The Curse of Black Church's Knight
Hello, everyone. I don't know if you forgot me or just started reading this, and if you are starting with this story go read the other stories first. Anyways my name is Cody Matthews, I'm fourteen years old and I live in this small little town called Whitechapel. Whitechapel is one of those towns that you never really hear of, it's one of those towns that people drive through on road trips and never really think about, but this town is more than what you think of. This town is full of things that you wouldn't even imagine it's full of mystery and unknown things. I've been in a battle with some of these dangerous things. I've battled a mage and a genie, I have no idea how I'm still alive, so really Whitechapel is one of those supernatural infested towns.
There is a thing about me that I have never told my family about, this is a dangerous secret that only my friends know about. The truth about me is that I'm a vampire. Yes I'm an evil blood sucker of the night, but really thats a stereotype. Real vampires can go out in the daytime and we have amazing abilities. I'm not going to name all of the abilities but you will see them or read or whatever! Let's just get to the story.
My alarm woke me up in surprise, I groaned from the annoying beeps from the alarm. I pounded the machine almost breaking it and rose out of bed. I got up real slowly and looked into my closet and put on a random outfit to wear to school. School is one of my worst enemies. It's that place where you learn information that you won't use in your life. Well, the information in high school is the information you will never use in your life. After I was done getting dressed I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and went back into my bedroom to grab my backpack. My brother Jacob and my parents didn't seem to be home but someone was in the kitchen eating toaster waffles. It was my best friend Rory.
Rory is one those nerds that even nerds call nerds. He's kind of annoying and doesn't really take things seriously. He's short and skinny and has semi long blonde hair. Rory is also a vampire like me.
"Hey, Rory," I said to him sitting down next to him.
"Hey, Cody, I think you should go to the grocery store, you're almost out of syrup."
"Yeah, Rory how did you get into my house? Vampires can't go into someone's house unless if they're invited in."
"Jacob invited me in."
"How sweet," I said grumbling in anger.
Jacob and I don't really have a loving relationship between each other like most brothers do. I have hated Jacob ever since mom brought him home and said 'This is your new little brother, Cody.' I was only two when Jacob was introduced to the family, but I still remember every single moment of that dreadful day.
"Hey, Rory, I forgot to tell you something," I said.
"Please don't make it boring," he said continuing eating his waffles.
"It's not, I just wanted to remember if today was the first day of spirit day."
"Yeah, it is," said Rory.
"Oh dear," I said groaning.
Spirit week is one of the most annoying weeks of the school year. The school has to judge each year who has the most spirit. I stopped caring about school spirt since seventh grade. I got up from my chair and looked at my watch. We had about thirty five minutes to get to school. Rory finished his waffles a few minutes later and we both grabbed our backpacks and headed out the door. It was around October, just a few weeks before Halloween so the weather was damp and cold, it's almost always like that in Whitechapel. Rory and I caught up with two of our friends Ethan and Benny a few blocks later.
"Hey, guys," I said to Ethan and Benny.
"Whats up, Cody?" said Benny.
"You know the usual, the things that all vampires do."
"Hunting?"
"Yeah, pretty much, what did you guys do last night?"
"I've been doing a little studying last night, and I think I mastered teleportation!" said Benny.
If you don't remember Benny is a spellmaster, he wants to be a level 10 spellmaster but is barely a level 1, I don't really trust all of his spells.
"That's cool," said Rory impressed. "Can you like… take a bunch of doughnuts from the bakery and like… teleport them to your house?"
"Sure," said Benny being sarcastic.
"What's so great about the spell anyways?" I said.
"Just watch," said Benny.
"This will not turn out well," said Ethan.
Benny set down his backpack and took out a medium sized brown leather book. He opened it up to a certain page and started chanting a bunch of words.
"Ad terram longinquam accipere et nos nobis invenire aliquid."
Benny stopped chanting those words and the book started glowing blue. After that the book started making a weird humming sound and a flash of blue light and smoke came making all four of us cough. My eyes were burning from the smoke. After I opened them we seemed to be in this tiny village. There was bunch of people and there were mountains surrounding it. All the shops and everything were written in Chinese.
"Benny, where are we?" said Ethan looking around.
"I think were in China," Benny said real calmly.
"We are so going to be late to school," I said. "Now take us back, Benny."
"Yeah, that might be a little bit of a problem," he said.
"What do you mean?"
"Magic like teleportation takes a lot of energy to make, so we may be stuck here for about two hours."
That sentence made me want to punch Benny in the face. I can't believe Benny would take us 7,000 miles away from home, just to see if he mastered his teleportation spell.
"So what are we supposed to do around here?" I said. "We're on the other side of the world so there has to be something to do."
"Maybe, we can go out into the woods and see if a panda will teach us kung fu," exclaimed Rory.
I bet you know since Rory is a vampire and a super nerd he is not a normal person at all, I can't believe I chose him to be my friend, but he did seem kind of lonely.
"Maybe we can walk around," said Ethan.
We all started walking towards one way and we looked at all of the shops. Small children were running around with small toys in their hands and people were sitting at picnic tables watching sumo wrestling and eating chinese food. Also besides of children running around freely there was also roosters and hens running around, some were in cages dreading to be cooked. We walked down the block a few more feet until we saw a ledge up ahead. We went up to it and looked down. It had the about a 3,000 foot cliff. I could see way at the bottom a bunch of dangerous sharp rocks. We leaned over a little bit and the most horrible thing happened. All four of us started falling. We all fell off the cliff and we were heading for our doom.
UH OH CLIFF HANGER!
