Darkness, there is nothing but darkness around me. I look around but I can't see anything.
"SUBMIT!"
Something yells.
What is this.
"GIVE IN TO ME!"
It yells.
I can't talk. Why can't I talk?!
"GIVE IN KID! I'M STRONGER THAN YOU!"
It yells one last time before I jerk up in my bed in a cold sweat.
"What was that about?"
I mumble under staggered breathes. I look at my clock.
6:50 am. The bus should be here in 10 minutes.
I stand up and quickly throw on my clothes. I quickly grab my bag and run downstairs. I grab a poptart quickly and eat it. I run out to the bus and jump on it. I quickly walk back to the back seat and sit down. After a few minutes of just sitting there because I forgot my music then I see Aziria walk onto the bus. She walks back and sits next to me again.
"Hey."
I say to her.
"Hi."
She says back quietly.
Well I'm making progress with talking to her.
We don't talk much after that. When we get to school she quickly gets off the bus and runs inside. I shrug and slowly walk in. As I walk in a kid stands out. He has long grey hair and a suit on. I notice he's standing by Dillan Cage.
Hm, I'm gonna go talk to them.
I think to myself as I walk over to them. I lightly tap his shoulder from behind. He quickly turns around and throws a punch. I jump back away from him narrowly avoiding getting hit.
What the hell is his problem.
"OH, sorry kid, thought you might've been someone else."
He says calmly. Dillan pinches his neck and sighs.
"Man, I don't want you in ISS again."
Dillan says calmly. I notice that the grey haired kid is wearing a black sword on a necklace.
This guy, he almost hit me. And that was a pretty good right hook.
I stare at them and then the grey haired kid steps forward and extends his hand.
"You can call me Zero."
He says with a smile. I shake his hand
"I'm Kai, nice swing."
I say. He smiles
"I fight alot."
All of a sudden the antisocial kid from my homeroom that I sat by walks up and stares at us. He laughs and looks at Zero.
"Well you did take a baseball bat to half the football team and got ISS for an entire school year."
He says while lightly chuckling.
What the hell is wrong with this kid. He beat up the football team with a baseball bat!
Zero quickly kisses Dillans cheek
"I'm gonna go to homeroom now."
Oh he's gay. I won't judge but I might need to keep my distance from him.
"See ya Kai."
Zero and Dillan say as they walk away.
Weirdos.
I look at the guy that walked up.
"Hey you sat by me yesterday in homeroom."
He says. I reply
"Yea, I did."
He slowly rolls his neck.
"Well, you can call me Zen. Zen Haraku."
He seems nicer than yesterday.
"Well you can call me Kai."
I reply.
I wonder where Rukia is. Maybe she's sick.
I think to myself as Zen walks away. The bell rings as I start walking.
Well, time to have another slow waste of a day at school.
First I go to my algebra 2 class, then biology 2, then US History, and lastly carpentry. All of which are boring. After a boring day I was exhausted, I kept falling asleep in alot of my classes. The only class I didn't fall asleep in is US History. And the only reason is because we worked with partners and I got paired with someone who never shuts up. But I kept having dreams similar to the one I had last night. I slept passed the bell in carpentry cause everyone rushed out the door and no one woke me up.
As I walk to the front door to the school I think to myself.
Well this is lovely, gotta walk 3 miles home and I'm already exhausted.
As I walk out the door I notice Zen walking.
Isn't that Zen? He doesn't ride the bus? Weirdo.
I run to catch up with him. I run up behind him and pat him on his back. He just slowly looks over his shoulder while walking
"Oh, it's you."
I look down and see him slowly slide a pocket knife back into his waist band.
Would he really have swung a knife at me?!
I act like I don't notice the knife and keep walking. All of a sudden Zen stops moving. I stop right behind him. He stares ahead into the edge of the woods. He takes a step towards the woods and yells
"I KNOW YOU'RE BEHIND THE OAK TREE, STEP OUT."
What's this guy's problem does he really think that someone behind that tr-.
my thought gets cut off as I see someone step from behind the tree. He has long blonde hair that covers one eye and he's got ragged clothing.
Who is he?
He slowly walks out from the edge of the woods and walks toward us. Zen walks toward him and they stare at each other.
Are they going to fight? They look like they are.
They fist bump and start walking away.
"Haven't seen you in forever Vexx."
I hear Zen say as he walks away. I quickly run up to them and walk behind them. After walking for 10 minutes and listening to them talk about old times and something about a release state.
What the hell is a release. And why does this Vexx guy have it?
All of a sudden the come to a abrupt halt. I'm looking down at the ground and walk right into them. After a bump into them, I fall back onto the ground.
"Owww."
I say as I shake my head.
"Why did you stop walking, my house is just around the corner."
I say as I slowly look up. I see a creature standing in front of us staring at us.
What the hell is that thing.
It has 3 horns on top of its head, 4 eyes that are glowing red, 2 very long arms, 2 normal legs, and a long thin tail.
What is this thing?
It slowly reaches toward Vexx and Zen. Zen kicks it's hand away while Vexx just jumps away from it. Right after Zen kicks it's hand away the other hand goes and grabs Zen's leg. It picks him up high off the ground and slams him down. It lifts him up again and slams him down again, then it throws him through a tree.
God damn, this things strong.
It turns and looks at me. I quickly look around.
Wait, where did Vexx go.
I start backing up as it starts walking toward me.
"YOU'RE MINE, BRAT!"
It screams as it lunges toward me. I quickly scream.
"SHIT!"
