Hey there, this is myfirst story. I'm using it to train my writing. I know this and next chapter are awfully small, but please, bear with me.

0.1 - The Awakened

“The reports come from all over the world, actually. People with abilities that goes beyond current science, doing what was thought impossible as of last month. And today we have one of them here, with us. Welcome Jonas.”

A beautiful black-haired lady was talking on stage, she was very focused and had this seriousness air around. Just as she finished talking, the camera changed and started filming a blonde Russian-looking man walking to the stage. Before sitting in the guest chair, though, he stopped and started talking.

“The Awakened. That’s what we’re calling ourselves.”

He, then, proceeded to sit on the chair. The lady smiled awkwardly, as this obviously wasn’t in the script. But as the professional she was, she continued acting as if nothing happened.

“That’s quite interesting, Jonas. We asked our audience earlier, and they have several exciting questions for you.”

She paused a bit, as if giving him some leeway to talk. He caught it and immediately started his prepared speech.

“I understand people may be confused and lost with all that is happening. But fear not for this is the wish of the world itself. For millennia humanity searched for an answer, a reason to exist, someone, or something, to be responsible. Maybe, we all, The Awakened, is his or her answer.”

“That is indeed a very fascinating view, Jonas. It’s certainly a very reassuring interpretation of all these events. Now, for the first question…”

She made a small pause to build up drama.

“What is your special ability?”

He smiled and started talking.

“Going straight to the point, huh. That…”

As he started talking, his body started to grow and his voice grew eerily.

 “Is…”

Little protrusions started growing in his forehead.

“A…”

The protrusions got bigger, and his whole skin started to darken.

“Very…”

The horns in his forehead finished forming, and fur was growing in his whole body.

“Interesting…”

He got up, breaking the chair and creaking the ground. His size was around three and a half meters.

“Question…”

His voice was so eerie, that you could hear audible gulps from the audience and the beautiful interviewer.

*Drip*

If you paid attention to the interviewer, you would see a light green liquid running down her exposed legs to the ground.

He slowly got closer to her and looked down. He picked her with his massive han- no, his massive claws, and applied a bit of strength.

*CREAAAK*

Only the disgusting sound of bones breaking and flesh being torn could be heard, as no one even breathed.

After tasting the blood in his hands with his massive snake-like tongue, he looked straight at the camera with his vibrant eyes.

Before all hell broke loose, the television stopped airing, only static remaining.
