I Can See Clearly If It's With You

I wonder why does the heart do such weird things when we're in love? My heart is a paper heart, for you, I'm a fool.

"Kai Wardon," a voice echoed at the doorway, Nixon, Ember and I turned our attention towards the woman by the door who had furrowed eyebrows and sternly stared at the black haired male. Kai smirked, and met my eye, and he winked at me before slowly turned his head, not even his full body. The woman seemed even more displeased from the disrespect. "You have broken your promise, therefore now--" she started, unfolding a paper she had at her side and her eyes scanning the paper as she read.

"Now you'll punish me? Oh please," Kai's attitude rose, and he simply snickered. "Please, getting my memories retrieved will only help me figure out what you're doing," he added, his eyes fixing on her, full of confidence. She then fell silent and pursed her lips. She ripped up the paper she had in her hands and threw the pieces on the ground.

"Excuse me! I have enough papers on the floor!" I instantly screeched, my blood boiling. She shot me a glare, assuming I'd whimper and step down but Ha! She thought, I simply glared back. "Pick it up," I hissed at her. She turned her head away and fixed her eyes back on Kai who was no longer looking at her.

"Fine, if you wanna act like you are all hot stuff then--" she started and the entire room fell silent as his slow steps made to my way, in which he was only a couple feet away from me.. I thought he was farther. He pressed a gentle kiss against my cheek, making my mouth slightly open to protest, except nothing came out. The room's mood changed within seconds at his action, he leaned away from me, and he gave me a teasing glance before turning away and picking up the scattered pieces of paper. He crumbled them up in to a ball, he then stepped over to the woman at the door and scattered the pieces in her face. She winced backwards and her fingers curled in to a fist, shaking.

"Guards! Seize him!" she growled out, shaking harshly from the rage she felt boiling in her. Kai in response raised his arms as he gave in to be taken away and soon a blue circle appeared before us and the woman along with the guards and Kai had disappeared from our sight. Nixon didn't utter a single word as he started towards the door, he paused and locked eyes with me and I gave him a perplexed look. Nixon then averted his eye towards the wall.

"I.." he started, making me and Ember perk up, his eyes still narrowed towards the door frame. "I don't get boys," he whispered but his voice was more shaky then I assumed he wanted it to be. With that note he straightened himself and walked out the door, his heels clicking. The room was so quiet that we even managed to hear when Nixon walked in to his room and locked the door. I glanced over at Ember, suddenly worried. She sent me a side glance and huffed harshly.

"What?" her voice came out harsher then I was expecting. I opened and closed my mouth without a sound, just like a fish, except I probably looked more pathetic than a water creature. "Just because something happened in the past, you think things will work out again? Is that it? And you're worried over what Kai did?" she asked, her words were moving too fast for me to process them properly. I furrowed my eyebrows in response to her sass, before just sighing heavily.

"You know what? Okay, be like that, get out." I hissed, and pointed a finger towards the door.

"My fucking pleasure." she slammed the door behind herself and a few papers that were by the floor rose up and landed someplace else where they were before. I grumbled and put my hands in my hair and ruffled my own hair before walking over and sitting on the couch that was in the corner of the room. I don't even remember if it was there previously, I was simply glad it was there, at this exact moment. I let out a long breath, before grabbing a pillow that also magically appeared on the couch and I tossed it. The pillow flew towards the other side of the room and knocked down a few frames that were on the wall and the glass shattered as they fell. Wait. I never put up frames. I blinked a couple times not remembering adding frames on the walls, slowly I rose out of my seat and made my way to where two frames lay. I kneed down and picked up one of the frames, a few glass shades falling and cutting my finger. I winced and cursed at the pain before my eyes widened at the image. I gasped and fell backwards as I attempted to get up, and thats when everything started blurring, the room was moving with glitch effects, the glitching sound becoming louder by the second. I lifted my finger and realized that my previous cut was gone, as well at the images before me.

If the punishment in this world was retrieving your memories, why do they hint at them so much... it's almost as if... they're asking you to break the rules.

Kai was thrown to the ground as they had arrived at the creators office. Kai groaned from being harshly thrown, guess that was well deserved after mocking the woman who had come for him. He sat up, glancing around the room and gasping, stumbling backwards. "What the.." his voice was low, a tiny whisper, confusion and fear in his green eyes. His eyes twitched in fear. There were frames covering the room, but they weren't nice cute paintings, or pictures of your family..no..it was something else. Those frames had people, people that Kai never had seen before but their expressions were almost real. The reflection in their eyes and the way their face was twisted in horror with their hands against the glass, as if..they were real people stuck..forever. He felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Well, well, Kai Wardon, yes?" a strong males voice echoed. Kai snapped his head in the direction of the cheerful voice, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Mister Daemon?" Kai growled out, glaring at him. Daemon let out an airy cheerful chuckle.

"Oh child, you have no idea, what trouble you have gotten yourself in to, now do you?" his voice was dark. Kai scoffed, being his carefree self, plus rolling his eyes. He relaxed on the floor and pushed his arms behind his back and leaned down. A smirk playing at his lips.

"Try me," he provoked the professor.

As Kai had failed to see the professors instant change in expression, being oblivious to actually what he was caught up in. As a smirk, a terrifying playing at his lips. He stepped towards the oblivious black haired male and leaned over to him. "You got this on yourself," the professor's evil chuckle echoed throughout the entire room. Kai felt an ugly shiver run down his spine to the point he had sat up abruptly as if he had been hit by lighting. He grimaced for a second as the pain left as quickly as it came. He turned his head upwards to meet the evil glance from the professor, who had the box smile, not the innocent one-- god no.. the one that would make you have nightmares seeing that smirk. Kai shook and goosebumps rose on his arms as he gulped deeply. The professor leaned down.

"Perhaps... this will make you come to your senses?" he asked, confidently. Kai furrowed his eyebrows, instantly the fear and obliviousness disappearing momentarily as he grabbed the professor by his collar.

"Come to my senses? Bullshit, you're trying everything to make us break the rules, what is this really, make a jail for us? Why are we really the only people here, why aren't there other people here, I'm sure other people fall in to a coma her--" he stopped, frozen. The professor's enjoyment disappeared as he was now angry.

"How do you remember that?" the professor growled harshly. Kai shook his head and regained his composure, tightening his weakened grip on the male.

"Hah! And you thought your ways are flawless! You basically made it so people break rules! Are all of these people, poor innocent teenagers like us who simply thought this world is a disaster, or far too perfect, or too controlled? Maybe too easy to break the rules!?" Kai yelled. His knuckles were whitening from his rage that was boiling in his throat. The professor's mouth twitched as he held a look of hatred.

"You--" the professor easily pushed him off and sent him flying in to the table at the front. Kai hissed and hesitantly got up looking at him. "Since you already know, do you want your friends to end up like this?" the professor, started stepping forward, his eyes directing towards the frames. Kai's eyes widened and he grit his teeth.

"You-- You're.." Kai clenched his jaw tightly, it started to hurt.

"Evil? Genius? What other words can describe me, brilliant!?" he snickered evilly. Kai shook, clenching his fists. "But, it's not time yet, this is your first warning." the professor's eyes were dark and mysterious. He smirked as Kai opened his mouth to fight back. Before any sounds came out, his vision had gone black.

"Go away you monster!"

"You're a demon sent from satan!"

"Burn in hell!"

"You couldn't even be ONE species but had to be two!? Disgusting."

The voices never ended, the hatred was always ringing in his ears. The ringing in his ears were like a siren, louder even, never ending. Always ringing when his eyes meet someone else's from his village. He inhaled a deep breath and let it out through his lips, pursing them. He walked through the crowd of shouting angry people with his head lowered, trying his best to silence the yelling.

"I'm home." he called out as he walked in to the cave, yes a cave. He lived in cave, even more pathetic then being name called every single time he steps outside of his home.

"Honey!" a woman with long golden hair, and who had pointy ears sticking out from the side of her head. Her bluebell eyes welcomed him like no other. "I've missed you, Dad will be home soon. How was your day?" she asked cheerfully. The boy sat down, feeling the happiness drain out of him in a split second from the question.

"Mom... Why does everyone hate me? I.." he sighed heavily, leaning against the wall of the cave. The woman walked over and lowered herself to his level. His head was hanging low, with his eyes drooping with sorrow. The woman brought her hand under his chin and raised his head upwards towards her. A weak but warm smile was plastered on her face. She raised her hand form under his chin to stroke his hair. He was frowning still, keeping his eyes still on the ground.

"Because love will always be illegal, I'm really sorry. I really hope someday you'll be with someone who makes you happy and makes you understand why..why you're like this. Dad and I love you very much, if people can't look at you without grimacing and yelling then I'll be here everyday with love and comfort to provide to you. Okay?" she asked, he didn't respond. She smiled warmly, once again and leaned forward to peck his forehead.

"Hey!" a shout echoed through the never ending mountains. The black haired boy turned around to be met with a brunette happily jolting towards him. "Hi!" he extended his arm, a bright wide smile spread on his cheeks. The ravenette glanced at his hand before his eyes traveled to his face. "I'm Nixon!" he introduced cheerfully.

"What do you want?" the ravenette asked, the brunette clicked his tongue and put his extended hand on his hips.

"Why do you think I want something from you?" he asked. The brunette leaned and made the ravenette's eyes widen and stumble back falling on the ground. The brunette smiled. "What's your name? I'm Nixon!" his eyes sparkled as he spoke.

"I'm Kai." he responded loudly, his cheeks lightly flushed a light pink.

"Nice to meet you Kai, wanna see a trick?" Nixon asked his eyes big and excited. Kai breathed slowly, something about this boy made him feel..weird. He pursed his lips while the brunette in front of me looked overly excited.

"...go for it.." he mumbled out so quietly it shocked Kai when Nixon responded with a smirk before he jumped off the mountain. Kai's eyes widened and he scrambled up off the grass he was sitting on and ran over to the cliff's end. His eyes widened when he was met with a middle sized dragon who had the same light chocolate colored eyes.
