(((( I suggest this book for people above the age of 14 ))))
(((( The first chapter will mainly be actions, so not much speaking will happen ))))
"Vince get up now!" My mother banged on my door, startling me. I slid off my bed and slowly got myself back up. "Stop locking your door, we need to get ready like right now!" She kept yelling from outside. I slowly made my way over to the door, as soon as I opened it I got hit in the face by a fist. " OMG I'm so sorry Vince!" My mother said, walking in.
"Yeah, it didn't really feel to good... Anyway, why are you dressed so nice? Is there something happening today?" I asked her, not remembering anything, because of my head spinning.
"Only the most important event every 16 years!" She practically screamed, "now up up, we need to get you ready for The Selecting!" Oh god!! I forgot that that was today! I quickly adjusted myself, shoving my mom out the door. I ran to my dresser and stripped of my clothes. I put on a nice clean white hoodie with black accents and some black sweatpants, grabbing my phone from the charger next to me. I ran over to the door again and ushered my mom aside, closing the door behind me. I ran in the bathroom next to my room to brush my teeth, once done I ran back to my room and grabbed my new Adidas, pulling my mom along the way. My mother grabbed the comb from my nightstand and started combing my hair while I got the shoes on. Its not good to wear sneakers during these events, but you gotta be athletic right? Once my mother was finished we ran out of the room and to the front door. I quickly put on a black cloak to cover myself (Its cold outside right now, so we have to stay warm during this long event. Plus I just don't like being seen,) and ran outside. I made my way to the center of town with my mom behind me. Yes, she wanted to come and I don't know why,and yes I'm 16 but didn't have a choice on her coming with me. I quickly pulled out my phone out of my pocket and text my friends' and I's group chat.
Me: 'On you guys way to town square yet?'
Kody: 'For what?'
Me: 'Dude its The Selecting today!'
Kody: 'Oh... I'll be there in 20.'
Kayla: ' I forgot that was today! Probly shouldn't have gone to the party last night huh?'
Mason: 'Likely not a good idea. BTW, Vince, I'm next to you.'
×× End of chat ××
I look to my left. Nobody. I look to my right and Mason is standing next to me. I jumped in surprise. My mother went off with the other moms while everyone started getting cold from a breeze that just went over us. "Uhh, when'd you get here?" I asked Mason.
"Not to long ago. Seems as if everyone else forgot what it is today.." He responded to me. I started to chuckle. He looked at me like I had something on me but didn't want to say anything. Looking down, I noticed that there was a small lizard crawled up in my jacket pocket. He started giggling. A frown spread across my pale face looking back up at him. I picked up the lizard out of my pocket and put it under my sleeve while gently petting it. I turned to see Mason looking right next to me, terrified. I looked next to me, and sitting there was a man. He was staring at the lizard in my sleeve then at me.
"Hello there, what would be your name, young sir?" He asked me with a soothing voice. He looked like he was 30, but his eyes were white, filled with knowledge and wisdom. "And why is Zale cuddling with you?" Zale, I'm guessing is the lizard. To shocked to say anything, I froze in place, but quickly recovered.
"My name is Vince. I- I don't know why the lizard is with me... He was just in my pocket when he looked like we was cold, I put him in my sleeve to stay warm.. What is he anyway?" I looked back at the lizard and glanced at the man again.
