Puppet Soldiers
Chapter 1
It was a stormy night at the Bodega Bay Inn. The rain was coming down hard as 18 year old Jake Toulon roamed the Inn out of boredom. Jake Toulon is considered follower rather than a leader. He has flawless skin and baby blue eyes. His physical appearance looks more feminine than manly since he doesn't have the "big muscles" like what most guys get to attract girls. He normally wears any t-shirt he can find, but his favorite was a silvery owl t-shirt. He always wears skinny jeans no matter what most people say about him looking feminine.
When he was in school, he got picked on by all the jocks because one of the jock's girlfriends has a major crush on him. That caused lots of problems since he keeps getting beat up for it. When he was a week before turning 18, his parents died in a suspicious car crash and in their will, they wrote that at the age of 18, he will get the Bodega Bay Inn as well as the puppet trunk. That trunk, he knew, meant a lot to his family and he knew why.
It was said that his great, great grandfather Andre Toulon had put a spell on his puppets to bring them to life and help him in getting revenge on the Nazi, Major Kraus, for killing his beloved Elsa, Andre's wife. He even went as far as putting her soul into a puppet that he had made for her. After getting his revenge, Andre escaped Nazi Germany using Kraus's passport and went to Bodega Bay Inn, California. Unfortunately, the Nazis found him and right before they could catch him, Andre Toulon committed suicide, hiding the secret of the puppets forever. Now he was given both the hotel and the puppets as his parent's last wish. He remembered how much he loved playing with those puppets when he was little. There was something so magical about them.
As he walked, he noticed a familiar shadow in front of him. "Blade, what are you doing here?" Jake asked. Of course the puppet couldn't speak, but instead hissed at Jake. Jake understood that the puppet only wanted him to be safe from any danger. Jake sighed, moved a strand of his beige hair to the side. He knew that he couldn't make the puppet change its mind. "Alright", He said, "you can come with me." He then picked Blade up and placed the puppet on his shoulder, avoiding the sharp knife and hook in place for the puppet's "hands".
Suddenly, there was a loud banging coming from the front door of the hotel. Jake rushed over to the door (making sure Blade didn't fall off) and opens the door. There stood a boy around 13 holding a small action figure in his arms. "Hi, my name Allen and…do you mind if I stay here for a while."
