OK, just so you readers know, this is not a fanfiction. I just wanted people to read and review my ideas and stories. Please do not flame. If you must flame, please use kind words. I do not accept reviews that are hurtful.
This is based on a dream that I had recently. Along with acting, I wish to be an author, maybe even go to a college for literature after I finish acting school. But this is all mine, and I did not steal anything from anyone, because that would be plain rude.
Much support comes from DivineJudgement. Dude, without you, who am I?...
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the prologue to my story, Jeweled Nights. (Science Fiction, Romance, Horror, Comedy)
Prologue
A dark figure paced the hard, cold floor. A dim light came from the room across the hall. Multiple rooms -dorm rooms- opened silently as the figure walked past. Fearful faces watched in shock and horror, praying silently that everything will be alright.
The figure reached the far room. A giant glass globe was lit, giving off a haunting yet gorgeous light.
The figure looked past the glass globe at another figure. "You know what this globe does, do you not?" The first figure questioned. The voice was clearly male, much older and wiser than the other figure.
The other scoffed, "I think everybody at Greenwood Hall knows." The other stepped forward, revealing their identity. It was another male, around his early twenties, maybe nineteen-years-old.
His cinnamon colored hair was tousled and sticking in every direction. His almond eyes weren't so friendly against his tanned skin.
"I thought you were dead. But I guess I was wrong, Cedric Restej." The elder man said smoothly.
Cedric scoffed once more, "You know old man, I have something you don't. When you are locked away in a prison for 5 years, you learn something: you can learn the weaknesses of your enemies. So, while I was away for a little 'vacation', I got myself a little souvenir…"
Cedric pulled out a jewel, the size of his palm. The elder's eyes widened, then he change his reaction, showing fierceness and anger.
Cedric laughed, "Whoa, easy there. I'm just going to slip this into its proper place." His voice was overflowing with lies.
"Its proper place is The Center Hall, which has been lost in this universe for an entire century." The elder spoke. Cedric shrugged, "Well, things change. Things change, whether you like it or not." He spat.
Without warning, Cedric dropped the jewel. It shattered into glimmering pieces, all across floor. The elder gasped. His life depended on that jewel…
Lights flew from the shattered pieces. Some moaned others were silent: they were Spirits, the protectors of Greenwood Hall. They rightfully lived in Center Hall, but how did Cedric get a hold of the jewel?
Cedric smirked, "You see? Even the worst villain can be tough to beat." And with a wave of his hand, a strong and screeching-like noise was released, causing the innocent people of Greenwood Hall to fall to the ground.
The elder dropped to the ground, covering his ears. He felt a warm liquid on his hands. He knew that it was blood. The metallic smell nauseated him. He collapsed; too much blood drained, and he lay there, dead.
Cedric moved his hand to stop the strong power. He stepped over the elder, and walked out of Greenwood Hall. He noticed that the floor became more slippery. He looked down and saw blood run from under the doors. "I knew it would work…Let's see that Glass Globe shine now."
As he exited, the Glass Globe's light was less bright. Each time it grows less bright, each time one of the Protector's –one of the Souls- died.
The shattered pieces began to float up, and slowly, each piece went closer to the Glass Globe. One at a time, the pieces vanished, now leaving this world, into our world…
Each piece must be found. Someone must find them by the next decade, or the Protectors will be gone forever, and horror will reign…
But that will all be solved…when Cassie Birds finds the first piece…
OK, so this will later be edited, since I can change some things around so the story can make more and more sense along the way.
