Here's chapter 1. Where the story really begins. I hope you guys like this so far!

Chapter 1:
DEATH AND DREAMS
~A boy stood in a room, his eyes grew wide, his blue ryes turning a bright gold.
"Air and shadow,
Together as one,
Will save the world,
Easier said then done.
Light will leak through,
Trying to vanquish the shadow,
It's an ingredient to trouble's brew.
Unless air can stop it,
Light will claim her as his own,
And shadow will despair,
And evil seeps through his bones."
The voice echoed, coming from the boy. The gold in the boy's eyes burned bright and slowly turned to dancing flames.~
Max woke up with a start. She was drenched in sweat, her heart pounding. She was the Resistance leader, she would not get freaked out about dreams, she scolded herself. Max conjured a breeze to help her stop sweating.
One thing you should know about this world is that everyone has powers. Max has power over the air. The boy with the black hair has control over shadows. Don't worry. You'll see him soon.
I am Death. Not Satan or the devil, nor a demon who curses innocent people. I take people's souls when it is their time. It's not your time, or Max's time. Yet. I know when to collect you, and it is not close to that time. But Jose Divane, let's say you have until this tale is over, right? Or maybe it's the end of the chapter? Well, it's soon.
Anyway, Max woke up sweating. Along with the death gig, I get to see nightmares and fears. And while I passed Max's window that night, the dream had scared her to death. Not literally because then I wouldn't have to tell you this story.
While Max was trying to calm her fears with the wind, a boy who hated the Resistance and all Maximum Ride stood for woke from a dream. Exactly like Max's, I might add.
His name was Fang. You might recall him from earlier. The boy who specializes in shadow magic. Ari's new recruit. But that was three years ago. He is sixteen now and one of Ari's most trusted spies.
You might be wondering who Ari is and why there is a Resistance against him. Well, Ari took control over the country five years ago, and now he may just have control over the world. He was the reason why everyone has powers. Ari wants to make the world into a place where children and their mothers hide in fear at all hours of the day. The fathers worked to death. The teenagers forced to sell out anyone who does anything out of line. No one knows this though, except Ari and me. Ari clearly isn't telling anyone and who is Death going to tell? Cupid and Life won't listen to me, afraid of their own deaths while they're immortal. Ha!
Anyway, all Ari needs to do is destroy a prophecy before it happens. The same prophecy in Max and Fang's dream.
Ari needs to prevent the air and shadow from meeting, and he believes he can play the shadow like an Atari. Or is it a Wii now? I feel like Captain America... So- I don't know- out dated, I guess.
Do you want to know the rest of the story? But just remember, I am Death. Death brings sadness and despair, so why should this story have nothing of this?
I curse my past self. This is so shitty, it isn't even funny. At least the pre-written chapters are almost over. Chapter 5 will be a new leaf!
