CHAPTER ONE
0400 HOURS, MARCH 17, 3456 (EARTH CALENDER)
PLANET MOR
PRISON 5454
EMPIRE OF WHEN
The vents above the prison held the nightmare of humanity. The Bloodsuckerz a race of savages, of monsters that have been terrorizing the people of Mor since the great divide. The collective of now; blamed the empire of When and vise versa. They come only at night moving in the shadows. Using a complex language of barks, hisses and strange yelps. They move in unison to attack their prey. The name Bloodsucker was created cause of their diet which seemed to be based entirely of blood and nothing but blood.
a bloodsucker lurks above the prison cell of Tom Thorn. A mysterious man with long purple hair, which matched his white slightly freckled face. Although he looked young his eyes told a different story. Wearing the clothes of a mystic, a ancient order of super powerful humans said to have control over the physical world and a strong bond to the other. They were spouse to be just a legend, but Whoever he was, he seemed pretty oblivious to the horror above him.
The horror had a mouth that was open its small teeth were white and sharp. It’s large eyes staring at the sleeping man. Seeing this as it’s chance it began to transform. One of the bloodsucker’s abnormal abilities is to change its physical body into a sort of liquid. The bloodsucker uses this as a strategy of stealth. Using this ability the bloodsucker slips through the vent opening like a metallic sludge. Dripping down the cell’s stone walls slowly.
By the luck of the gods the sun breaks through the window on the far end of the cell. The black sludge pieces that fell to floor burn up at the touch of the sun’s rays. The light penetrates the room engulfing it in it’s warm glow. The bloodsucker retreats fast, back into the safety of the shadows where it waits. But not for long the sun always goes down. Even a blood sucker knows this hungry and alone it will wait in the darkness of the prison vents above the cell of the sleeping man.
The light spills into Tom Thorn’s eyes. He opens them but Everything around is in a hazy fog he touches his face and waves his hand over his eyes. He stands and stumbles forward falling against the the iron bars of his cell. He remembered then where he was but now wished to stay blind to return to the peace of not knowing. The sight soon returned cause like all wishes this one too would not come true. In a minute or two Tom could see again the colors returned the shapes as well. His memories of who he was returned like a runaway train
Tom ’s physical body wasn’t so lucky, he stood and surveyed his surroundings. The cell he found himself in was about the size of a walk in closet. He went up to the iron bars shacking them in place but they didn’t give. He was trapped good, A second later Tom felt his socks becoming wet looking down he sees a pool of blood encircling his feet, the trail was running down the hallway. He follows the trail it leads to a dead prison guard. Something else catches Tom ’s eyes above the guards head was a key pad.
Tom knew in his heart he had the power to get out. This power was in him somewhere and if he could just find it he could do anything. He walked back to where he was laying and without knowing why crossed his legs and sat down on the dirty mat. He started to breath in and out following his breath. With his third eye he began to see shapes and colors. The colors and shapes appeared to forming a object, Tom then started realized he was moving the shapes and colors. He was forming what started to resemble a yo-yo Tom opened his eyes and in front of him was a real yo-yo fell into his hands.
Tom was rusty for sure, it was a long time since he used the power. It also would take a while to recharge and he couldn’t stand being here any longer so he had to take what he was given. It didn’t take long before he became a master, doing tricks at super speed. After some time he sends the yo-yo straight through the iron bars over the dead guard straight at the key pad, with otherworldly skill pushes the key code 7 7 7 one number at a time. The bars rise with ease and Tom sticks his purple haired head out looking both ways down the long prison cell hall.
Tom cautiously walks through the hall on the tips of his toes. But he quickly stops when he noticed the cells are mostly filled with the non living. A dead body here a dead body there. The bodies shivered up like raisins made Tom almost vomit. He continued to walk something hit this place and hit it hard. He stops in his tracks when he hears a tiny voice coming from one on the cells. Retracing his steps he stands in front of the the cell holding a young woman.
The young woman was laying under a thin sheet. She was looking at the ceiling of her cell. Her breath was slow, she was in pain maybe even dying
Water please water
Tom steps back a step and looks up at the cell number.
Tom’s stomach then roars with desire,
food i need food too please
the woman now looking straight at Tom she was beautiful her blonde hair coming down over her brown eyes. He knew her but Tom was too hungry to think about that now. He continued to walk without saying anything to the woman. He reached the end of the hall and opened the door to the outside, he looked back and then stepped through the door.
The door led to a space where the guards stayed and watched the prison. The space was slightly larger than the prison but not by much, again the place was nearly empty. On the back wall was a large clock and next to the clock was another door that read supply rations for the guards of Prison 5454. Tom walked to it and upon opening it, he finds a large supply closet with boxes and boxes of food and water. Tom goes up to one of the boxes on the floor and digs right in, opening the cases and stuffing the delicious food into his greedy face. Nothing seemed to matter till the woman began to scream
WATER!
The scream hit Tom ’s ears like thousand flying spears, falling to floor, he picks himself up and holding his ears the pain was intense. Another scream begins, causing Tom to lose balance and trying to hold on knocks a plastic jug of water onto the ground. On the floor he opens his eyes and reaches for it unable to rise from his hands and knees he bites the rubber top, holding it in place. The screams wouldn’t stop, Tom crawls through the space all the way back to the woman’s cell. He reaches up to the keypad and enters the numbers 5 7 6 causing the woman’s cell’s bars to rise up.
Tom still on his hands and knees crawls to the the woman. The water jug’s tight in between his teeth. He knells next to her and With his last amount of strength he opens the jug and begins pouring the lukewarm water into the woman’s open mouth. She drinks the entire thing and ending with a quit burp. She wipes her mouth with her small hand. Looking at Tom, who has feel onto his back holding his ears rocking back and forth
My name is Sophia
What! yells Tom
