《Bound in the Dark》Rearing Itself - Chapter 4

Advertisement

Shadows POV:

"Well if I were a creepy mysterious weirdo where would I be hanging out? I guess I'll go check that alley again."

And as soon as I saw that dark alley again...

"Nope, nope not going there, no way in heck. I don't wanna die."

As soon as I said that, something jumped out at me.

"Holy crap!!! Don't kill me. Oh it's just a rat."

Someone then answers from behind me: "And why are you out so late moron."

"Ahhhhh! I wasn't out late I promise I won't do it again, I'll be a good boy please don't kill me. Oh wait it's you Illume. Heeeey were you stalking me, I always knew I was gonna have stalker problems one day, I'm too nice haha."

Illume: "You're really a handful. Do I have to keep my eye on you 24/7? See this is why you can't be left alone, who knows what kinds of stupid shit you'd get up to."

"Hey no need to be mean, I've got feelings too ya know." *snicker snicker*

Illume just responds with a: "Yeah let's go home doofus."

"Okay, I've had enough of being scared shitless for the day."

We head home and I say my goodbyes to Illume. At the end of the day I didn't get to do anything, only went as far as my nose. I then head straight to bed and actually fell asleep quite easily this time.

The next day all im left thinking is...

Here we go again...

MONDAY! WHY Monday. Of all days this has to be my least favourite day. Why? Yep you've guessed it, school. Nothing I hate more than school.

Just then I hear Illume knocking down the door screaming out my name. YEP. I know. I'm late again huh.

Well better not keep him waiting. As much as I'd love to enjoy my time at home thinking how I could avoid this day, the school's still standing and the teachers are still well so no excuses.

Illume: "Dude hurry the heck up we need to go now I'm gonna kill you for real this time."

"My bad bro, counting sheep's so nice."

He replies just with a simple laugh and shakes his head.

A couple minutes of running, we arrive at school out of breath and see there's no one in sight...

Except for the leader of the douchebag committee, (I really hate this guy) PYRO.

Looking all smug he begins to open his fat mouth: "Woulda lookie here if it ain't the lame brains again, wait aren't you two assholes late? Oh look you're already twenty minutes behind. Can't wait to see what punishment you'll be getting, chumps."

"Uh you're late too doofus."

"No I ain't... just doing some good deeds for the school.": He replies.

"What good deeds? Like the good deed of being late?"

"What no shut up I told ya I ain't late!"

"You're clearly late bro."

Just right then I thought I saw a hint of fire in his eye. Must be seeing things.

Pyro replies while fuming: "Hell, you know what everytime you open your mouth I feel like setting you on fire. You really tick me off."

Illume: "Yo Pyro back off my boy right now unless you wanna get a good old fashioned beat down by yours truly. Besides that wasn't even a big deal doofus. Why you mad, we do this every day, chill out for once."

Pyro responds almost about to pop a vein: "Shut up! You two are always in my way!"

Illume: "Shadow what the heck is going on with Pyro? He's never this hot headed."

"I don't know but we better book it, because it seems like he's about to become fire."

All confused Illume responds: "Huh, become fire what does that even mean?"

"I mean he's about to be on fire, you know what I mean!"

Illume: "No I don't!"

"Dude look over there!"

Right then Pyro seems as if he catches fire and for a brief second I swear it was by his own doing, not by matches or anything like that , nah, he actually lights up on his own.

Illume: "This town just keeps getting weirder by the day, let's ruuuuuun!!!!

Far in front of Illume I shout out loudly: "You don't have to tell me twice! Haul ass!"

Illume shouts out back at me: "Hey when did you get over there!"

We run, we run as fast as we can, I mean at this point who cares about school right, I mean I don't want to be roasted bacon now do I.

As we run we hear Pyro sounding like a rough voiced monster: "WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING DWEEBS!"

"Pretty scary stuff, oh yeah, I'm definitely gonna pee myself. Oh yeah Pyro don't worry about us we're just gonna head somewhere far away from you, no biggie."

Pyro as furious as can be: "Oh no you're not going anywhere, not until I roast you."

"Huh roast me? Dude are you maybe just hungry?"

Illume: "What are you doing bro do you wanna make him more mad?"

"Don't worry you can take him."

Right then I swear Illume wants to kill me himself.

And right then a fireball comes flying in our direction.

"Quack!"

Ilume: "What?"

"Duck"

Ilume: "Really?"

"Just DO IT!"

Luckily the fireball goes over our heads and hits one of our teachers cars. I would be so happy right now if I wasn't about to die but I'll say it anyway: "Ha nice."

Illume: "Shadow get out of the way!!!"

Another fireball heading straight where? Yep straight at me. *sigh I'm gonna die.

"Oh well guess it's over for me then hehe."

Just when I think it's over this blue haired chick jumps in the way and somehow extinguishes the flames? Normally. With water. Really? That's lame. But she's about to save my life. At least I hope she will, so beggers can't be choosers I guess.

"Hey Illume check out this chick she's kinda pretty."

Illume shouts out: "You idiot! More fireballs are still coming your way."

"Oh don't worry this chick can handle it she's fiiine, I'm fiiiine."

The blue haired girl gives an answer with an annoyed tone in her voice: "Would you two just shut up."

"Oh yeah so how are you, I'm Shadow, nice to meet you."

The Blue-Haired Girl looks at Illume and says: "Does he ever shut up?"

Illume: "Not when you want him to! He's an idiot."

"Hey I'm right here!"

Illume: "..."

"I'll shut up now."

Blue-Haired Girl: "Thanks you're doing us all a favour, now to handle my own little idiot."

And here's where a little bit of action comes in, the girl ducks as one of the fireballs comes towards us and it melts the towns Golden statue of peace.

"Well I'd hate to be that guy, but looks like that statues having a bad day, good grief so much for the town of peace. Hey so what's your name water girl?"

Blue-Haired Girl: "Shut up... I need. To. Concentrate."

"Oh sorry."

Blue-Haired Girl: "Name's Aqua."

As soon as the conversation ends, guess what happens next. Fireballs. A lot of fireballs, coming our way.

"Well guess we're toast ol' buddy."

Illume: "Can you just not be pessimistic for five seconds!"

"Do you see all those fireballs!"

Aqua: "Nah nothing I can't handle."

Me & Illume: "Huh?"

This chick is literally a bombshell, she's cool and she has this aura that's calm like the ocean. As she began to ready herself you could just tell she would handle herself in a fight.

As soon as each ball of flame reached her she evaded them, and as she continues to evade she draws closer to Pyro who's strangely silent.

"Is it just me or is this chick freakin awesome, hey Illume that's my girlfriend."

Illume: "She is awesome but she's not your girlfriend if she was you would've told me about her a long time ago."

"Yeah True."

Aqua: "You two never shut up do you?"

As she says that she smirks and all I see is water rising out from the ground.

"Uh is that sewer water? Hey Illume we're gonna be swimming in doodoo water."

Illume: "Dude that's just gross."

The water seems to surround her protecting her from the fireballs and as each fireball gets hurled towards her she just continues to walk calmly.

"I guess she doesn't need to dodge anymore?"

Illume: "Yeah but I bet she's gonna smell pungent after that"

"Nah the water ain't even touching her"

She walks and walks and walks but my biggest problem is why ain't Pyro doing much he's just standing there while the fire surrounds him and floats toward us at high speeds, luckily blue girl over there is helping us or we'd be goners.

And then the most peculiar thing happens. As she reaches Pyro, she does nothing but...

Kiss him

But Before that happens I yell: "Slap him with a water whip!"

And then the kiss happens.

"Oh..."

I look at Illume and he's as baffled as I am.

Illume & I: "Whaaaat!"

"He literally tried to kill us! Kill the douchebag! Don't kiss him you idiot! Or better yet kiss me!"

Aqua: "Why wouldn't I kiss him, he's my boyfriend and besides this calms him down more then anything else."

Finally Pyro speaks: "Huh babe?"

Meanwhile I and Illume are confused as heck: "Pyro has a girlfriend!"

"Wow guess it's TRUE , all the douchebags do get the hot chicks, wow I'm... I'm... not even surprised."

Illume: "So would you mind explaining to us what just happened, why you have those abilities and why has Pyro been losing himself in anger more often?"

"And why he's such an asshole too."

Illume adds to his statement saying: "Yeah, that too" Then laughs.

But before she could respond Pyro chimes in: "We don't have to explain anything to you two dorks."

And they walk off just like that saying nothing...
