Chapter 2 - Cover Blown

Bleu came from the land of Anyum a land of purpose. You were born for a purpose, you were sent down for a purpose. You cannot   deny it or you'll be put into the Hunger Games and probably left there to die helplessly. There was no doubt about it. If you fail, you'll have a very painful reset and come back on Earth a day later all normal and shit. Anyum looks at different parts of Earth that need help or needed more of. Bleu's friend, Fae, was sent  down to help stop poverty. Fae was really weak and denied it. He explained his point and then was sent down to plant trees to balance deforestation.

He did do this but after 2 years, he grew tired and denied it again but this time for an invalid reason. He was then sent to the Hunger Games. The Hunger Games was broadcasted on all screens. (Reminder, Fae was weak). In the first day, he got bitten by a venomous snake which filtered poison into his body that resulted in terrible pain. It was hard for Bleu to watch him scream and scream and scream until an archer came and finished him off quicker. Bleu was only 13 when this happened and learnt to follow the rules.

Bleu was then sent down 2 years later to plant....blueberries. Everyone thought it was quite absurd. Who would thought the Earth was lacking blueberries? Anyum would replace you with someone who has died lately that sort of matched your personality. You get to keep their life. Everyone who knows the person died, gets their memory erased so you can slip in perfectly. Bleu was set up with friends and some caring parents who are musicians. Lovely. Bleu spent his first year getting used to it, he loved his friends and loved his family. Bleu has never had a family before. It just felt...like the life he needed.

After all, no one on Anyum had parents. Just guardians to check on them every now and then. Bleu had two lesbian guardians who he called lovebians when he was little. They honestly loved Bleu and Bleu could call them parents if he wanted to. The "lovebians" were in tears when they saw that Bleu was going to be sent down on Earth. Bleu was in tears to. He was one happy child.

The Anyum officials told Bleu the 5 Golden Rules:

× Fit into your new family

× Plant 200 seeds every year or you will reset

× Don't get distracted

× Be human

And the final rule...

× Anyum should not be spoken of

'Anyum should not be spoken of' was starting to ring in Bleu's ears. He started to feel dizzy and nearly fell into the road. Hailey must of read Bleu's mind because she had a shocked face on. "Bleu...is there anything else you would like to say? I- I don't get how you would reset...did you die and come back to life? W-wait... I feel like there's two of you..."

Bleu was slowly regaining consciousness. She didn't know much...it's okay. I'll just tell her it was my dream, Bleu thought heavily. He was about to put his hand on Hailey's shoulder when...

"W-Wait. I swear there's a different you....There's Bleu...and there's...."

Hailey slapped her head and continued

"Mark..."

Bleu's hand went from Hailey's shoulder to his throat. He started chocking on thin air. "Gya!" So much for consciousness. Mark was the human Bleu was replaced with. He broke the last Golden Rule along with the 3rd. Bleu was done for unless he covered it up...

Hailey grabbed onto Bleu's torso from behind and did an exercise to help him stop. " Bleu, what's up? Did I say anything wrong?" Hailey put his arm around her neck and started walking.

Bleu let go and crouched to the floor panting. "No no no! Hailey stop! I can't... I just can't...why? Why did you say that?" His pupils were shrinking in size and his hair started to flair up even though there was no wind. A small star appeared on his forehead, a halo of stars formed around his head, his teeth became sharp and his cheeks grew freckle stars and shine was applied to it all.

Hailey watched dumbfounded. "W-what the f!?" She exclaimed. She took a few feet back and watched his transformation. Bleu finally stood up looking like a whole new character. Hailey dropped her handbag. "Bleu, are you...an anime character?" Hailey's response must of summoned Bleu somehow because his eyes turned from brown to a dangerous shade of blue. He swiftly took hold of Hailey's hand and ran into the other direction. He was WAY too quick to be human. He now broke the 4th rule.

Hailey looked at him in awe and in confusion. "Bleu. What about the party? We're going in the wrong direction!"

"In your dreams."

"You're in my dreams Bleu...I must be dreaming... You look amazing" She looked at him dreamily. "I need to tell the others you're actually an anime character!"

"No no no! Please don't!" Bleu stopped in front of the garden and broke open the gate. He pushed Hailey onto the floor and looked down on her.

"Bleu, why are we here? Are you going to try out my new seeds I gave you?" Hailey propped herself up. Bleu nodded. "Mhm" as he pulled out his shovel from his sling on his back. "Hailey, tell me you love me..." His eyes beginning to blur. Hailey looked up at him in confusion. "What are you talking about? I do love you, Bleu. I loved you since you...um..restarted"

Bleu gave the dirt a quick kick in anger and sadness. She still remembers, he thought. "Hailey, I love you. Promise me you won't die. Promise me!" He shouted through his tears.

"W-what's going on? Bleu why are you saying this?" Her voice cracked. Bleu raised his shovel bit by bit.

"W-wait..Bleu..no..you wouldn't... You wouldn't." Hailey laughed in horror. Bleu closed his eyes shut and gave the shovel a good swing towards Hailey's head.

Again. And again and again. Until Hailey's cries of agony stopped. Bleu slowly opened his eyes only to tear up at Hailey's body lying there with her eyes and mouth open. Blood was dripping down from her head and the tip of his shovel was too. Bleu burst out crying as he dropped down to the floor. "Hailey!" he wailed. "Hailey" he wailed again. He turned back into his human self looking down at his deed that was not human.

Bleu scooped up as much blood as he could from Hailey's blood pool. He kept on chanting Hailey over and over again until he gave up. "I'm sorry. Next time keep you airhole shut." Bleu stood up and did what had to be done. He scanned the area if there were any people before performing his magic. Holding out his hand, Bleu's eyes turned black and he pulled out roots and thorns from the ground and overlapped them onto Hailey to create a coffin of vines. Classy.

Bleu then dug a hole to put her in. Before doing so he gave the coffin a kiss. Covering the body up gave Bleu a painful ringing in his ear and heart to remind him that he'll soon be in trouble. Bleu turned around to exit. He walks on back down and into the neighborhood for the party. Only 30 minutes late. We could say that Hailey couldn't make it. A small chart appeared above Bleu's head, the number 106 turned to 107. After all, he had planted Hailey's gift onto her...
