Cloaked In Red
[Chapter 12] Remembering Everything.
Previous ChapterI was unconscious for what seemed like a really long time. But, what I could see, was that boy again, I feel like I'm being lured towards him, like, I know him, but yet I don't. It's really frustrating. He had black hair, somewhat curly like the oceans rivers.
Green eyes that could see all and know all, the build of his body was that of a athlete, he was wearing black skinny ripped jeans with a black shirt that said Drowning Pool on it, with a bunch of skulls and a pentagram in the middle. He also had a pair of black and white Vans. I was literally in a space where I was hovering over the boy, like some sort of vision or memory that I could not decipher, but yet, I some what have a connection with this place.
Suddenly, the boy went for the stairs, as soon as he got about half way down them steps, he saw his Dad, his sister, Anti, Nan, and Grandad, along with his Mother, that looked like she had gone through some terrible experiences for the past months it would seem, all of her hair was gone, and my Dad and Nan saw me, my Dad walked past me, while my Nan gave me a hug and walked out the door. The boy tried to say something. He had no clue what was going on.
"What's going on? Where are you guys going?" The boy asked.
My sister is in front of him and replies with, "Don't worry about it Elliott, just going out for the day, go on your PC or something, like you always do." He looked at her, totally confused, but didn't say anything.
He just shrugged his shoulders and walked back up the stairs. Unknown of his, but his mother was staring at him with a sad look on her face. She walked out the door along with his sister.
Then the memory changed. It was night time in a different house, a large bed accompanied the room, while the same boy was sleeping in that bed, soundly. Until his sister barged through the door crying and shouting while Elliott Jolted awake in a panic.
"Elliott! Elliott!! Wake up please!" Lauren said while crying her eyes out.
"Wha- what's going on?" Elliott asked in a state of panic on his face, while trying to get the tiredness out of his eyes.
"It's Mum, shes not waking up! we need you to come to the Hospital, get dressed and get in the car." She said and quickly left the room.
"Wh-what....my mum isn't waking up?" Elliott had tears streaming down his face, while his body was suffering from some serious tremors of raw emotion. He quickly got up with vigor and got himself dressed as quickly as possible, before he headed out.
The whole scene switched to that of a Hospital, white walls white flaws, everything was white it was starting to annoy me. I was behind Elliott again, looking over his shoulder I could see his mum in critical condition, she had a massive tube going through her head, while Elliott was trying to overcome the urge to cry, while hugging his mother.
It wasn't a nice experience, even for me to just look at this whole situation. The whole scene switched again, and what it would look like through my eyes, was that we where all in one room, well I was in their room watching all the family patiently waiting for the news on what's going to happen to his mother. I knew something bad was going to happen, it always does, It looks like Elliott was situated right in the middle, waiting.
There was a guy in front of them all, sat down, and he was looking through a clip board, and from what I could tell, he had really bad look on his face, I mean, I wouldn't want to be the messenger of bad news, telling them that their love one is going to die is insanely harsh. The guy looked up, completely stoic, and everyone definitely noticed the look on their face, they knew what was coming, it was inevitable.
"Right, so the notes that I see here, is that Claire, was diagnosed with Melonoma cancer, and at certain stages it's not possible to treat. And she was at stage 3 now stage 4, I am really sorry." The guy paused, looking straight ahead, not at the family but just the wall, or the space beyond it.
The family was in tears, they knew it, but they wanted to deny it, like it was some shit dream. Elliott however was sat there, motionless, emotionless, not even a single tear, he just had a neutral look on his face, his Nan next him was hugging him, while he just stared out into space, god only knew what he was thinking about, or if he was thinking about anything at all.
"Im really sorry, but, Claire is only going to last a few months, maybe to Christmas, but that's pushing it." Even he was getting teary eyed.
"Well, Claire has always been a warrior, I know she will last a bit longer, shes fought a brilliant battle." Elliott's Nan suddenly said, crying her eyes out, while hugging Elliott.
Claire's brother suddenly hits the entrance door and storms out in tears. While the rest of the family is either in shock or crying their heart out. It's even making me feel like shit, it feels like I forgotten something really big, and this is all somehow connected...why am I even seeing this?
*Because these images are your memories* A voice I knew all too well said from behind me, I turned around and saw him, or rather It.
Everything around us stopped.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm apart of you, I'm always here, I am here and everywhere you go, I know what your memories entail and what you think on a daily basis, I know everything."
"Ah, well I guess that's true, so, what did you mean these are my memories, I don't recall being an emo kid, if I remember correctly, my Mother got killed by a demon while trying to save me and my brother, and this Kid here doesn't have a brother."
*Ah well, that's where your wrong, I mean your right, but wrong, what I mean is, is that you and Elliott are one in the same, or shall I be more simple and blunt for you?*
"Go ed." I said with a neutral tone.
"Well, when you got sucked in by that portal, everything about you changed, or how you where supposed to be, basically, You are Elliott, that got sucked into a portal after a mishap with a bunch of dick heads in Highschool, in the middle of the day. And I can't be assed explaining the details, I'll just show you the locked away memories inside of your head, are you ready for the truth? King?"
"Sure why not, make my life even more hell" I smirked. While Shiro smirked aswell, and waved his handed to summon up the memory, but that wasn't what I thought he was doing, he was replaying the same memory again, and it was pinpointed on Elliott.
Again, all I could feel from this kid was nothing, and usually I could tell what emotions a person is displaying. I looked away for the moment, focusing on some of the others that where there.
But I felt a very vicious and rage filled presence from behind me, I turned around and looked at the kid again, and his hair covered his face like some anime mc was about to explode.
"Why.....why did this have to happen?" Elliott whispered, his family barely heard what he said.
"What did you say Elliott?" Elliott's Nan asked.
"I said, why did this have to happen" He said in a higher tone of voice, making it clear to everyone in the room that he was really angry.
"I've been lied to, and my hopes have been brought up by you people, just for it crash and burn, one of you said she was going to be fine, while the doctors said she is going to pass with flying colours, what a load of bullshit."
Some of the family gasped at hearing a 13 year old swear for the first time.
Elliott stood up really fast, and grabbed the messenger by the throat and put him against the wall, bare in mind that the older guy weighed a lot more, and simply grabbing him by the throat and putting him up against the wall by a 13 year old is no easy feat.
Some of the family rushed to grab Elliott off of him, but none could, not even his own dad, he kept screaming at the guy.
"why WHY WHY! COULDN'T YOU HELP HER! YOU'RE DOCTORS AREN'T YOU, HOW CAN YOU FUCKING SIT THERE AND JUST SAY THAT!!!" Elliott was beyond help now, the family and the guy was fearing that he was gunna punch the shit out of him, or do something far more worse.
His father was still trying to drag him off him, and Elliott simply moved his hand out the way and aimed it towards his Dads stomach, punching him and sending him back to the chairs.
Elliott dropped the man and walked towards the door and smashed it open, while storming out. End of Memory.
"So, did you feel that presence when he got angry?" Shiro asked.
"Yeah I did, was that you?" It felt similar, chaotic, insane, and out of control, but now, you seem mellowed out and calm. Which is pretty scary to say the least."
"Yes well, a lot has happened and I've been sitting here in this stupid boring void, so I eventually gave up on taking your body and stuff, wouldn't really benefit me that much now that I think about it, all I'll get is you screaming at me, which I can not be assed with. But, if you want me to be my old self, I can and I might, but, they are for serious situations."
Sigh, "Fair enough." I said with a huff.
"Anyways, let's see another memory, this might, bring some insight to the situation, and for your understanding, trust me, it's grim." Shiro said darkly.
"I know the consequences, proceed." I said blankly. Shiro took notice and then turned around and switched the void to a new memory.
There where 4 people in total, all male, specifically in their teens, and from the surroundings it looked like we where in a highschool, that stunk of Deja vu. There was Elliott again or should I say me, even though Im still trying to wrap my head around it, I half believe and don't. Elliott was stood in front of the lads. In British cases, they are known as Chavs, in America, they'd say Jocks.
"Haha, look at you, ye bloody mong, you're a right twat aren't you? You bloody Emo, why don't you go slit your wrists and do the world a favor." Leader of the Dick heads shouted.
"Yeah, why don't you just fucking die? No one even likes you, you hang out with the same old 3 fuckin friends. And no one even likes them either, you're not popular or smart like us, we are in the higher sets while you are in the bottom sets, you sad little shit." Dick head number 2 also shouted.
Dick head number 3 and 4 just stood there laughing and pointing, Elliott's friends where stood a few away from them, watching. While Elliott just stood there and took it on the chin, by all means he was pissed off, and he just wanted to leave, but he was struck with fear, only because of the leader of the cunts, he was tall, a bit lanky but hella strong, he had took boxing matches aswell. Only to bully the lower set people, (Meaning lower grades).
"Why don't you just leave me the fuck alone, I haven't done anything to upset the pair of you, so why should you try and bully me?" Elliott said avoiding eye contact with the group.
"Why? Because it's fun, no one fucking cares about you lot, so I'd say we take care of you, and by that I mean punch your fucking face in." The leader spoke up, he was 6ft 4, and he was packing some serious heat, he had brown long hair, kind of like a ket wig, which looked so fucking greasy and stupid. Typical chavs.
Elliott began to walk off to avoid this kind of situation, but the bullys wasn't going to let that happen, so two of the dick heads that where laughing and pointing quickly sprung to action, they where trying to grab Elliott. Elliott dodged their grasps, quite a few times, until he got caught by both arms.
"Hold him there, I wanna take a crack at him, hopefully get a rib or two." The leader shouted.
"Hey!! get the fuck off me you stupid cunt!" Elliott try getting out of their holds, but couldn't. One of the cunts that had a hold of him, punched Elliott in the gut, "Did your mother teach you any manners? Hahaha."
Me and Shiro looked at eachother, feeling that presence again, we stared at what was gunna happen, Elliott was staring darkly at the lad, with pure unadulterated rage, "Be quiet."
The leader perked up at this and smiled, he was about to punch Elliott all over his body, mainly his kidney areas since he wanted to inflict the most damage. The leader stood firmly in front of him and started striking him across the face with a right hood, left right left right, Elliott had blood coming down from his head, and over his eye, and a bloody nose, possibly broken.
His friends looked on, in shock and horror, there was a crowd gathering around them, some looked with a sinister smile, obviously enjoying the torture, while others looked in disgust, but couldn't do anything about it. Surprisingly, there weren't any teachers about, which was odd, normally they would come running if a crowd had formed.
Suddenly, one of Elliott's mates jumped in, It was Ellis, Elliott's best mate.
"Please stop this! He's had enough, please stop" Ellis said, obviously shitting himself, but confident enough to stand between them.
"N-no Ellis, just leave, don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Don't get yourself hurt because of me." Elliott said in a sad tone, one tear slipped down his cheek.
"No, I won't let them hurt you, your my best friend Elliott." Ellis said proudly. Elliott looked up in amazement, and was nearly crying.
"Pff, whatever, guess I'll take you first, fatty." The leader said, while smiling, Ellis and Elliott looked on in horror on what he was about to do.
"No! don't! this fight is with me and me only, leave Ellis out of this!" Elliott shouted trying to pull away from his captures, only to get a swift punch to the gut again while blood streaked out his mouth and on to the ground.
"Well, you know what Im gunna do? Im going to pulverize your so called mate, infront of you, Im going to punch his lights out beyond recognition, while you helplessly watch." The leader laughed evily, while Ellis was about to run.
But it was too late, Ellis's head got grabbed and smashed into the wall beside us, everyone was in shock, even the ones that where laughing had stopped, watching this whole thing definitely got my blood boiling, my demonic energy seeping out. Elliott was crying now, struggling pretty hard to get out of his hold. The two dick heads that where holding him weren't sure on what they should do. The leader kept smashing his head against the wall making a bloody imprint.
He let the body fall to the floor, he was already unconscious, when the first strike had hit, then the leader kept punching him over and over while he was on the floor, kicking, stamping on his head repeatedly while laughing and staring at Elliott the whole time.
Me and Shiro noticed the presence was going to go critical anytime soon.
"STOP IT! PLEASE STOP IT, NO MORE!!!" Elliott was full on screaming, begging him to spare his friend. He was in full panic mode now, while the leader just looked on with a evil grin.
"Me stop? Hahaha, never. Oh and I couldn't help but hear, that earlier you got a little sensitive about one of my friends talking about your mother." Elliott stopped in his tracks and stared at the Leader, blackness had already started going through his eyes, they couldn't see it yet, but we could.
"Well, looks like I was right, aww, what happened? Did your mother die?" He said while laughing.
"You shut the fuck up right now, otherwise Im going to castrate you and hang your lifeless body on the trees." Elliott said, his voice changing a little.
"Oh did I strike a nerve? Hahaha, like you could do anything to me. Oh what was it, she died from cancer I believe, hahaha, what I joke, she must a been a fuckin slut or something. It was a good thing that she died, so she didn't have to look at you all the time." Start Music.
Elliott simply slumped down on his knees, his hair blocking the view of his face, casting a shadow over his nose. Very faintly you could hear slight hollow noises coming from him, which was a very bad warning sign. The leader kept saying more things about his mother, going on and on, while everyone was looking in regret, some looked pissed off that this was happening.
"Awwww, are you gunna cry, hahaha, your mum is dead and is never coming back, the bad slut." The leader shouted.
Suddenly Elliott looked up, his red and black aura appeared to the eyes of the students, flaring out wildly, Elliott grabbed both hands of the dick heads that where holding him, broke their arms and flung them in opposite directions. One through a window, one through a wall.
The leader looked on in pure shock, while Elliott stood there silently, until he screamed. Everyone jumped back in freight at the sound, while Elliott glared at the Leader, with a wide smile showing his sharp teeth, his eyes had blackened while his irises turned yellow. One of the dick heads tried to sucker punch him while he dodged at very fast speeds, only moving his head to one side, while he grabbed a hold of the guys head and slammed it into the ground, cracking his skull and flung him across the corridor.
The one guy that went through the wall had already got up, and was behind him, about to deliver a kick to Elliott's kidney. Elliott however, grabbed his leg, not even turning to look behind him and lifted him up in the air infront of him, and started punching him at rapid speeds in the stomach, while his body kept twitching from the blows, not even registering at all. Then he smashed the body around, to the wall, to the floor to the fucking ceiling. Until it was just that, a corpse.
Another one had pulled out a knife from his pocket, just a pocket knife, small and flimsy, he tried stabbed at Elliott but grabbed it by the blade with two of his fingers, he snapped his arm and took the knife and spun around and sliced his throat, the body fell down, but until it hit the floor, the neck spurted out with a lot of blood, spraying all over Elliott, making him look savage as fuck.
The last guy was the Leader, and to tell you the truth he was shitting balls, but, he pulled out a gun from his back pocket, from under his blazer, I have no Idea how he got that through school. He pulled it and aimed at Elliott. The Teachers where already on the scene, but they didn't do anything, all they could do was look on in shock.
Elliott, smiled, "Twoo can play at that game, boy.Elliott had some how, unconsciously had used his Shinigami and Hollow powers by making his Zanpakuto appear before him, it was in it's cleaver form. Everyone was now shitting themselves, they had no idea that Elliott had such powers or if they even existed.
The leader pulled the trigger in rapid motion, Bang Bang Bang three shots hurled towards Elliott, in his eyes they where going in slow motion. He dashed forward with great athletic ability, and sliced through every shot, and was in front of the Leader, he grabbed the leader by the throat and put him against the wall, while laughing hysterically, the sword dissipated, and Elliott had two hands on his throat, nearly snapping his neck on how much force, the Leader was struggling, his life flashing before his eyes, before he said this.
"W-who are you?!?" The leader wheezed out, trying to get much air as he could.
"Me? I have....NO NAME!" Elliott simply grabbed the Leader by the head and snapped his neck, ending his life. and throwing the body on the floor like a ragdoll.
Everyone was still watching in freight. While Elliott looked forward, at the crowd and said "Bye for now, hahaha." then Elliott collapsed, and went unconscious.
