I was standing on top of a cliff. Down below were were wooden spikes, ready to go through me if I fell. A voice urged me to jump.
"What's wrong? Don't be scared. You'll be alright." the voice seemed to come from the sky, "If you can't even do this, how are you supposed to save those you love?"
"But I might die. Plus, I-I'm afraid of heights." I admitted.
"You must overcome your fear soon." the voice said, "Or you will lose everyone you care about."
Then I realized that this was all just a dream. Suddenly everything began to blacken and I heard someone calling my name.
"Jake! Jake! Wake up! Please!"
The voice sounded familiar. Mom.
When my vision turned completely black, I awoke.
"Jake! Jake! Wake Up!"
"What is it mom?" I said sleepily.
She yanked my arm and I fell off the bed. I landed on the ground hard. When I stood up, I got a good look at her face. She looked frightened.
"What's wrong?!" I asked.
She ran to my closet and grabbed a pair of black jeans and a red t-shirt. "Get dressed. Now!"
I quickly obeyed and put them on as fast as I could. What happened to her? She's never acted like this any of the eleven years I've been on this planet. When I was dressed, I looked at the clock.
3:53 A.M.! Why in the world are we up at this hour? Before I could ask anything, she grabs my arm and pulls me out the door. She runs through the hallway and I struggle to balance since I kept jerking forward because she was still holding my hand.
When het outside, she digs in her pocket and brings out her car keys. She then sprints toward out car which was parked two house to the right due to the cars our rich neighbors, the Durksons had. I was still jerking forward by the time we reached the car. She lets go of my hand, finally, and goes around to sit in the driver's seat.
"Get in!" she yells.
"OK, OK." I said as I tried to open the passanger's seat door, "It's locked!"
She gets in and opens it from the inside. I quickly open it and get in. Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm supposed to be thirteen to sit in the passanger's seat blah blah blah......... but mom looked like the world was ending.
Before I could close the door, she hits the gas petal and speeds off.
I close the door and quickly put on the seat belt.
"Mom!" I yelled.
She ignored me.
"What's happening?!" I yell louder.
"They found you." she said.
"They who?!" I began to get irritated.
"The monsters." she said with a grave look on her face.
"Ha ha ha ha ha. Nice one mom." I laughed. Then I got a look at the speedometer.
We were going 160 miles per hour!
"Mom, slow down!" I yelled.
She ignored me again.
I looked out the window. The New York city lights were beautiful as always. As I looked out at the city, I caught a glimpse of a house crashing down. Next to the fallen house, I saw a giant creature. It was at least ten feet tall or more. It wore battle armor and had a giant club in its hand. The part that really caught my attention was its one eye on its face. It cant be......
