The Orbs

The Orbs - Chapter 1: A Normal Day

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I scream, trying to run as fast as possible but no matter what, it was always right behind me. It didn't make a noise it just followed me. It was a tall man wearing a shadowy cloak. This wasn't the first time this had happened but every time, a giant white hand punches it away from me. The giant hand smashed him into the ground. I heard a voice. It was saying, "Luke, you must...*Beep Beep Beep*" his deep voice boomed, I didn't understand.
"What?!" I yell in confusion, before he then tries to say "I will speak to... *Beep Beep Beep*". Again, he was cut off. That was until the sound got louder and louder. It finally kicked me out of the dream state that I was in, "Damn that was weird, but hey, at least it's Friday." I say to myself as I use all of my strength to roll out of bed.

After fighting myself to decide to shower or not I finally decided that I would. After turning on the water I can hear the pipes melding, almost as if the whole house was going to collapse over my head. I look in the mirror just like every morning; I'm not what most people would classify as good looking but I'm still thankful. I stare into my bright blue eyes, sparkling almost, my slightly tanned skin and my messy brown and blue hair. I had dyed my hair a long time ago and every 6 weeks I go back and dye it again. I hop into the shower, the boiling water running down my skin, everything was aching as I had my sports carnival yesterday but atleast tomorrow's Saturday where I can relax. After what felt to be hours, I finally get out and dry myself.

I slowly put on my formal school uniform and start to walk to the bus stop. I pet my dog Oliver goodbye and walk out of the door. The house was a small two story house that my mum bought for a cheap price because of how old it is. I walk towards the bus stop with my headphones in. Despite the cheap house we still had quite a lot of money resulting in me having an iPhone 5 and my mum with her iPhone 6. I finally arrive and just in time as the bus pulls up. I pay using my Go Card and walk up to my friend Scarlett, "You look tired." she points out as I slowly sit next to her.
"Yea I'm still really sore from the sports carnival." I say as I yawn, she grabs her phone from her pocket and opens Instagram.
"Have you heard?" She asks as she shows me what's on the screen of her phone, "Lucy was taken by cops earlier today to be tested on or something, there's outrage everywhere. Apparently it's because of these weird creatures she sees in her dreams."
