Chapter 1

Reaching over was the hardest thing I have ever done, it felt as if my shoulder was going to fall of. I pushed my arm a little farther, just so much that my finger started bleeding from what felt like a newly sharpened blade. I could feel it cutting my perfectly white smooth skin. Grabbing it I realized it was a sword, but not just any sword. I grabbed the sword as if it was life of death, I was holding it with a strong grip. Nothing could pull it out of my hand. WHOSH, I swung the sword just missing the black creature flying above my head. The sword fell to the ground. It was coming back towards me, this black creature I couldn't see what it was.

I had to think fast I grabbed the sword which was beside me, I pulled it in the air leaving a bleeding scratch on the left side of my face. The blade went right through the creature.

" Why didn't it dye." I asked my self in a small whisper.

That's when I hit me, if I couldn't kill it I had to save myself, I did the only thing I could think RUN. I turned around and bolted in any direction I could go, I had to run quick, I seen it coming back for me. I didn't realize I was still holding the sword till I looked at it.

I seen a symbol, it looked like three spirals, I touched it only to feel the burning of my skin.I think I recognized the symbol from my greek class. I think it meant Hero, or it could have meant darkness.(I get them confused a lot,) But I'm almost 100% positive that it might mean darkness.

I could hear the sound out the creature flying faster towards me, I dropped the sword and ran fast as I could. I turned my head briefly just to see an out line of this figure again. Soddenly my feet were bare and my feet were slamming on the cold rocks and dirt between my toes. I felt a sudden pain in my toe,

I jolted forward, I was in my cozy bed at the end of the hall. It was only a dream, one of the weird one I have almost every week. Some were weirder than others and I've been getting in pain after some but my mom says its from me sleep walking.

When I was little I , apparently sleep walked, once I walked to the fridge and ate the cup cakes and there was none left in the morning, but I wouldn't do that, I think my sister was trying to cover up for herself.

I moved my aching legs so they were hanging off the bed and just about to touch the floor. I jumped down almost falling with the pain. My feet were sore, I was trying to think about what I could have done to make them hurt this bad.

I turned my head looking at the clock it was it was almost 7:00, I had to leave in thirty minutes. I jumped out of bed and went to the kitchen to have breakfast, grabbed some bread and threw it in the toaster. I ran and got dressed while the bread was cooking.

I was wearing gray baggy pants with the number 87 on it, and a dark blue sweater, one of my favourites. I brushed my hair. My light brown hair soft as silk, the hair brush went right though it. I pulled it up in a pony tail, as soon as I was done I heard the POP, of the toaster. I ran grabbed some peanut butter and threw some on my toast. It was delicious, I gobbled it down like it was nothing. While I was brushing my teeth I reached over and pushed the home button on my iPad only to see the screen pop up with 7:27 in big bold letters.

The sun was getting bright by the time I got outside at my bus, which was right at the end of my circular patterned drive way. I waited about 3 minutes till my bus made a shrieking noise and came to a stop, it was right on schedule. As soon as I took the first step on the bus, the doors closed and the bus took off almost putting me on my knees.
