The Sixth Sense

Revelations

Thunder roared and lightning cracked across the sky. A young boy, no older than 5, looked around. He had shaggy white hair, and empty black eyes. He was searching for signs if life, yet all he saw was grass. Field after field of grass. It started raining, hard. The next thing he knew he heard a voice.

"I've been waiting for you Xeno."

"Who are you? How do you know my name? Where are you?" He looked around frantically for the source of the voice, but he found nothing.

"So you can't see me? What a shame. And here I thought that you would be able to see me. Oh well."

"Who are you?! Answer me!" But he got nothing in return. Just the rolling thunder and the crackling lightning. The next thing he knew, he was struck by lightning and he woke up. "It was all just a dream? But it couldn't have been. It all felt so real."

"Cameron, time to get up!"

"Yes mother, I'm getting up!" He got up off of his bed and went through his morning routine to get ready for school.

"What are you doing?" A voice whispered to him.

"You're that same voice from my dream! But how?! It was only a dream."

The voice whispered, "Oh, but it wasn't a dream. It was all real."

"If it was real, then show yourself!" He yelled the last part.

"Fine, if I must." A tall, dark man appeared out of nowhere. He had long, black hair, and he wore an all black suit. "My name is Alucard."

"OK, so what exactly are you Alucard?" He looked around at the clock in his room. "I don't have time for this. I have to get ready for school." He walked right through Alucard and went on with his morning routine. He got on the bus, and went through school. During lunch though, he started noticing strange things. Ghosts were everywhere. "Alucard, why are there so many ghosts around here?"

Alucard appeared out of nowhere. "So, you can finally see them? I didn't think you could."

"Yes I can see them, but why are there so many?"

"Well, I can't exactly tell you. You have to figure that out on your own."

"Fine, if I must." He walked to his next class and went on with the rest of the school day. Once he got home, he went straight to his room. "Alucard, why am I seeing these spirits? Why does it have to be me?"

"I wish I knew. Personally I would've rather it been your sister because she's older and she seems to understand this stuff more than you do."

A wave of hurt crashed into him. "So I'm not good enough for you? Is that it?"

"I never said that! I only said that I would prefer your sister!"

"Whatever, just leave me alone." He waved his hand and Alucard disappeared. "Woah, how did I do that?" He continued to just sit in his room and think. Later that night, he noticed something outside his window. It wasn't anything that he had ever seen before.

It had pale skin and a cloak that covered its face and body.

"Its a watcher."

He spun around to see Alucard standing behind him. "What exactly is a watcher? What do they do?"

"They do as the name suggests, they watch. Someone or something has taken an interest in you. I want you to be careful for the next few days, and listen around, the spirits may say something about it."

"Am I going to die?"

"No," Alucard gave him a weird look, " you're not gonna die. You're far too valuable to be killed right now."

"What do you mean far too valuable?"

"I mean that someday you may take over your fathers position."

"As a coal miner? I don't want to be a coal miner."

"Not him, your actual father. I can't tell you who he is or what he does. Just trust me that you are far to valuable to be killed."

"Okay, if you say so." He went and laid down and fell asleep. The next thing he knew, he was taken away to that dream world once more, the world where he had first heard Alucard's voice.
