Chapter 1:Following your gut
He tossed and turned in his bed, he felt like he was on fire, and no matter what he did he couldn't stop the pain in his chest.
In his dream he was tied to a tree in the middle of the forest, he was struggling to move and when he looked down he saw that there was a fire circling around him, heating his bare feet until the fire jumped up onto his jeans he shouted for help and he cried to be let go, the people that had tied him to the tree and set the fire simply laughed and said
" you don't get to have power like that and expect to be set free. Face your punishment witch. You'll meet your master soon"
He didn't know what to do, or why they thought he was such a monster. He didn't understand, and he was scared, terrified as the fire burned through him he let out a scream that was deafening. The fire engulfed him completely, and he woke up screaming, he didn't notice but as he woke up a yellow eyed figure evaporated from where it was standing in his room.
He sat up in bed, his heart pounding in his chest he didn't know what happened but as he looked around his room he smelled something, it was new and alien in his home, it smelled like sulphur, it was strong and it was coming from one spot in his room, his closet. He got up and went to the washroom, cleaning the sweat off his face he looked at his phone " Monday, 6:36 am 2006 " he read it with dread.
"Great, two hours until school, and its Monday...could this day get any worse?
As he dried his face he couldn't help but notice it was brief but for just a moment he swore he saw black covering his normally sea foam green eyes,
" and now I'm seeing things. This is just wonderful. "
He sighed and finished getting ready for school, he had enough time to wash his shaggy brunette hair three times and finish up the homework he hadn't finished for his psychology class. ( a 12 page essay on the workings of the human brain.)
When he had about an hour left he got a call from his friend Beth, asking for a ride and if she could borrow his chemistry text book because she had " lost" hers again, as usual he said yes and that he would be there in 15 minutes
He pulled up in his red jeep and honked his horn and Beth ran out
" thanks for picking me up Damian. "
She said with a smile.
" no problem, so you needed my chem book?"
Damian asked pointing to the book that was laying in the back seat
" yeah, I lost mine again...it's in my house..somewhere..I hope, I'll get it back to you after 6th promise, meet you in the parking lot?"
Beth asked as they pulled into the junior parking area by there school.
"Sounds good see ya "
They said their goodbyes and went to 1st period.
Through out the school day Damian couldn't help but feel as if someone was watching him, he also couldn't shake the images of fire engulfing him whenever he closed his eyes,
" mr knight!"
Damian's 5th period teacher slammed a book on his desk
" care to join in the discussion? "
The teacher glared at him, and just for a moment, a split second really Damian swore his eyes were as black as night.
"Sorry, what was the question?"
He asked
The teacher just pointed at the board
" who was responsible for the Salem witch trials "
Damian held in a snicker, really? He knew all about the trials.
" the puritans believed that a slave named tichiba was teaching the girls of her owner how to perform witchcraft and call on the dead. When the girls were stricken with a strange disease, they blamed her."
He responded with a smirk.
" very good mr knight, dont make a habit of day dreaming in my class though."
" you got it mr Kendall "
Damian responded
The bell rang signalling the classes end, Damian went to his psychology class, all they did was turn in the paper and watch a movie.
After class Damian went to his jeep and waited for Beth.
sooner or later he finally saw her.
