Chapter1
Ean was young typical average, teenager...well as close to average as you can get. Ean had brown hair brown eyes; he was about as tall as any normal teenager and goes to Gold High School.
As the bell rings, Ean opens the door to his locker, a voice asked, "Hey Ean, how's it going?"
"Hey Jarin, not much just getting my science book got a big
test today."
"Hope you pass, I also got a test math."
"Well, see ya "
"See ya"
Jarin is a small teen; he has black hair and brown eyes. He is one of Ean's best friends. As Ean is walking toward his way to class, a huge force comes on top of him making him fall face first to the ground,
but Ean just smiles and says "Hey Mitch how's it going."
"Good, we got that science test today don't we "
"Yep, now Mitch can you please get off of me."
" Oh yea sure sorry about that"
Mitch is a pretty muscled teenager brown hair blue eyes most kids are afraid of him. He is also a one Ean's best friend. When the warning bell rings Ean and Mitch realize they were late and they ran for class.
"Finally, we made it on time for once "
"Hey! Don't look at me it's not always my fault were late." Ean gave him an even look.
"Okay okay it's always my fault." Mitch grinned as he answered. The teacher comes over and stands in front of them, hands crossed. "If you two are done arguing I
would like to start class."
"Yes, ma'am," They spoke at the same time and exchanged smiles. When Ean and Mitch got seated, the teacher announced " class we have a new student make sure you treat her with respect and dignity." Then she gets up and walks to the door and calls the student to come in. She was a small lean girl with long, silky brown hair with clear brown eyes. The teacher introduced her as Renee. All of a sudden Ean feels a very strong thump against his head causing him to hold his head in pain. Mitch's voice pierces through the pain, "Ean, are you okay? "
" Yea I'm fine, I just have a little headache"
"Now Renee would you please take a seat next to Ean. As she get closer Ean's head starts to hurt worse. Ean is thinking what going on with me. I have never had a headache this bad before.
"Hello" Renee said
"Hey, I'm Ean," He said trying to hide the fact that he was in pain.
"I'm Mitch " Ean felt like his head was about to explode and stuttered, "Ah, e-excuse me I g-got to see the nurse, n-nice meeting you."
"Are you okay?" Renee's voice boomed in side of his head and he gritted his teeth.
"Yea, I'm fine" Ean clenched again in pain and runs out of the classroom.
"Where is he going?" the teacher asks.
"He said he had a headache and went to see the nurse," Renee answered, her face pensive as she looked at the door Ean left.
When Ean got to the nurse's office he realized that the pain had vanished "What the heck the pain is completely gone, okay this is getting weird."
When the bell rang, Mitch met Ean at his locker "What was all that
about? Did your head really hurt that bad?"
"It did hurt that bad, but you know what's weird," Ean shut his locker, looking thoughtful, "As soon as I got to the nurse's office my headache just vanished."
"Hey, what's going on?" A voice asked from behind him and he looked to see Jarin approach the two.
"Hey Jarin, we were just discussing the weird thing that happened to Ean during science."
"What weird thing?"
"I had a really bad headache and as soon as I left the classroom it vanished completely."
Suddenly Ean clenches in pain again "Oh no, my headache is back again."
When Mitch looks away from Ean he sees Renee by her own locker and he calls out, "Hey Renee."
"Ouch! Can you not shout? My head hurts"
" Oh sorry," apologized Mitch for the third time that day.
"Hey guys, how are you? Who is this?" She flicked her brown eyes toward Jarin.
" Oh, this Jarin he is one of are friends." Mitch answered, hitting Jarin playfully on the shoulder.
"Mitch! Do you mind?" Ean winced at the loud tone of his voice.
"I didn't even shout that time!" Mitch whined but everyone ignored him, others looking at Ean.
"So you still have a headache?" Jarin asked, voice a soft whisper.
"It was gone for awhile it just came back now," Ean said, giving his friend a grateful look.
"Well, I got to go. See you guys later sometime," Renee said.
"Bye Renee," All three guys echoed and Renee turned and walked away.
Jarin glanced at the clock above the lockers and stated, "We better get home."
Now you would think that Ean, Mitch, and Jarin live in different homes, but actually they live in the same place. They live up in the mountains away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. They live in an abandon mansion, the mansion isn't very old but kind of beat up. As for the inside the boys keep it clean (when they remember). Inside the house are many pieces of furniture, a spiral staircase that goes up to where a lot of rooms with little forgotten things inside and six large bedrooms. The walls are painted dark brown and the whole mansion is carpeted except for the kitchen and the dinning room. Anyways, back to the story.
As Ean, Mitch, and Jarin are walking home, they talk about Ean's weird headache. Now I know what your thinking-what is the big deal? It's just a headache. Trust me, you find out later in the story.
"I never had a headache that starts and ends so instantly." Ean starts, their feet churning up the dirt and dust on the road.
"Ya it's really weird, I never heard of it happening before and I'm studying to be doctor." Jarin replied, careful not to stand in the way of the dirt.
"Know what the really weird thing is that you got a headache every time Renee came around." Mitch said and both Ean and Jarin looked at him with a weird expression and they said, "Huh?"
"What you didn't notice it?"
"That's impossible you don't get a headache from being around a person!" Jarin huffed at the idea. He didn't like it much when something went against what books tell him.
"Come to think of it every time she got close the pain intensified," Ean pondered.
"Oh well. Guess we won't know will we? Were almost home." Mitch hurried as his stomach roared in hunger. Ean and Jarin exchanged amused looks. When they got home they all washed up and sat down for dinner, when something of real importance came up…something that would terrify them. "We're out of food!"
"No we can't be out I just got some more food the other day unless one you two been having some snacks between meals" Ean looked at Mitch and so did Jarin. "You can't go two minutes without something in your stomach can you."
"How did you it was me-I mean how do you know it was me? It could be Jarin!" Mitch said, a guilty expression evident on his face.
"Because it's always you," Jarin sighed "Now what are we going to do without food and money"
"Ouch! My head, the headache is back again!" Ean said, closing his eyes hard against the pain.
"Hey guys, couldn't help overhear that you need money," Renee said as she crawled in through the window.
"Renee what are doing hear and how did you find our house?" Jarin asked amazed.
"Simple, I looked you up in the student directory," answered Renee with a slight shrug of her shoulders.
"Oh I see." Jarin said, still confused.
"So w-what do you want, AH!" Ean muttered through clenched teeth.
"I came to tell you that there is fighting tournament in three weeks and I was wondering if you would like enter."
"W-why should we enter the tournament a-anyway."
"Because the prize is ten million dollars," Renee slid into a chair opposite of Ean as Ean, Mitch, and Jarin's jaws drop.
"T-Ten m-million dollars!" The shock makes Ean forget about his headache.
"But here is the catch they only accept teams of four so I thought why don't I enter with you guys." Mitch and Jarin look at each other and then look at Renee in confusion "You want to enter?""
"Well yea, I thought it might be fun." Renee looked at them slightly hurt.
"Well I'm in." Ean perked up and Renee turned to give him a smile.
"But Ean what about your headaches? Shouldn't we check with a doctor first?" Jarin winced at the thought of how much a doctor's visit would go off.
"No I'm fine." Ean assured.
"Okay then I'm in as well," Jarin stated.
"Don't think your leaving me out," Mitch huffed.
"Good then it's settled from now on we are a team," Renee smiled. As so they were.
The next morning wasn't the most peaceful of morning for Ean and his friends especially if you woke up by a blow horn. "BOOM" Ean hit the floor with his head as he jumped at the noise and fell out of bed. "Oh my head, what the heck is going on? What's that noise?"
"Get up, rise and shine! Time to start your training." Renee lowered the horn and smiled at him. How did she get in?
"Training?"
"Yes-training. Now go get Jarin up." Renee said. She turned her back as Ean jumped out of bed and struggled into day clothes.
"Renee?" He asked as he finished and tapped her shoulder so she could turn back around.
"Yea?"
"Can I get Mitch up and can I barrow your blow horn?"
"Sure why?"
Ean grins and says "Its time for a little payback."
When Ean goes into Mitch's bedroom, the blow horn sounds and he hears Mitch swear and Ean runs out of the bedroom as fast as he can as Mitch chases after him. Jarin looks out his bedroom's door, spots the two, rolls his eyes, and slams the door.
When everyone got downstairs and Ean was saved from being thrown downstairs head first by Mitch, they all met at the at the dining table to discuss their training plan.
"Hey Ean, how's your head?" Jarin asked, munching on the only food they had and drank the only thing they had left as well. Musty crackers and water.
"It's fine I don't know why but the thought of training and fighting in the tournament dulls the pain a lot "
"So how are we going to train are skills?" Mitch asked, drawing a loud 's' noise on the last part of skills.
"Maybe we can train around the mountains and in the forest." Ean suggested.
"Sure let's do that but it's going the most intense training you will ever do in your life." Renee commented and led the way outside.
As they start to go start their training Mitch whispers to Jarin, "Why do I have a feeling that I'm going to regret agreeing to this."
"Yea and have you noticed that Ean and Renee are way too excited about this?"
"All right!" Renee said, hands on hips, "Lets get training!"
"Oh great," groaned Mitch and Jarin.
Then Ean jumps and run into the forest-the training has begun and there is a lot of pain and complaining, but they keep going and they made it through the first day. Later that afternoon as Jarin and Mitch are laying in the grass exhausted and sipping cold water, "Have you seen Ean or Renee?"
"No not since this morning," Jarin said, slapping a mosquito on his arm.
"No way! There still out there they have been at it for five hours." Mitch looked at Jarin amazed. "Did they even come back for water break?"
"Not that I know of, maybe they took some with them." Jarin said, flashing a look at the forest.
Meanwhile in the forest, the two are having their own training. Renee yells, "Come on Ean! You call that a hit!" Ean hits the tree again and again but not to much effect. Renee shrugged, "Okay Ean, if you can't hit any harder than that then I don't think you well be able to enter."
Knowing that, Ean hit the tree again with all his might and something very weird happened-the tree broke in half from the point of his punch. Renee's jaw drops, soon as she snaps out of it she rushes over to Ean and demands, "Are you okay? That must have broken your hand"
Ean flexes his hand and looks at her with confusion, "No, it's fine what happened?"
"You mean you don't remember? You just did it a couple seconds ago!
"Let me see your hand" Renee didn't wait for him to follow but just grabbed his hand and looked at it critically.
"Okay…why?"
"His hand doesn't even have a scratch on it…could he be the one I've been searching for?" Renee thought.
"Uh, Renee are you okay?" Ean asked.
"Oh yea, I'm fine" Renee said as she quickly takes her hand off his. She turns away and starts walking back, saying "Okay Ean we better go back. I think the others are probably getting worried.'
On the way back to meet Jarin and Mitch when Ean asks, "Renee do you have any place to stay?"
"No, why?"
"If you want, you can stay at our place. We have plenty of spare bedrooms you can pick."
"Uh sure…Why not! This is good-this way we can train longer and harder." She says that just as they meet up with Mitch and Jarin and the two both groan inwardly.
A month passes and Ean and friends show up to the place of the tournament. "It's time to win this thing" Ean thought as they walk towards the arena and Ean sees these eerie guys standing on the side looking at them
"I have a weird feeling about those guys over." Ean said seriously, "A very bad feeling."
Ean had no idea that he was going to be right…
