chapter 2

A Chapter by levi marken

After reading the last note I was given, I didn’t feel like I was being watched anymore. I got out of my truck and jumped into the bed of the truck. I pulled my bag over and opened it up. There was a note inside. It read

Before I go I thought

You might need

These

Under the note there was black leather case that led the length of the bag, I went to grab it. Right when my hand touched it I had to pull it away, it was burning hot. So I went in my truck grabbed a pair of work gloves and a knife. I jumped back in and grabbed the case and pulled it out before it could burn me. When I got it out and flipped it over, there was a zipper on the back or front depending on which way you look at it. The zipper was white hot, I didn't understand how the entire bag wasn't on fire. By now I could feel the heat radiating off the bag. I took my knife and slid the tip into the hole in the zipper and pushed it open. It opened and there was a huge burst of heat that threw me out of my truck.

When I woke up it was dark out, I got up reached into my pocket and grabbed my phone. It was 4:23 am, I was knocked out for over 12 hours. I shut the door of my truck and went to the back then I noticed that the sides had been melted and the bag was open inside was a shield and two swords. Each sword was about two feet long. One had a black sheath with light blue lines through it looked like the lines were moving like an electric pulse. I reached down to grab the handle then I felt a waves of heat radiating out from the other sword. The sword underneath it looked similar except it looked like lava was flowing through it. I took my gloves off and reached down with both hands to pick them up once I got them in my hands one sent a shock through my body and numbed my arm and the other one started to feel like it was burning my arm then it went numb too. I dropped both swords on the ground and pulled off my sweat shirt. my arms had these weird markings on them my left looked like I had flames coming from my shoulder down to my arm, and my right looked like I had a bolt of lightning coming from my shoulder to my fingertips. Right then I knew that they weren't normal and that I was in trouble.

I went back over to the bag and lifted the shield out. It was the most beautiful shield ever it was round with a gold outer rim and had curvy lines running through it that looked like lave and straight lines that had a light blue tint to them together they looked incredibly beautiful. I slid it onto my arm and when I did it shrank down into a watch. The watch had a bluish band, a deep orange almost red color to the clock face, and the metal on it looked like solid gold but it wasn’t as soft.

Since that person who was leaving the notes for me left it for me, I knew I had better keep track of it. I went to look in the bag again to see if anything was left. I saw one last black thing in the bottom it was a belt with connectors for the swords. I reached down and picked it up and put it on. When I looked back up from putting it on I saw another note it said:

I wish you the best of luck

Remember to never let these leave your side

My last note for you this far is about their power

The belt can't break or come off unless you will it to

The shield will open only when you need it or when you want it to

Good luck

I knew right then and there that I needed to leave, because these items where in my dreams. If my dreams were right I am in trouble. I decided that if I was going to live I would need to get the note writer on my side. So I took the note and wrote on it

Hello? I would like to cooperate with you but only if you will answer my questions.

Then right under what I wrote words started to appear it said:

What would you like to know?

I wrote back

I want to know how you know me and who you are.

On the paper more writing appeared

Are you sure that you

Really want to know it will change

Everything and you will need to start running or fighting

I wrote back

Yes I want to know who you are

Why you are doing this to me
