We have to find him," Ike responded. We quickly rushed out of the door in hope of finding him before the other guy did.

Meanwhile

Red was running down the sidewalk in hopes of getting to Kendo practice before getting in trouble. Unknown to him a black mist was forming behind him.

Okay, that's the end of chapter 1! Hope you guys like it! No complaints about Red, Lucas and Toon being smart please. I did that on purpose. Tell me what ya think about it too please!
