Chapter 2: Death and Rebirth
It was around 6:45 when Selena finished her homework. She randomly stuffed it in her poor book bag along with everything else that was in there. Dropping it by the door, she went into the kitchen and decided to maybe order a pizza or something. 'Hmm, what should I get? Sausage, or cheese? Cheese, or sausage....or maybe even a pepperoni....no, cheese, no wait, sausage... how about a veggie.........grr.......CURSES!' Okay.....while our not so loveable main character is pondering over pizza, let's take a lookie outside, shall we?
Unbeknownst to Selena, under the light of the fading Oregon sun, a darkness was coming.... And she would never be able to come back. A small ways up the street, a young boy was slowly dragging himself along. Coming from the opposite direction were Lee and Kara, randomly chatting away, holding the presents in their arms. A somewhat normal, pleasant scene. Until you looked a bit more closely at the boy's face. His eyes were hidden under the shadows, his skin almost like a vampires; porcelain white. His face stuck out, drawn edges on his thin cheeks. He slowly opened his eyes as he saw Lee and Kara enter Selena's house, her at the door with a phone in her hand. His eyes were not his own. They were golden red as a fire. An evil fire. One that would, and could, make people wince and look away, or drop to their knees begging for mercy. Both suited him just fine. He smirked a little. It was about to begin.
Selena had just finished ordering a pizza (she chose pepperoni) when Lee and Kara arrived, knocking at the door with enough force to almost break it off the hinges. Which they could do. But they didn't. But that's not the point! "Hey, guys. Come on in. Ooh, PRESENTS! YAY!" (A/n: sweatdrop) Kara grinned at her friend's excitement. "Now, now, no presents until we get birthday cake!" Ignoring Selena's muttering about not even HAVING a cake, she entered with Lee, who just sighed a little, and handed his present to Selena, who immediately perked up, squealing with excitement. "Yay! Thanks, Lee! Come on, I ordered a pizza. Let's hang out in living room until it's here." And they did just that.
Outside the boy noiselessly walked up the driveway.
From Lee, Selena got a sketchbook, a handy messenger bag, and some other art stuff. (She also glomped him. Poor Lee.) And from Kara she got a cute, yet baggy, brown colored hat with floppy cat ears on the sides (A/n: If anyone reads the online manga MegaTokyo, and they've seen what Piro wore when Erika was in the schoolgirl uniform, you'll know what I'm talking about), some CDs, and a silver necklace in the form of a phoenix. (She glomped her too. No Yuri or Yaoi in this fic!) "Thanks for the great stuff guys! Where'd you get the necklace, Kara?"
The boy was walking up the front steps.
"Oh, that? I found it at this really weird shop one day. This old woman said she thought you'd like it. Plus it was at a good price. And there were two other ones, too!" "Really? What happened to those two?" Lee brushed back some hair to reveal a silver eagle earring, and Kara held up her wrist to show a hawk. Selena fingered her necklace. "Just birds? That's kinda weird....." DING DONG. "Oy, that must be the pizza. Hang on a sec." Jumping up nimbly from her sprawled position on the couch, she jogged over to the door, and opened it. "Hey, thanks for delivering the pizza. How much do I ow- Wait! What the hell? T.K. what're you doing here? I though you were at your stupid friends house! Oh, and by the way, I expect a new Playstation!" Taking a deep breath in order to continue, she suddenly stopped, and peered at T.K's face. "Oy, T.K., you alright?" He said nothing. She began to feel a bit frightened. "T.K., what's wrong? Come on, talk! What's wrong, you sick?" He looked up at her, and opened his eyes. Selena gave a small scream when she saw their color. "My God, T.K., this isn't funny!" His head lolled to one side. "Enjoy, this night while you can, woman. It shall be your last time among the living." And with that he shambled away, almost like a zombie. She was stock still, Lee and Kara coming up and staring at her younger brothers form. Lee turned and waved his hand in front of her face. "Hey, Selena. Earth to Selena!" Kara cautiously peering up at her. "Selena, you okay? Look's like you just saw a ghost!" Selena's head shot up at that, and blinking a little, she smiled a small, fake smile at her friends. "Oh, that? Heh, that was just T.K. having a practical joke. Come on, I need to go make a phone call," she said, heading towards the kitchen. The Harris siblings glanced at each other, then followed.
'Damn, has T.K. been on drugs or something? Hmm, better call his friends house and see what's up.' She reached the telephone, punched in a number, then waited, tapping her foot impatiently. On the third try someone picked up. "Hi, Mrs. Daniels? Is T.K. there? This is Selena Wo-"The woman on the other line gave a scream. "KEEP AWAY FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!! YOUR FREAK BROTHER KILLED MY SON!!!!!!!!!!!" Sobbing, the woman yelled, "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!!! Oh, my baby, my baby boy, Oh....." Sobbing, the woman hung up the phone, holding her lifeless son in her lap, fresh blood still running down from his neck, rocking back and forth.
The phone dropped from Selena's limp hands. She sank to her knees, covering her mouth in horror. "...my.....god......" Lee rushed next to her. "Selena! What happened? Tell me! Come on!" Kara kneeled next to him and began shaking her friends shoulder. "Selena! Selena!" Selena looked up with empty eyes. "....he....killed.....him....." Then she fell to the floor, crying. "WHY? WHY WOULD HE DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS????!!!!!!!!!!! WHY????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (A/n: Dark, ne? It gets worse.)
Awhile later, Selena lay in her bed. Lee and Kara had to go home a few hours ago. She hadn't told them exactly what had happened, but they still didn't want to leave her alone. She had locked the door securely, and made sure all the windows were closed. She even kept a small knife by her table. Selena shivered. The way T.K. had acted... heck even his tone of voice had scared her. She hung onto the phoenix necklace, feeling her body heat radiate off, and, for some reason, giving her a small comfort. Listening to the wind between the trees, she drifted off into sleep. It was the last thing she would ever do.
Outside, the wind howled and moved between the leaves, causing a high, eerie sound. A dark figure crept out of the shadows and into the house. Moving up the stairs swiftly and silently. It entered Selena's room without a sound. When it saw the necklace in her hands, it gave a small hiss of displeasure, an almost noiseless sound. It fled, going back the way it came. As the clouds rolled back, a small patch of light fell upon the figure, and revealed it to be T.K. 'Damn it!' he thought. "That stupid thing won't let me touch her!' He thought for a moment. He smirked. "Then again, there ARE other ways to murder." A small fireball appeared in his hands, and he gently blew it against the house. Smiling in satisfaction as the fire spread.
A few minutes later, the whole neighborhood awakened to the sounds of fire trucks. Lee, pushing back his dark covers and rubbing the sleep from his eyes, went over to the window and looked out. His heart stood still for a moment. Then he turned around and ran out of his room and out of the house with a speed that didn't seem human, Kara soon joining him. In fact, everyone in the neighborhood raced towards the scene. What they saw then they would never forget.
The Wood house was burning. And Thomas Kevin Wood laughing, with eyes that looked like the devil himself, and sitting on the driveway of his home. CREATING the very fire that the men were desperately trying to put out. Kara stood still for a moment, then screamed and raced inside the burning building, not caring that it might be the last thing she ever did. 'I HAVE to get her out' thought Kara desperately. Lee soon joined her, ignoring the screams and yells to stop.
One minute later, a scream that would scare the Gods themselves was heard, and the house collapsed to the ground. And T.K. sitting there, laughing, until he was silenced forever by the wall that crashed into him. Quite a few people fainted. The rest looked on in horror. And that was the scene the Ralph and Lisa Wood came home to. Lisa's scream of terror was heard by the heavens themselves.
And so they passed. However, this is just the beginning of our tale. The end is yet to come.
A/n: So, how do you like it? I don't like it too much, myself. Review! Give me reviews! Give me paring ideas! Ja ne! Sorry if you guys don't like it very much. Just to let you know, T.K. was possessed. Probably a ringwraith or something.
To Jedi Padawan Tides: Thanks for reviewing! Don't know when I'll be using Scout in The DMO; maybe after the first few chapters.... See ya at school!
To Mia: Arigato! Well, the only reason I DID do the bio's so early is because I didn't want to have to do it all later.... Mesa is lazy..... Hope you like this chapter!
