"What's this guys' power?! Super speed, maybe? Strength? I just don't get it." Whispers a grey-eyed teen that looks almost the same age as Apollo behind a bush. "I have to find out what it is... then I can have more fun killing him." He smiles, then he disappears into thin air.

       "What're you even gonna do with all that money?" Asks a girl who also looks about the same age as Apollo.

       "Give it to you, duh." Answers Apollo, holding out the money. "To get music stuff."

       "Y'see, I already have all the music stuff I need. Maybe just donate the money." She sighs. "If you give it to me, I'll just donate it all." 

       "Fine, do whatever you want. But I'm giving it to you. I beat up five searchers for this money."

       "Ha, like that cost you anything. I could do the same, but 20x. All at the same time. While everything around me is on fire. And I have a broken arm, and-"

       "Yeah yeah, I know your very strong and all that. Just take the money." Apollo says stubbornly. "I'm gonna go on a walk. Wanna come, Em?"

       She sighs. "Fine, but call me Emerson, okay?"

       "Okay... whoever gets to the alleyway first wins, cya Em!" Apollo says playfully, bolting away.

       "GET BACK HERE RIGHT NOW!! Ugh, so unfair! You know the way better than I do!" Emerson says, trying to catch up.

       "Hey, remember me?"

       "Ugh. Em, let's go a different way." Apollo says while rolling his eyes. He turns to walk away but the guy pops up in front of him. His cold, grey eyes still give me the shivers... I can still remember that day. This b*tch. Who does he think he is, coming here? If only he couldn't teleport. I would've got him in jail for life by now. Wait, he's right here! If I just grab hi- no, he's about to teleport.

       And Apollo was right, he did teleport.

       "Miss me, Apollo?" He sneers. "Oh, hello! And who might you be? A replacement?" Says the grey-eyed man, gesturing towards Emerson.

       "Excuse me? I'm no replacement. I'm Emerson, and who are you, so rudely budding into our lives like this?" Says Emerson. Wow, even she could sense his annoyingness. Makes sense, since he's practically radiating it.

       "Oh, I never budded into your lives. I was here about 2 years ago. I just took a hiatus. And for your information, I'm Aether. Nice to meet you, Emerson." Smiles Aether.

       "Can you just leave me alone, Aether? I don't need you in my life anymore." Says Apollo. "After what you did 2 years ago, I don't ever want to see your face ever again. So why don't you just teleport and leave. Forever."

       "Woah woah woah, calm down you two, I'm confused. Do you guys know each other?" Asks Emerson.

       "Yes, I murdered his crush." Calmly says Aether.

       "Wait what?!" She says, taken aback

       "Yeah, and he thinks I'm trying to replace her. We're just friends, jerk." Angrily says Apollo.

       "UH-"

       "If you just told me your power, I wouldn't have to have done any of this." Replies Aether.

       "IM SO CONFUS-" Shouts Emerson before she gets cut off by Apollo.

      "YOU NEVER HAD TO DO ANY OF THIS! IMAGINE JUST WALKING BY AND HEARING SCREAMS OF HELP FROM YOUR CRUSH'S PLACE. YOU RUN IN AND SEE THIS PSYCHO-A** B*TCH HOLDING A KNIFE AND HER, ALMOST DEAD! BLOOD EVERYWHERE... And... and before you have time to get the killer, he slits her throat and teleports away... and she's gone. Just like that. And you have to live the rest of your life, wishing that she would just... that you would just... forget about her... but that's impossible. Because she was one of the only two people who your powers didn't work on. Couldn't work on. Wouldn't work on. You were perfect for each other, destined for a happy, long life. But no, because of that a** hole, it's all over. You have no future with her. You're... alone. Then finally, when you're maybe, almost about to move on, you aren't alone anymore, your life is going okay for the first time in 2 years, he shows up again, ready to purge your existence in a simple few weeks, maybe. And you feel... like you can't do anything. Like your on the edge of feeling the same way you felt 2 years ago. When she died. When she got murdered. And you... you're... you're hopeless." Says Apollo in tears, then he runs back toward the house. "You know where to find me, Em." That was so dumb, I just said that in front of Aether. In front of Em. Crap. Oh no! I left Em with that psycho! Sigh. At least she's less defenseless than... her. I bet she'll be fine.

       "That was a little harsh, don't ya think?" Remarks Aether.

       Emerson takes a step away from Aether. Surely, he must be dangerous if he committed murder without remorse like that. But hey, she can take him. She decides to face Aether.

       "No, it wasn't. You killed that girl. You... murdered someone. Who are you?!"

       "Me? I'm just good ol' Aether! Anyhoo, I'm off. See you soon, friend." And with that, Aether teleported away. He leaves behind a chilly aura of death and destruction in his trail.
