Prologue: These Last Hours
The house was silent as I sat on the floor, book in one hand and digital alarm clock in the other illuminating the pages. It was night, which means I should be sleeping, but I just had to know what was coming next how the two brothers were going to get out of this mess. Just as the fight was coming a climax the soft beeping of the alarm pulled me back to reality, letting me know that it was time and I quickly reset it to when I had to wake up.
Quiet as a whisper I crept out of my room and down the hall to the stairs where I stealthily made my way down. When I finally reached the last step I listened closely for any out of place sounds. Not hearing anything I slowly opened the front door and crept outside gently shutting it behind me. Taking a deep breath of the cool night air I relished in being bathed in the gentle glow of the full moon. A familiar scent came to me from the shifting winds, the only one that ever greeted me during my late night excursions. As I raced across the yard a grin spread across my face in anticipation.
The hours passed unnoticed, but when the stars began to fade I crept just as silently back inside and up the stairs into my room. I tiredly crawled into bed and fell asleep almost instantly, never knowing that the last of my ordinary days were coming to an end.
