Two Sides

Chapter 11: The grin of the ego

     I looked at the demon flying toward us, he had a grin I knew very well. The grin of someone who has never lost a fight. The smile of someone cocky and undefeated. As I sean could read my mind he said, " this guy's probably a five year, came out in 2015!" That answered my question. He was four years old and he looks like he's never lost a fight. The demon dived down at us with, what looked to be a big iron club. It dived towards sean but he saw it coming. The club flew past him and the club of the demon was headed for my skull. I consentrated for a moment, focused. I stared at the club and it was as if time slowed, it got slower and slower and then it stopped. " Yes!" I said to myself.
    Abbigale came out of hiding. "Yeah I just slowed down time! Just wanted to give you some tips when your fighting!" She was smiling at me so sweetly, I couldn't help but smile... Or try too at least. "What's that?" She looked at me and started to explain. "Well, first off, you are one of the few who can believe this can happen. The fact that you can pretty much stop time is amazing! Well, not stop, necessarily, you just speed up the signals in your brain to make time seem slower than it is. I tried moving my body and it moved extremely slowly. Abbigale continued, " you can go into this state and prepare yourself for what you wanna do next, but your body doesn't really move until you get faster. Try to attack that demon."  I continued to attempt to smile and said, "thought you'd never ask!" I tried to slow down my brain waves again to about double the normal speed and the iron club started moving again. The club was completely blunt so I just held out my hand and grabbed it and held on tight. I set my brain waves back to normal and the demon wasn't expecting it. It held onto the club with all it's might but he lost controll and fell to the ground. With a loud thud. The demon had been defeated and Sean was looking at me like I was a ghost.
