I know its friday and I should post a lesson and I will later tonight but for right now I want to share a book I'm writing, I will be posting regular updates to it as I get a chapter completed. Please Note All Characters and Creatures I have created are (c) to me So enjoy ^^
Prelude
Castor strode quickly through the cold park, the light fading quickly from the pinkish sky. He was in a hurry to go see his roommate Jack, there was a lot he wanted to tell him, a lot he’d hidden for a long time, but after what happened the previous night, Castor had decided it was time to tell not only Jack but also his girlfriend whom he was hoping to purpose to after his trip to South America. He’d been hired by a small time archeological company as an assistant, he mostly just hauled equipment and packed artifacts while the archeologists actually excavated and discovered new artifacts. Castor was grateful and in his opinion lucky to have the ADB pay for his education after the fiasco last year that ended up postponing the first expedition that was now rescheduled for this coming spring.
Castor glanced at his watch, it was almost 6:30pm, he had to hurry if he was going to beat Jack. Jack had just bought a scooter so he could get around faster but still not pay for insurance or very much for gas. He glanced up at his apartment building squinting, trying to see if his apartment lights where on or not. He knew it was pointless; him and Jack lived on the twelfth floor.
Castor strode into the building, fending off Borge by tossing him the last half of his sandwich from lunch earlier that day.
“Thanks Castor, you have no idea….”
Castor did know, and it was why he helped Borge like he did. He pondered taking the elevator like he normally did but something didn’t quite feel right and he was driven to take the stairs. He cocked his head to the side, listening to the vibrations of the building.
“Why does the building want me to take the stairs?” He pondered to himself as he started up the stairs of the building.
About five minuets later he came out of the stairwell on his floor and pulled his keys out sighing tiredly, cursing himself for listening to the vibrations of the building. As he turned the key the lock of his door there was a roaring sound that grew in intensity. Castor looked behind him and there was faltering bright light coming from the crack between the doors and as the noise grew the building began to shake.
People started coming out of their apartments to see what was going on and Castor was suddenly filled with dread, as the air grew electrified on a level most human beings couldn’t detect as the elevator flew past their level and a few seconds later smashed into the ground with such force that most people weren’t still standing. To every one else, this was just a freak elevator accident, but for Castor and people like him, it was a Mishki doing something it wasn’t supposed to be.
Chapter 1
Castor walked down the hall, his mp3 player playing just loud enough to drown out the noise around him. He didn’t like the ruthless drone of his fellows, especially in the morning when he hadn’t slept well. Castor sank into his usual spot in the morning, in front of his science classroom to wait for his friends to show up. He was always first because instead of riding the bus like every one else, Castor walked. He did have to get up a little earlier than his fellow students, but he got there first and in general had much more free time.
As the din of his fellow students increased, Castor was forced to turn his mp3 player up to help keep out the noise, but as he went to put it away a hand reached out from behind him and took his ear buds out and hugged him.
“You really shouldn’t have your music all the time, you’ll miss the things going on in the world around you.”
Castor leaned his head back to bop the head of his girlfriend Orla, “but around here its all the same boring stuff, and our generation is to selfish for my taste.”
Orla snickered at him, “Our generation huh, that includes you dumass.”
Castor cracked a grin, “Your point?”
Orla rolled her eyes at him then changed the subject, “So where’s Jack? He always beats me here in the mornings…”
Castor glanced at his watch, he hadn’t realized how much time had passed since he’d arrived, “I dunno…” Castor dug his cell out of his bag and sent a text to Jack asking him where he was.
Orla sighed and leaned against Castors back, her arms still wrapped around his stocky middle, “I hope he’s ok, I was worried for him when he said he was going to try to come out to his parents…”
Castor shook his head, now resting his hands on hers, “Both me and my mother said we’d take him in if things didn’t go over well with his folks. He’d would have called me or came over if something went wrong.”
Orla bobbed her head in agreement as the bell rang. “I’ll send you a text if I hear from him ok? I’ll see you at lunch.” said Castor as they parted with a hug.
First, second and third periods went with out hearing from Jack. This worried Castor as Jack always kept close tabs on his cell, even when he was ill. Castor hurried to his usual table to find Orla waiting for him.
“Have you heard from him?”
Castor sighed sadly, “No, I’m going over to his house after school today. This is not like him, like at all.”
Orla just nodded and rested her head on Castors shoulder. Castor ate quickly, then sent Jack another text. As he had a sudden strange feeling, and an odd scent hit his nostrils only for a second, it smelled like the incense that his church often burned but it was different. Orla spotted the look on Castors face and poked his cheek.
“What’s the matter?”
Castor shifted in his seat, the feeling and smell had gone just as fast as it had came, “I dunno, I just got an odd feeling…”
Orla stared at him, confused.
Castor shook his head, “I can’t explain it, come on lets go head toward art, the bell is going to ring soon.”
She nodded and they headed out of the caffiteria and down the hall. Castor knew what the feeling was, but he didn’t know why he’d gotten it. The feeling said ‘Change’.
