History and Love

"Please hold your position," Cain instructed Luke on how to properly hold the new front bumper for his Mustang while he held it on the other side.

Luke was struggling, holding on, and looked down and said, "Jacob, hurry up, I can't hold this much longer." he was struggling, holding it in place.

Jacob is under the car as he is screwing in place and says out loud, "Just one more, and I'm done!"

Luke was on fire at how long he'd been holding on, as Cain didn't look like he hadn't broken a sweat. Jacob finished the last screw and yelled, "Done."

Luke let go and sighed in relief as he didn't have to hold on to the bumper. Cain chuckled as he saw this and said, "Hahaha, you good".

Luke looks at like he is crazy him and says, "How the hell are you not tired?". Cain smiled as he just shrugged his shoulder and said, "Working out, little dude," as he roughed Luke's hair.

Luke smacked his hands away and saw Jacob getting up from the ground and said"Why are we doing this again" he trying to breathe as he was and pointed to the right "And I mean all of us trying to rebuild that junk of a car" to see all Cain siblings who are on the floor seating down or laying down taking breaks from the work.

Cain looks at them and walks towards them, grabs a water bottles, hands it to Luke and Jacob, and says, "For a good reason, and you want to know why".

They all looked at each other and looked back and said, "Why?" all together at the same time.

Cain got back to his car and started packing all the tools into the toolbox, and said, "Well, you see, guys, why did I want you guys to help me?" he looked back and saw Tracy raising her hands for the question he snaps his finger and pointed at her and said "You".

Tracy smiled and said, "For family bonding time".  Amanda pointed at her and said, "Meaning, that's a really good point right there."

Cain chuckled and said, "That's a good point, and it's a lesson for you guys." He pointed at them, knowing it was not just family time. It's more than that.

Jack looked at him in confusion and said what they all wanted to say: "What lesson?". Cain finished packing all the tools carried. He walked towards them and sat down, putting the toolbox right next to him, and said, "Well, what Jacob said, it's car junk, but it's a memory and a lesson for me and you guys".

"What lesson, all the lesson I know was getting dirty," Stephanie pointed at herself and as well as all of them.

"Yeah, and my hair is dirty, and it is going to take forever to take off the dirty oil," Alex said, complaining about how it messed up her hair and knowing it was going to take forever going to the restroom to take a shower.

"Not for me and Adam because we get to draw on the floor." Katie smiled as she raised her hands, showing her hands were all black, and pointed at her and Adam at what they drew on the floor.

"Yup, and when we do that, we can take some of the blacks off our hands," Adam said as he used his finger to draw a circle and showed it to them some of it came off with a smile on his face.

Cain smirked at every person's reaction and said, "Well, the lesson is why I want that junk, but my Baby is right there." he pointed at his hand and continued, "Is because why want a new car? You can get this for cheap, and it can help you know your car better and see what's the problem, and later on, that baby will look brand new when I ask one of my friends to do the paint job and get new rims".

They looked at Cain's car, knowing what he said was right. If he finished the car, it would be brand new, and it'd be a cooler car when Cain finished it.

Luke looked at the car and said out loud, "Well, you're right. I did learn something when fixing the car". They all nodded as they did learn something from fixing the car with the help of Cain helping them if they were doing it right or not.

"Cain, there, this girl looking for you," Rebecca said as she walked to the side of the house where they all were as someone was walking behind her.

Cain looks behind and sees Rebecca walking towards them as he gets up along with his siblings and says, "Who is it?".

Rebecca moved to the side, revealing who was behind her, and it was Hermione who was smiling at him. She was surprised by what Cain said last time when he said he had big siblings along with him being the oldest, but she smiled at them and said hello to them.

Cain was surprised to see Hermione coming here and said, "Hermione, I didn't know you were coming."

Hermione smiled and said, "Well, I just want to talk to you about something. Is that okay with you?" When she said that, the kid's eyes were wide, and the girl's jaws were hanging out.

She looked at the kids, seeing the kid's reactions as she looked in confusion, and said, "Did I do something wrong?".

Katie looked at her and pointed as if she was still shocked and said "You have a pretty voice." Hermione was surprised, looking at the kids who just nodded, which caused her to giggle a little bit and say, "Why do you think my voice is pretty?".

Tracy said, "Because we haven't heard that accent before". They all nodded in agreement as Cain just smirked seeing all this, and Rebecca stepped in and said, "I am so sorry, but we never hear a British accent in this place at all. That just surprised them, including myself, so I hope we're not making things weird".

Hermione waved it off and said, "It's okay. A lot of people were surprised when me and my family, along with a friend of mine, first met us, so it was no problem".

Cain just chuckled and stepped in and said, "Alright, we can talk, and why don't you guys?" he pointed at his siblings and said, "Go start getting clean up, okay?".

Rebecca agreed with what he said, so she told the kids to start heading inside. As they were going inside, Katie was still standing in the same spot as she continued looking at Hermione.

Cain looked at Katie and said, "Aren't you going, Katie?".  Katie just nodded and said, "You're really pretty." As soon as she said that, she ran inside the house, leaving Hermione giggling some more as she watched Katie running inside the house.

"Aww, she's adorable," Hermione said as she looked where Katie had disappeared. She looked back at Cain and said, "And you didn't lie when you said you had that many siblings."

Cain shrugged as he picked up his toolbox and put it at the back of the trunk. " Of course I did. Why would I lie?" As he finished closing the trunk, he looked back at her and said, "So what do you want to talk about then".

Hermione didn't know what to say as she wasn't sure how to talk about the topic. He looked at her, seeing she was having trouble, and said, "Come on, it can't be that bad".

Hermione just sighed and said, "I came here to about," looking around, seeing that nobody wasn't around, and said in a whisper, "Ghost Rider".

Cain looked at her and said with a sigh, "Come on". He walks inside, and Hermione follows behind him. As they walk through the hall, Hermione looks around and sees pictures on the wall, seeing Cain and his family in different Pictures with smiles on their faces, feeling that she's looking at Big family photos other than orphans.

Cain opens his room, letting her go first, and closes the door behind him as he locks it, too. He gestured the bed for her. "Have a seat."

As soon as she sat down on his bed, Cain crossed his arms over his chest and looked at "So why do you want to talk about ghost rider?".

"Well I wanted to this whole week but we got a lot of things to do at our job which is getting a lot of attention when we go there at night and you winning races" Hermione smiled as she explained that she wanted to bring up but they had a lot of things to do and she said, "And is about how did you get your power and how do you know about me or wizards and witches".

Cain smirked and said, "Well, you see, I'm a born mutant just like you." he pointed at her, and she kinda smiled that she already knew that, but she kept on hearing what else. "Well, my power is to control and become fire itself like manipulating the fire. When I first got it, I actually ignited myself on fire, but I can't do that anymore later on, I kept feeling like I'm missing part of myself".

"But over the years until this year, I came looking for a job, and I met Carter Slade." he smiled as she already knew this story, but he was going to do something that would shock her. "He was the Rider before me".

She looked at him when he said Rider until he made a jester in his hands and put them on his face and made a fiery nose and used his hands as the jester of fire. As soon she saw that she started to connect the dots and said with a shocked expression, "You mean he was the fiery skull that was you last week?".

Hermione looked at him and said in a desperate voice "But how did you know that I was-" but Cain cut her off as he raised his hand telling her to stop and said, "Let me get to that but what you don't know how I know you were a witch is because I have someone who has been teaching me about supernatural awareness that possesses an extrasensory ability that allows me to detect any supernatural occurrences around me like a radar you know". Hermione looks at him surprised about that but she caught on to something "Wait so you have this radar to know any supernatural and someone taught you but that doesn't explain how you know Hogwarts of wizards and witches".

Cain smirks as he walks towards her and says, "Well, that is about me and Carter, the legacy of this Rider that has been transferred so long. That someone possessed us or them long ago and we get their Knowledge from their experience or being the rider".

He kneels as he looks into her eyes and says "And I get to see their experience when I dream" he gets up and walks towards his disk table brings out a journal gives it to her and says "I get to look into their past lives and experience secrets that nobody don't know and gives me tactics of fighting styles that are old as time itself".

Cain was thanking God how he knew Hermione was along with Hogwarts as every time he dreamed, he didn't know there were other riders before him and Carter, and when he spoke to him last time, Carter was surprised as this as well, and Cain had experienced watching how Carter had become the Rider and so forth. What got him more confused was that Carter never gets those dreams and they both conclusion was that Cain was different from all the riders because Carter can't do what Cain can so when spoke to Zarathos about this he just told him that was because he is the perfect ghost rider and more importantly vessel as out of all the riders they were all have possessed he was the one who had permitted Zarathos to go inside the body as that was why he was perfect vessel.

Hermione was looking at pages and saw drawings of different riders and their experience and the era until she caught the cowboy rider was in shock as the person was Carter Slade meaning he must be older than Dumbledore himself and that saying something until she caught on something that they don't age only if they die but she caught on something that made her think books in her place are just lies.

The page she is reading is the Black Night or the Dark Night that she has always read, but he was a Rider, and he fought alongside King Arthur and Merlin. The Merlin, until she kept on reading, found out something not even the Wizards and witches knew. That Hogwarts had 4 founders, but it was actually five founders: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, Salazar Slytherin, and the Rider himself who is named Roderick Hogwart.

Hermione read out loud "The five founders found a place where they get to teach new generations where they can learn and be themselves as each houses represent themselves by their last name Gryffindor (values: courage, chivalry, and determination), Slytherin (values: ambition, greatness and resourcefulness), Hufflepuff (values: hard work, patience, and humility), Ravenclaw (values: wisdom, wit and creativity), Hogwart who represent all together in the castle as he is not just the name that represent the castle but also the guardian that has been protecting the four founders along new generations with the magic he put to protect them all."

She was taking it all in as she just discovered that Hogwarts represents a Rider and she kept on reading about the castle until something even more shocked her was that the founders had good relationships with the muggles including Salazar Slytherin as the serpent in her second year that terrorized the muggles was a protector when Rider is doing who knows what but when the founders died the Wizards and witches got greedy and scared as they witnessed Muggles that were growing stronger as well at the same time they think they are inferior to them so they hide to the magical world that the Rider with a help of Merlin had made as well as a passageway to go into the magical world as there are locations to get in there.

As she finished it it all made sense to her how the four founders were five along with the magical world that is a dimension because she was always trying to figure out how the Muggles hadn't figured out the location as they have a satellite and everything but now it wasn't just magic that made it disappear it was a dimension to the magical world.

"Surprised, huh" Cain looks at her as she is in shock at discovering something the Wizards or Witches don't even know of, but he kinda thinks Dumbledore knows it because he is always the mystery person.

Hermione was taking a breath and looked at him and said, "You said they got all possessed by something or someone, and it's inside you too then, " looking at him as she started to freak out.

Cain chuckled and said, "Well, there are wizards and witches, right, and aliens." She nodded, but he said, "Why can't there be myths and legends then?."

She looked at him and said, "Is there a god inside you." But Cain shook his head and said "Higher".

She started looking back to the video of him turning into a fiery skull and noticed the person he was up against was a supernatural who she is hoping is not Death himself. she started thinking about who had the power to possess someone until she started questioning it and said "Demon" in a scared tone.

Cain just smirks and says again, "Higher." When she heard that if it's not a demon, what is something until it clicked that made her look at him as if he was something unbelievable and said "Angel".

Cain just smirked and made her about to faint, but Cain got her behind her head and looked at her and said, "You really going to faint right now? I thought you would faint when you discovered Hogwart was a Rider, huh?".

She pushed him back and got up and started pacing back and forth well, saying, "This can't be real; this can't be real".

"It's real alright," Cain said as he just watched Hermione losing her mind it is kinda funny seeing The Hermione Granger losing her mind.

She looked back at him and said, "Why aren't you freaking out? This is big". He just shrugged and said, "I'm used to it."

"USED TO IT THERE ARE ANGELS AND DEMONS THAT ARE REAL AND THAT MEANS LUCIFER IS REAL, MICHAEL IS REAL L, AND THAT WOULD MEAN?" She stopped and turned to him as fast as she could and screamed "THAT WOULD MEAN GOD IS REAL, AND HE IS OUT THERE."

Cain walks towards her, lays his hands on her shoulder, and says in a calm voice, "Calmed down."

She looks at him as if he is crazy and says to him, "I am not calm. That would mean everything changes now as if there's heaven or hell or-" She got cut off when Cain grabbed her and softly pushed her to a wall as he towered over her and "Are you done now".

Hermione slowly looks at him and memorizes his gray eyes. As she keeps on looking, she simply wants to get lost in his eyes, but she slowly nods her head. But something hit her as it happened when she first met him.

Cain started to feel it too and said, "Shit" he took a step back and took off his shirt, which, made Hermione memorize his muscles that looked like it was made by god itself, but she pushed her back to the wall further as Cain ignited himself on fire.

He sighed in relief as he released his hellfire as he didn't feel any funny business that whatever he did stop Hermione from being a love stick as soon she started thinking straight she was in awe of what she was seeing right now as Cain's upper body is on fire and it doesn't look any fire. She hadn't seen that kind of fire before, but it was beautiful.

As soon he was finished, he deactivated his hellfire, leaving him shirtless as he sighed in relief.

"What was that?" Hermione still looked at him as her face was all red from what she was seeing right in front of her. Cain sighed and said "That is  a problem"

He walks into the restroom starts splashing water on his face and looks in the mirror seeing Hermione right behind as he looks into her eyes in the reflection "That was my power but the reason I'm different is because my mutant power wasn't just fire it was hell fire and Zarathos who is inside me is my missing peace".

"So the angel that is inside you is Zarathos, but I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about you igniting yourself on fire." looking at him in concern as she was worried about him.

He sighed and said, "It's my drawback. It's because I got a lot of fire inside me building up, so I need to release it out, and sometimes it can cause things that can have another way to release it."

She looks at him as if she still doesn't get it as Cain says, "Well, what did you feel when you first met me and now?".

She looked at him, and her eyes just popped when she started thinking, "So you mean other than releasing out your fire, you can release it to -" She didn't want to finish the sentence, but she saw Cain nod his head in agreement.

"Just forget it, okay? I don't want things to make things weird," Cain said as he started popping his fingers.

Hermione nodded and said "Does it hurt" he looked at her in reflection as she said "Does it hurt when you get shot, slashed, and beat up when you go out there"

Cain looked at her and said, "Not anymore. Ever since I can go full rider, I kinda feel the pain, but the amazing healing factor, I have just healed up in a second."

"But that doesn't make sense if you can't feel pain anymore since you went full rider as in turning to a Fiery skull" As she said that she looked at him as he raised his eyebrows and smirked at him and she continued "You can transform into that as because of that you can heal faster because when you turn into the fiery skull then".

He nodded as she was catching on, but she had something on her mind and said, "I want to see it".

Cain looks at her as if what she said was what she thinks she said. As she saw him looking at her, she corrected herself, "Your fiery skull, you imbecile," slapping him behind his head.

Cain chuckled and said, "Okay, let me get dressed then". She looked at him and said, "What do you mean you have to change? You can do it now".

Cain started thinking and said, "I never seen myself shirtless being the full rider, but sure". He shrugs his shoulders as he looks into the mirror, spreads his arms out, and says, "You ready". 

Soon he saw her nodding her head. He tried to constraints as blood started pumping faster.

She was staring at him as he was constraining. it had only been a few seconds since she was about to speak until he erupted into flames that blinded Hermione.

As she readjusted her eyesight, she was met with Cain's skull on fire. His whole upper body looked like ashes as well as burning flesh. She saw his body cracking, and some of the fire looked like it was about to come out, and spread across his upper body. As he finished the transformation, he turned his head, looked at her, and said, "Well, what do you think?".

She slowly walks to him and slowly traces her hands as the fire isn't burning her at all and say "Like a demon."

"Well, he is a fallen angel, but In a good way," Cain said as he reminded her that Zarathos is a fallen angel.

Hermione nodded as she continued tracing his body. She turned Cain's whole body to look at her. She looked up at him and said, "So this is what full rider looks like." she slowly started tracing her hands on his bony jaw as the fire still hadn't burned her, but she could fill it.

Cain nodded, and as he started turning back to his human self, he said, "Yeah," and looked at her in the eyes.

As both of them look at each other in the eyes, they are just looking at each other and don't care about anything else around them, as what they are seeing is more important than anything else.

Suddenly and without warning, Hermione leaned forward, her mouth parted. Cain was confused for a split second before he registered what was happening. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth as skin met skin, Hermione's soft, warm lips electrifying his. He thought there must be nothing else in the world so soft. Her tongue entered his mouth, and their oral appendages tangled in an amorous dance.

As they were kissing Cain got back to his senses and split apart from one another. As he did that, he saw Hermione looking at him her eyes looked in confusion but hurt, and tears started to come.

Cain leans his forehead to hers, looks into her, and says, "Don't cry. It wasn't because you bad kisser. It's because I don't want something bad to happen to you".

She looks at him still hurt Cain sighs and slowly grabs her cheeks slowly as he carries her skin and says "I can see your past that people take you for granted and see you getting hurt because of who you are. I don't want to have sex with you because you're beautiful".

Cain leaned back and slowly put his hand and slowly going down, starting to her forehead to her nose and slowly past her lips, making her close her eyes and finish it until it passed her chin.

He put his forehead back to forehead and hugged her tightly and said "I want to make love to you but I can't if when I start I can't control it that much when I have this much pent-up power that needs relief that will continue having more sex and I don't want to cheat on you when I need to let off my stress."

He was slowly letting go as he was about to take a step back Hermione grabbed his face looked at her shook her head and said "You not going to hurt me it okay" She slowly got close and said "Make love to me like you mean it" and Cain looked down at the witch in his arms. His face flushed, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. She had tears in her eyes and the smile on her face widened before he heard the words in her mind that made his heart soar.

"Please"

That was all it took for him to capture her lips once again hungrily. She responded in kind and their dance began again. It wasn't long, however, before both sets of hands began to wander. It started off innocent enough. Cain began to rub up and down her back lovingly while Hermione rested her hands upon his chest. Yet on one pass, his hands dipped too low and passed over the top of her beautiful bum that was covered by her skirt. She gasped softly at this contact and he heard her voice quietly filter in among the haze of her presence, 'Keep going'. Not needing to be told twice the teen continued southward until his hands wrapped around the two full globes underneath her skirt. He sunk them in deeper, kneading the soft cheeks with his hands.

He doesn't care what his mind is telling him, but he'll listen to his heart, and he'll make her feel important once in her life, and he'll keep making her important.
