OK gang. Read on. Thanks for all the great reviews guys, keep'em coming. Oh, and you might hate me later.
He was 5' 7", with short black hair and blue eyes. He had a handsome face and looked very kind. He wore jeans and a gray long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbow. It was fall so there was a slight chilling breeze, but not enough to make one cold. He walked down the side walk beside tall buildings, he was on his way to his buddy's apparment.
He was in a hurry, walking fast, almost running. He hit a lady with his shoulder, almost knocking her down, he didn't say sorry or excuss me, he kept walking.
"JERK!" She yelled at him.
He broke into a run, he was starting to feel a little light headed, he had to get to his buddy's house in a hurry. He grabbed the railing to the stairs that lead up to the apparment building. When he got in he pressed the botton for the elevator and waited. He put his hands in his pockets and jingled the coins and keys in them. He took one hand out and started to bit his finger nails, then the elevator door opened and he stepped inside.
He knocked on the door to an apparment, and continued to bite his finger nails.
"Come on man open the door," He said to him self.
The door opened and there stood a tall guy, his hair was long and blonde. His eyes were blood shot and his nose was red. He was way under weight.
"Hey Charlie, whats up, come in." He opened the door wider.
"Hey man, I need a fix," Charlie stepped in.
"OK man, don't have a cow," He started laughing. "have a cow! a cow."
"Jeff!" Charlie exclaimed.
"OK man," He went over to the coffie table that was littered with pizza boxes and paper and a box.
Jeff pulled out a bag of joints, he handed Charlie two.
"Here ya' go Charlie, have fun,"
Charlie wasted no time, he lit on and started to smoke it.
"Thanks Jeff,"
"Jeff? Come on, I'm waiting!" An impatienct voice called from a bed room.
"Ay Charlie, Helan's sister is here, shes in the other room," Jeff raised his eye brows.
"Naw, man, I'm not messing with Clair," Charlie took a puff, Jeff reached for it and took it from Charlie. "ay man,"
"Here, I'm done, I'll see you around Charlie, my girl is waiting for me,"
"Alright Jeff,"
The next day, Charlie smoked the rest of that one joint, then got his car. He finished it while he was driving to his girlfriend's apparment. He knocked on her door, when she answered it she saw that he was high.
"Charlie, you told me you were going to quit!" She yelled.
"Don't yell!" He tryed to go through the door but she stopped him.
"Charlie, now isn't a good time, go home,"
"Why?"
"Charlie, this isn't a good time,"
"Bonnie, is everything alright?" A male voice called.
"Yeah Frank!" Bonnie yelled.
"Frank?" Charlie pushed through the door and saw his best friend standing in the door way to Bonnie's bed room. "what the hell is going on?"
"Charlie calm down," Bonnie put her hands on his shoulders.
"I said what the hell is going on, are you, cheating on me?"
"NO! Charlie, I would never cheat on you!"
"Well thats not what it looks like!"
"Charlie, its not what you think!" Frank laughed a little.
"As far as I'm concerned, you can all go to hell," Charlie walked out.
"Charlie! Wait! This is all a miss understanding!" Bonnie yelled and ran to the door as he walked out and walked down the hall.
It was dark now, his anger had taken over him completely. How could she had done this to him, after all they've been through. He got in his car a sped away, pulling out infront of someone. He ran a red light, he never saw the truck coming. The truck driver tryed to stop, but the roads were slick from the morning's rain and was skiding. The truck barreled through Charlie's car, crushing it. When it was over, Charlie was barely alive, his back was broken, and his skull was fractured.
He looked up, his vision blurry. He could see a bright light, it came down and soaked everthing it touched. Everyone around saw this light and was awed by it, they couldn't do anything but stair at it's beauty.
'Nithir, come,' Charlie heard a soft voice call to him.
His body or so he thought his body was lifted from the car. He looked down and saw him self hunched over the steering wheel. He followed the light, then he found himself standing in the light. There were little lights of all different colors all around him.
"Whats happening?" He asked.
'Nithir, you have violated our Code,'
"I'm sorry,"
'Sorry isn't good enough Nithir, the elders grow tired of you misjudgement. They want to rid of your embarresment,'
"What do you mean rid of me?"
'They have come to conclusion that death is the only way to rid of you, and your dishonrable ways,'
"But wait, I can change,"
'There is no room for second chances,'
"Everyone deserved a second chance!"
'Yes, you are right. But the elders do not think you deserve one, sence this would be your third chance and not your second,'
"Please! I don't want to die, I can change!"
'You are selfish Nithir, Unicorns are not selfish creatures, yet you are the first. You let some die because of your selfishness,'
Charlie dropped to his knees and started to weep. He had fought to forget his past, he regreted what he had done. Now she was bringing it back up again.
"I can change,"
'Pray to the gods you can, I have requested that you be given another chance. A chance to redeem yourself from you sins.'
Charlie looked up at the figure of light that stepped towards his way, the figure was shaped like a Unicorn, but it was unclear. The light was that was radiating from her was almost blinding.
'You are not forgiven, just bein given another chance. You will take your form, but with out your horn. A Star will be place on your forhead, to remind you of what you really are. Should you forget your place and duty, you will forget who and what you are and become what everyone sees you as. It was the best I could do to avoid your punishment of death.'
"Thank you,"
A the light flashed, and then everything grew dark.
Mavrick opened his eyes, he wanted to see Julie again. He missed her more than anything. He closed his eyes agian, and drifted off to sleep.
