Chapter One
It was dark outside, around three A.M. I couldnt really sleep. I sat there in front of my computer listening to music, letting my mind drift away from me. Living without anyone but my mom in this house, everything is normally quiet, I decided to leave. I threw on my white boots, white sweat pants and sweat shirt along with a white trenchcoat over-top. I picked up my phone and called Bob. Bob is my best friend, we only knew each other for a year here in Virginia before his dad needed to move to Florida for a job, so I call him alot at nine or on the weekends and we talk for hours upon hours.
"Hey Bob," I 'greeted' him
"Yeah, what you need? You know, you're probably gonna wake my parents up idiot" he told me.
"Yeah sorry, I didnt think of it. Just lettin you know I'm on my way to go take the train to Florida, so I'll see you tommorow." I told him.
"Alright, see ya," he replied.
"Bye."
And then we both hung up. I grabbed my wristband and put it on, I called it the 'all-night band' because whenever I had it on my arm, it kept me up as long as I needed, and gave me energy. I grabbed my bookbag, put my Laptop in it which was all I needed my bookbag for really, I grabbed my iPod and cut it on then I grabbed my two weapons; my swords, 'Agni & Rudra' and my shotgun and headed off.
Now, I may seem like your ever day normal kid, but I'm not, and neither is Bob. We're both half demons, but we hide our powers from our parents and dont normally find use for them at all, it makes life even more dull this way.
I took a long walk to the train station and got on, it was around four twenty now, and I figured I wouldnt need the wrist band anymore, so I took it off and put it in my bag.
Five fourty I woke up to loud screams "Holy crap, whats going on?" "Oh my God what is that?!!" Those were some of the things I heard. I had no idea what was going on, I heard footsteps running across the top of the train, and then bullets flying through the metal, it didnt make sense, whoever was doing this was a frickin psycho, why would you wanna hijack a train, the only reason I'm using it is because I paid for it.
I went from out of my cabin and ran to the back of the train, and got on to the top of it, just like where a good old battle would take place. I pulled out my Cerberus with my shotgun attached to my back, and there he was, in all red, this man who had been following me for a while now. I mean, everywhere I go I can almost feel him around me, it's been goin on since I got my powers. I could tell by now that he was a quicksilver with how quickly he could get around me. Since he had the power to slow down time, it sped him up. But I'm also a trickster, so I also can get around him easily also, but he was a tough opponent.
"Alright," I said to him as I looked him in the eyes, "I'm freakin sick of seeing you EVERYWHERE I go, so I'm gonna have to end this crap here." I got ready to attack.
"Ha ha ha" he laughed, "you think its fun following and watching you? Well I'm sick of it too, but its my job, now, it's time to take you out and get this finished." He pulled out a sword I'd never seen before, it was freaking huge, and he had two pistols equipped, like Bobs Ebony and Ivory.
"Yeah! Now that's what I'm talkin about" I ran towards him with my weapon in my hand.
"Son of a-" I murmerd. The son of a gun got right next to me faster than I could even reach him halfway. He threw his sword into his left hand and punched me almost as hard as he could, almost throwing me off of the train, but luckily I regained my balance and jumped as high as I could, equipping my shotgun and jumped over him while shooting, of course he managed to avoid my shots.
"That the best you got?" He taunted me.
"...Dangit!" I realized how tired I had gotten after the adrenaline had died out.
He laughed and started to lecture me, "well, I'm done playing for now, I'll see you again soon though." He dissapeared, like always.
"Crap!" I punched the train in anger "God I hate him, still, I need to figure out how I can kill him, and what did he mean by 'every person like you is assigned a demon, and an angel'? I was frustrated, I went back into my cabin, the people had finally calmed down by now, I went back to sleep.
I woke up, it was nine A.M. and the train was stopping. I yawned and waited for the train, and made my departure. I cut my iPod on, put my A&R in my bag, with my shotgun still on my back, looked around and said to myself, 'the worst part about now having a drivers license...' I'm only thirteen, I cant drive, so I had to walk all the way from here to Bobs house, it was about a two hour walk.
I finally showed up at his house. Everyone was asleep, so I went in Bob's room, dropped down on the floor, and fell asleep. I woke back up at eleven and went downstairs and walked into the kitchen and Bob, notcing me, said, "morning, I'm sure coming here was fun?" He laughed.
"More 'fun' than usual," I told him as I grabbed apple jacks and all the "neccesesitys" for eating cereal, since I still loved it, "that freaking guy showed up AGAIN, man I'm sick of him."
"You mean, that quicksilver guy?" He asked, he'd heard about him alot from me, but Bob had never seen him.
"Yes, maybe your gunslinging will help me beat this guy, we just need to work together." I told him.
"Very true.." He replied and continued, "so, give me details, what exactly happened?"
"Alright," I said, "I was in the middle of sleeping when I woke up with everyone yelling and I heard footsteps comming from the top of the train, then bullets came down, hitting down quite a few people, which I dont get why it didnt stop the train..Weird..."
"That is weird, who knows why they wouldnt, continue" he replied.
"Then I went up to fight him, he won again, and told me he'd see me again then said 'to everyone like you is assigned a demon and an angel' I didnt quite get that.." I told him.
"Yeah, well, next time he annoys you, we'll get him for sure." He said.
I laughed and said, in a sarcastic way, "I'm sure." And continued eating.
