The Adventures of a Sword

Chapter 14

The kids were sitting in their hotel room and watching a movie.
    "What are you doing, Arnie?" asked Jordan.
    "I'm writing in my journal," replied Arnie. He continued writing.

    Okay, this is Arnie speaking. This is my journal. So today, something not so chill happened. At the Statue of Liberty, Jordan, Olivia, Gary, and I split up to find the leaves that are apparently going to take down Emperor Ginold. But we were being followed by his nasty henchman who calls himself Balthazar. I ran around, because, well, I was looking for the leaves, and some people thought I was crazy. I thought I found one, but at the moment I picked it up, the leaf withered, and the sword says that the purple leaves can never wither, so the one that I found must have been fake. All of a sudden, Balthazar jumped out and started chasing me. I tried throwing rocks at him, but he's literally fought dragons before, so throwing rocks at him is like a two year old throwing paper airplanes at a dinosaur.
    So I decided that the only solution was to RUN. Run like the wind. I finally outran him, and I hid inside of a building. I could still hear his footsteps, though, so I went inside of a bathroom and hid there.
    SECONDS later, I heard Balthazar coming into the bathroom.
    "WHERE ARE YOU, YOU ****!!! ****!! ****!! ****!!" Balthazar screamed.
    And it went on like that for a while. He continuously punched the wall, swore, and threatened to rip my head off.
    At some point, I did something so stoopid that I forgot how to spell stoopid.
    I screamed, "I'm in here, BUTTHEAD!!"
    "I knew it!" Balthazar said, victoriously. "I so very knew it!"
    I literally jumped over the stalls, shoved Balthazar into a wall, and sprinted out of the bathroom. Unfortunately for me, Balthazar can run around ninety miles per hour, so I did the insane. I climbed on top of the Statue of Liberty. Balthazar and several other people were looking at me like I was crazy, in which I admit, I was. Then, I noticed a purple leaf floating in the bay next to the Statue of Liberty, and the leaf glowed every five seconds. I decided to do another crazy thing. You know what I did? Guess. No, I did not poop my pants. No, I did not start throwing bricks at people. No, I did not break down and cry in front of everyone. I jumped off the statue. That's right, you heard me. I jumped off the statue and landed in the water. The moment I hit the water, the purple leaf flew into my hands. It was a success! I proceeded to climb out of the water, punched a person from behind, and blame it on Balthazar. Because of that, a cop arrived and arrested him for assault.
    Afterwards, Jordan, Olivia, Gary, and I went into a hotel.

    "Did you really jump off the Statue of Liberty?" Jordan asked Arnie.
    "Jordan!" Arnie exclaimed. "Why are you reading my journal over my shoulder?"
    "Because," Jordan said, "you jumped off the Statue of Liberty today. Why would anyone do that?"
    "So I can find the leaf," said Arnie.
    "And also, you lied. You told us that you found the leaf in a trash can," Jordan said.
    "You really fell for that one, huh?" said Arnie.
    Jordan decided to go to the bathroom.
