Fire Star (a Merome story)

{chapter four} An Impossible Truth

MITCH'S POV

This was it. I knew I was destined to die as a freak. In fact I would be the only person in the city's history to die at 19, powerless and alone (another achievement to add to my long list). Ha. I'm imagining it now. Pretty shit, right? Wow, it does feel like The Twilight Saga. So many questions were whirring round in my head... What would my parents say? (abusive dad, absent mom, more shit again) How would I live on? How would I tell my fans? That reminds me, I have several hunger games to record and pixelmon is calling...

---

"COME ON! STAY IN THE BALL BULBASOAR!!" I scream at the tiny green Pokemon. "Oh my gawd. Hey Jerome! Look at dis, I found a golden magikarp!" My eyes turn manga and I gasp in disbelief.

Jerome teleports and stares at it for a few seconds before squealing with excitement and throwing the blue master ball at the helpless fish.

"Noooooooo!"

Bajancanadian left the game

What wonders a stage personality can do.

JEROMES POV

He looked so cute when he was mad...

If you couldn't already tell, I like Mitch a lot, Sky can tell. I told him to swear on his life not to tell even though my secret has seemingly made its way round to Ty pretty fast already.

Tonight, I am going to have to confess to my life long crush that I have powers. I have to. But I know that I won't and that I will back away like a coward.

I leave the server and spawn in the lobby. Cautiously I sneak around the corner, making sure that the fangirls can't see me and make a run for the TC house. I burst through the door but instantly regret the sudden noise. Mitch lies on the couch with his hands draped over the side

My body is suddenly filled with a warm, fuzzy feeling. Something instinctive clicks inside my head, hesistantly I step forward and bridal style lift Mitch to his room and set him softly down onto the bed. He is smiling now, an expression so rare for him nowadays that it makes me glow whenever I see it.

"Ha! You two should kiss." Says a voice from behind me teasingly.

I turn around, Sky stands at the door with a slight grin on his face. His smile soon fades and I realise something is wrong. It's not like Sky to be up this late, he is usually too busy canoodling with Ty to worry about late night editing sessions.

"Sky, you're wearing that face again. What is it?"

"I can't read him." He mumbles, a horrible spread of doubt and unsettling discomfort suddenly flashes across his face.

"What?" I answer bewildered. "Sky you can tell what everyone's thinking, especially him. He's an open book."

"I can't tell what it is yet but it's like something's blocking me, something dark- and powerful and I can't understand it."

My eyes dart to the sleeping body of Mitch and I suddenly notice something I should have noticed hours before. The gash across his forehead left from the bedrock attack a week before... It's bleeding purple.

The last thing I see is the carpet falling towards me.

SETOSORCERER'S POV

"Goddammit Ty! Not again!" I complain. For the third time this week.

"Uhhhh sorry! I was uhh,experimenting! Yeah, experimenting!" Ty tries reasoning with me.

The forest was now on fire and I was attempting to parkour over the trees. Unsuccessfully I might add.

My abilities didn't help, I could make a giant diamond forcefield that blocked everything but the elements. Yeah, great power for a wizard I know. The fire was spreading rapidly and Ty was unsuccessfully trying to put it out with his two fiery hands.

"Ty! That's making it worse you twat!" I scream at him from the top of the trees.

"I'm sorry Mom! Oh god I mean Sir- I mean Sky- I mean Seto!" He stumbles backwards and puts his hands out behind him, creating another large fireball.

Suddenly I feel a pull and all of a sudden I am flying upwards, I look up. A spaceman with a jet pack is dragging me away from the fire.

"Thank you Jason."

Jason smiles politely and continued to fly towards TC HQ.

"Ty was trying to troll me but... Yeah. How's Jerome?"

"Not good bro. Sky said he passed out earlier. Don't know why." Jason murmurs, not really paying attention to me. 'Sky took him downstairs to Ashley.'

We fly in silence for a few seconds.

"You know the books I've been studying recently?"

"Yah."

"Well... I've been studying the first one again lately, it's proven to be very interesting. Professor Lashton said I should look into the power theorems, she said it might help with Mitch's... Condition." I say hurriedly, I want him to know about my work.

But Jason wasn't listening any more.
