Chapter 2

Tom looked around their new home. He always hated moving, expectably since he lived in California. The room was bare and boring, he sighed.

"Nothing like LA," He muttered. He sighed and swung the duffle bag onto the old bed. Outside it started to rain, the grey over hang was heavy with water. Tom heard his mother call, "Tommy! Come down and meet our neighbors. Tom sighed again and walked down stairs. Down stairs was just as bad as his room, it looked like someone erased with a pencil then hit it with a hammer. Boxes scattered the ground. His mom held the door out and was talking to someone.

She laughed, "Yep that's him alright," She turned to look at Tom, "Oh, here his is now." She widened the door. Two people, a man and a woman, where standing there. Tom stepped back; their eyes were red, no whites of their eyes or pupils. They smiled, they had pointy teeth that where mossy yellow and a long tongue that was purple. The woman looked a little see through a little. His mother was oblivious to what they look that.

"Come on in Mr. and Mrs.….."

"Mores," The man said. Mr. Mores looked at Tom with his glassy orb-like eyes. Tom swallowed hard.

"Hello." He gave a small wave then started to back away; His mom caught him in the act. "Don't be rude. Dinner's almost ready, why don't you come in?" Mr. Mores nodded.

"Thank you, would you like some help with the food?" Mrs. Mores asked.

"Oh no, you don't have to help."

"I insist the boys can get to know each other." She smiled. Tom's mom got a dazed look on her face.

"Sure, Tom, you can go into the living room with Mrs. Mores. Get to know each other. We'll be in the kitchen if you need anything." She walked, a little too stiff for Tom's sake, into the kitchen and Mrs. Morse followed after her.

"Let's go, my boy, we have much to discuss." Tom felt a shiver down his spine from how Mr. Mores said the last word. Once they got into the living room, Tom turned around. Mr. Mores grinned evilly.

"Boy, you shouldn't be alone with me." His face changed, Tom gasped; it was even more hideous than it was.

"Uh, what are you?" The thing, that Tom was sure was not Mr. Morse any more, smirked.

"A troll, and you see, this is my bridge, I live right under you. Ha! Your mom is weak, Mrs. Mores was illusion. But you saw right through me. Now I need to termite you or you could spill." The troll lunged at him; he jumped out of the way just in time. It seemed to grow, its hands turning bigger, the cloth ripped to show green skin, and his hair turned swampy seaweed. Tom looked into a box that they still needed to unpack, a gold-bronze sword that was a family heirloom was there. He took it and swung just as the troll lunged again. The troll looked at Tom with his beady eyes, and then looked down.

"I'll be back, and I will get my revenge." He said, and then puffed into smoke. Tom's heart raced. He needs to get out of there. He had no idea where, but he needed to go. He looked for a piece of paper and a pencil. Found one in a box labeled SCHOOL. He scribbled a note on why he was leaving then he snuck out.

He looked around, still holding the sword; it was actually in the belt loop of his jeans. It was like a fencing sword but a little wider. He looked up as the over cast started to rain.

"This couldn't get any worse." He muttered. He trudged through, the now flooded, street. He stopped, moving his wet brown hair out of his eyes. He looked up, a horse. He took a double look, wait, with wings? He shook his head, no, that can't be right he thought. But he was, it landed in front of him.

"H-Hi big horse with wings," He said. The horse brayed. It lay down and folded its wings.

"I'm Pegasus, not a horse. Anyway, come with me Tom, I will get you somewhere safe." Tom jerked back and looked around, "Ugh, It's me you idiot, the horse. Just trust me." The horse jerked its head like a motion to get on. He shrugged then climbed on. There where weirder things, like that troll. Its feathers where soft and warm, it stood and started to run, stretching its wings and took off.
