Never back down

My name is Albert Ethan Long, I am six feet tall, white skinned, teenager, with slightly spiked hair, and red eyes. I know it's not the most common eye color but I think being unique is fun. I currently live in a monestary in New York City. It wasn't a big monestary but big enough to fit at least fifty people inside.

"Bert, it's time for supper!" Yelled Gordon, my Father.

"Ok, Dad, I'm be there in a little bit!" I yelled back.

I then approached my bedroom door and exited my room. I made my way to the dinning room, where my Mom and Dad were sitting at the table awaiting my arrival. Then the sweet smell of spaghetti wafted in the air. I then sit down at the table and bow my head to pray over the food.

"Dear Lord Jesus, we thank you for this day, and we thank you for the food on the table Lord Jesus. Bless this food we're about to eat and the bless the hands that prepared it. Amen." I said then started to eat.

"This spaghetti tastes good, Martha." Said Dad turning to face Mom.

"Yeah, Mom, this is good." I said after I finished my mouthful of food.

Mom blush a bit "it's nothing really.".

She always was naive "yeah right, Mom, this is very good." I said with a smile.

"Thank you, Honey, I'm glad you like it" Said Mom returning the smile.

""Hey, Dad." I said as I faced him.

"Yes, Son." He replied.

"After we eat, I'm gonna go for a walk ok."

"Ok son but be careful"

"I will, Dad, trust me."

We finished supper a few minutes later. Now I was currently walking past a conveneince store making my way back home. I then opened the monestaries front door and entered closing the door behind me.

Crash!

I whip my head towards the sound. "That sounded like it came from the living room." I said as I ran towards the living room.

Then and there Was when I saw it. A hideous red creature with black horns and bat like wings.

It was trying to kill Dad. I quickly ran over to it and punched it in the face. It stumbled away a little bit but recovered quickly and charged towards me. I didn't have time to react when It sliced my chest, making a huge gash on my rib cage. It then pulled out a sword and tried to cut my Dad's head open but I got up and blocked it with my arm losing it in the process. The creature made an unnatural howl that left my ears ringing and grabbed me by the chin and threw me across the room leaving a gash on my chin, neck, and mouth area. That was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.

I woke up in a hospital room. The clean scent of the room filled my nostrils.

"Welcome back, Son." Said a voice from beside me. I whip my head to my side and I see Dad sitting in a chair beside me.

"The doctors fixed you up as best as they could. But then you started... Well it's best if I show you myself he picked up a hand mirror and handed it to me.

Now let me tell you something. I didn't look good. I had and large scar running down from my shoulder to my abdomen that had boils around it. My right arm was replaced with a reddish - orange arm the had smaller boils around it and my finger nails looked like razor sharp talons. And my mouth, neck, and chin area didn't look much different then me chest scar.

I quickly grab some nearby gauze and wrap it around my arm and neck, mouth, and chin area.

"Why did you do that?" Said Dad eyeing me curiously.

"Because of anyone saw me like this, there would be major problems with the cops." I replied.

"Oh"

"Yeah"

Minutes turned into hours as me and Dad talked about what happened that yesterday. To come to find out. Dad drove off the creature with his crusifix and brought me here. But the bad news is. I might not survive through the night even if I'm awake. It came night time when we stopped talking. That's when I felt a sharp pain in my side and my vision swam.

"Ouch!" I said holding my side and my face contorting into one of pain. It was then I knew that my time was short. I then looked at Dad.

"Bye, Dad, see you in heaven." I said

"Don't talk like that you're going to be fine!" Yelled Dad.

I ignored him and felt the dark, cold embrace of death.

Then nothing.

I woke up in a forest the tall trees blocked any sun from entering the forest and the sounds of crickets chirping and... Talking?! I then sat up and saw six equine horses that had hands and feet.

That's when I did the manly thing... And fainted.
