The Night was quiet and contained. Nothing dared make a noise but, inside life stirred as if it was daylight. Elias sat on his couch watching TV without much care. The humming and buzzing of the TV filled the void of silence that came with night.
Elias: "God, this show is so boring. Who watches this crap for fun?"
Elias sat up on the couch and reached for the remote to turn off the TV.
Elias: "I need to get to bed."
He yawned while looking at the clock which read 1:21 am. He slowly walked to the bathroom and began brushing his teeth. After spitting out the toothpaste he heard noise, VWOOS, this followed by the sound of shattering glass set panic in his frame.
Elias: "What the hell was that!?"
He quickly ducked down and started shifting out of the bathroom. He thought to himself 'Shit were getting robbed aren't we' he shuffled behind his couch as he heard large crashing from the kitchen. His heartbeat reminiscent of a Helicopter taking off.
He looked up to see a large figure shrouded in shadow and darkness. It wore a cloak that glowed with ethereal elegance. It had large hands ending in claws and held a large black tinted sword in its left hand. Elias accidently made the floor creak as it turned around. This caused Elias to quickly back up. He ended up running into something, upon looking up he saw another figure looking down at him.
Elias: "Fuck!"
Elias ducked out of the way as it went to grab him. He quickly ran to his parents' bedroom. He crashed through the door falling to the ground.
Elias: "Mom! Dad! We need to get go-"
his voice came to a rushing halt as he saw illuminated in moonlight, his parents' corpses. He collapsed to his knees yelling out. The creatures entered the room and loomed over Elias. One grabbed him by his collar as he struggled to get out of its grasp.
Above the house in the night sky, a being floated. It looked down seemingly through the walls of the house. Its pupils followed Elias.
Elias fell limp in the grasp of the creature. Suddenly Elias grabbed onto the wrist of it and looked straight into its piercing glowing eyes.
Elias: "Let go of me."
The being above the house narrowed its eyes and began paying closer attention. It waited for Elias next move.
Elias: "I said, LET GO OF ME DAMMIT!"
Elias reared back his fist and through it with as much power he could muster. It connected with the creatures' face, and it ended up dropping Elias. The creature was more so in shock then it was injured.
Elias: "You're going to pay for my parents!"
just as Elias made that statement the others began piling on him. A large beam of light appeared, and the creatures were thrown off of Elias as the being from above the house was standing in front of Elias.
Mysterious Man: "I have a proposition to offer you. If you take my hand ill save you from these creatures but, if you do, know there is no going back"
the being smiled down at him. Elias sat there and took in his situation. This man that looked no older than 23 said he could save him from these creatures. How could he though? Elias grabbed his hand.
Elias: "Please, help me out of this, for my parents' sake."
The young man dissipated just as the creatures attacked Elias again. Elias' body sent out a surge and knocked everything back. He heard a voice in his head that said,
Gabriel: 'My name is Gabriel and what we just did is called soul binding.'
