Life after death
"Hey new kid" shouted a kid from behind Phoenix. "What do you think your doing at our table?!" You know we always sit here...or we do now!" *luaghter* Phoenix turned around to find a mass of kids standing in a group all smiling and laughing as they walked towards him. Phoenix turned around and opened his lunch ignoring the fact that the leader had put his hand on Phoenix's head "I'am so glad that a new kid would be so willing to give me their lunch for free! Did your mother make this?...No wait, she couldn't she's dead just like all of ours! It's really good..I bet if she made it, it would have tasted so much better!" *more laughter* "Listen kid.." the child whispered into his ear "My name is Everous, and everyday that you live in this orphanage it will be a living hell and you will do everything I tell you, got it!" Phoenix stood up from the table and started to walk away from the kids, but before he could take a step out from the door he was slammed into it with brute force. "I didn't give you permission to leave now did I?" All of a sudden out of the corner of Phoenix's eyes he saw Everous' head slam through the wall and fall on the floor limp and all of the other kids running off. Phoenix stood up and wiped the blood from his nose and mouth and saw a hand reached out towards him. *I didnt know what to do...could this be another one of those kids..but he did slam that thug into that wall...maybe I can trust this kid* "I don't need your help, but thanks" spoke Phoenix " "It seemed like you were having a hard time with those kids..just felt like giving you a hand...you know they did that to me the first time I sat at that table, but I taught them a lesson...why didn't you fight back, it seems like you have muscle..." said the mysterious child "I didn't want to make it worse, like last time..." murmered Phoenix "Are you that kid that was transfered from that other orphanage? Everybody said you burned the whole place down and everybody in it...is this true? Or is it a rumor?" the kid sat down beside Phoenix on a table "By the way I'm Josh, promise not to burn me?!" *laughing out loud*.....Phoenix stared at the ground and started to draw a picture of the old man "You know it was just a joke..but com'on did you really burn the place down?" *silence* "yeah..." said Phoenix looking up at Josh "I killed them all..." Josh backed up as if he was a little uneasy in the stomach "Well, I guess it was true." Josh looked at the picture on the ground and felt an odd dejavu feeling.."By the way whats that your drawing?" Phoenix jumped in startlement not noticing that he was drawing a picture and quickly wiped it away with his sleave. "Nothing..just something I'm trying to forget." "What do you mean? Is it your dad..grandpa?..cousin...oh wait I know!" Phoenix looked up at him actually expecting he might know "It's the janitor! A'm I right?" "yeah..it's him" said Phoenix sarcasticaly "I'm good at these games..anyway, we should go before the principal comes." "I guess." "I can see us being good friends!" Josh slung his hand over Phoenix's back and started to walk with Phoenix when all of a sudden Phoenix heard a familliar whisper in his ear saying "You will fight in a battle of the end, you and four others will end everything with your mighty powers that I will soon bestow upon you." Phoenix turned his head and saw nothing. "You say something Josh?" "No." Phoenix looks at the ground and continues to walk kicking dust in the air "Thats' what I thought..."
