A New Star Gate
Kadence could hear the ocean roar beating in his ears. He rolled over uncomfortably. He quietly sat up in the tiny cot that they had insisted on him to sleep on.
He looked to his right at the nearby clock. The flashing green numbers revealed that is was exactly midnight.
Kadence wiped the sweat off his face and tried to close his weary eyes.
He sighed as he slowly opened them again. A flashback of his dream that he had just seconds ago burned inside his head. There was no way he could sleep thinking of the burnt image.
In his dream, he was in a dark hallway. The floor below him was made of stone and there was no sign of electricity anywhere.
He was holding his gun tightly to his chest as he silently walked through the damp hallway.
All of the sudden, he had heard something moving behind him. He swiftly turned around and aimed a pure air.
It was nothing.
He kept on walking. Finally, ahead of him, a bright light was concealed beyond a door made of oak. He slowly crept upon the mysterious, glowing doorway to the unknown.
Then, he heard the sound of movement behind him again. This time, he slowly turned around. What he faced was horrible.
Standing in front of Kadence, was a large beast. The putrid smell emitting off the creature singed Kadence's nostrils. The beast looked like a human, but with more alien like features.
Its nose had two tentacles about two feet long that wiggled back in forth.
The creature had four arms and only two fingers on each arm. Its legs were muscular, and its feet were built like humans.
The ugly beast seemed to wheeze. Kadence noticed amusement on its horrific face. He was laughing. Then, the thing spoke. "Why, you must be new. Come with me. I will show you great things," it cackled.
Kadence shook his head. The creature reached out towards Kadence's well-built chest.
Kadence felt a burning upon his chest. He unleashed a scream of pain. Then, he crumpled to the floor.
Right before he woke up into reality, he heard the horrible laugh of the beast.
Kadence ripped the covers off him and swung his legs over the cold floor.
Kadence was being held in a research compound in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on an island he did not even know the name to.
It had two months since he had first arrived with the other four descendants, as the Dr. Monganill called them. Along with the Kadence, the other four descendants, and Dr. Monganill, over a hundred of researchers had been swept to the boring island.
When Kadence had first gotten a call from Dr. Monganill, he was just a regular car salesman in a small town. The doctor had told him about a thing called a Star Gate. It was supposed to transport you to different galaxies, planets, and so on.
At first, Kadence was skeptical. The doctor told him that him and many others had found an undiscovered a Star Gate on the island Kadence was being kept at.
He told Kadence that only five descendants of the Ancients could open the Gate and explore the address that the Gate had opened to them. The address was unknown, but they needed to find out.
At that time, Kadence really did not have a life. He had no wife, kids, and really did not have a social life at all.
He accepted and was carried to the island. When he had first seen the Star Gate, he was totally amazed.
It was large and circular and looked for confusing. He had asked Dr. Monganill how exactly the five descendants of the Ancients were going to open, Dr. Monganill had just told him that they were going to find a way.
Kadence was surprised that he had some important blood in him.
Kadence walked to the bathroom and switched on the light. He looked into the mirror and a 28-year-old man stared back. Kadence Stirring had brown hair and crystal blue eyes with a very toned, muscular body.
But at this moment, he looked terrible. He had not gotten any sleep. The dreams were preventing him of any sleep.
He turned on the faucet water and a stream of ice cold water poured out. Kadence cupped his hands and accepted the water into his hands. He rubbed it on his face and walked out of the bathroom after turning off all the things.
He was in a room with another person, another descendant. The man was quietly sleeping, and every once in a while; he would turn over to the other side. He too was sleeping on one of the small cots.
The man was black with sharp Asian features. He was about the same age and height of Kadence, but he did not have the same body shape as Kadence. He was slim and in shape, but he was not muscular.
The man's name was Silo. He was one of the first descendants that Kadence had met. Silo was very intelligent, and seemed to have skill with a gun.
All of the descendants had been trained with a gun when they first got to the island. Kadence was getting good. He probably had the best aim.
He gently got into the cot, trying not to make a peep. Silo was not a deep sleeper.
But something startled Kadence and Silo at the same time. A boom had woken Silo up and it made Kadence quickly jump out of the bed again.
Silo rubbed his eyes and grabbed his gun on the floor beneath is bed.
Kadence also did too. "What was that?" Silo asked with his deep, thick accent. Kadence shrugged and said quickly, "Let's find out."
