Rebirth ( Chronicles Of Derek Book One)

PROLOGUE

No one knows when your life will end until its right there in your face. It was just like any other day I hang out with my friends,go to work then I just come home and relax.

I don't have much of an dating life,I'm usually alone and if I have to be honest with myself it doesn't bother me that much. I always been a loner and I never gave it much thought until the last day of my human life.

Humans are a mystery I don't get why they hurt people to satisfy their own greed and blood lust,but that's part of life I guess and everything that begins must come to an end or so I thought.

I was home alone tonight,it's not a bad looking house. It's a two bedroom house with a nice size kitchen and a living room with a fireplace,on the other side of the fireplace is my poor table. I was in the living room on my black leather couch watching a movie, it was the new terminator movie and I was getting into it too until I heard my phone ring. I got up from the couch and started walking past the poor table and down the hall to the room I left my phone in, I picked it up off the nightstand."Hello" I answered.

"Hey Jake what's up?" Danny who happens to be one of my friends responded.

I walked to the living room and sat back down on my couch before responding."nothing much just sitting here watching a movie nothing else to do. What you doing?"

it felt like a minute past since he spoke again."I'm not doing much on my end either. If you not busy how about you come hang out with us?"

It took a minute for me to answer and  think it over I'm not doing anything right now so there's no point in not going."who's all coming along?" I asked.

"Just Jason, Brandon and including me and you. We going to an house party if you want to come." Danny said.

His voice seems a bit off but it's probably nothing to worry about besides he's my friend what could go wrong.

" Sure I'll come, let me get ready and you send me the address alright?" I started to get up and head to my room when Danny responded.

" OK I'll see you then."

I was about to respond but he already hung up. I started getting ready, taking a shower then putting on new clothes.

After I was done with that I got in the car and looked the address he sent me up,it took me 30 minutes to get there and it was close to midnight. I hope I'm not late. I thought to myself. When I got there it looked like there weren't anyone here but one car and that's my friends. I opened the door and got out and walked over to them after looking around we're surrounded by trees and the house looks old.

" Hey guys I thought there was a party what's up?"

Danny was the one that spoke first it was dark and his light brown hair look pitch black at night he was around my height and I'm 6'2, The tallest one in this group.

"There is we got here a little early to check it out come on."He said.

"Yeah it looks pretty cool and you know how much we love these kind of houses." Brandon was the second to comment. Jason stayed quiet, I could never get a read on him, he's what we call a silent type.

I decided to go with them and we went in the house,I started looking around but it was too dark that I couldn't make out a single detail, but I should have been more cautious because I felt a sharp pain in my back. I fell to my knees I was bleeding and the pain was too great Danny kicked me and I landed on my stomach then he kicked me again so I'm on my back looking up at him.

I looked up and there they were my friends I grew up with and the ones I trusted looking down at me with crooked grins. I managed to get enough strength to finally speak.

"why? Tell me why the fuck you would do this? I thought we were friends."

They all laughed and Danny kneeled down by my side,his grin still in place.

"we were never your friends we had to put up with you and we got tired of you acting like you were better than us. It's time to put you out of your misery goodbye Jake."

"I'll see you in hell you piece of shit."I said with all the anger I could manage.

And with that he plunge the knife in my heart and I drew my last breath.

My name is Jake Henry and this is my story.
