First Arc : Chosen Path

Chapter I : The New Messiah

Ethan's POV

I was walking. Don't ask me where... This place was strange. Yeah. A small white room, so small that a bed couldn't even fit in it. Three steps, it's all that took me to see all around the room. A wooden chair was placed in the center, waiting for some kind of unexpected guest. I felt a gust of wind and the noise of footsteps reached my ears. I slowly turned to see who was now sitting in this old chair. A man, around my father age, was staring at me with such an intensity that a shiver ran down my spine. He had blue-grey eyes and they were piercing through my soul right now. With his finger, he motioned me to come. I gulped; I was scared to death for my defense. But somehow, my feet found a way to obey his silent order by themselves. When I was few inches, I could saw his lips tremble. Curious, I put a knee down the floor and leaned in to hear him more clearly.

" Ethan, you are my successor. You have to become the messiah of this generation of darkness. You have to save them all " I heard him whisper in my ears.

Before I could react, his skinny hand reached for my shoulder. Electricity ran through my body and everything went blank. I woke up in my bedroom filled with darkness. I sniffed the air and growled. Benny had apparently forgotten his socks and the smell was killing me. If Sarah was there, I was positive she would have fainted before stepping into my house. I looked at my watch. Only four in the morning. Well, I wasn't sleepy. Actually, I was full of energy and I always have one think in mind, better say only one person. Sarah. As I though her name, her face popped in my head. Her smile was so bright that it made me dizzy. If I could have her smile at me like that every minute, every second of her eternal life, I know I'll be the happiest man in the whole universe. I walked to my desk and took everything I need to draw. My new masterpiece will be finished before the first period. I had to give it to her.

Beautiful. Even with my best efforts, this drawing couldn't do her justice. Sure, I was in love and, matter of fact, not objective. But, you have to admit that noting in this world could compare to her beauty. And those eyes. Every time I stared at those eyes, I've lost hold of reality. I'll damned myself if I could feel her soft brown hair slipped through my fingers. What can't she understand the meaning behind my blushing face, the reason why I strutter when I try to speak my mind? Was it so hard to hear the silent ''I love you'' that my quick heartbeat scream every time she walked across me? Why was she so blind? If I could, I would get angry at her for being so clueless. I ran down the stairs, thinking about the smile she'll give me later. I was so far away from reality that I didn't hear my mother and sister coming down. I snapped out of my reverie when I felt the cold floor on my back.

" If you don't eat anything, get out of here, lover boy. I don't want to be sick so early in the morning " said Jane with a disgusted expression plastered on her face. How could an 8years old girl be so venomous ?

I was way too happy to care about her teasing. So I stood up, took my bag and walked out of my house, still smiling. I think I heard someone say I was zombified... That was not so far from the mark. But when I heard the loud cracking sound, I remembered my dream. The weird feeling coursed through my body once more. Somehow, I could sense this was nowhere near from ordinary. Well, my life had never been since I turned 15. But you could see where this was going, right? There was something fishy about this dream. Thinking about it, this didn't feel like I was dreaming. I could bet my life on it, I met this man yesterday night and, as if this wasn't strange enough, I could swear this wasn't the first time. Well this wasn't going to disturb me more than that. Why? Cause I heard the familiar sound of an engine approaching. It was so hard to refrain myself from turning around. I waited, my heart beating faster and faster, for my daily morning smile. And I heard it, the bell announcing an angel's descent.

" Hi, Cuddle Bear " said Sarah, her face literally lit up when she saw my lop-side smile. Could I have a chance?

" Hey! Exactly who I wanted to see " I said, blushing after I realized what I said.

She gave me a confused look before leaning to open the door to the passager side. I get in and open my bag, looking for my masterpiece. When she understood that she was going to get another present, I get the so awaited smile I wanted. I gave her a ''don't thank me now'' look, before I handed her the drawing. My hand slipped. She reached for the sketchbook I let fall. My fingers brushed hers. I was waiting to be send in a vision. But, in Sarah's eyes, I saw my owns eyes, turned blue-grey as hers were completely clouded. My vision blurred and a scene that I didn't recognize occurred before me. It wasn't a vision, I was positive about it. I felt more like some kind of share time. She was laying in her room writing in her diary. I could tell because I saw it last time she let me in, she almost killed me for trying to read it. She was smiling and my heart was melting at her sight. She closed her diary, rolled on her bed like a little girl. Then, she sighed and mumbled something, again and again. But, I couldn't comprehend what she was saying. So I tried to come closer. That was apparently a bad idea, cause I was pushed back by an invisible wall and forced back into reality.

She jerked her hand and blushed uncontrollably. But I couldn't see a thing. My head started to ache as soon the contact has been broken. My hands ran through my hair as I tried in vain to ease my pain.

" Ethan? Ethan, are you alright? "

She sounded worried but I couldn't even comfort her, I couldn't even speak. I was suffocating. I closed my blue-grey eyes shut, chanting in my hand, thinking about the only thing that could dull all this suffering. As if she could read my mind, Sarah's hand reached for my cheeks. My whole body froze but the pain cooled down. I started to breath again. But my heart was still running like a wild fire.

" What was that " we asked each other in unison.

I looked at her, confused and deep inside, terrified. Was this my doing? If it was, did my powers just went out of control? Answers didn't matter. The fact was that Sarah was dragged in and I couldn't let it happen again. I got out of the car and ran straight to my house, leaving all my stuff there. This was the first time i though ditching would do me good...

How did you like it? At first, I was going for a cliffhanger. But it would have been too short. I hope it wasn't too bad. Anyways, all coments, good or bad, are welcome. Now, I got to go. You know, write the next chapter. See you guys later !
