It didn't seem as though I slept through the day, so I frantically checked my alarm clock that was underneath my clothes and found that it was 7:30 am. Something was different; you could feel it in the air, taste it and sense what was unseen. Something was happening, something big that many would be a part of. I got up and watched the sunset by my window, except the sun didn't set. It simply stood there painting the sky in oranges, yellows, pinks and blood reds. It all sent a shiver through my spine as I felt the power that was emanating from the very wildlife itself. Everything seemed heightened and flowing with power. All except most humans, a few had powers but not many. Evolution had caused most of us to lose our natural defenses. I got up from the window and dressed in back pants and a black spandex muscle shirt. I grabbed my keys and peeled out of my house in my black corvette. I looked into my rear view mirror and saw my own highlighted blonde hair and blue eyes staring back at me. It almost caused me to hit a car in the process because something about that image staring back at me, put me into a trance like I was seeing myself for the first time. I immediately put the car into stop and just sat there letting the golden rays of the set sun dance across my face, felt the ocean air play with my hair, as I basked in the power I felt around me. Everyone had been staring in wonder at the spectacle before us but I suddenly knew why it had happened. It was the balance between dark and evil, the darkness not letting the sunrise but the good not letting the shadows touch the holy earth. I felt something in me at that moment, something click like a faucet that's been turned on, except this was stronger. I use to feel alone but suddenly I felt capable like I could do so much. I started my car and started to drive, I knew where I was going, and I was headed to Latvia's house. She had been my best friend for years now; she was graced with beauty unlike any other. Her blonde hair like a halo with her jade green eyes sparkling like summers grass. She always had a smile on her face and somehow called the attention of everyone in the room, she had power in her soul you could feel it like it had been woven into her very being. We had both been trained by a different sensei every year of our lives since we were 4 and we grew a bond of trust. We learned to work together like no other, fighting side by side and exploring each other's limits. We were unstoppable together when we were apart we felt lonely but when we were together confidence shone through, and to be honest it scared most people. I pulled into her driveway and entered with out knocking. I found her in her room, she was sitting on her bed humming a hymn as old as time itself, you could feel it. It reverberated through your vary bones and shook you to the core, I sat down and began to hum the tune myself as we both went into perfect harmony, weaving in and out of the pattern of time itself, and most of all there was power something new and exciting like a new toy to play with, we both began to slip into a trance as we let the music, time, and magic take control becoming a vessel. A vessel of something that has been locked away for centuries. It felt good. It kept building and becoming more intricate, taking control of our bodies and flowing through us like a river would flow through the earth. It was a natural force that you could feel. But it wasn't like it was giving us power it was uncloaking what was already there, you could feel the gates opening and power rushing through your veins. The pressure rose and rose until it was flooding the whole city with fear and jealousy, of what we had. We kept humming and humming as the walls crumbled around us and the plants shriveled and scrambled away from the pool of light that began to trickle from our bodies. Everything was pushed aside until we were in a huge circle of light. The humming rose until the power that was summoned from the gods themselves was unleashed into our souls and a wave of light flew from us stretching into the horizon as we both fell back panting and sweating heavily, gasping for air. "Kyle?" she gasped "do you feel it? It's as if this strength we've been given is alive." "I feel it" I panted "and that's because I think it is." _____________________________________________________________________________ End of chapter one, thanks for reading this far must mean its not the worst story! :) Remember feedback is apreciated thanks for reading! sryin_blue22@hotmail.com -~*~*~SaM~*~*~-
