A Delirious Nightmare

Chapter 7: Realization

Evan pov...

My mom had me stay in Delirious' room because I refused to leave. There was no negotiating me to leave, I chained myself to the bed with both my fire and light powers. My flames turned to chains and my light powers made them unbreakable. My mom knew that only I could unbind the light magic because it has an emotional bond with its keeper. I got my light powers by mastering my fire and elemental powers, and being only in second grade, my powers are really limited. But I was also trained that I can manage them and so I don't get what's called, overdrive. Overdrive is when you use up too much of your powers and you pass out for a few days, at the most a week. I don't eat, I barely drink anything. I hardly sleep waiting for him to wake up, and if I do, it's because I don't anymore. I don't leave his bedside at all. I hold his hand like I'll never see him again and watch as I see my mom walk over to the barrier that I put up. 

"Evan... I don't know what to tell you to convince you to leave him alone. But I know that you are in great danger. Being even close to him could-"

"Could what mom?! I swear to Satan himself if you try to take me away from John again I will run away with him and never come back!" 

I was so mad at my mom my wings were bristling and all my feathers on them were trembling. I have never been this mad at my mom because of something. My eyes were glowing and I knew that. But the thing that made me snap was that she tried to take me away from my only friend that truly understood me and accepted me. I know that I have other friends but they don't know me like Delirious does. I've told him things that nobody else knows about and so has he. He told me his name, the one thing I longed to know about for so long. And he did it willingly. I'll never be able to forget that day...

Flashback...

I saw Delirious walk into the living room where I was playing my Nintendo and he just walks over to me and sits down at the spot he usually sits when he comes over. We stayed quiet for a little while till I spoke up. 

"Hey Delirious? How come you always come over here? Not that I have anything against it, but I'm just curious."

It took him a while to respond but when he did, all that he said was; "Come with me." I didn't know what to think if it so when he got up I did as well and he led me to my room. He closed the door and told me to sit down on my bed, so I listened and I saw him jump onto to it with me. 

"Evan, do you know why I have you call me Delirious instead of my real name?" 

"No, you never told me that."

He sat there looking really sad, and then I see him lift his hand holding something on his chest. He pulls out something that looks like a necklace with a glowing bright blue pendant on it. He took it off and asked me to open my hand. I did so not knowing what was going to happen, and not wanting to find out if anything bad happens. He held out the necklace and put it into my hand.

"I want you to look at it. Hold it close to your eyes and look at it. It will pretty much explain everything to you."

I looked into the pendant and I was surprised to see that there were people inside of it instead of there just being a design there. There were three people there, a man, woman, and a little boy. The man and woman were fighting and it caused the little boy to cry. The boy had ears and a tail like a raccoon like the man which I assume was his father. The man though had dark brown eyes and light brown hair. The woman I take was the boy's mother had white wings and bright blue eyes, but the thing that scared me was that she had a light dagger out, only masters of light powers have enough energy to create one of those, and any wounds they make leave no traces of powers at all. Her eyes were glowing but then I saw her do something horrible. She sliced the man's side open as her wings stopped trembling and she stormed off screaming of rage. The man fell to the ground and the boy ran to his side holding his small hands onto his side where the wound was. Blood spilled through his tiny fingers as the man spoke to him. 

"Johnathon, never let your mother hurt you. I taught you how to use your hybrid form. Use it in case she ever tries to hurt you. I love you more than you will ever know. Take it please." 

The man motions to the chain around his neck and his son takes his tiny bloody fingers off of the wound and around the chain. He takes off the chain and holds them in both of his small hands. The little boy looked confused. 

"Wear these things all of the time, unless you are forced to take them off and hide them. Always carry them with you. The vile is something that I made myself, it lets me see the dead anytime that I choose, and you only need to drink it once."

The man tried to laugh very little but instead, his body was filled by very violent shaking and coughing, shaking his whole body scaring his little son making him cry more than before.

"I will always be here for you if you ever need me. I will always watch over you, my brave little soldier. I love you."

After the man said his last few words to his son, all of the colors drained darker in his eyes and the boy cried harder than Evan ever had seen before. He held the body not wanting him to die or to be left alone with his horrible mother. He got up slowly and washed his hands in the sink in the kitchen. He put on the necklace his father gave him and dialed 911. 

With that, the picture in the vile was fading and the vile turned to a slightly darker blue. 

I pulled back my head just a little bit to see Delirious crying slightly. He looks at me slightly and I can tell by the look in his eyes that he was willing to do that. But then he breaks the silence and says something I thought I wasn't going to hear for a while.

"Evan, that little boy there? That was me. My father was murdered by my mother and I have been horrified since I saw her that day."

He lifted up his mask taking it off revealing scars both faint and deep over the bridge of his nose and his right cheek. But he gave me a reassuring smile and put his hand on my shoulder. 

"I just didn't know if I could tell you at first when I met you, we were pretty young, and I was scared. But I know I can trust you."

He looked at me with such admiration and joy it made me want to hug him. So I did and he hugged back immediately.  Then I heard him say something I never thought that he would have said to me. 

"My name is Johnathon."
