DEAD END: INSIDE THE SUPERNATURAL

Another day

CHAPTER FIVE

It's been a week now since daxon younger sister died but his wounds are still fresh and the pain and hate still fills his heart

Meanwhile Almiron still hadn't found out yet that he was amongst the few people in the world to have supernatural abilities he didn't know yet that he was a necromancer.

He arrived at campus and parks his car as he grabs his bags.

He gets out of his car and walks straight into the school building while using his phone.

He's late for class, but it doesn't matter because the professor will never notice him anyways, as he is extremely old and has been teaching this class for over twenty years now, with very little interest in anything that goes on around him. Soon later almiron and zayn are done with their class as they walk into an eatery to get lunch. They get their meals and sest together.

Unknowingly to them daxon had followed them to that restaurant and taken a seat far from them, watching them with anger and hate he attracts the shadow of the cup next to him as he thinks of his name and the shadow forms his name then he thinks of an arrow and the shadow changes its shape to and arrow then he thinks of a knife and once again it changes its shape to a knife.

"Having a good time after destroying my life." He mutters to himself as he watches them eat.

Once Zayn is finished he leaves the food and drinks and leaves to go get some more.

After they were finished eating Almiron looked at his watch and noticed that they would be heading back to campus soon so they decided to just head home. On their way out of the eatery zayn takes a glance at daxon with a smile on his face using his eyes to let him know

that he noticed him from the beginning then he walks out with almiron. "Well see you tomorrow, Have fun." Zayn said before leaving him behind. Once outside Almiron looks at daxon who was seated close to them.

It was quite obvious by the way daxon glared that he had formed an unknown hatred for him. Almiron quickly ignored him knowing that he wasn't worth worrying about and turns away to continue walking. After some time daxon equally gets up and leaves too as the shadow returns back to the cup.

Almiron sits in his room looking out the window with a frown on his face, thoughts about the previous days still flows through his head as he listens to music he had downloaded onto his laptop when a mockingbird files into his room and perched on his desk. The birdie had a bright blue colour of feathers that were beautiful to look at.

"Hmmm." He says with a smile on his face as he stretched out his index finger and the little birdie perched on it.

The birdie entering his room had brightened up his mood before he noticed something unusual happened to the bird.

Its bright blue colour began to darken as almiron noticed that its body shape had changed. As he continued looking at it the little birdie now resembled something completely different than what it originally was.

An ominous aura started to surround the bird like a thick fog filled the air. With each passing second the bird lost more and weight looking really skinny.

After a few minutes the bird falls to his table looking lifeless as almiron unknowingly sucked out all the life from the beautiful bird.

"No!" He says in shock as the expression on his face said it all.

"What is this... what just happened?" He pick up the lifeless body of the bird as he stares at it in shock and surprise.

*~~*

A bunch of keys chuckle together as daxon opens his door and walks in, he drops his bags on the couch and takes a sit while pulling out almiron and zayn picture out of his pocket, he stares at it for a while before looking at jasmine picture sitting on the side table.

“Hhmmm.” He sighs

He gets up as he takes off his t-shirt and heads to the bathroom, while in the bathroom he looks at his reflection in the mirror and on his body (his left arm to be precise) there was a black snake tattoo spiraling around up to his shoulder. This tattoo wasn’t there before but as his sister died and he slept with so much pain that evening he woke up the next morning only to discover the tattoo there.

He enters the shower and comes out almost immediately. While walking to his desk he slightly waves his hand and steals the shadow of the side stool near his bed, daxon had fully accepted the fact that he had an extraordinary gift, he takes a sit at his desk as he looks at the shadow with no emotion on his face.

Then he thinks of a pocket knife and the shadow changes it shape to it, he then tries to pick the shadow as he realizes that he cant use the knife to harm himself or anyone, he couldn’t even physically touch the shadow knife.

*~~*

Almiron walks back into his room as he had gone to dispose of the birds corpse, he sat down on his bed and took a deep breath, after everything that has happened to him he was finally ready to accept the fact that he might have supernatural gift.

There were so many times he wanted to explain everything he saw to zayn or maya but he thought they would think he’s crazy so he just kept everything to himself.

As he closes his eyes and tries to rest, he feels a very small but sharp pain on his neck but discards it then he decides to take a walk.

*~~*

Daxon watches the shadow’s movements as it changes it shape to whatever he thinks of while he’s also busy planning the way he’s supposed to take his revenge on zayn and almiron.

‘Do I expose this gift to the world, what would the government do if they find out about me.’ He thinks to himself.

*~~*

Almiron walks out of the house as he heads towards a nearby forest, he had been there for almost 10 minutes as he sits down in a random place under a tree. He takes out his laptop and clocks on it then begins flicking through the internet.

Ever since he started seeing the dead he had been searching for something, anything that can tell him whether he’s crazy or not, he finally found a website that explained that some people had this unique or rather strange power in them, but most people believed it was all staged, they believed it was a trick, a way for people to gain fame and money.

Little did they know that everything single thing was real, the government tried to keep things like this from the world.

While scrolling through the site he finds a odd video of someone using he’s abilities.

He was practicing cryomancy and dropped the temperature of an iron rod down to -272° Celsius, that’s 1 degree below absolute zero.

He keeps his eyes glued to the video as the guy drops the surroundings temperature down to -7° Celsius and everything around him began to freeze, not long after that the camera couldn’t handle the intense cold temperature and the lens broke as the video ended.

“Jeez.” He says with a surprise tone.

Yet he was equally relieved that he wasn’t a freak or to put it in normal terms he wasn’t the only one with this ability

He closes he's laptop and looks at the time on his phone.

Concluding it was time to get going he packs his pc but while he was about to get up he noticed a beautiful red rose next to him

It looked so beautiful that he couldn’t hold himself back from removing it from its roots.

He picks it and takes a nice sniff

‘Well it technically has no smell.’

He thought to himself then a thought entered his mind

‘Can I do it again?’ he asked himself.

Suddenly he looks at the rose with a strong gaze focusing all his attention at it.

Then the rose began to lose its bright red colour as he sucks the life out of it, the rose pebbles fall to the ground as it slacks out of his hand.

He looks at it but with less surprises this time.

He picks another rose and does the exact same thing

‘I wander what else I can do.’ He thought to himself.

But he felt something within him he felt the urge of killing something bigger, something that has more life that urge started flowing through his mind as he drops the dead rose and looks at his hands.

‘Hmmm guess like I have to live with it.’

He picks up he’s computer and leaves.

*~~*

At daxon lonely apartment, there he was in the dining sitting alone having dinner.

This felt weird for him because he and his sister always ate together at the table, and that was just the beginning, the whole house was quite, he had no one to talk to and there were no voices, all this just drove him to the darkness more and more.

While eating his cereal, he tries to get more milk and his hand unknowingly knocks down he’s phone under the table.

He paused for a while gets up from his sit and bends over trying to get his phone.

Under the table was shielded from light, it was dark and had shadows.

While still searching for his phone he puts his hand on the darkest part under the table and something strange happened to his hand.

His hand went into the shadow, like the shadow was a portal to and location, it sucked his hand in and when he noticed that his hand wasn’t on a surfaced area he quickly looks under only to see that his wrist is inside the shadow.

“What in the hell?..” he says to himself.

He quickly pulls his hand out of the shadows and feels it with concern, thankfully nothing happened to his wrist while it was in the ‘other side.’

He looks under the table at the same spot again with curiosity as he stretches his hand forward again trying to touch that exact same spot.

His wrist smoothly slips into the shadow once more and his fingers couldn’t feel anything on the ‘other side.’ It was like his hand were in a void space.

He pulls it out once more but instead of a surprised look on his face it was the opposite.

He looks at his hand once more.

“Interesting.” He says to himself with a big smirk on his face.

*~~*

Almiron had gotten home and in his room were three dead rose right on his floor, it seemed he had done some more activities with the roses

And there he was in his room standing by he's desk looking at his calendar and what was circled there.

He’s mother’s death anniversary was the next day, it was one of the worst days of his life because it reminded him of the fact that he never got the motherly love he deserved.

there was always this emptiness inside him one day every year and that day was tomorrow

"tomorrow it is." he muttered to himself then looks at his wardrobe and says

"what am I even gonna wear."

He turned away and went to his closet as he tries to figure out what he was going to wear to go pay respect to his deceased mother.

He grabs an all black outfit as he rolls his eyes forward, he drops the outfit back and pick up he's phone while laying on his bed

He opens his phone and there was a message notification from maya but he ignored it.

He opens his G****e search and typed in necromancer as it educates him on everything about necromancy.

He searches for some stores that sells necromancer magic books.

Feeling tired he sets his mind to go get the books tomorrow and find out more about this magic after he gets back from paying respects to his mom.

He drops down his phone then switches off the lights and snooze off.
