“Are you done ranting?” Cole asked with impatience and slight irritation, leaning heavily against the counter of his lab, his arms shaking with the effort. he stared at Alain who, moments ago, had been going on another long rant about his health, before being interrupted by Cole himself. what did it matter to him anyway? Cole was a grown man, what he did and how he did it was HIS business, he didn't need to be berated like some little kid!.
Alain stood there, shocked, he and Cole had this discussion many times in the past, in fact, they had it every time Cole was like this, visibly tired from lack of sleep, body noticeably thinner, most likely from skipping meals, it seemed like it was an effort for Cole to simply stand up, never mind run tests in the lab. Every time it went the same, except this time.
Normally Alain would rant for a while, Cole would simply nod his head, He would continue ranting, Cole would prepare some tests and then start asking him for his help, Alain would ask him, or even plead to him to, at least, eat something that day, Cole would agree.... although he rarely went through with it. But this time, he had been stopped mid-rant.
Alain snapped himself out of his daze “excuse me?!” he said, Cole turned around, resting his forearms on the counter and looking straight at Alain “The ranting, are you done yet? Because I hired you as a lab assistant, NOT A DOCTOR!” Cole shouted, tears threatening to fall down his face, he was panting heavily and shaking, if it was from anger or fatigue, neither of them knew, maybe it was a bit of both.
Alain squinted his eyes and clenched his teeth, he felt ebbs of anger within himself, how could Cole be so... so selfish! Couldn't he see what he was doing to, not only himself, but others around him! How Roxie looked at him with sad, tired eyes, as if she'd seen this a thousand times before, How Alex would avoid looking at him, as if he was a bad omen, How even Mike fell silent in his presence, as if a single word would blow him away, how could he not see it?! How could one man be so blind! Could he not see how even Alain himself looked over his shoulder, checking on him, waiting for the day the man dropped dead where he stood!
Alain took a deep breath, but he knew now was not the time for anger, especially when his friend was in such a state, so he tried his best to keep the anger out of his voice, at least for now. “You may not have hired me as a doctor but I still am one, and your friend, you can't expect me to just sit by while you ruin your health!” as soon as those words left his mouth Alain winced, that last part came out a lot angrier than he had meant it to.
Cole groaned, rubbing his temples in little circles, it was honestly getting harder for him to keep his head clear, his vision going dark around the edges, and he really didn't want to deal with this today “if I want someone to get on my back about my health, I'll go have a chat with my sister THANK YOU VERY MUCH!” Cole replied, He didn't need this, there was always someone, always something! If it wasn't his health, it was something else, Cole knew what he was doing, at least, that was what he kept telling himself, he's lived through much worse...
“I may not be able to do much Cole, but I REFUSE to let you continue without at least doing something! This isn't something I can ignore!” His face fell, something about those words broke Cole, flashes of memories past, long black hair and red filled his vision, Cole broke eye contact, shaking his head before looking at the floor, “you can learn to, others have” Cole muttered, he tried in vain to stop the tears, but now they were freely flowing down his face.
As soon as those words left his mouth, all of Alain's anger was snuffed out, replaced with an even greater concern for his dear friend. There was silence, as he searched for something to say, search for something that would make it better. Cole let out a choked sob, the tears falling faster, his body trembling with an even greater force then before.
Alain couldn't take the overbearing silence, save for Cole's sobbing every now and again, he couldn't take seeing his friend like this, and so broke the silence “Cole...” he took a step towards him, “Don't...” Cole whispered, his voice cracking, he tried to recompose himself, wiping the tears away, he pushed off the counter “Lets jus-”
Without the counter to support him, he was only able to take one step towards Alain, before both his legs gave out, his eyes widened in shock and surprise as he fell towards the tiled floor of the lab with a yelp. Alain, being quick on his feet, was there to catch him before Cole could hit the ground.
With both men now sitting on the ground, Alain gave Cole a quick check over before asking “Are you okay?” it came out slightly panicked, Cole shook his head, tears once again streaming down his face, and with a sob Cole held onto Alain's shirt, burying his face deep into the fabric as he continued to tremble, the little composure he had found previously, lost once again.
As sobs wrecked through Cole's body, all Alain could do was hold him, rubbing little circles into his back gently, after a couple of minutes, Cole finally broke away, rubbing his eyes “Yeah.... yeah.... I'm fine... Lets just...” he looked around before sighing, “lets just take the rest of today off”

How could anyone know what was about to happen. Screams of panic mixed in with the sirens as everyone rushed for the underground shelter, trampling over one another.
How was Dani to know that by saving the boy, trapped under the rubble, she was dooming herself.Â
How was Elly to know that they had decided to not save those at the hospital, the same hospital that had her comatose boyfriend, in favour of healthy individuals and the military.
How was Anders to know that by trying to help his friend, they'd both be trapped.
None of them knew, but would that have changed their decisions, if they had known what fate had in-store for them, would they have chosen differently or try harder to make the right choice? It didn't matter to them now, the past was the past.
As the doors closed, screams filled the air mixed with pleading, drowning out the sirens. Dani watched as the doors closed, closing her eyes and accepting, what she thought, would be her demise. Elly held on to her boyfriend's hand, tears rolling down her face, as she said goodbye. Anders and Jerome, being trapped on opposing ends, made plans to meet, thinking they still had time. After what felt like an eternity, the bomb hit.
The pleads were replaced by screams of pain, as the gas spread across the land. Bones cracked, and soon the noises became inhumane. Some were lucky and mutated with ease, others were not. This is when the mutants first saw the Atoms.
Dani was surrounded by them, her newly formed third eye fully opened, thoughts invaded her head, filling it till that was all she could hear. The Atoms ignored her, mistaking her for one of them, later they would know the difference.
Elly was also surrounded by Atoms, in a less than desirable place, a hospital. Where the rooms were small and filled, with newly made Atoms, she would have been done for, if not for her boyfriend, sitting up abruptly, eyes open, sending shock waves through the near by systems, frying the Atoms.
Anders and Jerome would not find the Atoms until much later, when everything had calmed down. Jerome would find himself cornered by them, but to be saved by Dani, and then to save her in turn by merging. Anders would have a few close calls, and find out how most Atoms ticked, to then be found by Dani and Jerome.
They did not know, that this, was only the start of a new world, and a new team, where they all worked together, becoming closer, to try and survive this apocalypse. Â Â
Honestly, I never thought I would find myself in this position. My mother warned me about this and my father works against it, maybe it was from my lack of knowledge on the subject, that betrayed me in the end, or maybe I have a dark desire... I don't know, all I do know is that I’m in trouble, big time. I sit in my room at Healmarths Academy for the supernatural, it's a boarding school for all supernatural beings, anything from werewolves and vampires to ghost and sorcerers. My name is Scarlet Amir and I’m an elementlist, a sorceress who can control the elements, I have emerald eyes and honey blond hair but sadly, I was not the only one in my room.
A tall girl stood in my room, her crimson eyes going over every detail of the room, her face staying neutral, her long pearl white hair tumbling halfway down her back. She stood and walked with elegance and as she turned her head to the side, I could see on the left side of her face, where a beauty mark would be, was a tattoo of a diamond coloured purple, matching the one on my hand and the gem hanging in a cage around my neck. She walked over to my bookcase, and this is when we see parts of her true self, she lifted a claw to one of the books, the claws were slender, unlike that of a werewolf, but they were still sharpened at the end of each finger and the nail was as black as a starless sky, this girl is a demon. I have made no deal with her and yet, she calls me her master.
I tried recalling the events that lead to... this, I had not asked for this. In this school, I have two other friends Jason and Nebula, they are boyfriend and girlfriend, which sometimes makes me feel like a third-wheel but only rarely. Jason is a vampire, an original, meaning that he was born a vampire, not made one, he has red hair and ice blue eyes, we share archaeology and history. Nebula is a ghost, I use to know her before, she was an elven sorceress like me, only her talent was the shadows and not the elements, which meant it was harder for her to resist the call of demons, she was possessed by a demon and killed because of it. She has bright pink hair and her eyes no longer have pupils or irises, we share English and Math.
It was during archaeology that it happened, the class had planned a trip to a digging site, we didn't think we were going to find anything of interest, it's surprising how wrong we were. I mostly stayed by Jason during the digging, we each had our own squares to dig around in, it was mostly light-hearted, until Felicia “dropped” some dirt onto my back.
Right Felicia and her crew were the worst of the worst, three in total. Felicia is the so-called leader of the group, typical rich girl attitude with her auburn her and cognac eyes, she was just like me a sorceress, an elementlist, that decided to make my life and my friends lives, a living hell, trying to one up us every chance she gets. Her friend Clora could be just down right terrifying, she comes from the Garno. It's very rare to see them since they like to stay far away from others, they are like centaurs except instead of their bottom half being a horse, it's a spider half, they are quite vicious, she has four black eyes and cherry red hair and finally Raoul, a werewolf, he's very strong and is Clora's boyfriend, he has hazel eyes and dark brown hair. They mostly mock us and even get violent with us, beating us up, and when we stand up for ourselves, they play the victim card. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
After Jason helped clean the dirt off my back, we continued digging. After a while, I came across a box, curiosity took over me and I opened it, resting inside was a gem, a purple diamond, I called Mr. Iden over “hmm... interesting find Scarlet” he said with a grin, “it's just a stupid gem, I got lots of them at home” Felicia scoffed, I rolled my eyes, I spotted a piece of dirt on it and wiped it off. I should of learnt my lesson from genies.
The gem started glowing, I dropped the box and backed up with the rest of the class “what stupid thing did you do this time Scarlet?” Felicia said, purple lighting erupted from the box and Felicia yelped, I would have laughed if I wasn't scared myself. Finally the gem stop glowing and with one bolt of lighting, a purple figure stood in front of us, its eyes opened to reveal crimson eyes and as it stood forward, putting its left hand forward, it took shape.
It hand became a sharpened claw, and took the form of the demon in my room, white hair, crimson eyes, slick and elegant. She was dressed in rags and spoke with a silvery, yet flat voice, she spoke, never taking her eyes off the group, but she wasn't speaking English, no one could understand her, beside Mr. Iden who said “she's speaking in Latin” he stepped forward, she eyed his movement “do you not know English?” she tilted her head and spoke again, Mr. Iden nodded and raised his left hand, she shook her head and said something else, Mr. Iden nodded and turned to us “she just wants you to raise your left hand towards her” we all looked at our hands and I was shocked to find a tattoo of a purple diamond on mine, what could that mean? I shook my head and raised it, she looked down the line and her eyes stopped at me, she pointed at me and spoke “we-what is s-she saying, what does she want with me?!” I said tremulously.
With her sharp claws and teeth, was it any wonder why I was scared, Mr. Iden turned to her but she was kneeling down “throughout the years, I have had many Masters, from the poorest of peasants to the richest of kings, I serve each Master with loyalty and utmost respect, the gem has been passed to each new Master, and now it has fallen to you, you have become my new Master. Now take my hand, and take the role of my new Master” she said, she raised up from her kneeling position and extended her hand towards me.
I shook my head, I didn't know what she was and I wasn't going to risk it, I went behind Jason. She seemed confused by this action. Felicia scoffed “ 'course you're too scared to be a Master, me on the other hand” she started walking towards the girl “hey you don't want that girl, she's useless and ugly, I would be better at being your Master” “Felicia...” Mr. Iden warned. The girl looked at her with a flat expression, Felicia extended her hand “I'll take the role of being your Master” the girl simply shook her head and started walking towards me “HEY! You can't just walk away from me!” Felicia shouted, she jogged up to the girl and stood in front of her, the girl growled and bore her teeth, Felicia went white and stepped aside.
She arrived in front of Jason when he said “No, don't you see, she doesn't want to be your Master!” she rolled her eyes “she touched the gem” “she didn't know!” he shouted “not my problem” she said “she doesn't want-” she cut him off “not my problem” she extended her hand towards me again “NO!” Jason said bearing his fangs, she growled “is that a threat?” Jason stood his ground, she laughed “oh I understand, you know Master, I can't hurt you” she said looking straight at me then she turned her head towards Jason “but that doesn't extend to your 'friends'” she stepped back “so you have a choice, accept the role you have been given or I start hurting your 'friends' here, starting with this foolish vampire”
everyone was silent, Mr. Iden stood forward “if you want to hurt my students, you have to go through me first” she inhaled deeply and looked at him with a grin that showed all her sharp teeth “shape shifter, why don't you take on a better form before we fight?” he howled, growing horns out the side of his head, charging full speed towards her, planning on ramming her, she positioned herself, ready to take the blow, as he came towards her, she grabbed his horns and stopped him right in his path. She held him there, purple lighting started bursting out her back, they travelled up from her back to her shoulders and down her arms, Mr. Idens' eyes widen as the lighting connected with his horns, he cried out in pain, squirming, trying to get away as she held him down.
“can you see? I'm more than worthy, come forth now, to end this poor sods pain” she yelled, he was crying in pain but said “no don't” she snapped her head towards him “insolent, you'll pay for that” she muttered and held his right horn tightly, before ripping it off his head, he yelled in pain, green blood pooling out of the hole, he collapsed, only being held up by his other horn, that she held, I could see his eyes fluttering shut
“stop!” I cried out, she looked at me, confused? She must know what she's doing, she sighed “ just accept your role, so I can heal him” I shook my head, tears streaming down my face, she sighed, muttering something like, I'm sorry? and started pulling the other horn. I couldn't take it and ran up to her grabbing her left hand “stop” I whispered out, purple lighting went up my arm and around my body but it didn't hurt, she dropped his horn and he landed with a thud.
I looked up at her, I had accepted, I wonder what that meant, I didn't have a choice, she was going to kill him, and some part of me said she had killed before, I breathed in shakily, the smell of blood pungent in the air “heal him” she nodded her head, she looked less vicious then she did before. She knelt down and put the horn on the hole in his head, a white light came from her back and followed the same route as the purple lighting, when it reached his head, the skin seemed to reseal itself around the horn, the finally drop of green blood fell on the floor and he was fully healed. She stood up and stepped back, he groaned and she looked at me “he might have a headache” I looked at her “is that from the healing or-” she cut me off  “it's from having his horns pulled out, Master” great, was she just going to call me Master now.
The teacher knelt up and looked at me “I-i accepted” I stuttered, he rubbed his head “it's fine scarlet” there was a pause “but what is she going to do?” he continued, I turned around and found her staring at me “we-what are you g-going to do?” I asked “follow your orders, I live to serve Master” she recited “y-you're n-not going to h-hurt anyone e-else?” she shrugged “no, unless you ask me to Master” “good to know” Mr. Iden said, Jason stepped forward and asked “what are you? I've never seen anyone with such power” she smiled at him, by this point I knew when she smiled, it normally meant something bad “I'm a demon”
After that we went back to the academy, the demon had made the gem into a necklace to hang around my neck, the teachers needed to decide what they were going to do. The demon was given clothes and followed my every step, she didn't say much unless spoken to directly, and her face stayed emotionless, finally they came to the decision of calling the ministry, and they decided to send their expert, my father, to the academy but he was currently away dealing with another demon, and since the one with me followed my every command, they decided it could wait till my fathers' return and that is why I'm here, in my room with the demon.
