Darkness Rising

Ice Damian Black is not normal. The shadows always seem to envelope him, and his hair is more black than anyone else's. When he finds out his father, might that alter the world's fate?

Chapter One: Life Sucks As Always
Ice's POV

It was sunny when I woke up the morning of the day that my life changed.

Ugh, I hated the light. I'd rather stay in the shadows.

I changed and went downstairs. My mum, Jessie Black, was cooking waffles.

"Morning, Ice," she said.

"Morning, mum," I muttered.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"It's too sunny out," I grumbled.

"Your father never liked the sun," she said, and I saw her eyes tear up.

I had always been told that my father had been killed in a gunfight when I was 1.

I would later learn how much of a lie that was.

Great. It was too sunny, and I had a crying mum.

Today sucked.

I hugged her, ate my breakfast, and left to catch the bus.

I wanted to ditch, but my mom wouldn't like it.

You see, I have ADD and I'm dyslexic, so I suck at school.

I'm also goth, so my only friend was a football linebacker named James.

James was also dylexic and he kept away from his teammates, so we were friends.

He would also help mme discover the truth that would cahnge my life.
