4:30 AM

 *BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP*  I groan and look at the clock on my bedside table and mutter "aw damn" as I hit the off button on the god forsaken clock.

There is a stirring in the bed behind me as I press my face back down into the pillow trying to get a little more sleep before being forced back into the world. As I try to drift back into sleep I feel a pair of small hands on my back that I knew oh so very well and I hear her voice come from behind me "what's a matter boo? you love getting up in the morning."

{Ahhh her sweet voice in my ears as I role over to gaze into her deep brown eyes it's enough to drive any other guy crazy but luckily I'm not most guys 'cuz you see I am a what you mortals might call a Phaser and (NO I'M NOT THE GUN USED IN STAR TRECK) *sighs* but we Phasers have certain powers that can only be obtained through certain experiences like ones of great pain and or sorrow to ones of contempt and anger or a hodgepodge of all of them put together all in all puberty will make you a god. But I bet you all are thinking "powers? what does he mean by powers?" and that my friends I will explain. Our power actually is pretty lame and more scarring than useful we sortaaa get tattoos' from bad experiences. and I know I know what you are thinking right now WTF?!! WHAT SORT OF LAME A%# S@*# IS THAT?!!? and you are perfectly justified to feel that way but let me finish. After we get the tattoo we gain the ability to harness that emotion at will and mold it as we see fit. not as lame now am I!?}

"Not today love I am sore all over" I grumble through the pillow feeling her fingers trace the wings I had inked into my back

She sighs and clicks on the lamp over my head making me wince from the brightness then whispers to me "get up or you won't get your exercise, tonight"

I turn my head to the side one glimmering bright green eye looking at her and i groan pushing myself up muscles tensing and rippling, blonde and red locks of matted hair slicked down over my face like a mop and I sigh out "you don't ever play fair do you?"

She shakes her head at me pulling the blanket up to cover herself. "baby you should know that by now."

I sit up lean over her and kiss her making her smile at me and whisper in my ear "you need to go your gonna be late for training again if you keep staying here with me this late"

"that doesn't matter coach hates me anyways but he can't kick me out of training" I bend to try and kiss her again but she covers my lips with her fingers stopping me and whispers sternly "go.now."

I roll my eyes standing up about 6 foot 1 and say as I grab my jeans from on top of the dresser and slide them on covering the iron heart tattoo on the back of my upper thigh

{The iron heart symbol is a sign that shows up when you learn how to master heartbreak side affects may include: causing heartbreak to other people by accident, knowing weather or not relationships will fail or succeed, and the ability to not give a single f@#! when your ex's come crying to you.}

"You sound more and more like my mom the longer I'm with you" I turn around to look at her with a hinting smile on my face "until the night comes around then you are a whole different person and I like that" Puts on my boxers then takes my jeans sliding them on and zipping them up as I turn back around revealing the suffer tattoo emblazoned on my shoulder 

{The suffer sign is the shape of a jagged spiral that symbolized that you were in over suffering for a umber of given months one jag for every month of suffering (me personally I felt like I should have over a hundred jags but i only had 4 from my childhood when I had a bad experience with a kid at school and it ended up being a problem for over a little over 3 and a half months) side affects of this sign include: massive anger outbursts, the ability to control the emotions of mortals, and for each jag your physical appearance such as muscle mass grows by 5%}

I pick up my black sleeveless hoodie from the ground and put it on turning back around again to reveal my last tattoo the courage bear paw on my pectoral.

{The courage bear paw is one of the hardest symbols to be blessed with for one to receive the bear paw the person must first be torn apart by his friends and then afterwards have the courage to arise and kill them all exactly a month afterwards it is one of the 7 dark blessings from the gods of adraa-moor} (these will be explained later)

Zipping the hoodie up half way so it closes over my shame I walk over to my girl. She looks me over with the eyes that I know means she wants something. I kiss her and I feel her drop something into my hoodie pocket. As I go to stand up she pulls me back to her and whispers "it's a little something to keep you going at training today"

I smile and stand up walking over to the window and opening it the wind still cold from the morning. As I look back over my shoulder crouching in the window to hear my girlfriend say "you know I hate it when you leave that way Durge" she attempts to cover her face with the blanket but she keeps peaking over the top of it.

I sigh and say "yes Olive I know but it's faster and more fun this way" i wink at her then take a leap out of the third story window out into the morning.
