Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
Chapter One: Heartbreak
"Goodbye, My almost lover." I whispered my final words as they got snatched by the wind and opened my eyes.
Maximum's Final Ride.
I closed my eyes one last time squeezing them as hard as I could.
Five. Four. Three. Two. One!
I felt something slam into me with incredible force but it wasn't from the direction I expected. My left shoulder slammed into something and my temple crashed into something rock hard. I opened my eyes to see two golden eyes looking down at me.
Then it all went black.
Throbbing. Throbbing. I'm dead. I'm in heaven. No wait; heaven shouldn't be this painful. Oh my gosh! I'm in freaking hell aren't I?
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard someone talking in the background.
"Lumen (AN Lumen means light in Latin) how could you bring her here?" said a deep voice.
"How could I not? She needs help! I can read her light it's so sad, so dark. I've never seen one so depressed as her." Said another deep voice, but it was smoother, softer then the last. I decided that it should be time to let my presence be known. I opened my eyes and sat up a bit. I was in a cave on the beach lying on the sandy ground. They're where two guys in the cave with me both about six feet five inches or so. One had light golden hair the other had shiny jet black.
The one with the blonde hair was dressed in bright colors; a yellow button up shirt with the sleeves pushed up to his elbows and light blue jeans. The other with black hair was in all black, a black t-shirt, and black jeans. Their backs where turned to me. I cleared my throat and they both snapped their heads in my direction. Their faces looked identical but the blond one had gold eyes, and the dark one had black eyes, his irises where strange they looked like a drop black paint splattered onto the white of his eye instead of a perfect circle. They where both breathtakingly beautiful.
"Hello, I'm Lumen. I'm glad to see your okay." Said the Blonde he slowly walked towards me as if where some sort of animal that might freak out. Then he shot a look at the dark haired one who was hidden in the shadows his arms crossed and a scowl on his face.
"I'm Atrum. (AN Atrum means dark in Latin)" he hissed at me. I got to my feet and dusted off my pants, that's when I realized I had on a white t-shirt that was way to big for me. Despite my efforts, I blushed, but covered it with my wind blown hair.
"Maximum Ride." I hissed, glaring at Lumen. He looked somewhat shocked that I could talk, let alone sass him.
"That's no way to talk to someone who just saved your life." Atrum growled.
"I didn't want to be saved." I said matching his tone but switching my glare to him. He took a step forward and to my surprised the shadows fallowed him.
"Okay okay lets just calm down here your angry light it's blinding me." Lumen said chuckling a little. I gave him a confused look. He glanced at Atrum who have a small nod.
"Well sense you're a mutant too I don't think it will hurt to tell you." Then he snapped out his gold wings. They where beautiful and huge. They sparkled in the sunlight that was shining on him. He truly looked like an angel.
"I can read and control emotions. Its like a light that surrounds you, it changes colors according to your mood." He gave me a smug smile "And I can control light." He finished. Then, just to show off, he wiggled his fingers a little and a blinding light erupted in the cave. I shielded my eyes then he turned it off. I rolled my eyes at him, what a useless power.
"Atrum over there" he said motioning to Atrum who was still shooting daggers at me. "Can control darkness. Shadows and stuff and can see the future." He said. That shocked me a little. "That's how I caught you in time. He saw you falling."
"I'm not going to thank you. But I won't kill you." I said. Now that I looked back, I was really glad that he had caught me. I wasn't ready to die. Atrum gave a dark chuckle.
"I would like to see you try. You don't know who your messing with." He said. I rolled my eyes again; Blondie would defeat me by turning on a lamp, oh scary.
"Anyway, we are twins, incase you didn't see that before. We are both twenty. How old are you?" Lumen asked his cheeriness made me want punch that stupid, beautiful, smile off his pretty little face.
"None of your business." I growled. "Now if you are done interrogating me I'm going to go." I said walking toward the beach.
"Wait!" Lumen called after me. I didn't stop. He ran after me and walked beside me. "Your light, its such a deep purple, I've never seen someone so sad." He said quietly.
"Heartbreak will do that to you." I whispered with out thinking about it.
Alrighty!
How do you like it so far?
Should Lumen be gay?
