Chapter 3 I woke up the next morning in a heap on the floor, "hello nico," said a voice next to me "how did you sleep?" I noticed the voice was that of my friend Mark. "Not very well at all." I replied "I can't even contemplate what you are going through at the moment," he said "but I know it's hard." Mark had always understood me he could tell my moods and my thoughts it was as if he was inside my head, which had always scared me a little. "When did you get here?" I asked "I'm not to sure actually, but when I got here you were out cold." I wondered if he knew where sister was, I mean Mark knew everything about the city of Manhattan, and most of it's inhabitants, if he didn't know who would? "Mark do you know where my sister is? I was going to follow there car but I was knocked out." He replied "I may have a vague idea, but, you must heal before we leave." to my knowledge I wasn't to badly injured I tried to get up but I fell in pain "don't move I've just bandaged the wound, it looks like you were stabbed in the leg,I'm surprised you weren't killed by the bullets I found in the wall, but I suppose you've never been badly hurt by machinery before that's maybe why you weren't shot." He was right a couple of years ago there was a large gang war in Manhattan and I was caught in a crossfire with my sister and I had tried to shield her with my body the bullets had curved around us, after that I was known as a hero but I knew I had nothing to do with it, I could feel it in my bones it had come from another power an older unexplainable power. Chapter 4 "What shall we do with the girl?" squealed a voice from the corner. "Do as you please Polyphemus but I need this girl alive, she has a strong resolve but she will bait her brother into our trap," Said the man, well not a man exactly, a beast, yes that's a good description a beast, a large muscular beast, big enough to make pro wrestlers quake in their boots. Even in this dream I was sure this beast conveyed the same power as my father had the day he vanished into flames. But this power seemed to have been magnified 10 times and I can tell u now, my dad didn't feel weak at all. "Thank you master, I shall take her down to the pit." chattered Polyphemus excitedly. I heard a scream down the corridor I was sure it was that of my sister I wanted to help but this was only a dream, it couldn't be real then I turned my view toward the man beast thing, but I noticed he was staring directly at me like he could see me. His eyes bored a hole into the depths of my consciousness! I felt my body shaking then I woke, Mark holding onto me shaking me violently screaming at the top of his lungs "Wake up Nico, wake up!" "I'm awake, I'm awake, calm down Mark what's up?" then he told me how I'd been shouting about the beast in my sleep. And how he had been trying to wake me for the past hour! "Nico we need to leave, now, like right now, we'll talk more on the way."and with that we gathered our things and left the remains of my house.
Alright, I finally got all the blood off the floor. I bet someone's gonna kill someone in here now... Just to make me mad.
