Sneak preview of my book

Hi again! Today I am going to post the prologue and the first chapter of a book I am writing. I am going to post them chapter by chapter like Charles Dickens did (but he did it in the newspaper).
I am writing this book in the style of James Patterson's Maximum Ride series, since I enjoyed it so much. Here we go:


WORLD WAR III
Soon to be a minor motion picture!!!!

Prologue

8 months ago, Rob and Cindy Parkson went on a camping trip with Terry and Wendy Jeppreson and never came back. They left behind their children, Jeff and Mark Parkson and Cobi and Jack Jeppreson. Several days later, all the kids met. The Parkson kids changed their names: Jeff became Max, and Mark became Fang. They all got rid of their last names, so you reader, can forget all about those…







Chapter 1

Max, Cobi, Fang, and Jack were practicing sword fighting in front of their house. They didn’t have real swords, just sticks, and Max had a wooden dagger, but they weren’t playing. They were twirling and thrusting, stabbing and slicing, and parrying and blocking. If there was someone watching them, they would have noticed that they were as good as the pros. All of the kids were strangely stronger than grown adults and were all good at different things. Max, the oldest at fourteen, was really extra good at fighting and was the leader. Fang, at twelve, was good at making things like their treefort/house and fixing their weapons. Cobi, at eleven, could climb almost anything. And Jack, at nine, can talk to and sense animals when they were near. The four kids were practicing in case, living in the woods; they met a bear or something like that. Jack suddenly tensed and stopped fighting. “What?” I said. (Hi. “I” is me, Max. I wrote this book. And just clear up, I am a Boy. Not a girl. We’re all boys. Stop asking so many questions and just read.) “There are some cows stampeding our way.” Jack said, “That would be cattle, Jack.” I said. Oh Great. A stampede. Just what we need. “FIGHT POSITION!!” I yelled, and we ran to our positions. Me in front, Fang in back, and Cobi and Jack to my left and right, hiding behind trees for the element of surprise. After several minutes of fighting, all the cattle had been scared away. We didn’t kill them; we don’t ever kill unless we have to, for food, shelter, yada yada yada. The ground shook. “I think I know what caused the stampede, guys.” I said, pointing to the forest, “is that a bear?” Cobi asked, “that’s way to big to big to be a bear.” I said as a thirty foot(ish) Bigfoot-like monster came crashing out of the woods. “ATTACK!!!” I cried, and we all ran towards two different legs that looked strangely like trees. After several different tactics, I, being in extreme pain from being thrown five feet through the air, screamed “FANG! GET TO THE CROWS NEST AND SHOOT IT IN THE EYE OR SOMETHING!!!” he did as I said and shot it in the eye. It fell with a crash, throwing all of us but fang flying though the air. we all walked cautiously towards it. “What is it?” asked fang, “I think it’s a Sasquatch.” I said. “I never believed in Sasquatches until now.” Said Jack, “me neither” I said. We walked around it several times looking for clues. After several rounds, I saw a huge piece of paper curled up in is big fist. “Look at this!” I said, and with some difficulty pulled it out without ripping it. And I read it out: “If you are reading this, your ancestors are roman gladiators - and roman gods.


well, thats all for now,
Bye!
