The Rise of The Fallen: The Vial of Morpheus

Chapter 1:

The alarm clock beside my bed keeps buzzing and buzzing I tried to find the snooze button but failed, so I sat up rubbing the sleep out of my eyes my memory was still vivid from last night although I couldn't be sure whether it was real or not, it involves furry fox tails I was with - .

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Nicholas!" my sister shouted angrily from outside my room, I looked at the clock 11:30 "Hey! Can't you hear me!" she continued banging on my door, I walk to the door and open it

"What do you want?" I said sleepily.

"Oh, nothing really except this morning I found traces of mud in the the living room's carpet," she said, but I only stared at her, "And where have you been last night?"

That woke up my consciousness, "W-What are you talking about?, I h-haven't been anywhere last night

"uh huh." she said plainly, "Spill it!"

"No." I said but I was to tired to argue "Fine," I said glaring coldly at her " I've been out practicing my archery skills, happy?"

She smirked "Ooooo-kay, That was lame because I saw your bow last night and it doesn't look like it's been used, your arrows were thirteen" she said holding up my quiver of arrows and counted out aloud " 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13!-"

"Give it back!" I tried to snatch the quivers but Sarah was quick "You're Impossible!"

"Fine you can have your stupid arrows, after you clean the carpet go to the kitchen and have some lunch"

I tried to shut the door in her face but she instantly blocks it with her right hand, "And by the way who's Jessica?" with that, my face felt hot I stop pushing the door I was only leaning on it so when she removed her hands I fall on the floor sitting hard "Ow" I whispered quietly

I walked in front of the mirror and look at my eyes I felt relax, My eyes were the color of mint blue, many people find it strange and at the same time interesting, I took off my white shirt and change into a gray shirt and blue shorts after I brush my teeth and wash my face I went down to the living room and star scrubbing up the carpet it took me four hours to get it clean even though stains of mud can be still seen, I went to the kitchen it was clean and everything from floor to table it polished, I went to the sink to wash my hands, after that I went to open the refrigerator to find something to eat, I found two slices of pie: one mango, the other was peach I took both and grabbed a carton of orange juice.

Sarah came in from the living room "Hey,"

I glared at her "What do you want?"

"Mom called"

I lost my anger and my voice becomes whiny "W-when?"

"Last night,"

"When are they coming back?"

"She wasn't sure, and - "

"What about Dad?,- "

"That's what I'm about to tell you" Sarah said "He's busy and mom said when something happens will go to them"

I couldn't speak after two years of being away cause of some business trip, "Y-you mean go to mom"

Sarah nodded

"Do you know where is it?, Did mom tell you?"

She nodded again "She told me to bring your bow"

"Why?"

"Just in case - " she was cut of by a knock from the door, she stood up and walk out of the kitchen, she stop and looked back "Go get Sammy"

I nodded, as I walk to Sammy's room I heard the door open, I went in and picked up Sammy who was already awake chewing on her teether , when she saw me she smiled at me and said "Gak!"

"Shh, quiet " I told her, we went outside to the living room an carefully peaked and walk to where Sarah and the 'Visitor' is.

Sarah looked at me as she set up her blonde hair in a messy ponytail "Nicholas and Sammy this is Phoebe, Phoebe this is Nicholas and Sammy"

"It's nice to meet you," she said shaking my hands, for a girl probably my age; has a strong grip "I heard your a good archer"

I chuckled " I'm not that good"

Sarah smirked "Don't be to modest Nicholas"

I smiled nervously and handed Sammy to Sarah, "Phoebe will be staying here tonight, then tomorrow were going to mom"

" Are you serious?, Okay then," after that I went to my room, and lay down, I picked up a book about Celtic mythology and pagan witch craft those kind of things interested me more that playing video games or using gadgets, So I read, and read, and read until I fall asleep but with the last thought before I slipped off was: "What is waiting for me tomorrow" I thought

"You have no Idea," a voice spoke into my head, but before I had the time to wonder, I passed out.
