Additional Notes: The story will follow the games to a point but there will be certain changes.
Prologue:
Last Breath
The quiet that filled the chapel was more than a little unsettling, he mused to himself as he slowly rose up the stairs. He wasn't quite at the top yet but already he could see what awaited him on the center platform.
The hairs on the back of his neck rose as he noticed the black Key lying in the middle, waiting to be used by him. A shudder racked his small frame as he considered how she had orchestrated this whole thing and manipulated him in such a way that, even though he knew it was all her fault, he couldn't back out.
With cautious steps he wound his way up the stairwell and onto the round stage where he took his place beside the Key. He stooped down to pick it up and as he did he looked down from his perch where he could just make out three figures wreathed in shadows.
Blue orbs blinked rapidly to ward off the coming tears. "You promise?" He croaked out past a tight throat, his hand unconsciously gripping the blade in his hands even tighter seeking a comfort it couldn't offer.
The shadows flickered in an almost aggravated manner as he spoke out of turn but their wielder addressed him anyways. "Yes boy, I gave you my word." He bit his lip at the almost mocking tone that acknowledged him but said nothing.
This was it.
This was the end.
He took a slow, deep breath, changed his grip on the blade and raised it to chest level with some measure of awkwardness. As he exhaled the key plunged forward and he closed his eyes.
Light rushed across his limited vision before it was swept away in shadows. He could feel himself slipping, falling backwards, but he couldn't put forth the effort to break his fall. In the background a sinister laugh echoed throughout the chapel before he lost all sense of the world.
Sorry guys, looks like it's all up to you now…
And so it begins! I know it's short but it's just the prologue, I plan for the next chapters to be longer by several pages... I'm anxious to hear what you all think so if you wouldn't mind clicking that little button below and leaving me a review, it would be much appreciated.
One last thing to note, there's a poll on my profile that lets you decide in what order a story gets updated. The one with the most votes after two weeks will be the first updated, three to five days later the runner up will be updated and so on…
Happy reading,
Selene's Phantom
