please enjoy the story so far.
chapter one: falling
it felt like my body was convulsing i couldn't breath or speak i couldn't even see. there was just darkness. maybe i deserved this. maybe this is what my father meant. would i see the smiling face of my mother again. her gentle hand. probably not. i became a monster shrouded in darkness.
"you're not a monster; youre a damaged man but i can fix you. help you even if you do me one thing"
"what? who?" i spoke rash and hoarsily even surprised i could speak from floating beneath the ocean for so long. my mind wondered to who it could be or what it could be? would it be the avatar? no she wants me dead. even though we had our moments but it was silly things. she was a teenager unsure of her feelings i am an adult and wouldnt ever think about having her as my girlfriend.
"i am the moon and the waves the push and the pull. the yin and the yang. i was placed here between the worlds spirit and human and the other realms. i am the bridge between all. I am the sun and the sky. the day and night. i am the creator of all things good and evil."
"do i call you god?" i asked lightly trying to ignore the fact i was dying rather quickly.
"do you want a second chance? to rebuild and change your ways?"
i thought on it slowly coming a rather easy yet hard decision. i closed my eyes and opened them. "yes i accept"
"good i thought you would. see you when you return with the snow princess"
before i could say anything i was thrown into a world i didnt even know a world where there was flashing lights and music all around. and people bussling about.
"hey sir! yo! hey are you alright?" a feminine voice spoke out it took me a bit to realize a beautiful women with snow white hair and the light bluish eyes that reminded me of the ocean looked right at me.
"ah sorry i was lost in thought" i tried to stand but fell over and felt her catch my fall. "youre in horrible shape. come I'll tend to you" i felt her push into the back of a van as she continued to turn on the vehicle i allowed myself to rest.
"hey time to wake up." she gently nudged me making me wake up in deep slumber. i stood a bit hastily and almost doubled over in pain. "damn you cant listen worth shit can ya?" i could hear a thick southern accent in her voice as she led me into a small house with two rooms and one of the rooms had toys and a shark blanket. i could hear the patter of little feet. as a boy about 4 years old step into the living room. as the women sat me down on the couch placing my feet up.

"aston what are you doing up its in the middle of the night?"
"couldnt sleep mommy. you werent home" my son small voice broke through as i left the man on the couch picking up my son. "im sorry baby but i was under cover and you know mommys job is to make sure everyone is safe even you.
"mommy is that man staying here?"
"until hes better now get to bed I'll tuck you in and read you a story i promise." i pushed my son gently into the hallway giving him his flashlight for protection. i turned to the man.
"I'll help you get better but you must watch my son think of it as payment for me helping you? you can stay here until your back on your feet again."
i watched as the man nodded; he was handsome despite having a scar on his lip towards his eye but attractive nontheless
i moved to check his vitals and heart rate everything was good.
i left the room and returned with some blankets as i covered the man up and made my way to my sons room crawling into bed with him unknowingly ignoring the shadowy figure the stood in my sons closet with evil intent.
