Pheinx

Chapter 1

Anger boiled in me like a volcano about to burst. I sat up forgetting that I had a bunk bed I banged my head on the metal bars.

I smiled as the familiar sent got stronger. I turned the corner and ran strait in to Tex. He was a tough man with a good build. His six pack was incredible and he could pick up a dumpster. He had brown hair and wore a faded grey Elvis Presley shirt he found In a dumpster. He grinned as he said "Took you long enough!" And slapped me on the back."What took you so long Phenix?" Scorpion asked cheerfully. Today he wore a black shirt and white jeans. He had a big grin on his face. He was our light in the darkness, the light guides us. Scorpion was always in a good mood.

Honestly our gang needs Scorpion. I don't know what we would do if he was gone... we would probably go our separate ways. I think of him as a kid brother I always wanted. Kind, friendly, positive but the thing... is he ain't tough. He is the youngest and he is only 14. the rest of us are 16-18.

I smirked as I said "sup, where's Atlas?"

"I'm over here."

I looked at the building and saw Atlas In the shadows. He was slender and pale with jet black hair. He wore all black. It was his usual. He was a silent guy and always out of the sun when he could. I don't know why he does what he does.

The shadows of the building covered his expression.

I was happy to see them.

"Hey what about me!" I spun around and In the middle of the allyway was a ginger haired boy. He had choclate brown eyes. He was definitely the most handsome person I have ever seen. He walked over to us and said "sup phenix"

I responded "how you do'in Royce?"

"I'm doin perfect"he said in a cheerful voice"how about ya?"

"I'm doin fine" I answered in a casual voice.

I liked Royce because he treated us all like brothers. To us we were brothers.

I looked around at the ally there where three dumpsters and us, so it was pretty empty. For some reason I felt like we where being watched... it was the same feeling you get right before you get shots. "Dude"Scorpion said, that snapped me out of it "you good?"

There was a silence then I realized he was talking to me.I Answered "Yeah I'm good but i have a funny feeling-"

"...like we're be'in watched" Tex finished "I had the same feeling" we all edged our way out of the allyway.

I thought it was weird that Tex knew what i was going to say. he usually wait's till the person stops talking before talking... I walked silently with Tex for a block, then,

He said "That was weird. I felt like I could hear your thoughts..." he cairied on "I heard a distress signal and then I heard your voice but your lips were shut."

his lips quivered as he said "I'm scared Phenix,i don't know how or why that happened" his breathing got heavy and the tough man i once knew was trapped in his mind trying to process what happen- "something not right, i hear voices behind us but Atlas, Scorpion, and Royce were in front of us."Tex told me, I had the urge to turn around but i had to resist. Suddenly hands rapped around my mouth and i kicked and thrashed and used all my might to get away. Tex on the other hand was fighting them off like a pro. suddenly, something sharp hit my skin and i stopped kicking. i couldent move and i started to fell tired. It took some time to realize I was sedated.
