The moment that Blue was sure that nobody is there watching him. He quickly sneaked out of the house.
He knows Samuel probably knows where he'll be going but there's nothing wrong with trying.
Blue was able to leave the village without much troubles. Although his phone buzzed a lot because Trevor kept calling and messaging him.
He told them he needed space so they'll let him go. He was glad that Trevor assured him that he can have as much space he needed as long as he does his part of keeping himself away from people with soul.
Blue had no idea where he wants to go so he let his feet drag him to wherever it wants to go.
Soon. A heavy rainfall accompanied his lonely walk. And finally he recognized the blocks and houses around him.
The eerie silence that he put in that small suburb because of the huge incident he had caused some time ago.
Blue had gone back to his old house. Like he said earlier. It was burnt down but atleast is still looks like a house.
It's obviously off limits because of it's unstable grounds and history. But Blue decided to go in anyway.
The old memories came back to him like it was just yesterday. But as much as he want to savor the pain. He felt too dull.
He didn't even noticed that it was already evening because of how long he had walked until he arrived here.
His house is literally almost three cities away from Rhian's. Which surprisingly he travelled by feet.
Blue let out a very deep sigh he didn't know he was holding. When he turned to his left, he saw an old and burnt mirror. Seeing his own reflection from the remaining dirty pieces of it.
He looked terrible.
But atleast he was expecting that.
Blue stalked towards under the stairs. Where a small door is located. The door is already broken and half burnt. Just the same way as how he teared it down that horrible day.
Blue bit his lip as his feet slowly entered the door down to the basement.
That same basement where he was locked in ever since a kid.
Blue looked around and magically felt like he's finally home. There were almost hundreds of crosses and pages of bible stucked on four walls of the basement. Even on the remains of what is left in his 'room'.
Near the old and dirty mattress on the floor. There was a pentagram painted with pig blood. He remembers that symbol was put there when those men tried to exorcist him thinking he was possessed. And surprisingly, the chains that bounded him to the old pillars are still there too just in the middle of the pentagram.
A thunder cracked followed by a bright lightning. Blue flinched because of it and that's when he started crying.
Seeing an old memory of himself whenever there was a storm.
A boy lays down on the old mattress on the far corner of the basement.
Everytime that he hears the thunder ripping the heavenly sky. He would run to try and reach the door but would only fail because of the chains that keeps him bound to the pillar.
He screams his mother's name and won't stop until he hears her soothing voice from the other side of the door.
Blue was contented that way.
Even though he had never seen her face once when he's a child. He recognize her voice and found it the most comforting music ever in his life.
His parents never gave him a name and only called him 'son'. And yet he didn't mind. As long as he have them, that's all that matters. It was the people in his town who gave him his new name.
Blue stepped towards the pentagram and slowly crouched to hold the chains. He put it on himself and laid comfortably on the mattress with his hands now bound to the pillar.
He feels like this is the only thing that can comfort him because when he was a child, his parents made him believe that his only friend is the chain.
Because it's holding his hands and keeping him safe away from vile people. He thought that the chains are what kept him safe all this time because the world is truly cruel.
He would come back in his house from time to time even before he was saved by Rhian and Samuel. He still finds comfort in that house despite the very tragic and deadly memories of what he did to his own family.
+×+
It was Year-end and music rang all over the house. Almost all of their family members even from distant places came to their house just to celebrate the year-end.
Meanwhile. While everyone are so happy and enjoying the party upstairs.
Blue was so curious to the depths of his bones that he could no longer count how many times he had stared on the ceiling.
He could hear inaudible voices and music and he badly wants to hear them clearly.
Blue started pulling on the chains despite the pain that it causes his wrist as usual.
He called for his mother but it was too loud out there and no one will be able to hear him.
Blue made a promise to his mother that he will never disobey her and he will never leave the basement without her permission.
But he's only just a curious little boy. A boy who had never even seen a small glimpse of the world other than his own world of walls and chains.
So Blue did the very unexpected thing.
He had known for a while about his ability. Although he didn't know it was called as dark magic.
Blue was able to free himself from the chains. He never felt so free in his entire life that he wasn't able to control his legs from sprinting to the door.
He had a very uncontrolled strength because of his excitement. And that caused him to tear down the door.
Blue gasped and panicked. But his attention was quickly shifted to the loud and melodious music that now played in his ears as clear as the beautiful voice of his mother.
"M-mom..." he muttered and slowly made his way to the hallway.
It was too bright and Blue's eyes were blurring because of it. But he managed for a quick while and soon found himself inside a very huge room filled with many people in fancy combination of red and white clothings.
Blue's eyes flickered at the sight. Especially when he spotted the mouth-watering feast on a long table.
He was small so he was hardly noticed by anyone. That he didn't have any trouble of running to the table and eating like there's no tomorrow.
Everyone's too busy with their own conversations to even notice him yet.
Soon enough. Blue was full from eating. He tried to look for where the music was coming from. But unexpectedly heard a much better sound.
It was his mother's voice.
Blue felt his heart beating rapidly as he slowly turned to the door frame that leads to the terrace.
A few seconds later, two woman who were talking to each other walked back in the party. And there she is, the one wearing the red fitted dress with a white belt that perfectly hugged her small waist. She sounded exactly like her.
"Mom!!!" Blue screamed with glee and immediately ran to her. Surprising everyone in the process.
But what took them all by much further surprise. Was when Blue came to hug her mother, she suddenly fell down the floor even before she could react.
Blue was left dumbfounded. Listening at the people gasping in fear as they watch his mother's porcelain complexion. Withering away and her lashes and hair went an old white.
"Sabina??!" The woman who was just talking to her earlier called. Trying to nudge her.
But she was dead.
Everyone screamed upon realization. And soon, the so called father of the boy came at the scene.
He wailed at his dead wife while Blue just stood there confused. He had no idea what is happening around him.
Because in his very young age. He doesn't know what being dead means.
His heart ached while he watches the painful wails of his father. The people around him started crying and they were talking to a black and thin box.
Blue worried that they might leave so he made all the doors locked. Everyone became more scared and panicked.
But for Blue. He thinks they're all just afraid of what is outside. So they need a hand to comfort them.
Blue made chains appear out of nowhere. Bounding everyone alive in that room that only increased the clamoring fear.
Blue looked at his father. He was still crying and he didn't want that. He wants to comfort him. So Blue did as what he had read from his children books.
That if someone is sad. Hug is one of the best cure for it.
Blue hugged his father. As tight as he could as he also missed him and was happy to see him too.
But then his father had fallen lifeless the moment he had touched him. Just like his mother.
But Blue is still clueless. He only thinks that they are asleep and not scared anymore.
Everyone deserves that. They're all scared but they don't have to be.
The boy thought they all just needed a hug. And so one by one. He did as what he thought the best to help them. Until everyone in the room were dead.
Blue laid beside his dead parents. Staring at them with the thought that once they wake up, they'll be happy to see him.
A few minutes later. Blue heard a loud siren. He panicked when he recognized the sound similar to the red alert he read from his books.
Thinking that there is danger. Blue immediately ran back to his basement to get back to his comfort chains. He thought that the others had their own chains so they will be fine.
Blue was beyond afraid now and started calling for his mother.
But he did not expect the men carrying guns to enter his comfort zone.
They were confused at first. Thinking he was a hostage. So two of the cops tried to get him out of the chains but the sooner they held him, both of them fell dead.
It caused a very terrific and a high-level alert.
Blue became stucked in that basement while random and unknown men started coming to check and study him.
Blue liked none of it. He just wanted to see his parents but they told him that they're all dead. And thatis because of him.
For years. They told Blue that he murdered his own entire family. And taught him what being dead means.
With years passing by and Blue finally learns what had happened. It totally broke him and he became so anxious and depressed. But most of all. He was angry.
And that anger took the best of him. He ended up killing everyone in the house with just a single wave of his black mists. All of their studies about him were all deleted and back to zero.
Blue came out of his house. And did not expect to see people clamoring due to the sudden power outage after of what the boy did.
They had heard rumours about what Blue did to his family. So the moment they saw him, they tried to put him back in the basement.
But Blue refused to go back.
He didn't want to hurt them but they became very hostile. So Blue let his anger took control again.
And killed those people that tried to get on his way.
He thought he found freedom from escaping that town. He lived alone to the next one. But the pain and memories hunted him down like his own demons and he had no idea of how to control himself.
He always find himself ending in a fight but mostly killing all of them despite not wanting it all.
All the souls he had stolen. He didn't want all of it because he just wanted to be free. Like every other human.
It happened for years until he finally arrived at Rhian's city.
It was his last straw and thought that he really had no other path in his life.
He felt like his world is filled with death and murders.
He wanted to atleast try to do what most of his same age people do. And that is studying college.
Blue enrolled himself without further troubles by using his magic. It's only just a day anyway so why not use his power for the last time.
Yes. He had lied to Trevor when he said that he didn't used his dark magic to kill when the truth is he did.
He was afraid that Trevor will hate him. And he might end up losing his probably first and last real friend.
That day. Before Blue walked to the rooftop. He had a dream about a winged human in a white robe.
He said many words that atleast comforted his weary heart. But it wasn't enough to convince him away from his suicide plan.
Because not once in his life. He never felt any need of him to be alive for anyone in the world.
Blue feels like he was an excess. He feels like he's only just an accident to be alive when he really shouldn't be.
He killed many innocent people. So maybe killing himself will finally make everything right as it should be.
+×+
Blue fluttered his eyes open only to find himself under heavy sobs. He's starting to dream everything again from square one.
It was so hard to trick his mind that he had moved on.
But with the fight that he had with Rhian. And now that he seems to have lost her too.
His mind seems to be waking up on its own. Tearing him down apart again.
Blue sat up and looked at the door. Just as the thunder cracked again, Blue flinched and screamed his mother's name and ran attempting to reach the door. And yet the bound kept him in place just like it did before.
Eventually he stopped.
It was too torturous that the only thing he can do now is cry and engulf his own self pathetically.
I promised Trevor I'd stay alive....
And I also promised my mom that I will never leave....
I think I failed to keep them both....
