Chapter 1: The Dream
Where am I? Everything here was so white. Who am I? There was snow drifting down from the sky. It was like the clouds were falling. I look around and see a black stain on the snow in the distance. I should go and see what is ruining the pure whiteness. I run over to where it is and see a woman. Her hair was blonde and it shined in the light. Her skin was fair and peach. Her cheeks were red from the cold. This woman was beautiful.
I walk up to her and walk next to her. Her features were more beautiful the more I looked at her, but who was she? I try to speak to her, but nothing comes out. Am I real? I sigh and look at the woman again. She was holding something in her arms. A ball of cloth. Something was moving inside and I looked deep inside. It was a child. A baby boy to be exact. His hair was blonde and was shining like liquid gold. His eyes where two different colors. The right one was red as in crimson blood. The left one was blue as in ice, but like a calm sky. The boy looked at me and laughed as if I was there. Was I really real?
The woman looks at the child and smiles. "Do not worry my child. We shall be out of the cold soon. We are almost home, Four." The child's name was Four. It has a very unique tone about it. We walk for a couple of minutes until another black stain appears ahead of us. Four's mom smiles. "We are home, Four." We reach the porch and the door opens. A man comes out and looks at Four and his mom. Who was this guy?
I look at Four and his mom and she smiles. "Hello Lance. We are okay, but they are right on our tail. I can sense them." This guy was Lance, but i was more concerned of who was chasing them. Lance smiles and I notice his features. His hair was like hazelnut brown and his eyes were red, but a much lighter color than Four's right eye. When he smiled I could see his dimples show from his cheeks.
He walks up to them and gives them a big hug. I look at his eyes and I can see the fear in his eyes. He was scared of losing both Four and Donna? What does this guy have anything to do with them? I walk inside with them and Lance is holding Four in his arms. "My son. My only son. I hope you will forgive us." Lance was the father of Four! But what did Lance mean when he wants him to forgive him? I follow them upstairs into a room and on the floor I see a symbol like a star in a circle, but there are weird symbols in between them.
I see them put Four on the ground and then I see Donna's face. It was covered in tears. I felt like my heart ripped into two. Why was she crying? I walk up to her and I see the distress on her face. I can hear her whispering, "I'm sorry." I look at Lance and he wasn't crying, but I could see the sadness in his eyes. They look at each other and Lance nods. They touch the edges of the circle and start to chant words. The circle turned black and the star turned white. A light was flowing around Four. The light was going black and white.
I look at the light and walk towards it. I touch it and I see Donna and Lance open their eyes. Their eyes fasten on me as if I'm there. I look at them and I look at Four. I smile and then I notice a necklace around Four's neck. It had weird symbols on it too. I kneel down and touch Four's face. Who are you? Who am I? I look to Donna and Lance that are staring at me with shocked eyes. I smile at them and try to speak, but nothing comes out of my mouth. I sigh and look at the sky. The magic ends and Four is asleep. Donna looks at Lance without anything to say.
Downstairs, I hear a noise and the whole house shakes. I almost lose my ground, but I stand firm. I look at Lance and I see the anger on his face. Donna touches Lance on the arm and that anger melts away. Donna was like the light and Lance was like the darkness. They both need each other. I understood now, but I was curious to find out what was downstairs. I see Lance pick up Four in his arms. He hugs him and I see a tear roll down his cheek. I could hear him whispering something in Four's ear. "I'm so sorry. I can only hope that you will meet me again and you can forgive me. We have to leave you to leave the fate that was meant for you. Just always remember that we love you."
They were leaving Four, but who is going to take care of Four? Why do all my questions become unanswered?! The house shakes again and I almost lose my footing. I try to regain my footing and look at Lance. Lance puts Four into a wooden woven basket. I see him take out a pearl earring and pierce Four's ear. Then he takes off his ring and puts it into Four's hand. Finally he takes a golden lion and a silver dragon from a box that I haven't seen and places them in the basket with Four. "Four, these shall be your greatest companions. Walk with them and guide them through the darkness and the light. If the whole world turns on you keep fighting till you've reached the end. They shall stand with you and be by your side through whatever weather and whatever condition. I hope that you will follow what I have shown you for what little time that I have with you. I love you Four, with all my heart."
Lance smiles and kisses Four on the cheek and leaves. Then Donna comes over and she has a katana. "Four I can't give you anything except for my love and my most sacred treasure, my katana. It is a Japanese sword, and you will not know where you were born, but I can only tell you what you mean to me. I love you Four and if the whole world tells you no, then you fight that. Keep fighting even if you are tired keep fighting until the end. Then you can rest, but only if you are done with everything. One person told me that 'FEARLESS is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again....even though every time you've tried before you've lost.' I hope that you have learned something today and apply it to your life. Always remember me." Donna kisses Four on the forehead and puts her katana in the basket. The house shakes violently than before and it knocks me off of my feet. I fall and the world blacks out.
I slowly open my eyes and suddenly get up. My head starts to throb, but I don't pay much attention to it. I get up and look at the basket. They were all asleep still and Donna and Lance were gone. They left Four! But I think they did it because they thought that this was the best for him. I sigh and I hear footsteps. I freeze and see a shadow from in front of the door. The door opens and I see a man with gold eyes just like a cat. His aura was scaring me. Then I hear a cry in the basket. Four was awake and this man was probably going to kill him. I grit my teeth and position myself to attack, but the man blinks and his eyes turn into a hazelnut brown. It looked like chocolate and I was going to melt into them. His aura changed to a soothing breeze. He walks past me and looks into the basket. He picks up Four and I see Four smile. The guy had black hair and a smooth chin. He was muscular and to many people he could be known as handsome. He played with Four and took out the lion, dragon, katana, and ring.
"These must all be yours. I have known your mother and father for a very long time. You are the next generation and I shall take care of you, but you will have to learn to train to become faster than fast quicker than quick. You shall become my son and I shall raise you as my own. Let us journey on a start of a new adventure." Then the world fades out.
