I glumly stared at my iPhone screen, as emails keep pouring in and I sighed, tired and exhausted I couldn't even keep my eyes open anymore but then I refused to sleep because if I go to sleep, those haunting dreams would invade my mind, dreams of wolves chasing a woman who I could not see her face but seemed eerily familiar and dreams of lightning and a silhouette of a "T" shaped weapon spinning round, sometimes i would dream of a red headed man with full red beard who seemed to be shouting at me to kill them all but what I could not understand was why this dreams kept repeating every time i closed my eyes.
Well that's how my depressing my life is for a fourteen-year old boy and my name is....well I guess that's not important anyway, you would probably not have heard about me before, ok let me just say it. My name is Liam Axel, son of.....well I never knew my mom or my dad I am just a regular orphan, I currently live with a crazy lady, a crazy old grandma and a crazy dog all of them simply too crazy for me to understand and as if right on cue, the door to my room burst open and the crazy lady poked her head in hand yelled out "Grandma ma Ann needs her doll, help her find it and drop that phone."
I scowled stubbornly before forcing a fake smile, "Why does grandma Ann keeps misplacing her dolls Aunty Sara, she should probably tie it to herself" those words left my mouth before I could ponder them and I cursed myself. Aunty Sara narrowed her eyes in rage and stepped into the room, in two quick strides she had crossed the room and grabbed my shirt and hoisted me above the ground, this wasn't the first time that this happened and it left me always suspicious of how a lady like her(though she was muscular) could lift a boy like me because I wasn't short or frail either, at five foot five for an fourteen year old would make me weigh much but she still hoisted me up like a sack of hay and choked me, her face looked menacing and deadly and I desperately punched her arm for air, but it merely look like she was taking punches and I stated to get angry, suddenly I kicked hard in her shin and she went hurtling backwards like she has been hit by a truck and I stood in shock, "Am so sorry I didn't me....." I started but her murderous look stopped me and in blur she was across the room and gave me a punch which should not be meant for a fourteen year old boy like me, but I only staggered back and she look stunned that her punch had not affected me that much, my subsiding anger slowly started building up, turning into rage and outside the sky darkened and lightning flashed in the sky as thunder rumbled and a bolt of lightning dropped down to the spot where she was standing striking me and she at the same time, but the strange thing was that I was unharmed even my clothes were perfectly fine but she was thrown backwards and landed close to the door, smoke rising from her motionless body. I was completely miffed, that bolt didn't harm me and how did a perfectly clear, sunny sky suddenly turned into to thunderclouds and why did the bolt drop here? in my musings I didn't notice Aunty Sara get up and I turned to late to see her fist coming too fast, right for my face
âĄď¸âĄď¸âĄď¸âĄď¸âĄď¸
I groaned and opened my eyes and discovered I was still in my room laying down on the bed, my body felt fine, like it hadn't taken a beating hours ago, I sighed, who the hell was Aunty Sara, she literally was unnatural, maybe I was dreaming.
"Bet you're are thinking this is all a dream" Aunty Sara voice interrupted my thoughts and I spun around to find her sitting in a chair, like me she was not looking like a bolt of lightning had hit her at all, I narrowed my eyes and sat on the edge of the bed facing her.
"This is real?" I asked, "I mean, you charging at me supersonic speed and the skies sending lightning at you and me."
Aunty Sara glared at me her dark eyes hardened and i tensed then suddenly she burst out into laughter, doubling and I stared at her surprised that Aunty Sara of all people could laugh, she was always scowling at me most of the time. She stopped laughing and grinned, "Your father would be proud of you, boy" she said at those words my body froze, did she just mention...., her expression turned solemn as she saw the look on my friend. "Yes boy, I know your father."
"Who is he" I whispered and she turned away her beautiful face was suddenly anguished , she turned back to stared at me and for the first time since I saw her, her usually stoic face suddenly softened.
"Oh Liam when the time is right I would tell you, I promise, just have..." she started but she must have seen the murderous look on my face, thunder rumbled outside clearing my anger and immediately as my anger subsided, the dark sky suddenly brightened and I narrowed my eyes, I turned to woman in front of me and I asked, "Why does the sky darken when I am angry and thunder rumbles, it happened twice now." Aunty Sara turned her face way avoiding my gaze. "Does it have something to do with my dad?" I pressed, she turned sharply as that and grabbed my hands surprising me, Aunty Sara didn't do touchy-feely stuff.
"See Liam, none of this matters now" she said and my anger started rising and I removed my hands from hers, I stared at her hard, clenching my jaw to keep myself from losing control.
"Tell me who my dad is now" my voice cut have cut glass and Aunty Sara noticed this and her face started hardening.
"Listen here boy I would not have you...âŚ
"TELL ME!" I yelled and thunder rumbled sharply outside the entire sky around us turned completely dark, lightning flashed in the sky, Aunty Sara noticed this and nodded
"Fine! Don't just faint when I tell you" she mumbled, "Your father is the god Thor, god of lightning, thunder, of strength, war"
I stood in shock, "You mean Thor in the movies, Chris Hemsworth" and Aunty Sara rolled her eyes.
"No silly, that's fake I mean the real Norse god, not some blond guy wearing a costume, your father is a red haired man."
*Red haired man* that's the man in my dreams. And well the good news: I did faint
