Chapter 1: The beginning.

Our story begins with a young man at age 16. he is your regular kind of guy who is always in his mind thinking about things were people usually don't think about: fighting, Magic and other mythical beings. His name is Joey.

Joey awakens from his sleep and he looks at the calendar. " hmpf.. school starts again today"

it was indeed the first school day but as usual Joey didn't want to go. But as normal he did go to school. He always thought: " something cool might happen today! " but day after day, year after year nothing interesting happened. And so Joey stumbles to the bathroom to take a quick shower and then have some breakfast. The warm beams of hot water felt good at an early morning because Joey always wakes up really early, before the whole city was even awake. As he dries himself and puts his trousers and shirt on. He always wears the same clothing, since his family wasn't that wealthy, they didn't have that much money to buy more clothes. As he walks down the stairs he finds no one in the living room, as usual. He takes a slice of bread and quickly eats it as he is getting ready to go outside for some jogging.

" I love the morning cold, I can toughen up for if something dangerous could happen ". but for 16 years, nothing has happened to Joey or to his environment. He opens the door an secures it locks before her starts running. After an hour or so Joey is done running and is heading back home. Its 7:00AM now as he puts the key in the lock to open his door. As he walks in the living room he finds his parents sitting there as usual.
" morning mum, dad ". his parents are pretty moody in the morning so they don't really reply to him. As an hour passes by Joey is getting ready to go to school.
" I really hope something is happening today ". That is what he said to himself every day before he went to school, but nothing really ever happened. "I'm going to school dad, mum!" They didn't reply to him and he gets his bike and heads for school. On the way to school he isn't as alert as usual. He is always imagining about the things that could happen. So he usually doesn't ride to school with any friends.. he isn't there anyway.

As he is almost in front of the school gates where his friends are, a car appears and hits Joey's bike with immense force! A lot of people saw what happened and rush to Joey's aid. But without a scratch Joey rises from the rock hard ground
" I'm fine? But how.." he is slightly surprised that something dangerous really happened today, but he is even more surprised by the fact he his totally okay. Suddenly, Dennis, one of Joey's friends, came runningto him
" Dude, are you okay? That car totally hit you! You should be dead!" Joey looks a his bike and is quite surprised what he sees. His bike is totally messed up and cannot be repaired.
"who hit me? It didn't seem like an accident.." Joey said surprised. Dennis was a bit shaking because he saw everything
" That doesn't mind right now! you're okay and school is starting.. let's just go!" the two of them leave the school gates and enter the school building.

As they enter their first class everyone is still talking about the accident that happened to Joey. "did you hear? He got hit so hard he should be dead!" someone said. This Someone was Rob, who recently had his own car accident and he broke his back. But that happened a long time ago and now he's fine. Joey look around and is getting a bit annoyed by all the talking about him.
"Will you guys stop it! If you wanted me dead than just say it!" Joey said. The class suddenly becomes quiet and the teacher walks in. Miss.Gerzon his homeroom Teacher also heard about the news and requested Joey to stay after class and talk about it. He left a big sigh and accepted the request. Throughout the day nothing interesting happened as always and he left to go see his homeroom Teacher.
" Ah Joey, come right in and lets talk" He walked into her office and sits down on the chair she appointed him too. " You had quite an accident there didn't you? It was quite amazing you don't even have a scratch" Joey was getting annoyed again of the fact she too is talking the same way as the class
"I was lucky, but I don't think it was an accident". He said.
"what do you mean? Who would do such a thing?". She asked surprisingly
" I don't know ma'am but by the looks of my bike, is sure wasn't an accident that's for sure". Both of them were silent for a moment.
"You should go home now Joey, you're parents might be worried about you". As he left the teachers office and starts walking home since his bike was totally messed up. While he was walking home he was thinking about all sorts of things: Why did that car hit him? Why did the driver chose him? And especially, why was he still alive? Although he was irritated by his classmates asking the same thing over and over again. He too was wondering about it, why was he still alive? As he was near to his house new questions came up... but none were answered. As he walks into his own street he sees a
crowd gathered in front of his own house.

"What the.. What happened here?!" He started running to his house, which was completely destroyed, but there were no bodies. He wrestled through the crowd to take a better look
"Out of the way! This is my house! Get moving!" He was shocked by the sight of his own house so much crumbled away from the earth.
"what in the name of God happened here?" The crowd became silent and he said those words, and the police came up to him. "young man, is this your    house you said? Then follow me" he followed the police man as he guided Joey to his small van. "What's your name?" the Policeman asked.
"Its Joey, but get to the point, what happened here?" the policeman was quiet for a little while and then said:
"Honestly.. we have no Idea, there are no bodies in the house or in near it.. it seems like your family completely disappeared" The policeman looked down a he brought the bad news.
"how could that be possible... strange things have been happening today" Joey said. The policeman looked a bit confused
"What do you mean Joey? Has there been something else today? Something that could help us?". Joey was thinking whether he should tell him about the Car accident or not..
"I euhm.. well.. there was a car accident today.. the car crashed into me.. but it didn't seem like an accident, I'd say he as aiming to hit me." the Policeman looked confused and then grabbed for his bag.
"Maybe it was an assassination..or was meant to be.. here.. this has your name on it, we didn't open it yet though" Joey reached for a blue letter with only his name on it.
"What is this Sir? Haven't you opened it yet?" Joey asked.
"no.. we didn't want to open it before this Joey, you, came here or not. You open it, we'll look together, maybe it contains a clue". Joey nodded and he opened the letter.
"well? What is it?" the policeman asked. Joey looked at the letter and he became silent. After a while he said:
"These.. are.. some strange symbols.. I don't even think they exist. Here have a look." Joey handed the letter to the policeman with the thoughts he might know the symbols. "I never seen these symbols before.. maybe its fake..or a prank" They both were silent for a little while until Joey stood up.
"I won't find out anything if I keep sitting here... I should move to somewhere else" The policeman looked disturbed, maybe a bit mad. "how could you be so blunt? you're whole family just disappeared and you're house is completely destroyed!" the policeman turned red, but Joey had a quick reply to that.
"If this was an assassination to kill my family.. I should move fast, before they find out I am still alive" The policeman looked up and came to his senses.
"Your absolutely right! We must bring you somewhere safe!" suddenly the door to the van opened and a second policeman appeared.
"I heard you're little conversation, but don't you think the "assassins" would most likely expect us to bring him somewhere safe?" the two policeman and Joey were quiet for a little moment.
"you're absolutely right! I should continue with my life until we know more about these so called assassins." both of the policeman agreed and Joey could stay for the time being with Dennis.




The next morning Joey didn't woke up early, the first time in 6 years he actually almost overslept himself.
"wow, you always such a sleepyhead?" Dennis asked.
"no, not at all, normally I'm up at 5'o clock to jog in the morning." they both laughed and started walking to school since Joey's bike was all messed up. They talked about a lot while they were walking, Joey told Dennis everything they found at the house, he took the letter with him to see if one of the teacher would know what the symbols were. As they were nearing the busy road Joey let out a big sigh.
"You know Dennis? I always prayed for something exiting to happen, but no that it has happened my family just suddenly disappeared". Dennis said nothing as he was looking down to the floor.
"Joey.. all things happen with a reason.. except all this.. I don't know anyone who would want to hurt you or your family" Dennis said.
"I know Dennis I know" They look around the crowdie street as the flashlight to turn green for them.
"it's always so busy on this road!" Dennis said. Suddenly the sound of screeching tires strike their minds as a car is heading right towards them!
"Oh no! I think it's the same car as yesterday! Run Dennis!" Dennis ran away safely to the side of the street and the car was reaching towards Joey.
"Wait a minute I don't see a driver in there" Suddenly the car went from a high speed to a extreme fast speed in a fraction of a second! Suddenly Joey's body became weak.. but he made an enormous jump right over the car. He looked behind himself but the car disappeared. In the meanwhile a lot of curious drivers walked out of their car to see what might have happened. Joey stood there for a little while and the hurried to Dennis looking amazed at Joey.
"Dude! How did you do that! And why did he do that?" he asked thrilled.
"I don't know Dennis..I truly don't know.."
