The smoke began clearing around me and then I saw it, more like I saw what I'd become. On the ground before me laid my best friend his body ripped in two and blood pooled around my feet. His green eyes still bright but not with life this time it was by my fire...by MY lack of selfcontrol. Let me backtrack a ways to the moments that led up to this hell of events.
~~~*Summer 2016, Jun3*~~~
My name is Armin, I just finished traveling from Tokyo, Japan and finally came back home to Portland, Oregon after 3 months I was glad to be home I missed my friends. And luckily I came back before the 4th of July, I was just stepping on the max when my phone buzzed I look down to see a text from my bestie.
[ Shawn - 2:33 pm
Hey sunshine, glad you're back in town ;) Once you're settled come meet me at the arcade and we'll celebrate the RIGHT way!. ]
I smiled and shook my head softly leaving the text and checking my face in the camera, my hair was now a nice poofy curly afro my eyes still big and brown with 'kissable' lips as strange creeps have told me. My skin a nice shade of brown to myself I was beautiful to others welll who cares about their opinion!. I looked out the window of the max as it began speeding up now leaving the airport with a sigh I stretched my back popping a bit suddenly the entire comes a harsh stop. Everyone including myself is flown forward harshly a few bodies hitting one another and some hitting the bars, I flew right into the tall set of bars right below the stairs and suddenly darkness.
Nothing shear darkness, until my eyes begin to open everything is blurry for a moment until I realize I'm standing but not on the max rather in a void. Nothing was there just me and a thin layer of fog I kept looking around there wasn't even a sound of wind just nothing.
"Well well, looks like a stray finally wandered into my realm...and such a pretty one too~", The voice seemed to echo inside my head it sounded watery and hoarse and shaky like a dying cat's wail. I turned but there was no one there, then the voice chimed again this time much louder and harsher,
"Don't be scared little one you're simply in limbo and I won't hurt you I proomise, heh heh do you want to go back?", I stopped looking around after the question was asked and held myself tightly my whole body shaking. I nodded but went to respond only to find that I couldn't speak I could mouth what I wanted to say but nothing came out.
"My dear child, dead people have no more to share unlesss you allow me to help you. All you need to do is grab the the flame before you child and all will well".
The voice while still watery sounded much less hoarse and calmer now, suddenly a small blue fire formed in front of me it burned so bright it lit up the void in blue. I gulped hesitation apparent but I knew I didn't want to die just yet, I grabbed the flame and it snaked up my left arm rapidly. If I could scream it would've sounded like bloody murder as the flames grew I closed my eyes. Only this time I could hear my name being called softly over and over, my eyes once again slowly opening. This time I could feel my heart beating I could FEEL that I was alive, upon my vision clearing I could see I was in the hospital.
I groaned loudly a sharp pain shooting up my left arm I looked down to see a bright purple cast around it.
"ARMIN!, OH THANK GOD YOU'RE AWAKE!!!", I turned to see Shawn sitting beside my bed his bright green eyes watering. I stared at him for a moment taking in his features he had rosey cheeks with a patch of freckles on each with long brown hair to his mid back. His slim but also well sculpted and fair peach skin some called "snow-white". I merely smiled at him as he began to wipe his eyes quickly before leaning in to hug me tightly.
"How long was I out? Feels like I've been asleep for 6 months!",
"It's been a week!, you didn't wake up when they found you but your arm was broken and burned strangely. But I'm just glad you're awake!".
I looked down at my arm, ((so it wasn't a dream...but now what?, What happens next?)) I thought a faint shiver running down my spine. I closed my eyes tightly as a single warm tear fell down my cheek as soon as it formed it was wiped away causing me to jump a bit.
"Hey...you'll be ok! You've got you're totally rad cool bestie with ya!", Shawn smoothed his hair back with a big grin on his face.
I rolled my eyes and playfully shoves him back as another person entered the room, it was a nurse who seemed eager to not be here.
"Armin Smith, we have some paperwork for you to fill out before you go home",
"Thank you." I nod taking the papers as the nurse stood by my bed checking the monitor on the vitals machine and making note of them. I went through initialing where she marked, then something began to change. Everything suddenly grew blurry and slowly turning silent, my body shaking again. I looked down to see a bloody cut up hand covering mine.
End Chapter 1!!.
