Hey guys/gals, This is my first story, so any feedback is nice. Enjoy
The man's name was John Clark, someone easily lost in a crowd, but not someone to underestimate. John stopped by a window, and looked in the reflection, to see a man in a cloak with glowing blue eyes appear behind him. He whipped around to see no-one there.
"I must be losing my mind" he whispered to himself. None the less, he made sure his pistol was easily accessible, and that the vial was safe. He walked to the nearest allyway, just to see the man again, standing at the end of the ally. He pulled out his pistol and shot, just for the man to disappear in a column of smoke.
He slowly walked forward, and saw a note laying on the ground. He opened it slowly, and looked at it. It was blank, he then turned it over, and that side was blank as well. He was just about to throw it away, when something on the bottom of the page caught the light and shined in his face. He looked closely at it, to see very small calligraphy in the bottom corner of the page."Beware" What what was more surprising then magically appearing writing, was the fact that it looked like it was written in a gold like ink.
"Could this day get any weirder?" he asked himself. He decided that he had to get the vial to his buyer soon, and then he could take a nice vacation somewhere where he wouldn't have to worry about any of this weird crap. He hailed a taxi, and sat in the back. He looked out the window at the tall buildings passing. He was looking at all the stuff in the widows, when he saw the man standing in the window of a empty store.
Then, the man started to flash, and he was in every window they passed. John pulled out his pistol and told his cabbie "I'll pay double if you get us there in 10 minutes". But when he looked in the rear view mirror, all he saw was a pair of glowing blue eyes. He pointed his gun at the man sitting in the front seat and yelled "Who are You!?"
Then a voice from beside him said "That is the question isn't if?" John turned around to see the man who he had been seeing, sitting right beside him. He turned around and open fire, at least, he tried to. He looked at his pistol to see that the clip had been removed."Looking for this?" the man said and he held up the clip to his gun and shook it around.
"What do you want from me?" John asked scaredly." It's not about what I want" the man said, "but what what He wants" putting emphasis on saying He, as if that answered the question.
"Who wants me, and what does "He" want from me?"
"Why Chaos of course. But as for what he wants, he wants peace, but sadly for you, we can't have that as long as the little vial you have with you is around." He said seriously.
"You can have the vial! Take it!" John said "Just leave me alone and you can have it!"
"Sadly I just can't take it", The man said," I need to take you out of the picture as well to keep others safe" And before John could say anything, the man touched his head and he slammed into the car door. He was dead, but no-one would know it, because he would disappear before anyone noticed.
All of a sudden, the cabbie re-appeared and said "where were we going sir?" And the man flipped down his hood and said " How about around the block, I'll pay double" Then he smiled his signature lopsided smile and looked out the window, watching the wind blow leaves down the street. "It's good being home", the Percy whispered to himself.
