Turner | Spies Story

Chapter Eight

Chapter Eight:

Jack Age: 9

Tim, Shadow and I have been on the road for who knows how long now. Tim and I were sitting around a campfire.

We were wanted.

We stayed away from the City, we moved from village to village for clothes and items of use. As for food and water we hunted mostly. Shadow and Tim didn't know much about hunting but what they learned they taught me, and we learned quickly about snares and tracking methods.

Tim was holding and turning his five seven handgun in his hands. He was clearly thinking about something.

I was turning to three rabbits that Tim and I caught, I was slowly roasting them over the fire.

Shadow was out at a village about a half hour walk from here, he was getting winter clothes. For the most part we found shelter in the winter, but things were different now, we were all tired.

"Tim, can you take over for a bit?" I asked, I wanted to go back to reading a history book I found.

"What? Oh, ya sure." Tim was broken from his daze. He took the spot where I was sitting, so he could get a better angle on the Rabbits.

I walked over to the history book and opened it back to where I was sitting. The cover said history, but I could swear that it was fiction.

The book was talking about a group of heroes, they were mentioned a lot when I was little, but now that's it's just Shadow, Tim and myself, I don't really hear about them anymore.

The Spies Protectors that's what there called.

In the book it says that the team was formed from nothing and there Leader created the team to kill his step father. The Spies were a small group of only a few heroes and how they were then killed off by Black Hole Jr. And since then they became more and more like a story.

After a bit of reading I decided to roll over and go to sleep. I woke up to the noise of birds calling. I rolled over, "Something is wrong." I thought, "Shadow and Tim wake me up before dawn." I rubbed my eyes and looked around the camp, There was no one.

I was alone.

Tim's bag was gone, Shadows bag was gone. There was footprints that fit both Tim and Shadow, Maybe they went to get supplies and just forgot to tell me. So I looked around for my pad of paper.

Luckily I found it, and on my pad of paper there was writing in Tim's handwriting.

Jack,

I'm sorry, But I have to go, My father has been at large for too long and I know I can stop him with the proper training, I heard about the Spy Ops are reforming, There a old military that is around the world. There making a team in the City. I plan to get the training and go take my Father down. But don't worry Shadow will take good care of you, We will meet again one day,

Brother...

Your Friend, Tim Oswald

My mind went into overdrive. Shadow isn't here, I looked down next to the note, and I saw Tim's handgun, He left it for me.

I then noticed a note next to where Tim's sleeping bag was.

Dear Tim,

I'm sorry I'm doing this,

My Kingdom has fallen many years ago, I must search for whatever is left of it. I'm sorry to leave Jack alone with you, But it is something I have to do. Goodbye old friend, Take care of Jack for me. And may we meet again.

Your Friend, Max Shadow.

Tears formed in my eyes, They both left me?

I understood why, but, They left me clearly not knowing that the other was leaving.

I started to cry, for hours.

For the first time in my life I was truly alone. After a few hours of crying, I picked up everything I could that was around the camp. There was a hunting knife, a few cans of food, some leftover rabbit, Shadows Necklace, Tim's Five seven and a bunch of other stuff.

My Staff Of Guidance, which was standing up in the ground nearby, The green crystal began to glow.

I looked over at the staff, With the fire out, and the sun coming up this was the main light source.

That's when the glow stopped, and a Man appeared, only he was glowing green, and he was see though, He was almost floating.

I knew he was coming from the Staff, and I knew he wasn't real.

"Hello Jack Turner, How are you today?" The man asked

I tilted my head in surprise.

"Ah, Right, You probably go by something else,Jack Blade is your legal name correct? Well boy let me give you some background on why I'm here, Basically I download my mind into the staff something like five hundred years ago? My godfather Dave, told me that a legendary warrior would one day have the power to kill anyone that looked at him the wrong way. That warrior is you Jack, however there has to be a certain set of actions that must be set in motion. One of those actions are what I'm about to say, Jack you must return home. Your home is waiting. However you will need to do some things first.

Listen up, I need you to learn about who else is out there. There are many powerful groups of people, Some call themselves The Risen, and in the near future more allies will rise you one day aid you in the Ulimate battle that is yet to come, The Super Force, The Hybrids just to name a few, but whatever they call themselves it doesn't matter. You must find these teams Jack, but most importantly you must find Tony Blade, and you must end his life!"
