Chapter 1 - Chapter One

Samuel's alarm rings at 6:00am but due to the events of last night he ignores it and fall back asleep. Yesterday was a smash as he spent it living the best if his life not knowing what tomorrow may hold. His alarm is such a loveable one because it didn't even deem it to wake him up five minutes later. He woke up to the sound of the alarm again and when he gets his bearing enough to look at the time it was 7:30am. Wow i think i might need one exactly like this soon. He rushes out of bed and into the bathroom. His lack of punctuality is a fact but this is worse than normal. How can this alarm do this on a Monday morning. The alarm was so nice it gave him an extra hour to rest at the detriment of my job for the great achievement of the previous day. He walks out of the bathroom with half of his body still soapy but I'm pretty sure he wasn't aware and even if he is he didn't even care. He quickly cleans his body with a towel and begins dressing. 

His self-contain apartment was not a place to write home about. Most of his clothes were on the floor, books for his research everywhere, fast food wraps were all on the table and even the kitchen was stocked with dirty dishes. I wouldn't advice anyone who just ate to go in there, that will be a waste of a delicious meal. I speak from experience. He maneuvers his way round the heap of clothes and book and arrives in front of his cupboard and opens it. I guess we can add laundry to another chore he hasn't completed. He had only a few clothes and a suit left. He has worn the rest and hasn't wash. He picks up the blue suit and quickly gets into it. He styles his hair and applies lotion before walking out the room with his briefcase in his hands. 

Samuel arrives at the car park of his building. He lived and worked in the city so it was only the crazily rich that owned personal houses. Everyone lived in buildings with outlet. His building was almost empty except the landlord and Mrs Whitmer who works from home. How ironic, that might just be him in few minutes. He gets to his rickety 2006 Grey Toyota Camry which was one of his greatest achievement, how pitiful. He pulls the handle and realises it was locked, what a dumb human. He searches his whole body and couldn't find the key. Well maybe if you had picked it you would have it on you. He realises his mistake and rushes back to his apartment. Today really isn't his day nut he has no choice but to live it the way it comes, well he does though 😎. 

He finally gets the car open and on it's way by 8:15am. Now let me give you a breakdown of why I'm sure this young man here won't make it through the day without getting sacked or maybe murdered. His resumption time is 7:30am. Let's say he doesn't resume until 8:00am but he is in the wrong dress code for Monday. He is also in different coloured socks. Looking like a colour war is happening. The most surprising thing is that he has forgotten something very important at home. He drives surprisingly slow for someone who is late but well you can't slaughter an hungry chicken. He stops at his favourite cafe and uses another 15 mins to pick up a baguette and Double Latte Coffe for himself. This guy really has some confidence. He finally arrives at his workplace at 9:00am. If I was his boss his sack letter will be kn his desk as soon as he arrives. His workplace Guner Technologies was a huge skyscraper with his office on the final floor. 

He enters the building and gets to security and realises he has forgotten his employee ID. He tries explaining his position to the guards but they weren't having it. For someone who has been here for a few months, he sure has a thing for being kept waiting. Just as he thinks his day can't get anymore worse his boss walks by him with a sly smirk on his face.

"Good morning Mr Jamel, later than usual today. Let me guess you got into a near death accident where you came out with grace, right?" His boss Mr Callen says and Samuel had no answer to his question. In his whole journey he had prepared a perfect speech to convince his boss but hearing his boss come up with a better one and gearing how ridiculous it even sounds makes him realise he had no excuse "Didn't expect you to say anything" he says a frown on his face "He's with me" Mr Callen says and the guards allow him into the building. Samuel follows his boss closely behind scared out of his mind. He couldn't loose this job most especially not now. They both enter the elevator and it moves still in total silence. They get to the final floor and there they separate.

"Get me the Contract form Bleid Industries and our final bid for the stocks of that other company. Get it to my table in 5 mins" he says and walks away.

"Immediately Sir" he replies Samuel was expecting a sack letter or even a yelling at or something but nothing like that happens. He places a huge grin on his face and settles into his seat just in time to hear his boss' voice again. 

"And get those multi-coloured penguin socks out of my company" Mr Callen says and Samuel looks at his feet realising he is wearing his different coloured penguin socks. He groans and pull them off immediately. He starts to put the files together when he begins looking for one. Yeah one was missing. He searches his whole desk and couldn't find it. Meanwhile in his office Mr Callen was getting inpatient waiting for the files. He has an important meeting and wouldn't want to delay them. He taps his feet in expectation.

Samuel was trying to remember where this document was but it was all to no avail. He starts to prepare another one when his boss yells for him. 

"Sammy you had better get your butt down here or kiss your job goodbye" Mr Callen yells from his office beckoning him the same time for another ridiculous errand that he ought to have completed. When Samuel got this job he believed he had his dream Job. A tech enthusiast working for the CEO of the biggest Tech Company in the whole world. He never knew he just signed up for his worst nightmare. He drops his project, stops searching for the file and start to run to his office. He was was closeby, only a few feet away when the whole world shakes from below. It felt like an earthquake had hit the world as a whole.

Samuel quickly hold on to the doorframe which was the closest to him as he looses his balance and that doesnt stop the world that keeps shaking. The moment it stopped, the whole earth turns dark instantly. An unpredicted eclipse is weird. Just as he start walking into the office to hear a complete meltdown, he was hit by a huge breeze, more like shadow that knocks him to the ground and darkness welcomes me into his bossom.

Elisabeth has refused to give into her dark and deceptive desires as she walks by the bar close to her house. She had been sober for nine months and it hasn't even been easy one bit. Having a bar right down your street wasn't even helping matters at all. She pushes through the urge and finally reaches her home. She quickly barges in scaring her roommate.

"Hey what the hell, is there a war out there or what" she wsks and Elisabeth ignores her running straight for the joint bathroom. She splashes her face with water thrice trying to reduce the need a little. The hunger for it was so strong tonight than ever "Beth are you okay" Lisa calls walking up to the bathroom door and knocking. Elisabeth sits on the toilet seat breathing heavily.

"I'll be fine Lis, I just need a few minutes to get myself back together" She replies and Lisa nods walking away a little pissed that this is the same way she keeps everything to herself. Lisa hates it when she does that but she has to respect her privacy. Elisabeth just couldn't tell her best friend that she was still battling with her addiction even after that long. It takes at the longest three months to get over an addiction but nine month into it and she still can't control herself. Elisabeth rests her head looking at the ceiling lost in thought. She spent a few minutes in there putting herself together before walking out of the bathroom.

Lisa was in their small kitchen putting their dinner together as Elisabeth enters. Elisabeth walks up to the kitchen island and sits at the counter opposite Lisa.

"So tell me Lisa how was your day" Elise asks her friend and she gets silence back as an answer. Lisa continues with whatever she aas doing ignoring her presence totally "let me guess you are mad at me" Elise asks and this time Lisa looks at her.

"No I'm very annoyed. How can we call each other best friends, be living together and you will be going through stuffs and not tell me. Even when I ask you just avoid the topic or give me a one line answer. I have had enough" Lisa snaps at Elise and she was shocked. She wasn't expecting such reaction from her friend. Yeah she has been hiding stuffs from her but it isn't enough for her to go all hell on earth.

"Why didn't you tell me you were hurt by my action" Elise asks and Lisa scoffs.

"Ohh wow, she believes I should tell her I am hurt. What difference would that have made? Nothing, you would still keep hiding things from me and now that I speak you ask me dumb questions" Lisa replies and the last part was a little disrespectful to Elise but she let's it slide.

"I'm so sorry, I just felt somethings are to be kept to oneself and some battles are to be fought alone" Elise replies and Lisa already calm speaks in a lower tone.

"I know you have problem trusting people with your secrets but I am here for you always. I just don't like feeling like communication between us is a one way street" she also and Elise nods.

"I'm sorry I made you feel like that" she says and Lisa comes round the counter and they embrace just in time for the floor to begin to shake. The whole ground shook like the whole house was about to cave in and all of a sudden it stops. A huge blast of wind blows and one of them falls to the ground unconscious as the other tries to save her.

WHAT THE FREAKING HELL IS GOING ON
