Moonlight Reverie

Chapter I-1: Evangel Patriarch

*Evangel's P.O.V.*

My alarm clock rang.

I groaned loudly and drowsily pressed the snooze button without taking my head off the pillow. We just moved in 2 nights ago, and now I have to deal with going to school at 5 in the morning, for the sake of not missing any classes. I used to be in Florida before I came here, to Las Vegas.
Swell. Now I have to get used to how stuff goes around here, AND catch up at school with only TWO rest days.

Oh sure, seems like enough rest for you, but we've been preparing for the move for a week. By the time we got here, we hastily arranged the furniture and took a rest. And by we I mean me and my little sister, Lucy. Before I forget, my name's Evangel C. Patriarch. My sister's name is Lucy Patriarch. I'm 17, 4 years older than my sister. My dad, Vincente Patriarch, took to bars and is flooding his trap by, obviously, beer, ever since my mother died. He used to be a kind and loving father; now he's an abusive, foul mouthed, booze hungry wretch, barely dressed in anything but an undershirt and boxers.

I took it upon myself to care for my little sister, and protect her from my dad, because when he sees one of us, he showers us with I guess the rudest insults and rants you'll ever hear a father say to his child.. If he ain't foul mouthing us, he'd be beating us black and blue with anything in sight, often me getting beaten up. Because of that, I can tolerate pain better than normal people can. Mind over matter, you see.

But being honest, I'm not really a normal human being. I can use telekinesis proficiently, channel the energy in my body and use it as chi (no kidding) change my body into solid shadows, gleaming a faint maroon. My senses are ten times stronger than normal humans, and I'm a lot stronger and can run faster than normal. In my "shadow" form, I can do so many things. Create things out of shadows, travel by poofing into a black cloud and flying around, teleport, shape shift, and a lot more. Sounds like I'm all powerful huh? Nah. I can only shift to my shadow form while I'm at least in a shade. The darker it is, the more powerful I become. I don't burn in sunlight or die like a movie vampire, no. My shadows just become less solid and more gaseous; steamy looking, depending on how dark it was when I shifted.

I should get up now, though.

I dragged my body off the bed, and opened the door to go to Lucy's room, which is just beside mine. It's gonna be a long day~

Hey guys. This is part of the Chapter was mainly for giving you a background on Evangel. The story will resume on the second part of the chapter. Skipping other bits of character backgrounds for some other time. Well, see ya all next time!
