"The fire, never forget the fire, the two paths will unite two worlds, but only one will survive, never forget my love who you are and your purpose"
"You okay" A kind, young and innocent voice asked an 8-year-old Adrian he looking to see an 9-year-old Kera who looks at him with a huge grin "Umm, nothing, it's just" Adrian uttered surveying the empty front room covered with birthday bunting and a banner saying Happy birthday Adrian "No one came, my mum promised people would" He adds sulking and slouching on the couch as Kera comes to join him on the couch "Isn't that good" She tells him "My mum tells me your true friends, are the ones who are always there for you" Adrian looks up to her as her words fill his head "Well in that case they are dead to me" He utters frustrated almost sliding onto the floor but Kera catches him and pulls him back up "Don't give up on people, not all are bad, just look for the good ones "She told him with a bright smile causing to smirk at her "You two getting along" They are asked by Kera's mother Kelly who is visibly pregnant with Kera's brother with Adrian next to her "I'm sorry again baby, mammy really tried" June told him before stroking his head with a forgiving smile embarrassing him in front of Kera, Adrian face changes to moody upon feeling her hand stroking his head "Mum, no please" He pleads but she instantly speeds over to them causing Kera and her mum to laugh at him "Your so cruel June" Kelly utters between laughs "I know" She responds almost falling to her knees from laughter but never taking her hand from his head "Your mum's funny" Kera utters while laugh "and so are you" She adds almost serious but continues to laugh after causing Adrian to turn red and for a moment it feels like they're the only two in the room "Thank you, your funny too" Adrian utters but she doesn't hear over the laughter but she grins back in a way to show she knew he said something to her, in that moment Adrian heart fluted and quickly grabs his chest following each beat as his cheeks flair up as he continues to laugh along with everyone. "Adrian are you awake baby" A voice calls out to him pull him from his memory dream and pulling him into reality "M …Mum" He utters groggy feeling her arms around his body something he's used to since she has been doing this for a week since the incident which everyone has been calling it, Adrian grabs his mother's hand as he notice the tear on cheek. "Thank you, mum"
Adrian sits on a bench at a Graveyard as a small crowd of people dressed in black stands around him talking and morning for Kera, Rollo sits across from him trying to smile at Adrian hoping to cheer him up but breaks into tears causing him to grip his hands into his trousers. Since that day, Adrian hasn't been able to cry, but he tears up every morning since, every night Adrian dreamt of her nothing else entered his mind, causing him to awaken with tears in his eyes. June sits next to him and wraps her arm around him and doesn't say a word, she holds her child, feeling every breath he exhales, everyone containing the wanting to cry, but his eyes remain bare. "Sorry for your lost, little lad" A voice full of emotion yet feels uninterested in him causing them both to look up to 4 people standing before them "Jan, May, Ethan, Liam" June uttered as she looked her siblings and their families who stay back huddled together almost in fear somewhat, Adrian meanwhile eyes them with a small rage inside that could burn down everything around him. "Why weren't we invited in the Limo" Jan asked as if she is speaking for her siblings causing Adrian to grinds his teeth "It was a Hearse, and it's only close friends and family" June tells them while taking Adrian's hand clenching it hard giving them a look of defiance "Well we're family" Jan responds full of disrespected causing Adrian to glare at her with fire "We were her family" His cheeks flare red and his hands clench almost hurting Junes "Me, mum, Rollo and her brother were her family" He stood up as Rollo seeing this begins to make his way over "Not you, us" He screams his voice like fire making Jan backs up a little feeling the heat "Control him June, he's becoming like that violate man" Jan tells June referring to Adrian's father causing her to become angry as well but Adrian becomes enraged with tears in his steaming tears in his eyes "Greg was a good man, he never murdered anyone" She cries as Adrian steps forward and draws his fist back his eyes fixed on his aunt but Rollo moves before him and wraps his arms around him then lifting Adrian up "Not here, not today" Rollo whispers to him before spinning him around so they don't see Adrian face now full of tears all except June who just tries wipes away his tears. "If you guys care about Adrian at all, you will leave him, and us to mourn" Rollo tells them with rage in his eyes mixed with tears "Please, January, leave us, sister" June adds as she hugs Adrian's side placing her head on his shoulder with tears in her eyes causing everyone to begin walking away except Jan who holds her ground, she stares daggers at Rollo who stares cold unmoving as she wishes to scream "I'm family to that girl too, I sent her Christmas cards every other year when I remember" But the animal like stare keeps her voice hollow and drives her away finally after a moment joining her family and siblings, Adrian continues to cry with both Rollo and June placing their heads against his head holding him close comforting him. Meanwhile Mindy and the Twin's stands at the centre of the door to the Church, Mindy looking at them full of mournfulness even a tear drips from her eye, Samuel take Mindy into his arms and passes her a tissue all the while Ieuan fiddles with the black suit and tie that they both wear. "God damn it mum" He utters while itching his undershirt which he did thought the service eventually caused Samuel to yell in a muffled tone "Shut up and show some respect" Even muffled his voice carries through the room causing those within to look at them "Great job" Samuel adds glaring at his brother who finally stops fidgeting with an annoyed grunt before joining his brother and Mindy, he looks at Adrian, Rollo and June and begins feeling bad for their situation "We hunt those beasts and again and again innocents are still killed, even the ones who really don't deserve it" Mindy quietly utters to the twins as tear fill her eyes and drip down her youthfulpuffy cheeks "No matter how hard we fight, one of those bastards will always get through" Samuel adds in the same tone while clutching her closer all the while Ieuan places his sleeve against his eyes in attempt to cover his crying. "Remember the bosses words little brother, no point crying for the dead, they can't hear us" Samuel words cuts deep causing Mindy to begin balling her eyes out all the while Ieuan slams his hand against the doorframe, the wood chips and cracks upon impact stunning those nearby "Sorry everyone, I need a minute" He utters gritting his teeth before pulling his hand from the doorframe the sides being sliced and cut causing blood to leak on it and down his fingers, he then walks away scaring everyone near him including Adrian's Aunt and uncle causing Samuel to become concerned. "Darling you mind if …" "Yes, I'll deal with Adrian" Mindy interrupted him knowing what he was going to say attempting to give him a smile though her tears "Uh are you sure" He asked unsure seeing that she still is emotionally unstable "Go and find Ieuan before someone does and they end up like that doorframe" She points at the doorframe giving Samuel a knowing look which he can't denied, before leaving he strokes her cheek and kisses her forehead with a smile before leaving to find Ieuan.
"Everyone was here today" Adrian utters as he sits on his knees his hands together praying before Kera's grave "Rollo, if he wasn't here today I would be ball my eye's out non stop" He stares at the tombstone and see's the words "Important to all those who loved her" "No one could ever replace you Kera, I love you, i really wish I could have told you in life" As he says this Mindy stands behind a large memorial listening to him and on the brink of tears all the while she carries a strange knife in the back of her dress "Instead of that dream, but I'm happy we had that moment together and that you felt the same" Adrian words cause Mindy to stop the need to cry and thought about what he said "Dream" She utters to herself quietly "I'll try to come by as often as I can, I promise you Kiera" Adrian then stands and places his hand on the tombstone and with closed eyes declares "I promise you, I'll find out who's responsible and take revenge against that inhuman monster" Mindy turns around peaking around the edge and looks over at Adrian with shock "I know you won't want me too, but I need this" He adds as a tear drops onto the grave causing Mindy to walk out and grabs her right wrist while holding back her tears and gritting her teeth in fear, she knows what she must do but everything in her heart tells her not to even if this will "Save him" as the Boss had told her and the twin's before coming. "Mindy?" Adrian utters wiping away his tears upon seeing her and trying to compose himself but Mindy can tell he is full of rage and sadness as if his soul is burning with vengeance, she takes a step forward and walks towards him as if she is facing an enemy using her movements to cover her shaking. "How much of that did you hear" He asks in a joking manner but his face still showing his sadness and rage all the while Mindy puts her shaking hand behind her back and grabs the black handle of the strange knife "Because, I was deadly serious" He tells her as if his voice carries across the hills the surround the town causing Mindy to almost in fear but her battle instincts cause her to continue towards him with an intent to kill, as she is within touching Mindy pulls more of the blade from her dress as she begins to dash forward almost Adrian looks at her and he almost terrifies her with a deadpan stare distracting her. Adrian takes a step forward and matches foot speed for a moment with her and initially are within a centimetre of her, reactively she pulls the blade out but before she can strike with a determined look Adrian grabs her almost scaring her. "Those eyes, dream and that killer instinct" She thought as his arms grabbed her shoulders and looked at her with great pain in his face "He might be susceptible to a possession" Mindy thought quickly as Adrian moved closer to her causing her to quicken her draw, but she feels arms wraps around her making her strike at his back accelerate "Thank you" Her hand stops the tip of the blade inches from his back about the length of a fly's body "Wha … What" She asked in shock, fear and confusion as her heart and mind fight over he means "Thank you" Adrian utters again he on the brink of tears causing Mindy to begin wrestling with herself over his life "No, this isn't right but the boss will go mad if I disobey protocol" She thought as she goes from tightening her grip to releasing and back again "But to save many we must kill the few" As she regains her composer Adrian grabs her back and tells her "Thank you, for hearing me because I vow to find this inhuman monster and send it to hell" His words burn like fire awakening her Hunter side and sees Emily, the Twin's, the Boss and even herself "The fire burning from him is the same as the ones in are heart, a flame to protect all in this world" She thought as the flame inside her resonates with his causing her to finally drop the knife it quietly striking the ground "I know she won't want me too but I can't let her go without doing it, then maybe I can join her" He told her causing to almost go into shook again and without realising Adrian breaks off there hug, she stands there for a moment before picking the knife and feels a presents near her. "You hear everything" She response as if someone watching her "He's coming for you beast" She yells gripping the dagger "And he's not the only" She finishes as her phone rings and on the screen it says "He dead" and the sender being tag as sister
Adrian and Rollo both drinking and sitting in Adrian's room as they reminisce about Kiera both looking like they were crying "Mmm, she always had this knack for getting people to, well except you" Rollo drunkenly uttered with a laugh while pointing his finger at Adrian who sits against his bed with a drunken glare "Hmm" He grunted before taking a sip of his cider "Mostly because we were honest with each other, dummy" He response with composer yet a sense of unbalance "Yeah yeah, how about the crush, you both had" Rollo slurred as he finishes his cider almost spitting some from his mouth "I think you had enough brother" Adrian told him as he began to get up "I'm still capable of talking" Rollo uttered in a drunken stupor Knocking over the empty cider bottles as he tried to stand, Adrian's as he stands up and wobbling a little but quickly finding his feet then grabs Rollo's shoulder keeping him seated "I'll go, you stay, we need sobering" Adrian then grabs the door handle and leaves the room before heading downstairs, upon reaching downstairs he sees his mum drunkenly asleep on the couch clenching an half empty bottle of red wine while an empty one sits on the table before her. Adrian looks at her worriedly and takes the wine bottle from her, almost waking her, but her eyes remain closed, he then looks at it for a moment before taking a quick drink and taking it into the kitchen and placing the bottle in the fridge. Adrian looks again at his mother and grabs a clean towel and brings it over to her and covers June with it, he then kisses her forehead before grabbing his coat and puts on his trainers with a sadden look before grabbing the door handle. He opened the door and entered the dark cold night then closed the door behind him quietly to not wake his mother, he then put on his thin but warm black coat and began heading down the street towards the off-licence store at the bottom of the road. The off-licence was bright, and its glow was inviting but the drunken man out the gave off an Aura of fear keeping any trouble makers from hanging around, the cold bitter air usually would bother Adrian but the mix of alcohol and almost loss of emotion when alone keeps from thinking about it as he reaches the shop. "What are, you doing" The drunken man uttered as his aura blast though Adrian's aura malice filling the air but Adrian's numbness keeps him from feeling it as he continues into the store, as Adrian enters her rubs shoulders with someone he recognizes but just flows forward focusing on only getting the beer. She look back at Adrian and reading his aura, she can see the cold, frozen spirit he had before looking away "Lies" she uttered to herself before head away down the street pass the drunken man "You looking for some fun little girl" He yelled at her as she passes him causing him to grit his teeth and his malice air to fill her area, for a moment she stopped but continued on with a hidden grin on her face. "Come back here you bitch" He cried with anger and an intimidating stance causing her to stop again before dashing into an alley, the drunken man yelled out in anger before chasing after her into the alley. "Are you scared, then good" He tells her as he enters the alley seeing her pushing against the wall cowering in fear, he takes a step into the alley causing her to push herself up against the wall with a sense of fake fear. "Your like every other woman I've met, took one look at my face, listen to my voice" He looks down at the floor and then back at her with a blood curdling smile "All I wanted he was to be shown some love, but like all humans, you are heartless" Upon him saying this she slide her foot up the wall while looking down hiding her now promate smile as an aura of excitement leaks from her, the man doesn't notice this nor does he sense her own sadistic aura filling the alley but someone else does. "You want me, then come and …." She begins to say before hearing a metallic slam echo through the alley before seeing the drunken man drop to his knees and slam hard on the floor "What the fuck" She quickly utters as she see's a man dressed in a black hoodie holding a rusted pipe standing over the drunken man's body, his aura was cold but smoldering like it just began to thaw releasing a hot aura of blazing rage that fills the area. She places her foot down and tries to see who it is but the darkness of the alley covers his face along with his hood "Who are you" Upon asking this he raises his arm and begins smashing the man's head into the concrete furiously shocking her back, after a moment he stops and grabs the wall for support as he takes a breath while blood pours off the pipe covered mixed with hair and skin as his aura beginning to cool down. "What unit are you from?" She asked upon feeling his raging aura quieten causing him to look at her and give off a shocked reaction "Emily?" He calling her by her name causes her to quick realise who he is as well "Adrian" The two stare at one another as fear and confusion fill the air around them "Damn it Mindy, what have you done?"
