Shadow-Cry: Episode 3 ( A new world )

The world has become something I despise.

I opened my eyes slowly. As my eyes fell upon the city, all I could do was stare at the sight before me. The entire city was bigger than ever, some of its buildings are taller and larger. But the city had something else strange about it. Screams could be heard once in a while, and there is a dark aura about the city that I couldn't help but notice.

" Now I know why you trained me to kill, looks like you gave me a new outfit too." I said. I was wearing a cloak with a hood, a mask that covered my mouth right to my nose, a black outfit that fits my new name perfectly. " I just wanted my new instrument of death to look good." Ned replied. " Its been 15 years since you died. The former president died, and his sucessor ruled over him. He seperated the rich from the poor, building higher houses for rich people to avoid the poor below them, it also reminds them that poverty exsists. The president was just a puppet of the corrupted who fed their needs and doomed others. Soon the entire city was brainwashed with sin and corruption. Everyone takes sin as a lifestyle."

I heard another scream. I know the time has come to rid the world of its dirty deeds. Moving into a shadow I was teleported to the source of the screams. I creeped out of the shadow silently. I saw a girl and a man fighting over a loaf of bread. They were both wearing ragged clothing. " Great! I can have you and this bread." said the man still oblivious to my arrival. The girl screamed for help as the man grabbed hold of the girl and brought her into the back alley. Nothing else has to be said about what will happen next. I pulled a pistol right from my cloak. It was a revolver with eight bullets in it. Jumping in the shadows again I appeared right behind the man. I blew the man's head apart with a shot at point black range. The girl was stunned, she turned and ran.

" I see you have found the power to travel through the shadows, conjure up weapons from your cloak and scare people away." said Ned. " How can I get back to my normal life in a place like this?" I asked. " You don't need a normal life, you have all the power no man could dare use. You can't die, you can regenerate yourself." Ned replied. I jumped onto the roof of the nearby building and looked at the moon. I suddenly thought of my friend, Charlie, and my first love, Diana.

' Diana.' I sighed. " Diana, where are you, do you still love me?" Tears rolled down my eyes, I didn't bother to wipe them. I pulled over my hood and jumped into the shadows.
