Chapter 1:

Location: Southern Nevada

As a muscular looking figure starts going towards the gas station, "he" then spotted flashing lights towards his left which is a police car that pulled over a driver for something. "He" then went to that spot.

Police Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over sir?

Driver: No, not really. Why? (trying to sound innocent but failing miserably)

Police Officer: You were going too fast, nearly 30 miles over the speed limit. And for that, I'm going to do a DUI test (I'm not sure what it's called, so forgive me for that.)

Driver: Oh c'mon officer-... what the hell??

As he said that, the Police Officer then spotted a very muscular man with no clothes coming towards them who then panicked and tried to pull out his weapon to question the man.

Police Officer (as he draws out his gun): Who are you! Put your hands up in the air where I can see them!

But the man did not comply and kept on moving towards them, only did the officer tried to shoot him, only to be caught in a chokehold by the man suddenly from running up to him and then was dead after his neck was snapped. While the pulled over driver could only look at the man in horror, and then got terrified when he started coming towards him and then strangely put up his right index finger before his face which then started to get...pointy? Only to then realize that the finger was then formed into a sharp knife-like object and then was stabbed through the head.

The muscular man then dumped the bodies of the 2 people that he just murdered off onto the side, but took the Officer's clothes and equipment with him. Who then drove off in the police vehicle off towards Jasper, Nevada. But making sure that he gets some gas before he leaves.

Location: Jasper, Nevada.

POV: Jack Darby.

*Jack's thoughts*

Man, I'm freaking tired as heck. I really should get some sleep. *But before he could go to bed, he heard some beeping from his technologically advanced laptop that he stored in his corner* Better check it out I suppose...wait, WHAT!?!?! Another time vortex opened up? I have to let mom know, but Arcee might eavesdrop on our conversation though, but I have to let mom know, as well as John and Sarah!

*As Jack strolled towards the living room, he still noticed that his mom's not at home yet and still at work*

Jack: Well, I better give mom a call about this situation and fast!

*Jack then starts scrolling down his contacts list and when his mother came up, he clicked on it as quicked as he can while going up to his room while making sure to turn off all of the lights along with making sure he has his shotgun with him that he kept*

Jack: Mom! I have very bad news!

June: What is it, Jack? I won't be leaving work until midnight.

Jack: Apparently another time vortex appeared on the laptop. And the thing is, it's in Southern Nevada which is about 20 miles from here!

June: I do hope you're joking but get your items ready and if someone knocks on the door do not answer, even if it's a police officer. Understand okay? I'll let John and Sarah know about this event happening, I do hope they're safe though.

Jack: Okay mom, I'll do my best to stay low, but what about school though?

June: You'll have to miss school for the time being, and do not go tomorrow. We're going to make a fake excuse for being sick all of a sudden, alright?

Jack: Alright mom, I understand.

*As Jack settled in for the night, he kept his weapon on his bedside to make sure if something special happens, he can defend himself quickly. But what he did not know about was Arcee being able to hear his conversation on the phone due to enhanced hearing auditorials.*

(Arcee's thoughts)

What is Jack not telling me? What exactly is a "time vortex" and that laptop that he has, it has very loud beeps as well, but who is Sarah and John that his mother's talking about? I guess I'll find out myself when I have the time. I just need a good recharge now.

Hello everyone, sorry for the long wait, with all that's going on right now, from being busy in school (8th grade) to the point of self-quarantining ourselves from this new Chinese virus pandemic. I do hope and pray that this will be over soon though, and stay safe while using common sense. But also help me with a couple of reviews of what to improve upon my writing skills, because I'm a dum-dum, but tell me of what to improve and no flames please. Peace and stay safe.
