The chapters are going to be short just to let you know and the disclaimer is on chapter one.
Present Day
Two figures stood at the edge of a dark black river. The river was pitch black and frothy almost like tar giving off a sort of evil aura. One of the figures could almost blend in with the imperfect background. He was dressed in black, black, black, had black hair and dark eyes, he looked around fourteen. The other figure stood in a manner that gave the impression that he was unsure of himself. He was wearing a plain t-shirt and dark washed jeans, taller than the other boy and maybe around sixteen or seventeen. The two were intently talking to each other. Finally it seemed like they came to a decision and the older boy walked slowly up to the river. He glanced back uncertainly at the other boy and got a reassuring nod. Slowly and ever so carefully he stepped into the water of the river. Going down deeper until the river covered his head, he disappeared and he knew no more.
One Year Ago
Footsteps pounded down the dark streets of New York. Three children rounded a corner, desperately searching for a place to hide. Not far after them came a tall man, well at first he appeared a man, but as he got closer the humanity of him seemed to fade away. He appeared more of animal than person; he was definitely muma pădurii (1). Seemingly half lion and half human. One of the children stumbled, a girl, and the monster surged forward onto her. Just as the monster got to her the boy with dark hair ran forward and took out a gleaming sword that was certainly not there before. He charged the monster and it immediately fell back. The girl got up and dusted herself off then pulled out a knife made of the same material. Both fought to drive the monster back while the third stood gazing in awe surely not expecting this. Finally the monster backed away seeming to back down and the two turned and help the awestruck boy trying to unfreeze him to run. But none saw the monster come closer until it was too late, the monster fired a sharp, gleaming star from nowhere and it hit the boy in the point of his unguarded back. Poison was evident as it hit him, he immediately slumped forward. The girl only just realizing what had happened, grabbed him and set him down, then ferociously attacked the monster until it dissolved into dust. Kneeling beside the boy, she gripped him tightly while treating his wounds. But soon all was lost. The other boy had finally come out of his oblivious state and was now kneeling beside the girl. His features were the almost same as the dying boy, but the eyes was what was different. The kneeling boy had hazel eyes while the injured had piercing green eyes. Now the piercing eyes were slowly closing and his last words on his lips were slowly fading away. 'I love you' was barely audible then with a shudder he lay silently. The kneeling girl leaned over his motionless and kissed his lips one last time slipping a gold coin of a sort in his hand. Her sobs barely even mingled with the loud New York city.
(1) Muma padurii is a roman version of the piper and is portrayed is very ugly, so in Rome sometimes instead of saying ugly they say someone is muma padurii.
