Jonathan Covalt, a 17-year-old honor student who got forced into a prestigious school, is now faced with a question. Depending on what he says, his life will either halt right then and there or will go on and be changed forever. But, I suppose that I should go back in time so you can understand the situation better. So, for now, all you need to know is that Jonathan is in a remote country and is in the #1 school in his state. And he is an honor student who is about 6 feet tall, healthy, and obviously the main character.
So, Jonathan is walking briskly to school in an undisturbed manner, even though he's taking a dark route at 3 am in the morning. He has his books in his backpack handbag(Google it) and has his hands full with a box of project supplies. He has a science project he has to do in class, so he's getting ready as slow as a slug, as usual. Fast forward a few hours, and it's 8:25 am, so people are coming in like the flood before Noah's Arch, like usual.
"Hey, John!" An extremely short guy with glasses who is surprisingly in the same class as Jonathan, says, running to Jonathan. "Hey, what's up, Marcus?" Jonathan happily replied. "Nothin' much, I'm just going to see the aliens after school!" Marcus said. "... What? You believe that stuff?" Jonathan said in disbelief. "Yeah! You wanna go with me?" Marcus said, putting on his puppy eyes. "... Fine. I'll go if you really want me to," Jonathan said, defeatedly. "Yay! Thanks, John!" Marcus said.
It's the end of the day, and Jonathan is looking, proudly at his 1st place trophy from his science project. He remembers what he said to Marcus and starts jogging to where he said to go. Once he got there, he was out of breath and saw a figure, probably his friend, waving at him...
"Hi, Marcus!" John said, clearly exhausted. "Hi, Jonathan Covalt, how are you? You seem very tired, allow me to help." The figure said as it slowly reveals itself from the darkness. "W-What are you?" Jonathan says, shaking with fear.
"Are you scared, my boy? Haha, don't worry, I know a talented young lad when I see one. The guy before you was clearly a useless human, but you're different. Come with me, I order you." The creature says. "Seeing as I have no choice judging by your mysterious demeanor, I will go, but only after this one question," Jonathan asks, questioning the creature's motives. "Sure. What is it?" The creature asks. "Where is Marcus? Tell me now, don't delay." Jonathan says sternly. "He isn't here, sorry, I think he ran into the portal without you. I feel so bad for you!" The creature exclaimed, mockingly.
"Well then, fine. I'll comply with your commands and go." Jonathan says. "Great!" The creature says, taking Jonathan by the arm and dragging him into the darkness. Jonathan's vision started to fade as he fainted.
