I wrote this story a wile back and have decided to post it here for all to read, hope you like it
Thorny didnt cry when born or smile. He never spoke a word as he grew, but his parents stuck by him and nurtured him as best they could. When ever he was asleep, he wasnt alone in the dark. Someone or something was watching him from the corner of the room but never did or say anything to him or anyone and only thorny new he was there!
On his first birthday he woke up crying for the first time! His parents ran in and were surprised as a horn had grown out of his left shoulder, realising this could be a problem with the locals, they didnt want anything to come to him so they kept him indoors and he never went to school.
Every birthday a new horn would grow, the pain would be unbearable but as soon as he entered the gloom, that dark figure appeared and the pain would fade. Thorny also discovered he had powers, people would come knocking looking for him who have never met or herd of him, but Thorny couldnt stop thinking about them even though he had know clue who they are! Sometimes wile eating, if he reached for the salt it would fly across the room. He killed the cat trying to stroke it! Thorny was unhappy, sitting in his room all day when he could be out exploring his childhood. Learning from home, his parents made sure he new about the world! He realised the world wasnt a good place where he doesnt belong and he began asking where he did!
Usually Thorny would sleep soundly and never wake up till early morning, but on the night of his 13 birthday he woke up exactly 00.00! The dark figure stood over him but Thorny didnt flinch, this "thing" had never aproched him or said a thing all these years!
Who are you boy? Pondered the figure
Thornys lips moved for the first time. Bairly reconisable words broke out of the tiny MasterMind
I dont know, I have no name
I shall tell you You are my son
What? Asked Thorny surprisingly Youre insane
If Im insane, then what is that on the back of your nee?
Confused, he never noticed the birth mark
Whats this?
Look
The figure pulled up his top to reveal the same mark on his stomach
No this cant be? Thorny sat up in his bed
You cant be my father; hes in the next room!
I am your true father, they were chose to be your step parents because of there trust and loyalty to me corrected the figure
Just then the lights flickered on and Thorny jumped up as he looked at a figure witch he reconised as The Devil Himself
Now you know who I am your mind will be at rest the 10ft figure laughed
But,........... but, this cant be? Im the Devils son Thorny said surprisingly, with I faint sigh of relief
Yes, youre my son and now you must rule with me
Rule what, the world?
No the evil that dwels beneath your feet, but soon my son, You will rule the world"
he took a step back
Just as soon as he appeared the Devil left
Shocked Thorny walked into the front room to find his step Parents standing waiting for him
So now you know said his step farther
We are so sorry we didnt tell you, we wanted to but we had a deal with your father to make sure you didnt his step Mother said reassuringly
I understand said thorny
By now Thorny was 15 and still lived with his step parents, as being half heman, he loved
them for being there for him all the years and always being true to his real farther. Thorny was sitting in his room in complete darkness as this was the way for him to concentrate and harness the powers within. But then a knock came at the door, as his mother unlocked the door, it flung open, longbow agents ran in and surrounded them.
Search for the boy said the longbow commander
The thuds of feet on the carpeted wood floors shook the grownd as they search high and low for the young MasterMind
We cant find him sir he said nervously
He has to be here, he never leaves
Sorry sir, but hes nowhere
Where is he? screamed the commander at Thornys Mother, his spit running down her face!
I dont know
Tell me or die
"I dont know!
Fine we will have to do this the hard way
They left with his parents to a secret location in the Rouge Isle
Luckily the Devil had rescued his son before longbow found him
How did they know I lived there? asked Thorny to his farther
One of my contacts told them, I new he was dodgy when he didnt know who your false parents were, but hes your first target my son, I want you to show him who has messed with, after we will go get your parents back, do me proud son, make these years worth wile
In a few seconds, Thorny fell through a well of darkness in the floor and arrived at the contacts apartment, he knocked on his door and stud by the side of the door so not to be seen through the spy hole. As the contact stuck his head out the door, it fell on the floor with a thump! Blood spowt from the twiching torso. Suddenly Longbow had him surrounded, and unable to move from the paralizing dart sticking out of his neck. they took him to a longbow high security mental home.
Strapped to a metal bed with a strait jacket on, Thorny had never bin this angry but as they never turned the lights off he couldnt concentrate and his Farther didnt know where he was. After a few months it was his birthday again.
Hello son said the Devil appaering beside the steralised metal bed
Farther? how did you find me?
Its your birthday, time for your new horn, even without the darkness I can still find you on your birthday
Im 16?
Yes and its when you become, YOU!
At that moment 2 longbow doctors peered through his cell window as lights went out in the room, the doctors could only look on in amazement as fire filed the room. Holding Thorny, the Devil empowering him with darkness from the universe itself! The window cracked with the heat raged by the fire, paint fell of the ceiling, the straps around thorny burnt off, the metal bed had melted into a lump. The fire still raging at temperatures never known. Thorny took a step back as his farther let go, the fire disappeared along with his farther leaving just the heat and darkness!
The 2 doctors peered through the broken window into the completely dark room, sweat pooing from them, cloths burnt and shrunk!
Where has the subject gone? he asked curiously
2 bright red eyes suddenly appeared in front of them along with a evil grin. The petrified doctors ran out the door as fast as there little legs could carry them.
thorny Devil's task? look for his step parents and kill whoever and whatever it takes to get them back.
As thorny ran dawn the corridors light bulbs exploded and paint melted! Concreat, tarmac, whatever he stepped on burned and cracked with the rage hell's anger inside him
Well what do you think
