Chapter 1

Sounds of laughter, crying toddlers, dishwasher machines and a pair of teenagers helping the adults unset the table where they had just eaten. That's how most evenings where for the Mondey family, which, despite insisting of 6 children, lived in a quite big household.

All the family members looked pretty much the same. Dark eyed brunettes with tanned like skin. Except for one. Besides, Kimon wasn't an actual part of family Mondey.

His mother left the family's parents to look after him, since she had to go on a business trip. But this wasn't the first time. Adalie, a single mother, had to work hard to earn money for her and her son. Unfortunately, she couldn't always take her son with.


~~~

The blonde boy, whose hair was dyed that way, went upstairs to get ready for bed. As he looked  himself on the bathroom mirror with those big sparkly eyes that matched his mother's, he decided it was about time he dyed his hair again. His roots were way too obvious now. Probably the darkest black you've ever seen. Must have gotten it from his father... But Kimon liked dying his hair blonde. It felt like him.

But it was at that moment that he took a look at his hands. As they were holding his weight by holding the bathroom sink, there was black liquid coming of the part where the finger was joint with the nail. His big eyes widened even more and in panic he tried to wash of the liquid that stained the sink with water.

Thank goodness it wasn't strong enough to destroy the sink in any way. It still had the form of water. However, kimon knew very well that dark magic got stronger with time and there wasn't enough left before it would become much worse.

A door knock could be heard followed by a child's voice saying
-Kimon are you doneeeee?
-Just a second!
The response was quick and so was the thinking behind it. He looked at his hands again, only to realise the darkness was still there. He put then in his pants' pockets and got out of the bathroom letting the little kid enter.

He was now laying in one of the couches, that had been set by the mother. That's where kimon used to sleep when he was there.

He looked at his hands once more. No sign of relief could be heard from him. There was no need to anyway.
-It's way worse than last time.
Shocked, Kimon raised his head from the pillow to see who was talking.

It was stupid of him to not have checked earlier, but thankfully it was Bella, the eldest of the 5 Mondey children. A good friend of Kimon who already knew his secret.

She walked forward and sat on an armchair next to the "bed"
-I just came to say goodnight, sorry to scare you.
She said.
Kimon knew she came to ask about his hands and replied without a question being asked
-At least it doesn't damage things.
He said and added a fast and quiet "yet".
-Shouldn't a doctor check on you?
-No! It was difficult enough to tell this to you. Imagine If doctors knew about it. Besides, they can't do anything to help me.
-Okay, okay! Sorry I'm worried about your finger tips.
She said walking to the door and smiling.
-Goodnight.
Her beautiful voice really sounded like a song
-Goodnight Bella.

He fell asleep with the same anxious mind he  often had these 3 last months.










Chapter 2


Darkness. Nothing but darkness. Kimon was standing there, waiting the magic to do its thing. Then it happened. Big wide cracks formed over the wall and ground, if there was one of course. Then, gas of black colour came out of the cracks. It was harmless but, still pretty terrifying to look at. The gas soon turned into liquid. A dark watery portion, yet still doing no harm. As it turned more and more solid, it  damaged everything in it's way. No, it didn't burn them, it just magicly turned them into nothing. Just dust that was sucked by the air.

Kimon was looking at this in amaze and despair. As if it hadn't been the 4rth time this month he was seeing this. The liquid touched kimon's feet and denying the laws of physics, it crawled it's way up to his body. It turned Into solid black rock disappearing with the boy's body. He was now floating into nothing, not touching the ground. He closed his eyes shut. Nothing happened. He tried again as his shoulders were now gone.
-Kimoooon!!

He finally woke up from his nightmare. He had also raised his head so quickly he felt dizzy.

-Don't be late for school. Come on...
Although Bella didn't seem she was yelling, it was her shouting that woke up Kimon. Or so he thought.

He was now facing the bathroom mirror again. Looking dead serious into his own eyes. A boy with kind-hearted energy, yet still looked terrifying when angry.

They got ready and together with Bella, they walked to school which was a few blocks down the road.

-So, I forgot to tell you, but there is this boy that...

Her voice continued bit kimon's mind had stopped. The took a look at his hand which to his relieve was okay. No darkness.

But, still, he didn't want to hear Bella's boy problems. Not that he could help much anyway.

it's not finished, I just wanted to show something

Chapter one of one of my many stories

James and Savanna appeared quite nervous, their faces tinted with a very subtle and delicate shade of pink. Savanna had chosen a light blue skirt that gently flowed down to her knees, paired with a cozy pink sweater that hugged her body. Meanwhile, James had opted for a more casual look, wearing a pair of blue jeans and a vibrant red sweater that contrasted nicely with his fair complexion. As the morning sun peered through the window, the peaceful silence in the room was interrupted by a loud shout from their mother, reminding them that it was time for school. Responding promptly, James hollered back down the stairs, assuring his mother that he was on his way. Savanna let out a sleepy yawn as she hoisted her backpack onto her shoulders and trailed after her brother down the stairs. The bright morning sun was already warming up the room, causing her to regret her choice of attire. James, Savanna, and their group of friends found themselves on a particularly grueling day at school. The hours seemed to drag on endlessly as they chatted and passed the time, trying to make the day go by faster. During one of these conversations, Savanna's friend Jane issued a bold challenge to James. She dared him to venture into the abandoned school located on North Street. Despite the potential risks and unknown dangers that lay ahead, James appeared intrigued by the idea. He mustered up his courage and confidently said, "Yes, I accept the dare!". Savanna suddenly feeling nauseated cried out in pain as she ran to the bathroom. Jane laughed “I bet you won't even last an hour in that place!” James mumbled “I bet there are a lot of things that we can get hurt on there but I don't care”
