Me: Dumb writers block! I hate thee! To make up for it, I'm gonna make my best friend talk Yoda.
Austin: Talking this way, why am I?
Me: Cause my momma said I could be anything I wanted to. So, I became a B-
Austin: Speak like that you mustn't! Children here there are!
Me: Dude, since when do you care? You can't barley go 5 minutes without swearing! Plus, we are children.
Austin: A point good you have.
Me: Damn straight. Oh, and thank you 6-The-Cloaked-Schemer-9 and Sakamoto Itoe for the ideas! . Also, I'm running out of people to talk to after I do the disclaimer so you guys get to chose.

Austin: Bored you are?
Me: Yes. I have the attention span of a squirrel. I also have something wrong with my head because I can't remember things and forget stuff right before I say it, unless it's a story idea, and manage to mess nearly everything up.
Austin: True it is. Chock on air, you once did.
Me: Yes, I did even chock on air! It's not a solid or liquid! It's impossible to chock on! Yet, I did. :' ( I'm a screw up. To the story!

Lumaria gasped and looked around his room. Myde and Lea went home long ago and he'd fallen asleep. But more importantly, once again, he felt some chill go up his spine. Not like the chills he got before. No, these were different. He couldn't really describe it, but it was a type of chill you get when you know something bad just happened to someone you know somewhere and you dismiss it, only to find out something really terrible happened around that time that involved someone you cared about. Lumaria knew whatever the Hell just happened, it wasn't good. Lumaria knew that it was way past bad, in fact, it was just about the fucking worst thing that could possibly happen to someone he knew. In situations like these he did what he always did. He said the first thing that came to mind. Right now, that was only two simple words.
"Oh, fuck."
Now:
"Okay, do you understand the plan?"
"Yeah, yeah! I get it already! I go help Zo-Zo while you get one of his friends to find him. More preferably the kid with brown hair and a liking to flowers." Hannah said rolling her eyes. "Go already! It would be surprising if this kid makes it the way you're stalling!"
Lily, calmly I might add, glared at her younger sister before teleporting away. Hannah stuck her tongue out at the spot where her sister just was. She acted like her mom or something! Sheesh.
"Whatever." The blond girl said to herself. "Now, let's see what we can do…"
Lumaria paced around his room thinking of what to do. He knew something bad just happened but he could not figure what. He felt as if he should be going to acertain place or doing something right then but he forgot what, or where, it was. Lumaria sighed.
"Well, this sucks…"Just then, Lily teleported right into the room. Of course, she was a goddess so mortal couldn't see her unless she wanted them to, but they could hear her. Sneaking over to the boy, and started whispering into his ear. Softly of course, so to seem like he thought it, not heard it.
"The forest. Go to the forest…quickly!" She cooed.
Immediately, his head snapped up. "The forest… That's it!" He barley finished his sentence before snatching up his coat and dashing out the door. Behind him, the invisible Lily sighed. "I just hope he's not to late…" She whispered.
"Okay Hannah, Lumaria's on his way so-What the heck! You're not done healing him yet!?" Lily screeched as she came from another portal. Indeed, Hannah was not done healing. Even though it had been 30 minutes!
"Oh! I'm sooooo sorry I'm taking so long." She said sarcasticly. "I'd like o see you try this! IT'S HARD!"
"Did you at least stop the internal bleeding?..." The older one asked.g
"Well, yeah. I mean, I had to do that first." The sun girl responded crossing her arms.
"Good. Now come on!" Lily grabbed her sister by the wrist. "I can hear Lumaria a little bit away and we gotta fend off the Soul Eater!" With that, she dragged her sister away into the portal to The Forest of Life just as Lumaria came running up to Ienzo. As he got over the shock of seeing him like this (which shouldn't of been a shock since he's always getting hurt) Lumaria kneeled down and checked the small boy for a pulse. Lumaria was relived when he felt one. It was faint, but there. He picked the younger kid up and rushed off to his house. It was Sunday and the hospital wouldn't be open. He was NOT going to deal with Cid either.
"Come on, buddy. Let's get you cleaned up." He muttered as Ienzo moaned in his arms.
When Lumaria got home he set Ienzo on his bed, thankful once again, his mother wasn't home. He sat next to the boy and started checking him for wounds, bandaging them as he came along. Luckily, there wasn't any internal bleeding. Once he was done, a few hours later, he went to call Myde and Lea. Ienzo was gonna have some explaining to do when he woke up and all of them would like to know. He quickly dialed the number to Myde's house and was hapy when he picked up.
"Yo! This is Myde speaking, how may I help you?"
"Myde! Can you get Lea and come over here ASAP. I'll explain when you guys get here."
"Yeah! No prob. We'll be right there. Later!" With that, he hung up.
Lumaria hung up the phone and sat on the bed with Ienzo, who was sleeping soundly. "I wish I knew what the problem is. I want to help." Lumaria squeezed the boys hand and, again, whispered, "I want to help." Suddenly, a white glow emitted from their intertwined hands for a brief second and Lumaria felt pressure in his hand that wasn't there before. He pulled his hand back his hand and saw two beautiful rings. They were silver rings with half a twilight rose on each. By twilight rose I mean it looked like the sunset in rose form. It was a beautiful mixture of orange, red, purple, pink, and any other color in the sunset. Half of the rose was on each ring. 'The heck? Where'd this come from?' Lumaria didn't know what to do with it so he decided to give them to Ienzo when he woke up.
Buzzzzz! Buzzzzzz! Buzzzz!
"Stupid doorbell..." Lumaria muttered as he stuffed the rings in his pocket and made his way to the living room to answer the door. He was only half way there when the door was kicked open and the top hinges came off to reveal Lea (Who was grinning) and Myde who was holding…a water bottle? 'What… the hell? Why does he have a… I probably don't want to know.' Lumaria thought as he noticed the door was barley still hanging on.
"What the hell, Lea! What'd you go and do that!" Lumaria nearly yelled. "I was about to open the door!"
"I've always wanted to kick a door in." Lea replied lazily.
"Why my door? Dude, my mom's gonna be back in a week! She's not gonnabelieve that you kicked the front door in! She's gonna kill me or whip me with a belt or something!"
"Welllllllll, At least it looked cool." The red-head shot back.
"Cool? Opening the door's real cool too, you retarded idiot!"
"Anything else you have to say?"
"I hate you so goddamn much."
"Love you too, honey."
"Enough!" Screamed Myde. He turned to Lea and sprayed him twice with the water bottle. Lea covered his face with one hand and tried to swat at the water bottle with the other. With his eyes closed... "You shouldn't have done that!" Calmer now he added, "Now, Lu-Lu, what'd you wanna see us for?"
Lumaria sighed. (We do that a lot now these days) It would be too hard to explain. "You guys should see for yourselves." He called as he turned and led to two to his room. They exchanged glances before following, anger forgotten. When they got there, they saw Ienzo was awake. Yelling must've woken him. He was now with his legs drown to his chest and his arms wrapped around them sitting in the window sill. Lumaria might've bandaged the outer wounds but the blood was still on his face and other parts of his body. Lea recovered first while Myde still was staring.
"My gods Zo, what in the world happened to you?" He asked, running his fingers through his hair.
Ienzo just blankly stared at the wall and shrugged. No one really expected him to respond. After all, he looked like he'd been through Hell and back, twice. "I guess I can't lie to you guys anymore, huh?" He muttered.
Myde opened his mouth to say something but Ienzo cut him off. "Don't bother wasting your breath. I know what you're going to ask. What happened to me? Am I right?" Myde just nodded so Ienzo continued. "I guess I should tell you everything. First, let's clear a few things up. My name's not really Ienzo Highwind. It's Ienzo Hikari of the royal family. Also, in case you haven't figured it out, I'm not from around here." Ienzo gave a bitter laugh as he shook his head. "Hell, I am as far away from where I lived before as physically possible. I came from a place called Halloween Town. Just as the name implies, it's a scary place. Though, it's fun and the people there will scare you but get to know them and they're good people. Or, freaks as I should say. Everyone who lives there are all freaks. Ya'know, monsters. Demons. Once there was an Angel. Call them what you want, they're all people though." He shrugged again. "Like I said, it's everyone who was born there."
Myde gasped. "But, that means…" He trailed off, to nervous to continue.
Ienzo nodded, staring at his feet. He knew they would act like this. They think he's a freak. That's why he never told them before. "See, I'm not like other people from Halloween Town. I'm what you call 'special.' Basically, I'm human except… not."
Lea was confused. "Whadda mean 'not?' You either are or aren't. There's no in between!"
Ienzo gave a sigh. "Let me show you. But first, you should know that this isn't my real eye color." He reached up and took out the colored contacts, showing his real eyes. The others gasped. Ienzo closed his eyes in deep concentration. Soon, there was one Angel wing on the right and a Demon wing on the left of his back. On the side with the Demon wing, there was a small black horn on his head. A small halo floated on the opposite side. "Now do you understand?" He asked, almost crying. "I'm a freak! Half angel half demon. There's not supposed to be an in-between!"
Lumaria was taking this all in still. Myde basically said what was on his mind for him. "We don't think you're a-" But he was cut off by Ienzo.
"Don't lie." There was an awkward silence after that. No one really wanted to be the one to ask, but the three were wanting to ask the same question.
"…Why'd you leave?" Finally whispered, surprisingly enough, Lumaria, who had apparently gotten over his shock.
Ienzo glanced at him before going back to the floor. "I thought you'd never ask. To start off, my parents were…unique. My mom was an angel, my dad a demon. Not just any demon, the top dog himself. God only knows how they met, non the less got together and had kids. Before you say anything, yes I said kids. With an 's'. I have an older brother. Name's Nickolas. Everyone called him Nick or, in my case, Nicky. Anyway, it all really started when I was 3. My mom, Juliet, was taking a long walk through the woods with me while out of town. The woods were a beautiful, but dangerous place. My mom knew that but didn't care and I was too young to understand. That day it was really hot and we were by a river. My mother went off to pick flowers and said she'd be back in a few minutes. Well, half an hour passed and she didn't come. I went to look for her and after some searching, found her dead corpse bloody, bruised, bitten, and torn open." Ienzo started crying fiercely. "You cam imagine how traumatizing that is for a 3 year old. I basically puked and everything blacked out after that. Later I was told that I ran back to the place we were staying in tears. They couldn't understand what I was saying but they knew something had happened when I led them to the forest. You can guess what happened next. Dad got overprotective. He didn't want us getting hurt even again. Hell, he decided we weren't ever leaving the castle again. Though by brother and I were able to sneak out sometimes and go into town.Daddy decided that we were to both marry and become rulers of Halloween Town. Well, I didn't want that. I didn't know how but I was going to leave. At that time my brother was 11 and found out he was of the Demon breed years before. I was still little and didn't know what I would be yet. It wasn't often an Angel and Demon fall in love. When I was 5, we found out what. By 'we' I mean my brother, his friends, my best friend, and me. My best friend, Sky, was trying to sneak up on me. He attempted to jump on my back like I did to him sometimes. It didn't exactly go as planed. He got to the jumping part before I heard him and turned around. I couldn't help it. I panicked. I ended up hitting him with these." Ienzo held his palms out and in one hand appeared a white sphere was in one hand, a black sphere in the other. "Of course I was 5 and he was 6 so I wasn't very strong compared to him. I just ended up knocking him back. Instead of being mad he got really excited and pulled me off to find Nicky. Eventually we found him with his friends, Kevin and Alex. I showed him what I did. We thought he was going to really happy for me. Instead, at first he looked shocked before dropping to his knees and starting to shake me hard until I promised never to show anyone else or do that again. Of course I promised back and I never break a promise. When he stopped shaking me I saw he was crying and Nick hugged me which was a shock because I had never seen him cry before and he doesn't hug me often. He was supposed to be the strong older brother who never cried or got hurt. Anyway, the others just stood by watching. We all went inside and Nicky, Kevin, and Alex explained about me being a Half-breed. They're rare and, no matter whom they are, have dangerous live. A lot of people want to kill Half-breeds. The reasons vary and I don't feel live explaining. I would have to leave sooner than expected. A Demon, Angel, or half breed like my-self find out what they were between the ages of 3 and 8 Finding I only had a few years left in Halloween Town, I lived life to the fullest. I snuck out more, spent more time with my friends and brother, and stayed up late, you know, the works. Then, when I was 7 ½ it was finally time for me to go. Dad would get suspicious soon. The night before I would leave, Sky and I got in a fight. I eventually ran from the room and we haven't seen each other since. I was able to get here by a portal I summoned up using my necklace." He unconsciously fingered a place below his shirt where his necklace supposedly was. "It was a cold, storming night so when I got here and landed in some field, I tried to run to some trees or cave or something. I ended up running through town and passing out near Cid's house. You can piece everything together from there. Cid decided to adopt me, I mysteriously showed up with no back round what-so-ever, and you guys know the rest." He said with a shake of his head. "And that's that.
Ienzo turned his gaze to Lumaria who suddenly became interested in his shoes. "Hey, Lu, you said you wanted to know what that wolf was. Well, it was a demon called a Soul Eater. It's the thing" he spat out 'thing' so it was dripping with venom, "that's been murdering those people here. It sucks the soul right out from you. Luckily, you can live 10-15 minutes without your soul so if you get your soul sucked and it dies within 15 minutes, you can still live. After that…well, I think you know. If it sucks the soul of and Angel or some other pure thing, it will become immortal. I don't know what one's doing here though. Everyone's thought them to be extinct for nearly 10 years now. Oh, did I mention it's after me?" The others were still attempting to process this information in their brains. Key Word: attempt.
Ienzo suddenly have a sad half smile and cast his eyes toward the group in front of him. "You guys want to know what I think the reason my mom was killed that day when we on vacation?" He asked, unlocking the window behind him in a way no one could notice. He was lucky, it starting to get dark and Lumaria's room faced away from the sun. It was even darker than usually in the room. It was hard to see their hands. The kids in front of him could only nod as he slightly flapped the wings on his back. They had grown larger than they had been as a child and, if he practiced more, could actually be used to fly him around.
As he leaned behind him so his back put a slight pressure on the window behind him, a single crystal tear slid down his face. "You don't find angels in Hell." He whispered. And with that, he fully leaned backwards so the window behind him burst open and he fell backwards toward the ground as the others gasped and rushed at the window.
Luckily, Ienzo was on the second floor and was able to flip on his feet like a cat and his wings slowed his fall. He landed in a crouched position as he looked back at the window where the others were gazing out of. He gave one more small smile back at them before running off.
Okay, I reeeaaalllly wanted to put more here but I knew I never would get this chapter done if I did. Sorry for the delay. I am a lazy person when I have the time. I am a bad person. So, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and that you'll keep reading! Later! Also, I want to see if you guys can figure out what other power Ienzo has. I won't tell what it is but I left clues in this chapter and another one. Say it in your review! BYE!
