SP fanfic: The Darkly Brothers

Chapter 1

Wednesday 26th December

Silence filled the air. Just silence. Omen gazed up at the sky and peered down below at the city of Roahaven. He couldn't sleep. He didn't know why but he just couldn't. He had a bad feeling that the new year was going to bring chaos. Of course, if you're in the world of sorcerers, that is always the case. However, Omen felt that the people he cared about would be dragged into this mess.

He felt that someone he really cared and love was going to be murdered when he least expected it. He felt that someone he has known his whole life was going to be unprepared for the upcoming murder attack. He just feels it. And he dosen't know why.

Auger groaned as he slowly sat up on his bed. The memories of yesterday suddenly flowed in his mind, and that had somehow ached his head even more. He waited for a few moments to let the pain die down. Then, he grabbed his phone to check the time.

It was 2:34am. Auger wished he could go back to sleep but now that he was awake, he didn't know how.

He slipped on his shoes, a jacket over a jumper, and exited his dorm. He decided to go at the rooftop of Corrival academy to contemplate. The air should be cool now, or worse yet, freezing cold.

He walked up the stairs, and opened the door, to meet an unexpected guest.

Omen strolled through the streets of Roarhaven as he glanced at his watch to check the time. 2.34am. Only, a little while ago, he was at the rooftop of Corrival academy. But he then chose to come down and have a walk instead. Maybe, it'll shrug off this weird feeling he thought as he glanced at the various shops to the side.

Suddenly, he heard a 'beep' and took out his phone. He had received a text from Crepuscular. 

...

[Text/Messaging]

Crepuscular: Are you awake young fellow?

Omen: Yes, why? 

Crepuscular: You're not out of bed are you?

Omen: Well..I am actually. Just taking a stroll though the city..why do you ask??

Crepuscular: That's good. That's good. Just checking on you that's all.

Omen: Oh. Um, thank you I guess..?

Crepuscular: Your very welcome. Good-night

Omen: Good night..

...

Omen placed his phone back in his pocket with a confused expression. Although, speaking with Crepuscular has always been comforting, this particular short conversation was...weird to say the least.

For some peculiar reason, Omen felt the urge to just run back at his board school. But the feeling began to fade as he continued on his way. It was still there, though. Still there.

An amazing aroma caught Omen's nose, which lead him to a Kebab foodcourt. He couldn't resist ordering a meal. Especially when the nice old lady was thrilled to have a customer. So, he used up all of his pocket money and ended up broke.

He decided to that he'd chill in the woods, and eat there.

He was walking through the alleyways in silence. It appeared to be quiet here. A bit too quiet. Omen tried to shrug off the uneasy feeling when he began to somehow sense that he was being watched. 

Omen slightly trembled, and flinched whenever he heard even the slightest sound. Why is this feeling so familiar..? Have I...have I ever been watched like this before..? Omen ruminated as he continued his walk.

A stalker, maybe..? Nah..no one has their standards that low..a robber..? But then why haven't they attack me yet? Omen thought of various reasons as to why someone would be watching him now, and not wanted to be seen.

Maybe, an enemy of Auger..? I mean, if they follow me, I lead to Auger..but dosen't everyone knows what school he goes to? And how would they even know that I was his brother??  

Suddenly, Omen heard a crash. He looked behind him and saw a hooded boy around his age become frantic and sprint away. Omen pursued after him.

"H-hey! Wait!! Please, don't run! I just want to know who you are! I'm not going to get mad!" Omen shouted, but his yells were ignored as the hooded boy continued to run, getting faster by the second.

They went through alleyways that lead to a busier road filled with people. The hooded boy crashed into a guy, before he resumed running. Omen, on the other hand, stopped to help the man. "Here's your things, sir" Omen initiated "Are you alrigh.."

His voice trailed off as he realised who the man was. It was his maths teacher. Mr Peccant. Are you kidding me? Omen thought Isn't Karma a thing? Karma you really are a B-word!

"Omen? What are you doing at this hour? You know you shouldn't be out of school right now!" His teacher scolded him. "Right. I'm..uh..sorry" Omen apologised. 

Mr Peccant only shook his head as he grabbed his items back. "That's alright. But you're coming with me as we go back. I expect you to be in your dorm doing whatnot the second we're there, Mr Darkly" Omen eyes lit up as he followed his teacher through the busy crowd.

"He..he didn't give me detention? Not even one..?" Omen exclaimed under his breath. "He must really be in a good mood. I wonder what happened"

Roughly about 15 minutes later, they arrived at Corrival Academy. Omen was dismissed by his teacher and he rushed straight into his dorm. Opening the door, he went on his bed, and laid down on it. Only to crash into a body that had presumably already done so.

Omen leaped up in shock. He was sure this was his bed. He didn't see who it was, as the body was under the thick blanket and pillow. Omen lifted it up, and almost collapsed to the ground. The body was...
...
...
...
his brother.
