The Beginning (A Flames Pond Fanfic)

Chapter 15

Adam woke up and everywhere above his waist hurt. He also saw that there was a sheet over him. He lifted his head slightly to look himself over and he noticed that he wasn't wearing any clothes. "What happened?" He said to himself as he removed the sheet. He stood up and he quickly wrapped a towel around his waist.

He looked around and the room was empty except for a mirror and the bed that Adam was on. He walked over to the mirror and he saw small scars where the bullets went in him. Then he remembered that he got attacked by his brother then he got shot. The more he examined the wounds the more he wondered about what happened. He wondered if he died and came back to life? How is that possible? No one can come back to life after getting killed. Right? He sighed and he turned to his left and he stood face to face with Jasper. Adam noticed that Jasper had tears in his eyes.
"Y-you're alive!" He exclaimed as he hugged Adam.
"Yes. I am alive. Why are you crying?" Adam asked as he let go of Jasper.

Adam saw Jasper's face go red and he wiped his eyes.
"You remind me of your dad," Jasper said.
"You knew my father?" asked Adam in a quiet voice.
"Yep. He was my best friend and I loved him like a brother," replied Jasper, "come on. Let's get you dressed and I'll tell you about your dad and you can tell everyone your code name in a few hours. Do you have one in mind?"
Adam followed Jasper to a closet and he knew what his code name would be,he looked at Jasper and Adam told him his code name.

Jared stood up and he examined his clothes. He wore a black suit and tie and his hair was combed neatly to the side. In a few minuets his brother would give his code name and he would officially be part of the agency. Jared wondered what Adam's code name will be, he hoped that it wouldn't be similar to his own. Next, Jared went out and he followed the crowd of people to the auditorium. A few minutest later, he stood near the front and he stared at the platform that Jasper and Adam were standing on. Adam looked nervous and he looked pale. Jasper stepped up to the microphone and he spoke.
"Earlier today I announced that this young man beside me had died," Jasper started, "he did die but he came back to life. Adam Young is exactly like his father Randal. He doesn't have any of his mothers DNA. But that's not the reason we're here. The reason is for Adam to give his code name."

Jared saw Jasper step back from the microphone and Adam stepped up.
"Um," he paused because there was feed back, "so when I chose my code name, I had no idea it was my fathers. So my code name is Flames Pond. And" he stopped again since everyone cheered. Everyone except Jared. Adam continued, "and...since I'm now apart of the agency, I'll try my best to be the best agent there is and to defeat the our enemy and to bring order to the agency," there was another outburst of applause and Adam was smiling," so in the famous words of my father: Flames Pond never dies."

Jared heard everyone cheer and he saw Jasper put Adam on his shoulders. Soon everyone started chanting his brothers name and a fuzzy feeling settled in Jared's stomach. Not a fuzzy feeling of happiness. It was of anger and jealousy. He should be the one with his dad's code name. He should be the one who brings order to the agency and get the attention. Not Adam. The perfect child who actually got to live a life outside the agency. The one who his dad always talked about when he was training him. His dad always told him that he would be the one but it was a lie. Jared stormed angrily out of the auditorium and he went towards the exit.

"Hey Jared! Look at what Jasper gave me!" Adam said happily as he shoved a wooden cross necklace in his face, "it was dad's then it was Jasper's and now it's mine! Oh and I'm not sick anymore and I can start training to-"
Jared cut Adam off by pinning him up against the wall and anger filled Jared.
"SHUT UP!!" Jared screamed at him, adding a cuss word.
Adam listened and he looked scared. Jared felt Jasper get him off of his brother.
"Jared Young you now better!" Shouted Jasper, "you never harm an agent higher ranked than you."
He was taken aback by what Jasper said. "Adam is ranked higher than me?" He thought as he glared at Adam.
"You jerk!" Jared shouted.
Before anyone could respond, Jared spun on his heel and he stormed out of the agency into the rain. He walked across the mud towards a motorcycle. He reached it, got on, and he rode towards Owatonna, Minnesota. Jared needed to see someone. While he rode, his mind went back to his brother and the fuzzy feeling was worse than before. He glanced at his hands and he saw them tinted a faint yellow. Jared looked ahead and he knew that right then and there Jared hated his brother. He hated Adam with a passion.
