chapter 20

(credit to Halidonmusic,  amazing, calm, peaceful music.) 

have gone through every single event that ever happened around the world, not just in the U.S. Such as Civil War, WW1 and WW2, the Boston Tea Party, war in Darfur. I was there during the first sound barrier broken by Chuck Yeager. I was there during the depression, I was there during the baby boomer. I even fought in some battles. The ones I fought in were bloody, my demonic half took over. I killed the enemy plus my own army. I still have dreams of me shredding them to pieces and loving it.

...........

Enough about my past. Let's begin with where I am now in the year 2000.

A beautiful place called Boston.

-------------------------------

"One more then I'm done." I lifted my box full of books and placed it on top of another box. I was moving into an appartment I found online. It didn't match its pictures but it was clean and there was space. I went to my room to change into my work clothes and head back. I sat down on my couch and turned on my tv. "So much to do, I have to go to work still." I complained to myself. 'Oh duh.' I stood up and used my energy to make the book shelf build it's self and put the books in order. 'That is the laziest thing i have ever done.'

I opened another box by hand and looked through it. "Art supplies and old things. maybe just leave it in the kitchen?" I grabbed the box and set it on my small round wooden table. I turned to check the time. ' work.' I grabbed my bag and left my appartment. the street's were busy and the sidewalks were crowded with people. It was a cold night, many people bundled up in heavy coats, scarfs, and gloves. Then there is me, in my t-shirt, black pants and my black work shoes. I didn't feel cold or any need for the extra clothes i was warm and felt like i was by a fire.

Several people that i passed by gave me dirty looks and a couples stares. I shrugged it off and made my way to work.

'BZZZT' 'BZZT' my phone went off in my pocket. On the screen it showed, 'The bitch.'

I answered her call "yes ma'am." I said as I pulled my hair back into a bun.

"I need you now, we are very busy. Get your ass over here or your fired." The call ended.

I groaned and put my phone in my pocket. I went to an empty dark road a few blocks done. I looked around a little, after it was clear I stretched my arm in front of me.

I teleported to the break room,

'pffftt!!!!' Rose spitts her coffee all over the table. "What the fuck!" She yells at me.

"Ha I scared you didn't i?" I crossed my arms across my chest and gave her the 'ha I got you' look.

"Haha very funny." Rose stands up to clean up her mess.

"Want some help?" I picked up a towel that was on the counter next to the small refrigerator.

"Nah, you should probably go see what boss is yelling about." She grabed the cloth from my hand.

"Fine." I walked out of the break room and went to find Katy (our boss).

"Where have you been? Your late." She throws an apron at me.

"What I'm not the cook." I complained

"No but tonight you are, now get going."

She stayed at the register as I figured out how to start this weird grill. (Nasty grill at that.) I put on the apron and got to work.

I had the dishwasher help me find all the pots and pans. Also the spatula, "thanks Jimmy."

"No problem V." that's my nickname at work.

Welcome to my work, Porkins. We have any meat you can think of. Also very delicious deserts. I usually make them but I guess not tonight.

-🌹time skip🌹-

"You going home?" Rose asked me.

"Yeah after I close up." I took the apron off and let my long brown hair down that ended at my hips.

"I was thinking we could go to the carnival tonight before they close." She grabbed my arm. "Please I'll pay for the two of us?" She gave me her "puppy dog" eye's.

"Fine, but let me go home to change first?"

"awesome, meet me at the entrance when you are done." We went on our own ways.

I made it to the entrance of the carnival. I was wearing my blue jeans with black boots, and also my favorite black hoodie that had an alien head on it.

"V! You actually decided to come." Rose called out. She was gorgeous tonight. Her makeup looked beautiful with her soft dark skin. Her eyeliner made her brown eye's pop. I looked at her outfit, She had on a pink top that had an opening on the top of the chest; revealing her cleavage, i felt myself blush lightly and watched zip up her purple jacket. i looked down and noticed she wearing her new black leggings and her new brown fuzzy ankle boots.

"You look amazing." I said to her while we hugged.

"Awe thank you." We head in to buy tickets. After we rode some rides, I played some prize games. I got Rose a pillow that had a fuzzy star on it. She got me a purple snake.

"I'll be right back I need to powder my nose." She hands me her drinks and prizes. "Yeah sure meet me at the Ferris wheel." I called out as she ran.

'I hope she doesn't ditch me, like the last time'

I walked over to play a few more games. I wanted to get her the black glass rose. It was for the highest score, I kind of cheated and used a little magic. I got the rose, but the wrong color. It was pink with a golden stem and a golden trim around the pink peddles.

"I thought you were going to the Ferris wheel?" Rose asked me as she picked up her things.

"Not yet but I got you this." I handed her the pink and gold rose.

"Oh my gosh that's gorgeous." She hugged me tightly with the stuff animal's in between us.

"Ok, now let's go." Rose and I walked over to the Ferris wheel. It was dark enough where the lights shined from the rides. The Ferris wheel shined many different color of lights that was in tune with the music they played. Before we approached the wheel heard a snap and a scream.

The wheel was breaking loose, it was wobbling for a few seconds and with another snap the wheel begins to fall in my direction. It was going to crush us. Rose let out a small scream and dropped her things to cover herself with her arm's. Without hesitation I stretched my hands out towards the wheel. I forced my energy to push the wheel up a little and slowly put it in a certain angle where everyone on the bottom could get off and the people underneath to move.

There was a few stubborn people that just stood there under the wheel and starring at me. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?! GET OUT OF THERE!!!!" I yelled at them growing tired. I took a step back, "Rose go over there and help them out of their seats so I can put this down." She nods and does what i asked. "Please hurry."

I began to feel weaker by the second, The wheel was slipping from my grasp. I tried absorbing the people's energy but I was to distracted to concentrate.

After everyone got out I set it down and fell to my knees. I pulled my hood over my head to block the light's and from people seeing my face anymore then what they did.

"V!" I heard rose running to me. I felt her warm hand on my back. "Let's go." She helped me stand. "You told me you can absorb energy correct?" She grabs my hand and squeezes it. "Take mine, can't you?" I nodded my head. "Great then do it, you said it was fear right?"

"Yes..."

"Take it." She squeezed my hand a bit more.

"are you sure?" I asked her in between breaths.

"Yes do it now before the news reporters get any closer." I looked up and saw vans and reporters running to us shoving through the crowd and yelling at the camera men to keep up.
