Death Of The World
Prologue
I'm sixteen going to Saint Marks School for gifted children. I live in New York. My life was pretty plain; that was until I died. My life was short, that is as a human life. It all started the night before thanksgiving.
Chapter 1
Death has come
I was on top of the apartment building, that my family lived in, looking up at the stars. It was a warm night. A breeze brushed through my hair lifting it from my eyes. The apartment complex was eighteen stories high. I don’t know why I was up there that night it felt like something was pulling me up there, mentally. Anyways, a man came out of nowhere. “Hello, Jake. I've waited a very long time to finally meet you. Three hundred years perhaps.” The man said. He was dressed in a purple cape with one of those red hats with a long flat rim surrounding the hats. He had a cane topped with a diamond; all in all he looked like a pimp.
“Who are you?” I asked in a worried tone.
“Pardon me for not introducing myself I am Haru, vampire extraordinaire.”
“Vampires aren’t real. Anyways how’d u get up here?”
“Oh yes boy vampires are all kinds of real just like werewolves and demons, and I climbed with these.”
At that moment he lifted his hand up and five white claw like things shot out of his fingers each about two centimeters long. I jumped back startled. “Now you must die boy!”The man said. He lunged at me without warning. He bared his teeth and there where his canines should have been were two, two centimeter long fangs. He tackled me and shoved me to the ground. His strength was incredible. He took one of his bone like claws and used it to slit his wrist. He shoved his wrist to my mouth and forced me to drink the blood. Then he was gone I heard a growl and a 7 foot wolf came out of nowhere and rammed Haru off the side of the building then the wolf bit me and pushed me off the edge of the building.
At that moment my life flashed before my eyes. Then it was gone. Darkness encountered me and for a split second I thought I saw my dead brother. Then there was a blinding flash of white light then I was on solid ground. I looked down and saw nothing but a very clean white light. I looked around and everywhere I looked I saw that same white light. That’s when the realization hit me...
I was dead.
Chapter 2
The afterlife
I fell to my knees realizing I would never see my family again. Pain ripping through me as tears formed in my eyes. I let all of my energy release and screamed in pain, once I let the last of it go I heard a voice. It spoke in a calm comforting tone at this moment all my worries flowed away as it spoke to me. “Jake you must not worry for I am god. I will send you back but first you must hear me. When I send you back you will not be human anymore. For you will be a servant of god, not a slave. You will still have free will but you will have heavenly powers that you must discover yourself. You will also be the one and only hybrid demi-angel. You are destined to face the root of all evil and it is your choice to either join it or fight it. It is time you must go now my child. You suffered a mere heart attack your body is not damaged. For I hope I will not see you for a long time.”
The white started fading away. I closed my eyes and when I opened them again I was still falling. In that moment my instincts took over and I flipped around. Confidence filled me and I adjusted my body so I was diving towards the ground. The closer I got the more confidence I had; I was just about to hit the ground when I did a quick flip so I was going to land on my feet. As my body was about to hit the ground a new found strength flooded through me I landed in a kneeling position my fist to the ground I was looking down and as I looked up I saw at least 10 people standing there staring at me in horror.
Fear coursed through my body as I realized these people would think I'm some kind of a monster and report me to the government then they would come take me away from my family and experiment on me. I stood up in a panic and started to run. I ripped through the people and ran. The world started blurring as I ran. I stopped and I looked around. I was at my friend David's house. That is at least three miles from where I live. How could I run three miles in only 5 seconds? It was physically impossible, that's when I remember what the voice had said to me when I was dead. “You will not be human anymore...... you will have heavenly powers...”
Chapter 3
Powers
Is this what he meant by heavenly powers? Surviving a fall from eighteen stories off the ground and then running three miles in only 5 seconds. I walked over to David's house and rung the doorbell. 10 seconds later the door opened and a look of surprise crossed his face and he asked “Jake what are you doing here?”
“I need to talk to you, do you have a bit?” I replied
“Sure, come in.” I walked into the house. It was decorated with thanks giving props and fake turkeys. David’s family was pretty cliché when it came to the holidays and decorations. His parents had gone out to buy some supplies for their thanksgiving dinner. He led me into his living room and we sat down on the couch. The light from the full moon lit up the room so we didn’t need any other lights. “So what’s on your mind Jake?” he asked.
“I don't think you'll believe me if I told you.” I replied
“Try me.”
So I told him about my horrendous night and he sat there with a calm look on his face taking it all in. when I finished he looked around for a second and then looked at me and said “so you’re the one.”
“The one what?”
“The chosen one Jake. It is foretold that the one who’ll die by the bite of a wolf and the blood of the dead ones shall hear the voice of god. He shall unite and lead the clans into battle against Lucifer the dark one and his minions. He shall take up the sword of Michael and fight. He will be the one and only krogonian.”
“H-how do you know all of this stuff David, and what is a krogonian?”
“The krogonian is the one and only demi-angle hybrid, and I know this because... I am a werewolf.”
At that moment he fell to the floor and screamed in pain as his bones moved and broke under his skin slowly changing him. The process took about a full minute and once it stopped he was a six foot wolf. In my mind I heard him say, “change into a wolf form and follow me.”
“How am I supposed to do that?” I asked.
“Just think of the person you love most in the world.”
So I thought of my family my mother and father and brothers, instantly I feel to the floor as every bone in my body broke and moved around, my skin stretching, muscles ripping. I started twisting uncontrollably. It had been about ten minutes since the start of the change when I passed out. When I awoke I was in a different place. I looked around and realized I was in a small room on a bed. David was in a chair to my right asleep.
“David?” I called to him.
His eyes opened up and he looked at me and then said, “Hey you’re awake.”
Chapter 4
The clan
It looked like a warehouse except packed with weapons and dummies for practicing with the weapons. There are no guns just old time medieval weapons including bows and arrows.
“What is this place?” I ask
“This is my packs den; each werewolf pack has its own den to prepare for battle.” He replied “The bigger the pack, the bigger the den. So far my pack consists of seventeen werewolves and two humans.”
“Humans?”
“There are some people who want to be part of the pack who came upon us by accident then other’s who are born into the pack. The ones who come upon us by accident must work for us for five years to prove their loyalty, that’s why there are two humans.”
“So then whose pack is this?”
“It’s mine; my grandfather was pack leader before me, and before him my great grandfather.”
“Why wasn’t your father pack leader?”
“Genetics sometimes the werewolf gene will lie dormant in some people.
