Zendrick's Mind P.O.V
I was on the ground, barely able to move. My bones were aching with me struggling to sit up as someone had placed a staff right by me. "Say the word…" I looked up to see a woman with dark brown hair and deep blue eyes, she would look down at me glaring. "No, we don't have to do this!" I said panting softly, with me on my knees, till she used the staff to hit my left leg causing me to fall. "Say the damn word!" She yelled with her slamming her foot down on my left arm, with me yelling out in pain. "I may need you to say the word, but I won't hesitate to break your bones till you do!" She said grinding her foot into my arm, causing me to yell out in pain slowly feeling my left arm's bones breaking. "Say it now!" I looked up at her, growling softly. "No! I won't!" I would use my right hand to grab her leg and throw her off of my left arm. She would crash into a nearby building, falling onto the ground and dropping the staff. I would start to stand up gripping my arm, I could feel the bones in my arm nearly broken. "I don't know what happened to you… we used to be friends…" I said, with me now standing, and her slowly getting up. "I was hoping that someday we could have been more…" I felt tears forming in my eyes. "Why… What changed you!?" I yelled as she eventually stood up glaring at me. "You think I changed? It's you who changed!" She would yell as she held out her hand, with the staff flying back to her. "What happened to all the rage you had?!" She continued to yell, as she grabbed the staff when it got close enough. "Why didn't you use that rage when you needed it the most!?" She slammed down the staff causing the ground to shake. "Why did you betray me!?" She yelled, I could hear her voice breaking. I would sigh, facing her as tears would go down my face. "You want me to say the word… Fine, I will." I slowly breathed in as the air around me heated up slowly evaporating the tears that were rolling down my face. She aimed the staff at me as it started to glow. I slowly exhaled as I opened my mouth, with Fire bursting around me. "Hazen!"
Zendrick's P.O.V
I quickly sat up in my bed sweating like crazy, I was breathing a bit heavily looking around my room to see a red room. I looked at my anime posters, and my desk for school work, and wrote in my journal. I placed my hand on my forehead wiping away the sweat. "Again with that dream…" I thought with me sighing, my breathing started to slow down a bit. I would once again begin looking around my room seeing my posters, my desk right under my window "Why do I keep having that dream… and why does that word keep standing out." I said to myself I sighed and got out of bed walking to my mirror and looking at myself. "Hazen, wonder what it means." I turned to walk to my dresser to grab clothes for work. I looked out my window once I grabbed my clothes, seeing the sunrise. "What am I doing getting worked up over a dream, I need to get ready for work." I went to my door opened it, and walked out of my room to the bathroom to change. After changing I would grab my toothbrush with my toothpaste, and start brushing my teeth. After about a minute I would be done, I would look in the mirror seeing my face. I had black hair, and my eyes were a crimson red shade, and even though my family's eyes are all blue I'm the only one with red eyes. I looked down at my clothes to see a red shirt with a black jacket around it black pants and red shoes. I smiled, turning to walk out of the bathroom and rushing back to my room to grab my phone. Once I grabbed it, I would walk downstairs hearing a voice. "Took you long enough, you're going to be late!" I turned to the voice to see a young woman, who was wearing a purple shirt, and black pants, her hair was black with some purple dyed in. Her eyes were a bright blue, I would sigh walking toward her. "Your one to talk, you don't even have a job yet Hazel." I said as she looked like she was about to say something but couldn't think of anything to say. "Exactly." I would ruffle her hair gently, as I couldn't help but smile. "Hey! Stop that, your messing up my hair!" She said as she pushed my hand away, grumbling a bit fixing her hair. I couldn't help but laugh slightly, causing Hazel to notice. "Don't laugh at me! Your not a nice brother you know!" I still was slightly laughing as I managed to say. "Yeah yeah, sure I'm not." I would look at the clock on the wall seeing it's 8:58 am. "Shit, you were right! I am going to be late!" I would say quickly grabbing the stuff I needed and heading to the door. "Now don't be late for school ok? We're having your favorite for dinner tonight." I heard her say "Okay! I'm looking forward to it." I could hear her excitement and her footsteps running upstairs, as I closed the front door.
I covered my face a bit to block the sunlight, till my eyes were adjusted to it. Once my eyes adjusted I would look around to see a few buildings, I live in a small town, that's barely known. It's not even on any map you can find. "I should get going so I'm not late, well more late than I'm going to be." I thought quickly rushing down the street, since it's within walking distance I don't use my car. While walking I got a phone call, so I grabbed my phone and answered it. "Am I talking to Zendrick?" I sighed knowing what this was about. "Yes and for the final time the answer is no, I'm not selling my store." I swore I heard the voice on the phone talk to someone else, then whoever was calling me started speaking. "I hope you know that with our help we could make your store become the best version that it could be." I was starting to get slightly annoyed so I would say. "For the FINAL time, I will not sell my Store! Get that through your damn heads!" I yelled ending the call as I noticed people were slightly looking at me. I was about to say something till someone wrapped their arm around my neck. "Hey there Buddy!" I quickly looked to my side to see my best friend Kade. Kade was a young man who had brown hair, and green eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt, black pants, and white shoes. "You really shouldn't let your temper get the best of you." Kade would say, with me sighing. I knew he was right, it's just recently since I had these dreams I had a strange feeling in my heart. Like something was changing, and ever since I had that feeling I felt my anger build up much easier. "Yeah I know Kade, it's just these people won't give up on trying to get me to sell my store." He just chuckled a bit as I faced him. "What's so funny?" He would just smile as he moved his arm off me, with him walking forward. "It's nothing, come on let's go." He said turning around, slightly walking backwards, smiling. "We don't want to be late for work now do we?" I sighed, nodding knowing he was right. "Yeah, true, don't wanna piss off Victoria again by being late." I started to walk down the sidewalk as Kade was still walking backward like an idiot. "Why are you scared of her?" He said, chuckling softly, turning around, walking normally now. "I am not scared of her! It's just." I sighed, as we were passing a small grocery store that I usually go to. "I just want to make sure to not mess up my chances is all." I could hear Kade laugh a bit as I glared at him. "Mind telling me what's so funny?" He would quickly stop laughing as he tried his best to keep a straight face. "Victoria is way out of your league like you two getting together would be a miracle in the universe." I would continue to glare at him as we reached our job. "Keep talking like that, and you may not have a job much longer." I said with a bit of a smirk on my face, walking inside. I could hear Kade say as he followed. "You're joking right?" He said nervously. "Right?" I stopped and looked at him smirking. "Wanna find out?" I said, but before Kade or I could say anything, I was hit on the back of my head. I would quickly turn around saying. "Ow, Who the hell did th-"
I gulped seeing a young woman with Dark Brown hair, and the most beautiful shade of blue eyes. Her hair would reach down to her waist as she wore a beautiful dark red dress that had a little trail in the back above her knees. She wore a black short sweater, I would be looking at her not knowing what to say. "Why am I not surprised to see you late, both of you? We have a schedule to keep!" I still didn't know what to say, as Kade spoke up. "We're sorry ma'am, we got a bit lost on our way up here." The young woman sighed. "For one, that excuse is getting old. Two I told you to call me Victoria, and that goes for both of you." She said in a serious tone as she looked at us both. "I'm nowhere near old enough to be called ma'am." she said walking to the store, it was a small bakery called Mama, Me and Kade would walk in, and Victoria would just toss us our eat-the-cookie apron, I would laugh a bit looking at the apron, it never failed to make me laugh, so unique, I would put the apron on while Kade did the same, the bakery would have chairs and tables outside. It would serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sell special request cookies/cakes. The bakery would always make someone feel warm, welcoming whoever walked through those doors, so relaxed it was just being with my own mom in the kitchen, I would smile as I clocked in. "Zendrick, come help me get some stuff here, Kade make sure we have all the ingredients for today" Victoria would say as she went to the back of the store, making sure I would be following her.
Victoria's P.O.V
I would walk with Zendrick outside to the back of the store, there were already packages there, new equipment, and such. "I bought some new things to make things easier, what do you think?" I asked, looking at Zendrick, he would be looking down at the packages. "How much was this? Did we even have the money to get it?" he asked, he would look at me but quickly looked away. He seemed to want to avoid me, he has been doing that since a month ago. "It's quite in the budget, last week it was a very hot week so-" I smiled at him as I kneeled down to attempt to pick up one of the boxes, it was quite heavy, "Shit, it's heavy. Why do they have to be so heavy?" I sighed, giving up and getting up, turning to face Zendrick. "Think you can carry these?" I asked and noticed he wasn't there. I looked to see where the boxes were, seeing that some weren't there. I noticed that Zendrick had come back and would pick up a box like it was nothing, well he seemed to be having a bit of trouble but he made it seem so easy. 'Well then, aren't you strong, Working out?' I asked, smiling at him while picking up one of the less heavy boxes, doing my best to carry it to storage. "Not really, I haven't really worked out." He said which shocked me because, with the weight of the boxes, no one who doesn't work out should be having more trouble. "I have kinda been strong my whole life, I kinda had to be." We would continue to carry the boxes, well more as Zendrick did, they were heavy as hell. I could barely carry one but while we were moving the boxes, I tripped on something causing me to nearly fall. Before I could hit the ground I was caught by Zendrick which caused the other box he was carrying to fall, his arms would be around my waist, looking down at me, I would look up at him for a moment, silence, pure awkwardness. I would get my footing back and stand up, looking at Zendrick. "Thank you Zendrick for catching me." I saw him blush a bit as he nervously said. "I-It was nothing, I know you would have done the same." The way he was acting made me laugh. "Though if you wanted to hold me all you could've done was ask Zendrick." I said teasing the poor guy, Zendrick would still be blushing but smiled back at me. "I'm sorry, I just..reacted I guess?' He said, still awkward, it was only then I saw the box that fell, I would open the box to see if anything broke, luckily nothing did. I sighed in relief, I would sit the box up and make sure it was still sealed shut.
After checking, I would face Zendrick and say. "So you're going to make me pick that up?" He looked confused so I would point to the box that was on the ground, with him turning around. "O-Oh right." He would pick up the box, and start to carry it to storage. I smiled, once Zendrick returned we heard the front doorbell ring. "Well, it looks like the customers are here," I said as Zendrick would nod. "We better get up there. Can't have Kade alone in there." I looked at Zendrick smiling before walking up to the Kitchen. "Yeah, true. He might eat everything before we can sell it." I laughed a bit, thinking it was probably true, I would hear footsteps behind me. I smiled, as Zendrick smiled back gently, with us both walking into the Kitchen to start the day.
