*Tavish's POV*
"Here we are, the Big Apple" I said to myself. In reality we were in front of a dumpy apartment complex, but it was all we could afford and was only a half hour from the city. I parked next to Connor and hopped out of my Jeep. I grabbed my suitcase, my typewriter (what? a man's gotta write), and some other little things to bring up to the apartment. We were on the fifth floor so as you can imagine carrying a suitcase and a typewriter wasn't exactly easy. We finally got up stair and went to room 5A. The girls would be in 5B across the hall. When we got into our room I noticed how big it was for an apartment. It had two bedrooms two bathrooms a kitchen a living room, the normal things, but was large. I saw immediately that Connor had taken the room to the left due to the fact the I could hear loud bass chords coming from the closed door. I walked into my room and set my typewriter down on my desk, my suitcase on my bed and started the long process of unpacking.
A few hours later after I had unpacked I knocked on Connors door and then opened it. He was sitting on his bed with his headphones on. He had driven most of that night and had been on the phone for the past few hours. He was probably tired but I woke him up anyways. I wanted to go grab some food and It didn't matter to me if he was tired or not. He looked at me with that the-hell-is-wrong-with-you-i-was-sleeping face. "Dude we need to go eat. I haven't eaten at all except for the one stop at McDonalds. Let's go. Get up." He hung his headphones around his neck and put his boots on. We walked down the long flight of stairs down to his car. I got in the passenger seat as he shifted into gear and hit the gas...hard. We drove right into Manhattan and slowed down looking for good restaurants. We finally stopped at this little hot dog place, got our hot dogs, and sat down on a bench outside the place and dug in. Connor pulled out and quickly texted the girls as the would be here soon. After we were done we began walking back to the car, when we ran into some criminals. They punched Connor and threw him into a wall. My vision started to turn green and I felt stronger. Then I blacked out.
I woke up on my bed without a scratch on me. I looked over at my clock. It was ten in the morning and I smelled waffles and heard laughing from the kitchen. I got up and walked out into the kitchen to see Maile, Hannah, and Connor sitting at the table with a large plate of waffles between them. I walked over, sat down, and loaded my plate up with waffles, then drowned them in syrup and dug in. I took a break and asked Connor what the hell happened. He was silent and just turned on the news. THe news lady started talking "as of last night, witnesses reported a large rock monster fighting two wanted criminals and protecting a civilian. We'll have more on this tonight" He turned it off. "So I was the rock monster?" I asked confused. "Yes. You knocked out the two guys and the changed back and passed out. I brought you home and put you on your bed." I looked at him but didn't mention the whole vision-turning-green-before-I-passed-out-and-apparently-became-a-rock-monster thing. He then turned to all of us, "I did some research after Tavish passed out and he is technically called a golem." I looked at him "A what?" "A golem. Stone brought to life by magic means so that it then becomes animate. Usually large strong and indestructible." Great. I was an indestructible rock monster and had no idea when I was the rock monster. I went into my room and layed down on my bed trying to think of how to explain this to my parents. "Oh hey mom, one other thing...I'm a rock monster" she would flip out. Maybe call an exorcist. Damn.
I walked back out into the kitchen a few hours later. Connor looked up at me "You wanna stay in, or go explore, or go do something with the girls?" I honestly wanted to stay home and do nothing, but Connor would become restless and start annoying me. I remember when he got so bored at lunch in middle school once, that he began arguing with me about why dipping chocolate chip cookies in chocolate milk is wrong. He said that then there was no point to the chocolate chips. "Let's go do some shopping with the girls. I'm sure you want to go buy some new music stuff, I need more paper and ink, Maile's gonna wanna buy some more games, and Hannah said she needs some more pastels and paint." I went back into my room changed into some jeans, a tee, and my sweatshirt I'd had forever. We walked out and knocked on the girls door. Hannah opened it with paint on her hands and dubstep playing loudly just as Maile yelled "Yay!" as she shot someone in the face on halo. So in other words things were normal. They got changed and headed with us towards my jeep. I started it and drove through the streets to the mall.
Hey did ya like it? I'm sorry I haven't put anything up in a while but I was strugling with ideas. Leave me comments with suggestions for the future. There may be a few characters being introduced next chapter.
