I am alex williams. I am 18 year old. I live in the LA .You all might be thinking of me as a normal highschool boy who lives in the los Angeles (LA), but trust me that's not the case.
I grew up deep in a forest with my gramps that's kinda crazy right?. Y'all might be scratching your heads which kind of old man let's his grandson live up in the forest until he's 18. Yup that's the case I moved to los Angeles at my 18th birthday.
My parents were passed away when I was 4. It's a tragic incident but it doesn't bother me though*sigh*cuz I don't have any memory of my parents I don't even know how they looked like.
I have a older sister her name's sarah glacestone. She's not my blood related sister.
Sarah and gramps are the only family I've got. Max williams my gramps.
He's a world renowned archeologist. He's always immersed in the excavations, language decoding, historical research and so on…
According to my sister when I was 4 my parents me and sarah went on a road trip but suddenly out of nowhere a black flash covered the car's front view then brakes were failed and then…*car crashes*.
"ALEX! open your eyes don't you dare close them please if you I won't forgive " sarah was slapped me until the rescue team arrived.
That incident changed her very personality. cold ,distant even to our aunt she completely avoided talking normally except with me. When I am around her she's like a cheerful caring and a loving person but on the other side she's isolating herself unable to digest the death of our parents. Where as me on the flipside I was confused what's going on I was scared of looking people at the hospital. Then my gramps Max williams came and confronted me.
That's the first time I saw my gramps. He took me in and raised me all by himself. As I mentioned earlier about he's being a archeologist he lives in a research based . The very base is located in the forest, so which means this is how I spent my 14 years in the forest.
Due to the accident sarah lived with her aunt.
Sarah and gramps doesn't get along they are like oil and water.
Despite living her aunt she visits me every once in a month.
I also picked up my intrest in this archeological stuff . I often help gramps during the digging and decoding stuffs.
I've made some friends within the forest.
Simon, he's a hamster and stella , she's a eagle.
These are my best friends.
Simon , he's kinda cheeky and funny guy with daring heart and he's a complete glutton.
Where as stella, she's a majestic eagle wise responsible and protects me and Simon from the snakes and other dangerous animals. The truth is for some reason I can communicate with animals even gramps was amazed.
On 6th September which is my 18th birthday gramps gave me a odd looking mysterious pendant as gift. He gently placed that pendant around my neck and said " Alex listen carefully" he said" no matter what happens to me never lose this pendant. It's valuable than my very own life. Understand?"." Umm…gramps is this pendant some kind of ———" I started to ask but his face turned tensed and he shut my mouth with his hand. "No don't ask anything " he said quietly"not yet ".
After saying those words the situation because silent for few moments.
"I am leaving tonight" he said "Africa. An excavation. You will be moving out from here to your aunt's place tonight "
"What!? Why?" I protested.
"ALEX! NO MORE QUESTIONS!" he yelled" just don't think of disobeying my words if you have any ounce of respect for me then leave this place tonight without any further delay "
After seeing him this tensed I lost my words and stood still.
That moment I observed something's not going well with him.
Gramps packed his tools and ancient manuscripts and left the base in a hurry.
While packing a old book fell from his bag. I took it up and his it within my shirt.
"Happy birthday my grandson " he wished me with a faint smile as if something's gonna happen.
After few minutes he left sarah and our aunt came and picked me.
"Happy birthday alex" my sister and aunt wished me.
As my gramps wished I moved to my aunt's house which is in LA
Simon and stella moved with me.
Well this is how I have lived my 14 years in that forest.
By this you all got it right that I am not a regular kid.
Well now I am in LA .
"Hey lil'bro " sarah called me " from tomorrow onwards you will be attending the ARC academy."
"AR- what?" I stumbled upon her sudden words.
"Yup starting tomorrow you will be attending the ARC academy which is a top class academy for young historical students like you ….." she yapped for an hour about the academy.
I went to my room in the upstairs and locked the door then I took the book which I picked up back in the gramps bag.
