The Soul Gem

Chapter Two: Candy Bars and Superheros

Frank woke up in the cab of the moving truck. He didn't remember falling asleep. His dad must've carried him from the back. That was the last place he remembered being. "Well hello there! Good morning! How was your nap?" Although Frank liked his dad's cheery attitude he sometimes got annoyed with him.

"Dad, don't treat me like a child." he scowled at him. "I do so if I please." he said back "Oh. I bought you this." He handed him a milky way. Frank thanked his dad for the candy. He even over looked the fact that his dad buying him candy was also treating him like he was a child again.

He hadn't eaten in an eternity or at least it seemed. The chain around his neck suddenly grew warmer. "We're getting near him" Frank said out of nowhere. His dad looked at him and nodded.

Gerard felt his pocket grow warmer. "Fuck" he sighed. He didn't need some boy getting in his way. This comic book was almost done. If only that boy could just stay put for a little longer. With his luck, there would be some boy on his doorstep any second.

"I got it!" He exclaimed. He crumpled up his old papers. He quickly sketched out a girl with purple hair, a cyborg of sorts, and a woman-instrument hybrid. This is it. He didn't particularly didn't like super hero comics. They were too generic. But this idea was gold. He got an idea for two more characters. He drew two pinkish cute animal costumes.

"This. Is. Gold." he thought "not purple."
