Hi, this is a book I have been writing, there might be a sequel, there might not, but anyway this is only a small part of the first book. If you liek it, reply and I will write the rest!!!
************************************************** ******************
The school bell was the most dreaded sound in the eintire village. It either meant time for the kids to come out and cause a riot, or it meant they had to go IN and cause a riot. The smal village of Holerr had few residents, which made people wonder why so many kids went to the school there. Most of them were badly behaved, but one of the boys was VERY quiet, and nobody knew much about his childhood. He stood mostly on his own in one of the dark corners of the school yard, always reading some sort of old book. Of course NOBODY knew or cared about him, so everyone left him alone. But this boy, Zach Shay, had a very tradgic childhood, one filled with creatures from under the bed, and looming shadows which followed you home on dark nights. He had never told anyone his great secret, not even his parents knew. As a matter of fact, his parents were under the impression he was dead!

It all started one rainy afternoon in november. Zach had been playing with his sister in his bedroom, when he heard a scream from downstairs. He ran down, and found his mother slumped in a couch, and a tall figure in a grey robe was standing over her. Zach's father in the meantime was out cold on the floor, and the man in the robe suddenly swirled on the spot and leaped onto Zach's father. The man bent his head to the unconcious fathers neck and bit it. Blood gushed out and spilled onto the floor. Zach stared in horror as the man drank nosily. Zach turned and looked at his mum, only to see her neck covered in blood too!
Then the man in the robe turned on Zach. He took 3 long strides towards when all of a sudden there was a THWACK and the man in the robe slumped onto the floor. A man in ripped clothes lept through the window and took the knife he had thrown at the robed mans head.
"W-wo are you?" Asked Zack nervously.
"Nevermind that. Your parents are alive but you wont be seeing them again. Your sister will be OK but will start crying when she comes downstairs. We need to go. So take my hand and we shall leave this behind and begin our mission." Said the man.
The man held out his hand.
"But, what was that man doing? Who are you? Why are you here?" Yelled Zach, getting afraid.
The man held out his hand further.
"But..."Zach started.
"Are you coming or not?" Said the man in a frustrated voice.
He shook his hand in front of Zach's face.
Zach looked at the man, and his parents, and the man in the robe.
Take the hand and run? Or stay and live a life knowing all about this.
Shake or not?
Then Zach decided.

TO BE CONTINUED???
YOU DECIDE!
