Premonitions

By M.D Sora

“Talk to us Riku, tell us how you’re feeling. Keeping your emotions bottled up like this isn’t good, let us feel what you feel so we can help” came the boring well rehearsed voice.

The boy sitting at the window sill made a soft grunt, as a gentle breeze blew by causing the shining silver hair to flutter. Riku turned showing a stern face with eyes covered by a think strap of leather tied securely around his head. His slim silver brows furrowed together before he bent his head hiding behind a curtain of hair.

“I don’t get why you guys always want me to talk. All that ever comes outta my mouth is nothing but shit. I know you don’t care and the only reason you wanna help is because you want to get your greedy little hands in my wallet” Riku said coldly as he lifted his hand to seemingly scratch an itch at his nose.

“I genuinely want to help you Riku if you would let me. I know I can help people with your…uniqueness.” The doctor said choosing his words carefully.

Riku chuckled “Tell me…how long have you been doing this sort of work?”

“Well over 5 years” the doctor answered matter of factly.

“Oh...No I think it’s more around…2 years.” Riku replied with an evil little smirk. “About the same time you started to cheat on your wife and I know you don’t care about me, your mind says it clearly, all you care about is getting paid because my father is the richest client you’ve had in years.”

The doctor blushed several shades of red before he spoke in a very tense and edgy voice “I was told that you would be suppressed.”

“What’s wrong? are you scared now, are you scared because you can’t do anything to keep me from reading your mind?” Riku snarled, he lifted his head and the doctor saw a gleam of sea green that sent shivers down his spine. Riku smirked as he lifted his head completely and the blindfold fell to the floor silently.

Around them the furniture began to float before it suddenly began to burst sending shards of wood and metal spraying out. The doctor let out a cry as he scrambled for his phone shakily dialing a number. “Help…please…” he was all he could shout into the receiver before it too met the same fate as the other objects in the room.

In the middle of the chaos Riku stood calmly as he focused in on the doctor, he was presented with various flashes from different points in the mans life. He saw every thing from when the doctor had taken his first steps to when he got his first kiss, nothing was hidden from him.

Riku was what some would call a psychic, one with powers that lay in the mind. His abilities were simple yet destructive. He could see into a persons mind and read their thoughts as if it were a book, he could see everything about that person. He had the ability to make a person go mad and he could ensue a sort of mind control over them and turn them into his slaves. However Riku’s most favorite ability was telekinesis, he could move objects, and at times make them explode in the air like bombs.

The one down fall to his seemingly godlike powers was the fact that he had no control over them. He couldn’t stop hearing people’s thoughts and it would over whelm him. Because of his inability to control what he felt or heard his powers would go out of control, hurting people he didn’t want to hurt. He had no control and was forced to be bound by a single hated strap of leather that suppressed everything and made his life bearable. Riku locked his heart and soul, away into a place were no one would ever find it.

All his life he dealt with being hated for what he was, for being different from everyone else. He had to be put under special care, he was feared, but worst of all he was alone.

His father paid for the best of help he could get for Riku, but the one thing that he wanted the most would never be given to him. Riku wanted a friend , someone who he could talk to about things…someone who wasn’t afraid of him.

The door burst open suddenly and a man with shaggy brown hair and stormy colored eyes came in. Following him was another boy who looked about the same age as Riku. The man locked eyes with Riku and attempted to shut off his powers. Riku almost laughed, there was no one who could do that, any who had tried to suppress his powers using their own had met a nasty fate. The only way to stop him was to get that leather on his eyes…but the chances of anyone getting close enough to do that was slim. Plus, Riku smirked , he was having fun.

Out of no where Riku felt an enormous amount of power shoot at him, he looked up to see a pair of glowing sea blue eyes. The eyes were calm and gentle and at the same time friendly.

/I promise I’m not going to hurt you ….but I need to stop you/ said a voice in his head. Riku raised an eyebrow; he never met anyone who could break through his mind shields before. / by the way…my name is Sora…/

\ you honestly think you can stop me? \ Riku sneered back.

The other boy smiled at him before Riku felt the world begin to darken, he could feel the material of his leather strap coming over his eyes, and the last thing he saw was the friendly eyes of the other boy, who at the moment he both hated and was interested in talking to.

/Dark…

Pain….

So dark …

I’m alone….all alone…/

Voices..

“I don’t pay you good money for you to do nothing for him!”

/My fathers voice…/

“But sir, we did not know that he would rebel like that and purposely take off his mask”

/The doctor…he sounds scared…/

“This why you are working with him is it not! It’s your damn job to make sure that something like this doesn’t happen!”

/You think they could shout any louder…/

“Yes I understand”

/Humph…that’s a load of shit…../

“What would you have done if Squall and Sora had not come?”

/Who/

“Squall admitted to having difficulty stopping him…He’s getting stronger…and more in control…he was able to focus in on his target better and he was the one to call up his powers in the first place” said the doctor, his voice taking a panicked edge to it.

/Sora…the kid with the nice eyes….he stopped me…/

“Which is why I’m going to go through with my original plan….I’ve had enough of your stupid methods…”

/What plan…why are they talking about me like I’m an object/

“I don’t recommend it….but if that is your wish then so be it….it’s your funeral…That school will turn him into a tool”

“I’m only doing what I know is better for him..”

The sound of a door slamming marked the end of his father’s conversation with the doctor. His father gave a loud sigh before he walked out of the room as shutting the door with a snap.

Riku laid there staring into nothingness contemplating what his father and the doctor had said. The silver haired teen sat up slowly still seeing nothing , he growled softly curing his fate over and over again , only wishing that he could join other people , only wishing that he wasn’t born with a cursed gift that made everything he touched die and scare the few that had ever dared to get near away.

Placing his feet on the floor Riku stood up smoothly and walked toward the door having memorized his fathers office. He wanted to know who Sora was...and what was going to become of him...
