Chapter 1 – Fall to Angels
Ben couldn't believe what was happening. Society had been at its peak, his people were all happy. Then they came. At first nobody had suspected anything really, I mean, who would be suspicious of a simple statue of an angel? They were dead wrong.
It started out as simple disappearances. A homeless person gone there, some young child gone there. The police started receiving several missing persons reports, so they sent out a task force to investigate a drug ring they had their eyes on for a while. Then the entire task force went dark.
After that, people began to notice the increase of statues everywhere. That's when the craziness began.
The statues were moving positions, nobody saw them, but everybody knew it. The army was useless, for they couldn't kill the stone. Pretty soon, the riots began, and everything toppled.
Ben was there when his father died. An angry mob broke in to the palace. They demanded to make the king explain to them why the Weeping Angels had come. His father protested and tried to make them believe that it was their fault that they had let their dreams dream for themselves. But Ben really knew that his father was a corrupt king. Although in fact he had initially led the planet to peace, he carried on too far and made it carry on for itself. He began to take the peoples peacefulness and used it to just make himself richer.
Unfortunately, he was not believed, and one of the men in the crowd pulled out a gun, and shot his father in the chest. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. The blood splattering against the wall, his father falling against the floor, and even his last words to Ben: "Do not forget. Do not forgive. But do not take revenge, my son. I failed my country and got what I deserved. Take this lesson and become the leader I could never be."
The mob soon found him, and they recognized it was not his fault, so they exiled him. As he was walking through the desert away from his city, he heard the screaming, the unforgettable screaming, and he knew it was all over. Or so he thought.
For that's when he came. The only man who could save them. The mad man in the blue box.
