Hi this is my first post I'm so nervous.

Any constructive criticism is welcome.

My muse for this story comes and goes so any updates will be slow.

And as I've stated before I am new to this so please be patient with me.

Prologue

Put this book down! Put it back where you got it from now if you value your life as you know it. Cause if you don't they will find you! Wait! You know what if your still reading then take this book and burn it. I don't care what lengths you have to go through just destroy this book!

O.K. Well crap you're still reading this cursed book and probably have tried to get rid of it, hopefully. Well now you have a problem. I'm sorry I really am but it's too late now. The only thing left to do is to prepare you and hope that you survive. You are one of the few beings in this world that is able to read Me. And because of that fact you will be sought after.

Yes you read that right and no it's not a typo, I said "ME"! I can't tell you yet why you are able to read me but someday I will. Now if you are ready to survive then I need for you to go to the most crowded place possible with all different scents, because they will be able to track you. And whatever you do, don't stop moving! If you stop then your smell will linger and it will be easier for them to sniff you out. And yes I meant that quite literally. The only place you can rest at is the nasties bathroom, or something akin to it; and even then you can only stay for 2 days tops.

I know what you're thinking "This is a load of bull" am I right? But take a slow look around. Do you see them? They are watching you, trying to figure out what you are doing because they cant see me. All they see is another random boring book that won't be looked at twice. But if you see someone sniffing the air towards you direction then you need to walk away. CALMLY! If you run they'll follow you, but if you walk away like normal they'll just search the area for me.

Right so if you still have me and are in a different area then we're off to a good start. Oh! How could i be so intolerably rude. My name is … Drat! Even if i tell you my name you won't be able to understand it. Let me think. I do believe in your language my name would translate to "Perfect Vessel." Awesome right. Not!

Sorry but i only found out that that is my true name before I got transformed into a book. I grew up thinking that is was Gabriel. So if you want you can call me Gabe too.

But enough of the niceties we don't have time for that. You'll only have enough time to get the supplies that i'll tell you that you'll need, then we have to go. If you're really lucky then this grace period will last 5 months and let me tell you. NO! That amount of time is not good enough. Plus we'll be leaving in 4 months, yeah not 5, 4! Your scent will start to bleed through and they'll start to head this way. Plus it will only last if i'm within 5 feet of you and in your current home. Any more then all bets are off.

"But you said earlier that they can already smell me" Sorry a little bit of misinformation there. I should've said that they can smell that someone has found me. Like taking the lid of a can of pickles once it's open you can't hide the smell. Bad analogy I know but we don't have time to discuss this. They will come for you. You'll live but it won't be much of a life. You will be tortured for the knowledge that I hold. "Why not just give you to them?" you ask. Well they can't see me remember? You're the only one alive that is even remotely able to even understand what I keep secret. But don't fret, not yet at least, I will help prepare you, like I have previously stated. Now sit down, take notes, and put on that dunce cap. Cause once i'm done with you, you will feel like one.
