The Awakening Chapter 1
Eizen woke up from another late night like always. "Ugh… God I hate
waken up so late…damn! Three o' clock already." he said as he
looked over at the clock on his desk rolling his eyes with annoyance.
However, he only had himself to blame at least partially, staying up
late but only because he didn't really sleep much anyway. For some
reason he was always compelled to stay awake at night and even
though he would sleep in late in never bothered him with the lack of
sleep during the day. "Ei! You up yet bub!?" he heard his father call
out from the living room. "Yeah dad ill be there in a sec hold up!" he
replied with an obvious sound that he was annoyed in his voice, but
he got out of bed then headed out into the bathroom to wash his
face and wake up more. Running the water in his hands splashing it on
his face he stood up and grabbed a towel to dry it off. "Ah much
better." he mumbled into the towel still rubbing his face in it. As he
lowered the towel and looked in the mirror what he saw was not his
reflection, but an image a man similar to him yet different. His hair
was slicked back black in color and his face was stern with a look of
killer's intimidation in it. However, what caught Ei's attention the most
was his eyes a deep black with a bright red iris in both eyes. "HOLY
s**t!!" he yelled out as he ducked under the view of the mirror then
slowly peeked back up to see his normal reflection. "What the hell?"
he gazed all around the mirror to make sure he wasn't crazy. "What
you just yell out boy?" he heard his father yell at him. "Sorry Dad saw
a huge spider scared the crap out of me!" he headed back to his
room to get some clothes on seeing the stack of applications on his
desk his father has been nagging him to fill out and he let out a sigh.
After getting dressed he walked over to the kitchen to get a late
breakfast, he wanted to get going out so it snatched a pack of
pop-tarts and slipped them in his jean pocket. "So son did you fill
them applications out yet or are they still sitting on you desk?" Eizen
cringed and looked over to his father knowing if he said no the long
argument that would come soon after. "I only have a few left to fill
then we can send them in next week when I get home from
camping." hi father gave him an angered look and in reality was his
normal look also so it was hard to tell if he was mad or not. "Ok
sound good to me." his father, replied but Ei was already out the
door. He was on his way across the street to Bubs house one of his
best friends that he knew just as long as he could remember. He saw
im playing basketball in his back yard as he waved and called over to
him. "Yo Bubs what up? Pass me the ball will you?" Bubs smiled at
him and tossed the ball over. "Hey E-Man long time no see where ya
been?" Eizen rolled his eyes and laughed. "I saw you yesterday what
do you mean where I been? I would have been here faster but I slept
in late again, spent most the night packing for camp." Bubs laughed
and patted him on the back. "Yeah yeah im just messing with you. So
this camping trip is really you moving in with your sister right?" he
looked Ei with a half smile. "Yeah it is. My dad knows but we haven't
told my mom yet but he can tell her not me im out of this place he's
even nagging me still about the job apps since she's in the next room
this morning." He stared at the ball for a few moments he was glad to
leave his sister Bunny as everyone called her had offered to let him
move in. She was worried about him and she had right to, his parents
always seemed to try and keep him from her and talk about her like
she was some demon trying to corrupt or posses him. This bothered
him and even the church he went to that his aunt and uncle ran as the
posters acted the same way with him being with her. Other reasons
he wanted to leave was his controlling parents, he was never given a
choice in anything or they would just make him do it their way if they
didn't like what he chose to do. The church they went to shared the
same attitude and has went from the little Pennycostal church that
began in his aunt and uncles basement to a small cult hiding behind
the word ''faith''. He knew it and the ones who left knew to
unfortunately those were the parents of his closest friends who ended
up breaking contact with him for still being there only two really still
talked to him now. Truth was he wanted to just get away from it all
start in a new place to meet new people, make new friends and he
has his chance. "So this camp what is it exactly?" Bubs asked with a
curious look on his face as he stared at Eizen. "It's some sort of
spiritual thing my sister want to take me to for a while now how she
described it sounds pretty cool." he felt a buzz from his cell phone
and pulled it out seeing a text from Missy his girlfriend. Missy was a
kind, gentle girl whom always kept a calm attitude and understood
him more then anyone he loved her for that among other things. Her
smile, her intelligence, and her imagination and they had so much in
common. It was another good reason for him leaving she lived in
another state and his sister was much closer to her then his home
here and it made him happy to be that much closer to her. He looked
at the reading as "Hey Hun did you sleep well?" he pressed the call
button and waited for her to pick up. "Hello?" came her soft voice.
"Hey love how's you? And yes. I did sleep well he he" he said to her
with a big grin on his face. "Im glad to hear that you did. So you're
moving tonight right? Im happy your moving closer." she said with a
happy giggle. "Im happy to love I just cant wait till tonight…aww
crap." he got another text from his mother telling him to come home
now. "Sorry Babe I got to let you go ill talk to later bye." he hung up
after she said goodbye then waved off Bubs and ran home. As soon
as he walked in the door, his mother immediately stopped him. "Your
room is filthy! You call that clean?! I told your not leaving with your
sister with me to clean that mess up! Now get in there and clean it
Mister!" he swore he cleaned his room but being the perfectionist
clean freak that was his mother he knew that his clean and her clean
were on a very different scale. "Ok god why do you have to yell at
me for it?" before she could answer he went to his room and started
to re-clean his clean room when hours later she stormed in and
looked around. "Did you dust?" she asked him. "Yes." he said. "Your
room still looks like crap." she said to him but he knew not to argue.
Nothing ever seemed to please her no matter how hard he tried or
how well he did what she asked him she always found something he
failed to see or messed up doing it. After she left the room he looked
around and decided so pack the rest of his stuff hearing his father
through his half closed door talk to his mother about him moving then
they started to argue. He sighed then closed his door and continued
to keep packing seeing his collection of swords and dagger he got
over time before he shoved them into boxes. Among other things like
his books and video games and more clothes he planned to bring with
him. Of course, he would have to leave them here for now since he
would be camping and his sisters and her fiancée's stuff would be
packed in the little care they drove in so he would come back again
later to get the rest of it after camping was over. After he was done
packing, he laid back on the bed to rest and started to drift off to
sleep when he heard a whisper. "Huh? Who…?" he sat up and looked
around his small room then at the windows. As he turned his face to
the door, he saw then man from the mirror earlier and he stopped
breathing. He was wearing a black cloak and stared at him. "It is
almost time for you to awaken." He said in an eerie voice as he
vanished out of thin air. Eizen was stunned and had to catch his
breath as he jumped from the bed and noticed the clock said 7:45 PM
it was a dream he slept for more then four hours. "What the ******** was
that?" he said to himself seeing the man again it gave him an uneasy
feeling but what bothered him the most was that he looked almost
like him other then his hair and eyes everything was the same, he
didn't know what to make of it. He got his things together and
headed outside and waited for his ride to come as he sat on his duffle
bag the night was cold but id didn't bother him he liked the cold
weather and he was used to it. He looked over and saw some head
light as a car drove over and pulled over to him he looked in and saw
Ken and Chris good friends of his sisters and a girl in the back seat.
"Hey guys good to see you again." All three of them smiled and
waved as he crammed his bags in with theirs and sat in the car.
Another buzz on his cell went off he looked seeing it was Missy again
the text read "oh yeah how's the four doing?" Only he and his closest
friends knew what that meant Lilith, Diana, Elizabeth and, Raden were
four spirits that were always with him but normally would stay hidden
unless he or they wanted to talk. Diana and Lilith were sisters catlike
spirits they were the first to show themselves to him Elli came later
she was a young girl ghost of age ten whom he found wondering
around and she quickly adopted him as her earthly father figure.
Raden was around before them but he was that last to reveal himself
he was a wolf the was twice the size of a great dane even when
laying down his head still reached Eizen's chest. He presented himself
as a guardian to keep him protected since he was a child. "They are
doing fine." he text back to her. The four were some of the strange
things about Eizen but he also shared some personal uniqueness tar
he was empathic and pre-cognitive and for some reason he could fell
or sense others that were around him even if he didn't see them at
first. All of this was another reason his sister has been wanting to
take him to this camping trip and he was interested in learning more
about all of it. Chris looked over to him. "So how you been? We are
going to the Pegasus Diner to get something to eat before we go it
going to be an all-night drive." Ei nodded then looked over to the girl
who was asleep already in her seat. From what he knew, it was Chris'
girlfriend and it was her first time going to this camp as well so to him
it was nice to know he was not the only new face that was going to
be there. He laid back as Chris played some low techno music Ken
was busy driving us to the diner. Chris was a big guy just like his
father Ken both were sort of rough Chris was a relaxed guy long hair
with big bearded face and a smart guy when you got to know him.
Ken matched that personality well though much older and a wise man
and fun to talk with for a kid like Ei who had a lot to learn Ken had a
lot to give so they were good friends. "So finally escaping Jersey now
huh Ei?" Ken said over his shoulder as he drove. Eizen laughed with a
smirk. "Yeah I hear ya there on that one finally happy to leave guess
im one of the few." he sat back thinking about a line from Long Kiss
Goodnight "many have tried to leave and failed about ninety percent
of the population in fact." he shook his head and laughed at himself.
The image of the man he saw came back to him again as they drove
on he just could not stop thinking about it and wanted to talk to Chris
and Ken about it but figured it would be better not to and just relaxed
in his seat. "We are here!" Ken said as he pulled into the diner parking
lot and we all got out of the car walked into the diner by this time it
was early morning so Eizen sat down ordered some pancakes and
apple juice. He noticed the girl that was sitting next to him in the car
was looking at him. "Uh hi did you sleep ok?" she nodded then smiled.
"Its funny I never seen anyone more pale skinned then me." Eizen
tilted his head at the odd statement then Chris looked over. "Really
you having a paleness contest with a vampire of course he would
win." they both laughed and Ei chuckled knowing he was that pale to
look like a vampire and seeing the other customers stare at him oddly
just made him laugh more. Of course, him wearing his black Tripp
trench coat with its chains didn't help with the staring. "it is quite
around him." the girl said still looking at him then to her food as the
waiter came in. they all talked for awhile eating away then got back in
the car. Ei started getting tired so he laid back and fell asleep as they
drove on.
