Ch1.) The True beginning

I arrived in town shortly after 8 am. Opening the door to my favorite cafe I was immediately greeted by two things the wonderful smell of coffee and the sweet voice of my one and only friend, Suzie "Oh, look what we have here seems a kitten has wandered in," she said with a bright smile while leaning her elbows on the counter I laughed " Good morning Suzie, its been a while how have you been?" she gave me a raised eyebrow and a smile " I've been as well as I can be... You want the usual." I smiled and nodded then hopped up on the barstool. While Suzy was making my drink I stared down at the counter in silence with a slight smile hearing Suzie whistle a sweet tune, Suzie has always been there for me whenever I needed something she is the one person I feel will always be my best and only friend, even though she like 20 years older than me snapping out of my trance I started looking around it was only then that I noticed how empty the place was and I started to worry... I guess Suzie noticed because as she sat my cup in front of me she said "I'm fine, don't worry we get a lot of customers, you just happened to get here before the crowds start rushing in," I gave a slight sigh in relief then smiled down at my mug I looked back up at her she smiled brightly then grabbed a rag and started to wipe down the counter, I sighed and looked back down at my mug, a smile still in place, I decided to stop worrying "{Suzie would tell me if things weren't ok I should just drink my coffee}" and so I did.. or well I tried to.. but right as I was about to take a drink a loud boom rocketed the cafe screaming could be heard from outside I turned around to look out the window. I gasped in shock and fear at what I saw the building across the street had been blown into pieces, blood and bodies littered the street, people screamed and looked on in horror... I felt the urge to vomit rising.. but I kept it down... I stood up and ran outside into the crowd, Ignoring Suzie's calls, police sirens could be heard in the distance... I looked closer at the rubble looking for some sort of explanation as to how this happened "{What could have caused this}" I wondered in fear and confusion... that's when I saw it... I small blue glow coming from the center of the crumbled building... I don't know what happened but in an instant, it was only me and the light my focus never straying from the object in front of me but as I got closer I became vaguely aware of the yells and screams trying to get my attention to tell me to stop or back away, Suzie's voice somewhere in the mix, but all I could see was this light that was becoming clearer by the second.. I could finally see it whatever it was... this stone no bigger than a small baseball stationed in the center of the destruction and chaos... one thought was on my mind I had one goal I wanted- no I needed that stone I needed to touch it to see it to feel it... to be it.. but as soon my hand came in contact with the stone everything became silent as my vision turned white.......
