As I opened my eyes I saw all around me fire, smoke, people running around in the village, the bandits that started the fire, and my older brother get cut down.
"No!" I yelled trying to get up to help fight, one of the bandits heard me yell and said "Huh, your still alive kid?"
I couldn't get up to help, I had twisted my right ankle and my left wrist.
"Don't try to get up," he said coming up to me "I'll cut you up with out a struggle.
"How could you just go around killing people and destroying towns?" I asked looking up at the bandit.
"Don't try to stall your death kid," he said raising his sword.
"Sir, the knights are coming," one of the bandits said to the bandit about to kill me.
"Alright let's get out of this place" he said walking away. I sighed and then heard the sound of horses galloping on the dirt road to the village. I struggled to get up so they would know at least one person made it out alive, but I heard some gasping and looked over from where it was coming from. My brother was still alive but barely. I half wiggled half crawled to him to see if I could help him.
"Brother are you ok?" I asked turning him on his side.
"Yeah did anyone else make it?" he asked with a rasp in his voice.
"I don't know I twisted my ankle so I can't walk," I said as the knights road into the village. "I need help over here," I managed to yell to one of the priests. One of them saw us and came over. She took off her hood and asked who was hurt more. "My brother" I said looking at him just to see the light go out in his eyes. "Do something fast," I said frantically.
She closed her eyes and chanted, "O God, hear my plea, heal this son of thee and restore his life," a white light came from her hand and went into his chest healing his cut. He coughed and blinked his eyes,
"What happened?" he asked looking at the priestess, "Who are you?" he asked even more confused.
"I am one priestess of the castle, my name is..."
"Dude wake up, mom is getting mad," my brother said shaking me like an earthquake was happening. I smacked his hands away from me and stretched my hand out for my glasses. I put them on and I looked up to see my older brother grinning at me like he was going to do something to me.
"Don't even, it's to early to mess around." I said trying to push him out of the way so I could get up.
"Now why do you think I'm going to do anything?" he asked looking down at me.
"Your doing that smile," I said looking at the clock. "Crap it's 12:30."
"Yea why do you think mom is getting mad at you?" he asked moving so I could get dressed. I stood up and opened my shirt drawer and something jumped out make me jump back a foot.
"Wow, should have saw that coming bro," he said behind me trying not to laugh.
I turned around to see him leaving out the door laughing. "What ever," I mumbled and got dressed. I went down stairs and walked right into yelling.
"David where us your brother!?" My mom yelled.
"I'm right here mom," I said rolling my eyes.
"School starts tomorrow and you are not going to miss the first day because you slept in," my mom yelled. "Now come eat, I'm going to get your school supplies."
"Yes mom," I said going to the kitchen. "Oh don't forget I want gel pins not ink."
"Yes I know. You and your sister are weird about that," she replied. "Speaking of your sister, have you seen her at all today?" mom asked David.
"You know now that you mention it, I haven't seen her since yesterday afternoon," David said.
"Well I'll call her later, bye boys see you in a bit," mom said walking out the door. "Bye mom" we said in unison.
"You ready for middle school and the toilets little bro?" David said putting me in a headlock. "You know I could show you what a swirly is like now," he said jokingly
"Yea, yea I get it I'm a nerd, and I doubt ill get any swirlies," I said fixing my glasses. "Plus mom won't get me contacts."
"Hey brats where's mom?"
"She went to go get the rest of the supplies, Savanna."
"Ugh, now I can't ask her if I can go to my friend's house." she said walking out of the kitchen.
"More like boyfriend's house and have him stick his tongue down her throat," David said with disgust.
"So, what's middle school like? Is it hard or is it pretty easy to do?" I asked while putting my cup in the sink.
"Uh it depends on your teachers. Oh mom wants us waking up at 6:30 tomorrow, ok?" David asked.
"Ok" I said grabbing my helmet.
"Where do you think your going?" David asked grabbing the back of my shirt, "I'm going on a ride, got a problem with it," I said in a so what tone.
"Uh yeah I do, mom doesn't know your going out. But then again your a nerd so no one would want to hang out with you anyways." David said.
"Oh haha very funny," I replied yanking my shirt from his hand.
"Dude calm down I was kidding," David said grabbing his helmet.
"Where do you think your going," I said in a smoking voice with a smile on my face.
"No where in particular..." he said with a smirk.
"Ok so meet up at the gas station in an hour?" I asked, "Hour and a half, we... I mean I will need a little more time." David said starting to blush.
"Ohh blush much," I said walking out the door.
