FireStarter

Chapter 1

Today sucks the sky is gloomy.I left my favorite book at home and I stubbed my damn toe.My day started craptastically. I woke up late and almost missed my bus so I just threw on anything I could find so now I'm stuck wearing a blue button down shirt with striped red shorts and my favorite black high tops.Now that I look closer I realize my shirt has a stain on it.Is that mustard?I don't even eat it!!Sigh life is pain.luckily I made it onto the bus in the nick of time and there were many open seats.Being the second stop had its perks.I took a seat and started looking ou the window as the bus made its frequent stops.

I sighed,at the fact that nothing had changed in three years.Same guys who thought they were the best thing since internet porn and the same girls who thought the world revolved around them thinking they would be actresses but end up being assistants. Amidst the sea of mediocrity there are some people who are different.As I looked out the window I perked up noticing the surroundings we were at my friends stop.Jesse Jones got on the bus and and smiled with her supple lips and amber eyes resting on her naturally tan skin.She was pretty and could get a boyfriend if it wasn't for her mouth.She practically spat venom when she talked.

"Hey carter did you fight your closet and lose or do you like looking like shit ."she said as she pushed me over sitting next to me."Oh shut up I look amazing"I posed showing off knowing she was right and I looked ridiculous."Besides can you really talk."Jesse never dressed normal she always looked like she was a cross between a Victorian lady and a millennial rapper.With her skinny jeans and sneakers which seem normal till you look up and see a flowing shirt with lace sleeves and a midsection hat looked like a corset hugging her body.

"Oh shut up you fool."she punched me lightly pulling her sleeve back  revealing a larger scratch."Hey whats that on your arm Jess?"holding her arm I examined it before receiving a swift punch to the leg.I winced and let go of her arm rubbing my stinging leg."what was that for!?"She looked away from me which was odd for her she is usually very open with me.

Before I could think of it any longer a deafening screech rang in my ears followed by a cackle that made all the hair on my body stand on edge.Finally a voice came through all the laughter it didn't sound real.It was a raspy tone and you could hear the happiness in its voice."Finally!!I have found you..you little pest.I'm coming for you and when I do Im going to take everything you hold dead!!"the voice finished with its cackle as it faded from my mind only leaving a splitting a headache causing me to double over in pain. "Hey carter are you ok?"Jesse asked inquisitively looking at me with worry."I-I'm fine just a bad headache."I couldn't tell her I heard a crazy voice saying it was coming for me,she'd think I was crazy.

The bus arrived at school pushing the thought of that voice and the ominous feeling that lingers when I think about it.

In a distant location.

"He has been found my master."A young man with horns that start to curve upward and reddish skin knelt before a figure on a throne covered in a cloak."Good good we will now proceed with the plan..."He said smiling revealing white pointed teeth "but not before we torture him first."he let out a loud cackle."The bearer of the flame of war.The almighty and unholy force of destruction.The firestarter has returned!!"
