“I

 have to go back, the semester is over and we have a long holiday ahead of us I just have to know what happened, uncle please understand this is really important to me I have to go back to California.”

 It had been long since the incident. Ben thought he had already extinguished any plans of going back to that place in his mind, he swore to protect him and care for him as a son but now he was all grown up and the truth could no longer remain in the shadows. He needed to know the truth before he went back, he needed to know what he was getting himself into.

I hoped this day would never come, but since you insist you have to know the truth behind your father’s disappearance, all that has happened is connected to his work. It all started when your dad was sent to the southern parts of California, he was working on a secret project on Dimensional jumping a sort of quantum physics, just recently before his disappearance he had told me that he had made…

 “Wait to go back were?” I asked.

 That I don’t know Tony but he told me that if something happened to him you should find the chest it would explain everything.

 “What has all this to do with his work?” wasn’t my father kidnapped by some ninja guy  my thoughts run wild.

“To tell you the truth I really don’t know but you don’t see an everyday scientist trying to create a portal do you?”

“No I guess not”

I actually never got over the event that my dad had been kidnapped I couldn’t  remember anything  clearly, I had rushed and called the local police but all they could come up with was that I was a physco and my dad was murdered shocking really they found a dead body in the house disfigured and they claim it’s my dad I couldn’t continue arguing because I knew if I did I would be locked up in a mental clinic, yeah u probably guessed  it right or not, I was a freaking genius at that age, I moved to my uncles at Philadelphia since it was the law and he was basically my own family  I had to get some ground before I started looking for my dad. My uncle Ben took me in mostly because of my father’s inheritance. It stated that  he would get some money for taking care of me till I finished versity and all my expenses would be paid for.

“If that’s what you really want I can’t stop you but be careful Tony”

As I left I could see a smirk plastered on his face.

As the train departed and station begun to grow blurry, dark clouds started gathering over the horizon, the winds howled with violent screams as if it was summoning  its companions,    a storm was brewing something was going on it was going to be a rough night.

Looking out the window my thoughts started to drift and in all honesty I thought I myself was going crazy, life wasn’t that easy to begin with, sometimes I wish I could have powers then many things could become easy, maybe it was time to give up…….

The whipping of the wind was unbearable, thunder boomed as lightening cracked both in unison as if agreeing with the wind, I somewhat felt uneasy knowing that something was out of place but I couldn’t quite guess what, the aura in the air was so strong yet sweet but deadly at the same time I realized that I wasn’t alone in my cubicle I somewhat felt I was being watched “I know you are there, who are you and what do you want with me?”

“So u have noticed me interesting very interesting I believe we will be meeting soon my prince, but for now enjoy your trip and be wary of the praying demons on the train, till next time”

“Wait Demons! what demons, who are you”

Before I could say anything else he had already vanished in thin air, a gashing wind escaped from the open window sending a great amount of fear running down my spine chilling and freezing all my senses, the violent storm was still raging with anger clearing everything out of its way.

Demons……Demons do such things really exist? How did he vanish in thin air? What prince? Does he have any clue were my dad is? Why me…… Rivers and streams both converged into one sending a flood of thoughts into my brain I cursed and cursed to the people who took my dad away and as if in response to my sentiments all the windows shuttered sending blasts of cold air with icy drops of rain.

“Mr. Dart please come this way, sorry for the inconvenience please follow me I will assign you a different compartment”

I willingly followed the young man he was practically in his mid thirties, he was one of those people who sent a chill into your body when you saw them and his fake plastered smile smelled disaster but ironically I felt safe around him at that moment it was creepy being alone.

 “You must be very powerful to cause such chaos amidst this train and to draw him here of all the places who are you anyway?”

He spoke with a farm raspy voice that echoed through the empty compartment which unveiled his clandestine curiosity and no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t read his expression
