I washed my hands and walked out the bathroom. I walked into the kitchen and seen everyone; Mom, Dad and Morrigan laughing and chatting at the dining table. Morrigan smiled at me and motioned me to sit beside her. I sat and my dad passed the bowl of lasagna to me. I put some on my plate and my mom poured me some white grape into my glass along with Morrigans'.
There was a knock on the front door. My mom looked towards the front. My dad wiped his mouth and rose out his seat. He opened the door. Then there was a big explosion. Everything went white. I couldn't hear anything. The sound of footsteps grew louder and louder. I opened my eyes and seen a man in a suit crouch down beside me with an evil smile. I looked around and seen the house torn apart. I heard the crackles of fire surround me. Flames were everywhere under the night sky; I turned around on my stomach and crawled towards my wristbands on the counter. I heard distinct conversations behind me.
"Let me go!"
I heard the scream of Morrigan. I turned around as men in suits took her towards the front door.
"Jay!"
My hand reached towards Morrigan.
"Morrigan!" I yelled.
My hand was slapped down. I looked up towards the man in the suit.
"These look useful" the man said grabbing my wristbands.
I looked up towards Morrigan as she fought against the men in black.
The man looked at Morrigan and back at me. "Oh yeah, she's coming with us too" he said as he walked towards the door leaving me lying on the floor.
"NO!" I yelled as I woke out of my dream.
I looked around. The house wasn't in flames, it was just a nightmare. I grabbed my phone from under my pillow; 4:16. I looked to my side. Morrigan was lying fast asleep. I stroked my hand across her face.
"I'm not gonna lose you"
…
That Wednesday morning, Morrigan and I entered the doors of Washington High. We entered Mr. Kazynski's class and took our seats.
"Everyone, have a seat" Mr. Kazynski stated over the class' commotion.
…
During our morning classes, I couldn't pay attention at all. I didn't grab anything for lunch which puzzled Morrigan.
"Jay, what's wrong?" Morrigan asked at our lunch table.
I looked at her, "Nothing, why?" I asked.
"You're not eating" she replied.
"Oh".
Morrigan grabbed my left hand. "Babe, tell me. What's wrong?" she said seriously.
"I had a dream the government took you away from me" I said gripping her hand.
"I'm not going anywhere, Jay" she stroked my face with her hand as she looked me in the eyes.
"…Better not" I smirked.
…
We were now in Psychics. Mr. Carletts' lecture on velocities and slopes were putting everyone in class to sleep like a lullaby. I looked over at Morrigan. She was falling asleep herself. I looked out the window. I looked out onto the street. All I could see were black trucks and men with black suits on. I snapped out of my trance when the bell rang.
RRRIIIIINNGGG!
"Morrigan, wake up" I nudged her in her side.
"Mmmm, I fell asleep?" she asked opening her eyes.
"Nah, I just knocked you out"
Morrigan glared at me. "You wish"
"If you say so" I smirked.
…
Afterschool, Morrigan and I walked out of school and chose to hang around for a bit.
Let's see if I can find some trouble to get into
We walked down the street next to a park.
"You ready for this field trip tomorrow?" I asked Morrigan.
"Of course, doesn't quite suit my fancy but it's better than listening to his lessons" she replied.
I chuckled. "That goes for all of our teachers though"
We passed the park and I looked to my right into an alley. A guy with a long red samurai robe stood before us. Morrigan turned and put a hand on her hip.
"About time" she smirked.
"Nice to finally meet you boy"
"I'm gonna ask this now" I said. "Friend or Foe?" I asked, looking at the long sword at his side.
"Good question boy" The man said. "Mercenary"
"In that case, let me guess; Demitri paid you?" Morrigan asked crossing her arms.
"I have to say you have a smart woman beside you boy"
"Who are you?" I asked as I clicked my left wristband.
"It would be better to show you, don't you think?" The man smirked as he entered a fighting stance.
Morrigan transformed into her succubus form.
I clenched my fist as the man gripped the handle of his sword.
"Of course" I replied as my visor closed.
"Very well then" at that second, the man sprinted towards me and lunged with his sword. I blocked the swing with my forearm.
The mans' eyes grew wide. A smirk appeared behind my helmet. That instant, I swung and gave the man a right hook to the jaw. The man stumbled backwards and regained his composure. He wiped the blood off of his mouth and looked at me.
"That's actually the first time a victim made me bleed" the man remarked.
"There's more where that came from" I said extending my hand out and motioning him to come forth as I half closed my hand twice.
The man smirked. He made a second attempt at me as he sprinted again. This time he sprinted faster than I could see. I looked around and noticed I couldn't see him. Morrigan flew above observing. I stopped and stood still and closed my eyes. I focused my energy on the vibrations in the ground around me.
More…More…
I felt the man vibrations as he leaped at me from behind. I lifted a hand and the impact of his sword against my suit sent a gust of wind through the trees around us.
"That was an act of desperation don't you think?" I asked.
"The man landed back on his feet. "You dare?!"
I smirked.
The man stared at me. Then his eyes grew big for a moment and returned to normal size. The man leaped into the air. I looked at Morrigan. I sonic boomed in front of the man and just as Morrigan started to block the attack. I kicked the man in the side of his head. He went flying towards the ground. He landed neck first. There was a loud snap.
Ouch
I landed onto the ground and walked towards the man on the ground. I looked at him.
"Who…are you…boy?" The man asked between breathes.
"I'm not a boy", I remarked. "…I'm Sufuge"
I raised a hand towards the man.
"WAIT!...DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO I AM?!" the man asked, panicking.
"Nah, no need to now…you're history" I replied.
"NOO-"
My hand grew bright and let out a bright flash of light.
…
Morrigan and I returned to our regular appearances and walked out the alley as we made our way home.
"Sufuge, huh?" Morrigan smirked.
"Yup" I replied.
"I noticed you upgraded your suit" she said.
"Seen that S huh? You're right" I replied.
I looked back as we turned down the block. I saw a flash of black run past the man's body into the shadows.
I shook my head and continued on.
"I got 'em, over" a female voice stated.
"Perfect, dispose of the evidence and bring the data back to base"
"Copy, over and out" the female replied.
Heheh here we go…
