Game On

Chapter 6: The Day I Realized

It's Saturday morning, nobody is up yet. I rose up from my bed and walked around. I saw Skylar. She looked at the sun rising up. I was curious about what she was doing. I came closer and closer quietly.

I heard her voice, "I won't give up on us. Even if the skies get rough. I've given you all my love. Still I'm looking up. No, I would give up."

The melody of her voice was amazing. This can't be though. I am a weird person and I don't think anyone would like me, but I'm in love with her. As I reacted, I made a loud noise. She quickly looked back and saw me.

"DID YOU HEAR ME?" she asked.

"Ah, no." I lied.

"Good." she smiled saying.

Someone yawned and I got distracted. I'm not sure if I'm in love with her yet, but music is my best ability.

"Good mornin' sire." Scott said.

"Call me Lucas, it's weird if you call me that." I requested.

"If you wish, Lucas." Scott said.

Followed by Louise, she woke up from her deep sleep. She yawned and waved to me. I was still thinking about Skylar and decided to take a walk.

"Ah, I'm going to walk, you know, morning walk." I said.

"Lucas, let Skylar come with you. Louise and I, we are going to stay here and discuss something." Scott said.

I looked away and opened the door, Skylar followed. We took the elevator down to the lobby. The city was still destroyed after our fight with my old buddy, Leon.

"The city is a ruin." I said.

"Yeah, but this is your world Luke." she said.

I looked at my hand. I inspected it. Fire. It came to my mind and my hand ignite flames around it. I didn't feel heat at all yet I panicked. Such an embarassment in front of my still unsure crush. She held my hand.

"Your fingers are so perfect! So slender and long." she complimented.

She placed her hand on top of my other hand. She measured her hand to mine. It was sweet thing.

"Hey, we are almost the same length of fingers!" she happily said.

"Ah, yeah." I said.

As I said to myself, I don't anyone would ever like me. So I pulled my hand away. Ever since this happened, I've been slowly falling for her even more, every fight, every move I've been watching. Yet, my duty as a king always blocks my oppurtunities with.

"Lucas, you have to fix this city." Scott said.

"Lucas, give the children a home." Louise said.

With all this, I couldn't possiblely get to her anymore. Skylar doesn't even go home here anymore ever since she took the mission. Today, actually everyday, I see her take off in the morning and go home in the evening with bruises. I wanted to come, but King duties go first said Scott. One evening, she back home with big wound at her. It was fatal and we had no materials for it. I took off my shirt and wrapped it around her leg.

"Hold on, Skylar." I said.

"Lu....cas....?" she said.

"Don't die on me!" I shouted.

Then my powers were activated and it healed her. She was relieved that she was alright, just when I was about to get my shirt back. Skylar hugged me.

"Thank you, Lucas." Skylar said.

"Uhmm, you're welcome." I said.

"I... gotta go." Skylar said in soft voice.

"Righhttt...." I mummbled.

She quit on me again. Gahd. When am I going to make my move. I slammed the chair as soon as she was gone once again. She used or rather is still my bestfriend though I have a feeling I can't shake. Whenever I see her, I get a different feeling like I want to get closer. Whenever I talk to her, it makes me want to hug her. Whenever she passes by, I want to impress her. Whenever I hear her name, it makes me want to go to her. She's so special somehow, so different somehow and I like it somehow. Then I heard his voice again.

"Aww... my bud is in love!!!" Leon appeared.

"Get away from me!" I shouted.

"Hahahah! Seriously? You have no right and NO POWER." Leon insulted.

"Leon, just go." I said.

"BUT my bud is having love problems." he said.

"GO AND SHUT UP." I said.

His mouth shut suddenly and he flew to the door. He was injured and was laughing. What was so funny about that? You getting hurt. Ridiculous. Insane. Stupid. Leon.

"Good. Now you know how to you use your POWER" he happily said, "let's fight!"

I wasn't in the mood for fighting. I was saddend and confused. Is that feeling I just had from Skylar love for real? I mean, I never even thought of love before. It was all a disraction to me.

"LUCAS! Are you even listening?!" Leon asked.

"SHUT YOUR MOUTH, I DON'T EVER, WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN." I commanded.

Leon flew and was banged to the door several times, and was laughing and laughing. He is a maniac. Why was I even friends with a guy like him? What was wrong with me?

"LUKE!" a voice screamed.

I recognized the voice. Her voice. She screamed from the top of her lungs. I look where the voice was from and ran there. I panicked as she sounded like she was getting hurt. When I reached my destination, I saw Leon. How? How did he get her? Wasn't he being banged on the door? He laughed and laughed.

"Luke. I love you bro, but this girl is making you weak!" Leon said.

"NO! Let her go!" I commanded.

He got the spear he pierced through me and pierced it to her. She was in pain and somehow I was angry. My powers weren't working. Something was up. My powers work all the time, why weren't they working? I heard her scream and scream as Leon kept stabbing her. I had no power, I couldn't save her and be her only hero. I was a failure. After he was done and Skylar killed, I kneeled and cried.

It's my fault for loving her.

That sentence was the only thing I thought of. She lived as my bestfriend and died as my crush. It came to me. Why didn't I kill him when I met him the first time? I hate him so much. After he did that, it was all that came to me, hate and revenge.

"Hahahahah! What now? Failed to save your love? You are no HERO. YOU ARE NO KING. AND I DON'T NOT BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BE." Leon said.

"You're right I am no hero, I am no king. I failed to save my love. I failed you. BUT SHE DOES NOT HAVE TO BE INVOLVED!!!" I shouted.

As I stopped my feet, the surface crummbled and the thunder roared. I felt so much anger. I had to kill him because has no right to live. He had one before but now it's gone.

"Oh Lucas, you upset little bro? Hahaha." Leon asked.

"VERY." I screamed.

I held a sword in my hand and charge to him. He evaded my attacks. Yet one thing he could not evade was my anger. It was because of my anger, I killed him. How? I thought of anger and I suddenly felt faster and stronger. I charged through him.

"Happy now, Augustus? Welcome back, old friend." Leon said.

Leon fell on the ground as I thought about Skylar. How he enjoyed killing her. The raindrops were falling just like my tears in the sky. Leon never made any sense, but for the first time, he said something in a calm way. He was always mad and raged. I will never forgive him for killing Skylar though. I loved her too much to forget what happened.

It's too hard to let go and move on.

"She was the only person that could make me smile." I whispered as Leon died slowly.

"Also......y..ou-" Leon struggled to say.
