THE GATHERING OF THE FIRSTS

He awoke with a shake, and to his surprise, he was sweating. His dream had been one of those "weird" ones, which he had labeled mainly because it had been a scary dream. He began to wonder why he had these dreams, and to his surprise, found himself hungry. He got up and walked into the bathroom, where he looked in the mirror and touched his rough edged face, taking notice in the few scars across his face. He was noticeably built, and had no explanation for his surge of strength these past months. He suddenly started to feel as if he was going to slip into another time, or dimension. His mind skipped back to the dream he had that night. He was flying, somewhere, up high. He didn't know where he was, but he knew he was being followed. As he looked behind him, he noticed a pair of dark red eyes that pierced into him. He whipped around, as if he already knew what to do, and shot a pair of yellow balls of lightning from his hands. The yellow balls of lightning flew fast, and caught the "demon" off guard, catching him in the chest and sending him tumbling down into a stream of city lights. The demon, catching his breath fast enough to fly even faster than before, quickly caught up to him, but this time he didn't know what to do. The demon raised a ball of energy, and sent it flying at him.. and then he was back looking at himself in the mirror. He got dressed, still a little shaken, and then picked up his wallet and keys, which had fallen off his nightstand. He opened his wallet, and realized he had forgotten his own identity. His License had told him he was Alexander Kaldrone. He suddenly got the drift of who he was again, but was still puzzled by his forgetfulness. As Alexander stood up again, he noticed a shadow to his left, where his window stood. As he looked through his window, he saw a pair of dark red eyes glowering back at him. Suddenly, Alex's instincts kicked in, and he found himself running through the hallway of his house, and out the door without even bothering to close or lock it. He fumbled for his keys in his pocket, and then stopped in front of his Cadillac Escalade. The demon then appeared from the sky and jumped onto the car, crushing it almost instantly. He then opened a pair of wings, and revealed a dark red and black body suit, and folded his arms. Alex started to run down the street, his mind filled with horrer from what he'd just witnessed. Alex looked behind him, and noticed the demon was following with ease, jumping for house to house and gliding through the air. Alex stopped as he heard a dark voice that pierced him, and made him realize, in a strange way, that he wasn't to be harmed. The voice shouted for him to stop. As Alex turned around, the demon was already standing there, with his arms crossed, and wings spread in the air. The demon unfolded his arms and took his hand, placing it on Alex's shoulder. Alex felt a soothing sensation, then a painful one. Alex found himself screaming with pain. His back flared with pain, as if sharp claws were ripping at it. Then he felt his back open in two spaces below his shoulder blades. Whatever it was, it pierced straight through his white tank top. He stopped screaming, as he felt no more pain in his back, but another soothing sensation all over his body. He realized what was about to happen, and embraced himself for it, but it was too late. The piercing pain started all over again, but this time, it was all over. As he looked down, what seemed to be a black substance began to take form all over his body, forming over every crevices perfectly. The pain stopped again, and he looked at his hand, as energy formed spikes about his arms. Alex looked up in amazement, as the demon nodded, and fell to the floor. Alex looked down and noticed a wound he had not noticed before. The demon looked as if he was pleased, and said, "I have done what was needed." Alex looked puzzled, as he saw the demon start to turn into energy and disappear all together.
