RED SORCERY Chapter 2
Skye threw himself into his bed still smiling for all what happened. After the police got in everyone told them what happened but they didn't believe a word until they saw the security tapes and were surprised. The media already had the tapes and the news of a new superhero protecting Seagull City.
Mr. Arthur told him that everything he were to do with his new powers were his decision when they talked in his office after the events, Skye was overwhelmed a little bit when he changed back, it looked like the security spell that the book put on him that made him brave worn off and he even cried a little when he realized on how much danger everyone and himself were at the time.
After a cup of coffee (which was his favorite drink) he regain his composure and thought for a moment, Mr. Arthur saw for the first time security on the boy's eyes when he told him: `'I will help them... everyone, I will save them and I will be their hero'' the answer were direct and had the strongest resolution he'd ever seen on the boy and he said that if there's some help that his old body could give him then he would help without hesitation.
His parents were overdramatic as usual, her mother cried for two hours and his father promised to take him in and out of school every single day starting tomorrow. He just let them do as they pleased since they look so worried. Even his big brother looked worried and that was weird because they never had the best of the relationships. Rory yelled curses over the phone for two hours against those men and was glad that Skye was ok. He stared at the ceiling of his room thinking of the day. It started bad then got quite good then scary and then amazing. He had a new necklace since the event happened and at this moment was starting to glow, then the little white ball appeared. Skye didn't felt scared; he knew that this white little ball was the book itself.
- What is your name?
After a few moments Skye tried to talk to the little ball and he wasn't surprised when the cute little thing started talking back, it had the voice of a child, a little serious boy to be precise.
-
I don't have a name... my masters never gave me one.
-
Why?
-
Because I'm a book, so I don't need a name, they call me the red book but as you can see my true form is white, so that name doesn't fit me very well.
-
So you're the spirit of the book.
-
My concept is very vast, but yeah you could say that.
Skye stared at the little thing for a moment and took a decision after a few seconds of thinking.
-
Shall I give you a name then?
-
What?
-
I like... Shawn... You look like a Shawn for me.
-
Shawn?
-
Yep.
The little ball closed his eyes as an anime character pet would and even if it didn't had a mouth you could imagine that it was smiling and then the little white ball nodded pleased with the name.
-
I like it; I think it fits me very well.
-
I think so too.
Skye sat on the bed and looked at the little Shawn floating in the midair and then smiled a little bit.
-
Would you tell me? All the stories you have?
-
Stories?
-
Yeah, you have lots of masters before right? I don't want to be your master, I'm not interested in that thing of relationship, but id like to be your friend... so as friends I think we need to know each other best so tell me... some of your stories.
-
...
`He is different from the others' Shawn thought analyzing Skye's eyes like if he was looking for some sort of lie or sarcasm, there was none and that was different, none of his masters ask him to be his friend. They asked him to be there when they die but never to be their friend. So this was different for Shawn, and he was... happy.
- Then I will tell you a long tale from a time where the people were pure and the air wasn't so dark.
After 20 minutes of convincing his father that he was ok and that he didn't need a ride to school and was fine and safe walking, Skye got out of his house and was walking trough the beautiful morning streets of Seagull city.
He loved this city, it was beautiful, sure the crime was at its maximum point, and it was a large, LARGE city enough to hide a murder in any street but for him the city was beautiful, the big skyscrapers the beautiful stores and the nice people in the market and cake shops and the city was near the sea. Sure the criminals could make you think that the people here are bad but for Skye there were always good and nice people and now that he decided to be a superhero he would fight for those people.
He wished for this to be a good morning but he didn't hold his breath either after all his now secret identity... was a loser and he needed to keep it that way. It was hard to explain that to Shawn, when he told Shawn about the bullies at school he was really angry but Skye convinced him that was best this way, that way nobody would suspect that he was a superhero and then he turn him down to NOT kill his classmates.
Meanwhile... He got out of his house and was in a really bad mood; his mother got home last night really late and was of course drunk. Its not like she was a bad mother after all she was rich and worked as an editor in a big fashion magazine and never neglected her son when it came to give him all he wanted. And she worked her best to be a good mother trying to be home for dinner and staying home for the holidays too. But it was the drinking that ruins it all. She would never hurt him and he knew that, but was the fact that she drank because she felt lonely and a failure as a wife and unattractive that pissed him off and sadden him at its maximum level.
The name of this boy was Scott Vance; he was the second best player on the school after his best friend Mathew who was always on top of sports, he was attractive too with brown short hair and eyes that looked like honey along with white skin and fit muscles Scott looked like a magazine model and today he was pissed, not to his mother but to his father who left with his lover two months ago and put his mother in that drinking state.
He walked trough the streets of the city remembering how this morning he helped his mother with her hangover and she apologized the whole time for being a failure even when he didn't blame her, he knew she was innocent but if he would've said that she would just say that is a lie so he kept quiet the whole time.
And then he saw him walking... it was the only person who could make him feel happy these days with his faint smile and his quiet laugh. He saw Skye Lopez walking on the streets wearing a long sleeved black shirt along with his usual winter hat and his black glasses in his cute tanned face, black boots and some shorts that went above his knee and hugged his butt perfectly. Scott licked his lips without noticing and smiled to himself.
Scott never thought of liking a boy, but Skye wasn't just some guy, he was perfect, he had those black eyes that could made him melt and that slim figure that seemed to be perfect. No, it was in fact perfect. He noticed him for the first time last year at the final week of school when the teacher was praising him about how a good student he had been for the whole year and he just stood there blushing at the praise and was being modest. And was that blush what enchanted him, for the rest of the week he watched him concentrate on his exams and talking to no one on class or on the hallways.
Then the year ended and over the vacations when Scott was working on a clothing store he would see him at the mall with his family or with his only friend who was obviously younger than him. He stared at him every time he entered the mall and get into the library or the bookstore. Skye once glanced at the store and smiled shyly at him and it was in that moment when he knew that he wanted Skye.
He was anxious to see him at school and he noticed the first day how nobody in class greeted him and he just sat on his desk with a sad expression reading a book. He continued watching him and by the moment he realized he'd been watching for a very long time he came to realize an important fact. He was in love with Skye Lopez. And after getting all of his courage he decided that it was time to talk to him. He didn't care about being called gay or a fag because he only cared about Skye.
- Hey!
He said smiling and saw Skye jump a little bit surprised by the loud greeting, then he analyzed Scott's face and took a step back with a trembling smile.
- H-hi... c-can I help you?
Scott took a step forward and Skye once again took a step back with a little bit of fear on his eyes.
-
You are Skye right?
-
Y-yeah, and y-you are Scott.
-
You know me?
Said Scott with a smiling face and his heart were pumping since the moment Skye said his name with his soft voice and his sexy Spanish accent.
-
Everyone knows you Scott; it's the same with M-Mathew. Skye blushed a little bit when he said Mathew's name and Scott quickly was pierced with an emotion he hadn't felt in a long time, and that was jealously. He tried not to show his pain and tried to talk about something else.
-
You're going to the subway?
-
Yeah.
-
I'm going over there too, let's go together.
An alarm rang on Skye's head, it was a warning alarm; Scott was on the football team and those jerks had been bullying him for a long time and even when Scott didn't took part of any of the bullying he didn't knew if he could trust him.
-
Don't you have a car or something?
-
I felt like walking today, I can go for my car if you want and we can ride together... if you want.
-
N-no, I mean... never mind, I'm fine by myself... Sorry if I'm rude.
Skye turned around and started walking away heading towards the subway and he was stopped once again by Scott who put himself in front of him to block the way.
-
But why not? I mean it'll be better that going alone like always right?
-
... So you noticed...
-
What?
-
The fact that I'm always alone...
-
Oh I didn't mean to-
-
Is fine. I'm not alone, I have family and a good couple of friends, so If you'll excuse me I wouldn't like to lose my train.
There's a hard sentiment on the humans, so hard that can make us go all out to reach a goal and that is... Willpower; if you want to achieve something you must have willpower an unwavering willpower to take strength out of you and make your goals come true. Scott had already decided that this day he would ask Skye out so he was not going to let him go away right now. Using all of his willpower to be brave he took Skye's hand and started walking on the opposite direction of the subway.
-
W-what are you doing?
-
I'm taking you to school.
-
S-stop, please, you don't have to do that.
-
I can't hear you. He said grinning and running across the streets taking the guy of his dreams by the hand. Skye didn't have a clue of what was going on but he could feel something on Scott. Was that...Sincerity? He felt his hand, it was warm and trough that warmth he felt an honest feeling... he felt that Scott wouldn't harm him.
They reached his mansion and Scott opened the garage. He looked over to Skye who was blushing and he noticed that he still was holding his hand. He let go and apologized to Skye who just stared at him blushing.
- S-so, lets hop in.
Said Scott opening the passenger's door of his car, Skye looked at him and decided to get in, Scott closed the door smiling and got into the car, the car came to life and they were on the road a couple of seconds later.
There was silence, Skye was obviously embarrassed by the fact that he was on some stranger's car. Scott probably sensed this and tried talking to him.
-
Don't get so stressed. Its does not bother me taking you.
-
That's easy for you to say...
-
Oh, why do you say that?
-
Well first of all, you could turn your car at any alley and your teammates would be there ready to beat the overloading crap out of me.
Scott looked shocked at this fear but Skye knew way too good...Even when there was no reason to suspect Scott anymore after seeing the honesty on him, Skye still wanted to make sure. He knew way too well that trust is earned.
-
So... those bastards really treat you like that? Even knowing that Scott had been watching Skye for a long time there were obvious times when he couldn't keep and eye on him and these times were by chance when he was bullied.
-
You didn't know?
-
No, I heard about it just yesterday...
Yesterday at lunch Mathew was really angry talking about how their teammates were picking on some kid, when Scott asked who it was Mathew looked a little bit shy and said Skye's name with a faint smile. He couldn't believe it from his teammates because they were pretty cool guys most of the time, sure they picked on some weak kids every now and then but he couldn't believe that they go as far as bullying. But then again picking and bullying is partially and in the end the same thing.
-
... I'm not going to hurt you... not now, not ever, understood?
-
... Yeah.
-
You believe me?
-
I believed you when you took my hand... because you're warm.
-
...
Skye was touching the hand Scott touched and Scott was falling in love more and more with the smile that was on his face.
- Sorry, I said something weird.
Said Skye with a faint shy voice as they approached the school meaning that their trip was over and Scott knew that it was now or never. So he parked the car and looked over to the boy besides him.
-
Skye?
-
Yeah?
He said looking up and fixing his glasses making the cutest face ever. Scott swallowed and was breathing hard, he started to sweat a little bit and his face was red, he could hear his own heart beating and his veins pulsating. He was nervous and wondered why. Why this boy could make him feel this way? Sure he had been watching him and they just started talking but it was inevitable it was sure it was obvious. He was head over hills with the Skye Lopez.
-
Skye... I want to ask you something.
-
... Ok.
-
Ok look, id been living my life without feeling anything for anyone, I dated some girls but they didn't made my heart jump and my face go red like the person I like right now does.
-
Y-you have someone you like?
-
Yeah Skye... I have someone I like.
-
S-so... what do you want to ask?
-
... Skye I-
KNOCK KNOCK A knock on the passenger's window made Skye jump, he looked over his shoulder (since he was facing Scott) and he saw a couple of blue eyes, but not just some blue eyes, those were eyes he knew well, because they belonged to the person he had feelings for. Mathew was there with a blank stare on his eyes and a face that somehow seemed angry but calm. Scott glared at him for ruining the timing and killing his willpower in a flash. He pressed a button and the window got down.
- Can I help you man?
Said Scott with a dead serious face and Mathew responded almost as cool and angry.
-
What are you two doing?
-
Talking.
-
Then why is your face so red? Are you two only talking really?
-
Yeah, my face is red because the car is a little bit hot. Its winter dude so I turned the heat on.
-
Oh, if it's too hot then you two should get out.
-
That's for us to be preoccupied and for you not to care so if you won't mind leaving I'm going to say something really important to Skye.
-
Really?! Something important!
Mathew said with a strong voice and Skye just stayed there a little bit scared and extremely confused. He didn't know what was happening but he could understand that he was probably the cause and he didn't wanted to be a discord apple in a friendship.
-
I-I better just leave, thanks for the ride and for... being so nice to me Scott...
-
You don't have to get out of the car; you are not doing anything wrong here.
-
No Scott I really need to go to class now...
He opened the car avoiding Mathew's face because he knew that he would melt if he saw him so close. Then he closed the door and looked over to Scott trough the window.
-
Thanks... I know I'm not your type of friend to hang out but... This was nice so if you'd like...
-
I'll see you at lunch Skye.
Scott said smiling at him and he smiled back, he was going away when Mathew patted his shoulder.
-
You Ok? How are your injuries? Those guys didn't hurt you yesterday right?
-
... I-I-I'm fine... really, don't worry about me... just the feeling makes me feel happy. So then I see you around.
-
...You can bet on that sweet one.
Skye didn't had the time to register that on his mind because his face was already red and the embarrassment was so big that he just ran away... when he could not be seen Mathew opened the door of the car and got in. Scott knew that a talk was coming so he closed the window.
-
... You brought Skye Lopez to school?
-
Yeah what of it?
-
... Why?
-
Because I felt like it Mathew. I like the guy and I think we can be friends.
-
Only friends?
Mathew was about to say yes but his feelings shut his mouth. He couldn't say it because he liked Skye on a way that wasn't that of a friend, he liked him as a lover.
-
That's for me to know and for you not to care Mathew... why the sudden interest on Skye Lopez?
-
... Because he is everything for me.
-
What?!
-
What you heard, I'd been watching him for a long time now and you know, I felt like I can finally love someone again...since I saw him for the first time two years ago I couldn't be able to forget his smile.
-
... I'd been watching Skye for a long time too.
-
I know Scott; I know everything about Skye so is just normal that I know who is interested in him.
Mathew knew everything about his beloved Skye, even the bullying but he was a coward... he's always been a coward, he cared too much about appearances and what having a gay son will do to his parents and their family's name so he never approached him, he never stood up for him, because he was a coward.
Love... the strongest power in the universe, even greater than magic itself, when you fall in love you give everything for that person, your life, your job, your reputation, your body, your soul, you give your everything. So love is not for cowards... love is not for cowards who are too scared of other people's minds instead of their own love. Because you need to make sacrifices for love, you need to be against the world if it's necessary so love is not for cowards. And Mathew realized that he'd been a coward way too long. He once was wounded by love and became a coward worried about what people might think or if there's even worth having such a feeling but now he understood what being in love meant. So yesterday he stood up against their teammates not caring anymore of rumors and understanding that Skye was worth it all. His smile was worth it all.
In exchange for being brave yesterday the magic that love has gave him a gift that was exchanging for the first time some words with Skye and seeing the smile that could lit up a world directed to him.
-
I'm not giving him to anyone, not even to you Mathew.
-
I know, I'm not doing that either so we... we...
-
We fight, for Skye, were rivals.
-
...How did this happen? How did we fell for the same guy?
-
Because Skye is perfect. And we humans seek for perfection in all the things we do.
-
Yeah, he is perfect.
`That was really awkward' said Shawn who was on the necklace and his voice could be heard only for Skye. Skye learned to talk to him trough magical telepathy last night.
`' Yeah it was really awkward, I think... maybe Mathew didn't want his friend to hang out with a loser like me'' responded Skye taking his books out of his locker and Shawn groaned at him.
`'don't you dare say things like that Skye! I'm sure you would make a fine couple''
`' yeah in my dreams''
`'believe Skye, after all magic is all about believing in it''
`'Yeah, I think I'll believe for now''
Then he felt someone coming from behind, it was no treat, this person wouldn't harm him not even in a million years. The person he felt coming and hugging him from behind was his best friend Rory.
-
Rory...
-
Sorry... I'm such a girl, I thought I was never going to see you again so for now let me hug you...
-
Yes. I'm sorry I worried you.
-
Dummy, you always get on trouble. Going to the museum at a time like that...
They stood like there for a second not worrying about who might be watching and then someone slammed the locker next to them, Skye as usual jumped he was that kind of nervous boy, Rory otherwise broke the hug and watched the troll-like guy who was there staring at them with disgust and hate.
- Do you have a problem Perry?
Asked Rory to the lead bully of the school and he just kept on staring. Rory was brave, he was that kind of boy; he was glaring at the bully putting himself in front of his friend in a protective form. It seemed like a small child being protected by an even smaller child against some sort of monster.
-
Don't act gay first thing in the morning.
-
Oh sorry, I can act gay all I want because I am gay. If you don't like it look away.
There was something on the eyes of Rory that Dustin Perry hated, he was a bully, he enjoyed being strong and hurting the weak, punishing them because they are different, because they are weaker, smaller, geeks, smarter. He enjoyed punching this kind of people it made him feel better about himself... but there was something on Rory's eyes that he hated, and that was fortitude, Rory was one of the representation of the things he hated the most, because he was weak, small, smart and a geek. But the difference from the rest of the kids he hurt was that he never showed fear and always had his poisonous tongue ready to counterattack the bullies and he hated the fact that every word seemed to pierce him like knives.
-
Look blue hair, you better watch it.
-
Leave us alone bitch-face I will hug my best friend all I like in public.
-
What did you just call me?! Skye took a step back when he saw Rory take the bully by the collar of his shirt and get closer to his face. He knew that Rory's words were coming, that was one of his most powerful weapons. Rory could make every man shiver with his words. Every student also knew this and stop on their tracks to hear Rory.
-
And on top of all you're deaf. Sorry man I thought that your ugly face was genetics but now I see that is because of some accident you had when you were a child that probably made you deaf and made your face looks like a bitch, and not an expensive bitch I mean one of those old whores that are cheaper than soda. So do us all a favor and go get some surgery to look a little bit better and brush your teeth because the fact that you always try to shove that stinking breath all the time when you're bullying is disgusting, and then you try to act all strong by saying stupid treats and insults that nobody use and make you sound and look absolutely ridiculous.
He pushed the bully who was on shock back and took Skye by the hand and started to walk away, he knew that when he got out of his shock he was going to come after them so he needed to leave before. They walked away and stopped in an empty hall, he immediately hugged Skye shoving his face on his chest and Skye smiled at him with sadness.
-
Why Skye? Why did I fell in love with a bully?
-
Its going to be fine dude, I swear is going to be fine.
-
I didn't mean those things I said. I didn't, I love him... so why did I said those things?
-
Because he needs to understand, bullying is bad and he needs to understand.
-
But he is not ugly and I called him all those names.
-
Well he'd been calling us worse things before.
-
... Yeah that's right.
-
It'll be fine little one.
Said Skye imitating the calm voice that Mr. Arthur always had when talked, Rory calmed a little bit and Skye cleaned his tears with a handkerchief.
-
Hey green eyes.
-
Yeah?
Said Rory with a faint sad voice looking up and Skye only wanted to hug him, because Rory was adorable, those big green eyes, that white skin and his blue hair made him look different and cute in every aspect and Skye loved him like the little brother he never had.
-
Want to know about a superhero?
-
The one that showed up on the museum?
-
Yeah.
By now was the biggest news on the city, the superhero that saved everyone from being killed in the museum, they showed the tapes of the rescue and everyone was excited by having a superhero in their city. Mr. Arthur showed the tapes to everyone but he of course edited the part when he took Skye with the book to his office and he became Red Sorcery.
-
Well then let's omit first period, is that alright?
-
Yeah its fine, that old hag wouldn't notice if all of her students are not there anyways.
-
Then look up and hold onto me tightly.
Skye put a finger on the air and drew a circle with it, when that happened a big red complicated magic circle appeared on the ceiling of the empty hall, Rory then understood and smiled while holding his friend tightly. Then they started floating in the midair and Rory gasped, Skye hold onto him and they flew to the circle and disappeared from the hallway.
On the roof of the school was another circle with the exact same pattern on the floor, it suddenly shone a red light and from there the boys showed up coming from the light. Rory opened his eyes and looked at Skye with a happy excited face.
-
You are Red Sorcery?
-
I am Red Sorcery. But keep it a secret.
-
Holy mackerel!
-
If you thought that was cool then look at this.
Skye walked some steps away from his friend and then he stood there with his eyes closed, he raised his hands like a music director and a complicated red pentagram appeared under his feet. The light shone again and his clothes started to change with that red light. Rory had to cover his eyes a little bit watching him mutate to the new superhero and when the light fade out he saw Red Sorcery where his friend was.
-
So is this totally cool or what?
-
This is more than cool man.
-
No this is a disgrace!
They heard a voice yelling at them and from the necklace appeared Shawn with angry black eyes. - Who-
-
Rory this is my friend Shawn, is like the source of my power. Shawn this is my best friend Rory.
-
Idiot! You explain the superhero thing to me last night and you said that you never should reveal your secret identity, what are you doing now?
-
Well calm down little snowball.
Said Rory who took him on his hands not being able to withstand the cute white ball that appeared, Rory had a liking for cute things and now he was looking at Shawn with a smile on his face.
-
Superheroes tell their best friends first and their best friends help them keeping their secret. Right Skye?
-
Yeah, it happens almost all the time.
-
... Really?
Said Shawn not completely convinced about the situation. Rory smiled again, he was too cute to withstand.
-
You should read comic books. I have tons on my room.
-
Well, maybe I will when we get home then... Skye there's something happening in the city.
Shawn freed himself from Rory who started hugging him and stared where the center of the city was. It was like he could hear when someone needed help.
-
... It's a fire, there are people inside.
-
Then we must go!
-
Skye...
Even if your best friend, is a superhero you can't help but worry a little bit when they're about to jump to the danger, that's what Rory thought and Skye smiled at him, Rory noticed from the first moment... that in the moment Skye changed to be Red Sorcery his attitude changed. Rory knew Skye for a long time, he knew he was shy in front of other people but when he was in front of Rory he could be the most interesting fun and happy person in the world, but that was only in front of some people like his family and his few friends. For the rest he was shy and insecure. But he changed when he became Red Sorcery it was like he was always the Skye he showed to his family instead of the shy Skye and that was really amazing.
-
I'll be fine green eyes.
-
Take care; ill be here when you come back.
-
Then, I'll be leaving.
He started floating and then with incredible speed Red Sorcery flew away and Rory couldn't do anything more than wish for his safety. Red Sorcery flew for the streets following the directions that Shawn was giving to him. The people on the streets could see them fly with amazed faces and some kids waved their hands yelling hellos to them, Skye waved back while flying.
Then they reached the place, it was a big apartment building that was on fire, there were still people inside and the firemen couldn't get in. He floated for a moment and then he smiled. The people saw him floating and they saw what was going too happened next. Shawn changed his form and his pages flew then they stopped in the indicated spell and Skye raised his arms while a red pentagram drew under his feet while he was still floating.
- Come, come arise, twin water dragons, and wake up from your sleep to help this people, I'm sure you had a powerful form and strength. So why don't you show me that form one more time? Come; come arise, Twin Water Dragons.
Two pentagrams were drawn under 2 of the hydrants near the building and the people ran away from the place after Skye yelled to step back so they won't get hurt. Then with a loud BOOM the hydrants flew away and exploded in the air, the water tower that came out of there raised to the heavens but there was something wrong with it. It wasn't a water tower, because this water was alive and it has the form of a dragon, two to be exactly, two dragons came out from the hydrants.
SNAP Skye snapped his fingers and the dragons threw themselves to the building killing the fire. While they were on their job Skye had something he needed to do. He needed to enter the building and take out the people there. He took a breath of air.
- Well Spiderman did this right? There's no way I'm going to lose against the arachnid boy.
Like a red thunder he flew and entered the building from a window, and with incredible speed he was searching every room for someone, he took two people under his coat and they disappeared. On the outside there was a red pentagram and from there the people he just saved came out looking fine and safe.
He did this around the whole building yelling to see if someone could respond and when they yelled back he would fly there to save them, the fire was strong, but was going down; the dragons were doing their job really well.
He came out of the building with a girl on his arms; he didn't want to put her trough the red circle like the rest, which could've scary for a child so he took her outside. It seemed like she was the last. By that time the fire died and the dragons disappeared and the hydrants were put magically on their places.
-
Are you ok?
-
Samantha!
A worried mother screamed and he put the girl down she ran to where her mother was and they hugged each other then the mother looked at him.
-
You... you're just a kid, and you risked your life for all of us... why?
-
Because that's what a superhero does ma'am.
-
Thank you. Thank you very much.
She hugged him and the little girl kissed him on the cheek and that was enough reward for Skye, he was overloaded with happiness from that thankfulness and for seeing everyone safe.
- Is there someone missing?
All the people present look at each other and they shook their heads, everyone was safe... or probably not.
-
One of our men, he got inside and the transmission was cut, he could be unconscious.
-
What?
He heard one of the firemen say that and then a big tremor made everyone jump, the structure of the building was starting to fall and Skye yelled at the firemen and the people present.
-
Step back! I'll go to search for him but don't get any closer. He flew into the building once more looking for him, he flew trough every room without finding anyone, the ceiling was starting to fall and he had to dash over the pieces of concrete falling from the sky. - Shawn, you don't sense anyone?

No... wait, yeah I found him, is in the next room, is the only one left.
He flew onto the next room and he saw the fireman buried under a bunch of concrete, without thinking Skye ran over to where he was and tried to take the things out of his body and then his coat shone with a red light when that happened he found himself with super strength and he could lift all the heavy things but then a loud sound made him look up and he saw how the whole building coming down. He quickly covered the man's body with his and the whole building collapsed. Outside the people stared in silence, the boy didn't came out with the fireman... he couldn't save him?
-
Can someone help me here please? I think he needs a doctor. They all turned around and saw Red Sorcery holding a fireman with a red circle under them. The paramedics ran towards them and prepared the man to take him away but he hold onto Skye's hand. He slowly opened his eyes and looked over to Skye's eyes.
-
T-thank you...
-
Don't mention it.
Said the boy smiling and they took the man away, but his job wasn't over.
- Does someone have a picture of this place before it was destroyed?
Asked the superhero to the people around and a young man came with his phone. He showed him the picture and Skye smiled like it was enough and then he stared at the ruined building.
-
This is going to be hard. After all I just became a superhero yesterday.
-
You can do it. But if you feel is too much retreat ok?
Said Shawn and Skye nodded his head, Shawn changed its form to the book and Skye read the spell. He sighed deeply and stared at the building... the whole crowd was silent, even the reporters that were there from the beginning went silent... then... he closed his eyes and started to talk to the building like it was a living being.
- Come, come try to remember, what kind of form did you had? I'm sure it was a beautiful form, a strong form to protect the people who lived inside you...
He started to say with sweat on his face and the ruined building started to shine with a red light and everyone gasped.
- ... I bet you saw for generations how they lived happily under your roof, so you cant give up now, not for the people who still wants to live inside of you and the generations that will want to live inside too... so come and try to remember, what kind of form did you had... remember those strong walls.
The walls started to be constructed.
- Those beautiful windows.
The windows started to be constructed too.
- Your floors, your rooms and the things the people had in their houses.
The whole building started to be constructed once again and shone with that red light, it took form once more and in less than five minutes what the fire tried to destroy was once again revived and the building stood there like it was new.
- So come and try to remember.
With those words the lights fade away and the building was reconstructed. Skye fell to his knees sweating and breathing hard his tan skin was now pale and his eyes were a little bit teary. Reconstructing a building was a really hard thing to do, even with magic.
Then it came again... he heard it and then he saw it when he raised up his head... it was the cheering, the happy faces the thankfulness on their eyes, Skye felt like he just did something really amazing for so many people and they were glad, they were giving their thanks and Skye was more than happy when he saw them.
- Red Sorcery is it?
Came one reporter and he nodded standing up still feeling a little bit dizzy.
-
You just did something impossible and we want to know why? Why would you risk your life and why would you do this for us? Why would you be willing to be our superhero?
-
Because...
He said taking a deep breath regaining his composure. He then smiled to the camera and talked in a cheery voice pointing to the people.
- Because they need it. They need to be safe and they deserve to be protected. I'm just a helping hand to the justice and good. So that's why I'm going to risk my life, that's why I'm going to do this for all of you, that's why I'm willing to be your superhero... because all of you deserve it.
He started floating and everyone looked at him still cheering and smiling. He waved and flew like a red thunder trough the skies. The reporter looked back at the camera and talked.
- You heard it here first, Red Sorcery the new superhero.
Mr. Arthur watched the news from his office and smiled proudly.
