Chapter 7: Something's Wrong
Wednesday
11. September, 2013 9:30 [Night]
The Violet World, House of The Universe
Lying on her bed, thinking about how Andre saved her from those three creeps who were messing with her on her first day here, Tori hugged her pillows as if she was hugging him. Ever since she got to Esmeralda, all she could think about was him, it was always him. And now she was planning on keeping it with just him and her.
"First Jade, then Sam, then Melanie and maybe my sister, I'll just tell her…You can't kiss him no more because he's my man! MINE! Something along those lines. I'm sure she'll understand, sweet lovable Trina."
Tori pushed the power sealing tapes under her pillow when she heard the front doors downstairs opening and closing. She heard Moxy barking and everyone else gathering around Sam and Andre, they sounded happy to see them back. Hearing their laughter, their giggles and their "welcome backs" irritated her ears like a loud cicada during a summer evening.
Over by a corner in her bedroom, a small glow emanated from there, Tori saw this and sat up to see what it was. This glow took a form, and the form it took was of Michael, Tori was the first person to see him, besides Andre and his own sister.
"You must be Michael Esmeralda, I hope you don't get the wrong idea when I say this, but you're drop dead gorgeous. How old are you, really. Because you look like you're in your twenties."
"I'm twenty five, that was the age I left this earth. I haven't formally introduced myself to you, talking through Andre doesn't count for me. My name is Miguel Esmeralda, It's….es un placer conocerte." {it's a pleasure to meet you}
Tori stood up on her bed and royally curtsied for Michael, "My name is Tori Vega, Andre's girlfriend and future wife. It's a pleasure to finally meet you Michael."
"Tori, what you plan on doing to keep Andre for yourself is not out of love, because underneath all that love is jealousy, anger, and envy. That isn't healthy, please think about this, I'm looking out for Andre, for you and for everyone in former house."
"You really are to kind Michael, even in death you still protect the people closest to you. But you're not the one fighting for someone to love you, you were surrounded by all the people who gave you their love freely and willingly. You may be the reason why Andre has all these powers, but it's also the reason why he's in a house with a lot of girls too. If he never had powers, it could have just been me and him going to school regularly, going to each others homes. But I can't stop that, I can't undo all that's happened. That's why I have to do this, Because I'm in love. You obviously haven't been in love, how can you understand what I'm going through, as a girl."
"I may not be a girl Tori, but I know that great love and hatred are never far from each other in a person's or animal's heart. I don't need to be a girl to know that what's driving you is not love, maybe it is, but it's been muddied by over protection and selfishness Tori."
"Love makes you do crazy things, Insane things. Things in a million years you'd never see yourself do, but there you are doing them…can't help it."
Both of them could hear Andre's footsteps getting closer and closer to her bedroom, Michael smiles softly and fades away. Tori lays back down and throws her silver covers over her body and head. Andre opened the door and walked right in, the lights were off, Tori appeared to be asleep. Still, he went over to her side of the bed to sit down. Tori's hands pushed themselves up under her pillow, slowly. Andre placed his hand on her shoulder and tried to wake her up.
"Yo Tori…tori get up, c'mon girl get up. I need to share something with you…"
"Mmm…I'm tired…leave me alone."
"Really? You want me to leave you alone…that's it." Andre jumped into bed with Tori, grabbed her and had her straddled him. Tori, fought to fall back on her side of her bed, but Andre's arms kept themselves wrapped around her small waist. Tori lowered her head and bit Andre right on his nose.
"Ow!…Tori!? What the F!"
"I told you I was tired, besides don't you plan on spending the night with that yellow seven headed monster. Get out of my room."
"Alright…can't say I didn't try. And just so you know, there's no need for me to sleep with Sam tonight. I wanted to sleep by myself tonight, unless you would like to come over."
"Sorry this chick needs to see the cash before spreading it, Now get out of my room."
"Christ Tori…don't speak like that about yourself…I love you…goodnight Tori, see you tomorrow."
"Yeah see you tomorrow…Lover boy." Tori said quietly. Tori waited a bit, then walked out of her bedroom to check on something, she headed out into the foyer and went to see the dates list that hung near the front doors. Tomorrow Andre and Trina would be going out tomorrow, Tori wasn't all to intimidated by her sister, the sister of her past might have gone in for the kill long ago, but the Trina of today probably would bore him with her ideas and beliefs about the unknown, aliens and ghosts. But judging by everything that Tori has seen, ever since getting to this school was pretty much supernatural and right up her alley.
Tori blew hair strands that hung down from her head, away from her eyes and nose. She turned her head to look into the living room, she saw Sam hanging out, relaxing on a couch. Sam shot a glance over at Tori and looked somewhere else, Tori gave a loud "humph" sound and made her way into the kitchen to grab something to drink.
The Kitchen, First Floor
Sitting on the kitchen counter was her sister who was drinking fruit punch, Tori walked past her and reached into the refrigerator to grab a water bottle. She leaned next to her sister and asked,
"So big sis, you excited about tomorrow?"
"Why would I…oh yeah, it's my turn to put on the moves on him. Yeah I'm pretty excited, I'm definitely not worried if that's what you're thinking."
"Why would I be thinking that Trina?"
"Because I know I haven't really been on many dates when mom and dad were together. I mean I flirted a lot…of course it was all in good fun."
"I get that, but you don't ever see yourself with Andre in something long-term do you? I mean you two are so polar opposites. The guys you flirted with were after you, but Andre…really hasn't gone after you as much as he has with Sam or Jade."
"Yeah, but that can all change. There's something grreat about him though, and it's not the powers that makes him great, I mean their Cool, way cool; but theirs this amazing man inside of him. It's more than just kissing and grab ass little sis, love has layers, and the physical is just the first three layers out of twelve or thirteen."
"I know that, love is multilayered, if it wasn't, well there would be no substance after the sex."
"Sure little sis…"
"Well, goodnight Trina, see you tomorrow."
"Good Night Tori, oh Tori wait up!"
Tori stopped and turned, "yeah Trina, what is it." Trina jumped off the kitchen counter and asked, "Did you know that there's no sense or feel of high or low temperatures outside of this home. I cant even smell "anything" outside, isn't that weird."
"We're in a separate dimension Trina, we live near people our age with comic book powers, is non existent temperatures and smells all that weird? Laters Sis."
"Whoa…she's right. Hey! Where the hell is Moxy?"
Andre's Bedchamber
1:00 [Past Midnight]
Tori had stayed up as long as she could, and the majority of people in the house had fallen asleep. Trina, she knew fell asleep early. Moxy had gone quiet, melanie she was sure had fallen asleep. And Andre, she was sure he had fallen asleep. The only people still not asleep were Jade and Sam, who were laughing and talking in Jade's bedroom. Tori couldn't and wouldn't wait any longer, she was tired and focused on getting jade out of the house.
Tori stepped out of her bed and carefully stepped into some soft flat shoes and slowly opened her door, Jade's bedroom door was closed. Tori tip toed out of there and walked upstairs, she made her way to Andre's bedchamber doors. It was slightly open, she tried not to make to much noise when opening one of the doors so she could get in.
Once inside, It became very clear to Tori that Andre was dead asleep. The heavy and deep breathing was pretty audible, Tori walked over to his bed and stood over him, just watching him. She took his lright hand and held it in her hands. She kissed it, and pulled out one of the power sealing tapes and placed it on the top of his hand. The tape was made by Mara, and she saw how it faded into his flesh. She then walked around to place the other power sealing tape on his left hand, this one was crafted by Griffin. When that one faded into the top of his hand, Tori stood at the foot of his bed and prayed.
"Beautiful Eros, ever young, ever fair,
Your eyes, so dark, so ancient, pierce the soul
As your golden hearts pierce the hearts. Light hearted god,
Teacher of harsh lessons, giver of precious gifts, through you do we find our best selves, through you do show our worst faces; if ever we are good and decent, if ever we are greedy and cruel, it will be for the sake of love and desire. In your realm, sharp - shafted Eros, do we know ourselves true.
Before you, O Eros, we are all weak, and all strong. Seals activate, in the name of The God of Love."
Tori saw ethereal indigo barbwires and red electronic cords constricting themselves around Andre's right arm and Left arm. They glowed brightly one moment in their respective colors, then disappeared just as quickly. Andre's body jerked a bit, then relaxed.
"I love you Andre, goodnight."
Tori faced the direction of Michael and Caroline's painting that hung next to the current house painting, she blew a goodnight kiss to Michael's image. When Tori walked out of the bedroom, Michael appeared next to Andre's bed and sat on it.
"Eros…really, why him Tori."
Thursday
12, September 2013, 8:00 [Morning]
The Violet World, House of The Universe
When the next morning came around, Andre tossed and turned in his sleep. In his sleep, he was dreaming about being on Monster island, and using only a portion of his power, he fought and kept all kinds of monster there; never allowing them to threaten the human race again. But during one can of whoop ass he was giving a Allosaurus Rex, Andre felt his powers leave and therefore, was left with only his three un-removable powers, telekinesis, telepathy and teleportation.
With not a whole lot of stopping power, Andre's telekinesis barely kept giant moths, quick iguana monsters and terrifyingly large spiders from breaking through his barrier and attacking him. He woke up when a large spider bit down on him spurring his brain to wake him up. Andre awoke, jumping out of his bed, swinging his arms everywhere.
"You sons of bitches can't take me!...you…you…oh shit, none of that was real. Oh crap I'm alive! Hahaha I'm alive!"
"Ah Lord Harris, you're awake."
"Whoa!…Shiloh, damn you scared the living hell out of me. Hah for once you don't have to wake me up."
"So I see, well you're warm shower is waiting for you. And when you come back out, I'll have your school uniform out and ready."
Shiloh closed Andre's doors and went out to get started on his breakfast, Andre then remembered about his new powers. To send his newly under control powers away he said Retire, so to bring it back, he should say the word's Antonym. "Arrive…New Power" Andre extended his arms out and felt a warm sensation in them, but as soon as he felt something about to come out…"OW!….What The Fuck!?…."
Andre fell back on his ass, covered his waist with his arms, sharp pain ran through them like never before. Andre took a look at his arms and felt them both, the muscles' in them felt hard with a lot of tension in them. He massaged his arms and forearms, it was almost like he was rubbing himself for warmth on a cold winter day.
"What the hell is this!…why the hell…Michael!…Michael answer me!" Andre yelled for real and inside his head.
"Yes Andre, what is it" Michael spoke through Andre via telepathy.
"My powers, my powers which I finally got under control…none of it responding to me, I call for it…and this fucking intense pain shoots up my arms and forearms. Its like someone shoved knives in them and are scraping my bones at the same time. Did the soul outside take my powers away, I wonder if I can even…"
Andre attempted to levitate one of his pillows with telekinesis, The poillow came to him without issue. Andre then imagined himself into his shower room, and disappeared into a single point in space and appeared in the shower room. As he could tell, the three T's were working just fine. But his new powers, for the moment were gone.
"What the hell happened to my powers Michael…if you know…then tell me."
"Andre, it's no longer in my power. I can't do anything to help you, only you can call forth your power…I-"
"That's what I tried to do Michael!"
"Let me finish…I suggest meditating, going into your Soul, not your mind. The flame burns brighter and clearer in your soul. Once inside, it'll become clear to you how you can call forth your power."
"But I got school today, and I have date with Trina today also. And tomorrow the Harem games begin…where am I gonna find time to Meditate. Michael…help me….Michael?"
Andre looked around and couldn't see his mentor or even hear him, Andre, out of anger and worry punched the floor of his bathroom. "Damnit!…Fuck!"
Esmeralda High School, First Period, History Class (East Wing)
9:00 [Morning]
Stepping foot inside of first period class, It felt like forever since Andre's been to school. He was welcomed back by his favorite teacher, Mr. Ernesto Valdez who was very glad to seem him back.
"My isn't this is a big sorpresa, Mr. dark and handsome has returned back to class."
"Yeah I'm back, everyone can see it. Oohh Andre's back, oohh he's here, no wait he's there…BOO!"
The whole class jumped and either laughed at his jokes or just smirked. Andre removed his book bag and took his seat, he looked all around him and saw that no one really cared that he was missing for two days. What was worrying him was that his powers seemed to have just vanished, well not all of them.
Over by the far back, Trina watched Andre take out a notebook and pull out his history text book and just stare at the pages. She tore up a piece of paper from her notebook and scribbled something on it. She then crumples it up, aims it and throws it at Andre while the teacher had his back turned. The paper ball smacked Andre in the back of his head, he looked down at the floor and picked up the paper ball, he took a look behind him to see who might have thrown it at him.
He focused back on the paper, uncrumpled it and flattened it out. Questions like "Are you feeling ok?" "Why were you screaming early in the morning" and "you look spaced out." these were from Trina, Andre preferred to talk to her via telepathy instead of passing notes like they were still in middle school.
[Andre, Telepathy] "I'm feeling ok Trina, I was screaming because my power which I managed to get under control yesterday, just vanished on me today. And when I tried to call it forth, pain shot up my arms. I'm worried because the Harem games start tomorrow, and…well I don't want to lose Jade if it comes to the last round."
[Telepathy, Trina] "Wow Telepathy, this is so amazing. Oh right your problem, well would you like to postpone our date for another day. I don't want to hold up any time you might need to use to help get your power back."
[Telepathy, Andre] "No Trina, I don't want to do that to you. I don't want to be selfish, I want to spend time with you. But I don't know what I gotta do, I don't even know how…wait Michael told me to meditate. I just need to meditate."
[Telepathy, Trina] "Meditate? We can check the library out later and check up on some books about Meditation. Maybe those will help you."
Andre thanked her for being so understanding and focused back on taking notes for class. On their way out of first period class, Andre spotted Beck among other students in the hallways when getting from one class to his second period class. Looking at beck and exchanging glances, both boys thought about facing each other. Beck didn't look to concerned, compared to Andre who looked more nervous than a bad student during report card day.
Math Class
10:15 [Morning]
In math class, The teacher, Ms. William called up Andre to solve an early algebra problem as part of his welcome back. Andre, who was no slouch when it came to Math or anything related to it, took up the challenge.
He needed to simplify 3(2x - (5 - 2y + 7x) + 5y) give the answer and explain how he got it with steps. As he went on to solve first steps of this problem, the marker Andre was using, the marks he was making on the white board, he saw come to life and take forms of stick people. He watched this happening in front of him like a little animation, he watched one stick figure who had the name of Beck hanging above it's head kicking the butt the other stick figure that had Andre's name above it's head.
Stick figure Andre was having a hard time landing solid hits on stick figure Beck, spin kicks, round house kicks, tornado kicks, quick left and right jabs, swift uppercuts, Stick figure Andre just wasn't fast enough. But despite viewing this small animation that was being conceived by his own state of worry and nervousness, Andre was still explaining his steps, if rather just a bit to slowly for the class.
"Andre…Andre…Mr. Harris!" the teach said out loud.
"Yes Ms. Williams…what is it…" Andre answered somewhat very slowly and calmly.
"You're talking very slowly and frankly you're boring the class. You gave us the answer which is good, it shows me you know how to get your answer. Please go back to your seat."
Andre went back to his seat and wrote in his math notebook a quote that just came to him.
"All That is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire will be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be King." [J.R.R Tolkien, The Fellowship of The Ring]
Trina could see that Andre was probably going to be acting like this until Lunch period came, she needed to do something to help him through this. She looked over and saw Tori focusing on her class work, Sam Jade looking over at a window and saw Sam sleeping. Melanie for the most part, was the one to raise her hand and answer any and all questions pertaining to the class work.
Lunch Period, Library
12:19 [Noon]
Two more classes later, Andre wasted no time in going into the Library with Trina in hand to check up on some books about meditation. Trina, already deciding early to accompany wherever he wanted or needed to go, picked out some books for him about how to meditate.
The library in Esmeralda was huge compared to many other schools in the Portland area, not only was it huge, it was like a city library, with dvd's, videos, e-books, audio books, accessible databases, something other libraries had, but lacked in quality. Where other Libraries had numerous version of one topic, they were similar in more ways than one. Here at Esmeralda, there were completely different types of books and videos based on one topic, and the topic of today was meditation.
Sitting at a table all by himself reading all that he could about Meditation, Andre was focused on getting his new power back up and running. He knew that Michael, a once near all powerful being knew what happened to his powers, why he was holding out on this information was beyond him. While somewhere else in the back, Trina indulged in some books about the unknown in her own corner. Books she picked out were about aliens, about the notorious "shadow people" books about monsters and strange creatures and so much more.
Trina came upon a chapter in her book about real monsters, that talked about the legendary St. Augustine Monster that landed on the coast of St. Augustine Florida in 1896. She wanted to show it to Andre and approached him, but Andre was to worried to read about monster, globsters or aliens.
"I'm sorry Trina, I know you like reading about that stuff, and I like the unknown just as much you do. But I can't indulge in that kind of stuff right now, I needs to keep reading these steps this book is telling me to do. I thought It was all just about closing your eyes, breathing in slowly and clearing out one's mind, but it's not that simple; not that simple at all.
"It's ok Andre, I get it. I mean I get what you mean…" Andre watched Trina place her book on the table, sat on his lap, turned around and looked him dead in his eyes. Something else was happening in his pants.
"Meditation is easy Andre, if you can keep a clear mind while things are distracting you, or trying to distract you, you'll be able to reach into the deepest parts of your mind or soul. You ready?"
"Trina…what are you talking about…whoa Trina wait a sec." Trina began to undo the button on her shirt, unhooked her bra pressed her breasts together to tempt Andre.
"Meditate Andre!…if you can fight that alpha male urge to bend me over this table, pull my skirt down and ravage me, your ready for the harem games and ready to recover all your lost power."
That was more easier said than done, Andre tried to keep his eyes clothes. But Trina's boobs, which were much larger and rounder than her sister's, were calling out to him. His hands which he tried to keep locked together, kept feeling up on her thighs and pushing up between her center.
"Meditate…meditate…Deeper…Deeper…All the way…Down to My Core…." Andre inhaled a great amount of air, and exhaled it just as greatly.
Andre drifted deeper and deeper into his own being, from the crown of his mind to the heart of his soul, Andre opened his eyes and saw what was really inside of him.
The Soul of The Lord (Andre's Soul)
Andre slowly hovered down to the ground of Soul and looked all around him, his soul's interior was like that of his throne room, only more gleaming white and with paintings of him, his family, his friends, his house and of Michael. There was a painting of each individual girl in his house, hanging on the walls of his soul.
The throne which wasn't a throne at all, had a large round golden fire pan with the white burning flame in it's place. Andre approached the white burning flame and saw six floating colored orbs revolving around his flame. Taking a closer look at four colored orbs, Andre noticed they belonged to Beck Oliver, True Jenna, Shawn Becker and Principal Jasmine. But two other ones, a darker indigo and black red orbs had sharp spines sticking out of them.
"Great Flame of mine, your Master calls to you. Explain to me, what are those two other strange looking orbs surrounding you."
The flame on the fire pan reacts to Andre's presence and jumps out of it's pan, it takes a human form and bows to Andre. Andre bows right back and hears his flame beginning to explain what these two strange orbs are.
"Good evening My Lord, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I can already see the differences between you and my former master, Michael." The flame sounded like a thousand men speaking at the same time, it spoke with such power and with great wisdom.
"As you already know, I once surrounded you as a mere shroud of energy, but The Soul Outside recognized you as the right successor to Michael when you ventured into the Garden. that's why I took physical forms as protective armor pieces, but yesterday something or someone placed power seal tapes on your arms which prevented me from protecting your hands and arms."
"Someone placed power seal tapes on me? When…yesterday? But I don't remember sealing up my…I mean sealing you up. I was never gonna do it, and Jasmine never sealed you up. So who could have done it."
"If you do not know, then I cannot know…I may grant you near omnipotent power, but I can't act alone without a Master.
Andre approached his Flame and asked to stretch out it's arms, Andre saw the sealing tapes. Both had their own unique power restrains on his power, also, there was a pink glow to these seals. Andre grabbed the top of the seals, slowly pulled them off and watched them slowly come off…that is until a large muscular arm made of barbwire and purple fire and an arm made of electronic equipment with sound coils and wires, popped out of the arms of his white flame and grabbed Andre and swung him around and threw him against the walls of his soul.
"My Lord…these monsters are the seals personified, if you can beat them…then you will have recovered a portion of me."
"I have to fight to those things!?"
The monster representing the seal created by Mara fully manifested itself as a tall lean muscular being created out of mostly barbwire, razor wire and a purple fire that burned as eyes for it, and on it's arms. The second monster representing Griffin's seal, manifested as a collection of musical instrument which gave it a tall and bulky look to it. Red glowing orbs gave it it's eyes, large microphones gave it it's fists and guitar amplifiers and speakers made up most of it's arms, legs and body.
"You two are in my most inner self, you guys are making a mess…And worst of all, you bastards are impeding from controlling most of my power!"
Andre charged both monsters using only what he learned from training with principal jasmine as his only allies.
End of Lunch Period
12:50 [Noon]
Coming out of his Meditative state, Andre awoke on his forearms. He had fallen asleep after initially going into his meditative state and coming out of it after only 40 minutes. But to Andre, it felt more than that.
"Trina!…where are you…Trina!…Trina!?" he said out loud.
"Yo!…I'm right over here by the supernatural/ paranormal section." she answered from around a few aisles in front. She came back over to Andre and saw that he just coming out of a deep sleep. "Wow and you woke up just in time, I thought I was gonna have to stop drag you out of here. So how did it go Andre, did you get your powers back?"
Andre rubbed his eyes, inhaled and exhaled, then raised his right fist up to his face and concentrated.
Trina watched as his hand, forearm, arm and shoulder became shrouded in white energy, then from there saw how the energy changed into a blazing white Gauntlet, Rerebrace, Vambrace, Couter, and Pauldron armor pieces.
"No friggin waayy…" Trina stood in awe as she stared at these glossy white, burning white armor pieces.
"No..big…De..al…uuhh." Andre's armor pieces disappeared, he fainted from exhaustion after fighting an intense internal battle within himself.
"Andre!…oh my god!…Andre!"
Next Chapter: Resurgence
(!) "Continued in Chapter 8. Tori's "Love Makes you do Crazy Things" quote is actually a quote from the film Wicker Park. And the quote Andre wrote into his notebook was from J.R Tolkien Fellowship of The Ring."
