Prologue: The vow

Narrator

It was almost midnight. It was thundering and lightning outside. Old man Maxwell was sitting in his office on the highest floor of his mansion. Deep in his toughts, he did not notice that trough big balcony doors someone was approaching. 

"Good evening."  said the dark figure.

As Maxwell focused to the voice he heard, he saw a young man, dressed all in black.

"Finally we meet." he said again, his voice full of hate.

"How did you get in? " asked Maxwell confused. He personally made sure the whole property was safe. 

"Don't worry 'bout that. What matters is that you will finally meet your end."

After observing him for a moment he said : " You won't do it." , and that made the young man angry. 

" You don't have it in you. I can say by only looking at you." he said again, smug. 

The young man jumped at Maxwell, pinning him to the shelves, making the books fall down.

" What did you say! Say it again!" he growled.

Then, some silent beeping sound took their attention. The monitor on the desk showed some masked men getting in trough some back door. Maxwell immediately recognized one of them beeing his right hand, his partner for thirty years.

" That son of ... I knew It! I krew it is him!"  Maxwell said angry and upset. His breathing became heavy and he started to shake. He grabed the young man for his hands, still hanging on his shirt.

"You've got to help me! You've got to save her! She can't stay here! " his panicked eyes went from the guy to the pictures of him with a young beautiful blonde girl.

"Get her! You've got to take her away ..." he said struggling. He was about to say something more his words stuck in his throat. He groaned, holding himself on his chest. At last he fell with his face stiff.

"Father? Fath.." a girl got on the doorway, looking in shock. "DAD!" she squealed, running to where he lied on the floor. 

The young man just stand there in shock. He could't believe what just happened. With Maxwell's words echoing in his head and the intruders with every second beeing closer, he had no time to think. After a little hesistation, he grabs the girl and despite her scrambling he quickly overcomes her and they fade away into the night.
