Chapter 1: Awakened

Death, such a strange thing.

It will come to you anytime because anything can happen to you in life that will cause you to fall to your death.

For me, it came in my sleep. How did I know I died? Well I was conscious the whole time, just that i couldn't move a muscle, i could feel my body getting colder by the minute but strangely for me that is, my brain did not shut down like every dead person.

I tried moving my body but couldn't, it's like my connection was cut off. At first I thought it was because my body's heart wasn't beating anymore but I was wrong, when I got buried that's when it started.

The changes, whatever it is. I could feel it is a good thing, my eyes were closed the entire time and I could track and feel those changes, my blood moved by itself inside my body as if it's alive, it came with a burning sensation at first when it started moving but it subsided later on.

My heart remained un-beating but I could feel it changing its shape into a new organ of sorts, what? I don't know. My other organs remain unchanged, but next came my skin and flesh then my eyes, i could feel the burning sensation but it goes away the second it came, the process was on going for what felt like an eternity.

It only finished when I kept feeling something like a switch being pushed in my brain. It came next as a headache so intense, if i could move my body i would've screamed my lungs out.

After the headache I was able to move, Finally I thought.

But how do I get out of my grave? I have no idea how but something in the back of my head is telling me to dig so i did exactly that.

It took hours to dig myself out and I wasn't wearing any clothes at all but before thinking about clothes I vomited lots and lots of dirt.

Once I was done, I looked around and saw no one as it was night time but before i could move something caught my attention!

My body on the outside changed, now i'm more muscular and my skin is pale, i didn't question what happened to me, instead i put my hand on my chest to see if the changes weren't mere hallucinations, there was no heartbeat and the only thing i could feel is how colder my skin is.

The thing in the back of my head gave me a logical? Things to do again, i don't know what it is but i think it's an ability? Seeing that i'm no longer human i think an ability that comes with the new changes is logical? I think? According to novels and fanfics anyway.

I shrugged the thought and followed whatever ability I have, I spotted the entrance of the graveyard and ran towards it, and i'm telling you i was fast, one minute i was besides my grave the next next to the entrance door.

I grabbed the handle and pulled, instead of opening the door i broke the handle off, i frowned with this much strength why did i not just try to jump off the wall, i stepped away but before i try to jump i went back to my grave and put the dirt back in so no one questions what happened, then i ran toward the wall i could feel i'm running at super flashing speed and made the jump which was high, once i was over the wall i rolled on the ground but didn't get a scratch from the fall.

I stood and straightened myself, and ran in one direction to look for something to wear.
