Dark's Chosen

Chapter 1

           A man runs, yelling and screaming for help as the man in the red jacket follows behind him, his hands dripping with the screaming mans blood. The hooded man catches up to his prey, grabbing him by the coat and slamming him to a nearby wall. One of the hooded mans eyes begin to glow a brilliant purple as he tightens his grip on the mans shoulders. The mans fingers begin to dig into the flesh of the victims shoulders.

           The hooded man begins to chuckle as his victim screams in pain. The screaming man pulls a knife from his pocket and jams it into the chest if his attacker, it seems to only make the man angry.

           "Do you remember me, Mr. Samuel?" asks the young man. "Dante?" replies Samuel. "Precisely." Dante jams his hand into Samuels chest, grabbing the mans heart. Dante rips his hand and the heart out of Mr. Samuel's chest, causing the man to fall to the ground with a thud.

           Dante looks at the heart in his hand as it turns from red to black and continues beating. He puts the beating heart back into the mans chest. Samuel immediately begins breathing again, astounded that he's still alive.

            "What the Hell are you?!" he yells at Dante. "That's not how you treat your new master, Sam. Now, if you wish to live, I request you be a little smarter with your words." "Go to Hell you freak!" yells Samuel. "I've been there, it's not as bad as everyone makes it seem, you won't be going though, you'll be part of my army, or I'll claim your soul as forfeit."

           Samuel gets to his feet and throws a punch at Dante, he catches it and crushes every bone in the grown mans hand. The man yelps as his bones crack and snap apart. Dante grabs Samuel's head and jams his thumb into the mans eye, tearing it out of the mans skull and severing it. Sam screams as he is slowly torn and broken to pieces.

           "Do you submit yet Sammyboy?" asks Dante, Samuel nods in his pain. Dante lets go of Samuel and passes his eye back to him, "You can have that back, I have no use for it. Also, you can get it put back in." Dante snaps his fingers and Samuel disappears in a shroud of mist.

           "Damnit, daytime is coming near, I should get home, my parents will kill me if I'm not back by sunrise." Dante made his slow walk home, knowing that he would be in trouble if he was found walking in early in the morning.

           As he enters his house, he sees his mother with the family cat on the couch, not a pleasant sight to see. Dante's mother looks at him with anger in her eyes. "Where on Earth were you all night?!" she yells. "I was at Kai's house, and when did you actually start caring about me? Why don't you go be concerned over Abby like you always are?!" At this moment, Dantes sister came down from her room. "What is it this time that you two are fighting about?" she asks. "Nothing, just the usual things we fight over," replies Dante.

          Dante's mother walks over and slaps him. "Don't you ever speak to me like that again." The mother of the two children stands as Dante stomps off down the stairs nearby and slams his door behind him. Soon after, he hears a light knock on his door, "Dante, can I come in?" asks his sister. The door swings open with a snap of Dante's fingers. "Yes, you can come in." The little girl walks in and shuts the door behind her.

          Abby walks over and sits on Dante's bed. "Are you okay? That looked like it hurt." she says. Dante nods, "I'm fine, don't worry, I can take it." Abby slides up onto Dante's lap and rubs his face where their mother had hit him. Dante picks his younger sister up and sets her next to him, "No sitting on my lap, I've told you this once," "I just wanted to see if you were okay, I'll talk to you later." Dante nods as Abby exits the room.

           Dante grabs his laptop and messages his friend Grace, she's the only one who knows about his "powers". As his eyes begin to change as his blood surges through his veins. "Grace, it's me, I had another outburst earlier."  Grace looks at Dante and facepalms, "Your heart is up again, you need to calm it down, don't get so excited to see me. Now, go calm down, I want to sleep, you should too, you look drained."

          Dante pouts and does as she says, she is ,after all, the one who he vowed he'd keep safe once she saw that he had powers. Of course, his sister knew, but not to the extent Grace did. Dante called his sister down to talk before he goes to sleep.

           "Abby, you look tired, you should sleep, come here." Abby walks over to her brother and sits on the corner of the bed. Dante kisses her cheek and lays her down, she falls asleep almost instantly.
