Not Alone

Chapter 1

Hey everyone I'm back :) Well I re-read this and I thought I could of made it so much better than it was. So now I'm re-writing Not Alone and since it was the most read story I have I'm sure you'll all be happy with improvments im making. If you've read the other version then don't worry this wont be a copy and paste and change spellings and grammer kind of re-write. Even though the main plot will be the same it will be told in a different way with different events happening. I hope you like it and well lets get started :)

Judai's pov

I stared out the window to the dull weather that was common in Britain, or so I've heard. I watched as the fields passed by as we drove down the never ending motorway. We had been on the road for about 3 hours now and it was at least another 50 minutes until we reached my brother's house. I was starting to resent my mother for having the bright idea to live with Haou for a while until we found our own place. I know we had to get away from the US but it wasn't exactly my ideal place to come. I mean it's England! Dull weather and nothing fun to do at all. Exiting the motorway my mother pulled into the services and parked the car. "I'm going to the toilet and then grabbing something to eat from McDonalds. Are you coming or shall I bring you back something."

"I'll stay here but could you get me large fries and coke." Nodding she shut the door and I quickly turned the radio on. As the song played I closed my jet lagged eyes and started to drift off into my own little world. I was soon brought back to reality by the loud thud of a car door shutting next to me. I looked to my left to see a car pulling out the space. Catching a glimpse of my eyes in the rear-view mirror I sighed noticing my eyes had changed colour once again. They'd been doing it a lot lately but mostly when I wake up. The one on the left had turned to a bright vibrant orange whilst the other was a soulless emerald. I clasped my hands together and held my eyes shut as I tried to channel the energy in my body. Taking a deep breathe I sighed as I exhaled letting gold particles fly out my mouth. I laughed as they started to dance inside the car, I knew that they weren't actually dancing as they were just pure energy but it brought a smile to my face thinking it. I pressed the automatic window switch and the gold particles rushed out and flew to the sky, I popped my head out to watch them rise into the heavens. "Judai could you open the door for me please?"

"Yeah hold on." Taking one last look at the golden energy I looked in the mirror to make sure my eyes had turned back to the milky brown that they usually were and reached over to the driver's side of the car and opened the car door.

"Here hold these please." She passed me the McDonalds and I placed the food down on the floor whilst holding the drinks on my lap. Removing the straw from its paper packaging I popped it in my drink and bent my neck towards my lap so I could drink without having to move. I jutted forward a little as the car started and we pulled out the services and onto a roundabout. Looking out the window I saw a sign saying 'Lowerstoft 15miles'. I sighed knowing it would only be about 20 minutes before we arrived at my brother's house. It wasn't long before we drove past the 'welcome to Lowerstoft' sign so I looked out the window to see kids rushing out from the high school. It looked like one of those modern colleges you get with high-tech computers and advanced science departments. It was a Friday morning so I'd have all weekend to myself before mom sent me off packing to a random school were I know absolutely nobody.

"I'm thinking of sending you there for school. Haou sent me a link to their website when I told him we'd be moving in and it looks pretty good. You'll be starting on Monday so we can go shopping for all your things this weekend. I'm sure Haou or his wife knows where we can go."

"Sure sounds good to me." I replied not wanting to start an argument over not wanting to start school. I continued to watch the kids and noticed a group of them that had congregated at the front gates. They all seemed to be about my age so I tried to get a quick look at would could have been my new classmates but my mom drove away before I could get a close look. Five minutes later we were pulling up in the driveway and the car stopped in front of a fairly modern house. It was on a relatively new housing estate and all the houses were detached. Stepping out the car I slipped a little on the snow that had been freshly laid the night before. Holding the side of the car I made my way to the boot and opened it grabbing my suitcase, placing it down on the floor before grabbing my moms. The other bags weren't as important so they could stay in the car for a while.

"Mom it's been ages how are you doing?" I turned my head to see my brother stood at the door with his arms open. When we were kids everyone used to say we looked like twins besides our hair and eyes. I think the major difference was his golden eyes but the way things were going with my right now I'm sure I've had weirder coloured eyes at some points.

"Hey Haou I'm glad you're happy to see us. Thank you so much for letting us stay here for the next month or two."

"Honestly I've said it a billion times; you can stay as long as you want."

"You've changed so much since you've been in England. What happened to my evil teenage son?" I laughed at that comment as that described him perfectly.

"He grew up mom. Anyways you head inside and sit down. My wife will be back shortly with Steven. I'll help Judai with the bags." Oh that's right. Haou had a kid now as well. While he gets the perfect life I'm stuck with this one. Great this is fantastic. Haou walked over to me grabbing my bag.

"So what's the real reason you and mom decided to move to England. Mom wasn't very convincing with her change of scenery speech." Shit that's right; mom thought it would be best if we didn't tell him the real reason. We were putting them in enough danger as it is.

"Actually that is the reason. It was just so boring in the US and we just thought it would be great to move." I knew he didn't believe me, he knew me better than that to know when I'm lying. When people used to say we looked like twins that was a bit of an understatement. We were and still are like the same person. With all the crazy stuff happening lately I wouldn't be surprised if we were the same person.

"Are you going to stand there dawdling or are you going to get a move on?" Grabbing my suitcase I shut the car boot and headed into the house. Closing the front door behind me I stared in awe at the modern designed house. On the right side there was a long white while that ran as far as up to the floating glass stairs. To my left were an opened planned kitchen, living room and dining room. On the wall directly in front of me were a TV and a small coffee table that was placed on a dark purple rug. Surrounding the coffee table were three settees, two being a two sitter and the other a three. Then a little further to the left was the kitchen which had a glass dining table in the middle as well as an island.

"Judai could you take your suitcase upstairs? Your room is the second one on the right." Nodding I did as Haou said and trekked upstairs struggling to carry my suitcase. Once there I found the room I was in and a shocked expression hit my face. It was completely bare. Apart from a bed and a few cupboards the room was practically empty. Frowning I dumped my suitcase on my bed and headed downstairs to find my brother.

"How could you afford all this? I don't think our house back home is as nice as this."

"My job pays well mom. That and Annie is a doctor at the hospital." I walked in on mom and Haou talking when I heard the front door open. Popping my head around the corner I saw a brown haired woman carrying a baby in a baby carrier. Deciding to be the good Samaritan I took the baby carrier from her while she carried the shopping bags through to the kitchen.

"Thanks you must be Judai, I'm Annie." She said whilst shifting the bags from her right hand and hooked them on her left arm while holding out her hand. I shook it after putting the baby carrier down on the kitchen's island. Remembering about my empty room I decided to ask Annie since she lives here too.

"So Annie I've just been upstairs and my room is completely empty. What's the deal with that?"

"Don't worry about that Hun. I and Haou decided it would be nice for you to design your own room and have it how you want. Either one of us will take you out later on tonight after tea. It'll probably be me as your mother and brother seem to be catching up."

"That sounds great thanks; I'll head upstairs and start unpacking." Turning I walked back through the living room and then up the stairs. Falling down on my bed that had been placed at the far side of the room next to the window I forgot about unpacking and checked my phone to see if I had any messages. Of course I didn't have any because my mom replaced my phone with a new one in case they could be traced. I had no way of contacting my friends back home. Sighing I put my phone back in my pocket and got to unpacking.

About an hour later I heard my mother shouting from the bottom of the stairs. Apparently tea was ready so finishing up with my unpacking I ventured downstairs and into the kitchen. Everyone except Annie was sat around the circular shaped glass dining table with plates in front of them. "It's Chinese for tonight. Salt and pepper chicken, I hope you don't mind."

"No not at all." I said whilst taking a plate from were Annie was stood and sat down next to Haou. One mouthful of the delicious food was enough to make me feel like I'm in heaven. I don't know what it was about food but I just loved it so much. I could literally eat for days without any sign of stopping.

"Haou hunny I was wondering who would be taking Judai out shopping for his new furniture. It needs to be done tonight so he can rearrange it over the weekend ready for when he starts school."

"Could you do it please? I have something I need to do for work tonight. I'll go out with him tomorrow for his school books and other stuff." I didn't pay too much attention to the conversation that started whilst Annie had sat down to eat her tea.

Loud screams echoed from the room that was on the other side of the metal caged door. The only light that could pierce the darkness was the light that shone through the small window in the large door. I looked down to see myself holding a little girl with violet eyes and black hair. She looked around the age of 10 and was shaking out of pure fear. I shot my head upwards when the door was flung open and a limp body was thrown in like waste. The girl was thrown against the wall and slid down onto the floor. It was like all her energy had been drained. I looked back at the doorway to see a man in a white lab coat stood there looking at me and the girl with glares. "Get the girl ready for test number 19. The boy shall be subjected on a later date."

With that he walked away and another man came in and grabbed the girl. I tried to fight back and defend her but he threw me against the same wall as the limp body. The small black haired girl screamed as she was carried off into the test room.

My eyes shot open as I screamed in my bed. I was drenched in my own sweat and my mattress was damp. I slowed down my breathing until it was normal again and looked around. I decided I wanted my walls to be red when we went out. So I matched the furniture with it. I kept the bed in the same place but placed a TV at the end that was on a stand that held DVDs and CDs. Where the door was instead of red paint I placed a wall length mirror.

I've been having these nightmares for over a month now, well I say nightmares the more accurate term is flashbacks or memories. Not wanting to go back to sleep I got up and pulled on some joggers and a shirt. I walked downstairs and slid open the patio door that led into the garden. I shivered slightly remembering we're now in England not the US and the fact it was the start of December meant it was soon to be Christmas. A orange glow caught my eye so I turned to see my mother sat down shivering next to the fire holding her knees up to her chest. "Mom what are you doing out here at this time?"

She looked up at me and faked a weak smile. She moved up on the garden bench and I sat down next to her and sat close for body warmth. "I'm sorry Judai; I just can't sleep properly knowing you're in danger every day."

The fire started to dim a little and we lost a little heat. It was getting colder by the minute and I certainly didn't want to freeze out here. I held my hand out and shut my eyes. Blue sparks came from my palm and a small funnel of fire raced out and hit the wood resulting in combustion."This is exactly what I'm afraid of Judai. What if people find out about this and we have to move. I know I'm supposed to be the adult here but I can't in with this. It's just all too much."

"Don't worry mom we'll get through it together. If you want I won't go to school, that way there isn't a chance of anyone finding out."

"No Judai I don't want you skipping out on your education. I don't want you to end up working at McDonalds like other teenagers." I giggled slightly but my mom had a serious glare on her face.

"Fine mom I'll go to school, make friends, get good grades and get married. Maybe you want to plan my wedding too?" I received a well-deserved slap around the back of my head and I held it mouthing out curse words.

"Just because your all powerful doesn't mean you can get away with sarcastic comments like that. You might be able to set fire to wood Judai Yuki but you cannot talk to me like that. Now go back upstairs and go to bed." I trudged up the stairs in pain as my mother put out the fire and came inside as well. Climbing back into bed I soon remembered it was damp with sweat so I moaned and neglected the fact to sleep and turned on the TV. Luckily Jeremy Kyle was on so instead of sleep I could laugh at that. I sighed remembering I had to start school in two days. Maybe it won't be that bad, maybe I could find someone I can trust with this. Someone who could handle me being a freak and not run away like most people probably would. Maybe, just maybe.

Unknown pov

Cracking my knuckles I screamed as a burst of lightning struck down from the sky. Pain, sorrow, loss, loneliness. This is everything is laid upon me when he left us there. All alone, very alone. If I have to be alone forever so does he, I'll destroy everything he's ever known. Kill everyone he loves. I'm not going to be alone any longer, Judai Yuki this is the beginning of the end. You must die and with that total darkness will consume your soul making me more powerful. I will live again, even if that means your death.
