Chase exited the school building with a yawn and a stretch.
"it's only been 1 week of after school studying and I'm already sick of it"
He walked across the school yard, sluggishly.
The school yard was empty and the sun was setting in the distance. it was a cold day, the leaves from the trees were scattered acrossed the school yard.
He walked while humming a tune.
'I wonder if Charlie is still waiting for me at the shop'
he turned the corner and continued walking down the street, it was a peaceful day, the loudest thing around was the crisp breeze that stung a little. it was almost ominously quiet.
He walked for around 10 minutes before he turned onto the shops street.
the shop was only a few hundred feet down the road, not quite within eye shot, but today was strange. there was large smoke that erected from above the shop that was clearly visible.
Chase was a little stunned,
'every building here has fire places, but is that a normal amount of smoke? I wonder if something happened, or maybe Tommy set off smoke bombs in the street again..."
"HEEELLP!!!!" A distant scream pulled Chase from his thoughts.
"that was Charlie, I wonder what's wrong"
Chase began to run to the smoke, he ran for around 3 minutes before he arrived at the scene. all of his neighbors had gathered around the outside of the shop, they looked despondently at the burning building
"Chase! Thank God your here, your gand father is still inside the building, we tried to put out the fire, but nothing worked" Charlie was covered in ash and burns, it was evident that he atleast tried to help Chases grandfather.
"what! he's still inside! where are the fire fighters at"
"they haven't arrived yet, we did all we could"
With tears in his eyes Chase ran towards the front door.
"where are you going, you can't go in there alone. you'll die!"
Chase slammed into the front door, he bounced off of it, he used his shoulder to ram into it over and over, the door broke inward with an unwilling creak and slammed into the wall.
"Grandpa!"
Chase put his hood over his mouth and tried to shield his eyes from the smoke that burned his throat.
"cough, cough", there was a faint coughing noise coming from upstairs, it sounded like it was in the study room.
Chase bolted up the steps, they were unstable and most of them were already burning, he tripped and his foot even fell through one, but he quickly recovered. he made it up the steps and barged Into the study.
He saw a small figure in the corner with cloth wrapped around his face.
"grandpa!"
the figure didn't respond, Chase scooped him up and ran down the stairs, if the steps were unstable and hard to walk up before, they were nearly impossible now, with another 150 pounds on his back, he made it halfway down before tumbling down the stairs.
he was able to throw his grandfather closer to the doorway before he hit the bottom. His vision went blurry, the smoke that was burning his throat so badly seconds before didn't seem to hurt anymore. he saw his grandfather get dragged out of the building before he heard a loud crash and everything went black.
".....hello Chase, welcome to Xperia...."
