The Wind

Day 10: The little light burns out

The boy was so cold lying out in the snow all alone. He felt de javu remembering the time he was alone e on the ground in that cement place. Now he was just alone in the snow. "Buntheow???" Nathen cried out, shivering as he stood up. No one was there. Nothing but his own echo replied. He walked around in this forest as a strong wind pushed him around and pulled him back. "Why does Buntheow always leave me, and why do i fall asleep every time?" Nathen complained to himself. Then he saw bird claw prints. "They could be Buntheow's" Nathen reasoned. Now you see, he was so alone that he began to feel afraid. Then he fell. Meanwhile, as this was happening, Zal was waiting in the snow- covered tree to strike Nathen. He wanted all the power he could get and his hunger showed even more than ever in his eyes. Now that he had Leo and his vast imagination which you must understand that imagination I this dimension was the most amazing and powerful thing this being why children were the most powerful and were chosen to be the rulers and warriors against the darkness. Now of course there were people who had an imagination that helped the darkness with evil ideas, but Leo's was of good. Zanth was no longer getting weaker as before when his imagination of evil began to fade, he now had Leo's bright child mind but that bright mind was gonna a be turned dark. He just had to weaken him and it wouldn't be long u til Leo caved. Nathen was scared as he got up of the ground, brushing the snow off of his clothes. He felt so alone it was almost like a million eyes were hiding in the shadows ready to eat him. This was partly true, he was going to be devoured if he didn't escape. Zal jumped out of the tree, and silently jumped from one tree to the next away from Nathen. "No I don't want to do this!!" Zal complained to himself in fear."shut up!!!" He replied in a darker and evil tone. "Now Leo, that is your name right?? Well I want you to simply imagine a monster to destroy people like in the movies. Wouldn't that be so cool?" He persuaded. "Umm no I think I don't want to." Then after the struggle. Zanth took complete control and suddenly it was as if Leo was passed out, he was no longer able to use the strength needed to even slightly control Zal. Then the hand of them both went up and pointed in tje distance to a mountain. "It's there!" He smiled. In his whole 10 foot height. Nathen continued walking as he felt a bit better. He saw a small brass key on the ground. Picking it up he felt it's instant chill. However, it was much warmer than it should have been lying in the snow for so long. As if it had just been dropped. As Nathen was looking at the key, he felt the medicine wearing off again. And so... The world began to fade away like s dream. And the angels sang quieter than ever almost not heard but they were there and would be heard even only quietly. Then Nathen heard his dad speaking. He felt him shake him. Nathen was now awake and rapidly coming back to reality. Now opening his eyes and squinting at the light, he focused now. "Did you fall asleep??" His dad asked. "Yeah sorry I guess I was just tired from all of what happened yesterday. They were home, and ready for the party. Now Nathen didn't feel so excited for it after losing Leo. But he didn't understand. Was Leo really gone?? And Cassie to??
