Awakening (Spellcasters)

==Plot==
[A blazing fire was seen destroying a forest landscape.Creatures are flying in the orange night sky. A boy is seen running, his robe attire torn and shredded. The fire expands cutting him off from running any further. He stops and turns around to see two creatures land. One carrying an older boy holding a trident in one hand and a beat up body in the other. The other creature had a woman holding onto an older woman tied up. The older boy starts laughing as he takes his trident and swings at the body cutting it’s head right off.]
Boy: “Noooooo!”
[Suddenly the boy wakes up in a bed covered in sweat. His hair much messier and shaggier than the dream, his green streak covering some of his forehead. He looks around reading the clock on his nightstand to be 5:34am. He wipes the sweat off his face and lays back down staring at the ceiling above him. He sighs getting up from his bed going into the bathroom. He turns on the sink and splashes cold water in his face.]
Boy: “These Nightmares are getting worse and worse.”
[The boy starts up a shower as he gets in and starts to clean himself. The warm water hitting his skin sends him back into another nightmare. This time a little bit after the events of the last one. The boy is seen crying over two nearly dead bodies as the older boy flies away laughing at him. Suddenly, the boy is pushed into a portal that was opened up by the dying older woman. This sends the boy back into reality. The boy shook it off and gets out of the shower drying himself off. There was a knock at the door.]
Woman: “Logan, are you almost done in there? You’ve been in there nearly an hour, I hope you aren’t jacking off. Breakfast is ready, whenever you decide to join.”
Logan: “I’ll be down in a minute!”
[Logan dries himself off and gets dressed in a school uniform consisting of grey jeans, grey blazer, black button up, and a green tie. He combed as much of his hair as he could before giving up and heading upstairs to the kitchen. He sat down as the woman put a stack of pancakes on his plate.]
Logan: “Thank you, Mother.” 
[Logan ate his pancakes as the television spouted off the weather report. Logan’s mother was at the sink cleaning dishes. Logan finished his pancakes as he walked over cleaning off the dish before putting it in the dishwasher.]
Logan’s Mother: “Better get going to school. You don’t want to be late.”
[Logan went to the door grabbing his bag and putting on his green canvas shoes. He walked out the door and started waking for around thirty minutes. He finally arrived at a high school campus. He sighed as he walked in the front gates. He goes to a wall of lockers before putting in the combination to one of them. He opens it up as he prepares for a day of school. A girl walks over to him and leans against his locker.]
Girl: “Heya, Logan.”
Logan: “Hey Maria, what’s up?”
[Logan closes his locker looking over at Maria. She twirled her hair around as she looked at Logan with awe. Logan gives her an awkward look of confusion as he awaits her response.]
Maria: “I was wondering if you wanted to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with me this Friday.”
[Logan started to sweat. He had not realized his school was even holding a dance at all. He looked around to see no one was watching, so he assumed it was not a prank. He cleared his throat as he tried to muster up some excuse, but couldn’t think of one. He sighed as he held the back of his head with his hands.]
Logan: “Sure, Maria. That sounds nice.”
Maria: “Really!? Oh my god! I can’t wait.”
[Maria squealed as she hugged him and walked away. Logan scratched the back of his head in confusion. He figured it was nothing and would just be a one time thing. He headed off to his first class of the day. The day droned on and on until eight hours later, the bell finally rang giving the students the freedom. Logan walked his way home and as he entered his house he called out for his mother.]
Logan: “Mother?”
[Silence filled the house, but Logan brushed it off walking downstairs to the basement where he dropped his bag and face planted into his pillow. He turned over staring once again at the eggshell white ceiling. Logan got up and walked over to his radio putting in a CD. Music fills the room as Logan goes back to staring at the ceiling, zoning out.]
Unknown: “Logan! Logan!”
[Logan woke up to a woman shaking him wake. He was wearing robes and had shorter hair. He woke up startled at the sudden awakening. The woman rushed him to a door and urged him outside.]
Woman: “Hurry now, we must escape while we can.”
Logan: “Wh- what’s going on?”
Woman: “He is invading, Logan. We must run before he comes for us.”
[There was an explosion that could be heard. The woman grabbed Logan turning away from the door. She guided him towards the window opening it to see a fifty foot drop below them. She pushed Logan towards the window.]
Logan: “Are you crazy? I’m going to hurt my legs if i jump out that window.”
Woman: “Don’t worry, Logan. You need to relax. Subeunt et tutum.”
[Logan’s body started to hover as what seemed like gusts of wind safely floated him down the drop before landing him safely on the ground. He looks up at the window to see the woman float down herself and take Logan’s hand running into the forest as the scene transitions back to Logan’s bedroom. Logan wakes up to static on his radio and his clock reading 7:03pm. He gets up and walks up the stairs to his mother just finishing making dinner.]
Logan’s Mother: “Oh, you are finally awake. Wash up for dinner.”
[Logan went into the bathroom and washed his hands. In the mirror he noticed a cut on his neck. He grazed his fingers across it. Hecleaned it up and puts a band-aid over it before heading back to the dining room for dinner.]
Logan’s Mother: “So anything interesting happen at school today?”
Logan: “Maria asked me to the school dance.”
Logan’s Mother: “Oh really? And? Are you going to go with her?”
Logan: “I mean, I guess. Seemed kinda rude to say no to her. Not like I have anything better to do anyways.”
[Logan and his mother finished eating as Logan helped clean up.Logan went back down to the basement and started on his homework. Half an hour into his homework, his phone lights up. He sees a social media notification from Maria. Logan being curious to see if she was cancelling and opens up his phone to the app. He sees that it was just a picture he was tagged in explaining they were going together. Logan smirked as he set his phone down and finished up his homework. He got up walking over to his television and turned it on. He tunes into a movie as he goes upstairs grabbing some cookies and a glass of milk from the kitchen.]
Logan’s Mother: “What are you up to Logan?”
Logan: “Just grabbing some cookies. Currently watching a movie.”
Logan’s Mother: “Okay, just make sure you clean up after yourself.”
[Logan grabbed what he wanted and headed back down as he flopped onto his bed. As he starts chipping away at a cookie. The movie plays out as Logan slowly drifts to sleep as the scene transitions to him running in a jungle being led by a woman.]
Logan: “Where are you taking me? What is going on?”
[The woman ignored him as they heard the flapping of wings above them. Logan looked above to faintly make out what appeared to be dragons. Something dropped from the backs of one of them as it landed in front of Logan and the woman. The woman stood in between the being which appeared to be an older boy and Logan. The older boy reached behind his back and pulled out a trident.He threw it at them, but the woman tried blocking it. She managed to get most of it, but it went by and scratched Logan’s neck. The woman turned to Logan and pushed him away.]
Woman: “Go! run! I will hold him off as long as I can!”
[Logan started to sweat as he turned and ran. His sweat sparking as it hit the floor. Behind him he heard the screams of a woman. He sprinted faster as a fire started behind him. The fire rose in temperature and the flames rise until Logan wakes up in his room in a puddle of sweat. He sees the television still on and glances at his clock to see 3:42am. He moves out of bed as he steps in something yet. He turns on his lights to see a puddle of milk on the floor. Logan groans as he takes off his socks throwing them in the hamper.]
Logan: “Crap, this is going to be a bitch to get out. Oh well, best to not cry over spilt milk.”
[Logan cleans up his mess as he takes his cup to the dishwasher. He comes back downstairs and changes into pajamas. He lays back down in his bed and turns off the light drifting back into sleep. Logan wakes up to a gloomy Thursday morning. He grabs a raincoat before heading out the door to school. Once on campus, Logan goes to his locker and starts preparing for the day when suddenly his locker is slammed closed on his hand.]
Logan: “Ow, what the fuck dude!?!”
[Logan looks over to see a letterman wearing blonde jock holding his hand over Logan’s locker keeping his hand stuck. Logan shoved him out of the way with his free hand and is able to get his hand out of his locker.]
Logan: “What is your problem?”
Jock: “I’m looking at it.”
Logan: “Well kindly take your shit somewhere else.”
Jock: “So I heard Maria asked you out to the dance.”
Logan: “Yeah so?”
Jock: “Can’t believe you couldn’t ask her yourself and she had to ask you.”
Logan: “Are you kidding me? It’s a Sadie Hawkins Dance. That’s what's supposed to happen.”
[The jock grabs Logan and holds him against the lockers. He holds his fist near Logan’s face. Logan looked unfazed by this.]
Logan: “Really dude? What is this? A basic 80s high school movie?”
Jock: “Listen you little emo shit. I don’t know what my sister sees in you, but just know that if you hurt her. I will beat you.”
Logan: “That’s a death threat if I have ever heard one and it’s just a fucking dance. Cool your shit dude.”
[The jock slammed Logan into the lockers again, this time ticking off Logan. His eyes turn red as his skin starts to sweat.]
Logan: “Let go of me!”
[The jock dropped Logan as he held his warm hand. The jock flipped Logan the bird as he hurried away. Logan looked down to notice his puts had stains as his eyes turned back to their natural blue state.]
Logan: “The hell?”
[Logan looks around and quietly walks away as the scene transitions back to Logan’s bedroom. He inspects the cut on his neck and finds that it is all healed up. He then throws his sweat stained shirt in the hamper as he takes a deep breath. ]
Logan: “I need a mental break from all of this stupid ass drama.”
[Logan boots up his computer as he decides what game to play. He loads up a game as the scene transitions to the Friday night. Logan is seen getting ready in his school uniform.]
Logan: “Let’s get this night over with. What’s the worst that could happen?”
[Logan left his house soon arriving at his high school’s gymnasium. He waited outside for Maria. Maria soon showed with her brother and his date. Maria’s brother shot daggers at Logan who rolled his eyes at him. They walk into the gymnasium to see it decked out in decorations.There were tables to sit at, a food and drink station, a DJ, and a photo booth.]
Maria: “This is nice.”
Logan: “Yeah, they seem like decent decorations.”
[Logan and Maria found seats and claimed them before heading to the dance floor. They started to dance together to some random pop songs then Maria dragged them over to the photo booth for some pictures. In the picture booth, Maria kissed him on the cheek for one of their pictures causing Logan to sweat nervously. They exited and sat down for a bit to catch their breath.]
Maria: “Logan, are you okay? You are sweating like crazy.”
Logan: “Uh? Yeah…, yeah. Just kinda warm in here.”
[Logan takes off his grey blazer, setting it on his chair. He nervously smiles at Maria.]
Logan: “See? All already feeling better.”
[The DJ tapped the microphone getting the gymnasium’s attention. Logan and Maria looked over to listen to what he was about to say.]
DJ: “Hey, Hey, party people! It’s time for all of you to grab your dance partners because, now it’s time for the slow dance.”
[Maria smiled as she got up taking Logan’s hand and guiding him to the dance floor. She placed Logan’s hands in the correct positions as the music started. They slowly danced together as Maria places her head against Logan’s chest. Logan shyly smiled as the song started to close out. With the final note dropping in the room, Maria looks up at Logan and blushes. Logan awkwardly blushes back at her. Maria lifts her head up planting a kiss on Logan’s lips. Logan was shocked, but eventually kissed back. The kiss broke as they looked into each other’s eyes. The connection was slowly broken by Maria’s brother pushing them apart.]
Maria’s Brother: “What the hell, do you think you are doing with my sister?”
Logan: “Enjoying the dance?”
Maria’s Brother: “Really? It seemed like you were enjoying my sister’s face!”
Maria: “Duncan, stop! Leave him alone!”
Duncan: “Why? He’s just a delinquent.”
Maria: “He isn’t a delinquent! He’s my boyfriend!”
Duncan: “Maria, that’s enough, go wait in the car.”
Maria: “But I-”
Duncan: “I said go wait in the car!”
[Maria sheepishly waved goodbye to Logan as she cried walking out of the building. People began to look over to see why Maria was crying. Duncan took notice of this and smiled.]
Duncan: “So you think you can just break my sister’s heart like that?”
Logan: “Dude, that is not what happened.”
Duncan: “Really? That’s what it looks like. I see Maria run off crying and I come over and see you.”
Logan: “Dude, you are such a piece of shit you know that? Maria is going to have a hell of a life if you keep interfering with it.”
Duncan: “I am only protecting her from freaks like you!”
[Duncan swung at Logan who dodged out of the way. Duncan stumbled catching himself. Logan turned and started to walk away.]
Logan: “Fuck this. You aren’t worth the effort.”
[Duncan gets mad and waves over other jocks. The three jocks grab Logan while is back is turned. Logan struggles to break free.]
Logan: “Let go of me you assholes!”
Duncan: “No, I don’t think we will. I think you need to cool off with a nice cold shower. What do you think boys?”
[Duncan’s two friends cheered him on as they dragged Logan into the boys locker room. Logan continued to scream and struggle from the jocks’ grasp. They entered the locker room, as they held Logan’s body down. Duncan laughed as he turned on the ice cold water. The shower head shot out water hitting Logan in the face. Logan screams louder hoping someone would hear him.]
Duncan: “What’s wrong freak? You don’t like it when you cry? You seem to enjoy it when you make my sister cry.”
Logan: “You mean when you make her cry!”
Duncan: “Kick his ass.”
[The jocks let go off Logan who tried getting up to run, but was kicked in the back. He fell to the floor as the jocks hurled punch after punch, water still hitting his body with the punches. One of the jocks gave Logan a black eye. Duncan called his friends off of Logan. Logan weakly stood up only to be kicked down by Duncan who dragged his body over to the toilets.]
Duncan: “I think it's time we flushed this piece of crap down the toilet.”
[Duncan shoved Logan's head into the toilet and proceeded to flush the toilet multiple times. Each time, caused Logan’s body to heat up more and more. Duncan let go of Logan’s body as it started to burn. Logan stood up and turned to Duncan and the jocks.]
Duncan: “You are not leaving this locker room alive.”
Logan: “Fine. I will gladly kick all three of your fatasses.”
[The jocks laugh at Logan whose eyes turn red. He charged at Duncan tackling him to the floor. Logan starts throwing repeated punches at his face, before being grabbed by the other two jocks.]
Duncan: “That was not cool dude. I sure hope it was worth it though. Because now, I’m going to kill you.”
[Duncan laughed as he punched Logan right in the face. Duncan takes out a pocket knife and taunts Logan with it, gliding it along his face. Logan starts to panic, sweat forming from his pores. Duncan holds the knife near Logan’s kidney.]
Duncan: “Hopefully, you are the last non-white bastard my sister likes. Maybe she will finally get the message.”
[Duncan laughs as he prepares to stab Logan’s kidney. Logan screams as a wave of fire unleashes itself from his body. The jocks are pushed back, burn marks all over their bodies. The fire catching to the walls as it slowly engulfs the room. The jocks are unconscious on the floor as Logan panics at what he just did. He looks around and sees a fire alarm. He runs over pulling it as he runs out of the locker room to see everyone evacuating. He runs out of the school and starts running down the street making his way home. Once he is home, he runs to his room packing a bag before leaving out his window and climbing up the wall to his yard. He runs and doesn't look back.]
Logan: “So much for a normal fucking life.”
[Meanwhile back at the school, the firefighters arrive to a majority of the campus in flames. They spend the next hour getting it out. When they send in a crew they retrieve three charred bodies. Maria, who had not seen her brother, starts to worry.]
Maria: “Duncan?”
[The firefighters look over the bodies and try to make them out. They talk to a school official and ask for a list of dance attendees. They look over the list and see there is a list of four people unaccounted for.]
Firefighter: “We have a total of three bodies and have a list of four unaccounted people. If you are not related to or responsible for the following people please leave the scene. Duncan Murphy, George Kingston, Randall White, and Logan Archer.”
[Maria gasps as she runs over crying. Looking at the bodies she vaguely makes out the shape of Duncan and identifies it as such.She looks over at the other two and cries, realizing neither is Logan. New channels start arriving getting coverage of the event.]
Newscaster: “I am standing here in front of what used to be Arcadia Prep Academy, where an unknown fire started killing four teenaged boys. We have managed to locate three of the bodies, but the body of Logan Archer remains missing amongst the remains of the institution.”
[The scene transitions to Logan’s mother arriving home from work to see mud tracks in her home. Angry she goes into Logan’s room and barges in, only to find an open window and a missing Logan. She rushes upstairs to her room where there is a shrine. She kneels in front of it and starts praying.]
Logan’s Mother: “I have protected him like you asked, but it seems something has happened. I hope that you may guide Logan through this difficult time.”
[As she talks, Logan is seen running in a forest as he finds a spot for the night. He huddles himself into a ball of warmth as he cries.]
Logan: “What is wrong with me?”
[Logan drifts off into sleep as the scene transitions to a beach city. The camera zooms into a nearby condo to show a hispanic girl watching the news as she sees the report about Logans school.]
Girl: “So, it seems he finally remembers who he is.”
