Darkest Demons

Erik was pretty tired off his power, yes he knew it made him special and yes he loved island. He felt like he belonged on the island. However the constant struggle with his power was what was killing him. It seemed to be all find and dandy, he could blend into the crowd of normal humans until his power went all wonky. How else was he supposed to explain the flickering lights, the cars that start themselves? Not to mention another letter returned unopened from his parents. He just wanted to shut his brain off. He had only taken something to take the edge off, only it never really stayed that way. He always had to go a little further, and it wasn't such a bad thing if he wasn't wandering the city.

He was teetering on the edge of an incredibly high and the point where he knew he was almost there. He could see clearly and he was still thinking, but his thoughts were starting to get hazy. That's what he wanted, for the constant grid map to go away. For the buzzing and static to become soft background noise. He was lost in his thought as he walked through the streets not even realizing he had turned down a dead ended alley. By then he had gotten to the point where he didn't really care. He pulled up a crate and set it a little ways from a girl he saw and sat down, pulling out his lighter. He just need a little more to reach that point of bliss mind numbing, euphoric bliss.

@"Evelyn Pierce"

Erik looked up when he heard the voice, something keeping him from getting the spoon out again. With her there she would probably either ask him to share or like...tell him to stop. Instead he reached into his pocket to get the little package of pills that he had bought from Cabel earlier that day. He hadn't taken them because he was told they were really strong. He was still trying to figure out what he wanted and liked.

"Yeah, you can say that." He said as he slipped the pills out the package and the popped them into his mouth. The euphoria hit almost instantaneously and the power grid was gone, no random text appearing in front of him from the city people going about his business. Instead of the static and buzzing it was just silence, mind numbing silence. He could still hear his own breathing, but the colors, they were best thing and not a single shade of green to ruin his parade.

"Names Erik" He said quietly, amazed at the sound of his own voice, it sounded so much clearer when the static wasn't in the way. He was getting the feeling that he had seen the girl around somewhere and he wanted to know why.

"Oh, that must suck. It feels like i've been having bad days forever." Erik said, his voice coming out slowly and softly. He had no idea why he was being so quiet, like it didn't even cross his mind that he should probably speak up. He was getting too excited about the clarity from the usually chaos in his mind. He caught her name and her thought for a moment before he offered her a bright smile

"Azeria, is such a beautiful name. I don't know if I could shorten it to Azzy, seems like an injustice." He meant what he said, as cheesy as it sounded. He had been on the island for a while now and no matter how many people he met he was still amazed at the fact they weren't scared of him. It was probably because he had grown up used to it.

"Deal" He said without thinking, he knew that he shouldn't mix drugs but he was down for forgetting about everything. He didn't even want to remember his own name. It was kinda of funny, it's not like his name was even that big of deal. He held out the package that the pills came in, to allow the girl take them.

Erik took the invasion and took the hit, the weird feeling that came with a new drug hit him like a freight train. It didn't help that his mind was working over time to try and find clarity even in the drug haze. Which was why Erik had to try harder to get himself higher and higher. He was glad that he had found Azeria, she seemed to have the good stuff.

He tilted his head at the offer, it registered the way a intercepted call would. No one had ever said words like that to him, and they sounded better than anything anyone had ever said to him. There was a small part of him that knew his parents saying I love you and meaning it were the best words that he ever heard, but he didn't want to think about that. He was happy to drown those words out to focus on getting high enough to cross over.

"lead the way Azeria"
