Chapter 1: part 2
A/N
Hey guys welcome to part 2 of chapter 1. Yes this is how my story works. Anyway, questions on the storyline or plot will not be answered if it is a major question. Now without further ado, enjoy part 2.
"Mommy, daddy, where are we going?" Asked a small boy barely 4 years old.
"we need to leave now!" Said the mother.
The family of five kept walking down the road, it was raining but luckily it wasn't foggy. The boy turned around to see houses on fire, and worst of all, motionless bodies on the ground with pools of red liquid and severed limbs. He pulled his hood lower, he shivered violently.
They kept walking, everywhere weapons spread on the road. A grey haired figure accompanied the family. He gripped a blade in his hand.
All of a sudden they appeared...
"MEHT TEG" shouted one of strange figures.
"Merlin, take the children and run!" Yelled the father.
The mother slipped something in the pocket of the boy. Something gold.
The grey haired man pulled out his blade and told the three children to run and keep up as fast as they can... *******************************************************
I woke up panting. It was barely 5:00 in the morning.
My dream...No...my nightmare, it made me relive that moment, one I never want to relive.
I decided not to get anymore sleep, so I got up and opened my closet, I pulled out my a dark blue shirt with an emerald image at front, dark green pants, brown boots and a dark rain, and a yellow rain coat.
I looked outside, it was raining. At least the coat is helpful for rainfall.
I went downstairs to eat breakfast, Dina and Marcus were already eating, they waved at me. I smiled in response and sat down.
Marcus is my older brother and is kind of in charge since...it happened. He has natural brown hair unlike mine, which is dyed light brown, sky blue eyes like me, and 14 years old. Everyone at it school calls him Slime.
You see when Marcus was born, he had a disease that made the top right part of his head is cyan, and his right eye is black with a green point for pupils. The infection was not lethal or harmful, just a burden. He is treated the same way I am.
My sister Dina is about my age which is 12 years. She has straight black hair and for some reason, green eyes, the same shade as my brother's infected eye. She was the shortest out of all of us. she is treated the same way I am.
"So Samuel" started Dina. "Are you going to see Merlin".
"yup" I responded.
"Samuel remember we have to walk to the school together, otherwise-" Marcus made motioned his hand by his throat.
"I know Marcus, I know". I said. "But still, come on let's go find Merlin and the others".
"But we didn't even eat" said Dina
After breakfast, we head out to the field where the school and training grounds are. They are not safe. Last week, I had to buy cloth to put around scratches caused by arrows. I really should have known spilling water on someone's shirt would really blow them off their top.
On the way to the field, we bumped into a bluish gray haired man.
"Merlin!" I said excitedly as I attempted to tackle him.
"No you don't Samuel" said Merlin playfully as he put his hand on Samuel's head.
Merlin was not an old man, in fact, he is 19 years old. He had gray hair with a faint light blue tint to it, making it a cool gray color. He had bright yellow eyes and very slightly tanned skin. Merlin works for the government of the Crimson Village. He took me under his wing when I was only five. That is a debt I knew I could never repay, even with my life.
"You didn't think I'd fall for that did ya?" Said Merlin while smirking.
"No I didn't!" I said.
Merlin started chuckling. He and I started walking while Dina and Marcus went to another route, they go to school in a different location. On the way, Merlin was being stared at by many teens who saw him as a traitor by helping me. He ignores them. Once they see me, they shoot me a glare. I tend to counter that by shooting a glare of my own.
"So Samuel." Started Merlin, in the best way he can to start a conversation.
"Are you excited for this year's festival. You know, all night party, lots of fun and stuff."
"Merlin, you know I never get welcomed in The Year's End Festival." I reminded him.
"Well this year that changes my friend, I forced the others back at the big house to let you in." He responded.
"How?" I asked.
"I blackmailed them with an embarrassing photo of all of them with a hangover." He responded laughing.
Once we got to the fields, I felt a chill go through my spine. Naturally I skip a week of this school. But today I decided to go and now I regret it.
In the school, we train in basic combat. We also get taught on the history of all the world and the war. But what I really find fascinating, is the Main City, the oldest and greatest city of them all. The city, is the size of a continent once called...Asia I think. It is my dream to visit the place, even a hour visit or less will be enough.
Unfortunately, in the school, I am a target. I am alone. To everyone in the school, and Crimson Village, I am an outcast. When I was... No I won't think about it. I snapped out of my thinking when a red haired girl approached me and Merlin.
"Hey Samuel!" Said the girl.
"Hi Rachel" I responded.
She stopped and smiled. At least I have a few people to consider friends.
