Now this time I was sure I didn't hear him right. Until the same words rang, and echoed through my ears repeatedly. 'So... Little kid, would you like to become a Villain?~'
All I could do was to stay silent. 'I can't do this... He's planning on murdering SkyScape... I can't, I can't become a Villain!'
"Apollo!" I heard a loud shout, which made me snap my attention out of this current situation for a minor moment. Felix was running towards me. "What the hell, man! You scared me." When he got to me finally his pace slowed and reached his hand out. 'Hm? Does he not see-' I didn't take Felix's hand just yet. Instead, I looked over to where Dabi was, expecting to see him. But, he wasn't there anymore. I looked down to see some writing in the powdered dust on the floor. It reading.
" 'See you Soon' "
'It looks like I'm going to have to have my decision next time I see him... I know it already though...' Out of my thought the next moment, I reached out to Felix's hand. Him pulling me up off the ground. I dusted myself off.
Felix started walking the way he came, "Come on, let's get out of here. Your mom will be mad if I get you home late. " He laughed a little bit, probably remembering the last time he got scolded for us being late. He may be laughing but he was crying last time cause my mom scared him soooo much. I didn't want to get him in that type of trouble again so I followed him.
"Hey," I said in my normal voice. Felix looked back to see me. But only a second afterward I started to run, punching his arm slightly before I dashed past him. "Race you home!" I shouted and started running even faster getting a head start.
"Oh you,-" Felix didn't even finish his sentence then he was closing in, and fast. I guess that's expected from a track kid.
'Okay, I beat him once in a race. So I have to outsmart him again. I'll do my specialty.~' I ran as fast as I could to get some momentum and ran up a wall with a pole to hold up a sign. Climbing it, practically crawling up the wall to get on the roof.
Running on the roof now, Felix seemed like a little ant crawling on the ground. He may have been a very large ant though. I was gaining on him since he zoomed past me while I was climbing on the roof. 'Home isn't too far from here.' I was getting low on my energy so I slowed down a little.
Until the palms of my hands started to ache slightly. Closing them into a fist to hopefully not let the aching slow me down any more than I already have. But, what happened then was a shocker. Flames surrounded my fist. The flames flickered and danced as the wind from the speed I was going.
I was so surprised for a moment, I forgot all the race with Felix.
"What the?" I said to myself in a mumble. I opened my fist and the flame disappeared from my fist. I glanced my eyes upward, only to see Felix close to the house. 'I can't let him win now!'
Thinking this, I unconsciously run faster. Faster than I ever been... Faster then Felix.
This rush of energy suddenly flowed through me. Giving me enough force and momentum to jump about a 50 feet to land before Felix got to the house doing a rolling landing like Ezio from Assassin's Creed. Opening the door just before 4 o'clock when I was expected home. Felix seconds behind me. He stood amazed when he looked at me. Him seeming out of breathing, having given his all to be victorious. Yet, I stood before him like I walked here. "How- What the-?" Felix words got choppy, studders here and there slipped past his lips. "How'd you do that?"
The three words I responded with though, left him speechless.
"I don't know." ______________________________
After dinner past. I took a bath and went to my bed to think even more extensively about my reply for Dabi before he came back. I looked at Hades and petted his chin. Since I've been gone all day and grew lonely. To which the old feline sat upon my stomach. Letting me just pet his chin for minutes upon end.
"You know what Hades? Spending this time with you has made me come to a disesion." I smiled slightly from the corner of my mouth. 'I know what I'm going to choose. Dabi can do his own thing and I'll do mine.~'

Felix
I sat down with Mrs. Quinn and my parents laughing and talking about work at the dinner table. Apollo left early to do his own thing.
Odd as it sounds, he's been pretty distant from everyone since he ran off. And beating me in the race by jumping off the roof. Wheew, that was something...~
I'm worried nonetheless. He's been obsessed with finding SkyScape. Got ratted out my Mr. Morgan in the middle of class, ran off, jumped off a roof and walked away like nothing happened. While I was used to running like that and I was out of breath in a matter of minutes.
"Excuse me," I said as the adults finally quit talking. I took my dish and silverware and gently placed them in the sink. Left to my room. Apollo and I had walk in rooms, the only thing separating us was a door. So I went on checked on him... To my surprise, he wasn't there.
I raised my eyebrow to this slightly and looked around the room. "Ollo?" I searched the room, but he was no were to be found. "Ollo, man, this isn't funny. Come out."
No reply. Now I wasn't even worried about anything that happened earlier today. Apollo was missing. _____________________________ Apollo
When the certainty of fact went into my head. I was sure of what I was going to pick.
"Hey, Apollo." The Hades first looked at the voice then my eyes followed his to be led to Dabi. Sitting on my now opened window. My rooms on the second floor, so he must've had a hell of a time trying to get up. Also having no leverage to climb on. "You have a decision for me? Hopefully, it'll also be what I'm hoping for."
Hades moved to the side of me furthest away from Dabi. Almost as if he was hiding. For him to hide from Dabi. Wow, he's got to be some mega bad person. I looked at Hades then turned my attention to Dabi. "Yes, I got my answer for you." That was all I stated until Dabi spoke once more.
"That being?~" His voice had a curious tinge to it. He looked into my soul with those soul-piercing eyes of his. In all truth I responded.
"I choose..."
"To join you... I'll be your apprentice and murder SkyScape." ______________________________________ Hey everybody! Sorry it took a little long to write this chapter. I was pretty buisy throughout the day. But here it is. I hope you all like it!~
