Chapter One: My Hero Is You

A young boy, seeming to be around the age of five, paced in the hallways of his godparents' home, as he heard the silent breathing of his ill godsister.

Suddenly, the windows in the living room broke. There was a crying.

The boy ran into the living room as he saw his ill 3 year old godsister crying. The covers were over her head.

The boy looked up to see a strange boy, a bit taller and older than him. He seemed to be about the age of nine, and he had long silver hair. He wore gothic clothing.

"The sword..." a voice said, "Get the sword!"

The nine year old boy didn't notice, but the younger one did. He followed the voice to see a teenager, holding a sword. He was wearing his pajamas, and he had a sword stretched out to him with both hands. He seemed to be struggling.

The boy grabbed the sword from the teen, and pointed the blade at the intruder. "Leave my godsister alone!"

"Fine! I'll let you go this time!" the older boy said, "But a curse will be laid upon your godsister! She will have an illness known as chancerius in my world, and she will have to fight her way to survival!"

And with that, the boy disappeared, just as the parents rushed into the house with the police.

The boy dropped the sword, which disappeared into thin air.

Then, he finally heard his godsister's crying and coughing. He gasped.

"Inez!" he cried, and went to her aid.

"No!"

14 year old Matthew Williams awoke from a reoccuring nightmare, just as his alarm clock went off. He maybe homeschooled ever since a war between America and France broke through and all schools were closed, but he still had to get up early.

You know I try to be
All that I can
But there's a part of me
I still don't understand

As Matt hit the snooze button and turned the clock off, a coughing girl walked into the room, still in her pajamas.

"Matt?" the girl asked, "Are you awake?"

"Inez, you shouldn't be out of bed!" Matt cried, "You're sick!"

Why do I only see
What I don't have
When my reality
Its things are not that bad

"Matt, I'm 12. And I've known you for three years." 12 year old Ineza Garcia said to her godbrother, "And, during the three years that I knew you, you never cared about my health! And you constantly teased me!"

"Hey, now I know I'm your godbrother and I have a right to take care of you." Matt said, leading his godsister back to her room, "Now, I have to see of your mom's doing okay. Same with my mom."

Your faith has shown me that

"C'mon, mamma doesn't mind working hard." Inez said.

"Well, then, I'll just check if my dad came home yet." Matt said.

"Hey! I wanna see, too!" Inez cried.

"Then get dressed!" Matt called, as he closed his room door and got changed.

He didn't wear the clothes he used to wear when he was 11. Now, he wore white and black denim jackets, black long sleeved t-shirts, blue denim jeans, and black and white runners.

But he still had his scruffy auburn red hair, and he still had his sparkling blue eyes. And, if school was in session, he would still be in the popular crowd.

Matt rushed out of his room and rushed downstairs. Inez shortly followed.

Inez also changed her style from since she was 9. She wore a white long sleeved shirt with a star on the front, a purple vest, a blue skirt, white stockings, and black loafers.

"Morning, mamma." Inez greeted her mother, "Is pappi home yet?"

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah

"No, not yet." Inez's mother, Abrienda Garcia replied, "Not until the war is over."

"Why can't the French just surrender?" Matt asked, "They know we're gonna win. Why not just stop before they loose for sure?

"Matt, honey, don't push it." Matt's mother, Barbara Williams said, "Remember what your father said about the war before leaving."

"Fine." Matt frowned, as Inez plopped into a seat on the counter table beside her godbrother.

Now when I start doubting and
You helped me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh, believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you

"Ineza, you used to think Matt was your hero when you were three." Abrienda smiled, "We had no idea why, but one night, we came home, and you said to me that Matt was your hero. And the same day, the windows were broken. Probably stopped the intruder, that's why."

Matt's senses perked up when he heard, "And the same day, the windows were broken. Probably stopped the intruder, that's why."

"Intruders?" Matt asked.

"Oh, right, Matt doesn't remember either." Barbara exclaimed, "Abby, show Matt Inez's school project from Preschool!"

"Mamma, no!" Inez cried, "Not my Preschool work!"

I never saw the way
You sacrificed
Who knew the price you paid
How can I make it right
I know I've gotta try

"He has a right to know!" Abrienda said, "After all, he was called down to the classroom to watch the presentation. Ah, here we go!"

Abrienda pulled out an artwork picture frame. In the middle of the fake jewelled, construction paper picture frame, was a photo portrait of Matt when he was only 5 years old. He looked sheepish, and he was wearing a black turtleneck. The background was a sky.

But what really caught Matt's attention, was what was written on the picture frame in kiddy letters. Probably because it was written when Inez was only 3: My hero is... my godbrother, Matt.

"You... made this?" Matt asked.

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah

Inez sighed. "Made it a long while ago but, yeah, I made it. With mamma's help of course. I didn't know how to spell back then that much.

"Back then, we were on welfare." Barbara explained to her son, "The only shelter we had before the farm was here. The Garcia's Household. That's when you were introduced to your godparents and Inez. It was so cute when you two first met. Inez took one look at you and then she hugged you. Of course, you hugged her back."

Barbara sighed at the memory, as Matt continued to study the project. He flipped it over and saw a computer written text.

"Oh, that was Inez's speech." Abrienda smiled at her daughter, "Why don't you read it out loud, Ineza?"

Inez took the project from her godbrother, cleared her throat, and began to read the speech that was written 9 years ago: "My hero is my godbrother, Matthew Williams. But, I like to call him Matt. We all do. Mamma, pappi, Godmother Barbara, and Godfather Phillip. The reason he is my hero, is because I trust him, and he's always there for me. Wherever I am. Last night, an intruder came into my house, and he stood by me, and protected me. After the intruder left, and the police arrived, Matt would tell me everything is alright. He would tell me he will never leave my side. He maybe gone someday, but he'll never truly leave me. For he is in my heart, where everybody else I love is. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here today..."

Now when I start doubting and
You helped me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh, believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you

Inez looked up from her speech and looked at Matt, who was equally confused.

"Matt saved your life, Ineza." Abrienda explained, "He forced the doctors to remove the tumor that was on your heart. When the doctors disagreed, he rushed into the operation room where you were sleeping, and prayed that the tumor will go away. And then, magically, it did. The roots and the tumor itself disappeared, and there was no need for a transplant. When you woke up, you instantly knew it was him that made the tumor go away." - Abrienda giggled at a memory - "Oh, you were so adorable. There I was with your pappi, wondering if you will survive or not, and then, you rush out of the operation room, tugging on my skirt, yelling for everyone to hear, 'Mamma! Mamma! Matt made the tumor go away! He made it disappear!'" - Abrienda sighed - "That was one miracle that I would never forget. Then and there, the family considered him as a Miracle Maker. Everytime Matt was around you, a miracle would happen. You're right, Ineza. Matt truly did save your life. If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't be here today."

And I hope that you can see
You're everything that I wanna be, ooh

Matt smiled, as Inez finally let out a sob. Then, she hugged Matt tightly.

"Promise me you won't leave me, Matt!" Inez sobbed, "Promise! Make the tumor go away like you did before!"

Matt held back his own tears. With the war going on, Inez's returning heart tumor, and Matt's own dark secret, it will be hard to keep this promise. But he just replied in a cracked voice, "Don't worry. I will."

When my world goes crazy
You won't let go
When the ground gets shaky
You give me hope
When I try to push you away
You never move, yeah

What the two didn't know, was that there was another war that was going to happen. In a different world. And there, the two will need each other and their friends, old and new, the most.

Now when I start doubting and
You helped me see
There's a strength, and a mind, and a power in me
Oh, believe me there ain't nothing I can't do
My hero is you, yeah
My hero is you

My hero is you...
