Chapter 1

16 years later...

I shot up in bed as my alarm went off. "Alex hurry up you don't wanna be late!" my mom called from downstairs. I got out of bed and started to get ready for school. The crappy part about all this, it's my birthday. To be specific it's my golden sweet sixteen. It also happens to be Wednesday. I did my hair and got dressed then ran down stairs to see my mom cooking breakfast and my dad at the table. My mom isn't your average mom. Although she seems nice and sweet she is a total badass. My mom hair super blonde hair, deep blue eyes that could make anyone feel safe, and a kick ass body. But if you are a threat to the safety of our family, my mom reveals a side to her that you would never think was there.

My dad on the other hand is the exact opposite. He has jet black hair and bright hazel eyes. He was muscular and also a badass. But I always got this scary feeling when I was around him. I just felt like evil was invading my body. But I know that's not the case. I took a plate from my mom and sat down to eat.

"Happy birthday A." my dad said. He never called me by my name. I was always A to him.

"Thanks dad. But I think my birthday is gonna suck." I answered with a sigh. He replied with a sudden curiosity, "Why would your birthday suck? After all today is the day you get your-"

"Rick! Don't you dare." My mom said to him with a dangerous look in her eyes.

My father gave her a darker version of that same look. Shit was about to go down. "Why not Vanessa? The sooner he knows the safer he will be. You know that they will come soon so he should be learning."

She hissed at him, "I don't want to tell him now. I was going to wait until after school. That gives us time. Besides," she smirked, "He won't manifest until the moon is at its peak. Unless something happens of course."

I started to ask what the hell was going on but I heard the bus. "Gotta go." I said to them as I rushed out the house. I got on the bus thinking about what they said. What exactly will manifest at the moon's peak and why do I get the feeling bad thing will happen afterwards. When I got on the bus everyone was staring at me. I knew what they wanted. Nearly every student on campus knew who I was and wanted me. I have no friends. I keep to myself. And yet I am one of the main things discussed by the others. Oh the irony.

I sat in the last seat on the bus like I always do. Of course people tried to get me to sit with them. I just waved and walked past. However one guy I didn't recognize sat in the seat next to me. He looked at me and I saw his eyes widen like he'd seen a ghost or something. Then he smiled and said, "Hey I'm Jack. I'm the new kid." I told him, "I'm Alex." After that I put my earbuds in and stayed quiet until we got to school.

Today was not as bad as I thought it would be. The new guy, oddly enough, was in all my classes. I felt like he was watching me the entire time. He never sat behind me but he was close enough. Normally I would get on the bus but walking should be faster. Especially when you have two super awesome parents that are hiding something about you, from you. The conversation from this morning came to the front of my mind. I was so lost in thought that I almost didn't notice someone behind me. Almost.

I spun around ready to attack the guy behind me when I saw it was Jake. This guy is now starting to give me some serious vibes. None of them are good. "W-what the hell man?! Why are you following me?" I asked him demanding an answer.

He had a smirk on his face a look in his eyes that I couldn't place. "I'm not following you. I actually live two block up from you. So sue me for walking." I looked at him and then turned back around. "Whatever. Just try not to be creepy. I thought you were someone trying to attack me."

He laughed. "Why would I do that? I wouldn't hurt a fly." After he said that I started walking. I made sure to pay attention to my surrounding like i was taught. But he didn't know I was trained in combat. In fact no one did. So I wasn't surprised when he started running at me.

I sidestepped and hit him in the back with my elbow. I could tell he didn't expect that because he had a shocked look on his face. That look soon vanished as he ran at me again and sent a kick to my face. I crouched down then spun and swept his feet from under him. He easily flipped back up. Then he did something that I could never believe. He vanished. One second he was in front of me and the next thing I know, I feel a foot connect with my side. I landed hard on the grass but I got up immediately.

"What's the matter? You don't know Darkness when you see it?" His voice was suddenly deeper. I looked up at him. He now had the black smoke radiating off his skin and his eyes were a blazing hazel. He isn't human, and I'm about to die.

He lunged at me one last time. Except he had a blade in his hand. I closed my eyes waiting for the blow. But it never came. I waited a little while before opening my eyes to see my mom plunge a white blade into his head. Little by little, his body started deteriorating until only ashes remained.

My mom ran up to me and asked, "Are you okay sweetheart?" I looked at her. Then I exploded and yelled, "What the hell just happened?!" My mom looked like she expected my reaction because she was completely calm. "Honey, your father and I will explain everything when we get home. And I'm guessing we don't have much time since they sent your father's brother to kill you.

I couldn't believe what I just heard. But I went with my mom anyway. Everything I knew about my life is probably a lie. However I need to know what's going on and my parents have a hell of a lot to explain. Something is happening, and if they don't tell me just what exactly that it, I can tell that things are going to get very, very bad.
