“If I had a flower for every time I think of u, I could walk forever in my garden!“

Man needs what is most evil in him to achieve what is best in him

I was sitting in my room, alone like always. One, two, three… The only sound I could hear, was the sound of my beating heart. Tic Tac, Tic Tac… The clock on the wall beats like he’s going to die, he beats like there’s no tomorrow. I’m nineteen years old and I’m still alone, I never felt love and I never had really friends. I’m alone and I haven’t complain about it. I don’t need friends, I don’t need humans around me. Humans are pitiful and hypocrites, seeking only to obtain more and more. Greedy creatures and unfortunately I’m one of them. I hate myself for this, but this is what I was and I’ll always be like this. I stand up, letting the warm embrace of my sheets, getting close to the desk, under the window. I step on a book, Num3ers by Rachel Ward. Why is this book here? I sure that I place it back at her place after I read it. My room was a mess, something must have happened last night. I got downstairs and I hear my parents arguing again. What was this time? Mom cheating on dad? Dad drinking his salary? I fucking hate them. I wish I could go somewhere far, far away.

“What are you looking at, you little fuck!” she screams throwing a water glass at me.

“Nothing, I just need some food! I have school today! If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be on my way.” I told her trying to reach the fridge.

Dad grab my hand and throws me away. My back hits the wall behind me. It hurts a lot. I look at those two. A drunkard and a slut, they deserve one another. I stand up and try to leave the house. The bastard grabs my shoulder and force me to look into his eyes. They were sparkling from the alcohol. I try to escape, but him hits my forehead, with his head and hits me with the knee in the stomach. I can’t breath. I fall down on my knees holding my abdomen with my arms. He backs away and starts laughing.

“This what you deserve, you useless piece of shit! I wished you were never been born!”

“You stupid drunkard, I hope that slut you call wife, gives you SIDA!”“What did you said? You ungrateful punk!” Dad throws his fist towards me, but he stop right before he hits me. Everything

stopped. The time, my parents, the water flowing from the sink. A complete darkness surrounded me.

“Do you hate them? Do you want to see them dead?” a scary, demonical echoes from that darkness.

“I do, I wanna see them dead!” A young boy appears before me. He had long black hair with a few red stripes. He

had a big grin on his face. “My name is Mephistoles and I’m one of the Devil’s contractors!” He says staring

at me with those emerald eyes. “I here to make a deal with you! I’ll give you power in exchange to something insignificant!”

“What power I get? And I suppose I have to give you my soul, right?“Yes, you have to get your soul when you die and I don’t know what power you’ll

get! Do you accept?”

“So, my option are these: I obtain a random power in exchange for my soul and I escape from those bastards or I’ll wait a few years, endure them and move on my own!”

“How about this, after you’ll get your power I’ll give you a change to escape, it’s ok like this?”

“Ok, I’ll accept your deal” Mephistoles approaches me, touching my forehead and he vanished. Everything

was back to normal. Time restarted. Dad fist hits me, breaking my nose. I was lying down the floor, trying to stop my nose bleed. I feel cold, really cold, like my body was freezing inside out and yet it was good, I love that feeling. The feeling of cold inside my. I was relaxing and refreshing. I was angry, so angry that the ice exist my body completely freezing that bastard drunkard. I stood up and look at him. He was staying in front of me, being an ice statue. I could decide what do to with him, his life was in my hands.

“Monster! What have you done, monster?” she yells at me.I look at her. She was standing right in front of a mirror. My reflection, I, was

different. My dark hair was now white like the snow and my black eyes were blue as the brightest sapphire. This was it, my power? The power to control ice? I’m The Ice King, I love it! It suits my cold heart.

“You fucking monster, die!” this time while she was yelling at me, she attacked me with a knife.

I wasn’t prepared for her attack and I was sure I was going to die, but something happen. An ice barrier surrounded me, protecting me from her knife. When the knife hit the barrier, she explode, freezing everything around us. I was alone, in the middle of an ice room and two frozen bastards. I must leave this place, before cops gets here. I run back into my room and grab my back pack, putting some clothes in it. I run outside the house, but cops where already here.

“Stop right there, who are you?” Who I am? Good question, who the fuck I am? I’m no longer Friedrich Mercury,

he is dead. I need a new name, a new identity, a name suitable for a king and I know the perfect name.

“My name is Matthew Moonglass and I’m The Ice King! I’ll suggest you all to back away slowly or you will regret it” I told them, but they wouldn’t listen, so I have to do it.

I focused a few seconds, closing my eyes. I could feel the ice moving threw my veins straight from my heart. I stretch my left arm towards them and yelled at them again “Please leave if any of you want to see their children again”

“Get on the ground with your hands behind your back!”They weren’t listening me, I had no choice. I open my palm and send an ice wave

towards them. In seconds they were frozen, humans and cars. I loved that feeling, power, domination. I was a king and every living creature was my toy and the world was my playground. I walk towards them, passing through those frozen corpses.

“This what you deserve! I’ve told you guys to back away, but no, you didn’t listen!”

I kept walking like nothing happen. I haven’t felt remorse or mercy for them. My heart was frozen, my breath was cold. I felt barren and yet I was happy. Seeing all this humans lives ending right in front of my eyes, by my own hands made me feel almighty,

but I had to vanish. I can’t remain here. I must run away, hide for eternity. I started running letting iced steps behind me. Where was I running? Or better said, why am I running? I can’t stop, my legs won’t stop running. I ran and ran, freezing everything in my path. Nothing and nobody was save, I’ve lost control, but why? I haven’t had this problem a few minutes ago, why now?

“Mephistoles, you tricked me!” “No, I haven’t” he says appearing right behind me. “Then, why I can’t control myself? Tell me!” “It’s your own fault! You can’t control your feelings” “You knew this would happen, didn’t you?”“Yes, I knew, but you signed the contract! You are mine now, punk!”Mephistoles vanishes, leaving me alone. Throwing ice from all over my body,

bringing death and destruction. I never wanted this. I’m alone. I’ve lost everything I’ve ever had or will have. I can no longer stay close to humanity, close to those who deserve to be kept close. I’m alone and I’ll ever be like this. I ran away from the city, hiding in the wood nearby the city, where I created an ice castle. A place just for me, where I could learn to control my powers. Trees, flowers and animals, soon enough were frozen. Finally, after a few years I collapsed, the last trace of control I had over me vanished. Around the wood a thick ice wall appeared and inside, snow storms were consuming every single live form remained alive.

“Long time no see, Matthew Moonglass! How, you’ve been?”This voice was so familiar, I’ve heard it somewhere before. Mephistoles! What

this bastard wants from me now. He already fucked my life, what could he possibly desire more? I haven’t turned at him, I kept looking straight in my ice mirror. I haven’t aged a bit although almost ten years have passed.

“What do you want Mephistoles?”“Why do you think I want something?”“Cut the craps or I’ll frozen you to death! What the fuck do you want?”“Well…I’ve made a contract with a girl recently and she kind of turned into a

vampire. “ “And? What that has to do with me?”“You see, you’ve turned this forest in one of the darkest places on Earth!

Vampires need darkness, right? I was hoping you could let her stay here! Of course I’ll give you something in return.”

“What would I get if I let your vampire stay in my castle?”“I give you the power to observe outsiders! Is good enough for you?” “Ok, I accept! Bring her in!” “Adele please come here, Matthew will let you stay here! Let me make the

introductions…”“Yo! I’m Matthew Moonglass and you are?”“Adele Le Boursier!” she replayed with a sweat voice. “I’ll leave you two alone! Good bye!” That bastard vanished again, but at least this time, I wasn’t alone! “Do you desire something?” I ask trying to be polite.“Nope! We’re is my room?” She said looking all over the place. “Do you wanna feed or something?”

Page 3 of 7

“Nope, I just want to go in my room!” I stare at her long, curly brown hair and her white, pale skin. She was like a

marble statue and yet she was alive, breathing, moving and speaking. I move my hand into thin air and I created an ice wolf.

“Please follow him!” I watched her while she was following my wolf. Her long dress was sweeping the

floor. At the very end, I’m still alone. I hoped I can break through her soul protection and reach her, in time. Till then I should check my new ability. Wait…How the fuck is this shit works? A strong light appears in the room while I was busting my ass trying to discover how to activate my new power.

“My name is Michael and I want to speak with you!” “Could you please shut the fuck up? I’m trying to use my new power and tell me

how the fuck did you get in here? This place is impenetrable, for shits like you!”“Like I said, my name is Michael and I want to ask you a few questions!” I turn towards this Michael. He was a tall, skinny guy. His blonde hair was tight

in a ponytail and his sky blue eyes were looking with mercy at me. “Tell me something, why did you accept Mephistoles questions?” “Leave this place now or I’ll stain your white suit with blood!”“Why you hide here?”“Could you please leave?”That sweat, lovely voice, was…Adele. What she’s doing here? I thought she’s

gonna stay in her room. “Vampire, please leave and don’t interfere!”“Hey, don’t tell her what do to! You better leave this fucking place or I’ll turn you

into an ice statue!” He said nothing, just stared at me, smiling. Two white wings emerged from his

back, covering him and with a strong light he vanishes. I remained staring at Adele.

Chapter 2:

Two days have pass since that freak Michael show this ugly face around. I haven’t seen Adele since then either. She is so mysterious. I really hoped her arrival here would have destroy my loneliness, but it chanced nothing. And here I am, alone, playing with my new power. The world is so boring. This humans are so boring, full with hypocrites and greediness. I should…

“Help me! Please help me!” A young woman was assaulted by ten guys. She was in real danger, I wish I could

do something to help her, but…I can’t leave this place. I’ll freeze everything, I’ll cause more harm than good.

“What’s going on?” “Some idiots are attacking a girl!”“Are you hungry? Don’t you wanna feed?”“I’m kind of hungry, but…The only food source here is you!”“How about those those failed abortions? You could eat them?” I told her

pointing towards the ice mirror. “No, I can’t, because the sun is out! I am a vampire, vampires can’t stay in the sun

light!” Damn it, that woman will die, if I don’t do something! But what? What the fuck

can I do? If I leave this place, I’ll end up hurting that woman as well.“Adele, wait!” My voice reached her, right before she could leave the room.“What? I’ve told you, I can’t help that woman!”“You said you can’t go in the sun light, right? But what if I use my ice to create a

shield to stop the sun light from touching your body, would that work?” “Can you even sustain your ice that far?” “I’ve got no idea! Let’s see what my maximum range is!” I create an ice wolf and send it to the outer world. Adele approached me and close

her eyes, heavy exhaling. “Come on, let’s see how far you can sustain your ice!” she said supporting her

body on one of the walls. I approached the fountain I built specially for watching the outer world. An ice

water ball raised up about 50 cm above ground level. I touched the ice surface, creating concentric circles. The wolf I’ve created appeared right before our eyes. Watching him run, faster and faster, further and further, till he suddenly melted, vanishing from this Earth.

“Four kilometers after he exist your ice kingdom! Are you trying to kill me, you bastard?”

“No, no, no! I swear I thought I could sustain it! Please forgive me!”“Nope!”“Please, forgive me! I’m so, so sorry!”“Nope!” “I understand and I hope you’ll forgive me soon enough, I really didn’t knew!

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I want to save that woman.”

I leaving the room, with Adele still being in there. I truly regret the fact that I was about to turn her into ash and I hope she’ll find in her soul to forgive me, someday, but now, I must save that girl. For the first time in ten years I was leaving the castle. More than this, I was about to leave my ice kingdom. I’m a little afraid, I could hurt someone, but if I don’t go an innocent person might die. I rise my left concentrating, imaging what I wanted to create, a beautiful ice wolf. I imaged his form, his height, his weight and even the color of his eyes. When I opened my eyes, he was right in front of me. I approached him and climb his back.

“Let’s go mate! Let’s save that woman!” “Awhoo!” The wolf howls and starts running as fast as he could. As we pressed

forward the ice storm was creating a path, a corridor for our safe passage. Soon after we started running, we were in front of a giant ice wall. I never saw something as enormous as this.

“Now, mate, you’ve got some ideas, about how the fuck we get pass this wall?”He stares at me and move his head left-right. “Thought so, come on let’s see if my powers can’t move it” We approached the wall and I touch it with my hand. “Please open and let us

pass!” and something amazing happened, or that’s what I wished. In reality nothing happened, the wall was move an inch. I should try again. I touch the wall again and try to move it. I concentrate even harder. I feel a minor headache that grew and grew, till it become unbearable. Something weird happen, a strong light emerged in the shape of a door. “Open!” I shouted pushing the wall once more. It opened. I turned towards the wolf and watch at him surprised, waiting for him to explain me.

“Your nose is bleeding!” He was right, the red liquid was falling down my nose. With the wall opened, I

could go save that girl. I mount my wolf again and we start running towards the town.

“So…do I get a name?” “Sure, I’ll call you…Terry?!”“You really are lame when it comes picking names, aren’t ya?”“Shut up and run!” He remained silence and kept running, he was incredibly fast. We reached town in

a matter of seconds. I just hope that girl is still alright and she was, thank God. Those bastard stripe her of her clothes, trying to rape her.

“Let her go, now!”They stopped, staring at me. They seemed surprised, after all, who wouldn’t? My

hair was white as snow and my ice were blue like the sapphire. One of them, a tall guy, came at me with a knife. He laughed and tried to kill me, but the knife froze before I was touched. They remained blocked, trembling in fear.

“Ice shard!” Ice spears appear all around me. Those guys were scared.“We’re sorry, please let us go! We…”I haven’t allow them to finish talking. My ice shards pierced their bodies. I

approached the woman and touched her. An electric impulse crossed my body. I was losing consciousness

“Hello Matt!”

What’s going on? How is this possible? I was back in my ice castle, in the throne room. Right before my eyes she was standing, Medeea Wiwern , in all her beauty. Her long, curly, dark hair was fading in that black and red open back cutout dress.

“Medeea, what are you doing here?” I’m asking her, while she was approaching me, stepping slowly, melting the ice around her.

What’s going on? Why do I know her name? Why am I here? I’m trying to say something but my mouth won’t opened, it was like I was just a simple spectator. I was in my body, but I could do a single damn thing, just watch what was happening. She touched my shoulder with her finger, approaching my ear. She blew hot air, making me feel cozy and warm. I grabbed her hand pulling her onto my lap, kissing her back. My lips were sizzling when I touched her back. She tried to escape, but I grabbed both of her hands and I pull her hair. Her head was leaned back, allowing me to easily kiss her neck. She was struggling to escape. I released her hair and her hands, but I grabbed her shoulders turning her towards me. Now, I was staring straight in her bight beautiful brown eyes. She bit her hot fleshy lips, turning her head away. She was so beautiful and innocent, I was mesmerized by her. I blew my cold breath towards her. When the cold iced air touched her breast melted, turning into water beads. I grabbed her into my arms, her hand touched my chest and I could feel the warmth of her fire. She smiled and once more she approached my ear, whispering:

“Sorry Matt, you have to die!” While she said that, her fire pierced my body, going straight through my heart. “I’m sorry!” she continued, kissing my forehead.

I was dying, she killed me…“Matt, wake up!” I voice yelled in my mind. It was a familiar voice, I’ve heard it

somewhere before. A sweet, yet distanced voice. “Wake up, damn it!” I feel an incredible pain, it was like I was hit by a truck or a train, no…maybe a meteorite. I opened my eyes and I saw her face, Adele’s face. What’s she doing here?

“Adele, I thought, you can’t stay in the sun light? Oh, wait...Medeea, where is Medeea. She killed me!”

“Who’s Medeea? What are you mumbling about? Are you a retarded? Gabriel brought you here unconscious!”

“Gabriel?! Who’s Gabriel?”

Chapter 3:

“I’m Gabriel” I’ve heard a voice, for the others side of the room. A tall, skinny man, dressed with some jeans and a letter jacket, was watching through the ice window. He was staying with his back at me, I could only see his black hair.

“My name is Matthew Moonglass and…” “He know- because this companion was the Devil and the Devil knows very well

the human souls and mind!” he said intr
