Chapter 2 - The beginning [2]

As he was about to leave, "Wait!". He heard someone say to him, he then turned around and saw a man with glowing green eyes something that was weird even to him and unknown to Alfred his eyes also glowed slightly bright red which the other man noticed.

He then did what came to his mind first and that is running as fast as possible but before he started running he heard the other man say "you were chosen, a new king". He didn't wait to hear the rest of the story as he had already started running.

If he paid more attention to himself he'd notice that he was running very fast compared to before but he didn't care about all of that and was just focused on getting to Kelvin as soon as possible. He don't know why but the strange man didn't chase him, and only watched him from a distance.

'Come find me' he suddenly heard that same man's voice in his head and that scared him the more.'Fuck, I shouldn't have followed any stupid strange feeling or whatever this is what usually happens In those horror films with strange people', Alfred thought to himself as he was really scared when he saw the man's eyes glow bright green.

He then noticed that he had already got back to the school, he saw Kelvin panicking and couldn't help but think about how much time could have possibly passed for kelvin to be that worried. 'That was fast', the thought suddenly came to his mind as he realized he got back to the school faster than he expected but he brushed it off since it was better that way as he managed to escape that strange man with green eyes.

"Hey, you've been gone for an hour. I was about to call the police", Kelvin said worriedly as he finally noticed that Alfred had already gotten back from his 'errand'.

'I've been gone for an hour', Alfred thought to himself as he didn't think that much time as passed since he decided to trace the connection. The thought suddenly came to his mind that that strange man might be following him.

Hey, kelvin, let's get going now", he told kelvin hurriedly."Where the hell have you been Alfred?", Kelvin said as he was still worried because of Alfred's strange behavior. "Umm, I'll tell you later let's just go kelvin", Alfred said as he suddenly grabbed Kelvin's hand and started running. 'First, he said he needed to go somewhere, now he's rushing back, what really happened back there?', Kelvin thought to himself.

Then Kelvin realized something, Alfred was running very fast, too fast.

When Alfred got home, He started thinking about the tree incident. 'What was that tree? Why did I feel connected to it? Why was it calling unto me?' he kept thinking to himself.

'That strange man, his eyes were glowing bright green, and he seemed to have some kind of respect for me'.

He suddenly felt very tired, he found this strange but he just associated it with the strange man and how scared he was.

"I feel really tired, I think it would be better if I just rest, at least I'm still alive. He didn't hurt me", Alfred muttered to himself as he went to his room and he lied down falling asleep immediately.

Back at kelvin's house, he's still thinking about what happened to Alfred as he remembered how frightened he looked back then." I hope he didn't get himself into any trouble, I really wonder what happened to him, guess I'll just ask him tomorrow", He said to himself.

Back at Alfred's house, as he was sleeping some changes were going on inside his body but he didn't notice as he was still sleeping. His cells seemed to be changing and every organ in his body was also changing and developing into more complex ones.
