Chapter One - The end of what I knew.
Gavin Sullivan was an ordinary 17 year old guy, well ordinary is probably the wrong word, he was an avid sci-fi fan. His friends constantly ridiculed him for it, for the action figures still in their boxes for his collection of novels in shrink wrap on the numerous shelves in his room. But most of all for his prized collection of Halo memorabilia, books figurines sound tracks even a replica energy sword which he constructed himself. Gavin saw nothing wrong with this collection in fact he was immensely proud of it. He wasn't your average everyday sci fi geek, he was active, he practiced Parkour and had taken 6 months of military basic training before dropping out due to family problems. But he continued on with military discipline and exercises, getting up at 5 am for 3 mile runs, full morning callisthenics follwed by breakfast and the rest of his usual routine. This morning he took a break from his routine however, the night before he had attented a house party thrown by one of his friends, and the pounding headache he now sported reminded him why he detested alcohol. Sitting up on his bed Gavin pulled his laptop towards him and navigated to his email inbox, skimming past the usual junk mail and spam he homed in on one new email from his best friend Shaun.
Clicking on the email Gavin idly scratched at his head, once the email had loaded, he skimmed its contents. Apparantly Shaun needed his help at a paintball tournament which was set to take place in 3 hours. Gavin clicked the reply button and typed a short reply saying he would have no problem taking up the empty position in Shauns team, he clicked send and shut down his laptop. Putting it to the side Gavin swung his legs over the side of his bed and stood up wincing slightly at the new pain this caused in his already throbbing head. He quickly dressed and went downstairs, after eating a quick breakfast he grabbed his bag and left a note saying where he'd be going. Looking at his watch he noticed he had an hour to kill, so he decided to take a walk through the city.
He pulled out his Ipod and quickly flicked to the playlist entitled "Running Metal" and sighed in satisfaction as "Runes to my memory" by Amon Amarth started to play through his headphones. Gavin looked up and saw construction barriers blocking his way, cursing with annoyance he turned left and began walking across the road towards an alley, as he reached the centre of the alley he stopped and leaned slightly against a fire escape. Giving a short gasp he leapt away from the shock he received. Rubbing his arm Gavin looked up at the fire escape expecting to see a broken cord or something but instead he saw a large purple build up of energy, cocking his head quizzically he walked towards the writhing sparks of electricity, subconsciously he reached out and touched the now bolts of purple electricity. There was a blinding flash, and then nothing.
