Set to Rise
Hello my name is Jason James Jeltone. I am fourteen years old. I've been fighting them since I was twelve. I am no ordinary boy. I'm the hunter. Each night I must go out and keep guard at the door to the underworld. I need to make sure that nothing is trying to escape.
You see, before man exsisted, demons or "dinosaurs" walked the earth, until a natural disaster swallowed them into the underworld over the course of a night. Evers since they've been trying to escape. The gods were smart though, they knew that the demons would attempt to escape, so into each generation one boy is given the power of a god to fight the monsters.
No, I am not going out and fighting dinosaurs everynight. I know how weird that must look when you picture it. Actually when they went underground the dinosaurs evolved into smaller much more terrifying beasts. They are about six feet tall, stand on thier hind legs, have vampire teeth and a blue tint to thier skin. They have black eyes like that of a shark and claws.
It's midnight now, still no sign of the demons. That's common. Sometimes they decide not to attempt to leave.
They don't try to escape during the day, thier skin can't take it, nobody knows why, it's an extremely helpful weakness that us hunters can use to our advantage.
No, becoming a hunter at age twelve is not weird, in fact some are even called at age ten. You see, when you turn a certain age (they didn't tell me when) I will die, that way new blood can be called, that's why they start us young.
It's a curse but a gift. I've been given unlimited strength and semi-invulnerability. Although I will die at a young age and I spend my nights fighting demons. I can't have friends, I don't go to school, so my social life level is at ZERO.
Hmm, where the hell is one? I'm really not in the mood to waste my time again, if I could have stayed home tonight I'm going to go insane. It's cold, I'm tired, I'm hungry and I'm starting to get annoyed.
Ah, there it is, the earthquake. Something is trying to get out of it's home...
A hand raises from beneath the earth. Suddenly a whole body emerges from the underground. It doesn't shock me anymore, I'm used to how ugly they are, I'm used to how strong they are, they don't really pose a threat to me.
I do a roundhouse kick to it's face. It falls backwards. It jumps back on it's feet and does a high jump kick to my gut. I feel pain, but I don't let it slow me down. I think that's how the demons works as well. I know he can feel the pain as well as I can, but showing pain leaves an opening for an attack.
It does a jump-on-box kick to my face. My nose bleeds a little, I'm used to that. I do a back-handspring over it's head and from behind I stab it with the sai that I had hidden behind my back.
The demon falls to the ground and slowly dissolves back into the earth.
Another day on the job.
Tell me if u like it and want me 2 continue...
