Chapter 1 - Chapter one:a fight with a monster

Charles's pov :

As l woke up, l felt the morning sun rays on my face. I slept really late last night, so I'm having a slight headache. I hadn't update my book for two days straight, so l had to update six chapters last night. Maybe l should just update today chapters before doing anything else" l thought. I opened my laptop, last night update haven't got many views yet but it's okay. Now to update for today_____Darius and His sister Nichole ran as fast as they could, the red soldiers from the blood palace, kept chasing them deep into the forest. Using their super speed, they sped through the forest and eventually lost the soldiers. They stopped to rest. Nichole: let's rest beside that rock over there. "Okay" said Darius. "Thank goodness, we finally lost them" said Darius. "Don't get too excited ,we are not out of danger yet, they won't give up so easily. Plus we are in a forest of monsters right now, and any beast could come out and attack us right now" as Nichole said that the so-called rock beside them started to move and opened it's eyes. Nichole: speaking of monsters. Darius:you just had to say something. The giant monster stood up and growled loudly and then took an offense stance. Nichole and Darius prepared their swords. Nichole attacked first, but before she could land a strike , the monster flinged her to a large rock. Darius also attacked but suffered the same fate. Nichole mind linked him" we have to find it's weak point and fast". " It's a giant so it's weakness should be in it's legs and spine" said Darius. Then the monster started to rush towards them. The both of them got up and started going around it using their super speed, Nichole took the right while Darius took the left , confusing it. They used the chance to strike and cut it's leg randomly.

But then the monster got frustrated , and started kicking randomly. And in the process,Nichole got kicked and was sent flying, she fell so hard that she cough out blood and couldn't stand up. Darius saw his sister's situation and panicked, he made a big mistake, he turned his back to the monster. And the hit him hard and he collided with a rock. He coughed out blood, the monster then charged towards Nichole. Darius tried to stand up to help his sister but he fell back to ground,"Nichole no!!!"he screamed. Nichole on the other hand had closed her eyes that 'this is end'. Just then a larger monster jumped out of nowhere and started to attack the first monster. Darius seized the chance to stand up and went to carry his sister. He ran as fast as he could and only stopped when he can't run further. Meanwhile, the noise from the fight had caught the red soldiers attention. And they have started to head towards the area. By the time they got there, they found the two monsters fighting,"let's go around them, be careful don't let them notice us"said the general leading the soldiers. But the larger monster had already defeated the other monster. As soon as it heard the soldiers foot steps, it rushed towards them. The monster began to attack some of the soldiers. The general then create a barrier between them and the monster, but some of the soldiers were still behind the barrier together with the monster. They screamed and begged the general to open the barrier, but the cold hearted general didn't even bugde, all their pleas fell on deaf ears.

On the other hand, in the blood palace, Lord Barcus was having a heart attack during the ritual again. His quest to become an immortal never stops. He has already become a hideous monster but still he is not stopping. He is still taking souls upon souls, lives upon lives. He had become a blood thirsty,soul eating demon, whose thirst for souls and blood can never be quenched. "My Lord, you need to rest"said the head priest. "No, keep going "Barcus said. "But you have lost a lot of energy ", "then kill more people , bring their souls to me"." Isn't the blood moon happening in three days, pass my order that l want war between fallen star clan and cloud river clan as their homage to me this year, prepare your soul orbes and absorb all souls and lives taken, after it is done bring the orbes to me, once l have absorbed all the souls in them, we will continue ritual" Barcus said. "Yes my Lord" all the priests said in unison____. Charles's pov: l think that should be enough for today. I went into the bathroom and take my bath. I got dressed, then l went downstairs to have my breakfast with my mom. "Good morning mom" l pecked her cheeks. "Morning son, did you sleep well". "Well, yes" l said. "What are we having for breakfast" l asked, "vegetable sandwich with bacon and scrambled eggs"my mom replied. I really love my mom, even though at my age right now, l am the one who is supposed to provide for her, l'm still feeding under her, l feel so useless but she has never made me feel that way. She has always treated me with love, l know that one day I'll repay her for it.

Michael's pov:

I found myself walking through a beautiful forest, this forest has a lot of mysterious creatures inhabiting it, after a while l saw a big city behind the forest. And then l heard a girl calling for help and everything became dark, then l saw the girl calling for help with snake-like vines strangling her. I then l woke up. It's the same dream every day for past three years now. I still don't know what it means, and l don't have the time to figure that out. I am looking for my daughter, I have been searching for six years to know avail. I still can't believe my daughter was taken from me, the only reason I chose to keep on moving, the only thing keeping me sane after my wife passed away. I could still remember how she was taken from me, like it was yesterday. Flashback: l was walking on the streets together with my three year old daughter, Angela, up on my shoulders ,we were singing the poem l composed for her when we saw an ice cream truck, "daddy l want ice cream" Angela said ,"Okay let's go get one". I put her down in front of the truck, the owner of the truck had already closed, but l was able to persuade him to give her a scoop. Just then l received a call from my uncle, but l couldn't hear him clearly so l walked away from the truck a little, later l got so engrossed in what we were discussing that l didn't know what was happening behind me. When l looked back l saw the ice cream truck speeding away and my daughter's ice cream on the floor. It was then l realized my daughter has been kidnapped right under my nose. I cried, screamed and wailed but that didn't bring my daughter back to me .End of flashback.

Today, l found out that the guy who kidnapped my daughter was going to drive along this lane. So l prepared for an ambush. I have special ability of projecting things, l can also throw things with accurate calculation of where I want things to hit. So l picked a few small rocks. As soon as the car approached, l threw one at the left front tyre and another at the second tyre and both tyres went flat. And the car came to an halt crashing into a rock. I quickly went towards the car and dragged the two passengers out. Then I began to punch the man that kidnapped my daughter continously while asking him " where is my daughter ?, where is my little Angela?". But then l stopped when l heard a child's cry in the truck. I quickly went to the boot with the hope that my Angela was there, l opened the boothe and found over eleven children in cages, Angela wasn't there. I turned to charge at the bastard again but he had ran away. I knelt by truck and cried, l cried till l lost consciousness. I woke up and found myself in a police car with my hands cuffed together. They must have thought l was the culprit no no no, this can't be happening. "Officers what going on" l got no response."What is the meaning of this " l screamed on top of my voice. "You will get your explanation when you get to the station, just know that you are a suspect for kidnapping and human trafficking, any word from you would used against you" the officer said.
