Chapter 1: Strange Man

I live in a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. My mother and father died in a fire on my eleventh birthday. So I live on my own and the foster care is giving me money so I can live. At this time it is 1:30pm, and I was getting ready for school. Ok, I know what you're thinking, I'm lucky to go to school that late in the day. I get the same school hours as everyone else.

Anyway I was packing my book bag when a man broke open my door. His hair was as black as the night sky, and eyes that were the color of a crystal. He wore black attire, including his leather shoes. What I found strange about him was that there was blood coming out of his nose.

"Please help me?" The man said this while walking up to me and placing his hands on my shoulders. He looked like he was in panic.

"Who the heck are you and what are you doing in my house?" I asked as his grip on my shoulders tightened. He needed to explain things.

"My name is Famon and I am here because you need to be protected."

"Ok Famon, what are you talking about?"

"I am saying that there are things out there." I turned my head to look out the window that was behind me. All that I saw was the regular scenery, the beach, sea, trees, and the blue sky. I turned around to face him.

"You aren't making any sense Famon." Famon looked from the window and back at me.

"You have to come with me." Right then and there I took his hands off of my shoulders. Then I looked him right in the eye.

"No, I'm not coming with you and to tell the truth I think that you are a complete whack job."

"You really need to come with me. If you don't then you'll-"That was when I cut him off.

"NO! Now leave me alone! Also get out of my house!" By the look of his face I think I was able to get to him.

"All right then, good luck with the apocalypse." Those were the only words he said before walking out the room.

About five minutes after the incident I had gotten all of my school stuff together and headed out of my house that now had no door, and walked to the sidewalk that was in front of the hotel. Before I even realized it, that same man came up behind me and hit me with a solid metal object that was capable of knocking me out.
