My Demons

*Monday, November 4, 2013*

   "Lucas, Get off your phone!" Mr.Hayes, a high school geometry teacher, yelled at his student who was obviously not paying attention to his lesson in the quadratic formula.

   Lucas Flores, a 17 year old Mexican-American male sporting a mohawk and full trimmed beard, 5'11 tall, both ears pierced with size 12 tapers, average size but with a little more muscle and fat. He was a bit of a street person, just not one of those stereotypical hood rats. He had some common sense, and "some" is used lightly. Being from the street he always knew there was the possibility of getting robbed so he always carried his knife with him in his backpack, this was no pocket knife either it had a 7.5 inch blade hunting resembling a bowie knife, it was in it's sheath so he didn't have to worry about it cutting up his bag. He also doesn't give a shit about life. He is what he likes to call insane, deranged, psychotic, sadistic, whatever fits the bill. Suicidal, homicidal, and open to cannibalism. Yep. One crazy ass beaner. Lucas takes two types of medication to keep him in check: Prozac for his depression and Lamictal for his violent tendencies. On this particular day, however, he had ran out of Lamictal. Anything could happen.

   "Say please and I might just acknowledge you," Lucas retorted not even looking up from his device to see the teacher, one  red and black earphone bud in his ear while the other hung down. He never liked this teacher in particular because he would grade his papers as "incomplete" even if one problem was left blank, so he was basically getting screwed out of a grade, after the first week of that class he just didn't give a fuck and did absolutely nothing in there. The sad part is that Mr.Hayes was letting him fail.

   The class fell silent hearing the commotion, some students pulled their phones out and started recording the two, the only noise that could be heard was the pitter patter of rain that was outside. Mr.Hayes now frustrated walked towards Lucas' desk and snatched the phone and earphones from the boy.

   "You can get these after detention," Mr.Hayes said walking towards his desk.

   "Yep," Lucas sighed to himself. Without word he got up and walked towards the math teacher who made the mistake of turning his back on such an individual. Lucas silently walked behind his teacher and immediately kicked Mr.Hayes in the back of his left kneecap causing him to fall backwards, yelling due to the sudden pain in his leg. During the fall Lucas grabbed the teacher around the neck with his right hand and pulled him down making a faster connection for his left knee to meet the teacher's back. The teacher fell to the floor moaning in pain but it wasn't over, Lucas knelt over him grabbing the collar of his shirt with his left hand and started punching him with his right. A loud smack was made each time his fist made contact to the face of the teacher, a loud sickening crack was made when Lucas connected a punch to Mr.Hayes' nose. Blood starting to drip from the teacher's mouth and nose, he was too much in pain to fight back. The beating went on for several seconds, everyone was too shocked to do anything but watch. Eventually Marcus, a student who was larger than Lucas, broke out of his state of awe and rushed towards the rampaging student. Marcus threw his arms around Lucas' sides and started pulling him away from the beaten, bloody teacher, that didn't stop Lucas from attacking as he started to kick the downed man until he was out of reach. The other students started to come from there state of awe as well, one girl had started to call the police and a boy ran out the room towards the neighboring classroom to warn a teacher. Marcus tossed Lucas away from Mr.Hayes as far as he could. Marcus and other students rushed towards the downed teacher. Lucas picked himself up  and started walking towards the direction of the group, he was half way there when Marcus noticed him and got up into a fighting stance.

   "Chill out, I'm just getting my shit back," Lucas said as he stopped two feet away from the larger student, picking up his items that were dropped.

   "You didn't have to go that far," Marcus said, still in his fighting stance.

   "Anything can happen when I don't have my mood stabilizers, I just so happen to run out of meds today. Besides, you should know better than to fuck with a crazy pendejo like me. Another thing too, I didn't go far enough," replied Lucas, licking the blood from his knuckles. Marcus was disgusted by the act and turned back to tend to the teacher. Lucas let out a light chuckle and walked out the room putting his backpack on. A neighboring teacher walked out of his classroom with the boy who called him and walked towards Lucas, ready to talk. "Yeah, yeah 'to the office' I know, do you wish to escort me?" Lucas interrupted.

   "Just go." The teacher told him.

*10 minutes later outside the front office*

   Lucas was in handcuffs, being escorted to a police cruiser by a female officer. The rain started to pour harder, thunder clapping in the distance.

   "So... why'd you do it?" The policewomen asked.

   "Because I hate Mondays," Lucas sarcastically said. The knife started to shift around in his backpack, poking him in the back. 'Fuck', he thought, forgot about that... Shit, I can't let her find this.' A lightning bolt struck about a mile away in the distance. 'Great, just fucking great, metal attracts electricity and I'm in fuckin' cuffs.' An idea formed in his head, 'Maybe if I stall long enough, a lightning bolt will strike close enough to surprise her, then I'll run. Maybe through the traffic and take the ally way that is connected. Although from there... just run like hell!'. More lightning struck a mile in the distance. "Jesus those are getting close..." Lucas mumbled loud enough for the officer to hear.

   "We're almost at the car so don't worry," commented the officer. The distance between the cruiser and the two was shortening by the moment, moments later Lucas stopped just about a foot away from the car. The policewoman stopped as well, "Keep going or I'll  have to drag you in."

   "What if I give you a kiss, will you let me free?" Lucas said jokingly... well slightly, she was quite attractive.

   "Nice try, but no" she replied.

   "How 'bout dinner? A movie? I did all this just to see you, baby." he lied.

   "Flattery gets you nowhere. Besides, I don't date convicts." she chuckled.

   Lucas gave a fake sad look and dropped his head, "Okay," he said defeated.

   "You're funny I'll give you that." The policewoman said. "Maybe if you were a bit older, and not a law breaker you might of had a-"

CRACK

   A bolt of lightning struck unbelievably close, about three feet away from the pair. The policewoman covered her ears because of the loud strike. All Lucas could do was flinch since his hands were cuffed, his ears were ringing in pain, however he saw this as the opportunity he's been waiting for and dashed as fast as he could away from the policewoman. He ran through the main gates that connected the parking lot to the road. Lucas didn't think, he just ran. He ran through the road not even stopping for cars, vehicles started to honk and and tires began to screech from the brakes that were suddenly stepped step on. The wet road was slippery, a car or two nearly hit Lucas. He made it to the sidewalk across the street and ran left towards an opening which was the alley way, trying to catch himself from falling because of the wet concrete. He heard the whining sirens of the police cruiser, its  cry came closer and closer to him. The alleyway had a dirt road covered in tire tracks and litter was scattered around. The cruiser came to a stop at the entrance of the ally way, the policewoman stepped out holding something like a shotgun. It was a bean bag gun, a special type of gun to drop a fleeing suspect dead in their tracks without seriously injuring them . She steadied her aim and got Lucas in the iron sights, she was about to pull the trigger until-

CRACK

   A bolt of lightning had struck Lucas, but this one unnatural. The bolt of lightning was a multicolored hue like a rainbow is and from the top of the rainbow colored bolt was something circular and purple, it looked like the bolt was coming out of a portal. As soon as it happened, it ended like a regular lightning bolt would. The policewoman halted to a complete stop... Lucas was gone! She went to look at the black charred spot where the escaping teenager once was, he had vanished!

   "What... the hell?"

   "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!!!!!" Lucas screamed. One second he was running from a cop, the next he's falling from God knows how high. He closed his eyes just waiting for it to happen, he wanted to die anyways... just not this painfully. Moments go by and he feels a warmth surround him, 'Please tell me I'm not in hell...', he thought. He hesitantly opened his eyes to see him still in the air, still falling but very slowly. A purple aura was surrounding his body, 'What the fuck is this?'.

   "Don't worry! I got you!" a female's voice called out.

   He looked down to see a purple unicorn with wings flying towards him. He was shocked by all these weird surprises, he closed his eyes and fainted.

*Earlier in Equestria*

   "Are you sure this is going to work?" Spike asked Twilight.

   "No, but it doesn't hurt to try. Besides, I want to know what this spell and all the others can do," Twilight replied reading the instructions to an unknown spell in an ancient spell book. She and her assistant Spike were in the Princess' old castle where the Tree of Harmony was looking for clues to find the keys of the mysterious box that appeared when the Tree of Harmony was restored. Well that's what she was supposed to do until she found an ancient spell book containing magic she's never heard of before.

   "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and o-kay, I think I got this!" Twilight exclaimed closing the book and setting it down with her magic. She closed her eyes and concentrated magic to her horn. A purple spotlight shined down from the clouds and shone over Twilight. Her eyes shot open, all white with a glow surrounding them. A rainbow colored lightening bolt shot out of her horn and pierced the sky where the purple light was shining down from. As soon as the bolt of magic shot out it had retracted itself back into her horn, during which her eyes closed and open again to return to their natural state. She looked at the sky and all there was is a purple circular like thing in the sky, it had swirls that went around until it ended.in the center. Twilight looked at it more closely, "What is tha-"

   "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!!" an unknown being said as it fell through the now disappearing circle in the sky.

   "Oh my Celestia, we have to do something!" Twilight exclaimed, she spread her wings and flew towards this new thing falling at an alarming rate. Her horn was beginning to be enveloped by her magic and she shot a beam of magic at this creature. The beam hit it's target and automatically surrounded the being in a purple aura. "Don't worry! I got you!" Twilight called out to this new being. Once in her magical grasp Twilight descended to the ground with the creature enveloped in magic. Once she landed she immediately checked checked on the creature to find it out cold.

   "What is that thing!?" Spike exclaimed.

   "I don't know, but we have to help it!" Twilight said grabbing Spike with a magical hold and beginning to fly off again with the baby dragon and the new creature.

   "Help it? It could be dangerous for all we know!" Spike replied but Twilight didn't listen.

They don't know how right he was...
