1 The Beginning
Jonathan was lying on the ground motionless. He noticed that his vision was blurry when he looked up at the clear blue sky. 'It's a nice day' he thought to himself. After about a minute his vision started clearing up. This made him realise that it wasn't just his vision that was off. All of his senses were messed up. His ears were ringing. He couldn't smell anything. He couldn't even feel the ground he was lying on. As his hearing started to come back he could hear a faint yell. The yell was getting louder.
"Jonathan!" someone yelled.
'That's my name' Jonathan thought. Jonathan could feel the ground again. Before Jonathan could even think about getting up a dark figure appeared looming over him. It's presence was ominous. It was as if Jonathan was staring death in the face. The figure unsheathed a long black sword. 'He's going to kill me isn't he?' Jonathan thought. At this point he was to scared to even lift a finger. He was paralysed in fear. The dark figure lifted it's sword into the air as if it was about to attack. 'Please, I'm too young to die' Jonathan thought. The dark figure lunged at him with the sword. Jonathan didn't even know where he was and yet he was about to be killed.
"AAAHHHHH!" Jonathan yelled as he sat upright. Jonathan then looked around him. He was in his room. "I guess it was just a dream." He said.
As Jonathan walked to school he pondered about the dream he had. 'That dream was way too real' he thought to himself. Jonathan kept walking while lost in thought.
"What are you so fixed on Jonathan?" Maria asked,
"Oh hey Maria." Jonathan replied,
"You didn't answer my question" she said,
"It's nothing." he responded.
As they kept walking Jonathan saw a woman taking photos of him from a car parked on the side of the road. He thought nothing of it and thought to himself 'She's probably just a photographer'. Jonathan started getting suspicious when he looked back at the car and it was gone. 'What? But
It was there just a second ago!' He thought.
"Are you ok? You seem a bit off today Jonathan." She said,
"I'm fine I'm just tired." He replied.
As Jonathan walked out of his last class before lunch he spotted the woman from earlier disguised as a janitor. 'Her again?! This is getting creepy' he thought. Jonathan blinked and she was gone. 'She disappeared again!'. Jonathan was getting anxious but he decided to try and ignore it. He thought to himself 'I'm probably just seeing things."
Jonathan saw a group of people with masks as he was walking home. 'That creepy woman and now this?' He thought. He kept on walking until one of them stopped him.
"Who do you think you are to just walk by us like that? Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?" The masked man asked,
"I'm very sorry. Should lay out a red carpet for you next time?" Jonathan replied.
"Hold on. Isn't that him? Isn't he The Successor?" one of the men said,
"It actually is." another man replied while stepping back.
"We need to get out of here immediately." One of them said. The group of men ran away with haste. "What was that all about?" Jonathan said out loud.
"You should come with me kid." The woman said from behind him. Jonathan turned around.
"It's you. You're the one who's been stalking me." He replied.
"You're coming with me whether you like it or not." The woman said as she picks Jonathan up.
"Hey wait! Put me down!" Jonathan exclaimed. The woman said nothing and threw him into the back of her car.
"Let me out of your car..." Jonathan said as he fell asleep.
The woman drove to an apartment complex and carried Jonathan inside. She walked into an apartment and placed Jonathan on to a bed. She sat down and waited for him to wake up...
Sorry about this chapter being quite short but this is my first time publishing a story that I make. If this chapter is received well then I will definitely be making more. If I do make more it might take a while seeing as I'm not very experienced in writing. If you have any criticism then I'd love to hear it. I can't improve unless I know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for reading.
