Redemption

Chapter 1- Nothing to Fear

Waking up to another day, Ray looks outside of his window. Looking up into the morning blue sky, Ray can't help but get an uneasy feeling in his gut. Ray takes a deep breathe and tried to stay calm. He walks downstairs and into the kitchen opening the refridgerator and grabbing a left over box of chinese food. He sits down not bothering heating up the food and start eating.

"Another day, but the same routine that I do over and over again. It gets really tiring."

Ray turns on the t.v. flicking through channels. Seeing reports of another victim being killed and torn apart. They told people to stay indoors until they have solved this problem. He didn't care much about it and didn't plan to. He finish eating and turn off the t.v. Looking around the empty house as all Ray could hear is the passing cars outside of his house.

"I guess this is what my life will be like for a long time. Quiet and Lonely. If only dad was still here...."

He clenched his fist at the thought of my dad and throws the empty carton of food onto the floor. He   then felt tears going down his  face as he  wipes them away.

"Why am I crying for? He's gone. I shouldn't be crying over something so dumb."

Ray looks at the time and start cleaning up to head out to work. He cleans up the mess and freshened up and start walking out the door. Walking out of his house,  he  takes another deep breathe and starts walking to work. He arrived at work but the store was closed. Ray looks at the time on his phone. "9:00 A.M. its suppose to be open at 8:00 A.M. Thats a bit strange."

Ray waited for a good ten minutes waiting for the store to be open but decided just to walk around and see what's going on. Ray start walking around and walked towards a newstand booth and approached the owner of the booth. "Excuse me, do you know why the store over there isn't opened?"

The man looks over to the store and looks back at Ray. "You don't know?" The man asked with a questionable expression on his face. He then gave Ray a newspaper and he grabbed and opened it started to read what's going on. The man that was recently killed was my boss of the store. "Damn it. Now how am I suppose to get paid? Thanks man." Ray gave back the newspaper and start walking around town. The killings just keep appearing more and more. What's going on with this city? Who could be doing all thiis? Alot of questions popped in my head then I got a second thought. "Wait....why am I thinking about this? I got nothing to worry about."

Ray decided to go back home and just relax for the whole day. Ray arrived at home and walked up to the door. All of a sudden his heart started to beat faster and faster like some kind of second sense is telling me to not go through the door. Ray rubs my head and just took a deep breathe and turned the knob of my door and all of a sudden the door was blasted back towards me and he flew back into a car. A jolt of pain was shot to my back when he collided with the car. "Son of a AGH!"

Ray's house all of a sudden just exploded and he runs out of the way from the flying debris trying to stay alive. "What the hell just happened?!!" Seconds later, black cars start arriving and men in suits gets out of the car. One of the men had a silver metal chain around his arm and lashes it out and it locked onto Ray's wrist and starts pulling him to the group of men. "Who the hell are you guys?!!!  Let me go!!"

One of the men came up to me smoking a cigarette. "Im just come out and ask you this. Where is your father research?" Ray looks at the man with a furious and confused look. "What the hell you talking about?! I dont know what you want but I'm not letting you get away with this!!" The man draws out a sword and lashes it right at Ray's locked arm cutting it off. The blood was rushed out of his arm as he fell onto my knees clenching my armless body in pain. The man aims the sword at Ray's neck and raises his sword to slash at him. Ray looks up to the man with a frightened expression on his  face.

But Ray eyes caught another figure of a figure on top of a building and flies right at my direction. The figure grabbed the man and swoops him up from the ground into the air and starts tearing his limbs off. The men starts firing their guns at the black figure as it disappeared again and reappeared on one of the cars and it starts lashing out long whips with black knives on them and starts cutting up the men one after another. Blood flew into the air and onto the concrete. Ray's vision got more and more blurring from the loss of blood and he falls to the ground with his eyes slowly closing. The rest of the men retreated into their bloody vehicles and took off down the road.

The black figure draws back her whips into its' body and floated off the car. It reaches out it hand and it starts sucking up white mist from the dead corspes. The figure looks at Ray and walks towards his direction. As it gets closer to Ray, the figure blurred out while hearing the  sound of  heels walking towards his direction. The mysterious person kneeled down and moved  Ray's hair out of his  eyes as it whispers into my ear with a feminine voice. "You have nothing to fear. I am here."
