Finished my book. From the very beginning, do you like it ?
I’m ENGLISH. It’s spelt right, trust me.
1.THE BOY.
I was walking home at night, the lamps around me flickering, my breath steaming ahead of me. I turned to walk through the park. It was autumn, so all of the trees were a honey golden colour. Occasionally, a drop of honey would fall off the tree, and make a crunching noise under my feet, which were bare, my toes painted black. I was wearing a pair of black denim jeans, and a neon green t-shirt with a black glittered skull on it, and lots of silver bangles that clanked as I walked along, sounding like wind chimes. One of the lights blew a bulb behind me, and my heart picked up pace. So did my feet.
I was completely overwhelmed by a sense of intense fear, as I saw that the gate was locked, and on the other side, was a lifeless me on the floor. I pulled at the gate noisily. I tried to scream, but my breath was cut short, as I heard a hiss behind me. I slowly turned, the tears trickling down my cheeks, and on to the cold, concrete ground. There was nothing there though; there was nothing there at all. I started to hyperventilate then, and decided that it would be best if I went back out the other side, and went round the long way. I sprinted, my eyes darting back and forth from tree to tree, just in case anything was lurking there.
The other gate was now locked, too, and it seemed to be becoming colder by the minute, my breath becoming clearer, the park’s lights blowing out one by one, the glass around the bulbs shattering. I sat down, holding my knees, sobbing quietly. I heard another hiss. When I looked around, I saw a tall, lean figure standing near a bench. I could not see properly, only the light of the moon and stars enabling me to see at all. As I cautiously walked closer, he said my name. I froze. It was definitely a boy, no older than seventeen with black hair – covering half of his, strange, red, and catlike eyes. He hissed once more. His tongue was thin and pointed his teeth sharp.
Then, he pounced.
I awoke on a pile of black ashes. I sat up, my head spinning. What had happened? I wasn’t supposed to be here. I had heard about this place. It used to be full of mortals, until one fallen angel, vampires, and wolves had wiped out a small quantity of the human race (up to now). Even children. I looked up to the sky, which was full of black snow. I knew better than to think it was just snow. The little fragments swirling in the wind were ashes, and the scarlet liquid on the floor, was blood.
