LOCATION: Westvale High

 

{Hero}: *tired*

 

{Connor}: Yoh Hero, you good?

 

{Hero}: Huh? Oh yeah, never been better. Why are you asking?

 

{Conner}: For starters you came way to early today and your sleepy.

 

{Hero}: … That? Oh yeah. I forgot to tell you last time we met, Lilly and I moved in with Hazel and Lilly wanted to go to school early and now I had to-

 

{Connor}: Wait, Wait, Wait. You live with Hazel! And you didn't tell me!?

 

{Hero}: Is it really much of big deal?

 

{Conner}: Yes-

 

{Hero}: To you?

 

{Connor}: … Good point. But your reputation will skyrocket within a few hours. Maybe minutes.

 

{Hero}: *skyrocket echoes in head* … Oh no. not the popularity.

 

{Conner}: Oh yeah, forgot you hate being famous and to well known.

 

{Hero}: I can't handle all that-… Can I come by your house for a few hours?

 

{Conner}: That was sudden, but what about your sister- oh yeah… Hazel's place. Okay sure we'll go after your shift ends.

 

{Hazel}: Hay guys, how are you doing?

 

{Connor}: Hey Haze, didn't hear you approach us. We're doing well today.

 

{Hazel}: Good to hear. Hey Hero, are you free after your shift today?

 

{Hero}: Umm actually, am going to Connors house for a few hours, maybe later.

 

{Hazel}: O- oh. Okay. Maybe another time?

 

{Hero}: Tomorrow.

 

{Hazel}: Oh!? Okay. Oh, and I won't be here until 12 in the afternoon, duty calls *leaves. *

 

{Hero}: See you later.

 

{Connor}: … Okay what's going on between you two?

 

{Hero}: Sorry Connor. Can't afford to tell you at this current time. It will jeopardize the mission.

 

{Connor}: … Are you two dating or something?

 

{Hero}: ... if that sentence ever escapes your mouth, I will do unhuman things to you that you will never forget-

 

{Connor}: Jezz fine. Am sorry for being curious. But still, what's up with you two?

 

{Hero}: Ummm…

 

Flashback

 

{Hero}: So, let me get this straight, you want me to substitute with Hazel-

 

{Mai}: At times she's unable to do things on her own oh she has to do other things.

 

{Hero}: In missions I can get seriously get injured from?

 

{Hazel}: Being half vampire can still speed up your healing?

 

{Hero}: And register my-self into the association?

 

{Mai}: Yes.

 

{Hero}: … What am I going to get if I join your little team of your-

 

{Mai}: Blood art, human style, very own weapon that you always carry with you and can't be taken away and

 

{Hero}: Good offer but I'll pass-

 

{Mai}: And a lifetime supply of unlimited 5GB Wi-Fi and your able to download 30 terabytes in 2 minutes.

 

{Hero}: … Where do I sign up?

 

{Hazel}: Wait really? It's that easy? I thought you would be-

 

{Hero}: Hard to convince and had to pull out the big guns that you may or may not be able to pull off.

 

{Hazel}: How'd you- did you read-

 

{Hero}: I've been training all night… I can literally enter your dreams and interact with you.

 

{Hazel}: Y- you're bluffing.

 

{Hero}: A fantasy world full of other types of magic, sci-fi stuff and a guy called ner-

 

{Hazel}: Shhhhh! I get it. You don't have to say that Infront of the child. *Looks at Lilly*

 

{Hero}: She's 10. She can handle it.

 

{Hazel}: How can you be sure about that-

 

{Lilly}: He already told me about that, that's nothing compared to what I hear at school at a daily basis.

 

{Hazel}: … Y- yo- you told her!?

 

{Hero}: Except the part I had to influence you to s-

 

{Mai}: Okay that's enough, both of you. Although am impressed with your self-training Master Hero but you can't be using these unknown ability's without knowing the drawbacks.

 

{Hero}: … Fine, I'll reduce the use of this ability of ours.

 

{Hazel}: What do you mean try!?

 

{Hero}: Don't you know? It's a passive ability. So basically, its automatic, haven't you realized that?

 

{Hazel}: No?

 

{Mai}: Mmm, well I'll conduct further research about this, so in the meantime keep this information to yourselves.

 

{Hero & Hazel}: Yes Ma'am!

 

End of flashback

 

{Hero}: Figuring who gets which side of the building to themselves and since they are 4 of us, we decided to-

 

{Connor}: Ok, too much information I don't really need.

 

{Hero}: If you say so bro.

{Hero}: I'll take you there on Friday. If am not busy.

 

{Connor}: No buddy, you don't have to. Really.

 

{Hero}: Hey, I'll take any chances for you to not ask way to any questions which am not allowed or don't want to say.

 

{Connor}: … But seriously. How's it in there?

 

{Hero}: To bright, good air conditioning, great food and that's all I can notice for the time being.

 

{Connor}: That's something. Any secret passage or anything?

 

{Hero}: That's Lilly's task not mine. But I doubt that there's any.

 

{Connor}: Come on. There should be at least-

 

{???}: Umm, excuse me I need some help looking for someone.

 

{Connor}: Who?

 

{???}: Am looking for… Umm… ah! His name is Hero, I don't know his family name, but I doubt that there's more that 5 people named Hero.

 

{Hero}: Umm. That will be me? you need something?

 

{???}: Oh, that's great! Hi, my name is- well its going to cause complications later in the future… you can call me AU for now and am looking for a person named Seer. His about your height, brown hair, red eyes, anger issues towards females- but mostly me, foreign clothing of some sort.

 

{Hero}: Sorry, don't know who you're talking about.

{Conner}: You've been up in the clouds for the past 15 minutes. What's going on?

 

{Hero}: Ohh- I wish I can say something, but I can say something- but am forced to stay quiet.

 

{Connor}: Come on man its not that bad… Right?

{Hero}: *wakes up* Ahh, my head. Where the hell am i?

 

{Alestriel}: Wakie, wakie… brother.

 

{Hero}: Alen!?

 

{Alestriel}: … Who?

 

{Hero}: What do you mean who? Your Alen- *realises* W- what happened to you?

 

{Alestriel}: *sinister smile* Like the new design little brother.

 

{Hero}: Why- *Filled with rage* So you're telling me, the reason why you left us… is to join them!?

 

{Alestriel}: Now hear me out… never mind. Where's the oldest brother. I mostly need him then we can go on our interesting way-

 

{Hero}: Why would I tell you anything-

 

{Alestriel}: *stabs Hero with a knife* Are you willing to risk your own life for your older brother?

 

{Hero}: *in pain* That's what I thought long time ago. After what you just become am starting to reconsider my life choices.

 

{Alestriel}: *Angry and pissed*Oh, my F$%&@ng damn just tell me who killed one of my minion days ago for crying out loud!!!

 

{Hero}: You want to know really bad? Fine, it was me. I killed him.

 

{Alestriel}: … You're lying. I can tell, I was told that it was the second oldest child, and I know I have 3 siblings in total.

 

{Hero}: …*disappointed* No! Its you me then Lilly! No one else! How could- why would you- have you even thought about us!? Have you even thought about Lilly!?

 

{Alestriel}: *counting with his fingers* Ahh! That explains things now. Since its you who am after am going to run some test, and I don't care what your thoughts are.

 

{Hero}: *hair turns partly red* Don't you- if you touch me, you're a goner!

 

{Alestriel}: And what are you going to do to me? I've collected the records, and it shows you can't even do anything, let alone have the power to stop me or anyone. But don't worry once my research is complete all 3 of us can be a family. We can be in the winning team… just the 3 of us against those- *explosion*

 

{Hazel}: Hope am not to late for the party?

 

{Alestriel}: *annoyed* Argh! Like mother like daughter. You Galehart really don't know how to mind your damn business- *gets hit by fire blast*

 

{Hazel}: ** Keep my family name out of your filthy mouth! Am going to make you pay to what you have done! *Starts attacking with heavy axe*

 

{Alestriel}: *easily doges attacks* My, my. You're not what I expected coming from a Galehart. Your sloppy, you lack precision and most of all *grabs Hazel with dark tentacles* your out of tune! *Bashes her towards the ground* Besides you can't kill me.

 

{Hazel}: What makes you so sure I won't end you?

 

{Alestriel}: Well not only am in the top 20 out of thousands… soon going to be 12 but you cant kill your partners brother?

 

{Hazel}: !? Y- your lying!

 

{Alestriel}: Really? Then look at your partner.

 

{Hazel}: *hesitant* Hey Hero! He isn't your brother right-

 

{Hero}: *no sight of life in his eyes* 

 

{Alestriel}: Now, do you still want to kill me?

 

{Hazel}: *hesitant* … Am- I- am- have… *drops weapon*

 

{Alestriel}: Good girl. Now if you'd excuse me. I need to change locations once again. *Teleports away*

 

{Hazel}: *quickly helps Hero* Hey you, okay?

 

{Hero}: … … … Take me back to HQ,

 

{Hazel}: O- oh… okay. We'll get there in 20. Okay?

 

{Hero}: … … …

 

Am so sorry Hero. Am sorry this happened to you like this.
