He walk a slow pace, only taking half steps and grumbling to himself,. He kicked the ground, angry at life. He walked to the center of the bridge and then looked into the water below. From what he had heard, many creatures, human and not had ended their lives on this bridge. Crumpling an old note in his hand hethough about his life. Was he really worth all the trouble he had been through or should he just jump, finish what his Father had started. He looked at the old note, it was from his supervisor at the police station.

WRITTEN- I know it is hard to understand why we have to let you go but your father is the burrows biggest supported and he has threatened to stop the support funds if we do not terminate your contract. As of this point, consider yourself UNEMPLOYED.-

You'd think that coming from a religious family meant that your parent forgive you for everything, unfortunately it is not always true. Telling your Father, who is a Very Religious Human rights activist that you are BI and that you believe all races should be equal is something he will never forgive you for, he might even go as far to ensure you have no job and are seen as an outcast.

Now, for a light mage, this may not be so bad, but Keegan couldn't care less about being a Mage if it ment not having a family. He was outcast and left for dead. Only bing 19 had its advantages but it was not a great situation for anyone to be in.

Well, this is it. If god has forgiven me, I will live and if he hasn't, well, congratulations Satan, one more Light Mage down One more you don't have to hunt yourself.

It's turned round expression, the points of it's mouth turned down stabbing into the hearts of others, hitting citizens with it's last minute tears.

"If this were only cleared away they said, it would be grand!"Chimed a bouncy blond who was obviously not affected by the weather. His shoes were tightly tied and his socks were hiked up high. His smile spread so bright and wide could almost be seen from every side. Dark blue jean clung to his legs, the bottoms were soaked from puddles clutching even more to his sculpted ankles. A red dog tag pinned in his ear displaying all his home info in case he got lost swung back and forth.

The blond pulled his red turtleneck sweater sleeves down to cover his cold pink knuckles. He bite his bottom lips and skipped large cracks in the sidewalk. while staring directly ahead. Noticing a bridge, the teen stirred himself to the found landmark.

He laughed skipping up the stones, gracing his fingers along the cold surface of the old railing. He looked and the view below, then turned to the standing view above. There, a boy around his own age, was perched on the bridge railing. He looked the boy over and smiled. The blond leaned on the railing next to the boy's feet, "If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year. Do you suppose," Asked the blond as he gently rubbed the back of the boy's legs from the back of his thighs down to his ankles, "That they could get it clear?"

The teen laughed quietly, "I'm Cleo," The blond laughed again and softly grasped a hand around the boy's fingers, "Why don't you come down from there. It'd be nice to chat with someone to ignore this sad monotone day? Hmmm?" A red formed slowly on the ivory skin cheeks of the teen as he fingered into the boy's belt loops with his other hand, "What do you say?"
