What did he mean by company? Thomas' thoughts ran wild throughout his mind. Any idea and thought that formed in his brain was quickly interrupted by the lights flickering. Thomas silently cried trying to think of a way out of this nightmare, to get rid of this. His phone was broken and not one neighbor had called anyone or checked on him, slightly offended and terrified, Thomas swings open his kitchen door and makes a run for his stairs.

He's halfway up and checks behind him to make sure no one was chasing him, once he's turned his back he is immediately bumped into a tall but soft figure. This causes Thomas to tumble down the stairs, he grips his head and groans until his vision gets fuzzy and he's knocked unconscious.

"Gee manetti!"
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Thomas opens his eyes and "wakes up" with a large gasp for air, he feels himself walking on what appears to be dark grey clouds, his surroundings are all black, so black he couldn't see his own hands, he continues to walk-or attempt to- on the puffy ground, eyes twisting in every direction.

After walking for two minutes he sees a strange yellow light, assuming it's his time for death Thomas runs and trips towards it. Once he's reached the glow he's left in shock, it was extremely bright but he still couldn't see a thing around him. In pure curiosity he reaches out to touch it, immediately the light goes out and a low chuckle emerged from the dark abyss that surrounded him.

The unconscious man's eyes grew wide and begins to run, where to? He didn't know, just that he needed to get away. The deep chuckle followed him throughout his attempts to escape, it bounced off whatever walls there were and echoed against his eardrums leaving him confused and terrified.

He runs until he can't any longer, until his chest aches, his heart is pounding out of his rib cage, and his lungs are about to explode.

The chuckles grow louder-they sound identical to a Disney movie villain- and Thomas feels as if they are right on his tail. Now he makes a mistake that only stupid horror movie characters do
He stopped running and turned around.

A face of a man with one glowing yellow eye-almost reptile like-and yellow glove covered hands reach out to Thomas, he is unable to move and feels almost paralyzed. If it wasn't the snake fangs that gave Thomas shivers, it was the green scales traveling down half of his face, decorated with a pink scar from the corner of his mouth to the top of his chiseled cheek bone.

Thomas squeaks and tries to speak though his words only come out as choking sounds, Mysterious figure grins and grips Thomas' chin squishing his cheeks together uncomfortably. He leans forwards until his lips briefly touch the other's ear, he whispers in a casual yet threatening manner

"Don't trust them Thomas"
"I-I-I"
"Wake up!"
"Wake up!"

  "WHY WONT HE WAKE UP!"
Thomas squints his eyes slowly gaining consciousness, a blurry figure kneels above him shaking his limp body.
"You're being to harsh!" Yells Prince, the fellow tugging Thomas like a rag doll glares at him
"Oh would you prefer I kiss him like a stupid ass Disney Prince!?"
"Well he is a dashing fellow you wise ass"
"Upstage!"
"Guys stop it! He's waking up!"

If it weren't for the aching pain and growing knot forming on Thomas' forehead, he would be screaming. From 2-5 minutes he finally is fully awake and able to comprehend who was talking, as well as trying to understand that dream of his and who this mysterious Snake man was. In front of him stood 3 "people", the Prince from before and two others.

"Wh-What happened?" He reaches to rub his head but is stopped by the previous person who aggressively shook him.
"Y-You hit your head bumping into one of us" he stutters out, by how close they are Thomas can get a clear view of what this man looks like.

His black hair stiffly falls over his face, it looks as if he had it neatly styled with hair spray but purposely ruffled it, his eyes are a big brown that shine with his ghost white skin, under them were deep black bags, almost like a raccoon. The man's attire was more simple than the Prince's, it was only a long sleeve black turtle neck, and black pants covered in grey patches where he assumed holes were. What stood out though was the dark blueish purple and red ring around the other's throat.

Once he caught his breath he managed to put a serious look on his face that slightly worried the others
"Who the hell are you, and what are you doing in my house?" He yells and shoves the other off of him before standing up too quickly and immediately stumbling back down, he grips the stair  railing.

The three boys stare at one another before one steps up, aviator glasses rest on his nose framing his pale blue eyes, he wears a blue polo, khakis, old sneakers, and a grey cardigan covers his shoulders. Overall he resembled a stereotypical white suburban dad, if it weren't for the green tent on his freckled skin.
"It's ok son-"
"I'm not your son"
"It's ok kiddo, we'll um..introduce ourselves. I'm Patton, " he points to himself with fake cheerfulness. He gestures to the Prince
"That's Roman, but we call him Princey," lastly he gestures to the dark one
"And that's-" he gets cut off again, "Don't tell him my name" Patton frowns then huffs.

He asked gently "Kiddo, how will he know what to call you if you don't tell him your name?"
"Roman calls me millions of things, I'm sure he can figure out something, call me A or some shit!" he shrugs, Patton glares at his swearing. From the spot on the stairs, Thomas speaks up again
"How about I call the cops for all three of you breaking and entering, smashing my phone, and causing a freaking tornado in my apartment!" His face is red by the end and he's shaking again.

The three look at each other worriedly, Roman steps forward
"Listen Thomas, there are things in this world, people, who can cause negative things to happen in your life. That's about to happen which is why we are here, to protect you," he takes a breath "a great evil is after you Thomas to prevent you from getting any better at your life and stopping all improvement and happiness to come your way. You wished for greater things in your life and we four are here to do that, but there is also someone out there who is doing everything he can to take that away from you. He'll toy with your trust" Roman steps back so Thomas can digest.

His mind instantly thinks back to his dream of the snake man. "The guy with the yellow eye.." he whispers, slight panic raises in A's voice
"What did you just say?", Thomas looks up at him without an answer then turns to Roman
"Who's the fourth person?"

Sup
I finally updated! If there are any typos, grammar errors, or overall you are willing to give constructive criticism I greatly appreciate that.

I don't mean to offend any writers with my stories because of the fact I am a mediocre newbie who does not have plans for writing stories(as of now, as I favor art more), I had the ideas for my books and wanted to write them the best I could. Art will be made by me soon.

I do not have an actual schedule for writing as high school takes up some of my time. While you wait for this story to update check out my other story 'Sugar', it's one sided Moxiety as well as one sided other ships that will be later revealed, and is extremely gory and dark.

Until the next chapter, I'm always on Wattpad to talk.
