The Star Story (Ortega X OC) (Team Star Fanfic)

A Large Backstory, a Entire Book's Worth

Journal Entry One, Current Age 7

My parents just had a new kid! I have a brother now!

——————————
NINE YEARS AGO                (Flashback)
——————————

I watched in disbelief as my parents walked into the house, my mom was holding a small bundle, "Phantom, this is your brother, his name is Allister." My dad said nervously, I stood on my tip-toes to get a better look at Allister, his eyes were the same as mine, except, they were glowing, "Does he have the curse on his eyes?" I ask in a high pitched voice, my mom answers, "Yes. Phantom, you are still the unfortunate member of our family, the only one with the 'Curse of The War of Respect' placed on your hands." She says, I shrug and look down at my hands, my parents had not yet let me have gloves, apparently they wanted me to stop growing before I got them, so I had to be fed instead of feeding myself, which of course was not to my liking, but I had no choice.

END OF ENTRY ONE

I flip to the next page, those first pages were boring, as they mostly explained stuff about the curse, rather than Allister, my brother, I wrote the journal in a odd way, I would only write one entry a year, unless something interesting had happened.

Journal Entry Two, Current Age 8

I did not really like having a younger sibling at first, and right now I still don't, but I don't really have a choice.

EIGHT YEARS AGO         (Flashback)

I look around impatiently, I was bored and I was outside, I can't really even do anything since my hands are cursed, I was watching Allister with my dad, who was not really paying much attention to either of us, I turn my head back around to see Allister walking! He was walking for the curses sake! "Dad! He's walking!" I shout at my dad, he looks up at Allister and smiles, "I can't believe he is just now doing this! I think that your mom won't be too happy though, considering she's inside!" He laughs, I turn back around though when my dad looks back down at his book, I watch Allister toddle along the grass, suddenly though, he reached the edge that met our concrete driveway, I gasped and rushed towards him, as soon as I reached him, he fell, is head was falling towards the concrete, I dove to catch him, I let myself dive a bit farther than the normal person would, since my hands would be useless for catching him, instead, my forearms caught him before he hit the ground, I landed though and started skidding slightly, on the concrete, I took a sharp intake of breath as I felt a stabbing pain shoot into my knees, I hear my dad gasp and footsteps pounding towards me and Allister, I smile and look down at him, he had a mask too, not at all like mine, but he did have one.

END OF ENTRY TWO

I sigh and finish reading the page, I remembered that time, I then thought of something, how was I writing these if my hands were cursed? Oh wait I remember, I had that pen that one of my parents Pokémon allowed me to be able to touch. I smile, and flip to the next page, hopefully it would be happier than the last.

Journal Entry Three, Current Age 10

I turned ten! This entry isn't even about my birthday but whatever! I'm a preteen now!

SEVEN YEARS AGO          (Flashback)

My dad was teaching me about my family in about the most boring way possible, "Our family values knowledge, and we will always outclass the never-cursed in intelligence." he says, I nod and realize that Allister is waddling towards me, I look at him, he hadn't been able to say my name ever since he had been able to form his first words, and short sentences, "Phhhh-a," he says, me and my dad stare at him, careful to not miss this moment, "Phha-ntum," he says again, "Phantom..?" he says questioningly, my eyes light up, he said my name properly!
