Eternal Darkness

Chapter one: Blackout

Attention all students please remain in class. Your parents are being notified should be here shortly. In the meantime, please remain calm. * the monitor turned off*

* kids chatting in the background*

" Hey, how long is this gonna take?"

" How the hell am I supposed to know?"

* chatting continues*

~ meanwhile in the back of the room~

" Hey kid, you have any idea what's going on?" Said Soul.

After hearing remaining been called, I turned my attention to Soul. " No, I'm clueless like you."

" Don't worry you guys I'm sure its just temporary or it could be just a test." Maka said trying to reinsure us.

" I don't think I can handle blackouts."

" Don't worry Crona." Maka a patted his shoulder.

" Why are you guys freaking out over a blacked out?" Shouted Black Star.

" We're not freaking out you idiot."

" I wonder what's taking my dad so long?" I said looking at my watch.

" Don't worry Kid, I'm sure he'll be here soon." Said Soul.

An hour after the announcement most of the children were at home however, three still remained. Maka, Soul, Kid, and Black Star.

" Something's wrong here. My father should have been here by now." I looked at my pocket watch once more.

I looked around a room and noticed I wasn't the only one worried. Black Star however, was still cool despite the situation. I really don't understand that guy.

" Come on guys, let's just go home."

" We can't do that Black Star." Said Maka.

" She's got a good point dude. We were told to stay here."

Suddenly the classroom door opens there stood Sid. " Maka, soul, and Kid, you guys can go home. Lord Death said it was OK."

" FINALLY!" Yelled Black Star.

Upon leaving the school the kids discovered something very disturbing. Everything around them had a hue of green.

" What the hell?" Said all the kids in sync.

Off into the distance they could see a tower. It was a very strange structure and it was taller than any other building in the city. Suddenly, they all heard a roar behind them.

" What the hell was that?" They all said.

" I don't know but let's get out of here" I said.

All the kids ran home without pausing to look behind them. Even the mighty Black Star didn't stop. None of them spoke of what happened that day but little do they know this was only the beginning.
