Chapter 1 - The Memory

A boy sat on the porch of a wooden cabin in the middle of a forest. As the sun slowly set, its rays met with his skin making him glow. He looked up and frowned

.

" Dinner's ready", a woman called from inside.

" Coming", the boy replied.

He quickly dropped the book and rushed inside. A radiant young woman sat behind a round table with an assortment of food. The boy's eyes widened with shock. Mouth open he took his seat and began devouring the food.

" Take your time dear, the food's not going anywhere", the woman giggled.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

The place went silent. The woman assured the boy she would be back soon and walked out. The sun had fully set and darkness engulfed their surroundings.

The boy had finished eating and lay lazily on the chair. He wondered why the woman hadn't returned. He decided to check it out himself. As he got closer, he could hear heavy breathing and whispers.

Suddenly, the door flung open. There stood the woman, bleeding exccessively, blade through her chest.

Behind her a shadowy figure. He stumbled back holding his mouth. Tears flowed from his eyes. His heartraced and his mind blank. Suddenly he passed out.
