I wanna see if this story actually takes off, so here's a scene from the middle of the book.


Max's Point of View

Max took a sharp inhale, his head was spinning and his vision became foggy. He heard distant callings. Callings of...his name?

"Max." A voice said assertively, shaking him awake. He saw Ivory and Karmen next to him.

"Ughh," Max said rubbing his head.

"Max, you good? This has been happening for a while now.." Karmen said a bit concerned. It was the first time he had saw Karmen actually worried.

"I'm fine," Max quickly stood back up, using the wall next to him to keep himself steady. Something wasn't right, even they could tell now. He didn't know what though. He felt hungry, which was odd, he had already eaten lunch with Ivory and Karmen earlier. He felt his head go heavy once again.

"Max?" He heard Karmen say.

"His eyes- quick get the thing," Ivory sounded panicked. He heard Karmen flee to retrieve his bag.

And that's when everything went black.

Ivory's Point of View:

Okay, Max was definetly NOT okay. He had been in and out of it all day. I swear I saw him take that medicine of his. Then for some reason he goes and plops on the ground.

"Max?" I call out.

"Max." I say more sternly, and he wakes, his eyes are dialated.

"Ughh," I watch as Max rubs his forehead. He better not be joking.

"Max, you good? This has been happening for a while now.." Karmen says, she looks just as worried as I do.

"I'm fine," Max says quickly standing up. C'mon man, stop acting all tough, I can clearly tell you're NOT fine. Max looked pale, like even more pale than usual. I snap out of my thoughts when Karmen asks out of the blue.

"Max?" She runs over to catch him before he falls on the floor again.

I come over to observe him.

"His eyes- quick, get the thing," I say, my hands quivering. He suddenly grabs my wrist and I give out a yelp.

He was NOT okay.
