Chapter One: Into Darkness Pt. 2

Ring!, Ring!, Ring! I opened my eyes and my vision started to focus. The view from where I am is very familiar. Then I spotted a poster of Twenty One Pilots out of the corner of my eye, and I knew right then I was in my own bedroom. I was on the floor, no wonder it was cold. I then got up, showered, changed, and went down stairs.

"Diablo, breakfast is ready!'' My mom called me from the kitchen.

"Guess it was all a dream." but I couldn't get over the fact it felt so realistic. I could still hear the spoken words from Addy repeat in my head over and over. Addy Anahera, Demon Lord Child, I'll be seeing you, three, two, one...

My mom had made pancakes for breakfast today and while we ate, I told her about what happened in my dream. We used to be a family of five, but then my dad had left, and my older sister, Crystal, had gone to a community college. That just left me, my mom June, and my younger sister Aimi, but she was already at school.

"This is clearly one of the weirdest dreams you've had now isn't it..?" She laughed trying to lighten things up but for some reason I felt like she was trying to hide something. "Well look at the time if you don't get to school you're going to be late." I looked at the time and I then had a feeling she wanted me to leave. "Are you going to walk today or do you want me to drop you off?"

"I can walk." I said because I was afraid that any more talking would get her upset, but as I said goodbye to her I could tell she was concentrating on something else. Then she looked at me.

"Well what are you waiting for?"

"Sorry, see you after school, bye." I then started walking. I live on a dirt road but my home is pretty nice.

"Bye, love you!" My mom has been through a lot, had to deal with two kids, my dad leaving her, I don't understand how people can deal with this kinda stuff but I guess as long as they are happy it's okay.

"I love you too mom!"

Okay, Let's rewind here and start from the top. My name is Diablo Martinez. I am currently 17 and I go to school here in Detroit Michigan. My best friend Is Leo Jr. Joseph, my one and only friend.

As I walk to school I listen to music. My favorite band is formally known as TØP Leo had me listen to this band about a few weeks ago, which I had then been stuck on. I've been friends with Leo since the 2nd grade. He'd thought it'd be good because we both didn't have any friends. I just said okay not realizing at first but it had to be one of the best choices I've ever made.

I stopped and waited by his house for him. (Since my mom sent me out 15-minutes earlier than usual.) He finally came out about 5 minutes later. He must've been in a hurry because his bag was unzipped, had toothpaste on his cheek and he was putting on a belt on his way out. He has this theory he calls "dressed to impress" thinking that if he dresses nice that he could get a girlfriend no problem, but that hasn't worked in like forever.

Leo had been single ever since we met. I've been asked out a few times but I just turned them down. Leo hated that even though he wasn't being asked out, but I couldn't care less. Today he was wearing a white dress shirt under a green sweater, black pants, and black dress shoes.

"Wazzzup!" Leo said as he put his hand up as if he wanted me to high-five it. I wasn't in a terrible mood so I put my hand out palm up and he hit it. "So what's my friend been up to lately?"

"Nothing much, I swear my mom is hiding something from me, she started acting like this since I told her about my dream about this girl who was fairly purple." I told him everything else that happened in the dream while we walked to school.

"That's weird and oddly specific, but hey it was just a dream. Maybe she just has a surprise. My question is why are you dreading it so much, it's just a dream. Also why is there a bump on your head?"

"Bump?" I felt my forehead and sure enough there was a bump, but not a very big one, maybe a little bit smaller than the size of a nickel, surprised Leo even saw it.

"Anyways, here we are, welcome to the underworld demon lord's son." I rolled my eyes and walked through the front doors. As usual the halls were crowded and loud, people talking to their friends, some messing around with others, just the ordinary. At school Leo and I shared four classes together. I walked up to my locker and took care of my belongings. "You done yet?"

"Yeah."

"Well, let's go then." We made it to first hour no problem. Which was kinda a shock because the halls were still really crowded and Leo wouldn't stop trying to get a date for himself.

In class Leo sits in the desk to my left. Just then a girl walked by and dropped a note. I opened it up and it asked, will you go out with me? In big letters and at the bottom it said yes and no with boxes next to them.

"In what way are you being asked out now?" He said sarcastically. I passed him the note which he then looked over and replied, "After all these years, you're still the only one of us who gets asked out."

"Well yeah, to be honest you are kinda dorky." I said to him playfully. He then threw the note back to me which I looked over once more and then remembered the fun times where Leo was asked out but accidentally rejected her and made them upset. And the other time where it was nothing but a joke.

"Weren't you asked out a few times too?"

"I mean, those ones don't count." I laughed as he felt ashamed of it. "Yeah, laugh it off." He rolled eyes. As I then crumbled the note and threw it into the trash.

"Thanks but no thanks."

"Typical." I then heard a little wine from a girl in the back as the teacher started to speak.

"Okay class we have a new student joining us today. Her name is-" 

The teacher was cut off as the new student stated their own name.

"Addy Anahera" She said with a smile then winked and I knew that was pointed directly at me.

"Th-that's her, that's the girl from my dream." I tried to tell Leo but he wasn't listening. All I got from the guy was.

"Dang, she's hot." I didn't understand what was happening, It was all a dream at least that's what I thought. I pinched myself again to see that maybe I was still dreaming. But sure enough I wasn't. Sure enough this is reality.

I began to feel light headed and sick. Then all of a sudden the bump on the left side of my forehead started to burn. It was on fire! My heart started beating faster as my anxiety levels had risen through the roof. I didn't understand what in the world was going on. It felt as if every single moment of my life was a lie and was now set to fire on the head. Everything began to hurt and not just my head. And I knew this was all reality and that there would be no way I was going to live through this. The only thing I knew was that I, Diablo Martinez, was going to die.
