First of all- I know the story of the JaD trilogy so whatever story mistakes I have are on purpose to make the story sound better. R/R
This sucks, I thought as I looked out the window of room gloomily. Right now I could be practicing on my new speeder bike uncle Ben gave to me. Instead I was forced to sit in my room and do nothing. The race was only a few weeks away and I haven't even ridden it yet. How was I, Alex the great (my nickname to myself), going to be a pro if Baron Damas saw me get last place?
I finally made up my mind 10 minutes later. I was going to sneak out and ride in the rain. I grabbed a jacket and raced down the stairs and looked around for my mother. Luckily she was watching a show on TV so I had lots of time. I reached for the doorknob and grasped it slightly.
But before I could turn it the doorbell rang. It surprised me and I stepped back. I turned and saw my mom getting up so I ran back up the steps and hid by the banister at the top. My mom Carroll hurried to the door. She opened it and standing there was a tall man draped in black. You couldn't even see his face from his big black hat because he was looking down, hiding something. He was drenched in water.
He handed a opened box to my mom. She looked inside and gasped. I leaned over and saw a baby inside, about a year old. He crawled and hugged my mom, trying to get some warmth. A croca-dog ran past their legs and the kid laughed. I always wanted a dog but never was allowed to get one. But that didn't matter. The man was talking. "You will take care of him. His name is Mar."
I swallowed a laugh. Mar? That name was hardly ever used because it was so special. This kid didn't look special. "His parents have just passed away" He twitched when he said this and turned to go. He stopped and turned to say, "Don't get used to him." I lost my holding when he said that and my hand slammed down on a step. My mom didn't hear it but the man did. He looked up at me and I saw only his eyes. One was blue-ish but the other was as black as the night with a scratch going through it. I muffled a scream and hid behind the wall. When I turned back again the man was gone into the dark rainy night.
Hope you like this one-first chapter will come soon (this is only a prologue).
chapter 1-preview
Where did this Mar kid come from? Alex has a clue when the newspaper comes out the next day. But his mind is more focused on winning the race next month. Maybe the new zoomer builder can help him.
