Kreaturen Chaper 1- The Mark
Born 2005, M, from San Diego/California, United StatesChapter 1- The Mark
"You!" a stranger point at me, in a whispering sort of way.
I point to myself, cocking my head in question.
Me?
The stranger approaches me hesitantly, fearfully, almost.
"You don't know what that is, do you?" he's pointing to my wrist. I know what's there. I saw it this morning when I was getting ready. It had just appeared. I tried washing it with water and soap; it doesn't work. It was red at first, but then it turned black. The mark looked like a bracelet around my wrist.
"Um, no," I reply shortly. I move away from the strange man as quickly as I can.
"Wait!' Something in his voice freezes me. Was it concern? Fear? Something darker; more sinister?
"You bear the mark," he whispered, but I could hear him. "They come for you. Run!"
Tingles shoot down my spine. Who the heck was this creep, and who was he to tell me what to do?
"What does- what does the mark-" "Have to do with anything? I asked.
"Run!" He yelled. "Run as fast as you can! They will come for you!"
I ignored him and walked back home in confusion. The weird look he gave me was just so very awkward.
Upon reaching home, (just as I thought), I had to convince Mom that the mark on my hand was not a tattoo, and believe me, it's not easy to convince that lady.
"Oh God, Ethan! Is that a tattoo?" she said.
I tried rewashing it, watched some videos on YouTube, but nothing worked. Now I think it's no use to worry about it.
Before going to sleep today, I noticed the strange mark, and to my surprise, it glowed and gave a dim blue light, piercing to the eyes. Now, I was starting to worry about this strange thing,' What is this peculiar mark?',' How did it come upon my wrist?',' Who was that stranger on the road?', And the worst of all,' Why was he telling me to run?'
Struggling with these questions, sleep gripped me, and I drifted into my dreams.
