As I was going down the street hoping mom didn't go by I saw a new family moving in to the "haunted" house three houses down. There was a man and woman, obviously the parents, and a girl about my age in a white hooded robe just like the one the priestess wore in my dream. No it can't be I thought, there is no way in the universe that, that girl is the one from the dream. As I keep going to the gas station I wonder what my brother would say. He probably wouldn't believe me and say that it was just a coincidence that she looked the same as the girl in my dream. I'm getting ready to cross the bridge when a movement catches my eye, I stop my bike and take a better look. It's my brother with a girl... maybe his girlfriend. I didn't want to follow them but something told me I needed to. I take my bike and hide it under the bridge and go into the woods behind my brother and the girl. "Finally we are here," I hear the girl say with sneer. I didn't like the way she said it and apparently my brother didn't because I heard him stop and say "What was that about?" "What are you talking about, I didn't do anything," she said in a sweet but hypnotizing way. No wonder she got him to go so far into the woods, then I remember that there are ruins of and old village in the clearing. That's a romantic place to take your date, I thought following them into the clearing. "So why did we come here?" David asked looking around at the ruins with a confused look on his face. "Well sweetheart I heard that there was something here I need to find and I need your help" she said with a sneer that David obviously didn't notice. "What do you need to find?" he asked looking at her with clouded eyes, "He isn't aware that she doesn't love him" I thought as I watched from a distance just in ear shot of what was being said. "A necklace the has a picture of a dragon, my mast... I mean father wanted to know if it was here because it was a lost family heirloom." she said giving him a little smile as she walked away looking around. David puts his hand down the top of his shirt and pulled out his dragon necklace "Is this it?" he asked. "Yes, why are you wearing it?" she asked in a concerned voice. "I got it on my birthday, it was in an antique store and I had enough for it. Ever since then I've never gotten sick, it's weird." he said. "GiVe Me thAt NecKlaCe!" she yelled while turning into a weird creature. "David run!" I yelled as she morphed, at first he was confused on where he was then saw what she became turn and started running oddly faster than normal. "WHAT IS THAT THING!?" he yelled as he ran. Next thing I knew there was a blinding light and when it faded David had sprouted dragon wings and was in the are hovering above her. "Whoa that's so cool," he said as he swooped around. "Hey ugly, come and get me," he yelled as he flew up and and away from her as fast as he could. "DoN't CalL mE uGly, ComE BacK HeRe!" she screeched after him as she tried to catch up to him, as she got closer five inch claws grew out of her fingers and she started swinging them at him as she got close. "Crap she is fast," he muttered flying towards me, "Wait don't bring it over here," I yelled as I ran away from them. "Seth, what are you doing here?" he asked in confusion, "Oh well it doesn't matter," he said as he grabbed me and tried to fly high but it didn't work and we went tumbling down a hill. The wings disappeared after we got to the bottom. "Owww, that's what you call a crash landing," David said as he got up. "Not the time for your puns, let's find a spot to hide," I said as I got up. "Uhh, dude I can't walk..." he said holding his ankle. "Oh for the love of... ill help you," I said as I walked back to him to help him up. After a few minutes of silence and him hobbling we found a burnt but still standing house so we went in. "WheRe arE yOu, I waNt tO riP yoUr hEartS oUt," she said off in the distance. "Hey dude, look at this box. It's closed and untouched," David said handing me the box. The second I grab it, it unlocks and there is a ring sitting in there glowing a faint red color. "Whoa..." I said and put it on. Two little balls of fire appeared and started floating in front of us, "Master," the one on the left said. "Me?" I asked and they both replied at the same time saying "Yes, what do you need?" they asked. "Help us, we are being chased by a weird looking she-devel," my brother said looking at the balls. Then they started to morph and became little imp like creature. The one on the left said "I am Cornelius and that is Jackson, we are the guardian imps that are summoned by our master when needed." "Okay," I said and then the roof got ripped off and there she was just sitting there, but she was in her human form. "Hey, there you are, and look your brother found the ring." she said all sweetly "Now give them here." she commanded. "The ring belongs to master," Jackson said throwing a fire ball at her. "Why you little," she said and started to morph. "Not this again," David said "Do not worry, we can take care of her," Cornelius said as a little fire trident appeared in his hand. "Yea we got this," Jackson said with his little trident.  "You little fools can't defeat me!" she exclaimed and extended her claws and started slashing at the imps. They took a small step back and threw their tridents at her head and heart and burst into flames. "The undead are weak to our fire," Cornelius said. "Ill get you for this, ill be back!" she yelled as she dissolved into dust.
