Frozen flames--A Dream?

Chapter 1

         I went to school like a normal child, I did normal things like a normal child, but I was not normal. Call me supernatural but fire is ice and ice is fire. When I feel fire, I am cold, when I feel ice, I am hot. My name is Alex, and my life was somewhat normal, until they took me...

This book is my story, my life of what I had to live through. I remember it perfectly because it terrified me. I still have dreams of them... whispering "go to sleep" Anyway, This is my story.

I was walking home the first time they captured me. I had heard of strange people like me in fantasy books and that whatnot. I also read about these people who called them self Shil'm at the time. They were an organization that captured supernatural beings. I was walking home from school (because I live too close to school to ride the bus) and I saw a van with a strange symbol on it. I didn't know at the time, but the snake eating the mouse on the symbol represented their superior to us.

So I started walking faster because it looked as if they were following me. It wasn't long until three of them got out with machine guns, Then I started running. They chased me into my home and I ran upstairs into my parent's room, hoping my parents would be in there. I ran in and shut the door, I then locked it. Then I saw them, my parents were in the room. They were dead.

They were still in bed sleeping next to each other. My mother had a gun wound in the center of her forehead. My father looked unrecognizable, it looked as if he had been stabbed over and over again with a knife. There was blood all over my father's side of the bed. I never forgot the feeling, when I fell, to the ground, and sobbed. The strange men ran into the room and took me. Away from my dead parents, away from my life. I screamed as loud as I could, but they didn't care. That was the day, My life changed...

I was a bloody fool back then. I did not fight back, I let them blindfold me and push me into what I think was their van. I was still sobbing, they ripped my shirt off and I could feel the cold muzzle of the machine gun pressed against my back. I did not know where they took me, I could not hear anything, they were completely silent. When I was forced to get out I realized we must be there. They tore off the blindfold and escorted me down a long hallway. At the end of the hallway there was a large door, They had to scan several key cards and scan their eyes to get in. What lied behind the door was something I would have never guessed in my entire life.
