Chapter [#2]
Narrators POV
An old man in a cloak walked into the neighborhood in which Olivia lived. Everyone stared at him as he walked around.
Olivia's POV
I smiled brightly as I dived into the ocean, "wait up!!!" Oliver laughed as my five brothers ran after me with surfboards, buggy boards, buckets for picking up sea shells, and dad brought out our special maid sandcastle buckets. They were big and made the best structures ever!!! Plus our family is known for our sand castles/structures. I smiled and dived down, feeling the salty cold water against my skin, it's the best feeling ever. When I got up to the surface my family wasn't there, I got out of the ocean and looked around. Then a man in a cloak came up to me, "Can I help you?" I asked slightly shaking a bit. Not because of the cold feeling you feel when the air blows on you after getting out of any body of water, but because of the fear I was feeling. He walked up closer to me, I dived into the water, and swam out to sea. Then I saw a fin, a shark fin, I screamed and swam back to shore. I was lucky I lived, I ran to my house but let out a loud scream when the man grabbed me. My family came outside and went pale, mom got the phone and called 911 but the last thing I saw and heard before the man knocked me out was, "Olivia!!!!!!!" And my parents and brothers running after me.
Narrators POV
The man came to the rough and tough city, where biker gangs, criminal activity, and the houses looked like total shit (pardon my language... but it's true) the sound of motorcycles rumbled around. But the old man soon came to a school, he walked into the school.
Jason's POV
I walked into class, "mr Johnson?" The teacher asked me, "Yeah?" I asked. "It's 4th period" she said angrily. "Yeah so what?" I asked and sat down, "you're loosing your education!" The teacher said glaring at me. "Yeah so what?" I asked again, "why were you in so late?" The teacher asked me. "My Alarm clock didn't go off, I had to take my motorcycle to the shop, I had to get my hair done, and I had to get more clothes so I can look cool" I chuckled. "That's all more important than school?" The teacher asks, I nodded yes. "Who's he?" Cole asked, I turned around to see an old man in a cloak. "How did you get in?" The teacher asked, the man walked up to me, "what do you want?" I asked him glaring at me. "Even when he glares he's hot" Justine sighed dreamily, I flashed a smile before turning to the guy again who then knocked me out.
Narrators POV
The old man walked to a huge huge mansion where you could hear screaming, the old man snuck through the back door.
Tatiana's POV
"I said I wanted a pony!!!!!!" I screamed angrily, "honey we looked for a pony" dad said to me. "Then why don't I have one?" I asked angrily, "the places where they sell ponies are going through a rough winter and they can't be brought to us" mom said, I let out a scream. Then a guy in a black cloak walked into the room. "Who are you?" I asked him angrily, "security!!!" Dad screamed, but he knocked me out and vanished before the security guards came.
Narrators POV
The man in the cloak came to the neighborhood where Cathy lived, the sound of loud screaming echoed through the neighborhood.
Cathy's POV
I ran after my cousin who was visiting, he had taken my bag of candy!!!! I screamed and screamed at him running and running. "Cathy stop being so loud!" Dad called, "then make Donny give me back my candy!" I called angrily. Dad came down, Donny gulped and gave me my candy back. "Thank you" I said but glared at Donny. "Now be quiet" dad said, but literally 3 seconds Donny took my hair brush and I was screaming and running. But then Donny and I stopped, there stood a man in a black cloak. "dad?!!!" I screamed, "no figure it out yourself!" He called. Then mom came back from work, she saw what was happening, she let out a scream. Then the man grabbed me "mom! Dad!" I cried. The last thing I heard before being knocked out was "Cathy!!!!!"
Narrators POV
The man in the cloak came to the town where Xander lived.
Xander's POV
I groaned in annoyance when My sisters let out a loud squeal from the room next to mine. It's hard being the only guy in the family, I looked at a picture of my dad and I. He and I went hiking in the woods, that was the day before he headed into the army. Then 4 months later he was killed in while in battle, I felt some tears fall down my cheeks. He died when I was 6 and it was on my 6th birthday too, but ever since dad died it was just my mom, my sisters and me. Then there was a knock on my door, I opened it to see a man in a cloak. "Uhhh hello" I said, mom came running up quickly. Mom knows when we're in trouble. She let out a scream, the second I look at the guy I was knocked out.
Narrators POV
Now the man came to the village Lexi lives in, people looked at him suspiciously.
Lexis POV
my friends, Jane, Nevaeh, and Anna were over at the house for a sleep over. "I brought snacks" mom said coming in with chips and humus, fruit, pretzels, cotton candy, cookies, and crackers. "Thanks mom" I said smiling at her. "No problem honey" mim said and walked out. "So do you still have a crush on Felix?" Jane asked me, I nodded yes, "then why don't you talk to him?" Nevaeh asked me. "You know I'm nervous and can get shy when I even go close to him " I sighed. "We'll help you out with that nervousness and shyness" Anna said smiling, "thanks" I said smiling. Then there was a knock on the door, thinking it was mom, I called "Come in!" But it wasn't mom It was a man in a cloak. He walked towards me, I was afraid. I scooted back, but then i was knocked out.
Narrators POV
The man in the cloak came to the Big beautiful house in the country where Cameron's dad and mom bought so they could go and preform in the country performance.
Cameron's POV
I smiled brightly as I took dance lessons from my teacher. I had finished singing lessons so I'm doing my dance lessons. "excellent Cameron" mr Francisco said smiling, I smiled back. Mom and dad then came in, "now lets practice on the stage" mom said smiling. I gulped a big, I'm very afraid to go on stage you know and I can't do anything about it. Mom and dad took me on a stage with no one there, they put music on but I was too scared to do anything. Mom and dad came on stage with me. I hugged them crying, "I can't do it!!" I sobbed. "It'll be Okay" mom said smiling at me, then a man in a cloak came on stage. He threw my parents away from me and knocked me out
Narrators POV
"Last house" the man in the cloak said as he came to a school, Asher's school.
Asher's POV
I smiled as I solved the hard math problem on the board, "you never fail to impress me Asher" mr Franchise said smiling. I nodded happily, but couldn't help but think about that girl at the pool. She always visits the pool, even in the winter with an indoor pool. Then the fire alarm went off and I smelt smoke. Everyone walked out, but before I got to the door I was knocked out by some guy in a cloak

I can see it now
Just how it will be
And don’t even ask how
Or what will be the key
I think of all that is lost
And can’t even bare the cost
To know they suffer
But no one will offer
A way out
Or a new place
Or even a new rout
But to stick your sorrows in a case
I leave her tonight
And don’t give thought to all in sight
Not wanting that pain
As in the ground she is lain
Before I let a single tear go
I turn away
As I sob an ‘Oh’
And say I’m okay
I can’t believe she’s gone
Leaving behind her sweat John
Without saying a single good-bye
In heartache we sigh
Not wanting to cry there
But her spirit surrounds us
We see her everywhere
Form every home to every bus
But we can’t bear to say good-bye
As to us everyone will lie
We fall to the ground in pain
As dirt goes in, where she was lain
And our souls say their last good-bye
Just how it will be
And don’t even ask how
Or what will be the key
I think of all that is lost
And can’t even bare the cost
To know they suffer
But no one will offer
A way out
Or a new place
Or even a new rout
But to stick your sorrows in a case
I leave her tonight
And don’t give thought to all in sight
Not wanting that pain
As in the ground she is lain
Before I let a single tear go
I turn away
As I sob an ‘Oh’
And say I’m okay
I can’t believe she’s gone
Leaving behind her sweat John
Without saying a single good-bye
In heartache we sigh
Not wanting to cry there
But her spirit surrounds us
We see her everywhere
Form every home to every bus
But we can’t bear to say good-bye
As to us everyone will lie
We fall to the ground in pain
As dirt goes in, where she was lain
And our souls say their last good-bye
It is sad how we must leave each other,
But it is something we must do in life,
So accept the fact that we do,
And leave now.
We go our separate ways in life,
Towards our careers that we prefer.
Although we must leave each other
We still have each other's memories
Tucked safely in our heart.
We leave
But we make new friends
The leaving might break our hearts
We understand that it is something
We must do.
It is something we do
To grow in life
To build character.
We go our separate ways in life
Though sad,
However helpful.

How I long to be back in my sweet haven,
Covered in blankets,
Replenished with water and the works,
Right now.
But.
I am not always so lucky to have one
For I am not your regular kid
Who always is lucky to have everything
For...
I am not a kid
I am not a person with a home
I am...
An infamous vagabond
Known for many cases of murder
And everything that I consider to be
My hobby.
I love being a bad vagabond.
Being bad's how I live.
So live with it.
Or get killed.
This.
Very.
Instant.

Fire.
It is destruction.
But yet,
it shines beauty, and;
it is the gift of rebirth,
new beginnings,
the strength that boils within your soul,
bumbling deep inside
beneath the surface
waiting for you to
spread your wings like a phoenix,
showering you with the fire
waiting to burst to the surface and shine.
Fire,
its energy,
raw and primal energy
one so old,
the flames cry a thousand tears,
of souls lost within its flames,
their souls,
live within the fire's kiss
eternally,
becoming one with the fire,
and be reborn,
forever and eternal
as a phoenix...
the soul immortal
as is the fire,
wild, passionate, primodial
can it be tamed?
No. can love be tamed? No
Love is like the fires....untamed, unstoppable...
it consumes,
like a fire's kiss.
Do you dare to play a fire's game??
