Chapter 2: Growing closer and Nightmares vision
1 week later at Tottenham Secondary school
A week had passed since Veronica had first started coming to his secondary school and Kell right now was still struggling to talk with the girl that he had met in his brother's business party.
In the time since Veronica had actually shown to be both very intelligent to the point that it made almost everyone else that comes to this school in their year and even some that were a year or two that were older than them.
Another thing being that the girl was surprisingly athletic which and was good at sports like volleyball, netball and athletics which made some of the guys in his year fall in love with the girl and have a crush on her or when it came to the girls that had become jealous of her.
Overall to sum up for Kell the whole thing had become simply put very troublesome.
Kell had been in the same classes as Veronica in Science, Maths, History and PE but each time that the two of them were in the same class, Kell would spare her a glance every now and again and he could tell that she was doing the same to him.
Right now Kell was in Maths and as if fate was trying to laugh at him, he was sat next to Veronica as the two were currently working through Math questions on some Algebra subjects.
Right now Kell was struggling on one of the questions and wrote that he thought was the answer.
"14." Veronica just randomly, which confused Kell as he looked at her, "The answer is 14." She then clarified.
Veronica then explained to Kell where he had gone wrong when it came to question and helped him with the working out.
"Geez I'm surprised that your parents when they finally let you go to school, didn't send you to one of the more 'posh' schools." Kell complimented.
"Well I'm only here for the remainder of the school year before I transfer over to one of those 'posh' schools." Veronica said with an amused smile.
Kell smirked slightly, "We're assuming that this school doesn't send you clinically insane first."
Veronica giggled a bit, "Well it's a good thing that's there someone here that I get along with." She responded.
"I guess it is." Kell responded like this was the first time that the two of them had met each other back in that business party that their parents in Veronica's case and brother in Kell's case.
About an hour later during lunch break
Kell was currently sitting down by a tree eating his lunch as he was watching the world go by.
Now usually this kind of thing for a 'street kid' would be unusual but since coming to the UK Kell would like to think that he's calmed down a bit but that's more because most of the time he was keeping to himself though that made things more peaceful.
"Mind if I sit here." A familiar voice said to Kell which made Kell turn and saw Veronica.
Kell shrugged, "Sure go right ahead."
Veronica sat right next to Kell and the two continue to eat their lunch in silent.
"It's almost like before when we started talking to each other back at that party." Kell broke the silent.
Veronica gave a small smile, "Indeed, though instead of being inside of a high party we're now in a school."
"Yeah, a very crap one." Kell retorted, "I was surprised that your father changed his mind on letting you go to school or that he had choose for you to come here."
"I was just as surprised as you when it came to me coming to school here." Veronica admitted, "According to him, he decided that after the interaction between me and you, he decided that it would be good for me to interact with people close to my age. And as I said before I'm only here for the rest of this school year and afterwards I will be moved to a one of the country best schools." Veronica told him.
"Who would have thought that us two meeting would then lead you to going to school?" Kell said with a smirk on his face.
Veronica smiled but after a few moments of silence then asked, "Is there a reason for you not talking to me since I came to this school?"
Kell knew that he was mostly ignoring her because of him knowing that every boy in their year and some of them in the year that was above them had a crush on her and he felt that him and her being seen together would cause more trouble then it would be more trouble than it would be worth.
Kell then shrugged, "I don't recall telling you that I was a people person so please don't take it personal."
Veronica tilted her head before putting a gentle look onto her head, "Then why don't you try and spend more time with people?" She asked in a gentle tone, "I'm sure that if you can get along with me, that maybe if you spend time with some others then you can get better at dealing with people."
Kell shook her head, "With me having a short temper and that I have a little patient for bullshit." Kell said bluntly.
Veronica placed a gentle hand on Kell's shoulder, "That may be true but that shouldn't mean that you isolate yourself from people."
Kell was glad that he had was in position that Veronica would not see his face because his face was blushing right now feeling how gentle and soft Veronica's hands were and that it made him feel something that he had not feel before.
Kell gently removed her hand from his shoulder and managed to remove the blush from his face before responding with, "I somehow doubt that."
Veronica looked at Kell's face and was about to say something until… "Hey Veronica!"
The two of them turned and saw a student that was round about their age beginning to come towards them.
Kell sighed as he knew who it was and had to resist facepalming.
The student stood in around an inch or two taller then Kell and was wearing the same school uniform that both Kell and Veronica were wearing. The boy had tan skin and light brown hair, greyish eyes and he had a big build on him. But the most noticeable thing about him was that he had big bunny like teeth which when he smiled smugly made Kell want to punch his teeth in.
This was Trevor someone who Kell couldn't stand.
The two since they first met each other would go at each other's throat with the issue resolving down to Kell being a street kid from Baltimore who was trying to adapt to a change of both scenery and culture being in London while Trevor liked to act almost like a gangster because his family came from Brixton even though his family moved to Essex when he was younger.
So Trevor would taunt Kell either when he was being backed up by all his mates to defend him if things got physical, in class where Trevor knew Kell wouldn't fight unless he wanted to get into trouble or and this is the most likely in this case, if he was trying to impress some girls.
This made Kell sigh as he had a feeling that's what he was trying to do.
Veronica also was annoyed as since she arrived at this school, Trevor tried to flirt with her which since they were both in year 7 was weird and also very annoying.
"Hello Veronica." Trevor said in an arrogant tone which made both Kell and Veronica roll their eyes.
"Hello Trevor." Veronica said trying to sound polite, but it was difficult for her as this guy had a habit of pushing her buttons.
"Hey, I was just wondering if you were available tomorrow after school?" He asked.
This made Veronica roll her eyes, "You do remember that we're in a History trip tomorrow, right?"
This made Trevor sweat drop as he had forgotten that" O-Oh."
"And that we're not going to returning back to school until about 4:45 which is just about and hour and twenty minutes after we usually finish school, meaning that I would probably want to go straight back to my home." Veronica added raising an eyebrow while having her arms crossed under chest.
Trevor to his credit looked a bit embarrassed about forgetting that detail before stuttering, "H-How about F-Friday?"
Veronica rolled her eyes again, "Still not interested. Now if you would excuse us, we were in the middle of having our lunch." Veronica told him.
This made Trevor glare at Kell, "I just don't understand why you would hang out with a loser like him!?"
This made Kell glare, "What'd you just call me?" Kell asked in a dangerous tone.
"You'd heard me wannabe tough guy!" Trevor mocked right in Kell's face which made him want to punch him, but Veronica placed a hand on his shoulder to try and calm him down.
That didn't stop Kell from responding however, "You want to call me a wannabe tough guy when you keep talking about you were from Brixton while in reality you grew up silver spooned in Essex, lying twat." Kell responding using the nicest word he could say without swearing.
This now pissed Trevor off, "What'd you say about me?" He was now marching looking to start a fight with Kell who was moving forward as well.
"You heard me or is hearing too good for you? No wonder even nepotism couldn't get you into one of the country's best schools." Kell taunted which further pissed off Trevor who was now right in Kell's face.
Just before fist can be thrown between the two of them, Veronica stood in between with her wrapping herself onto Kell which made it look like she was hugging Kell while in reality she was only just trying to restrain Kell from getting into a fight.
However since it looked like she was hugging Kell caused Kell to blush and Trevor to look even more angry.
"Trevor." Veronica started off, "If your just here to try and start a fight with Kell then just go. I'm not interested in going out with you and I really want to finish off enjoying my lunch break." She told him gently but firmly.
This caused Trevor to sneer, "Fine I'll let you and the loser enjoy your break but when you want to spend your time with a real man let me know." He said but he said it more to taunt Kell who was a bit in daze while being hugged by Veronica who was now blushing because of the whole 'Dating' comment.
However after that comment Kell snapped out of it and while having a slight blush on his face responded, "Fuck off Trevor!" Which made Trevor laughed as he walked probably to play football with his friends or something.
Kell then remembered that because of him being quite a bit shorter then Veronica that right now was that he was resting his head by her neck which caused the blush in his face to return and Veronica who had realised where she had placed Kell and that made her blush as well.
Now usually this would cause the two of them to immediately rush to try and separate of each other's because obviously they had only meet not too long ago and they didn't talk too much but for some reason they enjoyed it for some reason.
Eventually the two separated much to the silent sadness of the two who had enjoyed the weird hug with Kell saying to Veronica, "Well sorry about that whole thing with me and that jerk." He apologised.
Veronica shook her head at Kell's apologise, "No don't worry about it but don't try and respond to his insults as much." She advised him.
Kell couldn't help but scoff a bit, "I'll try but with how that twat can be, I'll feel like its more likely that I'll probably knock him out before I can ignore him."
He expected Vernoica to scold him but what he wasn't expecting was for her to say, "With how he can be I don't blame you." Kell then looked at her shocked which caused her to tilt her head before asking, "What?"
"It's just I wasn't expecting you to say that." Kell said honestly since she never seemed to be the kind of person to approve of violence.
Veronica would sigh, "I'm not usually but with all the date proposals in just one week and with how he acts around you, I'm willing to make an exception."
Kell couldn't help but smile, "Guess there's another thing that we have in common apart from our necklaces."
Veronica couldn't help but smile, "I guess we do." She then held out her hand to Kell, "Now then shall we get back to our lunch?"
Kell took her hand and the two of them went off to continue having lunch while Kell had one thing on his mind…
'Why do I feel weird around her?' He thought to himself.
The rest of the day of the two of them enjoying time together in their classes since they sat together and also about the field trip tomorrow.
Later in the evening at ?
Kell woke up and was completely confused on where the hell he even was.
"Where the hell am I?" Kell thought to himself.
"What is a human like you doing in my presence?" An inhumane voice sounded out.
The voice made Kell stop moving and feel like his heart had stopped as he slowly turned around and what little colour that he had on his face at what he was seeing.
This… thing looked a giant demonic heart with the size of it easily towering over his body and then some. Along with that there were multiple different organ like tubes thing that were depositing that Kell was hoping (even though he knew it wasn't) red paint which was causing this thing to glow a demonic red colour and make the presence that the thing had around itself become more and more almost suffocating.
Kell took step back away from whatever the hell this was supposed to be.
"W-what a-are you?" Kell said while shaking in fear at the almost suffocating presence of this thing.
Before Kell could take another step back he felt his body be wrapped up by a very powerful force as an energy like red arm wrapped around him and before Kell could scream or anything, a red like tendril wrapped round neck.
"I asked a question mortal! In fact…" Another red tendril blasted off this demonic heart thing and blasted into Kell's head which formed more tendrils that wrapped round his entire body which caused a scream of pain or as close as one since his neck was being wrapped to emerge from Kell.
However just a few moments later some kind of crimson red energy barrier formed around Kell protecting him and destroying the purple tendrils that was both formed around him and the ones that were restraining him.
"What!?" Though Kell couldn't see this thing's face he could tell that it was surprised.
It then responded by firing multiple more tendrils at Kell who put his hands over his head in order to try and protect himself but once again a red like barrier formed around Kell's body protecting him.
Kell looked shocked at seeing that until he heard this demonic heart thing laugh.
"I see now why one of my servants had informed me about you, but I require more proof before I decide on anything." It told Kell in a tone of voice that made him shiver in fear.
"W-what are you talking about?" Kell asked in a fearful tone.
"Should my servant theory be correct, I believe that we will meet again." It said before some kind of mist formed which made Kell feel lightheaded before he passed out.
James house
"Kell…Kell...Kell!" The last shout caused Kell to wake up with him breathing heavily because of his whole dream along with just being startled awake. Kell would look to see Shakur looking at him concerned and afraid but that wasn't the only thing that caught Kell's attention...
Kell looked round and saw that everything in his room was floating from his tv to his desk to some of his cloths to even his bed itself as Kell realised that he was looking slightly down at where his brother was.
Kell then calmed down in order to prevent his powers from sending any more things from going flying and after about a couple of minutes of taking some deep calming breaths all things that were flying return back to their normal places which included his bed which caused Kell to lose balance a bit.
Shakur rushed to his brother to make sure he was safe, "What happened? I was just walking along to go grab myself some water and then I heard some noise in your bedroom and next thing that I know when I enter, everything in your room was flying and it looked from what I could see that you were having a nightmare or something." Shakur asked while making sure that Kell was alright.
Kell thought back to that dream or rather nightmare that he had and especially about that weird demonic heart creature thing? Or whatever that thing was.
Kell shook his head not really knowing what to think, "I honestly don't know."
Neither of them did noticed that in near the pile of cloths that had been made when Kell sent everything flying that Kell's neckless was glowing a crimson red colour.
And if you looked closer it almost looked like it was…Squirming or something? Almost like it's alive.
AN: That will be it for now, so if you have a request then feel free to leave you thoughts in the review and until next time, take care!
