You might be wondering what happened after the leopard viciously attacked me. Well, I fainted yup you heard that correctly when I needed to be brave, I fainted. While I was in my mid battle faint session, I had a dream, and it was the most disturbing dream I ever had. My dream started on a high note me, and my parents were sitting around a campfire toasting marshmallows. My mom held my hand, but for some reason I was staring at the ground. My dad made a smore and handed it to me, but when I looked up at my dad I was startled. My dad looked like a zombie with worms coming out of the holes in his skin. I tried to tell mom what I saw but she was a zombie to. My ghoulish parents tried to grab me, but I sprinted like a dog was chasing me and ran right into a cliff. I stopped myself from two steps before the massive cliff and tried to control my panic. Yet something was urging me to give up, lose control and jump. I tried to resist, but the voice in my head overcame me and I jumped.
When I woke up, I was in shackles in front of a throne which was made with gold. The throne looked like it was telling me to kneel in front of it and know my place. I looked around the throne room trying to look for an escape. While I was looking around, I heard a whisper “psst, Jamie behind you!”. I turned around to see who was there, but I found none other than Jeremy. “Jamie, we have to get out here, people are becoming mindless zombies” said Bob (or Jeremy). Bob sneaked towards me and tried to break my shackless. It did not work. He tried to break it and the thing barely got scratched. After minutes of trying, we found out that the shackles needed a key. We looked around but found nothing useful. I tried to wriggle my feet out, but to no prevail. While I was trying, Bob heard a loud noise and said “Shush, did you hear that”. I nodded and pretended to faint. Bob rushed out and hid. The noise was getting closer and closer. The noise sounded like a storm with a lot of whispers. I kept my head down as something entered the room. “Now, Jamie White no need to act faint you are already at face to face with your demise” The voice sounded like someone running nails down a black board. I moved my face to see who it was and was shocked to find….. it was Ms. Jones sitting on the throne with leopards on either side of her arms.
“You know that your father knew this day would come” Ms. Jones said looking amused. Wait did she just say my father? “How do you know my father!” I demanded. She looks at me slyly and said, “Me and your father were after the same thing, the phoenix”. “I have had enough of this phoenix. Everyone wants me to be the one, but I don’t want to” I said furiously. Ms. Jones let a bloodcurdling laugh and said “Exactly kid, I brought you here to help you. Your family has the blood of the phoenix in your veins, that means only you know where the mythical bird and I need you to tell me where it is”. She proceeded to get up from her chair and unlock my shackles and also make a PORTAL (I think she’s a witch) “Answer this question Jamie White, will you help me capture the phoenix and enslave humanity or will you be hunted by my leopards?” Now I need to really think about this, be a hero or help capture the bird that took my parents. If I help enslave humanity a lot of people will lose a lot and I don’t think my parents would want that, but I lost my childhood to that bird so why should I care. I need to do the right thing.
“I can’t tell you where it is”, I said looking into Ms. Jones’s eyes. “Well then run before my leopards take your life!” and with that the floor around me cracked and I screamed as I fell into darkness.
