HalfTale

Chapter 1 (Xeno)

Xeno's POV:

God damnit! How many of these assholes are gonna come after me!?

Currently, I'm running from some stupid government agents.

Why, you may ask?

'Cause I just broke out of their lab after being used as a test subject for 8 FUCKING YEARS!!

I'm what you'd call a Half-Breed, a supposedly extinct species.

After the Barrier was formed, all Half-Breeds (whether mostly human, monster, or equal) were hunted down. After all, why would Humans want Monster genes running through there children's veins? Humans have always been a species of assholes. Because of this, over half the population was wiped out. (A/N): Didn't take long to find the cost I was talking about did it?

Anyways that's not the point.

Right now, I'm running to Mt. Ebbot. Yes, the very same place the Monsters are sealed away.

Hey, I'm not the first. Just about a year ago, someone else ran there too. After all, if you find out that you were living in a village entirely filled to the brim with actors pretending to be your friends and family, what else do you do other than run away?

"Stop huff running!! You won't escape! Hahh, huff" And there's an agent to ruin my thought process. Right on schedule.

"Why would I stop!? Your the only one here who's out of breath Agent Shithead!!!" I stuck my tongue out while running backwards. (A/N): Just cause he's 18 doesn't mean he's mature.

Still running backwards, I noticed something. The Agent was alone.

Welp, this is gonna be easier than I thought...

"YOU BRAT!!!" Oh look he's pulling out a gun. Oh nooooo.

Silently, I stopped moving, unsheathed my sword and waited in a limp position. As soon as the gun fired, I focused on the bullet and quickly swung my sword right in the crosshair.

"Wha-" was all he got out before I slit his throat. His body went limp and fell to the ground. With him out of the way, I chuckled to myself.

"Looks like I don't need to run."

But of course, I had to go and trip a flag. I noticed a light flying towards me, and on further inspection, realized it was a helicopter. One person (looks like they have a megaphone?) shouted:

"PUT YOUR WEAPON ON THE GROUND AND COME WITH US QUIETLY!!! OTHERWISE WE WILL USE FORCE!!"

"Fuck." Was all that came out of my mouth.

I continued to run. Normally, I would've just taken out the helicopter, but with all the trees in this place, it would probably start a forest fi-

I cut myself off as I felt a sharp pain in my shoulder.

"AUGH SHIT!!!" 

Damn, they've got a sniper!

While trying to think of my next move, I felt another sharp pain in my lower leg.

"FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!" At this rate, I'm gonna lose too much blood.

...Ya know what? Since when do I care about nature?

Before they could shoot me again, I spun around and threw my sword at the helicopter. They saw, and tried to move away, but my sword cut the tail right off, causing it to spin out of control.

I heard the crash but decided not to pay attention to it. 

All that matters is getting to the Underground.

~5 minutes later...~

I'm running low on blood...

I've been running for a while, but finally made it to the cave on Mt. Ebbot.

My vision was getting hazy, and I couldn't run anymore.

"Where...Is...It..?" I looked around, but couldn't see an entrance to the underground.

But then I felt something tug on my foot. I tripped, since I could barely stand anyway, and fell down what seemed like a bottomless pit.

~~~~~~~~~~

(A/N): Welp, that's the end of Chapter 1. I've got a couple questions for anyone who might actually read the Author's Note.

1. First, what do you think of my writing style? I like doing first person, as it let's you more so understand what the character is thinking, instead of just interpreting it from a third person perspective.

2. Anyone actually want more of this story?

3. Want the original Chapter 1 from my Harry Potter notebook? It's MUCH more cringey than this. I didn't even really use the original version as a reference cuz I know that it's shit. And yes it was written in a Harry Potter notebook. 13 of the chapters were, which is the entirety of Act 1 (Part 1, the First Arc, whatever you wanna call it.)

4. Do you want a baby Hydra in the story? They're fuckin adorable tbh.

5. Finally, what are your opinions on the plot? I think it's pretty interesting at times, but other times it can make little to no sense. I mean other than school stuff (which I don't have very high marks in) this is literally the first thing I've ever written. Hell it's the first thing I've actually taken the time to RE-write.

Anyways, you don't actually have to answer these questions, I just wanted to ask them.

Question 2 is kinda irrelevant, cuz Imma just continue writing this even if literally zero people want me too.

Question 4 is not a joke. It's a serious question.

Anyways, the chapter may seem short, but that's just because of the way the chapters are. Think of books like The Maze Runner. Some chapters are less than two pages long. And plus, I was literally writing in a NOTEBOOK. A notebook that I used for an insane amount of other shit.

Well that's all I had to say so once again:

Have a TERRIBLE day!

Oh, wait I was supposed to say great...
