The Prophesied Elemental

Ch. 1 - The kidnapping.

King Pov

The same thing everyday, I feel like a robot staring at the clock I realise it was 3am. Knowing me I won't be sleeping anytime soon. I usually have nightmares of... I rather not go there. Sighing I lift my tired self to make cereal, it's not my favorite but you don't get what you want in life.

I can't remember the last time I stocked the fridge,  except a quarter bottle of milk, ten loaves of bread and the last cereal which I just turned into my bowl then my fridge is stocked with food, sacastic I know right. Sitting on the squeaky stool, I went over my schedule for today, which isn't much to go through. Item
1. Shove some snow from Mrs Grey's garage.
2. Then start my shift at the cafe.

Well done Daniel Aaron Wellington you are living the life at twenty six!

My phone's ringing brought me back to reality. Picking the phone I deliberated if picking it would be the right choice.

Ignore the call, being unemployed will definitely pay the bill.

You have a point but try not to be sarcastic next time choosing the latter. I can't afford being unemployed I placed the phone on speak out.

'Get your sorry self here this instant!' Gary yield, some nerves of employers.

'Why, my shift doesn't start till 8am so...'

'Have you checked your messages!, I sent you a notice, now I want to see you at work or you are fired!. The line went dead after that.

Sighing I gulped the rest of my breakfast and dashed out to 'work'. The problem Gary had with me was the fact that his father had a soft spot for me and most customers would ask for me to serve them. If I were him I'd treat me like royalty, buy nope he takes advantage of every opportunity to threaten me with I will kick you out the door statement. For crying out loud, he gets all the money at the end of the day!

The walk to the coffee shop was twenty minutes if I hurried, which am kinda doing. I pass a group of men, they looked different- something was off about them. Shaking the feeling off I entered into the café expecting Gary to start ranting about my behavior....

'Thank goodness you are here! Take, serve table five"she handed the tray to me and turned.

What is happening, the café was full no wonder he needed my help. I reached the table serving them their coffee. The table had five men in business suits, they stopped chatting when I reached the table. I wonder if there was a summit here or something.

I made the mistake of looking at the table next to the table I was serving. The guys I met earlier were already looking at me I began to feel hot.

Strange

I know right, Turning I rushed to the counter.

'Becky I need to use the restroom I will be back', not waiting for her reply I dashed to the washroom. I splashed some water on my face but it didn't help. My chest felt like it was on fire, taking off my shirt I stared at the diamond shaped birth mark I had on my chest. It usually disappears, but this time it was glowing red, I can't explain why but I have the need to hide from those men.

I stared at the man in the mirror, a young man with a mysterious past and birth mark. Wearing my shirt I decided to go home, damn this job I need to rest.
I walk, more like run to the house, but I notice the men from earlier were.... oh no are they following me?.

This was my territory I knew every short cut, I took a detour to the house. Locking the door I looked out to find out I lost them.

'Good' I thought, but the burn was still there.

'What kind of birthmark disappears and glow red when it pleases? I hope I haven't been infected by some virus or disease. I entered my apartment falling on the bed, why would those men be after me for what?.

Since am home I could take advantage of that to rest, I could come up with an excuse to Gary, if he doesn't believe it and fires so be it. I need to change job anyways. I looked at the room it dawned on me how life has been. Sighing I decided not to think of anything depressing and slept.

Suddenly the fire alarm went on, rubbing my ears I listened to the alarm, groaning.

'Who is in trouble now?' It wasn't abnormal to hear the fire alarm at this time. I sat on my bed reminiscing about today.

What triggered the mark to glow red and who were those men?

The alarm wasn't off yet, could it be real this time? opening the door I was greeted with flames of fire, shutting the door immediately I began to panic.

'Calm down, you are not dying today'

yeah course you will walk through the fire, what are you, a fireman?

Or I could jump through the window.

Good idea and break your neck, very smart.

What will you have me do?! I was packing my stuff, which filled one back pack. Checking if I forgot any important item. I zipped the bag contemplating my choices. A Jump through the window had a survival probability of sixty to forty percent. If I run through the fire, I'll definitely get away with third degree burns but still survive.

Well here goes nothing, opening the door I run out like a mad man. Jumping over falling door frames and caving in ceilings, the strange thing was that I still felt.... normal?

'That's the boy get him!'

I looked for the owner of the voice but couldn't see anyone. On instinct I started running, to where? I have no idea. Suddenly a hand grabbed me, covering my mouth in the process.

'Shh, be quiet we will help you escape'

'Jane I got him let's go!'

What have I gotten myself into? I closed my eyes praying I was in safe hands.

'Open your eyes' The same voice said.

I peeked first but we were somewhere else, like a park.

'How?'

'I teleported us' she said like she was talking about the weather.

I'm not surprise at all, I need a change in my life and secondly it makes sense how we got here.

'Cool, and what did she do?' I pointed to the red head.

'She covered our track'.

'Okay, so...' I said wanting an explanation, but I got none, rather red head said:

'An elemental will be born heir to all. He will be the one to defeat the great evil that will arise. He will be hidden to all, until the time is right.....'

'Stop, why does it sound like a movie I have watched? is this a prank?' I asked looking for any hidden camera around.

'No it isn't, all you have to do is to activate your powers to believe'

'Yh, about that .. you do know I am human right?'

'Yes, a human who walked through fire' Blondy said

'The prophesy chose you! I wonder why though you don't even look like it' red head said, is it safe to say I do not like her.

'Ouch that stung' I thought.

'Good, I don't look the part we can part ways now. Thank you for saving me, I am not interested go find someone else.' I told them dusting the dirt off my trousers.

I won't take any form of belittling from some strangers.

'Well, I guess you want it the hard way'

Before I could tell everything went blank.

'Oh boy am being kidnapped, in broad day light too!' that was my last thought.
