Act 1, Scene 1

In the evening

(Shadow college)

It was midnight in the college. The bright blue sky has now turned deep and the sun has gone to rest.

The moon has taken its place in the sky, alongside his tiny little neighbors that surround him every night.

The school environment was now as dead as a graveyard and desolate– aside for the parts harbouring a few school trouble makers and moonlight lovers. *Speaking of trouble makers– the hole scenario leads us to an old distance quarters– very close to a huge haunted looking story building– labelled Library (but with the L and Y hanging on the balance like it was going to drop at any second).

Naturally it seemed the apartment was empty, but it was very much dominant. Occupied by one of the most notorious, yet brilliant student of the college, John Zach.

He was cleaning up in the bathroom after a stressful long day when something shady and unpleasant occurred.

There was a silent whisper, followed by the sound of heavy clatters.

“Hello” John called out anxiously, in reaction to the sudden play of event.

He creeps out of shower to grab his towel, then walked slowly to the area the sounds appears to be coming from.

“Kelv is that you?” He added becoming very uneasy and uncomfortable.

Walking slowly into the windy and whispering room; he finds no one.

The clattering continues, even though there was no ventilation in the room, and then the weird disembodied whisper.

“Not again– not today” John added furiously, ignoring his racing heart to find the source of the noise.

“Its really not funny, I'm not in the mood today. Whoever you are. Cut it out!” he yelled frustratingly. But in all this the sound raged on–becoming even more louder, freaky and unpleasant.

“Who're you? Show yourself” He added confidently, on trembling feet.

The sound began to draw closer, and closer. Suddenly a dark wind emerging from nowhere swipes him off his feet to the ground. A sound from a disembodied voice follows amidst the wind, whispering the name.

“KAZARA”...

Narrator: And so, what next. what happened?sorry can't tell. Just keep reading– I don't wanna be a spoiler.

Please don't forget to like, comment, and give some support to the book, especially if you find it interesting. Moving on.

At dawn

Still focused on John's apartment. A guy looking like a fellow colleague, about similar age levels with John, rushes into the apartment calling out a name.

Kelvin: John, John! Come on out already, we're late for class. Where the heck are you? (Moving from one part of the apartment to another, trying anxiously to find his friend) Still in shower (Opens the bathroom door, but finds no one inside) or not. I'm sure it's quite late already for him to have gone for one of those jolly strolls of his. Where the heck is he? (Scratching the back of his head uneasily) John!

Heading towards the back exit, he notices some bushes outside tremble.

Kelvin: John, Zack, Rufus... (calling random names as he headed out slowly through the back door, towards the bushes) John, it's not prank day you know. I'm pretty sure it's a late for class day (Jokingly)

But with all this the bush kept rattling uncontrollably

Kelvin: O-k-a-y, this just went from freakish to scary. (forcing a laugh)

Could it be_No, come on Kelvin, that's crazy talk. Karar's a myth. It's got to be a rat or a raccoon.

(It trembles again) or a kitty (and again) Okay, that's it (He kicked hard at the bush– hoping hard that he wouldn't regret his action, and what jumps out of it leaves him speechless) John! (Now wearing a confused look) What the hell are you doing in a bush? Don't tell me you stayed here all night just to prank me.

John: Do you really think I'm that crazy to spend the night in a bush just to get a good laugh? (staring at his friend confusingly)

Kelvin: Then why were you in there?

John: Beats me. One moment I was inside and the next I'm here. All I remember is that weird clattering sound again, and the crazy whispering from the storage room.(frustratingly)

Kelvin: O-k-a-y

John: But this time, I'm sure I heard a name

Kelvin: let me guess, Kazara (mockingly)

John: Yah, that was it. When did you become a psychic. (Surprisingly)

Kelvin: The day you became crazy obsessed with that book.

John: I was never obsessed with the book_ Wait you were, weren't you? I can't believe you read the book and even got obesessed with it. (Smilingly)

Kelvin: Just took a pic

John: Of course (sarcastically)

Kelvin: Hey I wasn't reading your stupid fantasy book okay, and I was certainly not obsessed with it. (Frustratingly)

John: Sure. (still being sarcastic)

Kelvin: Pls don't tell Rex. He wouldn't let the opportunity slip to make fun of me.

John: He wouldn't let the opportunity slip to make fun of anybody. By the way, do you mind escorting inside?

Kelvin: Seriously (questioningly)

John: Then I wouldn't tell Rex and all the girls in college that you're a fantasy novel lover.

Kelvin: Very cold dude.(smiling)

John smirks in response, then they both headed inside.
