Now, listen to "Breathe (2am)" by Anna Nalick, but I'm writing in my own style and giving Gregor a language update.
Chapter 1
Gregor
"Wake up, Gregor!" his mother called. "There's someone here to see you!" She sounded worried.
"At 5:30 in the frickin' morning!" Gregor complained. He threw back the blankets and swung his legs out of bed. He stumbled to the kitchen in just his boxers and a t-shirt. He almost fell over when he saw who was sitting at the table.
The girl was so pale she made printer paper look black. She had wavy platinum blonde hair that went down to her waist with a gold circlet at the top of her head. Her violet eyes were heartbroken, and she looked like a supermodel. "Hello," Luxa said.
"Hi," he managed to squeak out. "I can tell you're here for a reason."
She stared at the table. "I need your help," she told him. "I know it has been a long time, but I was hoping you would understand."
"I would, if you would tell me what's wrong," Gregor replied.
Luxa took a deep breath, and he could tell that what ever it was, it was serious. "Hazard is missing, Gregor. He is just gone. He just disappeared." The words seemed to pour out of her. Gregor stood.
"I'll be right back," he told her. He turned and ran to his mother. "Hey, Mom, can I go to New York?" He asked simply, fully expecting an over her dead body. What she said surprised him more than the fact that she let Luxa in the house.
"Well, we all need a vacation. Let's all go!" she said.
"Who are you, and what have you done with my mother?" Gregor asked. She laughed nervously.
"Luxa told me what happened. I think you need to go, and I'm not letting you go without me," she replied seriously.
"Yeah, cause we all know how well that went last time."
