"Do we have to?"

By: Katherine Rawson

It was a crisp, cool spring day at Leestown Math Science and Technology Magnet School...(LMST) Teachers were getting ready to give the 8th graders another open response question. Little did they know today was going to be extreamly odd.

Katherine sat in the computer lab doing what she loved to do, read fanfics on FF.net. Today she was reading"Talismans Portal" by one her friends named Riven or Digi_riven. She was reading outloud, for there was no one in the room at the time.

She read outloud the spell used to bring Riven into the Slayers universe. Not knowing something like that could happen to her.

She read the incantation slowly like the character Gourry would. when she finished she felt a little tingle go down her back, which was not odd to her.

She continued to read the fic then walked out of the Computer Lab to get a soda from the soda machine in the front foier.

When she got back she felt as though something just wasn't right. She looked at her computer, the one she had been using and noticed someone sitting there.

He looked kind of odd. His hair was an odd color. It came down to his shoulders and was a deep purple color.

"Wait one minute." Katherine said to herself. " I know him from somewhere...but where..OH yeah..That Xelloss Mettallium...XELLOSS??"

" Oi Xelloss-san?" She finally said wondering if he'd answer.

The man turned around, his eyes closed and he had an evil aura to him.

"Oh Konnichiwa, and who might you be." he said floating away from my computer to look me over.

" My...My name?" Katherine said shyly "Well of course...you know my name why shouldn't I know yours" Xelloss said...matter of factly.

"My name is Katherine and I'm and 8th grader here and I have classes in about 10 minutes." Katherine said quite annoyed.

"OO Fiesty. You have potential Katherine come with me." Xelloss said taking ahold of her wrist.

Katherine blushed as Xelloss teleported them to who knows where.
