My New Story

     I have been for the past few months working on a novel.  I know what I want it to be about but am having some trouble on how I want it written.  The premise of it is that a set of twins who were separated at birth.  One knows about the other but the other one doesn't.  They reason why they were separated was because if they come in contact with each other will bring about the end of the world.  One sister is trained to kill the other one.  It pretty much is one is told they are an angel to save humanity and the other is a demon to destroy the world.

Ghost story

Chapter 1

      I don't remember what happened. All I can recall is waking up on the floor of my apartment's living room with a massive headache. I got up and went to the bathroom to take some aspirin. When I looked in the mirror I noticed that I had a little cut on my forehead and that it had bled a little. So I cleaned it and put a band aid on it. After I finished putting the band aid on I heard a cell phone ringing in the living room.

      I go into the living room and notice a cell phone on the coffee table that I have never seen before. I wasn't sure if I should pick it up or not. As I was contemplating this the phone stopped ringing. Thinking it was nothing I started to walk away. Then it started ringing again. This time I picked up.

     “Hello?” I said.

     “Bout time you picked up. I knew you should be awake by now,” the person calling said.

     “I'm sorry. Who is this? How do you know me?” I said starting to get scared.

     “Yo relax. I'm here to help Ms. Jinxx. You can call me Cerberus,” He said.

     “Okay, Cerberus. How do you know my name and why are you calling me?” I asked.

     “There will be time for questions later. The first thing is that you have to get out of there and fast,” He said with a sense of urgency.

     “Why do I need to get out of here? I live here,” I said starting to think it was either a really bad prank or he was some serial killing rapist or something.

     “Something is coming and you need to get out of there before it gets you,” he said. “I'm parked down the street in a white sports car.”

     “Why should I believe anything you say?” I said suspiciously.

     “You just have to trust me?” Cerberus says.

     “'Then tell me what is coming to get me,” I said starting to panic. “Should I pack anything before I run out of here.”

     “No, just grab this phone and get out of there,” Cerberus said in a hurried voice.

     “Okay, okay. I”m leaving now,” I told him and started heading for the front door and hung up the phone.

      As I was looking up from hitting the end button and froze. The front door was wide open. I wonder how long it had been like that?

      Then I heard footsteps. They were loud and heavy. So heavy that they were shaking the walls and the floorboards underneath my feet. I was wonder how come with how loud it was no one on my floor was coming out to investigate?

      Panicking. I ran and hid behind my couch. I heard the footsteps get closer and now I could hear heavy breathing behind the footsteps. Like every step took a lot of energy to lift up each foot. Then they stopped and I could hear the breathing in the doorway to my apartment. I couldn't look; I was way too scared. I heard whatever it was start entering the apartment one heavy footstep at a time. I heard it go to the left and down the hallway toward the bathroom and my bedroom.

      I decided that I should get the hell out of there. Phone in hand I sprinted out the door and down the hallway. I forgo the elevator and push open the door to the stairway. I was about halfway down the stairs when I heard the door to my floor slam against the wall with a lot of force behind it. Looking up I saw a huge black figure starting to go down the stairs at a very fast pace. Heart pounding in my chest; I started going back down the stairs as quickly as I could.

      I reach the ground floor in the stairway, I rush to the door, and push on the bar. The door doesn't budge. I push on the bar again. Nothing. Panicking now I start really pushing on bar harder. It still wouldn't budge. I start hearing the thing coming down the stairs faster now and go into full panic mode. I stand back and start kicking at the bar on the door.

      After about four kicks the door finally opens. I dash out the door into the lobby and out the open to the sidewalk outside. I looked up and down the street looking for the car. I spot a white sports car parked six cars down and across the street. I then heard the thing crashing through the door from the stairway and running across the lobby. I sprinted across the street and up to the car. I hear the doors unlock and I grab the handle to the passenger side door. I open the door and get into the car.

     “Was wondering what was taking you so long,” Cerberus says with a a frown on his face.

     “Shut up and go go go,” I said out of breath and looking back to see the huge black figure bounding down the street towards us.

     “Shit,” Cerberus says and shifts the car into gear. He pulls out and the creature slams into the back passenger side panel if the car.

      Cerberus floors the gas and we speed away into the night of the city. I sigh with relief and then my eye lids feel heavy for some reason. I fall asleep.
