Myth Of Reality

Taken

Amelia was at home that day, enjoying the peace and quiet. Her two little brothers were away on a trip that day, and they wouldn't be back until later that night.

No one knew more than her that this was an opportunity for success.

Amelia called her friends and told them to meet her and her house in 5 minutes.

They agreed and hung up.

A few minutes later, her friends walked into Amelia's house.

She told then how her brothers were away, and how they could have a party!

They all looked excited because this rarely happened.

Amelia made some popcorn and put out brownies. They then set up a game console and played some games.

A few hours passed, and they all went home. And then a few minutes after they left, her brothers walked in the house.

"I bet you were bored without us," Logan said.

"Of course she was, dummy!" Lucas said as he elbowed him.

After they finished bickering, they hugged Amelia and went to the kitchen to get food.

"WHO ATE THE BROWNIES!?" Logan yelled.

Amelia chuckled to herself. "It was the boogy monster!" She said.

Logan looked scared, but Lucas laughed at him. "You know, it's not real, right?"

"Oh right," Logan said.

They all laughed, and she carried them up to their beds.

They fell asleep almost instantly, so Amelia went to her room. On the way there, she looked in her parent's room, which had been empty for a year now, and sighed.

Ever since the accident, Amelia had been taking care of her brothers on her own.

Family members offered to help, but she remembered her parents telling her not to trust them.

So she didn't.

Every time they came over, they tried to convince her to let them take over. To let them take custody of her brothers.

But she wouldn't let them.

Amelia fought through the temptations of an easier life and strived to protect her mother's wishes.

She got a job, which wasn't very hard, because she was an A+ student, and graduated with high honors.

Amelia was snapped back from her memories by a small noise coming from the kitchen.

She grabbed a baseball bat and sneakily walked down the stairs to the kitchen.

As the kitchen slowly came into sight, Amelia saw what was making the noise.

It was a rat.

Amelia sighed with relief. At least it wasn't---

Just then, the rat grew larger, and it turned pink. It's glowing yellow eyes pierced right through 

her skull.

Amelia backed away in fear, and the creature grew closer and closer. She was about to charge and hit it with a bat when she saw Logan behind the beast.

Amelia's eyes widened at the sight of her loved one. Fear wore Logan's face.

He tried to move back but stepped on a bag laying on the floor. The creature looked back at the sound and suddenly charged at him!

Amelia tried to hit it with her bat, but the creature got there first.

It opened a portal and threw her brother in. Right as the portal disappeared, Amelia hit it with the bat, and it dissipated into smoke.

Amelia started crying silent tears. This was all her fault. If she had just made sure he went to sleep. If she had kept them out of the house.

If she had given them up to their relatives.

As soon as she had that thought, she saw a light coming down from outside the window.

A few seconds later the doorbell rang. Amelia inched forward towards the door.

She grabbed the handle slowly and opened the door fast. The was about to swing, but it looked like just an average person.

She lowered the bat slowly as she saw his face.

It wore a look of peace that made her feel safe and calm, even after all that had happened.

"Who are you?" Amelia asked.

"I'm codename#Adam," The man said, "but you can call me Adam."

"Well, what do you want?" Amelia said, a bit harshly. In her defense, everything she worked for so long had been taken from her.

"I understand your brothers have just been taken by the CPE." He said.Amelia had a confused look on her face, so Adam explained that CPE meant Clan of the Pink Esea.

"Oh.." Amelia said, "are they..?"

"Your brothers still alive if that's what you're wondering."

"Wait.." Amelia said slowly.

She ran upstairs to her brothers' bedroom, and saw the other one wasn't there either!Amelia ran back down to the door and faced the man with watery eyes.

"How do I get them back?"

"Join us," Adam said, "we are the Keepers of Felworn Prison. We keep the peace by locking up the evilest villains. We will get your brothers back, but you have to do something for us first."

He showed her a picture of a boy.

"His name," Adam started, "is Myth. He needs your help."

Amelia thought about it. She loved her brothers and wanted them back, a lot.

"I'll do it," she said, "anything else I should know?"

"You get a codename," Adam said, "I now pronounce you, codename#Thera."
