Ok, I've been working on this for some time now. I don't really like this "Prologue" but I felt it needed something more. It's pretty short, but it is just something I through together in the last 30 minutes or so. I hope you enjoy enough to review at the end!
The First of the Last Seconds
I see his cruel face beneath his hood.
The same cruel face that killed the man that now lay at the bottom of the stairs.
I hear him ask me to step aside. I can here a child's cry.
I wonder who it could be.
I wonder why a child should be crying.
Why a mother isn't their for him.
I want to help him but all I see are those cruel eyes.
He's in my head. A voice tells, no, orders me to move aside. He wants to hurt the baby? I can't let him do that. No I won't. I WON'T.
Suddenly things come into prospective. That child IS my son.
He's here for my son. I need to save him. But it's too late.
We're both going to die. He's going to kill my child, and there is nothing I can do about it. I want to reach to the child I call my son.
Everything is moving so fast, yet so painstakingly slow.
I see an arm come up with a wand in hand. I see the mouth move and wand swish.
I see the steady green flash of light as it creeps towards me.
And then it hits me.
I feel my mouth open in a wordless scream.
I feel as each part of my body starts to go numb. My legs collapse under me. As I do so, my body twists and I look into the eyes of my son. His green eyes, just like the ones I see every time I look in the mirror.
And in those last seconds I feel myself shutting off.
I see memories pass before my eyes. I see myself receiving my letter that got me into the finest school; I see the times I spent with my friends.
But suddenly they seem to fly right by. I feel like it's all getting sucked into some black hole and I can't stop it!
Then as if by will, it slows. I can see a younger, more worry free version of myself. I'm walking through a train station.
It's as if I am truly there.
The smells, the feeling of pushing my luggage. It's all so real...
Ok.... definatly did not like the ending to this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think!
