The Stars that Live Underground

Ch.1 -Please-

Silent. That's all he could hear... the silence. His dark-green forest eyes darted the room, hoping for it all to end. The silence seemed too loud but yet the smallest noise alerted him even more. Tears washed his light-toned skin on his face, he was tired yet he was awake. He could hear whispers telling him stuff but were too quiet. The whispers got louder until he could hear clearly. "Wake up, and see the stars that are planted deep in the ground...Wake up."

The boy jolted up from his slumber, rubbing eyes he realized he was crying. His breathing was somewhat uneven, eyes slightly puffy, shaking slightly. Taking deep breaths and looking for his phone that was somewhere on the nightstand. He checked the time, 2:30. His eyes widened and he sighed. Groaning , he got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The warm water traveled to dark-red hair and down his naked body. His body was littered with scars and bruises, a long scar was across his stomach. He wanted to scream and shout for help but every time he wanted to he couldn't.  He was scared. Getting out of the shower feeling somewhat fresh, he put on his school clothes and grabbed his belongings. 

Walking to school was lonely but somewhat peaceful. He decided to put his earbuds in and listen to music. Walking up to the gate that leads to the school he goes to. Thinking he should've grabbed coffee before heading to school but again he's poor. Sitting at the bench near the school gate waiting for school to start. He started to think about how his mom thinks he was just in phase he will soon be out of. His father would never look at him straight on, and call him "Ria" instead of his name he wanted to be called "Roy".  His grandparents however were very open to the idea or so he thought, they did use his name until his parents interfered. He was so spaced-out that he didn't even notice a little boy walking up with tear-stains on his face. "S-sir.." Ray getting startled and slightly jumping. "Yes?" Ray said with slight concern, wondering where the little boy's parents are.  "I've wost my momma an' I'm scared.." the boy sobbed. Roy stood up and held out his hand, "Lets go find her then but you have to lead me where you first got lost."  

-----1--hours--Later------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Walking down the sidewalk towards a small park, suddenly the boy stopped and started clutching on Roy's pants. "What's wrong?"  Roy asked, the young one pointed at a woman with blonde hair and hazel eyes, wearing a blue dress with a pocket. The dress wasn't very detailed, the only that was noticeable was the small flower in the pocket. The flower was purple to a pretty shade of light blue on the petals, and yellow center but the center looked like...a star?  'I don't get it...why is he scared of the woman?'  "She might help.." he said, while Roy looked at him confused but he nodded and agreed. For some reason he felt overwhelmed but he did it anyways..for the boy. Walking somewhat slowly towards the lady who was just standing, waiting for us. She has a small smile that sends a wave of calm towards Ray. She looked kind, and calm. Once the two approached the women, she looked at the boy with a smile and a little chuckled. "You know...I think that's cheating." She said with a giggle. Ray was now beyond confused and tried to say something but the boy rolled his eyes, while speaking. "Well, how else was I supposed to do it?" Ray was stunned, before finally speaking up. "Uh, what the fuck is happening!?" He said a bit loudly to catch their attention. "Oh, well..my name is Spark and his name is Leo but he's usually a bit taller, and older. I'm guessing you are oblivious to what is happening but that's okay, we will explain once we get to a place called 'The Stars'...It's technically a farm to grow stars." Roy was stunned out of his mind, "B-but isn't impossible to grow ...Stars??" He said sounding worried about how this happening and what was happening.

Leo and Spark laughed and Leo started to say "Yes, it is..but that's on earth. We need to go to our portal and go to our world where we create the stars ourselves. It's hard work, yes but in the end...hard work pays off and helps us. Alright, lets get this show on the road!" Roy was so stunned that he didn't even consider that he need to go school but as they started to walk, Ray started putting the pros and cons together. He got bullied at school but he had one good friend and he was doing good in grades, but his parents don't really care about him to the point to where they were abusive and yelled at him to do work for him. Although his grandparents are coming over this weekend, they were surprisingly really nice and respected him. He decided he would go with them, this was a once in a lifetime...but what if they lied to him and just played around. At least he'll have a small adventure even if they were joking and if they were playing a prank. Heck, he didn't even know them, they were just two strangers.

Hours, it felt like hours. They were walking in complete silence , suddenly Spark started to hum. Mumbling before singing a out loudly.

"Wake up, my sweet darling 

Lets see the stars float above us

Wake up, my sweet darling

Nightmares will soon consume you

so wake up, sweet darling

for the world is waiting for you to

wake up, my sweet, sweet darling 

don't go beyond the clouds just yet

there's more to discover..

then pain and regret

and 

soon you'll find happiness

So please sweet darling..don't go beyond the stars

don't try, don't try, your beautiful inside

Oh sweet darling, please...Oh please

Wake up, my sweet darling 

Please wake up from your dreams in the...stars.

Please."
