CHAPTER TWO
shadows are coming

Golden child,
Lion boy;
Tell me what it's like to conquer.
Fearless child,
Broken boy;
Tell me what it's like to burn

The boys eyes snapped open as the lights begin to flicker, normal whiskey eyes were replaced with deep red. Shadows seemed to dance and morph in the distance, without blinking the boy stood up. A dark look in his eye as he made his way to the exit of the building, John panicked knowing the boy wasn't in control. Lights soon began to go out as he passed, making people worry. That was until someone hit the boy with a chair knocking him to the ground.

Whiskey colored eyes stared at the ceiling blinking away confusion as a hand went to his head, he could feel eyes on him as whispers began to grow louder and louder. The boy seemed to curl into himself as people yelled at him; until he finally broke. Rushing out of the room in search for a place to hide from criticism, he found the roof. Gravel covered the roof, it dug into his knees as he fell to his knees; head tucked away from the view of the world around him. The boy shook violently his breathing ragged and his heart racing, curling in on himself as much as he could his hands made their way to his hair with an iron grip. Sounds around him seemed to melt into one then to nothing besides the beating of his heart.

With a scream of pure agony the sun seemed to disappear, the light from midday vanished like midnight. The darkness lasted a few seconds before the light came back, so did the people and the whispers. A hand gripped his shoulder making the boy flinch flinging himself into a fetal position.

"Hey,hey! We're are not going to hurt you!" The voice eased the shaking boy, hands slowly moving from his head he looked up. His eyes roaming over the face of a teenage boy before his eyes flickered to a blonde girl, without hesitation the boy flung his arms around the teens waist hiding himself. A blush creeping onto the teens face as the trembling boy stayed in place, his grip growing tighter as additional footsteps came into range.

"John, something is wrong with him," Lauren spoke up as she looked from the fallen teen to the adult "his heart is beating to fast"

"We should've never let Sonia go near him" John sighed rubbing a hand down his face

The three mutants kelt talking until the boy stopped moving, falling unconscious from lack of air supply or at least they thought until his breathing stopped. John started resuscitation on the boy, as Lauren ran for her mother. Minutes went by and the boy spluttered showing a sign of life.

"I was dead. Please I want to die, just let me die! I can't do this anymore" the boy sobbed pulling his knees to his chest once again. The boy desperately seemed to be trying to drown out the surrounding world. The once dead boy now seemed to be trying to pull himself together as he tried to pick himself up.
