The World Beyond

The Marksman's Back.

Jake looked as the blue and red storm clouds came the way to his school. He has never saw clouds like that ever in his life. If you need more explanation on how the clouds look, they look like big red and blue cotton candy with purple lightning coming out of it.

Jake muttered : What the...

I guess even Jake is a little invisible to Sarah too because until he said that, she didn't notice him.

Sarah looked sad. Like she just got heart broken. Like she saw a million people die right before her eyes. Like her best friend just died in front her eyes. But when she saw Jake, that all just went away. Now she looked like the person she loved, loved her back. Like she just saved a million people. Like she just saved her best friend.

Sarah : Sorry! I just got.. hungry. I usually don't get hungry when you're not around, but today when I looked at those clouds, it reminded me of food. So I got hungry. Sorry! Again..

Jake : That's fine if you didn't eat my lunch to.

Sarah : I didn't.

Jake : Ok good. I need to tell Jack something real quick, okay? Then I'll join you for lunch.

If any of you that are wondering, "Well oh hey? Where the heck are the teachers?". Well, their aren't any. They get self learned. The staff give them books, and put an assignment on the board everyday. They give them thirty minutes to a hour depending on how hard the question is.

Anyways, Jake headed to Jack. They talked a bit about the assignment and went over each other's answers. Then finally Jake told Jack about the nurse getting all scared and such.

Jack : Maybe your wound was really scary. Or it was just your face.

Jake : Ha-ha. Very funny. Anyways though, to add on to the craziness, these weird clouds are here.

Jack : What weird clouds?

Jake : What? You can't see them?

Jack : I think you're just seeing them because of the lost of blood man.

Jake : But.. no. Sarah could see them, and she didn't get injured at all--

Jack : Whatever man, I gotta' go home now see you later!

Jake : But wa-- ok. Yeah ok, bye. See you monday.

Jack left so he went back to Sarah and enjoy their lunch for a few more minutes before they headed home. Jake didn't understand why Jack couldn't see the clouds. Maybe Jack was pulling a trick on him? No. Jake has been his friend ever sense kindergarten. He knew him. He knew the face of trickery on Jack's face when he was pulling a prank.

Jake let the thought ago. He and Sarah left school when he saw the clouds moving faster. When he and Sarah got home, he couldn't help but notice the clouds almost following him. He could swore he saw those clouds go to the way to school. Now why would it be coming the way to his house? Jake didn't know what was going on, but he knew who was behind it. That marksman had the same exact colour robes. Then one of Jake's most famous "Ding!"s popped up in his head. Magic. He stepped outside of their house and shot a purple flame from his hand to the giant cloud. The cloud dispersed and went away. He had no idea what just happened other than the fact that he and his sister is safe.

Until he saw the marksman again pointing a iron tipped arrow at Jake.
