Who Is Red?

RED POV:

I'm trapped, in a cage, looking for someone or something to set me free. Because I know whatever I do, I can't break free. I feel pain, my heart aching for the people I love, cause I knew from the beginning that, whatever I do, a day's gonna come, when all the people I love, will be paying for the things I've done.

Things that were bound to happen, things that were out of my control, things I did to save my loved ones from the terror, of the dangerous part of the world.

I feel helpless in this cage, but I don't show even an ounce of weakness, for I know that's when the enemy attacks.

I have to be strong. NO. I should be strong. Cause the enemy never attacks you directly. He causes pain to you in ways you'll never be able to cope up with. Pain that will scar you for Life.

I hear people's cries, some begging for forgiveness, some begging for the pain to end, some cursing that I won't get away with what I did, some promising me that they'll haunt me for the rest of my life.

I try to break free, even when I know I can't, but the noise is too much to bare, too much where even I can't do anything. I have to get out, I have to break free. I look everywhere to see if there's an escape, but I find none.

Then he appears out of nowhere and starts coming in my direction and as he gets closer, the crying vails of people increases even more.

I know who he is, he is fate or as some call, destiny. And he is coming to finish his task. His task of getting rid of monsters like me.

Now, I can't do anything. There is nothing left to do. All I can hope is, the people I love, more than life itself ,to not see me as a monster I see myself.

Then he comes and my destiny is fulfilled.

SAM POV:

I get up from my bed lazily and look at the clock. "5.00 AM". Whaaatt? Why the fuck did I get up so early? Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Now I can't go back to sleep.

I drag myself to the bathroom and brush my teeth. I get freshed up and put on some dark blue jeans and a white T-shirt, then my leather jacket pairing them off with white jordans.

I go downstairs, to see my mom making delicious pancakes. Then I go to her and give her a kiss on the cheek, "Morning mom."

"Good Morning sweetheart",

" Why are you up so early? Excited on the first day of school?" She asks flipping a pancake.

"I'm anything but excited" I grumble. She sighs, then switches the stove off and puts that pancake with the rest on the plate. Then she comes and sits down on the chair next to mine, turns to me and puts both of her hands on either sides of my cheeks.

"Hey, I know that you're not happy with us moving again, but you know why we had to do it, right?" "It's for your own good, and safetey". She whispers the last part obviously not wanting me to hear, but I did.

I sigh, "I know, don't worry, I'm seriously gonna try to work it out here."

She smiles lovingly at me, " Okay, now eat your pancakes and get to school." She scolds jokingly. "If I don't show up till eight, know that I'll probably be doing a night shift." She says, pushing the plate of pancakes towards me.

"Okay, mom."

You see my mom started working as a nurse in the nearby hospital, when we moved here. Sometimes she over works herself, but I don't say anything because she loves her job a lot.

I quickly eat all my pancakes, say bye to my mom and drive my dark blue Mustang to school. I love my car a little too much, maybe because I had to work my ass off to buy it.

The drive to my new school, 'Green ridge high' took about 20 minutes. I park my car in one of the empty spots. Not many people are here right now. Guess I did come to school way too early.

I go in and start looking for the office. After I find it, I go in to find a blonde woman in her mid thirties handing some papers to a girl with jet black hair. After she's done with the girl, she turns to me and smiles widely. Her name tag says 'Sharon'.

"You must be the new kid, what's your name?" she asks with too much enthusiasm.

I grimace, " Sam. Samuel Walter." She smiles again before handing me my time table. Then she turns to the previous girl who stood aside and was checking her time table.

"Miss Rain", the girl looks up from her sheet.

WOW! that's the first thing that comes to my mind. She was gorgeous with her jet black hair which reaches just below her shoulders and beautiful black orbs, black orbs?

Hmm. They're just a very dark shade of brown I think. She even has a small horizontal scar on her left cheek bone.

She was wearing dark blue jeans, white tank top and then paired them off with a black jean jacket and black converse.

The girl whose name I learned was 'Rain' clears her throat. I come out of my trance. Guess she caught me staring. Oh well..

She looks at me sceptically from top to bottom like she's analysing me. I feel uncomfortabe but I don't show it. Then she does the unexpected. She offers me a small smile and extends her hand. "I'm Rain, and you are?"

"Sam Walter." I say putting my hand in hers and shaking it firmly. Man she got a hell of a grip.

She nods her head. " Come on, let's go"

"Where?" I ask with a look of confusion on my face.

She chuckles. " You didn't listen to what the lady said, did you?"

"I may or maynot have heard nothing exept your name" I say grinning sheepishly.

"The beautiful lady here" she gestured to 'Sharon', who stopped doing her work and was now looking at us with pure amusement etched to her face,

" kindly asked me if I could give you a tour of the school because I already checked it out yesterday"

"Wait! So, you're new too?" I ask.

"Yep, Now, come on" "Bye Sharon." She shouts over her shoulder and pulls me out of the room.

Then she turns to me, "Give me your time table, let's see what classes we have together."

And thus my day started off with Rain giving me a tour of the whole school. You know what I learnt after the tour? I learnt that this school was just like all the other schools. Same old blue lockers, a huge football ground, basket ball court, library and the cliche cafeteria.

Not a while later the bell rung and both of us headed off to homeroom. Turns out we have all the morning classes together.

And the rest of the morning went by in a blur with Rain and me joking around in all the classes, girls giving me flirtatious smiles and me winking at some.

Would you believe if I told you we almost landed in detention? keyword 'almost'. I never thought the first day of school could be this much fun.

And now it's lunch.We both decided to head back to our lockers and meet in the cafeteria.

I placed all of the unwanted stuff in my locker and then started walking to the cafeteria.

But nothing could have prepared me for the sight that I was about to see when I would enter it.

Okay. So this is the first chapter of my very first book.

There will be more books related, but every book could be read as a stand-alone.

So, give me your thoughts on the chap.

~Bye.
