Chapter one: Part one
Unyielding faith


Panting lightly I ran towards the court house. The city scenery flashed
past as I ran my attention focused solely on the tall building in the
centre of the city. With every step I took my anger grew and as my anger
grew I ran faster and faster.


I reached the court house and saw the two heavy set iron doors at the front
of the building were heavily guarded with the buildings security, equip
with black batons, and what looked like tasers. The iron doors were locked
as I knew they would be. My breaths deepened and my heart beat faster as I
knew who would be inside and what might be being done to him. I was hoping
against hope that I wasn't to late.


My speed slowed until I was walking almost calmly but it was clear that
behind each step was unfathomable anger. The guards recognised me and gave
a cry to stop me, batons raised they rushed towards me . They were easily
dispatched but by now my anger had increased beyond comprehension and as I
faced the doors I gritted my teeth and commanded "OPEN".


The doors not only opened but were blasted into the air at the power I
willed behind my words and flew to the sides of the hall. Every face in the
crowded hall turned to face me with shocked looks on their faces. There
were no guards in the hall I noticed and a word came to describe the people
who were in charge. `Arrogant'.


The council made up of three judges at the far end of the hall their raised
seats facing the doorway I was standing just inside of, were looking at me
with anger and disbelief written on their faces. The judge sitting on the
middle and highest seat, the council ruler cried out "what is the meaning
of this?". I ignored him.


 It took all of a few seconds for me to take this in until my attention
settled on why I had come. Alex. He was clothed in dirty rags and chained
to a chair, bolted to the floor in front of the three judges, his head was
slightly lowered towards the floor as if he was ashamed. I could have wept
seeing him again after so long but the relief of seeing him prevented me
from thinking anything other than `He's still alive'.


Then as it registered that he was in dirty rags and chained like an animal
and the anger came back fiercer than ever. I strode angrily towards him and
willed the chains to release and they did. He didn't move and I knew
something was wrong. "What have you done!?!?" I yelled, fury written all
over my face. "N...nothing. We have not done anything" the head judge
stuttered.


"Liar!!!" I screamed. "What have you done to Alex?" I shouted again.  "I
told..." The head judge started to say.  "Shut up" I interrupted him and
his mouth closed with a snap. I walked around Alex and saw that his nose
had been bloodied and he looked barely conscious. "Hey baby.. I'm here
love, I'm here now everything's going to be ok" I whispered and carefully
took him in my arms and lifted him up, at the same time willing him lighter
to ease his pain.


 I looked at the judges with such hate and anger that it looked as if they
had stopped breathing. I turned and gave the same look to the crowd of
people sitting in the hall, on the rows of benches like you would see in a
church and it had the same effect. I started walking towards the door and
decided to release a bit of my pent up anger.


As I walked each of the high windows that lined the walls just under the
ceiling exploded inwards.  The crowd shouted in fear and disbelief. The
people who were closest to me flinched back on the benches in fear their
eyes averted but the ones who were brave enough could see the feral smile I
had on my face that didn't come near my eyes found that they suddenly
couldn't control their bladder muscles.


Relief washed over me after I exited the court houses my Alex was finally
safe. I suddenly had a flashback to when I first lost Alex. It was two
weeks ago and we were out walking by the lake in the new city park, we were
holding hands as we were sure there was no one near and if was near they
couldn't really do anything about it.


The conversation we were having was about if we should move out of the
country. I was arguing for it because of the way we were being treated
because of our relationship but Alex was saying that it was only a few
people and we shouldn't generalize and that most people were actually nice.


I was thinking they were only nice until they new about us but didn't say
anything lest it hurt his feelings as he was talking quite passionately
about staying. Sighing I had said "`Fine we can wait another couple of
months until we decide on anything okay?"' Alex had leaned over and kissed
me.


That was when everything had gone wrong. Five men in police uniform burst
out of the trees and told us we were under arrest. I had told Alex to run
and started to pull him by the hand. He was moving robotically as if his
mind couldn't keep up with the shock of what was happening.

He had finally regained his senses and started to move properly but it was
to late as one of the men had grabbed him and had a pair of rusty handcuffs
around Alex's left wrist. "`RUN SEAN"' Alex had screamed and then started
to punch and kick at the men. I had hesitated and shouted "`But.."' "`SEAN
JUST RUN''' Alex screamed again and I had ran, and ran and ran until I
couldn't breathe and I kept on running until my legs wouldn't let me run
anymore.


Then the flashback ended and I was back outside the court house holding
Alex in my arms

After leaving the court house I turned south still holding Alex. Looking
around I saw that people were starting to gather to see what had happening
and after they found out they would gossip. Gossip and blow everything out
of proportion.


Then the story would spread from town to town until it reached the next
city. It was human nature. `I had better leave fast' I thought. I started
to walk towards the edge of the city but had to stop because Alex was
beginning to mumble in pain. "Don't worry babe you're safe, they can't hurt
you now" I whispered soothingly as I kissed his forehead tenderly. I
frowned when he continued to mumble in pain and decided he could do without
consciously feeling the pain. "Sleep now my love and forget the pain" I
muttered and he ceased to move, falling into a deep sleep.


Now that Alex wouldn't be able to feel what was going on around him I
started to pick up the pace and soon I was running at top speed towards the
edge of the city or commonly known to the middle and upper classes as`The
Slums' but it was really just a cluster of mostly abandoned town houses and
warehouses that were less than `perfect'.


`I hope I can find a place for us to sleep tonight and we might be able to
stay there for the rest of the week if the story doesn't spread too fast' I
thought but I new it was wishful thinking. It was beginning to get dark as
I reached the cities edge and the was hardly anybody about except for the
occasional beggar lining the broken and potholed road.


I was getting anxious to get a roof over Alex's head so I could lay him
down and have a look at him. I sent my mind searching and found a few
nearby houses that had no current occupants, choosing the closest empty
house I started towards it my mind now searching for signs of danger.


Arriving at the house I grimaced at the state the one story house was in
then sighed as it would discourage the homeless from taking refuge here,
the walls had moss growing out of them and on the left side of the roof the
rafters were showing and the windows and door were boarded up with wooden
sheets.

I willed the wooden sheet to push away from the door and I entered the
house and took in the layout. It was all one room with a broken fireplace,
a couch, no toilet, the room was partially burnt and there was an odd odour
that I couldn't place.


 It looked as if I was to sleep on the floor as Alex would take up the
couch. Laying Alex on the couch I placed my hands on his chest and sent my
mind into his body searching for any injuries. Ten minutes later I pulled
my mind out of his body and I found that my anger had come back and was out
to kill.
