The Marked

Chapter 1

When the wind blows where we stop nobody know's

Someone once told me be careful of what you wish for. I didn't know what that meant till now.

Me and my sister just moved in. We never really liked the big cities so we always went country. We decided to just go to the small town of "Vine Line." I personally never liked it here because its a little too small but who cares what I think. My name is Zelde. Nickname Zidane. I am an archer and a big fan of the vampire, magic, romance, and gay books. No I am not gay I am just really fascinated that's all. I prefer dragons and magic over everything. My sister is the complete opposite. She prefers science fiction and mystery. But we always find a book that has both the genres we like. Therefor we always get along. I am a 16 year old boy and sometimes I happen to be more mature like I am actually 18. My life is really pleasant. My life can't possibly get any worse.

I was so wrong. My life did get worse. Now I am officially 17. My birthday was or is today. Who is spending it with me no one. Why you ask, because I have no more family. My sister died of cancer one month ago. I don't know where my other family is. So I am alone. Well not really because I have my good friend Gianna there for me. I have a horrible school life. I get straight A's but no one there likes me. Yeah I have my little group of friends but they don't understand how I feel sometimes. I hope I can just become someone different. Later on that day I decided to just stay home from work and relax for the day. I wasn't really energized for the day. My friends are all going to a party; yes they invited me but I am an anti social person. I don't like to talk to a lot of people who I don't know. Maybe that is why I only have my inner circle to be there for me. Yes they are really good friends but they are all out going and I am more self dependent. I don't like to depend on other people because if I let them down I will never forgive myself. That is also why I depend on myself and no one else. I don't want to be let down. So for now I am just going to lay down on the couch and eat some delivered Chinese.

I heard a knock at the door. A very tall man was standing at my doorway. He looked like a person in a movie. Maybe he is going to give me a job since I need one. My life has been in a downward spiral ever since the death of my sister. Then that is when the man grabbed my arm. Piercing pain was running through my arm like someone burning something on it with a hot iron rod. I blacked out glad the pain was over.
