Flames

Two

   End of the periods.... finally the best class there is.... lunch!  Nick though licking his lips at the thought.  He walked through the crowded hallways being bumped and pushed. At one point, a guy pushed Nick, so he tripped him making him fall and bleed from him nose, Nick ran out of the hallway before he could get caught. Idiots... he though making a small grin.

   Nick finally made in to the cafeteria, he found an exit and left the room to go outside at eat.  "Hey new kid! Aren't you gonna get your food?" A boy asked with a fake French accent, he looked like a preppy guy.  Nick gets annoyed by kids who try to know other stuff than they alright do, so he embarrasses them.  "Non, je ne suis pas idiot." Nick said with a smirk.  The guy had a puzzled face which made him look stupid, a few kids chuckled and pointed at the guy.  "That means no I'm not you idiot, shouldn't you know that? I mean you do have a French accent don't you? You should know French!" Nick teased, he laughed and then started walking away leaving the guy embarrassed.

   Nick finally sat down on the grass where there wasn't a lot of people. Finally, alone at last, no preppy guys to embarrass  Nick though with a sigh and a dark chuckle.  Nick grabbed is backpack and grabbed a small, black, leather pouch.  He looked around to make sure no one was watching him and grabbed a black rock from the pouch and popped it into his mouth. It was charcoal. Nick grabbed another and then another and tossed it into his mouth.  Ahhh charcoal, my best tasty friend!  Nick though. As you know already, Nick is not normal, we will get to his personal profile later. As you can see, Nick is different, or unique from others. As Nick put his hand in the bag of charcoal, he heard a small squeak. He shrugged it off until the squeak became a distant scream. Nick jerked up from the ground shoving the bag into his backpack and breaking into a sprint following the cries. What felt about 5 minutes of running, Nick made it to a dark ally way, the screams were clearer now. Nick put on his black hoodie and blended as well as he could into the dark shadows of the ally way. As Nick kept stealthily walking, he made out two figure out in the distance. He got closer until he made out the figures, it was a girl who seemed to be struggling against a man's grip, Nick got as close as he could without being detected and saw the that female figure was the girl he saw at the school. She seemed to be struggling, that is when it clicked in Nick's mind, the man was going to do something to her.

"Come on beautiful, come play with me~" a mans sluggish voice ranted out. "Over MY dead body!" the girl said still struggling against the man's grip who held her tight by her wrist. "it will be fun barbie doll~' he said again, this time with a hiccup and a smile that could scare blind children away. "leave me alone!" the girl keened the man where the sun doesn't shine and he fell to the floor with a thud and a grunt. "you brat...you shouldn't of done that" the man said slowly getting up with the wall for support. "You will pay" the man said, he then started to reach something from under his huge coat. It was a gun. the man pointed the gun straight at the girl, the girl trembling with fear couldn't move. "I was going to spare you but now, i wont!' he said with a wicked laugh.

Nick was still in the shadows, waiting for a perfect opportunity to strike the man. Damn, is this guy from a Disney movie because that laugh was so animated! Nick though. When the man put the gun right above the girls head, that when Nick pounced at the man. Of course the man didn't know Nick was there so he was tackled to the ground, the gun falling away from hands. "RUN" Nick shouted at the girl, at first she hesitated, then she took off not looking back. After about what has seemed about thirty minutes, both men were still fighting, both taking a good beating from one another. Nick then felt a sharp pain on the side of his neck, oh shit.... not now!! I can let it take over! he thought. Nick suddenly stopped punching the now bruised up man and leaned onto the wall for support, he held his neck as he kept in some grunts, he felt really weak, but if he let out whatever he was trying to keep, all hell would break loose. The man stood up slowly wiping some blood on the side of his mouth, "you already tired?! did you get a beating by me!! the man said, laughing and wheezing at the same time, if that was even possible. Don't get near me...please go away Nick though as he slid down the wall gripping his neck harder as the throbbing pain took over. "go away now! Leave!" Nick shouted at the man, still holding his neck. The man grunted and then laughed, he grabbed Nick's hair and yanked his head making it hit the wall, Nick winced. " not so tough now are you!" the man said with a raspy laugh. "Go away NOW! You don't know what is going to happen to you if you don't leave at once!" Nick shouted keeping in some tears from the pain he was going through, he held his neck tighter, it felt like venom was going through is veins. "Or what will you do, turn into a monster and kill me?" the man said grabbing Nick's neck, making him wince at the sudden movement. Nick couldn't take the pain any longer, he let it consume him. The last thing he heard was the scream of the man and a gunshot that filled the dark alleyway, Nick passed out instantly, letting the pain consume him and letting the darkness fill his mind and eyes.
