Chapter 1- What a terrible day...

I was on my way home when I received the phone call about my parent's death which surprised me…that was it I felt nothing really to be honest I wasn't even going to go to the funeral if it wasn't for my childhood friend Leah who told me to at least come out of State-2 and visit new places. But now that I'm finished packing my stuff- oh wait, I might need some extra pair of gloves. Many people ask me why I wear gloves if nothing is wrong with my hands which I answer "I don't like to get my hands dirty" and of course that's just an excuse…the real reason I wear gloves is that when I was younger….

-Flashback-

I've been seeing my friends doing this "trend" recently they call it color-changing fire which isn't even fire, I searched it up, and it's called Aura creation. That sounds dumb as hell but me being dumb, I'm going to try it. It's an easy but weird process, all you have to do is draw a circle with a horizontal line and a vertical line cutting it into four pieces. The next step is to put two pieces of paper on top and light it on fire. Apparently, once you light the paper on fire it will make you say the Aura you're connected with, and that Aura will then make the fire change color creating your Aura. After I lit the paper on fire I waited and waited….and waited, "I knew this wasn't going to-" before I could even finish my sentence my head started to hurt. I couldn't even think straight until I saw the fire was dark, so dark that if you don't focus, you might not see it. As I continued looking at it, I had this feeling of wanting to touch it. Even though it was fire, it flowed like water, so calming I could watch this forever. It wasn't as destructive as fire was supposed to be…so indulging in this interesting feeling, I slowly put both my hands in the dark fire. It doesn't feel hot nor does it feel warm…it has this strange feeling I can't even explain, but nonetheless it feels good.

My hands have been in the dark fire for over an hour or so… I'm not really sure how long I've been sitting here with my hands out. Even though I've been sitting down for such a long time, I didn't even think about getting up and putting it out "wait, what's going on?". The dark fire stopped moving…it was no longer flowing like water, it was now "stiff".

*RING RING!*

"Huh?- AHHHH FUCK" my hands were on fire and burning, but the fire was still dark "I need water!!" I immediately ran inside the kitchen and turned on the fountain, "ARRGHH WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING!" the dark fire on my hands weren't going out. I started waving my hands around like an idiot until I saw something in the corner of my eye…it was gloves and yes, it's a dumb idea but who cares at this point. Running towards the gloves, I hurriedly put them on and…it stopped. Even though it stopped I was in so much pain, tears started streaming down my face.

—End of Flashback-

Ever since that day, I tried multiple things to stop the dark fire. I tried putting my hands in ice which didn't work, I tried putting my hand in fire which didn't work. Nothing could put out the dark fire, I even tried researching about Aura creation and nothing popped up only saying it didn't exist. I never told doctors about it because they might just do research on me instead. Taking off my right hand glove the dark fire immediately coated my hand, "could it be the Aura I read about in books? Every time I take my gloves off, I always have this feeling that I can move it… I'm just glad it doesn't burn anymore".

Anyway, I need to head to the airport to leave- dammit I got to go tell my girlfriend about this before I just leave. If my phone wasn't dead, I could've just called but *sigh* let's just hurry so I won't be late.

(some time later)

I started walking up the stairs to my apartment, but I stopped when I heard creaking. Ever since this "Aura" got stuck to with me, I slowly started changing. For instance, I'm able to hear way better than before and even the rest of my senses have sharpened not just my senses but also my physical abilities as well even when I don't work out my body is well toned I can even learn quicker than the normal human.

I continued to walk up the stairs, unlocking the door and walked inside. The creaking got even louder, but I didn't stop until I reached the bedroom and the door was wide open, revealing everything.

*knock knock*

Knocking on the door made them stop doing the deed. They both looked at me and stared, which made it dead silent until the man started getting dressed and was going to leave.

"I'm sorry, dude, but it isn't my fault she got undressed and seduced me!" he said pointing at my ex-girlfriend with the most exaggerated movement possible while also trying to walk out the room.

"There is no reason to apologize you were fully embracing your desires I just came here to tell her something, but it seems I might as well leave now" they both looked surprised, but the man was about to walk out until I grabbed his chest and pushed him with all my strength causing him to fly across the room. I then walked out not even looking back to see their reaction, "It feels like I lost an emotion".

(at the airport)

Although I'm a little annoyed, I wasted my time, at least I didn't miss my plane. As I was walking, I saw Leah pretty much running towards me with a wide smile. Well, I'm kind of excited to see what's out of State-2.
