Journey

Chapter 1

Eryan dashed around the sky. The Giant Manatee chasing after him, trying to grab him in the night. Eryan was weak, and he knew he couldn't fight Manatee alone. He threw a rock at him, hoping it would be enough. Manatee shrugged it off and grabbed him. "Puny Earthworm. You are not what you used to be. I will destroy you." Manatee exclaimed. Manatee started squeezing tighter on Eryan.

The breath started fading from inside him. The fight spirit in Eryan started to diminish. A flashback started to enter his mind.

"Miana! Give me back my spiderman!' Young Eryan said. His sister, Miana, ran around the house until she found their father, and hid behind him.

"Daddy! Eryan isn't letting me play with him." She said, gripping her father's jacket and peeking out behind him.

"That's because Miana can't play with my stuff. She wants to play with barbies!!' Eryan said back, defending himself. Miana and Eryan went back and forth a few more times before their father stopped them.

"Ana, give Eryan back his toy." He said. Miana reluctantly gave it back. "Now, Eryan, apologize for being mean to your sister."

Eryan looked astonished."But Dad!' His father threw a stern look his way. Eryan tore his head down, clasped his hands together, and, using her nickname, said "Sorry Ana."

Their father pulled Miana from behind and pulled them into a group hug. Just as the nice moment had start to close, a furious knock on the door was heard.

The father got up and looked through the peephole. His face looked concerned. He turned around with a scared look on his face.  "Miana, go in your room, lock the door. Eryan, come here." The children looked scared but followed directions. Eryan walked up to his father. "Eryan, if anything happens to me. Look inside the top drawer.  There will be a paper in there. Go to the address. Don't tell Miana anything.Now go hide." He said.

Eryan, only 10 years old, went to hide under the chair table in the living room. He looked from a small hole in the table. What he saw was graphic.

*Miana!*Eryan thought. With renewed strength, he lifted his arm up and sprayed Manatee in the face with a giant rock. Manatee threw Eryan away and started to clean off his face. Eryan fell with a thud a few feet away from his sister house. With his intense injuries, Eryan made his way to the house, and broke through the door, coming in and closing the door with rock.

"What's going on?"Miana said, walking out from her room to see Earthworm, struggling to stand. "What the hell!"

Eryan takes off his mask, and with the little strength he has, he says, "Miana..." before collapsing on the ground. Miana runs to him with tears in her eyes.

"Eryan! What's going on? Are you ok? What happened? You're Earthworm?!" She asked all questions in a rush. Eryan looked up at her and smiled weakly.

"Nice to see you too, sis."Eryan says, his voice cracking. Miana starts checking him a bit. "You're hurt. Bad. We have to take you to a hospital." Miana starts to get up. Eryan grabs her arm, pulling her back down.

"Ana, I'm dying. I don't have much time left. I need you to listen to me. No questions." Eryan says. His voice shook. Miana got up closer.

"What is it, Eryan?" She asks, quickly disobeying what he said. When she realizes this, she smiles.

Eryan takes a deep breath. "I have super powers. I can control rocks, or the ground. I don't know how to explain it very well. But when we were younger, when dad died, I started to notice these powers. It's not only me either. Dad had them. There are other people who have them too. They help protect the world from vicious evils. I'm sure you have them. You have to go to them Ana." Eryan says before groaning.

"What do you mean I have super powers? Eryan, are you sure you're ok? You're speaking crazy." Miana says. "Is this a prank?"

Eryan, in response, musters up a bit of power to take a small rock from the wall he used to board up the door. He hands it to her. The rock is smooth and flat, his favorite type. "Miana, this is not a joke. Find the people. Get a piece of paper." Miana gets up and and leaves to the kitchen. She quickly comes back with a pad of paper and a pen.

"Write this down. The address is 4860 Wood St. When you go there, pick up two bricks laying on the ground. Tap them together three times." Eryan says before stopping and groaning again. Miana stops writing and sets the paper down. She can see he's getting weaker.

"Eryan, cmon. I'll do it but let me take you to a hospital. Please." She pleases. Eryan doesn't answer, just closes his eyes and smiles. His breathing begins getting more faint. "Eryan please. Don't die. Please stay with me!" Miana begins desperately pleading. Tears run down her face as her brother dies in her arms.

Eventually, after a laborious 5 minutes, Eryan's breathing subsides. His soul leaves his body. Miana cries even harder as she feels the spirit leaving her brother. She places her head on his chest and sobs.
