Chapter 10: Visions, Secrets & Decisions

Darkness.

Darkness is the fragment of our imagination. It is around us, it is inside us but most of all darkness is our twilight.

Darkness is the opposite of light, the yin to our yang. It what keeps us from losing balance and falling into despair.

Light and dark, good and evil, water and fire, heaven and earth. That is called life for one cannot be the same without the other. But if the darkness overcomes the light then our world will perish and everyone in it will disappear.

Darkness. It is all he can see as he try to figure out where he's at. Randy blink his sapphire blue eyes as he look around his surrounding. Just where the juice is he? If he remember correctly, he was sleeping in his room, dreaming about his crush, and for some reason everything disappear and he was here.

But why he's here? Why can't he see but darkness? What is going on? Randy stood up and walked around to see if he can find an exit, but found nothing. He sigh in frustration. Just what the juice is going on here? He grip his head, trying to figure a way out of here before a terrifying roar was heard. Randy gasps, looking around to find the source of that roar. He put his hand down and jump when he hear two more roars. What the juice was that?

Suddenly, footsteps was heard throughout the darkness, and it sound like it is coming towards him. Randy gulp in fear but right when he about to run, six pair of glowing white eyes, stand before him. He stood still, trembling in fear as the unknown creatures stare him down before revealing their fangs.

Randy couldn't move, like something is holding him, he was glue to the floor. Fear had gripped his heart in a tight squeeze and there was nothing he can do. The creatures chuckle as red, purple and blue flame-like hair, revealing three demons he saw on the book cover. He already know what the black one look like but the others are different. They look the same as the black demon but in different color.

One had yellow skin, orange fur on its chest to its belly, yellow tail, orange circle with inner light orange circle on its hips, orange dots under its eyes. It had orange marks above its eyes, orange and light orange tip ears, wings with light yellow and dark yellow markings and carmine red eyes with dark red slits.

Another had green skin, magenta fur on its chest to its belly, green tail, magenta circle with inner dark magenta circle on its hips, magenta dots under its eyes. It had magenta marks above its eyes, magenta and dark magenta tip ears, wings with light green and dark green markings and violet eyes with dark purple slits.

Randy shook and trembled before them as the demons laugh, like they can smell his fear. The black demon crept close to Randy and smirk before speaking "are you scared?" He said in a deep voice. Randy nod, too afraid to open his mouth "you should be." The demon lean back and grins "because your blood is ours pathetic mortal." The demons launch at him as Randy scream before closing his eyes.

Before they can kill him, a bright light blinded the room making the demons turn around in shock and disbelief. Randy open his eyes and squinted them as he look through the light to see a female figure. He gasp as the demons roars before running towards the figure as she open her eyes. Suddenly, the demons disappear and the room change into something beautiful. It took an appearance of space with stars twinkling in the sky "whoa." He said, turning his head to see the figure walking towards him.

The figure's body is cover in space, full of stars, astral like hair and long tail. The only thing that is not covered in stars is her eyes, which glow silvery blue and sparkling with happiness. Randy stare at her in awe as she stop in front of him, smiling softly.

They stare at each other before she lean down to his face, Randy gasps making her giggle at his expression "who are you?" The figure said nothing, just smiling at him. She place her hands on his cheek and lean forward before placing a kiss on his forehead. Suddenly, the same light engulfs them as he hear a voice "I love you, Randy. Take care my grandson."

Randy woke up and gasp, sitting up in shock. He pants, trying to calm down and figure out what he just saw in his dream. Was that a vision? Who was that women? And why did she save him from those demons? He sigh "I gotta stop drinking slushy before bed." Randy stretch before climbing down the ladder, as he climb down, he took a glance at the book on his desk. He can't put his finger on it but every time he look at it, or think about the book, he just had this weird feeling, like it was calling out to him.

Randy shook his head before going downstairs to get some breakfast. As he got to the kitchen, he saw his mother cooking "hey Mom."

"Hi sweetie. Did you slept well?" Mrs. Cunningham said, putting the food on the plate "I made egg and bacon. Hungry?" Randy nod as his mother put the plate on the table "well dig in sweetheart." He sat down in the chair, thanking his mother for the food and begin to eat.

Mrs. Cunningham chuckles before eating her food. As they ate their food, Randy couldn't help but stare at his mother. Should he ask her about his grandmother? Or should he just wait until he's ready? He sigh "you okay, Randy?" He blink and look at his mother, who had a concern look on her face.

"Yeah I'm fine, Mom?" Randy drink his orange juice. His mother don't believe him but let it slide, besides he will tell her if something is bothering him. She went back to eating, as Randy stole a glance before looking away. Yep he will tell her when he's ready.

Randy is in his room, still wearing his pajamas, a book on his lap and a growing feeling inside his stomach. What was that dream about? Why did it feel so real? And why did he have it? So many questions, so little time, as his mother would say. He put his hand on the cover, swallow his saliva and began to open it.

Ring-ring

"Aahh." Randy scream before grabbing his phone off his desk. After he calm down his heart, he answer the call "hello?"

"Hey Cunningham." Randy blink.

"Howard?! Why are you calling me?" He can hear Howard rolling his eyes.

"I called because I want to know if you're okay."

"Yeah I'm okay." Randy stare at the book.

"Good...so do you want to go to the game hole?" Randy tap his finger on the book, still staring at it before answering.

"Sure I meet you there."

"Yes later Cunningham." Both hang up before Randy stands up and stretch. Once he heard a satisfied crack from his back, he sigh. He pick up the book and put it on his table. Should he tell Howard about the dream he had? He shook his head. Nope not yet, he'll tell him when he figure this out. After he came to an agreement, Randy starts to get ready to meet Howard.

"Come on...I almost there." Suddenly the character died, resulting a game over "no I almost beat my high score." Howard pout, making Randy laugh.

"Don't worry, Howard. You'll get it next time." Randy said, as he and Howard walk out the arcade.

"I know but I was so close." Howard frowns. Randy roll his eyes "I mean all I have to do was..." Randy zone out from Howard's complaints, thinking back to his dream. That women, something about her feels familiar. The way she spoke, the way she smile, it's like she know him. Before he could go deeper, an aroma of waterfall, hit his nose. Randy sniff the air, trying to find the source of that smell, before taking a deep breath and sigh "and then I've had won." Howard said, before realizing that his friend wasn't listening.

"Cunningham are you ignoring me?" Howard turn his head to see Randy smirking, with a love struck look on his face. He raise an eyebrow "Cunningham? Are you okay?" He snap his fingers in Randy's face, trying to figure out why he's acting this way. He pull back his hand, frowning in confusion, before following his friend's eyes and see someone walking towards the restaurant. That someone was Azazel, whistling and having a pleased look on his face.

Howard smirk before yelling thus, knocking Randy out of his trance "Hey Draken." Azazel stop by the door, raise an eyebrow, and turn his head "over here." Randy shush Howard but was too late, seeing Azazel smiling at them. He wave at him, nervously before being dragged by his best friend.

"Howard let go of me."

"No way, Cunningham."

"But I don't want to talk to - hi Azazel." Randy smile at Azazel, who smile back.

"Hello Randy and hello Howard." Howard nod "do you guys want to eat with me?"

"Heck yeah." Howard said while Randy nod. Azazel grins before opening the door and walking inside; with Howard and Randy. Once they found a seat, they sat down with Azazel sitting next to Randy and Howard sitting across from them "so Draken...where's your bros?"

"Home, doing some important stuff." Azazel answered, truthfully.

"And that will be what exactly?"

"Trying to see if people can detect supernatural." Randy and Howard stare at him before Azazel laugh "I'm just messing with ya. We just making a potion."

"For what?" Randy asks. Azazel grins, showing his fangs. Randy blink his eyes, as he stare at his teeth. Did he always had fangs? If he did, then why he didn't see them? "Are those real?"

"What real?"

"Those fangs?"

"Whoa what?! Let me see." Howard lean in to see Azazel's fangs. It's close to the front but behind the lateral incisor "that is so Bruce. Why didn't I see them before?" Azazel lick his fangs before speaking.

"Because you never pay attention to them and also I kept them hidden."

"Do Malphas and Jinn have them too?" Howard's eyes widen in awe.

"Yeah they do and just like me, they keep them hidden." As Azazel and Howard talk, Randy couldn't help but feel a tingling feeling in his stomach. And it was just after he saw his fangs when he started getting these feelings. He gulp down his saliva and stare at the fangs. Oh the things he'll do just to feel those fangs on his neck, to be claim by Azazel as he bite down to mark him as his lover, proving to everyone that he belong to him and him alone.

"Dude! You okay?" Randy was brought back to reality, shaking his head and stare at his friends who are looking at him in concern. "You've been quiet for a long time."

"Um...well you see...um"

"Do you three want anything to eat." Randy turn his head to see a waitress, smiling at them.

"Yes three hamburgers and fries please."

"And three sodas." The waitress wrote it down and nod before walking away. Randy blink his eyes, turning to look at Azazel.

"So how are you?" Howard facepalm himself, as Azazel raise an eyebrow.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. It just I didn't know you have fangs." Azazel laugh. He lean close to Randy's face and smirk.

"Why you think I'm attracted? You want to kiss me and feel my fangs?" Randy blush, pushing Azazel away from him. Howard smirk, crossing his arms and wiggling his brows. Randy glare but before he said anything, their food came and was place on the table.

"Three hamburgers with fries and three sodas. Enjoy boys." The boys wave as the waitress walk away from their table. Randy grab the bottle of ketchup and open it before pouring it on his fries. He put it down and ate his fries, as Azazel took the ketchup and put it on his fries before eating them. Randy continue to glare at his friend, who just chuckle.

"Not funny, Howard." Howard raise an eyebrow and smirk.

"Yes it was Cunningham." He took a bite from his burger, ignoring Randy's hot glare. Azazel snicker, eating his food. He don't know what came over him but he just happen to like seeing him angry. The way his delicate lips pull into a straight line and the way his beautiful blue eyes darken. Azazel smile, glancing at Randy from the corner of his eye.

Every time Randy show his emotions, his eyes just change. When he's happy, they sparkle, when he's scared, they become dim a little or when he's angry, they darken just a tiny bit. He wonder what happen when he's in a mood. Azazel grins, biting into his burger. That one mystery he'll going to find out when the time comes to claim him as his mate. He snicker again, causing Randy to glare at him "what's so funny?"

"Oh nothing. Just thinking how funny you look." Azazel high-five Howard, as Randy scoffed at them before going back to eating. It was then he realize that his crush and his friend are total shoobs.

After finishing their food and paying them, the boys are walking down the street, while Randy still in a sour mood "so Draken there's a competition at the Lasertoriom and winner gets a prize."

"Cool. So when it start?"

"This Saturday and it's going to be great." Azazel smirk.

"But I thought you two wonk at laser tag." Howard frowns.

"Don't push it, Draken. So you coming or not?" Azazel laugh before answering.

"Yeah I'm coming and I'll tell my brothers about it, just in case they want to come as well." Howard grins, nodding in approval. Randy continue to glare, with full of hate. These two are the worst shoobs ever and knowing Howard, he'll never going to let this down and who wouldn't. He just got tease in front of him and his face blushing red, which he swear was the most embarrassing moment for him. Randy mumble under his breath, whatever these shoobs can laugh about an apocalypse for all he care.

As they continue walking, Randy spot something twinkling from the corner of his eye. He stop walking, turn his head and gasp silently. In front of him is a jewelry store with different type of jewelry by the window, but what caught his eyes is the ring, sitting on the red pedestal. Its a silver ring with a gemstone in the middle, which sparkle beautifully by the sunlight. The gemstone is very pale pink, with facet and glisten against the sun. If he remember correctly, his mother once told him that these gemstones are Rose Quartz and they symbolize love and peace. He also remember his mother telling him that they have healing powers.

Randy stare at the ring, being drawn to it, as he walk to the window to get a closer look. Once he got close, he put his hand on the window "I see you got taste, kid." Randy turn his head to see a women, smiling. She had black, wavy hair and ruby red eyes. She wear a blue crop top, showing her midriff, black jeans and gray slipper-like shoes "do you wanna come inside?" Randy blink his eyes, looking past the lady to see his friends long gone before turning back to the lady. He nod, making the lady smile "well come in." Randy walk inside the store and stare at awe. Who knew that there are so many jewelry in one store especially if it had wonderful gemstones.

"So you like this ring, right?" Randy snap his head, watching the lady pick up the ring and showing it to him "I mean I saw you stare at it for like...a long time." She giggles when she saw Randy blush.

"I'm sorry." He apologize. The lady wave it off.

"Don't be young man and besides." She went to Randy and reach out her hand "call me Delia." Randy smile before shaking her hand.

"Randy and nice to meet you." Delia giggles before letting go of his hand "so tell me Delia...do you own this store?"

"Yep and I've been working here since I first moved to Norrisville." Delia walk to the counter, still holding the ring "and I love it ever since that day."

"That's nice." Randy follow her as she grab something from the shelves "by the way Delia."

"Hmm?"

"Do you ever had a feeling that maybe...you feel connected to the ring you're wearing?" Delia turn around and smile, putting the ring on the counter. She rub her finger over the ring on her middle finger, just like the one on the counter before speaking.

"Everyday. It's also because it was from my people." Randy raise an eyebrow.

"Really?! Like your ancestors?"

"You can say that." Delia pick up the ring and kiss it before handing it to Randy "here take it, Randy."

"Oh no I can't." He shook his head "I mean I don't have the money and-"

"Just take it." Randy stare at the ring for a few seconds before taking it. Delia smile "now you don't have to pay me and it's free of charge." Randy nod, staring at the ring. Something about this jewelry make him feel so peaceful and calm, like nothing can get him angry. The anger he had before just vanish into thin air and not only that but he felt a powerful aura coming from the ring. He ran his finger over the gemstone, captivated by the gem before hearing a door opening.

"There you are, Cunningham." Randy turn his head to see Howard walking inside "we were looking for you." Randy quickly put the ring in his pants pocket "why you here anyway?" Howard stood in front of him, who shrug his shoulder.

"I saw something that caught my attention and you know...look around a bit." Howard raise an eyebrow, crossing his arms. Randy smile nervously, hoping he buy it before he sigh.

"Whatever, Cunningham. Draken is outside, waiting for us so let's go." Randy nod, following him "by the way, were you alone?"

"No I was talking to Delia."

"Who's Delia?"

"Oh she's right there." Randy turn around to see Delia gone "she was standing right there."

"Sure she was, Cunningham." Howard smirk "come on let's go." Randy sigh and follow his friend before turning his head to see Delia, leaning against the shelves. And if he didn't know any better, he could've sworn that he saw her eyes glow silvery blue before closing the door.

"So tell me why were you inside the jewelry store?" Randy shrug at Azazel's question, while Howard roll his eyes.

"Something caught his eyes and he decided to check it out." Azazel raise an eyebrow.

"What was it?"

"It was nothing important. Just a silly trinket." Randy wave it off, like it was no big deal. Azazel stare at him in suspicion but before he open his mouth, Howard had beat it to him.

"Maybe you went in there to find a ring, so when Draken here." He pointed at Azazel "buy you one, you'll be very happy. Or you want him to propose to you in the future."

"What!?" Azazel snorted as Howard laugh. Randy's face is bright red in embarrassment and anger. What the juice? What make his best friend say that and especially in front of his crush. And what's more embarrassing is that Azazel is laughing at him.

Randy growl silently in anger, as they continue to laugh "come on, Randy. Don't be mad." Azazel chuckle, while unbeknownst of them, Randy's eyes is starting to glow silvery blue. He panted in furious anger before screaming.

"SHUT UP." Both boys shut their mouth, staring at him in bewilderment. They had never seen him this angry before and to yell at them like that, well, that was very surprising "none of this is funny, and neither what happen back at the restaurant. So what I went inside that store, it doesn't give you the right to laugh at me."

"Whoa Cunningham, calm down. We were just playing around-"

"Shut your mouth." Randy glare at Howard, who back away from him. Azazel frown in slight anger.

"Now listen here, Randy." He flinch when Randy glare at him "it was a little joke. No need to get angry."

"Joke my ass." A faint gasp escape from Howard's mouth. He had never heard his friend swear and if he did, that only happen if he was really mad, which was very rare for him. He sneak a glance at Azazel, who had the most 'what the fuck' expression. If they weren't in this situation, he'll totally laugh his butt off, but he is afraid if he laugh then Randy will kick his butt. So not worth it.

"Cunningham-"

"I said shut up. And I mean both of you." Randy spoke with so much venom, they afraid that he will spit out acid "you think everything is a joke, that laughing at someone is funny. Well guess what, it's not funny and you can take that, and shove it so far up your-" suddenly, a painful headache struck Randy hard, making him clutch his head in pain "argh...aaahh."

"Randy/Cunningham." Azazel and Howard ran towards to him, as he cried out in pain.

"Randy tell me what's hurting you." Randy shook his head, falling down on his knees. Tears is streaming down his face, as unknown vision appears in his head. It was showing an image of a lady with white hair, holding a toddler in her arms. She was singing a lullaby, levitating then an image of humanoid creatures, flying around in the ocean. He grit his teeth as another image shows him these weird symbols before showing him a tomb. Randy shook his head, trying to clear those images before one final image appears.

The image show him a bright light, sphere of orbs flying around a figure. Stone statues are glowing, sending a pale blue ray of light to the figure. The figure is wearing a black and red outfit that look similar to his ninja suit but it has wings on his back. The figure open its eyes, showing its sapphire blue eyes. Randy gasp his last breath before falling unconscious, as his friends call out his name.

A faint sound of humming was heard, as an image of the lady with long, white hair and hazel eyes smile at him. She giggles "aww you're so adorable, Randy." She cooed, holding little Randy in her arms. Suddenly, a frown appears on her pretty face "Randy...if your mother ever found out...about your powers and what I'll do." She fell silent before speaking "she'll never understand...I have to take you or your powers will go berserk and everyone in Norrisville will be in danger." She bit her lips, turning her head to him "that's why I had to take you to my people, Randy. You'll do amazing things like how to transform or how to fly or swim underwater and-" a sound of a door opening and closing was heard throughout the house.

"Randall? Where are you?"

"I'm with Grandma Noah, Mommy." Noah gasp with fear plastered on her face.

"Randy, no." A sound of footsteps approach the door before his mother appears with a scared expression.

"Mom what are you doing?"

"I'm taking him, Rochelle. I'm taking him to my kingdom and there's nothing that you or Carlos can do about it." Noah hold Randy closer to her.

"Put him down, Mom." Noah shook her head.

"You don't understand...he need me to help him with his powers."

"JUST PUT HIM DOWN, MOM."

"NEVER." Everything became blur. First his grandmother and mother was having a staring contest then the next he's sitting next to his grandmother, who is holding him and glaring at her daughter "step away daughter or I will struck you down. I swear to Mizuchi, I will not hesitate on using my powers in self-defense."

"Then put him down."

"Please Noah put our son down." A man with short black, wavy hair and sapphire blue eyes. He's wearing a brown long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes "I know he had the spark like you and your people but he just a kid."

"You don't understand either, Carlos. Randy's powers are more powerful than mines and if he falls in the wrong hand, everything and everyone on this planet will die."

"You don't know that." Rochelle glare at her mom. Noah growls while keeping her arm stretch out before her.

"Yes I do and more than you. Rochelle...you don't have the spark or any magic inside of you but Randy do. It is growing too fast and if I don't stabilize it then he will lose control and his sanity."

"I don't want to hear any of your nonsense. Just put him down and leave my house."

"Bite me."

"Rochelle what if she's telling the truth?" Carlos stare at his wife "I mean what if he start to lose control?"

"It's not gonna happen."

"Yes it will." Noah stood up and frown "his powers will go out of control at any time. It can happen while you're gone or at school or anywhere, Rochelle." She stole a glance at Randy, who is hiding behind her leg "Randy might still be a kid." She look back her daughter and son-in-law "but he can hurt anyone if he doesn't know how to control his powers." His mother frown at Noah. She move aside and points at the door.

"Just get out. Please Mom, just leave." Noah sigh, putting her arm down before turning to Randy. She bend her knees and smile.

"You be a good boy, Randy. Grandma love you." She kiss his forehead, stood up and left the room while her grandson call out.

"Grandma don't leave." Randy ran after her before his mother pick him up. He cried out to her with tears streaming down his face "grandma Noah come back, come back." Noah close the door right when he scream her name "GRANDMA NOAH."

Randy woke up and sits up. He grab his head in slight pain before hearing someone's voice "how you doing, Randy?" He turn his head to see his parents, smiling at him.

"Mom, Dad?!" Randy look down to see himself under the blanket and lying on his couch "how did I-"

"Your friends brought you here." His mom smile.

"Howard and Azazel brought me here?"

"Yep but I think Azazel like you more than a friend, seeing how he look at you." His dad smirk at his son's red face "it just a theory." Mrs. Cunningham roll her eyes before looking at her son.

"Randy what happen to you? Your friends try to explain but they don't even know what happen."

Randy shrug his shoulder "I don't know. It all happen to fast, first I was yelling at them for laughing at me and then I had a painful headache." He clutch his head "there were images appearing in my head, then I saw someone." He put his hand and look at his parents "I saw Grandma Noah. You and Grandma were arguing about something and that was it." His parents look at each other before looking at Randy.

"Listen Randall, you see...your mother and I-"

"I don't want to hear it, okay?" Randy lie down on the couch "can we talk about this when I'm feeling better." His parents nod before leaving the room. As his mom close the door, a frown appear on his face. He reach into his pocket and pull out the ring, the one he got from Delia. He sigh, sitting up and getting off the couch before changing into his pajamas. After he fully change, he climb onto his bed and lie down.

The dream he had...it felt so real and what do his grandmother mean powers? Why was his mom angry at her? And where is Grandma Noah? Randy bit his lip, letting tears fall down his face. God he wish he can see her again and tell her how much he love her. He wipe his tears away and put the ring on his middle finger. He lift up his hand, watching the moonlight making the ring sparkle before kissing it "love you too, Grandma Noah." Randy close his eyes and smile, dreaming about his wonderful grandmother.

"It seems his powers is starting to awaken again." A image of Randy's sleeping form is shown on a giant crystal ball. The figure stare at it, smiling in joy "soon we'll meet again, my adorable grandson."
