Chapter 1: First Glimpse

If I had to start the story somewhere, I believe this is a good place than any to start.

I can barely remember what happened, I was walking home with mum and dad, we just came back from dinner, but then the power went out, and I look over seeing a man holding something in his hand.

It looks like a sphere of some sorts, but then it suddenly started to power on, I didn't know what was happening, but mum took my hand and we make a run for it but the blast went off and engulf everything in its wake, dad shielded me and mum and everything went white.

Cole could hear sounds around him, they were the sounds of sirens and everything was blowing up. He shot open his eyes and looks around the area and saw that he was in a creator. His whole body was racked with pain as he slowly pushes himself up, "What the hell happened?" he mumbles and looks around, "Oh God." he mumbles then stood up.

Then a helicopter shines a light on him, "Hey look up if you can hear me." the cop ask him, Cole shielded his eyes and looks up at the helicopter, "If you can walk, get out of there, head for the bridge." he orders and the chopper took off and Cole lowers his arm. He then heard a moan, looks down and saw a girl that looks to be 15 years old, he watches and saw that she started to move. "Come on, Cole, move, move," he tells himself and started down the way, he passes as a pipe that blew and kneels down next to the girl. He slowly gathers her into his arm.

"Hey, you alright?" he asks, gently shaking her. She groans and flutters her eyes open and looks around, "Mum, dad... where are they?" she mumbles, Cole then pulls her onto his back and stood up, "Just hang on, OK?" he tells her, she gave a weak nod and laid her head against his shoulder and continued along the pathway and makes to the bus and then his phone goes off. "Cole, Cole, man, you there? Come on, man pick up!" Zeke said through the line, Cole then jumps on top of the bus and onto the pavement. "Zeke, what's going on, I think there was an explosion," Cole informs him. "No shit there was an explosion, TV said terrorist are blowing stuff up all over the city. Meet me at the Free long bridge. We'll get Trish and find someplace to bunker down." Zeke tells him. "I'll see you there," Cole informs him.

Cole walks into the destroy car lot, and suddenly electricity shot out and hits them both, they both let out painful grunts and suddenly stops. They both pant, "What the hell – should be dead." Cole mumbles and the girl raises her head, "Mister Cole, please put me down." she asks, he looks at her and does so. She gets off his back and stood on her own. She moves her legs and arms as they both were in perfect condition. Cole stood up and looks at her, "The hell..." he mumbles and she looks up at him, "You alright, kid?" he asks her, she looks at him and nods.

"Good enough to walk on your own?" he asks again and she nods at him. "Alright, let's go," he tells her and they both take off. They both turn the corner and the ceiling gave out and a car from the second floor drops. "Damn." Cole mumbles and the walk pass it, they head for the pavement bridge road, but a car drops down, rolls forward and blew up, destroying the bridge along with it. They stumble back and then the young girl looks over at the pipe that was broken in the middle, she ran over to it and steps up, "Kid, what are you doing?" he questions, limping over to her as she ran along the pipe and then jumps and lands on the next pipe and makes a makes a perfect landing.

She turns to him and waves her arms, "It's alright, it's safe to cross." she tells him and then lowers her arms and makes her way to the next half of the of the parking lot, Cole follows her and he limps up to her, "Here take my hand." he tells her, she looks at him and she places her hand in his. And they ran along avoiding the explosion, but as they pass another outlet and the electricity shot at them, coursing through their bodies, the power was so much, the two let it all back out and the electricity shot to the lamp post and car, triggering the alarm.
