Chapter 10: A New Me (Hopes prov)

   For the record, Dante didn't have the chance to kill me. Thank God. Still, my dad and him fought then out of know here they both vanished  for three hours. When dad came back he was in strange armor and his eyes were an awkward green with a hint of blue and his hair reached across his face. Scarred I strode frozen. My dad saw me and his eyes widened. He knew I was scarred.

"Hope, calm down, don't freak out." He tried to touch me but I darted away. 

"Don't touch me!" I screamed. What was he? What happened to him? This questions kept a constant ring in my head. I ran up the stairs and into my room.

"HOPE!" I could hear my dad call but I ignored him my heart and very being shivering in fright. A minute later Mom came in.

"Hope. You saw your father didn't you?" I nodded unable to utter a word. She came over a pet my head.

"Did he scare you Hope?" She asked. I nodded. She did a small laugh.

"You look like a baby that just got the scarring of his life. Did he scare you that much." I bobbed my head once more unable to still find the strength in my voice to speak.

"I'm sorry." She cooed stopping the brush of her soft hand to give my forehead a small kiss. At that point I felt enough courage to talk.

"Mom. Whats wrong with our family? be honest. Do we have a family decease that is bad that I don't know about?" My mom just laughed.

"Mom why are you laughing? I'm being  serious. Why did dad look like animal and how long did you know because I know, you know exactly what I'm talking about." She smirked.

"You'll see. When you towards your destiny. You'll understand why you father looked like a "animal" but our family has  nothing wrong with it Hope. I can tell you that much."  She informed. I let a tear brush on her leg.

"I'm so confused." I snipped. Mom hugged me with all her might.

"I know. Just hang in there trust me life will be worth living soon." Just then my cell phone rung. I answered.

"Hello, you got Hope on the line." 

"Hey Henderson." Said the voice. I realize that voice from anywhere raspy, but in another way straight forward. Asher's voice. After telling my mom ill be right back  I rushed to the bathroom.

"We're not suppose  to talk anymore remember?"

"Yeah but honestly friendship like this only come once in a lifetime right? That's why I'm gonna help you out. Go to the alley asap you won't be disappointed." I nodded.

"Sounds like a deal! Bye!" 

"Bye!" Asher chirped, then the phone went dead. And I told mom I would be right back of course she wanted to know where I was off to and I told her to meet a friend she didn't question (that's why I love my mom) and let me go.

************************************

  When I arrived at the alley I saw Asher. We did our annual hand shake, and then he pushed me.I skid across the floor.

"Wow. What was that for?" Asher laughed at my question.

"Being such a horrible friend, I never liked you and wish you would drop dead!" Asher screamed while kicking me. My heart broke with every word  and punch he threw and replaced with anger, some sadness.

"Why are you saying this!!! I thought we were good friends!!" Asher clawed against my face with his 7in nails causing an immense pain. I growled. My body tempature began to heat up everything around me seem to get hotter,  and hotter, and hotter until the hotness almost drove me mad! I screamed as I sunk to my knees. I locked eyes with Asher who looked like he was so surprised.

" I wish I never met you! You jerk! I tried to stick by you but it's obvious a person like you doesn't keep friend, just pets! And I'm no pet." I shouted. Just at the moment it felt like my insides were burning in to smithereens. My kneese buckled but I still crawled my way to Asher.

"Revenge will be sweet for you Asher Morriority. From this day on, consider me your enime  b-because in my book were no longer friends." My breath ran out. While a sudden flash  of orange enveloped my sight.

***********************************.            

  When I woke my parents along with Asher were talking. Outside of my room. The door was cracked so I could hear a little of what they were saying.

"So your saying that he burst into flames and didn't even burn?"

"Yup. I kinda knew it would happen, but I wasn't really sure how, I kinda predicted it though. Also it was hard to carry him since he kept catching on and off fire but I managed."

"Your a smart kid ye know that? I would of never thought of it that way."

"Well some of it was my moms idea we both thought of it."

"Oh well, you have a  smart Mom. You have my gratitude for everything you've done, you really are such a friend to him and I know he sees that." 

"Thanks alot. I'm glad I could help. Though speaking of him is he up?" 

" I don't know he's been out for quite a while now. I guess it took up all his energy, wow he's powerful. Hm. My son." I thought for a second. We're they talking about me? Was I the one they were saying was enveloped in flames but never burned? I sure hope not! Just them a voice rang out.

"Don't mention it. Just don't tell my dad or he'll have a conniption. Well, I'm going to check on Hope." I heard footsteps and I closed my eyes quickly and pretended to sleep. I felt someone next to me.

" look at him! He sleeps so peacefully in his sleep I'm jealous! I probobly disturb not only my house but my neighbors with my dumb snoring. Ah well. Wake up soon Hope you'll have a new you in store to face, as well as your destiny." I was shocked. A new me? What was that suppose to mean? I pretended  to yawn so he could hear me. He looked. I opened my eyes and stretched.

"Hope your up. Morning!" I smiled and waved tiredly I still felt sleepy I wonder how long I've been out. Asher called my parents but before they came I took his arm.

"I'm sorry about before about us being enemies. There was probably a reason. I'm sorry" Asher grinned. The kind that made you want to grin along.

" No worries bud. Hakuuna Matata" he tapped his head 

"Remember that."

" right!" I said. My parents enter they both hugged me.

"Honey your alright thank God in heaven! Your alright!"

" I'm fine mom don't worry Asher saved me. I'm fine now."

"Really?" My dad interrupted.

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?" I asked. Dad pulled a mirror infront of me to reveal a stranger. A new me. Instead of my sillver eyes, my eyes were as white as hot fire, my hair, first a dark crimson but now my hair were the same color as my original eyes. A divine Silver. My clothes used to contain of casual don't draw to much attention to yourself wear but now, I consist of a white muscle tank  showing my peach skin, instead of my favorite peach sweat shirt, starchy dark denim jeans instead of my tight light jeans. I liked my look but felt also very uncomfortable. Asher problobly read my thoughts because he put a hand on my shoulder right after my thought.

"Its ok Hope. I first felt like this when it happened to me but this isn't  a stranger this form is who you were ment to be. I stared in my mirror blankly. Who I was meant to be, I thought. I sighed.

"Right Asher." He cheesed then left along with my parents, so I was left alone with the "New me." The me who I was meant to be.
