Prologue

Chapter 1: The Story Before

It had been a simple task, leave this dimension. I couldn't wait to get out of here... especially after all that I had done.

The past was always a bad topic for me, but I always looked back and tried to remember the good things and not the red stains on the paper. My family died when I was young and I didn't know much about them other then their personalities. They were always happy people. They never wanted anyone to be sad no matter how bad the situation had seemed. I had to be taken under my uncles. They were cruel men and most of them aren't around anymore thanks to me. At merely four I could use small sorts of magic. This made me even more of a target for my uncles and their nasty ways. They tried to make money off of me by trying to force me to do things that I couldn't. After there first three times of failing one tried to hurt me, he ended up at the bottom of a nearby river. At this point I was 6 and able to do most sorts of magic, when I needed to. If I was forced to or didn't need to it wouldn't even appear as if I was normal thankfully. The rest of my life I spent running around America keeping from my uncles and slowly practicing my magic to try and control it better. After the first few encounter I made up my mind. If I ever wanted a safe home and friends, it wouldn't be here that was a fact. They would find me no matter were I went. They hurt countless people... I could have stopped them. After a while only 3 of them remained. The wisest of them all. Still I couldn't even hurt them like they were invincible. I stayed on the run until one day I came across a book called "Across Dimensions" the book contained a spell that would take you to a random world, but it would take 3 days to prepare the spell. The next day I made sure that I wasn't being followed and I went to the small basement of an abandoned house (not the smartest idea, I know). After I drew the circle and got repaired for the beginning of the ritual I heard someone's voice speak quietly "Hello is anyone there?" I quickly hid behind the door and waited. I could tell this person was more scared of the house them me. So I made small noises and little creeks following the person VERY heavy breathing. After they came downstairs and saw the chalk they ran out as fast as possible. Like most people them probably though this was satanic and some retrospect. After I promptly heard the door slammed hard enough to wake the dead I continued to make my circle. After finishing I had to get more together. This wasn't a quick spell and I had to be careful of what I did around here. After the first day the second one consisted of me having to get together ingredience like blue tonic and blood. Though I was able to supply most it needed something I didn't have, a gemstone of called "Amethyst" which would be hard to get for a thirteen year old boy pretending to not exist. So slowly I made my way though the town I was in. The problem was that I needed money. The only thing I had kept on me at all times was food rations, water, and a small pistol which a full clip in it. I walked into a small grocery store and saw a small lady at the counter who look quite young to be working... well I was trying to get a job so lets hope this store doesn't mind my age. I hastily made my way to the girl at the counter and asked her "could I speak to your manager?" to which she said in a shy tone "sure let me call her quickly" after hearing that single statement I knew who this was. She had entered the house nearly a day ago. I had to stay calm though. I was trying to get a job the last thing I would need to get flustered over the fact that this girl had invaded "my house" a while ago. After she put down the phone she told me to go to a small room away from the main shopping area and wait. After a small amount of time an old lady looking to be in her 80's walked in and told me she was the manager and owner of the store. "I came to ask about getting a job. I need some money for some supplies for... school." She looked at me weirdly and said "well your a bit young for a job but I can let you do some small work around the store for some money if you want to" I quickly nodded and she handed me a broom and commented that the store hadn't been swept in a while. So I got to work. At the end of the day I still didn't have enough for the amethyst I was about 10 dollars short. So I was about to walk out the store when the girl from before asked me "why do you look so sad?" I turned around to see that she look about my age maybe a little older. I told her with the best sad tone I could muster "I need 10 more dollars to help repair my house. My parents have been sickly lately and the roof has been leaking." To which she replied with the first ever compaction I ever heard any person speak "oh wow, that sound so sad. Here you can have this. I only wanted it so I would have some extra money but it sounds like you need it more." I saw a 20 dollar bill in her hands. I slowly grabbed it and said "thank you so much. Now hopefully my parents will fell better" She looked and gave me a genuine smile and a "no problem" and then she asked "where do you live?" I shuttered a little and quickly commented "A bit far away from her but I have to go shopping any was first ..." she interjected and quickly said "I'll come with you!" and before I knew it I was being dragged against my will around town. This was NOT what I needed. As I felt her grip faultier I quickly and hardily ducked into cover thinking she would let go but instead nearly made her go face first into a lump of garbage. She gave me a small glare and quickly said "What was that for?!" I said that I would take her to what shop I needed to go but I needed to get her attention since she had ignored my please for singularity for the past hour. She sighed a little and said "fine lets go" and I had the best idea come to mind... but I hoped she wouldn't take it the

Wrong way.

Well sorry if this is a bit short and may not be the best, this is my first time writing like this... ever. So leave comments bad or not all help is appresiated
