The Calling

 

 

Apartment building (Dawn)

 

A woman and her son were hastily preparing for their day. Afterwards the Woman went to her room packed a rather large suit case, closed it then changed. She then went to check on her son. Not wanting his mother to see that he was half finished, he kicked the door slamming it shut. The woman arrived at the door to the son’s room then knocked. “Are you almost done?” she asked. He slightly opened the door then stood in front of it obstructing the view inside. He held up his index finger indicating that he needs a little more time.

 

 

“Okay, but hurry and finish up.” the woman stated then walks away. The boy opened his suit case then quickly emptied each drawer from his dresser into it and slammed it continuously until it closed.

A car pulled up to the driveway then honked. “Son, the taxi is here, I’ll be waiting inside.” she said. The boy slipped on his jacket, grabbed the suitcase then walked out the door and into the car which reversed then drove off soon after.

 

 

Airport (Morning)

 

The boy peered through the car’s window the entire journey appearing to be lost in thought. A while later they arrived at an airport then rushed inside wheeling their suitcases beside them.

 

 

Airport, Holding Area (Morning)

 

Both the woman and the boy entered the holding area, took seats then put down their luggage. The boy held his head down as if worried. “We’re halfway done; once we are on that plane you will feel better.” The woman reassured. The boy slowly nodded in agreement. “Numbers 82 and 87 proceed to the Boarding Area.” said a man over the P.A. system. The two joined up with the other passengers and walked across the bridge into the plane.

 

 

Sky, Inside Plane (Afternoon)

 

They took their seats then buckled in. The boy turned to his Mother “Why couldn’t we bring him?” he asked with hand gestures. “You know why we can’t. Don’t throw away this chance he provided.” she stated in a low voice. “Understood, I will behave now.” The boy gestured then turned to the window and stared into the clouds then fell asleep.

 

 

Airport Gates, Inside Car (Late Evening)…

 

“It’s time to get up.” said the woman. The boy woke up to see that he was already out of the airport and inside a Taxi. “How did I get here?” The boy gestured. “Well, I –” she started to explain then the boy fell back to sleep.

 

 

They arrived at a house The Woman stared at it and said “Still looks good.” They unloaded the luggage from the car and brought them inside. The Man from the car took The Boy and helped him to his bed with then woman following with suitcase.

“Let us leave him to rest.” said the man then they both quietly exited the room and slowly closed the door.

 

 

 

House Interior, Outside the Boy’s Room…

 

“Thank you for the help.” said The Woman “It is nothing, Onyeka.” said the man “Has she been getting the letters he’s been sending?” asked Onyeka “Yes, she has. She asks about him many times.” said The Man “That’s great, you should give her a hint but let her figure out the rest.” Onyeka advised

“Then I will tell her that he’s coming soon; she will be so excited.” The said happily but he seemed sad somehow. “Don’t worry he won’t be leaving.” said Onyeka cheerfully “Great news, now I can tell her without any doubt. I should go now, see you later.” said The Man then he quickly existed the house and drove off.

 

 

 

House Interior, The Boy’s Bedroom…

 

Onyeka entered the room removed the boy’s shoes then covered him with a sheet she stood there looking down on the boy “It’s okay now. You don’t have to be afraid anymore, you’ll be safe here.” said Onyeka she then exited the room.

 

 

 

Pyrocatha Palace Int. Classroom #12

 

It was a cold, windy fall’s day and the students of Pyrocatha Palace were preparing for the massive end of year exam. “Kids before you start the test, I’d like to introduce Tyrannkaro.” said Ms. Yamamoto. A boy wrapped head-to-toe in bandages entered “He just moved here so be good to him.” said Ms. Yamamoto. The class briefly stared at the bandages then greeted him whole-heartedly a male student whispered “Check this out, Carl, fresh meat.” he nods then says “Calm down, Eric.” then Mrs.Yamamoto interrupted saying “Tyrannkaro, take a seat beside Ms. Watanabe and begin.” He takes his seat then begins writing.

 

 

An hour later…

 

 

“I’m done at last!” Tyrannkaro exclaimed everyone was astonished that Tyrannkaro had finished so quickly and we’re chattering in amazement. Watanabe turned to him and said “He speaks; who are you anyway?” He nervously rubbed his head and stuttered then the bell rang. “Saved by the bell literally.” Tyrannkaro thought. He then ran to the cafeteria.

 

 

Pyrocantha Palace Int. Cafeteria…

 

Tyrannkaro sat at a table to have lunch, moment later he felt someone tap on his shoulder. He slowly turns around to see Watanabe angrily staring down at him, she then took a seat on the other side of the table. “If we’re gonna get along; I got to know who you are.” Watanabe demanded. Tyrannkaro was surprised that she had found him. “Fine, if it will make you feel better, my name’s Tyrannkaro and that’s it.” she smiled then replied “Tyrannkaro, eh? That’s kind of long so I’ll call you Tyrano from now on.” Tyrannkaro rubbed his chin as thought about the name. “Hmm… that name sounds awesome, thank you.” Watanabe blushes at his words. “Okay, my turn. I am Akira Watanabe and I’m from Japan. Where are you-” she said but was interrupted by the bell indicating the start of class. Tyrano looked at the clock then exclaimed “Watanabe, we’re gonna be late for class, come on!” then he runs off again. “Hey, Tyrano-san, wait up.” said Akira fearing he would get himself lost she doesn’t meet up with him.

 

 

The Next Day…

 

Tyrano was getting books from his locker when Carl came up to him and asked “I know you’re new here but I’m having a party tonight wanna come?” Tyrano briefly thought about it then said “Maybe.” He then walked down the corridor toward class when suddenly two boys rushed along the path but luckily Akira grabs his collar and rescued him. “Be more careful; wouldn’t want my new friend being hurt.” Akira stated. Tyrano stared at her as she walks away and thought “I’m your friend?” After school, he waited “It’s 5 o’ clock we’re is he” said Tyrano in frustration minutes later they both arrived “Sorry sbout the wait.” said Carl. The New Student and the two boys were headed to the party when night fell, they stopped next to a store. “We’re going in, Tyrannkaro hold this.” said Eric as he handed the backpack “Whoa, its kinda heavy.” Tyrano complained. Eric and Carl entered the store a while later a Police Officer approached Tyrano and demanded the bag “I can’t do that.” said Tyrano he then steps back.

 

 

 

“I won’t ask again!” The Officer shouted then he put his hand on the baton. The Officer snatched the bag then opened it and peered inside. “It’s all here. You’re coming with me.” said The Officer.

 

 

Tyrano was shocked “This isn’t mine.” he exclaimed. The Policeman grabbed at him but he swiftly dodged then knocked over a trash can which tripped the Officer. Tyrano ran then climbed over a wooden fence but was impaled by large splinters from the deteriorating lumber in his leg. The Officer got up ran towards the fence then hopped it on the other side there were three paths and no sign of Tyrano which stopped the pursuit. Suddenly, it started rain. Tyrano limped into the nearby woods and came across an old, beaten-up shed and entered it.

 

The inside was dark with light from the outside shining through the holes in the wood. Tyrano fell to the floor and looked up to see an old oil lamp then got up lit it then he pulled his pocketknife and heated the blade on the flame it then he inserted the hot knife into his wound he groans then removes the fragments of wood. While searching he found a glass bottle in a cupboard and opened it he smelled the liquid in an attempt to identify it there was a strong odor Tyrano quickly pulled his head away the substance was Alcohol. He poured it onto his wound and cleansed it. He tied up the wound with his handkerchief then and lost consciousness.

 

 

Tyrano woke up in empty bright room and looked around then a person dressed in a white cloak showed up who startled Tyrano. “You’ve finally arrived.” said the Strange Man. “What, you’ve been expecting me? Also, where are we?” asked Tyrano the man answered “My name is Alek and we’re in a space between heaven and earth, where people who are strong can be guided.” The room became dark and a brilliant glowing figure appeared and said “I sense great power within, you’re worthy to become a Messenger.”

 

 

Tyrano looked puzzled he asked “A Messenger, what’s that?” Alek replied to the question “Messengers are blessed people who serve the Master and defend his people from evil. Only a chosen few can become...
