Heroes In The Dark

Chapter 1

Its 6 in the morning. The sky is gray, I hear screaming, and it smells. A typical day in New Philadelphia. I check the fridge knowing that there isn't anything in there to eat. I would go to the store but I don't have any money. Oh yea I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Silo. I have the power to teleport instantly across a 3 mile radius. Nothing like what my fath-Enoch could do. Anyway back to the story. So I go to the store to steal some food. For being the son of the greatest hero of all time that's pretty low, but why would I care. Especially in this day and age. I  teleport in and grab some frozen dinners, milk, and cereal. 

"Easy as always," I whisper to myself. 

In the corner of my eye I see some girl slingshot pass me. 

"What the hell was that," I exclaimed. I look down and my food isn't there.

 "Hey come back here," I yelled while teleporting through the crowd. After a minute or two she finally stops and turns the corner. 

"Finally she stopped," I said out of breath. Its a dead end, so she has nowhere to go. 

"Your're trapped now give me back my food," I said. She turns around and takes her hood off. 

"Natalie?" 

I take her back to the apartment to share some of the food I have. You may be wondering who Natalie is. She is the daughter of Slingshot. Heroes had private lives too. During the Dark War 10 years ago her father died. I guess she's been on the run since then. 

"What're you doing in New Philly," I asked. 

"I came to find you," she replied. 

"Why would you want me and how did you know I was here," I asked again. 

"Don't worry about that just come with me," she yelled.

"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what's going on,"I yelled back. There was a knock on the door.

"I was too late," she whispered.
