So, I'm thinking

Friday's will probably be the 'post a new chapter' day of the week. At least then, I'm on a schedule of writing, and it's something I can keep up with and something that's stable for me.

I mean, I love writing, but I can never find the time to write anything down....

So, here you are:...


Chapter 1

The group of people in front of me had not said another word.
“Where are my friends?” I asked.
“Do not worry, they got back to Ovid safely. It’s just you that got here.” One of the group replied. After I’d been left standing there gawping at the news that they’d just given me, the group went off and did their own thing, only one stayed behind to make sure nothing happened to me.
“So, why am I here?” I asked.
“Because you know where the Tome is.” He replied monotonously.
“Look man, I told Nicholas this, and I’ll tell you this, I have no idea where it is. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” I replied, anger slipping into my voice. One thing just went to another. I never got a chance to relax.
“Trust me, you’ll find it in yourself to remember soon enough.” He replied.
“And how do you figure that?”
He didn’t answer. He turned on the TV.
“No news has yet to be given about the whereabouts of Danny Istari or Danny Smith. Though both families are grateful for the return of their children.” A news reporter said. I looked up at the TV. There they were. Hayley and Jesse being held by their crying parents.
“No serious injuries have been found on either of the two teens. Which leads us to question why did Danny Smith and Danny Istari get such fatal treatment. More information will come your way as we receive it.” The news reporter finished and the TV channel was turned over.
“Happy now that you know you’re friends are okay?” He asked snidely.
“I guess so. When do I get to go home?”
“Soon.” He replied. What’s with all this damn vagueness? I hate it all.



“Why am I here?” I aksed the leader of the group. “And I don’t want some vague crap answer.”
“We have been ordered to protect you. From the magicians.”
“You do realise that I’m one of them too, right?” I asked, staring at him suspiciously. He wasn’t telling me something. Well, he wasn’t telling me a lot.
“Yes, we know who you are. We’ve been aware of your escapades as Istari and human.” He said to me, but he didn’t look at me as he said it.
“So, why are you trying to protect me from the magicians?”
“Because you’re not after the Tome.”
He left quickly after that.



I have to get out of here.
“Danny Istari. We need you for something.” One of the many members of the Resistance said to me. I didn’t even bother attempting to get their names. They all look the same to me.
“What do you need me for?” I asked, walking into the room that I’d been directed to cautiously.
“What we need you for Danny Istari is a mission of utmost importance.” The leader said, looking at me with seriousness in his eyes.

Hope you enjoyed. This one was slightly longer than the prologue. I'm basically trying to do the same as last time, where the chapters got longer as the story goes on...

Anyway.

Got a team building day tomorrow for Greggs. Should be fun...

Night!
