Our Destiny

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Zed

My life has never really been normal to say the least. Imagine waking up in a hospital at the age of 16 to your parents telling you, how you almost died and were in a coma for the past 5 years only to wake up and not remember anything.

When I first woke up everything was so disorganized in my head, it felt like I was sleeping for much longer period. A part of me didn't believe what my parents said but another said what else could it be, well I guess that was the more logical part of my brain. After my recovery period in the hospital when I was finally able to move about on my own.

We moved to another state for a fresh start, I didn't really care since a barely remembered anything, to be exact nothing at all. We moved to a relatively small town compared to the city we were living in.

The small town of Silver Willow

It was a quiet and peaceful place and honestly, I didn't mind it and not because of the town but because of the people that I came call my friends now. Pulling up into my new home I look out only to find a huge bulky kid running towards us to welcome and help us move in, it was crazy just how friendly he was.

Mason was my neighbor and we hit off on our first meet and for the first time I felt like someone actually understood me and it felt amazing to finally have a friend. Mason's your typical jock but if there was a person that truly had the sun rising from their ass it would be him. (I mean it in positive sense people) which is honestly quite annoying but I don't mind. Next I met his boyfriend Sky who lord knows cares more for his books than anything else, which begs me to ask the question of how in the world did these two even end up together. But between the two if you ask me who is scarier that would be Sky and don't ask why just trust me on this one. Its always the silent one Guys.

Then came Riza, now let me tell you this woman can be fucking intimidating and you don't want to mess with her she, she may be a teeny girl at 5 feet 2 but her personality has a attitude of 6 feet 1. Now her boyfriend Darren is one of the clumsiest human beings to ever walk the earth now this would make him the perfect target for bullying, but you as much as glance at him the wrong way just makes sure you have proper health insurance that is if you survive Riza, learn from other's mistakes. That also does not mean that he is weak or can't fight his own battles he rather enjoys his girlfriend's protectiveness

Then come the twins Arron and Andrew. What can I say I guess they are the bad boys of our group and besides sleeping with more than half the female population of the school and making sure they keep the teachers on their toes, they're the best company a guy can ask for.

Now this group of people are like family to me, without any siblings or relatives for that matter which is weird but I never asked my parents about it cause it never really bothered me. They meant a lot to me and honestly made life a bit more exciting than it was for me.

With that out of the way let's get to how my day went from well I guess normal to fu*king absolute shit.

Currently we are trapped in the classroom barricading the door from little creatures that looked like Goblins? thst were trying to get in. Like what in the world in even happening here, making sure that the door was stable enough I look out the window only to see a different type of weird creatures flying in the sky some looked like mangled birds, while some looked like Griffins and lot more different types of creatures.

If this is the end of the world then this was definitely not how I imaged it. I mean compared to all the mythical creatures coming to life and destroying the world. I would rather believe if someone announced there was zombie apocalypse like SERIOUSLY!!!

In the midst of this ongoing ciaos I look around to see the terrified faces of my classmates, worried about their family and friends I'm just relived to see my friends safe for the time being but still worried about my parents and their safety. I really hope they are safe somewhere, anywhere.

Looking around I see Ava looking out the window staring at the damage being done to the small town outside.

It was almost like she was analyzing the situation and contemplating what to do next.

Now if you ask me who is Ava

To be exact she is the person who I care about the most, the person who has made me act more human which I didn't know was possible and she's also my girlfriend. Who I was actually not talking too, we had been having a cold- war going on between us for about a week now and at that moment all I wanted to do was just pull her into my embrace and protect her from all the harmful things in the world.

Ever since I woke up in the hospital 2 years ago, I felt like a part of me was missing, something important, something I couldn't quite put my finger on, it was like I lost a part of me. Like a part of me was locked inside me and was just waiting for the right time to come out.

After moving to Silver Willow, I tended to keep to myself a lot, when I was not with the gang everyone around me was scared to approach me since apparently I gave of the cold and dangerous vibe apparently that's why I was very surprised when I met Mason and how well we got along same with the rest of the crew. It felt like I just fit in.

Ava was one of the people I felt most connected with so a week ago when she suddenly went home because she felt unwell, I was really worried and not talking to her that night I felt empty. But the next day was even weirder since she avoided me the entire week and just won't talk to me. When I asked what was wrong, she would say "Nothing's wrong" that it, so I got frustrated and did the same thing as her which was ignore her. I just don't understand WHY though.

It really hurt seeing her behave like that, like something had changed and there was nothing that I could do.

Ava and my relationship has been like no other we just click together and for the past one and a half year of us dating this is the first time we have been so distant from each other. It's not like we never fought cause we did....... OH BOY did we fight. Ava is one of the most strong-headed person and won't take anyone's bullshit not even mine. Which I loved about her, if we fight, which we do and then we get over it, but this just drove me crazy.

The craziest part of this whole ordeal is that she even stopped talking to the crew and was distancing herself from us and I wanted to know why. It was unlike her

As I was about to go and talk to her, there was a loud bang on the middle windows leading into the classroom, which we forgot about. I could see the creatures trying to get in because of that.

Welll Shit !!!

Just then I see a figure jump out the window kicking the creature that was trying to get in. Only to realize that the crazy person that just pulled this stunt was Ava.

And I couldn't move, NO no no no no ............. She can't be serious; I was about to follow her out when I felt 2 set of arms try to pull be back and shut the window. I whirl around only to see Arrow and Andrew glaring daggers at me. Before I could say anything, Arrow was yelling at me "Have you gone nuts WTF were you thinking".

"What do you think I was trying to do" I said "I was trying to save Ava"

"Yeah, well try saving her when your alive dickhead," said Arrow

Sighing I say 'I'm sorry' well aware that it was my fault. But I couldn't just stand there and not do anything when Ava put herself in danger like that. OH, when I find her, she's goanna get a real piece of my mind.

When we finally settle, I can't hear any sound coming from outside the classroom. So, I grab a chair to peek out the window of what's exactly going on. Looking out I don't see any of the goblins that were outside the class just a moment ago. Where the hell are they and where is Ava, well at least there isn't a body. I really hope she's ok.

After getting down I tell the others about the situation outside.

Just then Mason comes to me with a weird look in his eyes, and I ask "what is it?" when he stalls for a moment longer than necessary I get frustrated and say "Spit it out already."

"What's Ava's height" Mason asks. And I just look at him, like he finally lost his bloody marbles.

Like seriously that's what he had to say?!!!!!

I turn to look at Sky who btw still had his nose buried inside a book and ask

"Hey Sky" I say

"Yep?"

"Did Mason hit his head?"

"Yep. When he was born, I think his mom dropped him on the head"

"I meant recently"

He looks up from his book and then looks at Mason and then back at me

"Maybe........but why, Did he finally lose his marbles" he asks

"I think so"

Mason interrupts us with a "I'm right here you guys and babe WTF"

Sky just shrugs and goes back to his book while Mason faces me and says "No you idiot I haven't lost my marbles thank you very much but just look how high the window is will you for a sec"

"You just needed a chair to look out the window and your taller than her mind you, so how in the world did Ava jump out the window from the other side of the room and kick that creature like a fu*king ninja?" Ok so he did have a point. How did she do that?

Anyways I'll think about that later for now let's get out of here.

We needed to get out of the classroom and out of the school since this was not a safe place from any angle.

I opened the classroom door slowly to look out. Making sure the cost was clear we moved towards the exit.

Just then the fire alarm rang and through the speakers we could hear a teacher announce that the corridors were clear and all kids should move towards the school parking lot, where the military have come to evacuate them.

And just like that the remaining classrooms opened and all the students were rushing out, it was like a stampede. I pulled my friends into an empty class to avoid getting trampled on or separated, it was important we stuck together during these times.

I still wanted to go out and check to see if Ava was safe. I hope she was, because I don't know what I would do if she's not.

As the crowd cleared, we stared to make our way towards the exit. Once everyone else was safe I would come back for Ava.

Entering the main hall, I saw that it was empty and there was a clear path to the exit. As we slowly moved towards the exit, I could see the body of a student by the stairs, but couldn't make out who it was.

Whoever it was had landed on top of some metal bars the were pointing towards the celling which was part of the destruction caused by the creatures and apparently that person landed on it, because I could see the bars clearly piercing the person even in the flickering lights in the hallway.

I knew we had to pass by the body and hoped I didn't know the person for that would really haunt me for the rest of my life.

As we neared the door a took a chance and risked a glimpsed at the persons face only for my world crumble around me.

It was Ava..........NO

This can't be happening, No please. I couldn't think or breath at that moment it way like something was trying to claw its way out of my body. All I could think of was the last time I held her in my arms that was a week ago. No no no no I don't believe this..... I-I must be hallucinating o-or this is just a bad a really really bad dream.

There was so much I wanted, NO needed to say to her, we couldn't end like this. We are suppose to spend the rest of our lives together till we grow old, have loads of kids and then die holding each other in our arms. Not like this. I was on my knees as I watch the person, I love the most dead and lifeless in front of me. I wanted to tell her how sorry I was about everything and to forgive me even if I didn't do anything.

And then she opens her eyes and stares right into my eyes, sending me crashing to the floor on my knees. My friends turn to look in the direction I was and almost have the same reaction.

Before anything else can happen, Ava blinks her eyes looking straight into me then she was pulling herself of the fu*king iron rods the only sound to be heard were her grunts, when she was off them she stands there for a moment and closes her eyes and when she opens them again they are glowing a bright gold, then pressing a hand to her open wounds that suddenly start closing before making her way towards us, like she didn't just have iron rods sticking out of her.

To say I was in shocked would be an understatement, How-What-....... I didn't even know what to say so I say the first thing that comes to mind.

"What the fuc*k is happening......." I almost yell at her "And how did you do that"

"Sorry about that didn't mean to scar you guys, but some asshole pushed me during the evacuation and I landed on those" she says like it was no big deal and was talking about the weather "Anyway we have got to go like now"

Before anything else can happen I pull her into my arms and crush her to me, I don't care what happened which in hindsight maybe I should, but as long as she is here with me, breathing, safe and alive. I DON'T CARE.
