Damien's Pov

"Help me someone, please." I wake up in a sweat, looking at my alarm on my bedside table it shows it's only five in the morning. It seems to happen every other day now, this dream or more so a nightmare. It's always the same I go to sleep fine, but the second it hits around five or so this women shows up begging for help. I crawl out of bed since I won't be getting anymore sleep today.

          I head to the bathroom for a shower while Adam comes out to talk to me. "Damien it might be a message that you need to help this girl since you've seen her so many times now. Doesn't this make this the sixth time this week, and it's only Thursday." He did have a good point, but still I'd rather be safe and ignore it for a bit longer before anything else happens.

          Getting out of the shower while wearing a black long sleeve shirt, dark blue jeans, and a pair of Jordan Retro 3 with the color grey.

After going downstairs for breakfast I see my parents eating  pancakes, fruit salad, and coffee while watching the news on the teleporter.  As i take my seat I grab some pancakes and begin to eat.  When I notice a folder with with the word 'classified' on it.  I look up at my parents and say "Got a new mission from earth or something?" My father looks at me and said with his deep voice "Yes, but it's not for a few weeks. You mother and I are to train some new military members in the evenings until we leave.  So you will be alone at night until late morning, early afternoon."

          As I leave for school to finish up my junior year, I look at the starry night sky, as I walk to the school that's a few blocks away from my house. I look at the trees that are able to withstand fire, and can hold it on the branches as a light for us to see in the dark. 

          As I get closer I notice some of the guys from the football team picking on one of the freshmen,  James sees the freshmen is weak and won't stand up for himself and no one will help him either, so he ropes away my control. "James don't do this, seriously it's bad enough Conner is fighting me in gym today." But James being the hothead he is just brings my two long katanas with flames on the blades show up in my hands, and everything about me was fire red.  The guys all stopped and looked at me as I come running at them Adam tells James to not hurt them to badly since we are on school grounds we don't need to get kicked out or expelled.

          He grunted but still complied.  He turned the blade to where the blade was facing behind me and I hit them with the tip of the grip and they fall to the ground holding their stomachs.  James smiles and then changes back so I'm in full control with my brown eyes and my normal clothes. 

I look at the freshmen and say to him " you okay, I didn't mean to let James out like that.  "He's very...protective and hates people to pick on the weak." His words not mine." As I'm helping the freshmen up I introduced myself. "I'm Damien a junior here.  You must've just passed the entrance exam since this school is to let the students who graduate into the military."  He looks at me and said "Yeah, I just past the test this weekend and I haven't gotten the uniform yet. Those guys popped out of nowhere and jumped me."

          I look to the biggest tree in flames in the courtyard and take a deep breath and ask him "I can take you to the office where they have everything set for you and your classes.  And it helps keep others from trying to harm you on your first day, since you look like a kid trying to break in.  That's probably the reason why those guys did that to you." The kid looked me up and down since I don't wear the required uniform, I quickly say "juniors and seniors don't have to wear the uniforms if they have more than three abilities." Soon the kid nods his head in understanding.

We walked and talked and once in the office I see everyone in there stop what they were doing and look at me. I sigh and tell the freshmen good luck and walk away. I walk to the bathroom and look into the mirror, Adam came forth and started talking to me before I got to lost in my thoughts.

Adam's POV
I watch with the others as Damien thinks he's an outcast everywhere on this planet. I walk forward to the "spotlight" as the others call it and tell Damien "You are only an outcast if you allow them to win over your mind. They will keep looking at you like a saint until you carve your own path out from your parents shadow. I may only be a spirit of wind, but I'm apart of you so believe me when I say we are all in this together okay Damien."

He looks into the mirror again and gives off his tiny smile that he does and walks out again with more confidence than before. All of us spirits become less tense with Damien as we say our own nicknames for Damien.
