Chapter 1: His Awakening

[Low pitch Computerized whispers]

"WAKE UP!!" Says an inhuman voice.

The date is September/22/2013, its 5:30 am. He wakes up wiping the sleep off his eyes. Adjusting his eyes he grabs his glasses and then his head, groaning towards the bathroom. Pressing his teeth together he states,

"Ughhhhh this headache is so annoying." he groans.

[Flushing]

[Sink is turned on]

[Quickly brushing teeth and mouth wash]

He makes his way downstairs and is making himself a balanced breakfast. He grabs a pair of headphones hanging on a wall, left of him, and plays his favorite genre electronic music. His blue eyes spark with ambition. Taking about a couple of moments to make his meal, he finishes and moves to the dining room table. All was going perfect, till he turned on the tv. Erupting with noise, the boy quickly presses the remote again, dropping it to volume 1.

"Erich cut that shit off, we trying to sleep." shouts one of his cousins.

His eyebrows rise as he looks towards the stairs. He calmly places the remote down on the table and goes back to finishing his breakfast. Frustration grows subtly in his mind. He looks at the time, its now sic O'clock AM, school starts in the next hour and fifteen minutes. He goes up stairs to change into his uniform and gather his school supplies. He quietly walks up the stairs to his room. After spraying himself with cologne, he goes back downstairs and waits patiently for the others while listening to music. Time is now six-thirty, his family is awake. His Three older cousins come downstairs still in their PJ's and make themselves breakfast. One is seventeen years old, the other eighteen years old and the oldest being twenty years old. Erich does not pay them any attention and continues to read a syllabus, about his grades and upcoming school events. The second oldest cousin approaches him. He makes subtle eye glances, curious as to what his cousin is reading. HE interrupts rudely, after losing interest.

"Alright now enough of this boring school shit. Lets get back to business." he says.

Erichs eyebrows rise. He swallows hard. Tanya, the youngest sibling, in the kitchen with a bowl of cereal, adds in.

"What the fuck Erich? Why always my cereal dammit." she says harshly.

She looks at her cereal as if disgusted. She throws her bowl at Erich, ruining his uniform. Cereal in his fluffy afro, his shoulders, and milk dripping from the tips of his hairs down his face. He grows anxious, his mouth feels dry, skin feeling rough, he hides behind his arms.

"Damn Tanya and John. Can you both not. You know what? Whatever I guess. Don't get upset when one day he fucks you both up." says the eldest cousin.

He walks over to the tv, he grabs the remote.

"Damn bro. You have super hearing or something?" he chuckles at Erich

John grabs his cousin by the collar. With one hand, he lifts him against the back patio window. Erich grabs his arm trying to break free, begging him to stop.

"Why john? What have I done huh? You two have been beating on me since I was five!! I have had enough!! Get off of me!!!!" He cries out.

"Awww look at you trying to defend yourself." John chuckles.

His arm sets a blaze.

"You want your hits too Jerome?"

"Nah fam, but I am warning you, that little nigga tough." replys the eldest cousin.

John shakes his head in disagreement smacking his teeth.

Erich scared to death shouts,

"NOOOO!!!!"
