I woke up with the birds chirping outside my window. I sat up and looked around. It wasnt my room. It was the room that Zeke-guy put me in. The one that the guy from my dreams was in.
I looked around but noone was in there. So the guy was imaginary.
I got out of the bed and opened the door. It was quiet. The kids must be at school.
I went down the creaky stairs. And into the kitchen.
There were a couple of teens in there. Including the guy from my dreams. Marcus. He smiled at me. He drank a dark red liquid from a tall glass cup, him and a few others. Was that blood?
I almost fainted, but thank goodness Zeke was there. "Come on I'll explain everything upstairs." He said, grabbing my arm and leading me up the staircase.
"Sit" He said. I did as I was told. He opened the door. "Marcus! Get up here!" He yelled. Then in about two seconds or less Marcus was at the door.
"Okay Annabell, your problay wondering why youre here huh?" Zeke asked. "Well duh" I responded. Marcus snickered.
"Youre special. Your not just an ordinary human. You have immortal-like qualities." He said. "So im not human?" I asked." Well, half and half." He said.
"Okay. Then why did you kid-nap me?" I asked. "Because you were in danger. Those things you hear and see are called shadow creatures, they work for this man named Immortalus. They have been watching you since the day you were born but so have we." He said. "And who are you?" I asked." Well were like your body guards." He said. "Okay so why have a been watched since I was a baby?" I asked." Because, you have power. Not like hocus-pocus crap but like actual high-quality power. Stronger than me and Marcus put together." He said.
"Wait no no no. You've got the wrong person" I said. "Im just a freak!" I said standing up.
"No your not. Your special just like everybody who lives here. " Marcus said.
"so the guy is trying to kill me?" I asked." Well, drain you of all your power then you'll be dead. so yeah." He said.
"And that's why we have to protect you." Marcus said. "So your gonna kill him?" I asked. They laughed. "You cant kill somthing that's already dead. Immortalus is cold-hearted, and full of hatred. The best thing we can do is trap him in the underworld for a century or two, but he'll get out and when he does he'll be pissed." Zeke explained.
"You said half and half. What am I half of?" I asked. "A demon" He said.
That's when I fainted. A demon?? Come on!
