This is my first time doing this, so please review and tell me what you think! Enjoy! PS. If you find any holes in my research, please feel free to tell me.
Cormac and Ciara burst through the bracken. Light flickered above them, trying to find a way though the heavy treeline. Twigs snapped beneath them, creating a terribly load racket, which would really hurt their chances of escape. She was close on their heels. Cormac could hear the sound of trees being uprooted savagely as she mercilessly pursued them. He could feel the heat that She emmited. It was such a innocent mission. Find the Western Camp and spy on the inhabitants. They knew they had the sword. It was just a matter of seeing what they're doing with it. If Crimson really had it...
But Cormac had bigger problems right now.
He and Ciara were leaving from thier mission, when they found the tomb. They though She was still in Lough Derg, but they were so wrong. They should never have ventured into the cave. They had seen the Fomorii preforming a ritual, and that's when they started running. They had been running for so long now, and they're bodies were so tired, but survival instinct kicked in, and wouldn't allow rest. Dochas was just a few wiles now. Just inside the Westmeath border. They just had to escape Meath. Then they would make it. They'd survive! They were going to make it! They- Ciara tripped and fell.
"NO!" Cormac screamed.
He wanted to stop to help her, but then he would die too. Such a cruel world. He cursed as their pursuer devoured his best friend. He ran faster than ever now. He had feelings for Ciara that he would never be able to profess now. He fought back tears. Why did this happen?
He could faintly see the lights of the camp now. it was so close.
But She was gaining on him.
Chapter 1
Caren was like a mother to Eamon. Although, legally, she was. She tried as hard as she could to act like his biological mother, and she was very good at it, but Eamon would always know the truth. He had never met his real mother or father, but Caren had said how they were both lovely people. He had always pestered her for pictures, letters, anything that would help him to find out more about thier vague past. But Caren would always dismiss him and say, with wink, that he'd find out later in life. He waited a long time for her to tell him but she never did.
It was summer 2012 when it all happened. They had decided to go to Limerick for the holidays. Caren had said how she knew a great hotel in Limerick city. She had also boasted how her hometown was the most peaceful place in Ireland, which started the debate; which was better, Cork or Limerick. At the end of the scenic road trip, they parked their car and checked into the hotel. Their room was lovely, with modern wallpaper, a reasonably large TV and a beautiful view of the city.
Eamon, being a bit of a fitness nut, asked immediately where the nearest gym was. Caren laughed and gave him the directions.
"I'll be out in the balcony if you need me! I have to finish this book." she said.
And with that, she slumped down on the decking chair, put on her glasses and started to read. Eamon had no idea how she put up with the heat, but he just went with it.
He left the room and headed for the swivel doors. The lobby was a beautiful example of modern interior design. glass walls faced the street outside, never failing to catch the eye of passerbyers. low coffee tables made of beautiful redwood surrounded by egg chairs sat elegantly, next to the glass walls. The floor was softly carpeted with crimson. Eamon just wanted to lie there, but it would be a tad bit odd.
He pushed through the doors, did a full swivel and headed for the gym. As he ambled towards the gym, taking everything in. All the redbrick apartments, supermarkets and restaurants would be imprinted in his head, as he enjoyed his new favourite town.
But his euphoria was smashed with a growing feeling that there was something very wrong. He pondered on it. How could he suddenly smell danger? He dismissed it. It was a ridiculous thought. Was he turning into a dog?! He forced a smile and continued onto the gym.
But he couldn't shake it. There was something very, very wrong. He knew it. He didn't have anything to lose anything though. He only brought a few clothes and a disposable camera. Nothing to lose.
Then he heard the most horrific earth shattering sound he had ever heard. It was a roar. A huge shadow, like a low flying plane passed over him. Eamon looked up, and his life changed forever.
So how do you like the first chapter? Please review if you like or if you think you know what'll happen next and I'll make the next chapter! I'll give you a hint, Cormac's problem is abut to get a whole lot more devastating! Again review and tell me what you think. Also, this is after "The Last Olympian", so no, the Argo 2 is not in this. ; )
