Silver lining

Chapter1

My name is Ventus and this is my story. Everything was peaceful, life was great me and my mom were living in a two story house. Then one day they came, the Rangers .the scientist had built them to stop thugs and criminals ,ruthless killing machines but swift and fast like ninjas ,they went rouge killed the scientists and ran killed thousands of people's they took my mom and killed my dad.

Now there aren't many people left ,and they even took over are world. None of us have been able to beat them there self learning and are actually intelligent. They hide in the shadows and other dark places and if you see one there's no use in running ,your as good as dead.

That happened 8 years ago now I'm 16 those last 8 years I was struggling to survive.At first I was running around crying like a scared kid then I realized If I want to survive I have to get tougher and this would be my number one rule ,every man for himself.

I woke up early the next day ,I checked my digital watch it said 5:30. I couldn't look at the sky to tell the time after the Rangers took over, the sky turned an ugly grey from all the pollution. I have to get up early every day because I need to switch houses every day so they don't find me ,there really smart so I got up grabbed an old slightly torn grey backpack filled it with food ,cereals and chimichangas. I grabbed my katana I always keep it on me it was a gift from my parents I had always told them I wanted to be a ninja. It was a long katana with a black handle with a single word engraved on the edge HOPE.

I run upstairs and grab my pocket knife a second weapon just to be safe.Its a long silver pocket knife,it also had the word hope engraved on it. When I was little my parents used to always tell me don't lose hope and I always will remember that. I walk down the stairs as I walk down quietly,I hear a noise in the kitchen I slowly look around the banister I see a ranger slowly walk about my kitchen as if he lives there.

I see him turn his head slightly and looks directly at me ,with a smug kind of look as if he's saying your as good as dead I. I turn my head real quick grab my katana and turn back he's gone I feel my stomach turn, I grip my katana tightly. I hear a creak I turn around and jump off the stairs fast and hear a crack like a bat broke against someone's head and see the ranger with his sword in the slammed in the ground

.I realize the door is right behind me I shake my self from fear and right as I'm bout to run for the door I see the ranger stand there lifelessly just staring at me. it smiles psychotically and walks back and fades into the blackness behind him.i grab my backpack and katana and run before he's has another chance to kill me and run down the street with all my strength and don't stop running I didn't care if my legs aren't all the way awake .

I run a couple a more blocks and come to a beat up old one story house with a back yard .I grab the handle ,its locked I kick open the door and walk in ,I search the kitchen first to see if there is any food not much ,a lot of top roman is all I see. It's a small house blue couch fire place kitchen and garage and backyard I walk and sit down tired of all the running today.i walk to the couch and suddenly it feels like I got hit by a wave I drop super dizzy I get a flash of a image but it's really quick then it comes back but for longer it's my mom in a jail cell in some building suddenly I'm not dizzy anymore I'm tired I can't even move I manage to grab onto the the couch and pull my self up I can't move after that I used all my power getting on the couch I try to move but instead I fall in to the black void that is sleep
