Some things are stranger than they seen. Have you ever seen a flower bloom in the spring time? You think it's just nature, right? Wrong. And the sounds late at night when you can't sleep? Not the wind like adults want you to believe. I had to learn all of this the hardest way. By experiencing it.
I was just a regular, 9th grade teenager until the day I met the new kid. His name is Xavier Josh. I thought that he was good looking, but there was just something totally different about him from other boys. He has the blond, golden hair, the green-as-fresh leaves eyes, and around 5' 7". I made the mistake of thinking that he was the quiet, never does anything out of the ordinary kind of guy when he beat up one of the jocks after they tried to beat him up. I was BEYOND shocked when I saw him knock Jeff-the jock- out, along with the other jock. Some new guy that I hadn't met. Let me tell you that after that night, I stayed away from Xavier Josh.
Around the middle of the first semester, I saw something...not normal. And I did something...scary and NOT normal. I was just walking threw my back ground-which was more like a forest-when I hear a growling. I looked around and then, in the shadows, I saw this...creature. It growled at me and I froze. It creped closer to me and I realized that it looked like some mutated, half human-half lizard thing! I suddenly took off running and screaming toward my house as fast and loud as I could. The creature followed me and tackled me. I landed on my stomach, but turned fast enough to get on my back. The thing growled and started snapping at me, not 2' from my face.
I kept screaming till I finally just screamed at the top of my lungs, "Get the hell OFF OF ME!" My eyes shut and threw my eye lids, I saw a flash of light and the creature was gone. In an instant, I opened my eyes and saw the thing at least 5 feet from me, gasping and talking in some strange language. How was I not dead? What was that light? And what in the would WAS GOING ON? The thing spoke English in a hiss. "We ssshall rule and you will ssserve us. Your death will be our victory. Thingss are not yet finished." And it combusted.
I was froze. My arm was bleeding, it was hard to breath, and I couldn't understand what had just happened. I tried to sit up, failing the first 2 times. When I finally managed, I had to keep my hand on a tree for balance. I had to get home and get help incase there were more of those things. By the time I got home, I was so dizzy, the walls looked like swirls. Thank goodness I knew where all the numbers on the phone was, because I needed help NOW. I dialed Nicki's number, while slumping agenst the wall and slowly sliding down it to the floor.
"Hello?" "N-Nicki? I-I need h-help." "Jessie? Oh my God! Where are you! What had happened?" It was getting hard to remember how to even breath now. I whispered, "H-home...Call..911...Hurry...Can't...breath..." "I'm calling them, don't worry! Hold on Jessie." She yelled something to someone in the background and I whispered, "Nicki...Dying..." The phone slipped threw my shaking fingers. I heard Nicki yelling something, but I couldn't hear. The wave of pain and darkness washed over me and I didn't have the strength to resurface. And I wasn't too shore that I wanted to either...
