Reviews are slowing down.. :(
I do like to know what you guys think of my stories but if you don't fell like reviewing, thats cool.
I'm a pretty adventurous guy when it comes to food. I enjoy all sorts of curries and exotic fruits.
But pizza was always my favourite food. When ever I was out with my friends, we would get pizza. It was a food that went with anything. We simply grabbed a few slices and went back downstairs. When I looked into the kitchen, the adults were having what seemed like a serious conversation. They stopped and smiled when they saw me and I moved on.
When we were all back downstairs, American Idol ended and it switched to the news. An attractive young woman started speaking
"Protests in New Olympia against the anonymity of the now so called, Heroes of New Olympia. We have Rob on the scene live."
The camera switched to a gathering of people who were protesting on the streets.
"The government should reveal and arrest these "Heroes"." bellowed a middle aged man who was rather overweight. "Ever since that fight in the streets, gangs and poverty have thrived here. We want justice brought back to our city and have those responsible for this disaster to be punished." The interviewer took the microphone and talked to the cameraman.
"The government has refused to release the names and identities of the Heroes, however, as the protests and riots continue, it is possible that the authorities may give in."
The news started rambling on about something else at that point.
"Bloody bastards." Ashlynn muttered. "I learned about that in history class. They're lucky they still HAVE a city."
She was right. Those Heroes saved the city from an alien invasion and they were repaying them with hatred. It frustrated me that people could be so ignorant. We flipped the channel to some Family Guy. It was an old show. Really old but it was very funny.
"So what school do you guys go to?" I asked.
"Stoufville High." Ashlynn replied.
"I hear they have a tough rugby team."
"Yeah." The middle boy said something at last. "They do."
"So what your name?" I asked.
"Ryan." He spoke in a very dull, monotone voice. His glare had not left my mind.
"Don't worry about Ryan. He's always like that now."
I chuckled. I lent out my hand. He glanced at it, then back to his pizza.
Ashlynn spoke again. "Hes doesn't like it when I'm around other guys my age. I have a bad history with boys."
"I can relate about bad history. I can barely get a date." I reply. She giggled. It was a mocking giggle but it was kind of cute.
"Well you have it better off then. My last boyfriend threatened to kill me. He almost did if it wasn't for little brother Ryan.."
"That bitch got what he had coming." He cracked his knuckles. He didn't seem like a very aggressive person.
'Nothing personal Ryan, but I can't really see you kicking a highschoolers ass."
He looked at me with a small glare. "You haven't seen me angry."
I didn't dare go further. He seemed demonic. I noticed that the twins were wrestling again.
"Hey Harry Potter, wanna join?" As much as I disliked their sneers, I smiled and replied.
"Um no thanks." I politely replied.
"I'm in!" yelled Ashlynn. "You in Ryan?"
He shrugged, "Whatever." He joined the brawl.
Ashlynn looked at me with convincing eyes. "Come on Herry. Join the fun!"
I didn't want to hurt them because I still had no idea what I was dealing with in the way of super strength. I could easily hurt one of them. That would make a bad first impression. Especially on Ashlynn.
"No I really think thats not a good idea."
"Why not?" I was confusing them. There was no point in verbally explaining why. The only way was to show them.
"THIS is why." I went over to the couch and with one hand, I lifted the massive thing completely off of the ground.
The four of them instantly stopped wrestling and dropped their jaws.
"Cool." said the twins at the same time.
"Dude. You must work out. Like alot." said the monotone Ryan even though his eyes were wide open with surprise.
"I don't know how or why, but suddenly I could do that this afternoon. It was like magic or something."
Ashkynn laughed it off. "Don't be silly there's no such thing as magic."
I put down the couch and we all atarted playing cod. Apparently Ashlynn played video games which I thought was incredibly cool. Unfortunately, time flys when you have fun.
Odie called from upstairs. "Herrry, its time to leave!"
I checked my phone. 1AM. It felt like a few minutes. I got up to leave.
"Herry wait!'' Called Ashlynn she got up too and drew out her cell phone. "Give me your number and we will plan a jam sometime."
We exchanged cell phone numbers. Odie called me again.
"It was nice meeting you." I smiled. and went upstairs.
Medellia drove home. Odie had a few too many to drink and she was tonights designated driver. Time caught up with my body and I started drifting to sleep. When we got back I went straight upstairs to my room/ I overheard an unusual conversation from downstairs.
"There is something not right with that kid. I just feel it." It was medellia's voice.
"What do you mean?" Asked Odie.
'Well, he seems like a nice boy, but every time I see him, I feel uneasy. It feels me feel like that I should, well, not like him."
"Are you sure it isn't you?"
There was a silence.
''It might be but I am telling you this right here. I don't like Herry and I don't know why, but i just do.."
That was all I heard as I drifted into a deep sleep. It had been a long day and I was tired. I entitled myself to a comfortable night of sleep.
I was in the middle of a city street. The rain was pouring down like no tomorrow. It was night but the city lights were not on. I could only see a few feet ahead of me. The fog and the thick blanket of rain clouded my vision.
I stepped forward and my foot landed in something sticky.
Blood. A bolt of lightning struck close by and I saw what lied in front of me. I wanted to throw up.
Bodies. Everywhere. Many where of people not much older than me with axes in their skulls that had blades the size of laptops. It was a sickening sight. There were other bodies all over the ground too. They were of beasts that I had never seen before. There were hag-like women with wings, creatures with bull heads and human torsos. It was like something from a nightmare.
I wandered aimlessly through the body ridden streets. There were thousands of bodies here. One struck out to me. It was a soldier. A big man with a bald head and rough stubble. He had a revolver in one hand and a knife in the other. It was covered with blood. He himself had a spear in him back and his body faced the ground. I used my foot to roll him over. The soldier even had a nametag.
"Sergeant Mack of the 21st battalion." I remembered in my textbook that it stated that the 21st battalion was destroyed in the Battle of New Olympia.
That meant that this- was the battleground of the Great Battle of the 21st Century. I wandered some more and came across massive men, the size of elephants.
Their skin colours varied from human to green. They creeped me out. I realised that I was the only one wandering the streets. As if everyone had perished in the fight.
The rain did not diminish, but through the foggy landscape, I caught something with my eyes. Something had moved. I walked over to investigate. It was a body which seemingly had fallen from they skyscraper above. I looked at the body. It was a man. Dressed in black. He had greying hair with a sharp, thin beard and a goatee. His neck was slit and held a scythe, made from pure gold. I looked up to see where the body had fallen from. My eyes checked from the first floor to the roof. I would never forget what I saw.
A flash of lightning revealed to me a figure standing on the roof, looking down right at me.
It was my dad.
"Herry." I heard a voice in my head. It was my dads voice.
'Wake up."
I woke up in a cold sweat. Sitting rigid on my bed. I checked the clock.
4AM. It was still early.
"What a dream" I whispered to myself. My breathing was heavy and a drop of sweat trickled down my cheek. But I realised that it was no dream.
It was a message.
My dad was still alive. I knew it. He was out there and he was calling for me. How he did that? I didn't know.
Herry is learning more about his father now. What will happen next? Who knows? Please review it would be much appreciated and I hope you are enjoying the story! :)
