The NINJA

Chapter 1 The Beginning

I went to bed and laid down wondering about life. All I've ever wanted to do is truly help someone, to love someone, to protect someone. Not like a superhero, but just someone looking out for everyone. I know it will probably never happen, but I can dream can't I? A few minutes passed by and I fell a sleep finally. All of a sudden, I saw someone sitting against a tree. He seemed to be hurt or wounded. He was wearing all black except part of his face, about his eyes were the only thing not covered, and his fingers. He was looking down at the ground, but he seemed to have a smile on his face, I could tell from his eyes. He was dying, he was losing too much blood. For some odd reason, I felt attracted to his soul, the clothes he wear, the smile he had. I started hearing a chopper  come over to him. His eyes closed slowly as my eyes opened from sleeping, which was freaky. I jumped out of bed a little and shook my head, it just felt really weird. It was time for school, so I got dressed and ready to go wait for the bus. As I walked to where I waited for the bus...I kept seeing him in my head, over and over again. I didn't fall in love with him, it's not like that. But, just something about him sitting against that tree, seemed...familiar, like deja vu. I just shook it off again and got on the bus and sat down and listened to some music on the way to school. We finally arrived at school. I got off the bus and went in and talked with all my friends "Hey, Austin!" One of them hollered at me in a hello sort of way. "Hey, what's up?" I asked them. "Ah, not much. Just chillin' and sittin'!" Nick said. I shook my head up and down and then I sat down and pulled out a deck of cards and played with them, I absolutely love card tricks and card flourishes. *RING* The 1st bell ran, me and my friends walked onto class. We made it over to vocational building and went to digital literacy. "Hey!" Mrs. Wright said to me. One of my favorite teachers. I said "Hey!" Back. We both smiled and went on our way. I sat down in class and then me and my friends started talking and laughing, saying the stupidest things really. The sucky thing was...I'm a senior, my last year. I use to absolutely hate school with a passion, and now I never wanna leave it. After 1st, we went to 2nd, which was gym. Everybody played foursquare while I played basketball. Then after 2nd was 3rd of course. It was math and English, different periods, but just same room. And then finally. my favorite part of the day, Traci's. It was free and just amazing in there. I would get up and walk back forth to building to building and just enjoy it so much. It sucks to be a senior, but it's still awesome. All I can really say is...Enjoy the time you have in school, cause it truly never really lasts forever. I had Traci the rest of the day, 5th, 6th, and 7th. Only bad thing was, not all my friends were in there, But I still had amazing friends in there. After 7th, we all went out and waited for the buses. "So, how's the day been, Nick?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders and said "Ah, Same old, same old." He said. The buses came by. As I walked to the bus, I saw someone having car trouble. I wasn't the best with cars, but anything to help someone. I told Angie to go on as I stayed back to help them. As I drew closer to them, they seemed a little off. I hurried up to them and asked "What's wrong?" The woman looked dead at me with a shocked, sad face and said "Please, help us! My baby's been hurt!" I also got a shocked face and said "What's happened?!" He fell on his head and now the cars quit working on us!" I looked around for my phone, but I left it at the house and asked "Have you called 911?!" She shook her head up and down "Yes, Yes we have! Can you please help us!?" I smiled at her and said "I'm on it!" I waved down the first car, they stopped and also gave me a hand. "Thank you!" I said to him. He nodded his head and said "No problem!" We got some jumping cables. I put the first one on his car and then as I put it on hers, and as I did, it changed my life...forever. I was putting them...*SHOCK* The jumping cables shocked me with over a 1000 watts of electricity surging through my body...I fell unconscious to the ground.......................My eyes opened up as so did I. "What happened?!" I asked myself. As I looked around, all my family and friends were next to me and around my bed. "Austin! You're alive!" I put my head in the palm of my head, kind of like I had an headache, which felt like it. "Do you feel alright?" My mom asked me. "I feel alright, just a little of an headache." I said. "The doctors did an X-ray of you while you were asleep." My dad said. "Well, anything not gonna work anymore?" I asked in a funny way. "You should take this seriously!" My dad said. "I am, but I'm not gonna sit here and let it eat me alive!" I said. The doctors came in and brought food, a hot bowl of soup. "Here let me-AAAHH" The nurse tripped over something as the bowl of hot soup came towards me. I caught the bowl and dodged out of the way of soup. Everybody had shocked faces. "What?" I said. "How did you do that?!" The nurse asked. "Didn't you see it coming at me?" She nodded her head and said "Yeah, at 100 mph!" I shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know, it just came and I saw it slowly, so I dodged out of the way." A few minutes later the actual doctors came in and had their hands on their head, scratching it with just astound faces. "What's wrong?" I asked. They slowly looked up at me and said "It's not what's wrong, but what we can't believe!" I got a little worried "Just tell me." I said. They looked at me with shocked eyes and said "You...Y-You're brain...is just...I can't believe it!" The doctor said uncontrollably. I got out of the hospital bed and walked outside and told the doctor to come with me. "Now, what is it?" I asked the doctor. He just shook his head and said "I don't understand it, but you should be dead right now!" My eyes opened up widely and then I said "What'd ya mean?!" He looked me dead in the eyes and said "You are something extraordinary!" I looked down at the ground " You cells and just all of your brain...It's just...Amazing!" He said. "It's like you can see things slowly, almost before it even happens!" He said. I looked at my hands and asked "But, what does this mean?" He put his hand on my shoulder and said "Instead of it frying your brain...It enhanced it!" When he said that, It completely shocked me. "Austin, You can almost do anything with this. That's why it shocks us, because you should've died with that many watts in your brain. You're a very lucky man to be alive! I just hope you make the right choices in life!" The doctor said with emotion. "Why do you hope I make the right choices?" I asked. He put his clipboard in his armpit and said "The power that you posses could possibly destroy...or make this world great again!" As he closed his eyes. I put my hand on his shoulder and said "Don't worry, I'll make this world great again! I will protect those I love, and defeat those who want to hurt the innocent! I will bring evil to it's knees and make it beg for mercy!" The doctor looked back up at me and said and smiled " I know you can!" I nodded my head and the doctor went back in and told everybody what was going on with me. A few hours later, I finally got to go home. On the ride home, my parents asked me "Well, what now?" I looked forward and said "I don't really know just yet." I said. A minute later we stopped at a gas station. My dad got out and went in to pay for the gas. "You need to decide what you're gonna do with these kind of powers." My mom said. I nodded my head and said "I know, but I just don't know how?" She gave me a smile and said "You'll figure it out, just give it some time." I smiled and nodded my head. *BANG* I looked over quickly and saw someone holding a gun at the register in the store. I saw my dad standing there in fear, I knew I had to do something. I opened the car door and ran towards the side of the building "Hey, what're ya doing?!" My mom yelled at me. I didn't have time to answer. I made it to the side of the building. I was cared, but I knew I could do this. I snuck in through a back door and got behind a few shelves and hid. "Give me the money, NOW!" The man with the gun kept yelling at the register employee. The more steps I took, the easier it became. The employee and my dad slowly watched me move shelf to shelf. "HEY!" The thug yelled out at me. I stopped and got up and came out and then he said " What do you think you're doing?!" He had the gun pointing at me. "I'm doing something I should've had done years ago!" He clicked the gun and said "What is that?" I clenched my fists and said "Standing up to people like you!" I jumped and grabbed his hand with the gun it *BANG* I twisted his wrist as hard as I could, making him drop the gun. I Kicked him between the knee in his right leg, breaking it. "AAAAHHH" He yelled out. I took my hand to his throat and slammed him against he ground. I didn't want to kill him, but he must know better than to do what is wrong. He will not hurt those I love, I won't let it happen. As I held him down, the employee called the cops. A few minutes later the cops arrived and took him to jail "Don't think this is over, I have friends in high places!" The thug said and smiled with an evil look at me. It made me a little scared, but I can't show that I'm afraid. My dad and mom came over and asked "Are you alright!?" I nodded my head and said "I'm fine!" I looked down at my hands again, I still couldn't believe this. The cops came over and asked "Son, how did you do that?" The cops were amazed to hear like some one like me was able to do that. I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders and said "I don't know, I just guess I didn't want people to get hurt." The cops shook their head and said "I don't know how you did it, but you did good!" They went on and smiled. My parents and I got in the car and said "Thank you, you protected me!" My dad said to me. "Dad, I love you, but it just wasn't for you. It was for all of them!" My dad just gave me a big smile as we made it to the house. It was getting pretty late, so I decided to get ready for bed. I went and looked in the mirror, trying to figure out what exactly to do with these new found abilities. I looked down at the sink then back u-...It was the guy I saw in my dream, he was standing in the mirror looking at me. I just froze and almost started freaking out. He didn't look angry or sad or happy. He looked like he needed someone, his eyes looked as if they were droopy, but so calm. He was all still in black, except his fingers and eyes. This time he had a sword on his back. His eyes were green, but my eyes were brown. "What do you want from me?" I asked. He slowly lifted his finger and pointed at me. I stepped to the side, his finger followed me. "Why do you want me?" He slowly put his hands on his mask and started unmasking his self. I sat there in shock. He almost was reveale-"Austin!" My mom yelled. I looked over and looked back, he was gone...
