Mr. Smiles

Chapter 1: 1. Shadow World

"HELLO FRIEND!, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THE LIGHT!!!"

"These were the words written on a piece of paper in the bathroom. Why would somebody leave that in there. Without thinking, I threw it out. Could it have been a warning? No, It's too random or is it?. The worse part of it was, it was written in someone's blood."

"What are you talking about"

"Oh, I mean, nothing, it's nothing"

"Well, if your done talking to yourself, can we go now"

"Yeah, let's go"

~ The two friends left the bathroom, the one friend with the paper, did a smart thing, he took the paper, still unsure if it was real or should be taken seriously.

"Hey Ron, can we get something to eat now?"

"Alright, let's go the the burger store, you like burgers right?"

"Oh yeah, burgers are always the best to eat"

"Alright, it's right there, let's go in"

~ Ron and his friend go into the "Burger Shop"; that was the name of the burger store

" Ok Joe, get whatever you want, just don't overdo it. I haven't got much money" Ron said

" No Problem" Joe said, as he walks up to the cashier

~ Ron decided to sit down at the table and wait

"HEY RON! YOU WANT ANYTHING!"

~ Ron shakes his head to let Joe know, he didn't want anything. After a few minutes Joe arrives at the table.

'So, what did you get" Ron asked

"Oh, nothing much, just a cheeseburger and large French Fries. No soda" Joe replied

"Ok, enjoy it." Ron said

"So, you got my change, you don't think I'd forget, would you." Ron added

"Your as sharp as ever Ron, you know that" Joe said, as he slides Ron his change

~ Ron laugh a little bit

"I was messing with you, you can have it." Ron said, as he slide the change back to Joe

"Thanks for the money"

"Alright big guy. Time for us to go home. See you tomorrow" Ron said

"Aw Man. I was hoping to stay a little longer. Alright if you say so." Joe replied

~ Joe and Ron both left the Burger Shop to head home.

"Alright see you" Ron said to Joe

"No Problem, See you later Ron" Joe said

~ They both go home

""HELLO FRIEND!!!"

"Huh, who is there"

""NO LIGHT REMEMBER"

"Joe is that you. Did you follow me home. I mean, that's a little weird but..."

~ Ron saw something in the corner that was staring him back in the eye. It seemed worried

"WHOA!!!!, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!!!!"

~ Ron quickly went to turn on the light. Soon as he did, the figure vanished.

"Ok, what was that, I know I didn't imagine that." Ron said in a scared voice

~ Ron decided to check the house to see if anyone was playing a prank on him.

- A FEW MINUTES LATER

"OK, whatever. It was probably nothing. I'm tired, I should get some sleep." Ron said, as he yawned

~ Ron got ready to go to sleep. Ron turned off the lights, When he got into bed, he felt a hand touch him.

Ron quickly jumps out of bed and crawled to the lights to turn it on

"SHIT!!!, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!"

""DONT WORRY FRIEND, I'M HERE TO HELP YOU!"

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!!!" RON SCREAMED

""I'M YOUR FRIEND. NO LIGHT REMEMBER."

"Ok look, First off, I'm not your friend, secondly, I don't know who or what you are. So please, leave me alone." Ron begged

~ The figure stared at Ron for a while. Moments later, it vanishes.

"Ok, let me get some sleep. I don't know what that was, but maybe I'll forget about it in the morning." Ron said, as he goes to sleep

~ He decided to keep the lights on

- A few hours later

"RON!!, RON!!, WAKE UP RON."

~ The moment Ron opened his eyes, he was greeted by what was deemed as light, but it's outline was that of a person.

"WHAT THE HELL!!!!" RON SCREAMED

"Be not alarmed. We are not your enemy. We are here to protect you."

"Ok, this has got to be a dream. I'll wake up soon." Ron said hopefully

~ Ron waited a few minutes, when he saw he wasn't waking up or his surroundings changing, he tried slapping himself awake, but nothing happened.

"Ok now I'm freaked out" Ron said

"Be not alarmed. We are not your enemy. We are here to protect you."

"Yeah I know, you said that already, where am I anyway?" Ron said

"Good Question, but how about we tell you who we are, maybe then, you will be at ease."

"Yeah, sure, why not" Ron said

"We are Night Fighters from an alternate Universe. We stay close to other lifeforms from the nearest Universe in order to protect them from what we call, Light Beasts."

"Huh, Night Fighters? Light Beasts?" Ron said confusingly

"Yes. We understand your confusion. Night Fighters are a group of light sourced entities that fight away the evil and corrupt nature of what we call Light Beasts; Light Beasts don't like light, they will travel to other universes to try and corrupt those that are willing to listen. Be not deceived young friend, if you must

know, you met a Light Beast, before we showed."

"Ok, so...wait, that thing I saw was evil?!" Ron asked

"More corrupt than evil, but yes, they don't like anything good."

"Ok, so, where are we" Ron asked

"Right, like I said before, we are from an alternate universe."

"Ok, let me get this straight, your saying that right now, I'm in a different universe." Ron said

"That is correct. You are in a different reality"

"Wow. ok, does this "Reality" have a name" Ron said

"Um, yes, it is known as "Shadow World"

~ After a moment of laughter, Ron got more agitated.

"Shadow World, ok, so how do I get out" Ron said

"Hm, well, we don't know exactly. We just travel and observe. We don't interact with other lifeforms unless it is very important."

"NO NO NO NO, ARE YOU SAYING I'M STUCK HERE!!!"

"Easy now, I know you don't want to hear it but yes, you are currently stuck here, but like we said, We will keep you safe"

"Great, just great" Ron said

~ After a few minutes, Ron had no choice but to seek guidance from the Strange group known as Night Fighters.

"Don't worry, there may be a way out for you. It won't be easy to find but, if you got here, then, there must be a way out. Follow our command and we will ensure your safety"

"Fine, lead the way." Ron said
