CinderCole

Someone Is Branching Out

Cole tossed and turned in his bed, clutching the scythe he had found in one of his step-siblings bedrooms in his sleep. 

Two figures slid quietly down the passage ways and one of them used her powers to fry the bars on his window and both of them jumped in. Cole heard the noise and brandished his scythe, only to discover they were his friends and dropped it in surprise. 

 "What the heck?!" The startled boy shouted. "Do I want to know why you are waking me up?"

 "Well, the first figure explained, a young android girl with silver hair and green eyes named Pixal. We had simply wanted to spend some time with you before you were to be used as a slave by that cruel man."

 "I understand that, Cole replied, but I much liked the dream I was having. 

 I was brave and strong, and able to stand up for myself and the Geckles and Munce, Gleck and Murt, and Murtessa don't deserve this any more than I do, I was able to be a hero! Maybe that dream will happen," The teenager finished as he broke into song.

Cole: A dream is a wish your makes

When you're fast asleep

In you will your heartache

Whatever you wish for, you keep

Have in your and someday

Your will come through

No how your is grieving

If you keep on believing

The that you wish will come true 

No how your is grieving 

If you keep on believing

The that you wish will come true

Cole sighed and watched his friends clap, "Brava! Brava!" The girl in orange with red hair named Skylor called out. "That was great! but Cole just looked down.

 "Well," he said "I'm going to have to get ready for the day," and the two girls darted down the passage as Cole put on his rags the best he could with hands chained behind his back, when he saw the girls had come back and Skylor was playing with his scythe that wasn't actually his. 

 He ran over whisper screaming, "Put that down! It needs to go back into Lloyd's room so I don't get into trouble!" 

 He didn't bother saying he would be in trouble either way, when Skylor suddenly realized, "You stole it? Didn't you? I knew you had it in you!"

 Cole felt his cheeks turn pink, "I didn't steal it! I just borrowed it, to learn how to fight, and then I was going to give it right back." But all that was shoved under the rug when the three teenagers heard the gong ring. 

 Gleck ran in and when he saw Cole, he muttered franticly, you have to get there right now! Cole sighed again and went to his morning routine, he made three large extravigant breakfast platters when he saw his friends.  

He couldn't wave to them because someone might notice, but he hoped they had the sense to hide before they were seen. Cole started into Nya's room, who was very angry already. 

 "Ugh! She shouted, "Can you be any slower?!" "Some of us have important things to do, and are not slaves!" 

Okay, that hit low, the estate had been supposed to go to Cole, but somehow, Vangelis, who called him self the scull sourscerer, had gotten a hold of it instead.

 Nya continued, saying, "And this junk tastes nasty too!" In truth, it was very good, but they told him that so much he thought he was a bad cook. "Make yourself usefull and wash my gis!" She sneered, throwing A huge pile of fancy, dimond incrusted Gis at the young boy, and it was hard for him to catch them as his hands were chained behind his back.

 "Yes, silver ninja," He replied, which was another thing, they always forced him to call them by ridiculus titles. After he left Lloyds room with another huge pile of green Gis, not exactly sure how he carried them but whatever, He entered his step-fathers room.  

Vangellis excamined the food in a huff and without even bothering to eat it, tossed it to the floor. "Boy!" Have you finished all your work?"  

"Yes scull sorcerer, Cole replied shaking, when suddenly Lloyd  and Nya rushed into the room, and Cole's stomach crawled into his throught when he saw they were dragging in Pixal and Skylor by their hair. 

He rushed to help, but the point of a sword was placed at his throught. Vangellis replied sweetly. "Young ladies, surely your fathers taught you better than to break into people's houses and associate with low lives.  

Skylor was about to shout at something very nasty indeed, but Cole spoke first. "It was my fault sir. Nya responded with a smug smile, well then, was it your fault you window was burned to a crisp as well?" 

 Cole had forgotten about that, but he replied yes. Vangellis then continued in his sickly sweet tone, "children, let us be nice to our guests," and Skylor and Pixal were released. 

 The vile man then showed him to the exit, saying encouraging thing like it will all be fine dears, but they didn't believe that for one second. When vangellis came back in, he was shouting. 

"CinderCole! you will behave while under my roof!" He then took out a strap made out of vengestone, and you probably know what happen next, but Cole did not scream, he refused to give his tormenter the satisfaction. 

 Afterward, Cole was locked in his room with chains around his legs as well and was given no food or water that day.
