THE BEGINNING

Once upon a time in the small town of Willowbrook, there lived a young boy named Clint. He was known to be one of the most brilliant kids at school, always excelling in his studies and displaying an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Clint was not only a genius, but he also possessed a great sense of adventure, which often led him and his friends on exciting escapades.

(ACCORDING TO HIM)

When I was admitted to my school I was so happy and delighted because it has been my wish since I was little though I was not financially okay but I sacrificed all my efforts, my time to apply for the scholarship exam and as I was part of the free scholarship achievers, I was so elated and I could feel the heavens clapping for me. How I wish that my mom hasn't died yet because I really miss her so much, she died a year before I was registered for the scholarship exam but as for my dad, I didn't know anything from him at all from scratch.

I don't even know his name, family, background because all what my mom told me about him is that he was dead many years ago; he died the day I was born that's what she always tells me and I truly believe her but one thing wierd is that anytime i try to bring forth the topic concerning my father's background, she would get angry and furrious at me every time by saying just one word ' Devil ', I hate hearing that and sometimes I would yell back at her to stop calling me that.

The doctor said she died from a chronic disease called ' CANCER ', I was so bitter and sad that I lose my guardian angel; here I'm again lonely and a wandered orphan.

I made my mind to become a medical doctor by all means that's why I wanted to study medicine and surgery in the Higher Institution. I finally got admitted into the school successfully, I was damn happy but whenever I remembered my past then i will suddenly became sad and bitter about my mom's demise.

I am just a random kid with no friends no foes, no siblings, no parents but I didn't know that getting to Higher Institution was another word entirely not until I discovered that strange things are happening and I am not only the wierd one. Thereafter i experienced a lot of things which were so evil and I deeply focus on my research on it to the core, this is how it all started...

I was admitted and I was assigned as the class representative of the class. I wanted to decline it but I had no choice I was the shy type. They all embraced me in the class by welcoming me with all different type of statement like " hey nigga welcome ", " My guy what's up ", " you are welcome bro ". I was so intensed because they were too many in the class, I haven't seen so much people like that in my life.

Then I observed something weird that all except one were clapping, she seems unhappy because with the look on the face, it was as if she was sad or lost something precious to her; I was a good observant and also a great listener too.

Not so long our lecturer barged inside and met everyone shouting, he was tall, build and fierce. Everyone became silence as if nothing had never happened, but what makes me a little nervous is that I couldn't hear his footsteps when he was coming and also what baffles me the most is that he had no shadows.

He spoke to us " Hello students, since you guys have already wasted your time talking and shouting, i have no class to attend than to stay here and give you lectures you will never forget in your lives. I was frightened by his statement, he was not friendly at all, he is so strict.

I thought I was the only one scared but i discovered that many students like me were also scared too. He continues " So today I am going to teach you guys Ancient Myths ".

A boy named Tom stood up and said to him: " Please sir, we are told to sit down here and get prepared for our English Language Class sir "

So he replied with a deep Scary voice saying: " Keep shut, I know but is it not good to have some Mythological Ancient conversation with you guys first, this will enlighten you properly, well i hope so or have you forgotten that i am your History Teacher ".

Everywhere because decorum and he continues: " So students, here is a story of legendary about ancient knights, i mean the dark knights ". I became curious and i asked him " Please sir, who are the knights ", he smiled and said " You seemed more interested, I like this one, well they are the three Villians of life ".

A boy named Joe asked: " But sir, I thought devil is the villian of life ? ", he replied: " Hmm good question, you seem so smart but we can actually called them his Messengers ".

All the class became silent and I have many questions to ask him at a time but I rather zip my mouth up and listen to him carefully.

He continued " These 3 Dark Knights are caused by Animals around, one is caused by domestic animals or virus that you might encounter so easily and the others are wild animals. "

I was wondering how he had known everything but i gave it a second thought that it is his job and he would know much more about it.

He looked at me and said to me " Were you thinking about something ", I was so shocked to hear that but i lied " No, not at all i was just listening to you ", he replied sharp " Okay let's continue, the first one are called Zombies which is a deadly virus and are caused by infected crazy mouse and cats. "

So another boy named Jude spoke " What, zombies aren't real, It was all staged on TV ", He replied " And that's why we know them as Ancient Myths ", then he suddenly came to me, I was so frightened and shocked, my heart almost stopped, he said to me saying: " But do you really believe that kid huh ". I was dumbfounded, I couldn't say a damn word, so he return back to his position and continues.

" The second ones are called " Vampires " which is caused by bloodsucking bats. So the last ones are called LYCANS or popularly known as WEREWOLVES, or SHAPESHIFTERS, they are possibly different two things that can cause it, It is either they are bitten by a wolf or a curse. "

I have tons of questions to ask but the fear of saying a word in his presence is in me, I almost blamed myself for coming to the school. Because as he kepts saying wierd things, I started to freak out, he is indeed a strict man.

He said as he wrote something on the Whiteboard " I give you 24 hours to complete this project am about to give you now ", then he wrote " SCHOOL PROJECT, discover Ancient Myths for me and probably base on werewolves and give me prove ". A girl named Patricia spoke " Please sir, the semester just started yesterday and you are already given us project to do but instead we need basic training "

He smiled and frowned his face immediately, he said " This project is not compulsory for all students in this class but for only the serious ones, no objection and I take this as basic training Patricia "

They were not happy about the project but except me, I was so glad to hear that, I have always wanted a practical class in which I can make things happen by myself, eversince when I was in high school ( College ). Then he spoke " This project is not an easy task work but it is only meant for the brave not the timid, you guys will go and make research on your own and this will be 70% part if your history exam ", others said " But sir what if we can't make a research ", he smiled " Then you fail ", he was about to leave then i asked him about his name saying: " Sir, please what's your name ", he looked at me and said " Don't be so curious ", I was confused " Curiosity about what ", he replied " The name is Lyn, you will never forget it, I hope so " then he left.

Tom came to meet me and said " Isn't he so wierd huh ", I replied " Yes I totally ". so Tom said " But the main wierd one is her ", he pointed at the girl whom was actually quiet and silent in the class. I replied " Why is she quiet like that ", Tom replied " We don't know at all but I know that Mr Lyn is her uncle ", I said " Ohh that's too deep, so what's her name ", then Joe said as he was coming towards my direction " Sandra ! ".

Others came about 3 more students, so we all said to Joe at a time saying: " How did you know that ", jude sigh and said: " Well actually she is the friend of my crush "

We said at once again " WHO ? ", he replied quick: " Patricia offcourse, the smart girl in class ", then jude said " Hmmm well bro didn't see that coming "

Me: " Hey wait, are you two brothers "

Joe: " Yeah"

Me.confused " How come "

Jude: " No we are twins "

Me: " Wow i see "

Martha : Well, you are the Newbie huh "

Me: " Yes "

Tom hit my arm so hard and said to me " Hey nigga, what's up my name is Tom hoddins, can i be your friend ", To my first thought, I really thought that he wanted to fight but am glad to hear that he wanted to be my friend, I replied very sharp " Yes sure my pleasure ". Joe said to me " My name is Joe Baskin and my bro is Jude Baskin ", I replied " Wow that's good, nice to meet you ". Then the two girls came closer to me, I was feeling so tensed because no lady had ever moved closer to me like that, I almost felt uncomfortable. She said, I mean one of the girls " Hello, I am Martha, I mean Martha Maxwell and here is my Twin sister ' Linda Maxwell ' I was surprised to see another set of twins again; I shook hands with them and said " Wow that's great, It is my pleasure ".

Tom said to me " Aren't you interested in the adventure that's is going to proceed huh ", I was a but confused "What adventure", Jude said: " The Project "

Linda " You should know that it is already started now"

Martha " And we need to work together as a team "

Tom " Yeah, teamwork "

So I now understand what they mean, I said " Okay, you mean we should all go for an excursion today before tomorrow right ", Tom replied " Absolutely ".
