It was late in the evening when Terry argued with his parents again, the Simons' house has been unusually noisy for weeks, because Terry was fired from his job as a salesman some time ago. But Terry didn't even seem to itch, which upsets Terry's parents even more, Terry thought to himself: "since I'm only 19 I still have time to take care of the job search" Terry lives since his birth in townberry it was a small town with no more than 30.000 inhabitants, but still with many secrets, like the unexpected disappearance of JJ McMill from, two weeks ago, Terry knew him, but you could rather say from seeing and nothing more, the two went to high school together JJ was a class above him. But the strange thing about the JJ McMill case was that he disappeared from his home, which makes the case more mysterious. After the argument, Terry went to his room on the first floor, he still wanted to shower and lie down, but as soon as he was done with the shower, he heard how his parents were still talking about him downstairs in the kitchen, annoyed that they were always talking about him, he lay down, about an hour had passed, Terry suddenly woke up because of a knock on the door, he ignored it because he thought his father would already open the door. But a few seconds passed and never one opened the door, annoyed with a sleepy body he went around and opened the door "Yes, hello" said Terry with sleepy eyes, but no one was in front of the door, he looked at all possible sides. But no one was there but he looks at the floor in front of the entrance and there he was a letter "Since, when do postmen work so late in the evening, ah definitely a joke from the neighbors' children" Terry said quietly and picked up the letter he looked again in the dark streets of his area but absolutely nothing to see, Terry was just about to go up to the room to lie down again but the curiosity overwhelms him, and Terry decided in the kitchen a glass of water to drink and to look what the letter should be anyway. So he did it and sat down at the kitchen table and began to make the letter. "Mhm, strange, there's nothing on it at all!" Surprised Terry said, the letter has no text or name at all, he didn't think anything of it and opened it, there was only a paper inside with some funny symbo, it looked like a knight on a horse and a small note in the middle where only "The knight games begin". Terry looked at it with a neutral face expressed. "Damn, they woke me up for such a shit" said Terry with a little loud voice and threw the letter in the kitchen garbage, he goes to the room and lies down but since he was already woken up, he was just lying around, and like a curse he couldn't stop thinking about the content of the letter, "what is that, who or what did that send me and why didn't my parents wake up to open the door, after all their room is in Ground floor and not mine, strange," Terry thought to himself in his thoughts.
Terry could no longer sleep with all the questions about the letter "the knight's games begin" what does that mean he asks himself? , Before the whole questions he decides to stand up and drive to the nearest gas station with his father's car to get a pack of cigarettes and something to drink. When he came back after about 30 minutes he noticed that the light was on in the kitchen, nothing to think he thought that his father got up to prepare for work because his father worked as a construction worker in the nearest city. When he stood at the front door he got a strange feeling and fear, as if something bad had happened and he realized that it was Sunday morning, which means that his father did not have to work, because he never worked on Sundays, scared he held the house keys with trembling hands "ah, what should have happened" Terry thought to calm himself down, at least it is possible that his father just got something to drink. Reassured, Terry opens the door and went into the hallway of the house, standing, he called, "Dad, is it you?" The silence scares him, but with quiet heavy breathing he walked a few steps forward, just enough around the corner into the kitchen to look, "w w what the hell are you doing here" said Terry with a confused face if the keys had fallen out of his hand. Because JJ McMill sat on one of the kitchen chairs with an exhausted body plot only there, but Terry noticed that he also held the letter in his hands. "because letter, JJ you got him too" asked Terry, "Yes!" JJ replied with just that with a whisper to confuse. "What did they do with you, and where were you the two weeks anyway, your parents were worried they even turned on the police, the whole city was at rest because of you" said Terry with a slightly aggressive voice, but JJ just looked around and stared at the ground. They will start soon, please whatever happens to you you must never give up hope, okay. JJ said with a sad look. JJ got up and moved slowly to the door of the house, he passed next to Terry, Terry just stared and couldn't say anything because JJ seemed believable to him, and he still made him think about the things JJ said, although it was little, "Terry.... , we know each other from seeing each other only from school, but please if you and that will unfortunately, will participate in the knight games, you may please, please not lose hope" JJ said it from the door with his back robe to Terry, Terry Turned around and looked at him scared and confused "what do you think, I have to participate in the knight's games whether I want it or not," - "Who gets the letter, no matter if he opens it to him or not he has to participate, it's like that and I can't change anything, Terry" JJ replied to Terry's questions and opens the door to go out, "tell me, how do you want to explain that to your parents where you were? , ha JJ, do you think I should believe you" - "if you don't believe me why are Then your parents didn't wake up because of all the shouting? Do you even ask yourself, Terry," said JJ and turned around looked Terry in the eyes "we are already in the knight game, your parents and the other people in the city are away only the people who have received the letter are visible to us so you could only see me and I you" said JJ with a slightly aggressive tone. Terry could not let any sound out of himself, he rushes into his parents' room only to find an empty room there the beds and all other objects stood in their place, only his parents were missing, he ran through the whole house every room every room but no trace of his parents. Terry went back to JJ who, during the time Terry searched the house, sat down in the kitchen and smoked a cigarette.
