SWANSONG

PROLOGUE

You want to know my story? Well before we start, I have to tell you how I got to be where I am and what happened to me to change me into who I am today. So, sit down, put your feet up and let me take you through the last four years of my life. My name is Dorian Swan and I have a twin sister named Isabella Swan (but don't let her hear you calling her that. She prefers Bella.) Our parents are Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer. I've always been a shy boy growing up, being a pale five foot six inches skinny kid with little hand to eye coordination really doesn't do much in the confidence department.

I had an impressive collection of scars from being clumsy and getting into accidents. Bella did not fare well as it seemed the clumsiness was genetic. Despite all the setbacks I loved to go hiking as the solitude for me was worth it. Four years ago, whilst on a hiking trail I happened to see something that caught my eye in the evening sky as I was headed back home.

I saw what looked like a meteor crashing close to where i was and like the clueless idiot I was at the time, decided to go take a look. As fate would have it what happened next changed his life in ways that I had not expected but came to truly appreciate.

The meteor had created a crater when it crashed and I climbed down to get a closer look. A grey liquid that had been oozing out of a crack on the meteor rock and as soon as I extended my right arm towards the rock to touch it trying to feel what kind of material it was made of, (I know, stupid decision right?) the liquid suddenly moved at an alarming pace and began to cover his right arm and began covering his entire body. The goo felt cold and I began to panic trying to remove the Goo but was failing to make any headway when suddenly the goo began to disappear as it was absorbed into my body.

I felt a cold sensation all over my body and strange images and memories began to flood my mind, images of distant worlds, memories of knowledge on different subjects and of a humanoid being swallowed up by the goo only for it to disappear and the humanoid appear much stronger and faster, using abilities that I had only seen in sci-fi movies. The memories were so many that they almost overwhelmed him and he almost passed out.

Days after my encounter with E.T I noticed that my body had begun to change, Bella and Renee didn't much about it because at twelve years of age everyone around me just attributed it to a growth spurt caused by puberty, but I knew better. The goo had changed me.

My Pale skin, which had always been identical to Bellas, had now taken on a tanned hue, making me look like a surfer, my face still looked like me but as if a skilled painter had taken a paintbrush and drew me to be perfect. I looked like a model. My body became toned and my muscles defined like those of a gymnast.

Then the weird crap started to rear it head (Not that I was complaining, I was loving every second of this). I started to notice that I was now faster the fastest sprinter at school without even trying and had tried to push myself and ended up running as fast as, and even out sped a Lamborghini going at top speed easily, my strength had increased to the point where I could lift a Locomotive over my head.(don't judge me you would have tried it too had you been In my position).My body was durable to survive crashing into an stationary train whilst practicing running at full speed,(train yard blew up, news blamed it on a gas leak.) also, all the scars I had received growing up, had healed after absorbing the goo.

Part of me was worried that I wasn't human any more but the other was living in the moment. Sports became a breeze and I became a star athlete, Academics had always been easy since I was a nerd but now every subject at school was now ridiculously easy as I had all the knowledge from the goo and had also developed photographic memory, my cognition was out of this world as I could process complex problems in a split sense of smell was so heightened I could smell when someone was afraid or stressed.

Then there were the psychic abilities, though not as potent as the physical attributes, the psychic abilities I had developed made me feel like I was a superhero, I had what felt like a dome of psychic energy around my head(had no idea what that did) and could project my thoughts into other people's minds and read their minds by actively focusing on their thoughts(Never worked on Bella for some reason, maybe because we are twins.)Lastly I had telekinesis although it was very weak and could only lift small objects such as rocks or other small things.

For four years I lived with my secret, I grew up and learned to better control my abilities. Now having just turned seventeen, I stood at six feet two inches and had been training in Brazilian Jiujitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai, which led to my body changing to look like that of a toned, ripped fighter, I preferred to keep my hair at shoulder length and wore clothes that showed my muscular Physique. I had tried to talk Bella into exercising with me but gave up after it ended with her spraining her ankle.

Mom had a new boyfriend who was a baseball player and moved around with his team a lot, so after having a long talk with Bella and going through many tantrums (Bella not me) we finally decided to tell Mom that we would be going to stay with our dad, Charlie in forks so that she could move with Phil full time. After convincing mom that we were doing this to spend more time with our father, arrangements were made, bags were packed and plane tickets were booked.

Mom drove us to the airport with the windows rolled down. It was seventy-five degrees in Phoenix, the sky a perfect, cloudless blue. I had my face stuck out the window trying to inhale the different scents of was going to be a while before I returned so I wanted something to remember it by. After hugging our mother, we boarded on to the plane waving goodbye to our mother.

Hello people,

hope you loved the prologue, I had to write the main character's background/origin story before the story started.

This is my first attempt at writing a story in the first-person perspective so please feel free to drop reviews or give suggestions as I feel they will help improve the quality of the story.

cheers,
