Scratch

Hey I have wrote this book and I thought I did a pretty good job. I have already finished the whole thing. All 150 pages of it and I have started book two.
Its called King of Rebels

Prolouge


In a world far from earth, a boy cries for help. He screams for the help of long awaited Savior, for protection of his family and the nation that he lived on.    
One of the little happiness’ was the hope for a savior of the people. The legends that his grandfather had told him talked about a courageous man, The Savior, who would defeat the evil Cobrajia. That is whom he cried out to. His grandfather had promised the boy that the legends were not false, that they were true. But how could it be true? Where was the evidence?

Before The Destroyer had started to destroy the world, before his cries for help, life was priceless and wonderful. Now it was terrifying and you had to be cautious wherever you go.   

Noise outside. Suddenly the boy felt warm. Strange. Just a minute ago if was cool outside. Then the boy heard cries that were outside. He heard his father crying and screaming for mercy. What was going on? He walked out of his room and looked up at the sky. A cloaked figure was riding a huge flying creature. The creature had gold scales and five heads. It had red beady eyes like a rats. Its wings had to be at least two hundred feet wingspan.
The boy said one more thing before the creature spewed out his fiery breath and the chaos began.
“Please send a savior soon!”

CHAPTER ONE
The Caller
                                                       


The rain is pouring in a dark city. As Koa Buckley (call him Buck) was riding the express, some kind of argument was going.

Then there were loud bangs! Guns. The people on the express were very aware of what was going on now. Most started to scream and head to the front of the express.

I should do something, Thought Buck. But a voice in his mind said that he could do no such thing.   
Buck was a tall and skinny thirteen year old, and had freckles on his face; he had hazel green eyes and brown hair. He didn’t have many friends and was lonely.

Today was actually warm and bright in Elko, Nevada. What Buck did inside is what you are doing right now. Reading. Reading was all he did, everyday and every minute (except meal times and school). One time Buck had even forgotten about lunch and kept on reading. You could never know what book he was reading at the moment because he finished them so fast. 
   
    But now was not a time for reading, something serious was going on. The men who were arguing had stopped and now the taller man was pointing a gun at everyone else while the other man watched to make sure no one moved.
    “Now no one move. But when we call you, you come up and pull out all your money, jewelry and credit cards. No funny stuff. When you do that, ya’ll will be safe,” Said the more muscular man.
    One by one everyone walked over to the men, clearly frightened, and pulled out all their possessions.
    “You there, your next,” Said the tall man to Buck as he pointed to him.
    Buck was astonished when they pointed to him because he did not have that much money at present.
    “Uh, mister, I think you are mistaken. I don’t have that much money. I’m only-,”
    “I doesn’t care how old you are! Come on Harry, this boy probably has somethin’ on him,” Said the tall man to the muscular man named, Harry.
    They started to search Buck when he got an idea. He quickly gave Harry a kick in the shin and quickly punched the taller guy in the belly. They both fell to the ground, mostly surprised that someone would do that to them at a time like this.
    Then suddenly Harry called out as he started to get to his feet:
    “Al! Get ready to get rid of this express!”
   
Buck had to get away from these guys or it was bad news for Buck. So he ran from them and headed for the driver, to inform him on the insanity that was going on in the passenger car.
    He opened the door from the passengers’ car to the driver’s car.
    Then he remembered something, as the sounds of the train tracks grew louder. The only thing that was connecting the passengers’ car and the driver’s car was the two huge hooks outside the two cars. And Buck had to get across them!
    Steadily he stepped on the hook and jumped toward the other car. He got to the other side, but started to slip!
    In the nick of time he gabbed the doorknob, pulled himself back up and opened the door.
    Buck gasped. A man was laying on the floor unconscious!
    Suddenly a man came to the door and pulled Buck in and shut the door behind him. Next he pulled a gun on Buck.
    “Whatcha doin’ here… speak up!” said the man harshly   
    “I came here to tell you that two guys are holding up everyone and making them give their money to those guys,”
    “Kid, I with them,” The man let out a hideous laugh.
    “Al! You- you mean that that man on the gr- ground is the real driver?”
    “That’s right kid. And I am about to wreck this big thing with you in it,”
    Even though Buck was frightened he acted smartly and fast.
    He knocked the gun out the guys hand ran back to the passengers’ car. This time he quickly jumped across the hook and made it to the other side.
    Buck saw that Harry and the other guy were trying to escape through the top of the car.
    Suddenly the express car started to tip. Everybody fell to the floor, even the bad guys.
    “Al! We are not out yet!” Said the taller guy
    Then a voice came over on the speaker,
    “Okay Cyrus. If you don’t like my drivin’ why don’t you come and drive fur yerself,” The voice was Al’s.
    Then they started an argument all over again.
    Buck didn’t waist any time on tackling the two guys. But then the express tipped, and this time all the way!
    Fortunately the express cars fell upright. But it was a hard landing. Everyone was clearly shaken.
    In the distance there were sirens.
    The Police!

    After the thieves were driven away to jail, Buck started to walk the rest of the way home.
As Buck walked past a telephone booth it rung. Strange. Buck walked slowly over to the telephone booth and checked the number. 770-485-2196.
Buck was surprised that the person on the other line was his father.
(Buck’s dad did not care for anyone except himself. His father was always away on business trips. But he still had a mother that loved him, if you could even call it that. Now sometimes she was very caring, but usually she was mean and rotten.)

“Is mom home?” Said Bucks father.
“No she is at that club she goes to,” Said Buck
Bucks father said something off the line.
“What did you say, dad?”
“Nothing. Any way tell your mom to call me tonight,”
“Good-b-,”
Beep! Bucks father had hung up.

Did Bucks father love his own son? Did he even care? It was just Buck’s mom and he. They were all alone in the world.
So now Buck started down the sidewalk. But he didn’t walk very long until the phone rang again.
Buck answered.
“Go get your mother,”
Beep!
“Hello… Hello?” Said Buck
The Caller had hung up.

CHAPTER TWO
The Unwanted Visitor



Buck walked home confused. How could this be happening? And why to him? He seemed to be the oddest person for somebody to rob.
When he got home he threw his backpack on the couch and headed over to his Mac. That was another thing he liked to do.
He knew 6 languages, Computer ones of course.
But just as he started to type, a beep sounded on his computer. Buck opened up his email to see he had received a new email from qwertyhell@hotmail.com.
Hmm, who is that?[i] Buck wondered. He slowly rested his finger on the mouse to click ‘Open’.
A simple unformatted email appeared. Here is what it read:

[i]Dear Koa,
I have recently been informed of your little ‘incident’ today. I am very impressed
Of your skills in such…combat.
And I am interested in you. Meet me tomorrow at the big ‘Wall of Words’ wall in your
School. If you know whats good for you you will be waiting a 3:00pm sharp.


Buck sat there. Who was this? The door opened.
“Who’s there?” Buck looked in fright.
“It’s just me, Buck. Don’t worry.” His mom said as she walked in with the groceries.   
Buck sighed with relief. This was going to be nerve wrecking.

But he would see what this was all about. He would be strong, maybe.


The next morning, Buck woke up and got dressed. Then he went down and had his daily dose of Frosted Flakes, Orange Juice, and Vitamin C.

Just as he walked out the door, he grabbed his MacBook. “I may need this,” And he walked to school.

School was just another obstacle to get through. Bullies seemed to run the place, here at Elko Middle School.
Buck was usually a pretty good student. But today he couldn’t concentrate. With the mysterious Caller and the mysterious email, he was practically in another world.
As the days end drew closer, Buck’s spine froze. He was about to face a serious darkness. And he would have to stop it becoming part of him.

CHAPTER THREE
The Hideout



RING!
School was out and the rest of the day they were free to do anything. At least that was the case for everyone else. For Buck, it was the beginning of a scary journey to uncovering thee secret of to mysteries. He would rather have preferred reading about this rather than it actually happening to him. Although once in a while when he was alone, he would always imagine what it would be like to be the character in the book.
He would have to be strong and courageous. He would get the girl and defeat the villain. But there was one thing wrong with all of these people. They weren’t real. Some author had written them up one day, so that they would do his bidding.
They wouldn’t really save a princess or defeat a dragon.

This was real life. The way of hard times was normal in Bucks life.
He slowly trudged over to the place that his school called ‘The Wall Of Words’. It was meant to be a place to put up announcements and such.

When Buck arrived at his destination, he was surprised to see that no one was there. So Buck sat there, waiting. And he waited.
After about five minutes he stood back up and started to walk off.
This was a prank that Eddy B. pulled, Thought Buck about their evil bully.

Suddenly a arm gripped Buck by the shoulder and twisted him around rapidly.
“Hello Koa. I have been waiting. As you have arrived, we must move on. We must not be late for our… meeting.” A dark figure said. The man wore a thick coat that fell down to his knees. He was dressed in a suit and was wearing a black hat with a red rim that spun around it.
“Where are we going?” Buck asked as he freed from the mans firm grip.
“To the warehouse.” Was all that the man said as he walked off.
From all of Bucks curiosity, he followed.

They were met by a black Ford Mustang GT, which was driven by a man in dark sunglasses.
“Get in.” Said the man with his deep Russian accent.
Buck didn’t hesitate to get in.


When they arrived at a warehouse complex it started to rain.
Perfect, thought Buck.
When the got out in the rain, they were accompanied by five men in black suits.
“Is that him?” one of the men said.
“Yes, this is the boy.”
Buck thought it creepy when the man said the words: the boy.
“Good. The Boss will be happy.”
Then one of the men came over to him. And covered his eyes with a bandana. Now Buck was really scared.

I hope you liked that! I'll add on later.
