Årmageddon

Chapter 1

Blair trudged along to school as several other high schoolers made their way into the school compound. A light sigh escaped his lip as he walked into the school hallway. He had just been transferred into Newsgate city after the tragic death of his father and had to cope in a strange land. He silently walked into his new classroom as the bell rang. He sat at the far end of the classroom, took off his backpack and took out his notes. "Hi, I'm Craig"; The boy sitting in front of him said, smiling innocently at him, expecting an answer." Ohh, H..hi, I'm Blair"; Blair said as he tried avoiding the boy's curious gaze. "Nice to meet you, Blair. I'm new here... Would you like to be friends?". "Umm... Sure, I guess", Blair replied, almost reluctantly. "Great!" Craig said as he grinned from ear to ear. A young looking man entered, scanned the classroom and cleared his throat as he spoke; "My name is Michael Browns but you all can simply refer to me as Mr. Browns. I will be your homeroom teacher. First off, I would like to welcome you all to Newsgate High school. We are highly ecstatic to receive you, new blood here in our prestigious institution and as we progress further, I expect maximum cooperation from each and everyone of you and I would do my very best to bring out the best in you, all. I would also like to inform you all that your welcoming ceremony will take place later today. I wish you all everything good you could simply think of". The end of his speech was followed by a thundering round of applause. Micheal grabbed a chalk and said while facing the board,"Let's begin today's teaching...........

Blair and Craig walked away from the school building and down the street as the sun slowly began to set. "School was really fun, today. The speech from both Mr. Browns and the principal during the welcoming ceremony were awesome... Say Blair, Did you also have fun?" Craig said as he stared up at Blair. "Ohh... Umm, yeah, It was okay" Blair said, facing the ground. "You don't talk much, do you?", "...N..no", "Anything the matter?", "N...no, it's nothing", "You're sure?", "Y..yeah", "Okay then...if you say so, but if anything's bothering you, anything at all, dont hesitate to reach out to me, alright?". Craig said as he pat Blair lightly on the back, smiling. "S..sure" Blair said as he smiled back at him. "You know?, This is actually the first time I've seen you smile", Craig said as he smiled even more. "Is it?", "Hmmhmm..". Craig pulled at Blair's arm as he said, "C'mon, my house is just around the corner".......

"Thanks for walking me home, Blair..., Craig said as they both stopped in front of Craig's house,...Would you like to come inside?, My mum'd love to meet you", "N..no, maybe next time?", "Ohh..sure. See you at school tomorrow, Blair" Craig said as he took off, waving at him. Blair stood, smiling as he waved back and as soon as Craig entered his house, he turned and started heading down the street.
Blair silently walked, smiling to himself as he reminisced about the fun times he had with his father. His father could be seen as a little eccentric but was a very good and kind man. He and his father would go to different places like the amusement park, the movie theater, the mall until one day, he got missing and was pronounced dead. Blair looked round and noticed that almost no one was outside again, "It's getting a little too late.. I'd better hurry home", He said as he looked up at the sky and increasing his pace. As he walked further, he noticed a black figure moving towards him. He stopped and looked at the figure, thinking it was a person. The figure walked slowly and gradually started to increase his pace as he moved swiftly towards Blair, who stood still, confused. As the figure reached him, a winged girl sped towards them and punched the figure towards a nearby, uncompleted building. "What in Good God's name are you doing out here?", The mysterious girl said. Blair looked up at the girl in awe, at the girl's beauty "Wow..", "Hey, Romeo... You dropped your tongue, I believe I asked you a question", "O..ohh, I was just getting back home from school", "From school, huh?" "Yeah.....sorry, who are you?", "I....am a Diviner and That...is a demon from the underworld". Blair looked at the dark figure, which began to stand up again. "Is that really a demon?", "Believe it or not, it is. No amount of doubt or disbelief will change that. They feed on the negative thoughts, emotions and souls of humans and they become more powerful but that one in particular was sent here.." "Sent here?", "Yeah... I'll explain later"," Why are you telling me all this?", "You are a human, too. If the demons of hell are after humans like you, The least I could do is tell you what I know. You deserve this much... Stand back, though. This is about to get ugly".....
