((1278 years into present day))
“Cian†opened his eyes to the buzzing of his alarm clock and groaned rolling over and out of his head feeling the harsh and cold embrace of his hardwood floor. Standing up he cracked his neck and stepped out of his clothes grabbing his shower towel “Another day another bore†he said with a simple sigh of frustration he ruffled his short brown hair and laughed looking in the mirror at his now sticking up hair then paused to stair at his icy blue eyes which he knew were really not his own yet girl’s seemed to love them and he didn’t even know why. Turning on the shower he knew that he was never himself to begin with but simply a host. From what his “True†inhabitant had told him the real person within him was named Isabella and had been here after her own death way back when. The two could common through their thoughts but that was it. From what he understood Isabella had to seek out and destroy the other twenty nine chosen not to mention Ryu, if she wished to reclaim her body and start anew this sadly meant that Thomas would be no more but a lost soul headed for a second life elsewhere.
Stepping into the water he jumped slightly at the heat and closed his eyes letting the water soak over the kinks in his body from sleeping for so long. He had skipped the day at school the previous day just so he could sleep and all it resulted in was bed sores. He let his thoughts connect with the mind of Isabella “Hey Isabella?†he asked waiting for a response. A feminine voice echoed in the back of his mind “Yes what is it Cian?†he paused even when thinking which was completely odd. Soon after he responded “If you need to kill these chosen... Should you not have done it by now?†he asked technically himself. A small laugh was heard in his mind making him shudder for some reason “No not as of yet but since you have reached the age that you have got some physical capability I suppose we could “she answered almost in a superior tone making Cian feel a little put down.
He finished his shower in silence not wishing to commune with Bella any more. Toweling off he slipped into his undergarments and his pants, as he was finishing buttoning up the top of his pants the phone rang causing him to dash and trip on the baggy bottoms of his pants. He crawled on the floor with a groan and picked up the phone. With a strained voice he replied “Ello?†he asked getting up and shaking off the impact of the fall. It was his father on the other end “Cian? You ready for school or what?†Cian grumbled, his father did this ever damn day and it was getting on his last nerve “Yes father of course I am†he said slamming it down on the receiver “Arrogant...†he cut himself off sliding down the banister of the stairs and landing on the middle floor just before the front door.
Picking up a granola bar he set it between his teeth as he put on his shoes, picked up his binder and locked the door. Then he was off awaiting the bus to get to his stop and take him off to boredom. After ten minuets of waiting his “carriage†was here to bring him to school. Flipping on his music and blaring “Phyocosocial†all he could think about was, “What if one of my friends has a spirit of a chosen?†he cringed at the thought it meant he would have to kill one of his closest friends and for a what ? A pain in the rear spirit that had been with him at birth? He shook off the thought as they arrived at school. Reading the letters above him that spelt Sir John A. He sighed and pressed inside and up to the upper lobby where several of his friends awaited him.
