Hybridtale: The Rise of Evil

Chapter 2: Escape

Develyn snapped his eye open, as he was shocked awake from his premonitional nightmare. 

Develyn was a boy that had black hair, a missing eye, and wore a wrinkled grey t-shirt. Develyn is 9 years old, and rarely receives education. He was living in his Uncle Jameis' since he was two after the passing of his parents. He never knew who killed his parents and why, but he was furious. From his parents, he inherited two deadly abilities. The Thu'um, or shouts if you will, and telekinesis. His voice also had a thick Icelandic accent to it, due to his Icelandic heritage.

Develyn soon took a few steps, as went as closed his window. The cold air flowing in made him cold as well. Develyn doesn't want to live in this torturous state anymore and wants to live somewhere else. He looked over at his alarm clock which read: 3:15 AM.

"I just need to get out. I hate this place, and he wouldn't get me proper food!" Develyn muttered. Develyn opened his closet door wide open and started to grab some important stuff. Some of his worn clothes that his Uncle Jameis brought, because he cares about him, but only a little. Then, in the corner of his eye, he found a black crystal while exploring the forest region of his grandparents home he would visit once a month a couple of years ago. He crammed everything he could into a fragile grocery bag, being careful not to make any tears. Develyn soon put his ear up to his door, surely enough his uncle was watching TV. He could hear his uncle laughing at a comedy show he loved to watch. "Make that the last few laughs of your life Jameis, because soon, you'll feel broken and alone!" threatened Develyn, with his hate element emerging within' his SOUL. Develyn was no ordinary human, he was a Human Dominant Human-Monster Hybrid. A combination between a human and a monster; where 75% of his SOUL is humane and the remaining 25% is Monstrous, meaning he's powerful. His SOUL trait is Justice Neutral, meaning he does justice when it's necessary, but he kills them instead of bringing them to criminal justice.

Develyn soon opened door quietly enough that it doesn't make a loud creak to where his uncle would hear. He entered bathroom, and grabbed his toothbrush and toothpaste. He soon slowly crept back into his room, closing the door ever so quietly.

"What the... must've been nothing," mumbled Uncle Jameis, feeling like he heard something he shouldn't have. The last thing on Develyn's list is food, but there's the problem. If Uncle Jameis sees him, he gets brutally beaten!

"Feim! Zii Gron!" Develyn shouted, and he went invisible. Develyn slowly opened the door and crept down the stairs. The bind can be broken if too much noise occurs, so Develyn silences the TV with just his hands using his telekinesis.

"What the?! It just muted! Come on! Turn back up! Darn it! I always figured it would break. This TV is 20 years old anyway," Uncle Jameis complained as Develyn crept down the stairs.

"Why is there a ghost wandering down the stairs?!" screamed Uncle Jameis, as he ran off into his room.

Develyn's charm wore off as soon as his uncle slammed his bedroom door. He opened the cabinet and grabbed a loaf of bread, after that he went into the fridge, and grabbed cheese and lettuce. He made the sandwiches quickly, making a total of 12 sandwiches then executing a silent shout to where he teleported into his room and quickly fell asleep. Seconds after, his Uncle Jameis opened his door and flew downstairs

"Oh, I can't wait for this to be explained!" Jameis screamed, seeing the cabinets and the fridge open.

Morning was soon in the books, as the cold, frozen weather started to warm things up, the snow was starting to melt. Develyn was eating a piece of toast and, of course, was drinking water. He saw his uncle enter the house with a newspaper in his hand and started reading. Jameis scrolled through the paper and saw a headline in bolded letters: "Monsters Celebrate 3 Month Anniversary on the Surface"

"I thought those things were staying underground forever," said Jameis, taking a sip of coffee.

"I've been receiving nightmares the past three months, maybe that's why. There is probably something with one of them," muttered Develyn, but Jameis changed the topic. He didn't care about his disorder, which is going on undiagnosed.

"Oh, speaking of which," said Jameis, "Why the fuck were the cabinets open last night?" 

Develyn felt a chill go down his spine. He knew he was the ghost last night. He simply told the truth. "I made some sandwiches, 'cause I was hungry," said Develyn sweating intensely. Then Jameis grabbed his shirt, and flung him up the stairs. Develyn flew toward a step and it hurt horrifically. He's had bones broken, teeth knocked out, and even a few concussions for good measure.

"Don't ever come out for the rest of today young man! You are not suppose to have that stuff," yelled Uncle Jameis. Develyn's mouth was bleeding as he approached his room and slammed his door.

"AUGH!" Develyn screamed. Tonight was his only chance to do it, but he wouldn't go out of his house with a bang.

***

Develyn woke up and grabbed his bag. He tied into a tight knot. He looked outside, where it was snowing heavily. Grabbing his jacket and putting it on, he quickly grabbed his bag which contains his clothes, and 10 sandwiches. He looked outside once again. It was snowing so hard, he couldn't even see the light on the other side of the neighborhood. He heard footsteps coming up the stairs, meaning this was his chance. Develyn opened the door, and felt another chill go down his spine.

"What do you think you're doing here young man?" asked Jameis

"I'm leaving. There is something I need to take care of, and I need to do it before it gets worse," answered Develyn. In that moment Jameis broke Develyn's nose, causing blood to stream out of nose intensely. Develyn had no reaction, other than a disturbing groan.

"You've gotten tougher since you first got here, but I'm not letting you leave," said Jameis.

"I've been living in this stupid dump you call a home for nearly seven years! I've had enough it's about time I leave in search of a new family," said Develyn with his speech awfully slurred due to his nose being broken. Then Develyn closed his eyes, then he shouted once again. "FUS! RO DAH!" Develyn screamed. Jameis' feet was lifted off the ground. He flew down the stairs and hit the door so hard it killed him upon impact. Develyn ran down the stairs and went outside. He couldn't get very far as he started to hallucinate. He saw figments of Chara appear before his very eyes. The hallucination was so bad, Develyn lost his balance and passed out. The snow would quickly cover him up and the tracks he laid before the storm to calm down.
