Brian Henderson placed his left hand on The Secret Book of Aliens (The Religious text of the Hitons) and said these words while also holding up his other hand: “I, Brian Henderson, swear to uphold all laws required by the office of Bloodbringer (ten year president) and also, to follow the bylaws of the constitution of the United States of Jasper. So help me, Kursta.” He smiled as he looked at the cameras “These past years we’ve been tortured by the Cithians and their disgraceful leader, Kodyack Blues, my Predecessor of this office. For too long they have destroyed our cities with their powers, taken our food with our Hawkheads. He held up a see- through coin with a hawk’s head on one side and a claw on the other as the citizens of Jasper applauded and cheered graciously. He cleared his throat as he resumed his speech. “They also infiltrated our ranks of 1,000 people per each rank and killed a great many of our people. Kodyack says that only the Cithians who are poor and possessed
Deep beneath the Gailems Castle lies Truman Prison. All sorts of people go there. Including: the people who are severely disabled people, people who are at league with Bloodshed, people who had killed people during their malfunction, and people who have been possessed by the servants of the devil because of faulty power rings in their wrists. Some say it is the most horrid place to go. Only some people say that because the only people who know what it's like are the people who have been there because the Sayis Council does their best to keep what happens in the prison a secret. Every day, the prison guards collect three pints of blood from the inmates to give to Blood Banks. This is their punishment for breaking the law and they are forced to contribute their blood to those who need it. Only the people who have been arrested multiple times will have this punishment. With punishments like this, you’d think people would think twice about being evil. *** Most pe
My brother Michael placed his hand on the Secret Book of Aliens and raised the other. “I, Michael Crop, swear to uphold the duties and laws required by the office of Blood bringer. I also swear to defend the Constitution and all its prospects. So help me, Kursta.” Richard Markson took the book away from him as Michael looked out towards the crowd and the cameras. “As I look out amongst you all, I see many people that are confused as to why I was elected president by the Rich people of this country. I promised to extinguish the Ranking system once and for all, to make golden Hawkhead coins made by my people...” I saw a bullet fly over the crowd towards Michael. He ducked as it flew over his head and the Rakia (or the Hiton version of the Secret Service) grabbed him and rushed away from the scene of the crime. The Police and ambulances arrived at the scene fifteen minutes later. Their sirens were so loud that it made my ears go numb. I started fidgeting as tears streamed down my
We teleported into an office. Dylan sat down in his computer chair and opened a desk drawer and handed each of us a package as he looked at all of us. “Inside of these, you’ll find your new identities.” We opened them. “As you see, Skyrid, your new name is Sorrow Rains. Alex, yours is Casper Rains. Delia (my mom), yours’ is Mary Rains. Crystal, your new name is Madison Rains. Mitchell, your new name is Derek Rains. And finally, Thomas yours is Paul Rains.” Sheriff Snyder got up and led us to a makeup room. “Evan, come meet the new family we’ve been assigned to protect.” A Man with round eyeglasses, designer jeans and a red polo shirt approached us. “Hey Evan, My name is Skyrid.” “No need to introduce yourself. We have files on each of you. Skyrid, it's no secret that you're the new Gator Sayis. Alex, I love your new album: The Fame’s Like That. Delia, you’re the editor for The Daily Lionett. Crystal, you're the esteemed Winter Warrior that was kidnapped by Nancy. And fin
We appeared in front of the Gailems castle. King Hayes knocked on the castle doors. They swung open as I saw Natasha standing in the doorway. She bowed as she looked into Brandon’s eyes. “King Hayes, long time no see. I am pleased to see you again.” “Wait a second, you two know each other?” I said as Brandon (or King Hayes as I’ve told y’all before) looked at me. “Yes. She’s my ex-wife.” King Brandon Hayes said to Skyrid. Natasha rolled her eyes. “You just had to bring that up, didn't you?” “Does it really matter that much?” “No. What matters is that you brought a bunch of strangers to Gailems! I mean, it’s already bad enough we have the Vice President breathing down our backs!” “They aren’t strangers. They’re the Crop Family. And, what do you mean you have the V.P. (this would be a nice place to put the name of the VP) breathing down your backs?” “I’ll answer your question if you answer mine. “ “Which is...” “You don't really expect me to believe that these people are r
Shais led us to a pedestal with a gray orb carved into it. He touched it and in an instant we appeared in our dormitory. Shais touched the pedestal in the center of it and disappeared from sight. Parser tapped me on the shoulder. I looked him in the eyes. “How are you holding up?” “What do you mean?” “You know, with the news of Michael’s attempted murder? “ Tears started to form in my eyes. “I just don't understand.” “Don't understand what?” Tears dripped from my eyes as I sniffle. “How something like that could happen to him. I mean... he is such a good brother and more importantly, he’s very loyal. Plus, he treated everyone he knows with kindness.” Anna walked up to us. “What are you two talking about?” “Nothing.” We both answered in unison. “Really?” She looked at me. “Then, why are you crying, Skyrid?” “Parser mentioned my brother.” Anna rolled her eyes at Parser as her cheeks went bright red. “Parser, how could you! He just witnessed an attempted murd
The next morning, we all were woken up by Shais and Drakia. We all gathered around the pedestal with a golden orb carved into it in the middle of the living room. All of us touched it and in an instant, we appeared in the Halls of Battle. Pedro stood in the center of us. “This year we are doing things a little bit differently. Although, you will still be fighting to see which of the four classes you’ll be in, this time you will be fighting in pairs for the first round and the remaining pair will fight of head to head and the last one standing will be put in the appropriate class according to the strength of their powers. But, the loser will stay in their previous class.” Fader stood in the center of the balcony above us. “The first two pairs to face off are: Skyrid Crop and Parser Jerricus versus Caitlyn Jerricus and Anna Fox. Also, one more thing, all injected that win will not only pass onto the next classification of their individual powers but will also receive their very own
I appeared in front of a black and white striped building. I walked inside it. I met an African American woman. Her name tag said “Shari.” “Hello.” She said “Hi. I'm here to see Sedge.” I said. “And who just might you be?” “I'm Skyrid Crop, the Gator Sayis.” “Right. I’ll page him.” Five minutes later, a white boy walked up to me. “Skyrid?” “Yes?” “It's really you? Tell me, are you really a Sayis now?” “Yep, it is me and yes, I am a Sayis now.” “Alright then, let’s go to my office.” I followed Sedge to his office. We both sat down. I looked at him. I saw that expression on his face before. He was worried. “Alright, out with it! Why are you here?!” “Pedro wants to know where you think Furliceo might be headed. “ “All I know is that he is after something called the Possessor’s Circle. “ “What's that?” “According to legend, if you're possessed, you're supposed to throw it on the ground and when it enlarges, you have to jump inside it. Then, the demon who possessed yo
