Blood tide

Chapter one

Eric was running for his life. Well that's how he described it. Actually, he was running from his siblings, because he accidentally insulted them, and now they were trying to tackle him to the ground, and he would not let that slide!! They were both way older then him, his sister at 19 and his brother at 18, and he, being 16, would be crushed under their combined weight.

"ERIC STORIC GRT YOUT SORRY LITTLE-" His sister, lory, started

"Finish that sentence, I dare you lory." His solder brother, Leo, threatened. Leo never liked cursing.

"SHUT THE HELL UP LEO!!!!!" Lory yelled back at him

Eric snuck away quickly as the two began screaming at one another angrily. Times like this is when he was happy they never got along. According to the count down, the Story Roles could be handed out from between today, to the next Friday. Every year, The government chose 2 families to be part of the story for that year. This year, it was his family, and his friend, Nellie's family. Eric guessed that when the sorting began, Leo would be the hero, and lory would be the villain, but for him exactly, he didn't know what his role could be.

"Kids, dinner!!!" He heard his mother call. Eric ran towards the door. He wanted to get there before his siblings could devour everything, and this time, it was his favorite! His mom had made hamburgers, which were his favorite meal. As he grabbed one of the burgers and bit into it, a sour-sweet flavor spread across his tongue.

"Blech, momma, what's in this?!" He asked, very confused.

"What? everything is the same Eric. same spices, and flavors" His mother responded, confused.

"Tastes fine to me!" His father said, taking a large bite.

"It tastes off!!!" He exclaimed as his siblings came inside.

"What does?" His brother askes, confused, grabbing a burger, and taking a bite. "Blah, momma why is it sweet?"

"The hell you mean sweet?! this is so sour!" His sister exclaimed as she took a bite.

Their mother gasped, and nodded at their wrists. Instead of them being blank, they now had writing on them. Lorys wrist said villain, Leos wrist said hero, and Eric's wrist said vigilante. What? Vigilante wasn't one of the roles though. Immediately, their door crashed open, and government soldiers walked in. this was typical when story roles were decided. The men walked a tight circle around the siblings, and stopped, completely still. The story writer walked forward.

"Storic children your roles have been decided! Bare your wrists to me so I shall write your correct roles!" He exclaimed

The siblings looked at one another, perplexed, and did as the story writer asked. the held out their wrists ands the story writer examined them.

"Ah, yes, hero, villain and.... what's this? Vigilante is not one of the roles!" He shouted "This child is not a character! He should not exist!!"

Eric stared in surprise. Shouldn't exist?!  That was a bit much wasn't it? He backed up as the soldiers stepped closer.

"young man your coming with us" The soldier said gruffly, attempting to grab the teens arm.

"What? No way!!!!" Eric exclaimed, panicking.

As the soldiers crowd around him, he bolted out the door. He ran and he ran and he ran. it was a few hours later, and he didn't know where he was. he was terrified. he looked up and saw a screen. he figurede it would have a time on it. instead he saw his face. 'DANGEROUS OUTLAW! DO NOT APPROACH' it said under his face. He didn't understand. How had this happened?! Outlaw...? His role wasn't in the story line. that's not normal. He was a glitch in the system.

He should have never been given a role
