"You desire answers?" the soft, almost silky voice continued. It was a voice of manipulation, one so soft that if you weren't listening just right, it might be mistaken as one's own thought. "I have the power to give...all...things..." the voice continued slightly huskily and ended in a whisper. The voice, though soft, obviously held power, and my skin tingled from its sound.
The hair on my neck stood straight up, and my skin began to crawl.
I whipped my head back and forth to see the source of the voice.
Nothing.
Blink.
"WELL, AREN'T YOU COMING?!" flecks of spittle flew from the huge man's mouth as he grabbed my arm. I pulled my arm away, and pointed off into a random crowd of people that was meandering through the sunny streets, saying, "Oh, there's my mother! Thanks for keeping me company!"
As I moved away into the crowd fairly rapidly, I heard his deep booming voice shouting, rather menacingly, "Oh, you can try to get away from Him, but in the end, We will find you..."
The voice of the man took on an eerie quality towards the end...as if more than one person was speaking at once.
I glanced around to see if anyone noticed, but they all were oblivious to me and my plight, continually running to and fro performing their errands. I turned briefly to look back at the huge man before the crowd swept me away.
All I saw between the busily moving townsfolk was a small figure...in gleaming white, with eyes of a golden yellow.
Looking right at me.
Blink.
He was gone.

Chapter 1 - part 11
I stand, mouth slack, numb with fear. Who is this man, I wonder to myself, my mind dulled from the haze of fear clouding the world.
A hand grabs my shoulder, long nails set in an iron grip pulling my shirt.
I yell loudly, having nearly jumped over the cold railing next to me. I spin, knocking the arm off of me in an attempt to escape.
A smack to the back of the head jars me to my senses.
"Derion!" my mother shouts, "what has gotten into you?!"

She stands, arms akimbo, not exactly glaring per se, but not exactly just looking at me either. She's ticked, and for good reason.
A flush of embarassment creeps into my face, and I can feel my cheeks and ears heat up. "I'm...I...well...uh..." I manage too stutter out. "I'm sorry Mom...you...ya just startled me...that's all."
"Really Derion. I just...I just don't know what we're going to have to do. You aren't the happy guy you used to be. For the last week and a half you jump at every little noise, you're paranoid, or if you aren't paranoid it seems to me that you are. Joley notices too. He's worried about you, Deri."
I flushed hotter. "Mom...you know I hate it when you call me Deri...and I'm sorry for being so uptight. I've...just been stressing over some stuff at school. Don't worry about it!" I grinned broadly.
She ruffled the hair under my black ball cap a little and smiled too. "All right. Just remember, if you ever, and I mean it, EVER, need anything, you know you can come to me. Kay?"
"All right Mom. And thanks." We walked back to the van, and I felt better than I had for a while. Things never seemed so bad with Mom around.
When we got past the police and reached the van I put the shovel and the hammer in the back, and closed the trunk door with a squeeky slam. We began the dusty road back to our house, listening to my favorite band AC-DC on the radio.
As we pulled out, tires spitting gravel and dust, a sound lightly tickled my ear...too soft to really be heard. I looked behind me and saw Joley smiling, so I figured it was him chuckling. At any rate, the "Highway to Hell" drowned out the sound.

And I apologize, guys. The next bit is unfinished. I was struck with horrible writer's block, and I lost what plan I had for the next part.
Anyway, I probably won't be writing more to this for a long time.
I hope you enjoyed the little snatch I've written so far.

lmfao
I AM SO WIN.
Seriously, Patriotic, I was so ready to be TICKED at you for posting.
But I managed to guess EXACTLY how many reserves I'd need, even when I found out I'd omitted like 3 posts worth from the first posting of White as Snow.
And I'd added additional reserves to the 18 I'd saved just on a whim...and I got it within 87 characters.
Omfg. I OWN.
