As I was writing the outline for a story I had planned to make, I came a across another book in the book store that was a lot like it and I was incredibly discouraged. I've been wanting to write a novel for a while and I thought that was the first time I had a real chance at creating one. Now that I have stopped the outline I've been attempting to dig a creative story in my imagination. I could not think of one thing until this. It was really tough trying to think of something slightly original, but as I thought about this story I think I learned to like it more. Here is somewhat of the plot, though it will be much more developed as it goes on:
The protagonist in this story is a prim-and-proper, stubborn boy, brought up in a very rich family. He has never even caught a glimpse of what life is really about. He's has never faced a terrible conflict. The biggest decision he has ever encountered was whether to go to here or there for private school. Then one day his life is totally flipped, when he accidentally kills one of the most revered people in his town. Though he is not caught he is faced with the most agonizing guilt he has ever imagined. He has horrific nightmares and even imagines killing himself. But he won't go to the authorities, for fear he will have no future. Instead, late that week, during a silent night, a creature enters his room. His paranoia doesn't allow him to scream. He believes this is what he deserves, and yet, he is still in a dream-state. The man is costumed in all black and has a mask hiding his face. The man tells the boy he has brought balance to the world by killing that so-revered man. The boy is in horror and the shadow of a man asks him to join his society, telling the boy his guilt, his paranoia, will all be released. He goes and is brought to this man's hideout, where he finds others like him. There are no more than 50 of people like this man. He tells the boy their ways, of restoring the balance of good and evil. They say if there was only evil the human race would go extinct, but if there was only good, the Earth would be destroyed. He tells the boy how they believe that in someway evil is good, because it brings balance. Now the boy is forced to stay with them as he struggles to accept his fate. He is brought on treacherous journeys where he must assassinate and kill. As he suffers more guilt and realizes his destiny, he is plagued with the thought of having no future, and realizes he might have to accept what he is.
