Chapter 01

Chapter One
My first trip into the shadows

So, I suppose I should start at the start of it all. Hello, my name is Fox... and that's all you need to know about me. I suppose you'll learn more about me as I continue this, but for now I don't think you should know any more then that. I'm going to start with my first encounter with the extraordinary.

.   .   .

I was visiting my home city of New York on my 13th birthday, and it was after my party. I decided that I would visit some of my old haunts, no pun intended. I went to central park to re-live memories of brighter days.

As I walked down one of the out of the way paths that meander around central park it happened. I'd like to say I noticed right away that their was something odd going on, but I was listening to some really loud music and my other senses aren't that sharp.

Only when I nearly bumped into it did I see the dog on the middle of the path. It seemed wounded and I must admit I felt sorry for it. But of course when it attacked me I defended myself. I know it sounds odd, but not once did the thought to run way from the beast go through my head. I wasn't able to kill it, and even then I didn't want to. Still, I drove it back with minimal injury.

As soon as I could I contacted the park authority's and got some quick medical attention. Physically I was surprisingly uninjured, but that business did freak me a bit out. When I got home my mom fawned over me because of my injuries not letting up until I assured her I was fine without a doubt.

To be honest it seemed fairly regular at the time, just some stray dog attacking me. But still, after that things began to get stranger and stranger. Looking back, that is the first in a line of supernatural encounters that led me to today. It is because of these encounters that I met the cast of characters who I fight beside to help the human race.
