The game of survivors

Chapter 1 - 3

 Chapter-1

Harley was shocked. ' No no no no! Please ! please!' He didn't know what had happened, he didn't know how it had happened. It had just ....happened. And what should he do now?Well in that moment all he could do was cry. What had happened you ask? And who was Harley? Well let's go back a day.

It was a sunny day. It was 18 January 2015. And a tall skinny boy with bushy brown hair and blue eyes, also known as Harley Brayman of Westside London Highschool was probably the happiest person in the whole world that day. It was his birthday after all. He was turning 14 today. And he thought that this was going to be the most perfect birthday ever. His parents,Zeana and Sam Brayman had promised him a new bike for his 14th birthday as he was entering highschool.Zeana Brayman was a short woman with beautiful brown hair. She actually was a very pretty woman but working day and night had drained it out of her. Sam Brayman on the other hand was tall and plump and had black hair which was slowly balding. Both of them had beautiful blue eyes.

And the best about this birthday was that he was going to have a party. The Brayman family wasn't very poor but you couldn't call them rich as well. They had enough money to eat good three meals every day and send Harley to school. But they could afford nothing more. But this year his father had gotten a raise and so Harley was getting a party. The first birthday party of his life.

All was going well. Or so he thought.

It was his plan to meet his best friend Raymond Shuttersoc (or you could call him Ray) early in the morning and go order his birthday cake together. Ray and Harley coincidentally looked almost identical. Both of them had the same hair color , same face cut, their features were kind of same too.Many people even took them for twins. The only thing different was their eyes. Harley , like his parents, had blue eyes whereas Ray's eyes were dark brown.

So Harley woke up early that morning, got dressed and waited at the park for Ray. Where he heard it again. It refers to that voice. That voice that seemed to come from an unknown source and was only audible to him.

He had first heard it when he was 10. At that time he got really scared of it. 'I choose him' it said. He warned his parents about it but they didn't seem to hear it. So from then onwards he started to believe that it was only in his head.

That night he heard not one but two voices. 'It is only in my head' he told himself. But they were far too real for him to completely believe himself.

'My Rani , don't you think you should research more planets?' said a male voice.

' No, I sense it in him.' said the female one.

' But he is completely ordinary. To me he even looks weaker than the other rivalis.'

The female voice said nothing but gave a sigh.

The second time he heard it was when he was 12. On his way back home from school. This time it was only the female voice . ' Still not ready. Are you?' it said ' maybe we'll have to wait a couple of more years.

And this was the third time. This time it said ' Hmm... you look like you are ready. Let's test you.'

The odd thing was that every time he heard a voice something strange happened. The first time he heard it , a ray of lightning missed his home by inches. The second time he heard the voice, he fainted right there on the street. He told himself ' It's just a coincidence' but deep down he knew it was not.

Now that he had heard it again, Harley wondered what could possibly happen?

'Whatever it is' he thought to himself 'I am not gonna let it spoil my best birthday ever'
