NEPHILIM'S WAR: THE MARVELOUS ONE

THE BEGINNING

ONE

New York, 8am.

‘Jason’  no answer came from Jayson.

‘Jayson’ still no reply. ‘Come on you’ve slept in for almost an hour, you’re gonna be late for school’ Carly said as she hit him. He groaned, ‘five more minutes’. ‘You’re gonna miss the bus’ Carly said as she hit him with pillows.

Getting up from under the covers, Jay stretched and yawned  showing his perfectly white teeth, as he looked at the mirror showing his low fade haircut and amber colored eyes, he looked down at his little sister who was staring back at him, he giggled a little. Jayson was only sixteen years old but he knew how to take care of Carly.

   ‘Go eat your breakfast, tell mum I’ll be down in a minute’ Carly nodded and ran out of the room. Jayson sighed and fell backwards onto his bed, he finally got the energy to stand up, walking downstairs in his star wars shirts and PJ pants .

‘Jay there you are, I thought I told you that breakfast was at seven sharp’ a loud voice spoke up as Jay turned to see who it was. It was his aunt Sharla. ‘Aunty I totally forgot you moved in last night, where is mum? Jay asked.

‘You totally missed her; she said I should help out with your school transfer papers’. Sighing aunt Sharla went over to the Kitchen.

   ‘I think my alarm is broken’  Jay said as he grabbed a chair. ‘Well  I’m not making you anything extra, you just have to contend with the left-overs. Jay understood seeing how angry she was, he wouldn’t blame her after being dumped by her highway motorcycle boyfriend Jack  Bans, what a jerk, she really took the break up really hard but it still sucked he sighed as he grabbed a plate, he noticed the pieces of bacon were too well done.

 ‘What are you doing staring at those plates? Go grab a shower, you’re late, I got places to be’ aunt Sharla said frustratingly. After breakfast Jay entered the shower, there was no hot water because the plumbing of the shower was broken so he had to contend with the cold, the water streaming over his blond hair reminded him of something he could not piece together because it came in flashes. The pound at the bathroom door snapped Jay out of his daydream. ‘Hurry up Jay’ aunt Sharla screamed. ‘I’ll be out in a minute’ Jay replied as he turned off the shower, he quickly dashed into his room, put on a change of clothes and was at the door, the bus arrived and he leapt in.

Kingsdale High School was a small school in the heart of Queens New york, all the cool kids went there, they had the best football team and the girls were awesome, arriving at the school gates the ‘Welcome to Kingsdale ‘ banner danced with the breeze as it swayed from side to side, it was a new semester and everyone seemed to be in high spirits. Passing through the central isle he saw different groups handing out flyers, the sign up dashboard was filled with sign up papers. Walking into the sophomore class he was accosted by a lanky looking man on grey pants wearing a bow tie.

‘You must be Jay Garrick Sanders’ , come on in, don’t just stand there. Jay walked into the class and made his way to the front of the class, ‘Gosh, all those eyeballs’ he thought to himself. Mr. Louis introduced Jay to the class as the new transfer student, his Italian accent made Jay’s name sound funny. Jay took a seat next to a kid named Ed  Grover. Religious history was next on the period, Dante’s Inferno was the topic for discussion ,as the discussion progressed Jay felt left out because everyone here knew themselves, so he picked up his headsets and started listening to music, Jay was startled as the question came.

‘Jay could you help us with the history of the book of giants according to Dante, If you are so occupied with your head gear I believe you don’t need this lesson’  It felt cold and weird, his class mates stared at him.

‘Sir, I just got here’ Jay answered feeling very uncomfortable. ‘Yeah I know you just got here, feel free to tell us anything Jay’.

‘The divine decrees were warnings of doom which is tied to the ancient prophet Enoch, closer to his generally recognized story line as Dante discovers that the Enoich traditions dates back to the fallen at the time of the Qumran, before the second text of creation’  . Jay was cut short by Mr. Louis ‘That’s very good Jay I’m impressed , how did you know all of this, your records doesn’t say you’re the religious type, I guess you’re full of surprises Mr. Jay. The bell went off as the students shuffled their legs and grabbed their bags, the lessons were over.

Jay walked down the central isle, he clutched his bag and was about making his way through the exit when he heard his name. ‘Hey dude wait up’  Jay turned to see who had called him, a lanky looking guy with a taper fade hair cut with blue eyes wearing a black leather jacket on rip jeans was walking up to meet him. Jay recognized him, it was the dude he had sat next to during the lesson period. ‘Hey dude that was awesome back in class, I’m Edward Grover, my friends call me Ed, I was wondering if you would like to hang out with some of the guys in class, well a few of us are meeting up at Billy’s place, everyone is gonna be there it would be cool ‘ . ‘Yeah man sure thing, what time? ‘  8pm just down the street close to the repair shop’. As Jay headed  home he passed a hot dog stand, the aroma from the grill made him hungry, he didn’t have much cash on him as he took a bus home.

It was party time, after much deliberation his mum let him go with a time frame of an hour, walking down the street, he saw something odd  it was a group of people about his age, two guys and two girls, one of the guys was chinese and had this strange tattoos on his neck, the other girl who looked like an African American had a coiled tattoo on her right arm that extended to her face, it looked similar to the one on the chinese boy, the other boy had curly white hair and grey colored eyes, the girl at the front looked Jay’s age from her demeanor she appeared to be the leader of the weird band, she had long jet black hair with green eyes. Their appearance made him slow his steps as he stared at them, another odd thing was that they all wore long black coats this made them look like rejects from the matrix, he continued on his path. The weird looking group seemed to be coming his way, the girl in front bumped into him, pushing him back slightly.

‘Hey watch where you’re going’  Jay said with a frown. The girl suddenly turned and looking back at Jay, she stared at him. ‘You can see me’ the girl asked quite shocked. Jay stared at her like she looked crazy, ‘Of course you all are dressed like you’re going to some comic con party. Standing in the middle of the street, the girl seemed shocked about something, the boy with the curly white hair shouted to her, ‘Mia, let’s go’ . ‘Mia, so that’s her name ‘ Jay thought to himself. Mia gave Jay a cold glare and joined her group. Jay thought to himself ‘looney new yorkers’ as he continued on his way to the party. He arrived at the party, he met Ed who introduced him to some guys in the party, some of their faces looked familiar, he recognized they were his classmates. ‘Why don’t you go grab some drinks, and I’ll introduce you to the ladies’Ed said with a menacing wink, after a few drinks and partying Jay headed home. By the alley bend Jay saw the weird group again just behind New york public library, he walked towards the alley hiding behind a dumpster, he peeked from behind the dumpster to check out what the weirdos were up to, and what he saw sent shivers down his spine as it seemed to be some sort of rituals, the chinese  boy cut himself with a dagger as blood spilled from his hand in drops, he used it to draw a strange symbol , he could hear the African American girl conversing with the white haired boy. ‘Jake can we draw this thing out’ the girl seemed apprehensive. ‘Esme it’s a blood siegel it’s gonna work’ Jake replied. As Ren walked out of the circle, he went next to the African American girl. ‘Ready Esme’ said Ren.  Esme gave a nod and the duo started chanting in a strange language. Jake walks up to Mia, ‘Ready mate’ he sounded british. ‘ Stop goofing around Jake’ Mia replied, as Jake changed his accent. As Ren and Esme continued the chant the wind in the alley way began to pick up even though there hadn’t been any a few minutes ago. The wind suddenly stops, Jay could hear a growling noise behind him. ‘It’s here prepare yourselves’ Mia said as she draws out two blades from thin air. Jay freezes, what just happened.
