The Trinity
"In life there are heroes and villains, nothing in between and nothing more. I was raised a hero and slowly drifted into becoming a villain. This is the story i've kept from myself and now i retell it because...i must remember who i once was if i plan on ever succeeding in the future. In the beginning was Me and in the end...It'll be Me, Rafen"
-18 Years Ago-
"PUSH! PUSH!"
My first memory was a dark one, by dark one i mean i don't really remember it but i still remember the voices. It was a simple almost lame experience
"Your doing great honey"
I knew a feeling from right off the bat that, that was my father's voice. It had that tone that you feel safe around, plus you don't see much Newt Doctors calling their patients honey
"One more push!"
I heard the painful screams of my mother then i remember seeing that burst of light almost piercing to my eyes. It was normal for people who had abilities to have early birth memories. I mean it was normal for me
"He's out, Great job Mrs. Bowen"
I saw the man's face, covering his noise in a white protective shield and the nurse's around this man. I was given to my father. My father was different, he didn't have glasses or a warmly father feeling to him. He had spiky blond hair with a face that'll soon look exactly like Jonathan. The one i've come to...dislike. The very and only brother i could on relate to
"What shall we name him?"
I remember hearing my mother ask, My father's face had a smile on it
"Zamxus Rafen Bowen"
I was named after the God of Fear and Death. It's always good to name your children after a god that everyone hated. Their were 12 gods. I mean i'm not to much a fan of Zeus or Hades but names like Aeros or Apollo sounded better name Zamxus. I hated the name i was given and soon as i turned 14 i referred to myself as Rafen, I needed no last name. Rafen was simple, almost respectful and it was a name that soon a story amongst children, they shiver when they hear my name but...before i turned 14...i wasn't like i was now. I was different, i guess you could say i was...simply happy
-1 year later-
This was a year to remember, I was just a year old and my age progression was quick. I had the body and speaking abilities of a 4 year old. When on Newt the normal age of death was 65 and if you were like myself, Special then it would probably be around 100 but everyone who ever had an ability on earth or has come in contact with Impure or Green Planet have been killed or died mysteriously but i'll leave the juicy part for another time. It was the year 2009 and My dearest brother Jonathan Bowen was born
"Ra Ra"
It was my nickname my mother gave me. I knew this because i smiled every time i heard that name, My mother innocently looked at me while i gripped the toy in my hand, A small newt toy soldier.
"Your my little special soldier right?"
"Wa-ight"
"Your gonna have brother to share that specialty with..."
From this day i'm yet to know what that meant, i blew it off as Jonathan was going to be special as well. It didn't bother me than, I was 1 going on 2 extremely fast. I never knew what it was going to be like with a little brother in the house but when i turned 5 i never was going to know that feeling
-4 years later-
I was 5 years old, i had the body of a 7 year old and was as smart as a 10 year old. My abilities hadn't taken affect but i knew they were there, waiting and lingering waiting for the shield to weaken so it could break through. I don't remember to much about this day mainly cause i try to block it out from it's existences. I was in my room in my bed and i was sleeping when i heard yelling and arguing. My parents fought normally but it was a normal thing to do. I turned in my bed but the next thing i remember is being taken by my father arms and my mother crying
"Please...Not my boy, please"
"Martha, It has to be done!"
I remember being in my father's truck, the road were like ocean waves that night, I had no clue where i was going or what was going on, that's a frightening feeling to be afraid of your surroundings, to be perfectly safe with someone you love like my father but i've never been more afraid of him. Next thing i remember were the sounds of the oddly enough ocean, Newt had 3 oceans. The Green Psy, The Red Leaf and The Blue Sky. Each named after the color of the sight. The Green Psy had a calm, green feeling. The rain forest covered the ocean giving it a beautiful look, The Red Leaf was known for the fall leaves that would crush up and sink to the ocean floor giving it a red look. It was scary but beautiful as well and the Blue Sky was my favorite. The sky reflected on the ocean surface made it look like there was a sky on top (of course there was) and a sky on the bottom. I smelt the sea salt water and i knew it was at The Blue Sky. It was around 12 midnight and i was scared. My father thought i was sleeping but i was to afraid to close my eyes or runaway. If i was in danger and i needed to go..i wouldn't know where i just needed to run
"Bradley!"
I heard my mother's voice and the engine of her car arriving then cut off. I was saved i heard my father's walking toward my mother on the stone ground. I sat up and looked out the window
"He's just a child, you don't know what's to become of him"
"Martha, Impure didn't work on him. You noticed how he's aging faster or how he's smarter than what he's age should be. Impure had a reverse affect on him. Zamxus is going to be corrupted by this and i can't let him bring the company down"
"So your gonna kill our son? What about Jonathan huh? When he turns 5 will it be his turn to head to the chopping block?"
"Jonathan is still a baby, When Zam was his age he was already speaking. Johnny isn't"
I was some kind of newt human that aged rapidly but that was what i was meant to believe. I was dying by what my parent put into me. I was aging but as i aged i grew more knowledge. Newt aged quick as well i guess i aged faster
"Your putting Green Planet before your family, How can you do such a terrible thing? I knew this life was to good to be perfect. In our Trinity days i loved you with all my heart and now...i hate you, i hate you for what your putting me through, through our family. How can you do this? You..You monster!"
What i remember next was the only part i ever wanted to block out. I heard the shot ring out then another and another then i saw my mother' Her face in shock, i prayed that being caught off guard ignored the pain. I saw her drop to her knees and fall on the ground. I knew my father was the villain in my life. I needed to react quick or i knew i was next. I saw my father look at me, i opened the car door, the one away from him and ran for my life. The rocky ground gave a way where i was. I heard him following me. In front of me was dark road that was impossible to see in
"RAFEN!...ZAMXUS...RAFEN!...RAFEN GET BACK HERE NOW!"
That night he called me Zamxus, I felt Zamxus died with my mother, He called me Rafen and i would call myself that to remind myself of my orgins. I ran into the darkness accepting it when i heard my father stop chasing me. I stopped and turned around, i saw my father but my father couldn't see me. I would see his head wonder near the darkness down the dark street but he never saw me. He raised his gun and let the round of bullet fly at me. He shot my mother three times and his round held 9 bullets. so there were 6 bullets left in the chamber. One passed by my ear, the ringing hurt. 2 past gently near my legs and the final three were perfect. One hit my arm, the other my chest and one my shoulder. I hit the ground, feeling the blood rush out me. I heard him run off. I felt the life exit me
"Please..."
I called out but it was a whisper, i couldn't get the strength to clear my throat. I called out again
"Please...i don't...i don't wanna die...please"
I felt something grab my hand, it was cold, it slithered on me like water was being drained on my hands. I saw a white light in front of me back then i never knew what it was but i know now it wasn't the gods no...it was my father making sure he got the job done. I felt this unknown substance take me
"Please...save me"
Then that's when it happened, i felt something in me click, i felt my wounds heal themselves which was odd, i felt the knowledge i knew grown more but i could also feel something else. It was a sadness feeling, i knew that cause i could hear crying. I sat up and felt my wounds and they were gone. I stood up and run off, My father never found me that night, my mother's death haunted me and i knew it was just time before Jonathan was next and i couldn't let him suffer what i've suffered. I ran off that night and headed home to find my brother and protect him from what was coming
