devils on the doorstep
Friotdanti, a small, junky city hidden by large mountains which stand in France. This town, living in flith and poverty, never knew what was coming at it. But our story starts centuries ago, back before anything was made of wires and metal. A small village in France, where children ran bearfoot through the dirty earth, and young ladies picked flowers for thier mothers by hand.
One evening, a young girl was wandering around cliffs above their village. Stopping to rest, she sat at the edge of the rocky drop off. Something tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned around, nothing was there, except for a little black book. The book had no title, and looked fairly old. The binding almost out of place. Picking it up, the girl flipped through the pages. Blank. Blank. Blank. Finally, she reached the last page. Words, scrawled in fancy lettering, read "Check Yes Or No."
Knowing only a small amount of langauge from her mother, she took a rock nearby and checked the box 'Yes' out of curiousity. She was not seen again.
The news spread through France quickly. Horseriders were paid over-time to deliver the news of the Black Book. People were to keep children inside until further notice. The kids were disappearing suddenly, and in place of them were small black books, the ending page having the only writing. Adults began to worry, and gathered to discuss what to do. They couldn't keep their children inside forever! Try hard as they might, the towns folks could not figure out what was happening, and why only children where being attacked. They warned the children not to get near ANY black-looking books. Still, more and more children were going missing. Soon, people started to gather pitch forks and come complaining to the mayors and goveners all over France. Every village, every town, was soon filled with complaining adults. No one knew what to do.'
A solution soon came. 3 monks by the name of Rishu, Hifer, and Kimoli wandered into France, coming into France for the reason of the Black Book tradgedy. They told the people they would help fix the mess, and make their suffering stop. But there was a price. Every parent whom had a child taken away must put a drop of blood into a chest. People came all over France just to prick their fingers and drop a small amount of blood into the chest that the monks had. Once the last drop of blood was shed, and 2 chests filled to the brim with blood, the monks vanished. But from then on, there was no more disappearences.
Where did the monks go? What happened to the children? No one knew. This tradgey was so horrible, even the textbooks would not display the story. Children grew up not knowing about the incident. Now, in the city of Friotdanti comes the epidemic again. But this time, whomever picks up the notebook does not disappear. They turn into monsters, and carry around their small book as a life line, those who do not have it on their person at all times, quickly perish. But whoever gets tapped on the shoulder and look at the book are forced into a trance to grab the book. If you check yes or no, you're fate is to be turned into a devilish beast, fitting your personalities. Wheither they didn't check anything at all, they still turn into zombies, vampires, werewolves, etc. The modern world doesn't believe what is happening, but the town knows. So far, the Black Books haven't spread anywhere but in the town. But this is a large town, too, even if it lives in poor conditions. Who will be next?
