Chapter 1
Lyle lays on the ground, arms splayed out. Luckily no one notices him. He's breathing heavy from the trip. It takes him a minute to get all his bearings.
He stands up slowly. The signs around him don't look familiar. They definitely weren't English. Judging from the weather it looked like he was somewhere in Europe. The only things he was sure we're his name and today's date. Lyle Ashwood and March 2nd 2397. Today is the day he meet princess Aurora.
Before he can do anything, he has to get some clothes. The clothes he wears now makes him appear alien. Which isn't entirely incorrect.
A man walks passed into a near by ally. Lyle follows not far behind. The man doesn't have a chance before Lyle is on him. Lyle's fangs come out. He uses his fangs to rip his throat out. The clothes the man wore now become Lyle's possessions. The dead body shouldn't cause to much trouble. The man was due to die within the hour because of a gang shooting.
He knows this because he saw it happen before. Lyle comes from a world not so different from the one today, except for the monsters. He comes from the future. Humans are almost all evolved. Theses mutations are like werewolves, vampires, etc. Lyle gets changes his thought to the task at hand.
When he walks out of the ally he notices a shabby apartment complex across the street. Since the scientist failed to supply money he will have to use his powers that he received from the scientist.
Lyle is actually a genetically mutated monster. He was created from DNA of the beast that now roam they're earth. Scientist created him to save the world. He must go back billions of years ago to kill their common ancestor. Princess Aurora.
He enters the building a girl is working the front desk. He sees a flirty smile on girl's face. He tries not to look her the eyes. It makes him feel less guilty.
" Can I have a room? " She seems eager to please.
" That will be 27 coscas. "
He looks in the eye now. Her face falls a bit when he says,
" You will give me a room free because you're in debt to me. "
Her forehead creases. Then she nods her head.
" Oh yes. I remember now. Right this way Mr. Ashwood. "
She leads him to a room on the top floor.
" Can I get you anything else? We have some really nice..."
He slams the door in her face. Out of all his traits he has, the mermaid traits a are the most deceitful. He sighs. Using his powers always make him feel empty.
The thing that is most troubling for him to accept is what the future holds for him. After he saves the world what will he live for. The only real love he has ever felt was for his friend Blake but, after this is over Blake will have to go back to his little sister. The girl lost her mother at 6. Although she was the product of a polygamous marriage she has always been mistreated. Thinking about the girl makes his head hurt.
He goes to lay down. Suddenly he's in a dream. Except it's not a dream, it's a memory.
Lyle sits on the floor with his best friend Blake.
" Do it again. "
Lyle obeys. With his index finger he levitates the ball. Blake giggles excitedly.
" Lyle, pick up the chair. "
Lyle does so. Slower this time because it takes more strength out of him.
