"Hey! Get away from here you loner!" A woman about the age of 30 stood there in her doorway, yelling at a teen with a cloak on their head. She grabbed an empty beer bottle and threw it at the child, hitting them square on. The glass cut the cloak in pieces and some got into the kid's skin.
"Mam! Don't throw bottles at kids!" A police officer regarded the poor kid on the street as he talked to her smoothly. He was about the age of 20 years old with blue eyes and yellow hair. He wore his official police suit as he patrolled the streets and homes of New York. He had so many reports of devil children coming from abandoned streets and homes.
"They need to leave our city and be banished for life! They're devil children! Ask him! Ask him, officer! See what evil magik they do! I saw it with my eyes two eyes!" The possibly drunken woman yelled into the air.
"They're not devil children! They're just having problems with their nanites waking up and stuff. Don't you see that kid, who can control his nanites and attack with them? The one that is with Providence? What was his name…? I can't seem to get it right…." The young adult thought, before he looked out of the corner of his left eye to see the child try and make a break for it. He whipped out and cuffed the child to the woman's metal fence.
"Rex" The child said to the man.
The woman and man stared at the child. "Who?"
"The kid with Providence. His name is Rex." The kid replied, looking down to the ground.
"Oh, thanks, kid. Anyway, mam, this kid isn't a devil child and will never be until his or her nanites awaken. I don't it will be anytime soon, but I could be wrong. So, don't throw empty beer bottles at them! I'm going to give you a ticket for now, but if it happens again, you'll be in court." He told the woman, who went back inside before glaring at the child, and uncuffed the child from the fence and led them to his police car.
The child was really quiet for some odd reason on the way to the orphanage where all the other homeless kids went.
"So, what's your name? Tyler? Kevin? Bob? Ricky?" The man guessed many boy names, thinking that the child was indeed a male.
The child stayed quiet before replying, "Rain. Rain is my name. But, people call me Sparky sometimes since I love standing in the rain and when the lightening and thundering starts." The kid looked out the window before seeing a large thing, well it was surely invisible but the kid could make it out since the lines were moving against the buildings.
"Sparky? Odd nickname but my name is Officer Marcus Frieda. Call me Marcus if you want but Mr. Frieda is better. Anyway, what were you doing on Mrs. Calico's lawn?" Mr. Marcus asked the child, stopping to avoid getting his own ticket for going past a red light.
"I was reading the signs for a thunderstorm. Her house is mostly filled with metal equipment and the outside of it is covered with a lot of metallic things. Her house is the best place for thunderstorms, so I was waiting for it." Sparky replied.
"You can actually tell when a thunderstorm is coming? I see why Mrs. Calico called you devil child now. But you shouldn't be near her house during the storm; you could get hit by lightening." Mr. Marcus sternly told the child, driving near the tunnel when something dripped onto the hood of his car. It was a nasty blue color that was like goop. "What the heck is this stuff?"
The child's eyes opened fully as he turned his head over and grabbed the young adult's arm. "Don't go outside."
"Why? I can't see with the goop on my car and my window wipers are stuck! I have to go outside and wipe the best I can off." Marcus replied, looking at the child to only see the cloak. He raised his other arm, that wasn't held down by the child, "I can't take this cloak so I'm taking it off to see your face."
The child flinched as Mr. Marcus took off their cloak to reveal electrifying blue eyes and electrifying blue short spikey hair. There was a large cut from her left eye down to her jaw.
"Woah…. Did you dye your hair to be an electrifying blue color? Also, your eyes are the color as well." Marcus asked, suddenly in tranced by her eyes. Every time he looked at them, it seemed to spark to life.
"I didn't die it. It's my natural hair color as well as my eyes." The kid replied, misusing the word 'dye' and the word 'die'.
"No, I mean dye as in change it into different hair color. Anyway, the word is dye not die. Why can't I get out of the car, Sparky?" Mr. Marcus questioned the child.
"Because there's an Evo above the tunnel's entrance, waiting for a chance to eat us." The kid said, grasping tighter against Mr. Marcus's hand.
"How can you tell? I don't see it…." Mr. Marcus informed the little child.
"I can sense it like I can sense that it is going to rain in 4 minutes. As soon as the goop is washed off, put the car in reverse and drive away from the tunnel." The kid answered, crawling into the back seat of the police car.
"What are you doing back there? Get back up here!" Mr. Marcus replied before seeing that the kid was indeed a female since Sparky's cloak rose up as she moved and he saw that Sparky was indeed wearing female clothing.
"Getting a better seat away from the windows."
Just then, 4 minutes went by fast and it did start to rain in fact as Sparky foretold.
The goop didn't wash away, but only started to steam and melt the windows a little by little until something caught Marcus's eyes and he grabbed his receiver and reported in to his station.
Yeah…. Shortie chapter! I'm sorry! I was so bored! D: So tell me if any mistakes are in there, I know I must have left some knowing me. Anyway, rate and message!
