The Next day

~~~~~~Flashback Dream Starts~~~~~~

I am in a playground, on a swing. Daddy is pushing me up and down the swing as a scream "Wheeeee!!" in delight. Suddenly, I let go of the chains fastening the swing seat to the bar. I fly off the seat and land on the ground, leaving a bloody mark on knee. I start to cry and Daddy comes and picks me up."Shhhh Colton, it's okay. I'm here." I look up into his kind blue eyes. He smiles and kisses me on the forehead. I bury my head into his shoulder as he bobs me up and down,saying soothing words,"It's okay. I will always be here to protect you, even if I'm not." I feel his feathery wings wrap around me. I smile faintly and say,"I love you Daddy,""I love you too Colton."

~~~~~~~~Flashback Dream Ends~~~~~~~

I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock blaring loudly. I smack it with my fist repeatedly but it wont turn off. 'Darn it,' I think. I run my hands along the wall by my bed until I find the outlet and I grab the plug and pull it. The clock stops beeping.

I know, alarm clocks are annoying.

'Yep'

After hastily getting dressed and wolfing down breakfast, I stumbled out the front door and headed to my bus stop. As I stumbled into the school bus while my mom watches me form the porch, I noticed a kid on my bus, Mike, staring at me. "What Mike, do you have something to say?" I said. Mike smiled as if he was plotting something,"Just noticed your mommy was watching you cross the street. Guess you're too much of a baby to do it yourself!" he said with a mocking voice. "And your dad too, my mom told me about him, an insane monster from the looks of it. You're just like him. A monster." I felt a surge of power rise up in me as I grabbed the cuff of Mike's shirt, and lifted him into the air. "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY FATHER?" My voice boomed throughout the bus. Everyone, even the driver had turned around to see what was going on.

What did he say?
'You weren't listening?'
Nope.
'Good'

Mike answered with a feeble voice, "Uh..." "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" "Please don't hurt me, I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" His voice quivered with fear and regret.

Colton, he's sorry, let him go.

I whispered to myself,"No," as I rammed my fist into his stomach. Hard; now he would know not to mess with me now. As I let go of him he collapsed to the ground and vomited. You would think I would have felt sorry. I didn't. Mike started to cough up blood and some girls on the bus screamed at me while others helped Mike to the nurses office after the bus arrived at school. As I walked off the bus the principal confronted me,"Colton Stapleton, meet me in my office."

Mike's POV (didn't expect that did 'ya?)

The twerp walked into the bus and I stared at him unknowingly, plotting another way to piss him off. He noticed me and said,"What Mike, do you have something to say?" The tone is his voice let me know he was angry. I didn't know why since I hadn't done anything. It was only an opportunity to make him more angry. I smiled and said,"Just noticed your mommy was watching you cross the street. Guess you're too much of a baby to do it yourself!" I chuckled to myself and continued, "And your dad too, my mom told me about him, an insane monster from the looks of it. You're just like him. A monster." He grabbed me by the cuff of my shirt and screamed, "WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY FATHER?""Uh..." He slams me into the bus wall and screams again, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?" I felt tears welling up in my eyes as I stared at his, sky blue ringed with sea green. "Please don't hurt me, I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" I heard him whisper, "No" then he rammed his fist into my stomach and then dropped me to the floor. I vomit a couple times and cough out blood before I black out

Author's Note:

I hid a very important detail in this chapter. Tell me in the comments if you found it. If you didn't, reread chapter one and three carefully. If you were thinking, no Colton is not evil. ~Nuke
