Fear -- CLOSED, being remade. Please keep unlocked for now

Celco's green eyes darted around the room. Grabbing the light switch, he tugged on it gently, wrinkling his nose at the faint smell. A light filled the room, making everything look a lot friendlier. Why did he just see that? Was he hallucinating? Peeling back his blankets, Celco gingerly stepped out. The floor was cold to the touch, but he spread his feet on the floor, wavering just a little bit from the sudden movement. After all, he did just wake up. Celco rubbed his temples, heading towards the corridor. He glanced at the clock. Five o'clock in the morning... not too far off from dawn. When he reached the door, he felt a hot wave of heat, and the smell grew stronger. Then his brain finally caught up with him. The smell. Celco's eyes widened when he realized. The smell... it's fire...! Stumbling back from the hot door, Celco rushed to his window and jumped up onto the sill. He lived on the second floor, but it shouldn't kill him if he climbed down far enough... but how? Scanning the room, Celco's eyes landed on his bed sheets. The smell was growing more severe by the moment. Dashing forwards, he grabbed the sheets and twisted them into long rolls. Then he tied the two sheets together. Pulling the knot tight with his teeth, Celco took a deep breath and tied one end to his bed post. The other end he threw out the window. It trailed more than halfway down the wall's length. With no time to test it's strength, Celco coughed and threw himself out the window, barely grabbing onto the fabric. Too fast. Celco's palms started burning like there was fire on the bedsheets. His breaths ragged, he quickly wrapped his legs around the fabric, trying to imitate a silk climber, but slowly failing. He never knew how hard it was to grasp onto a piece of fabric. Just a little further and he could possibly jump down safely. The chance never came. Just as Celco was getting ready to slide down again, the knot strained and gave in. Celco shouted in surprise and braced himself. The fall didn't hurt as much as he thought it would be, but it was enough to knock the wind completely out of him. Gasping for breaths, Celco rolled onto his stomach with a groan. How did the fire start anyway? It definitely didn't start from his house, he was sure. It's because of the already half burnt townhouses down the road.

I take it that Cloud started this...?

The psychopath stared at the burning lane of homes, a deadly grin covering face. He arched back, clasped his face with his palms, and began laughing like a maniac. Right as he finished, a few giggles still escaping his mouth, something caught his attention. It was like someone taking a graceful swan-dive from a rope, but landing on their back, forgetting to flap, and not looking graceful whatsoever. Cloud decided to 'attempt' to be nice for once and jogged over to the being. "Hey, you ok?" he questioned the most likely younger, but taller male. "That was a rather graceful swan-dive you had there, buddy," the teen added with a small grin. "Anyways we'd better bail before somethin' explodes from the fire," the grin disappeared from Cloud's face as he offered a hand to the other. "Name's Cloud by the way," he added, sloppy bangs masking his eyes as yet another small grin decked his features.

Josh looked at his ceiling once he woke up. The dream he had wasn't necessarily scary to him only because he wasn't afraid of...wait what was it. He sat up straight in his bed as he tried to remember what it was he dreamed of. 3 A.M. Great, the witching hour, Joshua thought to himself once he had checked his clock. Something was now out of place in his room, but he couldn't tell what. Then he realized he wasn't even in his room. Then not to mention the whispers. They were too quiet and jumbled to tell what they were actually saying, but nonetheless creepy as heck. He wanted to bury himself under the covers, but instead he waited for something to happen. The door slowly opened with a terrifying creak to it. As soon as it opened just a little, what seemed like long fingers started curling around the door. Joshua wasn't going to wait for this to lead to something bad so he did what any logical person would do. He darted for the switch to turn on the light. Luckily wherever this place was had power. The lights flickered and then went back off. Silence set in.

Celco lay there, coughing out the smoke that entered his lungs. When a person jogged over, Celco winced. The other boy didn't look much older than him, but older none the less. Pushing himself off the ground, Celco took the boy's hand and helped himself up. "Cloud." He panted, scrunching up his nose at the smell. He stood there, hands on his knees and bent over to catch his breath. Celco moved around slightly, testing his bones. Everything held fast, at least nothing is broken. "Yeah. I think I will be." Celco responded, catching the boy's grin. It looked a little maniac like since Cloud's eyes were covered by his rather long bangs. Pushing back his own bang with unease, he nodded. The bangs irked him just a little, but he pushed that away. He really shouldn't be randomly judging people at first sight, not after this Cloud person had offered help to him. "You're right. And thanks. Let's get out of here, we can exchange information later." Celco rubbed his elbow that had landed on the ground first. After being crushed by the land, the area around his elbow was purple in the early morning darkness. Celco sighed and started off at a decent pace, not too rushed to get away from all the flames. They felt warm.

"Are you saying 'Cloud' as in a recognition of the fact that my name is beautiful or because we share the same amazing name?" he questioned, tilting his head slightly to the right in confusion. "And yeah, gettin' out of here seems like the best idea right now," he grasped the other's hand tighter and began running from the burning homes, into the thick forest surrounding the small neighborhood. "How come I've never seen you 'round before?" Cloud questioned as they continued running, or at least he continued running. He didn't know if the younger of them was being dragged or sprinting as well. "And why are you so much taller than me?" he muttered low enough so the other couldn't hear. They turned a few corners before coming to a large clearing with a lake sporting the center nicely. As soon as they got there, Cloud fell to his knees and smacked his arms on the ground, heavily breathing to regain his lost breath. "Sorry, I might be a little bit a afraid of fire. But that's like, a point zero-one percent chance," he grinned and left out a half-hearted chuckle. Maybe this one didn't have to disappear, but that's a low chance.

As he was being dragged along, Celco forced a smile. "Recognition." Then he snapped at himself. He was answering in short words while Cloud did all the talking. Really, why was he being so anti-social right now? Too breathless to talk, Celco hurried on, until the other boy dropped his arm and fell to his knees. Taking in gulps of air himself, Celco listened closely as Cloud went on. Tugging down his shirt, Celco took in their surroundings. Forests at night... they're quite dangerous. Hearing Cloud's word of him being scared of fire brought Celco back. "Oh, right. Sorry. I'm Celco, and thanks for you're help." A distant bang told him that something had exploded. Celco's mouth twisted, green eyes narrowing. "Well..." He started, trying to recover the shock. Having to wake up in the middle of a fire after a bad dream and a bad ghostly moment isn't very kind to the human brain. "There goes our homes... Is there someone there you know or need to rescue?" Speaking of rescue, Celco jerked. He had to help if the whole neighborhood was on fire. Patting his pockets, Celco searched for his phone. "We've got to get help. The whole neighbor's gonna burn to ashes if we don't." He murmured, but there was no phone on him. "Do you have a phone?" Celco asked, deciding to ask Cloud if he knew anything about the fire later. Luckily, his dad had gone to the hospital to visit his sister, so they should be safe from the fire. Although... Celco couldn't manage to push away what he saw. The motherly figure standing there, peering at him as if she hadn't seen him in a while and was shy to be there. But his mother was gone already, so of course she hadn't seen him in a while. Looking to Cloud who was still on the ground, Celco rubbed his eyes.

The maniac grin splattered across Cloud's face as he heard Celco's worried words. "Who cares if they all die, less trouble for me. It's not like any of them even cared about what happened to me. All they said was that I was the child of a demon," he said, his eyes giving off a creepy glow as part of his hair brushed away from his face with the wind. Cloud chuckled darkly and threw the other the remnants of the 'phone' his parents got him when they actually gave a damn about his life. Cloud combed through his hair in an attempt to tame the messy bangs but ended up with them even more out of place. He breathed a sigh of defeat and stood up, lightly smacking his knees in attempt to wake them up. The tingling in his legs eventually faded as Cloud stretched his arms and cracked his knuckles. "Well, now that you know I'm supposedly 'insane', are you going to run like everyone else?" The psychopath questioned, pain searing in his unseen eyes. 'Tch, he'll just be like the rest of them. No one understands me,' he thought to himself and gave the other a yet another dark laugh.


oh yes, I would prefer if everyone used the sanity marker(you don't have to use the condition one though)
it was a key element in the planning if this roleplay
