Tada~! Here is the first chapter of my newest creation! ^^ I really like where this is going but I still want to hear what you guys think. This isn't the first one I've written but it is the first one I deemed good enough to show you guys ^^ if I get enough reviews I'll upload the next chapter, which is already finished… Btw, sorry for the short chapters but I think it fits with the story, and I have this annoying habit of never finishing anything I start so I thought that it would help me keep this story ^^
Anyway, enjoy! :D
PS: It's un-betad and I'm not planning on finding a beta…. So don't ask either, thought I think I did a pretty good job
A life changing rainbow
Did you ever notice a rainbow is always bent downwards? Of course, some people may say that there are also rainbows bent upwards but that's very rare to see. Mostly they are bent downwards. So actually it's like a sad face.
Then, did you notice that there are always two rainbows. Maybe it's a reflection of the same rainbow or just the playing of light, but still, it may be just an illusion, but there are still two.
So beautiful, so much colors. Most people just say: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple. But there are so much different shades in between. And before you can actually enjoy the rainbow and witness its beauty, it's gone. And then it would leave the world shining brighter, you'll see so much more colors. It's like every object is shining, everything is so bright and it almost hurts your eyes, almost.
Some people think rainbows are something magic. Maybe it's true? Maybe there really is some kind of little guy in green clothes with a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and maybe there are unicorns living on the colorful bow. We'll never know, it's nice to think things like that really do exist. It's a beautiful thing, fantasies and fairy tales. But maybe, just maybe, they are true.
And that's where our story begins.
It was raining outside. You could hear the silence patter of the thick drops against the window. It was a rhythmic ticking, like music played by nature. Puddles of the rain where on the ground outside and everyone was inside their houses, watching a movie or doing other fun things together with their loved ones.
They where oblivious to the world, nothing was wrong in their world, everything was fine, everything was at peace. They did not notice a small, white haired boy looking out of his window in the orphanage he stayed in.
As mentioned before, he was small for his age. His white hair was abnormal, no one has that shade of hair, but still no one noticed him. Maybe because of his size, or maybe because no one cared, who knows.
He was currently watching the rain outside. He was in his room alone. No one wanted to be near him so he had the room to himself. He watched as the rain pattered against the asphalt of the streets. There were some birds flying in the air but the most were also looking for shelter to wait until the rain would stop.
The boy was seventeen years old. That's why he was called short, most kids his age where much taller then him. The wind blew in his face, blowing away his snow white hair in the process so you could see his face. There was a star shaped scare above his left eye; a thin line went from the star over his eye and stopped somewhere on his cheek. His hair and scare where one of the reasons everyone avoided him. They were scared, maybe he was cursed and maybe he was mad and would attack them. But the truth was, he just wanted to be left alone; he wouldn't hurt a fly if he could avoid it.
But the major reason they stayed away was because of something else. The boy was currently wearing a black short slaved tee-shirt. There was some kind of band written on it but the boy didn't care much at the moment. Because his arms were exposed at the moment you could see that his left arm was black and his right was perfectly normal. This is why people despised him the most. The flesh of his left arm was also normal, only the color was different.
It was so silence at the moment. The rain had almost stopped, you could only hear a few stubborn drops fall from the sky, a faint tapping on the pavement. The boy was the only one looking outside, so he was the only one witnessing the beautiful sight before him.
A beautiful rainbow was forming in the air, a beautiful playing of colors and lightning. It took the boy's breath away. So many colors where playing before his eyes so much joy, but the boy couldn't help but feel sad somehow. He didn't know where the feeling came from, it just came.
After watching the rainbow for a while he dropped his gaze a little. It felt like he'd been watching for an hour or maybe two? He wasn't sure but it had only been five minutes, the rainbow was already starting to disappear.
He was watching a small forest a little further from the orphanage. He watched how the trees where weeping in the wind and how the light of the rainbow made the trees shine. Then he blinked.
He rubbed his eyes then blinked again. After just staring at the forest he closed his mouth when he noticed it was open. He shook his head and stood up. Was this for real?
"Wow." The boy whispered to himself. This wasn't possible. Or was it? He was seeing it with his own eyes, right? There really was a forest. The only problem here was, there isn't supposed to be a forest there. There is supposed to be another road with cars riding on it, more building with people living in it. But instead of seeing those things he was looking at a forest.
The rainbow was already half gone, the boy noticed. He had a feeling he had to be quick. The forest shouldn't be too far away from him. Quickly he slipped out of the band tee and put on a simple orange one. He grabbed some blue shorts and put them on and slipped in his yellow flip-flops. Last he grabbed his favorite black hoody and some gloves to hide his hands before he ran out of the building toward the forest.
The rainbow had almost disappeared, he had to be quick. He almost stopped running when he came to the door. Why? Why was he in such a hurry? What would he miss if he wouldn't be faster? He didn't know. He had the feeling he wouldn't come back here. He was fine with that.
No one cared about him, not even the people in the orphan. He sighed when he opened the door. He wouldn't bring anything with him, not even clothes. It's not like he owned much anyway. He would just leave with the things he had with him now, the clothes he wore.
When he stood before the building he glanced one last time at it. He mumbled an apology to the ones who took care of him. Even thought they despised him, they still gave him food and paid for school and clothes. He thanked them, even thought they would never hear his thanks.
He didn't know why he was so sure he would never come back, but somehow…. Somehow he just knew.
After running what felt like aged the boy finally reached the forest. Should he really do it? Should he really leave everything behind? Everything he knew, he would never see it again. He shook his head furiously. What was he thinking, of course he would see it again, he would just have to turn around when he got tiered and walk back. He'd probably get hell for leaving without telling, but he could handle it.
Sighing he turned around. He looked up at the sky, there was only a faint glow of the rainbow left. The colors where already fading away, everything seemed dull and dark once again. He couldn't help but think he would never see this ever again, he would leave everything behind. Everyone would be glad he left, they'd all be happy, even he would be happy because he wouldn't have to see the looks on their faces anymore. No disgusted looks anymore and no names he would be called. Only peace and silence….
A smile grazed his lips as he entered the forest. No one saw how the tree closed behind him like a big wooden door, nor did he notice. All the way, while he walked a sincere smile was plastered on his face. Whatever happens let it happen. I'm ready. He thought.
So , what do you think? ^^
