DOORMAN RESIDENTS
A woman in her early 30s wakes up to get a glass of water from the kitchen. She looks outside as she sees the snow pick up. “Hmm looks like I’m taking Uzi to school”. The woman's eyes glow as her cup of water floats out of her hand. As he waves her hand to bring it towards the sink her magic turns green for a split second and the glass drops and shatters. “What..”. She turns around and grabs the broom. As she is cleaning it up her phone goes off.
CALLER ID
Mother
The woman picks it up. “Mom, did you feel that too?. My magic turned green and it made me drop a glass cup”. A worried voice is heard.
“Nori, it's coming from the forest. A portal opened up. Me and your father are going to check it out”. Nori sighs. “Alright, just be safe you two. Do you need me or Khan to help?”.
“If it's something too powerful then yes we will. I will keep you updated. Love you sweetie.”
“Love you too mom. Just stay safe please. And call us immediately if you need us”. Nori looks up as she sees Khan come into the kitchen worried. Nori Hangs up.
“What's wrong?”. Khan asks as his voice becomes serious. “Portal opened in the forest, mom said be on stand by..”. Khan sighs heavily. “But I'm guessing we are going to go help her now”. Nori smiles. "Great, another thing to deal with in the forest.” He walks into his office area and opens a safe with a few prototype weapons. He pulls out a rail gun and it glows green as he puts it on safe mode. “Alright I’ll text Frank to come by the house to watch Uzi.”
COPPER NINE ROCKY TRAIL
2 Minutes Before
A green portal opens in the middle of a dark forest trail. Animals run from the scene. A kid is spat out. He slides across snow and ice. He is still unconscious. The portal starts to glitch from green to purple. Purple lighting shoots at the kid, waking him up fast. He is breathing heavily as he looks around. As he does he doesn't know his left eye flashes purple for a split second. His hair glitches from just dirty blond to now having purple high lights. The portal spasms out as a dog is spit out too.
The kid quickly gets up fast. He is scared and shivering. Where is he? WHO is he and why does the dog look familiar?
He grabs his head as a raging migraine happens. The dog runs up to the kid and tackles him. “AHH SOMEONE HELP ME IM BEING ATTACKED BY THIS DOG”.
The dog starts licking him. The dog, happy to see his owner, is safe. ‘MIA HAHA STOP MIA I-”. The kid's migraine stops suddenly as the dog stops licking him and just comes near him to cuddle with the kid. Trying to warm the kid up.
“Mia….oh m-m-my…W-h-here..where are we?”. The kid tries to get up but the dog is making him stay down. The dog looks between the woods and growls. The kid looks behind him as an older couple comes forward. “Easy girl…we just heard the kid scream and wanted to check in on him.”. The older man says with his hand out. Right as he says that, the portal glitches from purple back to green and disappears in a cloud of green and purple smoke. The older woman comes closer.
“So you're the one who causes all of this ruckus.”. The kid's eyes widened. The dog, feeling the older couple won't hurt the kid, lets go and sits next to the kid. “Now then let's get you up and sheltered. Doubie you will please hand me the blankets from your backpack. “Yes ma’am will do.”. He opens a duffel bag full of different tools and clothes.
The woman grabs the blanket and wraps it around the kid. “Now tell me why are you in the woods, are you running from your parents?”. The kid looks at the woman contemplating on what to say. “I..I don't remember much. Al-All I remember is a fi-fire and a man in a black cloak fighting a man in a trench coat..I didnt run from my parents..atleast I think I didn't..I don't know…I don't even remember my name…”. As the kid talks his accent switches from southern to no accent back to southern.
The woman looks at her husband. Now that she is close to the kid, she senses something inside the kid. It's not magic, at least not magic she has ever felt. The lady helps the kid up. “Well I'm taking you straight to Nori's house. It's 22 degrees outside and you and your dog need warmth before you both freeze to death!”.
The woman freezes in her tracks. Then she sighs. "Nori for the love of the gods. I told you two to be on stand by and not come towards us.”. The kid looks towards the woods as a man and woman come into view. The man has a futuristic gun and the woman's eyes and hands glow purple. “Well me and Khan were not just gonna let you two have all the fun”.
“Correction she dragged me in. And you know I wasn't going to let her walk here by herself.” Khan says with a tired smirk. The kid looks at the gun with awww. “So I'm guessing the dog and the kid were the cause of the portal?”. The older woman nods as she walks towards the trail. “Lets hurry up and get to your house Nori. He needs a change of clothes and warmth”. The german shepherd quickly gets up and walks by the kid.
“What's the kids' and dogs' names”. Khan asks as The older woman sighs. “Kid can't remember and I heard the kid yell the name of the dog being Mia”. The dog sniffs Khan making sure he is safe. The dog then sniffs Nori. The dog backs away from Nori, sensing something in the woman.
“Here I’ll just take us to the house quickly”. Nori says as her eyes flash purple. The kid looks around as a purple orb forms over everyone. “Wait wh-”. Everyone teleports away.
DOORMAN RESIDENTS
As they all teleport in the living room The kid falls onto the floor and barfs. The older woman looks at Nori. “A warning would have been nice for the kid Nori”. Nori covers her mouth not trying to laugh. “Shit…sorry mom..and kid who doesn't know his name.”. The younger kid gives a thumbs up. Nori helps the kid up and helps take his backpack off. As she does, a tag falls off. The kid walks over to a couch to lay down. The dog follows. Nori picks up the tag.
PLEASE RETURN IF STOLEN
####### AARON ########
Address: 6##0 Ga#or Drive ######, MS 38##0
Cell: 6#2-46#-##78
Nori's eyes widen as she gives it to her mom. “Well kid it looks like we found where you're from.”. Nori says as she looks up and sees the kid and dog asleep already. Khan chuckles. “Well looks like we should all head to bed. We can tell him tomorrow when he wakes up. For now I'm heading to bed. Love you all good night”. He gives Nori a kiss goodnight. Then heads over to the old couple for a hug.
As he walks up stairs he sees a purple-haired girl watching what's going on. “Don't worry Uzi everything's alright.”. He ruffles her hair as he walks into the bedroom and closes the doors.
Uzi walks down and sees the boy and dog. Nori sees her and sighs as she kneels by her. “Uzi its 3 in the morning. You need to go to bed. You might not have school but you still need rest”.
Uzi sees The older couple and smiles big. “Grammy! Papa!”. She runs up to them and hugs them. “Hey Kiddo/Hey Sweetie”. The couple says at the same time.
“Well Doobie I guess it's time to head home.” The older woman says. “Awww but you just got here…” Uzi pouts. The older man chuckles. “It's alright Uz we can talk in the morning...Its someone's special day anyways”. The couple hug both Uzi and Nori.
“Welp Sweetie its time”. The older woman smiles as her eyes start glowing purple and blue. As they disappear into thin air waving good bye. “Bye Bye Mom and Dad/Bye Bye Grammy! And PaPa!!!”. Uzi then remembers the kid and the dog.
Uzi looks at her mother for a sec.“Mommy..who is he and the dog too…”. Uzis Eyes widen. “ARE WE GETTING A DOG!!”. Nori chuckles and thinks for a minute. “Maybe…but the kid's name is Aaron. We found him outside on the forest trail. Poor kid”. Uzi walks over to them as the dog wakes up.
Mia growls for a sec but stops when she sees Uzi is just a kid. Uzi walks up to pet Mia and she starts licking Uzi. Uzi starts giggling. “What's your name..”. “The dog's name is Mia”. Nori says petting the dog too. Nori sighs
“Alright young lady, bed now” nori points at the stairs. “Aww ok mom…”. Uzi hugs her mom and heads up the stairs. Nori looks around making sure nobody is here.
“Ok kid, let's see if you're telling the truth.” Nori walks over to the kid and grabs his hand. Her hand starts to glow and she looks through his memories.
DREAM LAND
Nori is brought into his dream. She looks around and she is at Copper Nine Trail. It's snowing hard too. ’What…I want his memories not his-’
*distorted siren-like scream*
Nori covers her ears.’What the fuck was that’ Nori looks around as she sees Aaron. He looks like he's in his teens. He also has a backpack that is…glowing?. And for some reason he is running fast. As she sees a 9ft Nightmarish black bear with razor sharp teeth claws and…a top hat and a yellow bow..

"FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!" Aaron runs as fast as he can. "####! ####! UZI, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SOMEONE HELP ME!". Aaron jumps over frozen twigs as he hears the bear getting faster.
"Give us the backpack" a distorted echoed voice. Aaron's eyes widen as he runs "HOLY SHIT IT TALKS. AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN US".
Nori tries to move but she can't. And she can't speak. ’This shouldn't be possible. Why can't I move..’
Aaron stops as he sees. A dark blue bunny missing some of his chest. "Oh...that's what you mean by us.. ha". Aarons says while breathing heavily.
Aaron looks around. As sees an opening. As he runs the black bear slashes at his right arm. "Ow Fuck!". He grabs the slashed arm as blood drips out. Aaron trips on ice and starts sliding down a slippery hill and off an edge. "OH FUCK!". Aaron screams as he is falling fast.
*End Music*
Nori's eyes widen as she holds her hands out trying to stop him from falling. However, a purple bubble forms around Aaron.
Nori is then teleported to where Aaron was gently set down. Her eyes widen as she sees Uzi grown up. Her eyes flash purple and she has him in the bubble when something blurry with Grey wings grabs him.
Nori's eyes widen ‘SHIT AARON’. Before she can do something, a human hand grabs her shoulder. Nori tries to move but the hand keep her there. Her View darkens as she cant see anything.
“Hello Nori…It's been a while”. A Metallic British voice is heard. Nori’s breath hitches.
“This Aaron kid feels different... .maybe I can turn him…like I turned you all those years ago”. Nori can finally move as she looks behind her and there's nothing. “Ill see you soon Nori”
REAL WORLD
Nori is forced out of Aaron's dream. As she is breathing hard she hits the wall. How come she couldn't see his memories, how come HE was in Aaron dreams. How is HE back.
Why does he want Aaron. Why did Aaron's backpack glow and why was he running from that beast. Nori had so many questions but she was drained from her magic. And she needed to EAT something.
Nori looks over to Aaron. ‘I promise you kid, that Man-No-Monster will not touch you’. Aaron's highlights glow a little as she says that.
OUTSIDE
As Nori is talking, a man in a purple cloak watches them. His mask glows purple. The Man laughs. “Well well well looks like my plan has gotten a little interesting…no biggie..I always have a plan…see you soon Aaron Smith”. The man disappears in a ball of purple smoke.
On the second floor window a girl in purple hair is seen looking outside. “Who…was that man…and why does he feel…different like Aaron”. Uzis eyes glow as she says that. Her blinds close as she hops in bed and sleeps.
