Chapter 2: Enter the Masters
To say that Aaron was a normal kid would be sorely disappointed. With his purple hair with yellow streaks (yes that is his natural hair color) and his uncanny love for magic tricks, let's just say that he isn't the most popular kid in his junior/senior high school. You see Aaron lost his parents in a terrible car accident when he was only six years old and had to live with his Uncle Tobias, who at the time had a four year old son named Dexter. When you compare the two boys, the differences are transparently clear, for one thing Dexter is a complete computer whiz, so smart in fact that he skipped a few grades and is now in the same grade as Aaron. Dexter is also a non-believer in things such as magic and things that can't be proven scientifically. Even though these two cousins are somewhat at odds with each other, that doesn't mean they aren't friends.
One day at school, Dexter was being picked on at school and as usual Aaron was there to stand up for him. "Come guys, stop picking him!" Aaron yelled at the three bullies who were trying to force Dexter to give them his notes for homework. "Or what, you going to cry to your mommy? Oh right, you don't have one!" One of the bullies sneered. One thing you should know about Aaron, is to never insult him about his parents. Aaron, seething with rage went and shoved the one who made the comment to the ground, "You shouldn't have done that freak!" The leader of the bullies shouted. As he swung his fist to clobber Aaron, a large hand grabbed him by the back of his throat, lifted him into the air and slammed him into the wall. "Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing?" a deadly calm voice caused all of the bullies to freeze. "Oh shit! It's Grant!" one of the smaller bullies shouted in fear. Grant was a nineteen year old mountain of a man senior who detested all things evil, and if the fact that he was captain of the boxing team wasn't scary enough, his intimidation skills could make a grown man wet himself. "Now, here's what's going to happen, you three are going to leave my friends alone, or I will send you all home in full body casts, are we clear?" "Yes!" all three stuttered in fear. "Good, now scram!" Grant growled, the three bullies ran off so fast a cloud of dust followed behind them. "Hey Grant, thanks for the save." Aaron said, "y-y-yeah thanks." Dexter stammered as he dusted himself off. "It was nothing." Grant said, smack! "OW!" Grant suddenly clutched the back his head as he nursed a large bump. "That's what you get for being an idiot!" the guys turned around to see their other friend Anna, an eighteen year old junior, with a large tic-mark on her forehead. "What was that for?!" Grant yelled. "You know better than to use violence when dealing with bullies, what if you got suspended for it!" Anna yelled right back, as it soon turned into a shouting match between the two. "Well those two fight like a married couple." Blake said as she came out of the shadows. "W-w-w-what! We so do not act like a married couple!" Grant and Anna stammered while blushing an atomic red color. Blake was also an outcast due to her gothic clothing and attitude, but to her friends she was very special to them. Flora, Blake's older sister, who worked at the town's floral shop, soon joined in along with their other friends, Sam, the son of the local fire marshal, and Sandy, who was new to school because his family had moved from California. "So are we still going star-gazing tonight at Raven's hill?" Sam asked, "I heard there was going to be a meteor shower tonight." Sandy added. "Yeah, just need to make sure that my telescope is in working order." Dexter said, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "Well that settles it, we'll all meet tonight in time for the meteor shower." Aaron said affirmatively. "Alright!" everyone cheered, excited about what was to come.
Well what do you think so far? Please read and review.
