Chapter 16

******************Carl POV*******************

My name is Carl Thompson and I was born in New York City. My mom was a slut who slept with anyone so I never knew my father, but I met a lot of other men. I've had to fend for myself for as long as I can remember.

My mother mostly ignored me, but she got a boyfriend when I was 9 who seemed a little to interested in me. He started out with just beating me, but when I turned 10 he came in drunk one night while my mom was probably out with another guy.

I was asleep in my room when he came in and climbed on top of me. It took him about 10 minutes to finish his business and he went back to his room.

I went to the kitchen to get a knife then I snuck into his room and cut his throat. I stabbed him in the groin many times then I went back to my room and slept. My mother came home the next morning and called the police.

I was arrested, but ended up getting off with self defense. I lived in a few different foster homes after that since they didn't want to return me to my mother. I turned 18 and was sent out on my own. I got into bad business and became a dealer then I branched out and started managing a bunch of whores.

My life actually wasn't that bad. I was now 21 and have plenty of money. I never finished high school, but I liked learning new things. I went to some plays and really enjoyed Sweeney Todd.

I wanted a new look so I died my hair black and always wore a black hoodie. I ended up having to kill a few of my whores when they got a little to clingy. I made it fast and severed their carotid artery.

One of them even told me they were having my baby, but a whore can never be trusted so I had a look. I don't know if it was mine, but she was pregnant.

I was walking back to my apartment one night when a police car stopped in front of me. When he got out he was being very rude and pointed his gun at me.

Police officer:"Get on the ground your under arrest!"

I raised my arms into the air and said with a smile.

Carl:"What for officer."

Police officer:"Murder! You bastard!"

He seemed really angry so I made a guess.

Carl:"Oh did you know one of them."

Police officer:"Charlotte my daughter! She called me three weeks ago and told me she was pregnant and settling down!"

Carl:"Sorry but I don't know anyone with that name."

Police officer:"She told me your name and when the body was found the uterus was cut out!"

Carl:"That doesn't prove I did it."

Police officer:"I know....that's why you shouldn't have resisted arrest."

The police officer fired at me and I took off running. Luckily none of the bullets hit me, but he was chasing after me. I turned a corner and was assaulted by a blinding light.

****************Falon POV****************

I was sitting in my room making more bullets for my guns when there was a knock.

Knock knock

I went to the door and opened it and there was Tessa holding the blood magic book.

Tessa:"Falon I want to talk to you about this book."

Falon:"Sure come in."

Tessa entered the room and walked over to my bed then sat down.

Tessa:"I found out that this book has a name. It's called Rauðskinna. I believe it is a summoned hero's weapon."

Falon:"So that book, Rauðskinna, was summoned."

Tessa:"Yes it must have been a very long time ago when Rauðskinna and it's hero was summoned."

Falon:"What makes you think it was summoned?"

Tessa:"There's all sorts of magic in it that I've never heard of and stories are written in it about places that sound like there from completely different worlds."

Falon:"How did the demons end up with it?"

Tessa:"I don't know, but since they found a way to use Rauðskinna maybe there related or share a common trait. I don't really know, but this book can do some amazing things."

Falon:"Can you use it?"

Tessa:"Yes but there are so many spells that I don't know where to start."

Falon:"Something that will help protect you would be the best to start with."

Tessa:"There's a spell that seems to be necromancy that will revive the dead. I have to perform a spell on there corpse to make it a summons."

Falon:"Well put that aside for now since I don't feel like hunting for corpses."

Tessa:"Ok but this book contains a blood summons."

Falon:"What's that?"

Tessa:"I think it's a hero summons that I can perform alone."

Falon:"You can summon a hero alone! It's going to take all of the knight mages to do our summons."

Tessa:"I can do it but I'll still need help."

Falon:"I'll do whatever you ask me to."

Tessa:"First we have to wait for the full moon."

Falon:"That gives us four days."

Tessa stood up.

Tessa:"I'm going to spend time with the girls. You need to talk to Leon and Isaac about this."

Falon:"Sure I'll go do it now."

I got up and followed Tessa to the door, but she stopped right in front of it and turned around.

Tessa:"Falon.....what did you think of that....kiss?"

She was blushing, but looked me straight in the eyes. I put my hands on her shoulders then pulled her close to me and kissed her. Our lips separated after a minute, but I was still holding her.

Falon:"Does that answer your question."

She nodded and we kissed again. I don't know what would have happened in the next few minutes.

Knock Knock

The two of us jumped apart and she rushed over to a chair then sat down while I opened the door.

Leon:"Falon we're planning the hero summons and I would like you to be there."

Falon:"Sure I'll come straight to the meeting room after I wrap up my current business."

Leon looked inside and saw Tessa sitting in a chair.

Leon:"Oh. Ok."

He turned and left then I closed the door. Tessa walked up to me.

Tessa:"I'll be leaving now."

She opened the door, but I grabbed her arm and pulled her into one more kiss.

Falon:"See you later."

Tessa:"Sure."

We both left and I went to the meeting room. Inside were Gaz, Isaac, Leon and a blue haired Mage.

Leon:"Falon this is the head Mage of the knight mages. He will be overseeing the hero summoning ritual."

Falon:"It's nice to meet you I'm Falon."

Mage:"I'm Victor. We can be prepared to summon the hero in three days."

*****************Sam POV****************

I'm Samuel Dodson and I'm 17. I'm in high school and I'm part of the basketball team. I've got dirty blonde hair and I'm six foot four. I jog every morning then work out for about three or four hours.

My father was a boxer, but he now runs a small gym where he trains me. My mother is a nurse at a local hospital which is a job she says she enjoys. I have a little sister who I adore and a girlfriend who I've loved since I was 7.

Girlfriend:"I want to break up Sam."

Sam:"What! Why!"

Girlfriend:"I'm in love with Chad now."

Sam:"Who is Chad."

Girlfriend:"Chad is going to be a rockstar."

Chad:"Sup."

I punched him right in his face.

Girlfriend:"How could you hit Chad!"

Sam:"Cause he stole you from me."

Girlfriend:"I don't belong to you. Your to possessive I can't handle being with you. I'm not even aloud to have any guy friends."

Sam:"Cause this is what happens when your with other guys."

Girlfriend:"It never would have come to this if you would have trusted me."

She helped Chad up and left with him and all I could think about was how alone I felt. Losing love felt so crippling that I needed something to take my mind off my problems.

I was walking home when I saw a mugging. The man had a knife and was pointing it at the woman. She had a small child with her and I felt compelled to do something.

I sprinted towards the mugger and he noticed me. When I was close he lunged forwards and I jumped to the side dodging the blade. I was able to land a punch on his chin which made his head pop forwards then snap back knocking him out.

I could feel the adrenaline and it felt good. In that moment I had forgotten all about my lost love. The woman called the police and thanked me. I told the police what I did and they looked proud of me. I was called a hero and I loved it.

I put more time into my boxing training and told father that I wanted to become a professional fighter. He seemed really happy so he taught me everything he new. I would go for walks at night in bad parts of town so that I could get that feeling again, but it was never the same.

I never went against a gun since I didn't want to die, but I was never hit by a knife so I wanted something more. I had a few boxing matches, but the street fights were more fun. It was even more fun when there was someone to protect like the mother and her child from my first time.

I was going out to look for more people to save one night when a man came up from behind me and pointed a gun at my head.

Man:"Your the guy who's been going around beating up people aren't you."

Sam:"I've only been saving people."

Man:"Saving people that's funny since you attacked some of my men while they were in the middle of delivering some goods."

Sam:"I don't know what you mean. I've never attacked someone unless they attacked me or someone was in danger."

Man:"From an outsider it may have looked like my goods were in danger. It was a young girl who owed me money, but we came to an agreement on how she could pay me back."

Sam:"You make me sick. Your nothing but the scum of society."

I twisted backwards and grabbed his arm. He fired off a shot and it made my ears ring, but I kneed his arm causing him to drop his gun. I punched him in the face over and over again until he was knocked out.

He was hurt pretty bad, but not dead. I got up and started walking home. I had a little blood on my knuckles and hoodie, so I took it off wiped my knuckles and threw it away.

*That felt amazing! I could have been shot, but I turned the tables on him!*

I started to jog and think about who I might save next.

*I can't wait to find someone else who needs my help.*

I was suddenly blinded by a bright light and had to close my eyes. I was surprised when I opened my eyes and saw people and a place I didn't recognize. Around me was a white silk ribbon that wrapped my entire body.

Person:"Welcome hero! We have summoned you to aid us in defeating the Demon King! Will you help our people?"

I was so excited. This was something I never expected to happen to me.

Sam:"Yes of course!"

Person:"Then please speak the name of your weapon."

*Weapon? What weapon?*

Some how I new what I needed to say.

Sam:"Gleipnir!"Back to Main Page
