• CHAPTER TWO


    On instinct I go up to the hound and get him off of Leah. Strange thing was I barely touched the thing when it squeled and jumped back. "Yyyyoooo arrrreee ttthhheee ooonnneee." it said frightened. "YYYoooouuuu hhhaaavveenen't seennn tthhee llaasstt offf uuusss." it said before the hounds ran away. I look at Leah. "What was that?!" I ask her suprised. "I don't know, I have a feeling I've seen them before." she replies scared.



    Whatever that thing reminded her of, it wasn't a happy thought. "Well, I'm interested in why that thing called me "the one"." I said. "Let's see if we can catch up with it." I run in the direction of where the hounds went when I bumped more like crashed into someone. "Sorry, sorry." I apoligized. "It's fine." he replies witha gentle voice. He seemed to be around my age. He had long black hair which he tied to a ponytail. He was about 6 ft maybe and had pale eyes.



    He was staring at me funny when out of nowhere I knocked out with who knows what. I wake up and find myself in a basement with my hands tied around my back. I look around and see Leah in the same situation as I am except she looked extremely frighten. She was muttering something like "No, no, not here again." "Well well I had no idea I'd run into the runaway killing machine and "the one" " an unknown voice said from behind me. I expected to find the guy we just met but it wasn't. This guy had fierce eyes and was kinda short. He looked about 5' 2 and had gray hair.



    "What are you talking about?!" I yelled. Before he could reply the wall bursted into pieces. There was a huge hole now and someone came out through it. It was the guy I saw earlier. "Let them go." he said coldly. "Oh? I also find the traitor too? My my this a lucky day for me." he says withan evil grin. He reaches in his pocket to grab something but he never got a chance. The guy did something with his hands and the man gets blown away. "Now's our chance, lets get out of here." the ponytail dude mutters untieing me and Leah.



    We go through the hole and back outside. "Who are yo---" I start to ask but gets inturrupted. "No time for questions, hop on." he says quickly as we reach his car. For some reason without hesitation I get in. "C'mon Leah." I say to her already growing attached to the young girl. "Ok mister." she grins. Now I know she's teasing me by calling me "mister". As soon as Leah closed the door to the car the guy stepped on the petal and went like 80 miles per hour. "Whoa, slow down." I say to him. "No time" he mutters quickly. "We have to get to my house before he brings renforcements." he adds.



    When we finally got to his house or whats suppose to be a house he didn't even give us a chance to walk in, he grabs us and pushes us in. He locks the door and breathes in a sigh of relief. "Ok, now we're safe, they can't find us here." he says to us. "Sorry if it looks like a beaten down shack." he adds sheepishly. "Nah, it's good, you have a roof and a bed thats all you need." I reply. "Will you tell us your name and everything you know?" I ask. He looks hesitant at first but sighs. "Alright, it all started with the creation of nanomachines....."
