The Shadows of Time
Idea By: Jewell
Written By: Snowy13
I walked through a dark forest slowly passing the dying trees around me. Rain starts to fall from the dark filled sky above me, covering me and the earth around me. I keep on walking not really sure where I was going. Somehow in front me I can see a shadow of a human figure. I stop in my tracks, too scared to find who or what it is. Lighting suddenly clashes in the sky and the frightening sounds of thunder follows. The shadow figure moves toward me a little before saying,
"We need you." I backed up and the shadow continued, "Come back to us and remember your destiny."
I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. The shadow then disappeared before I could do or try to say more. Lighting clashes in the sky again as I stood there confused at what the figure had said. A sound of an alarm filled the surrounding area-
My eyes were forced opened…
"It was just a dream." I still could hear the sound of an alarm. I looked to my right to see my alarm going off like wild. I moved over and turned it off.
"That sure was a bizarre dream." I jumped out of my bed and began my day. After an hour I got on my bus and then at school. The dream was still so fresh in my mind; I decided to tell my best friend about it, Jewell. I've known her since middle school and I tell her almost everything. I walked into school almost liked a zombie and sat next to Jewell, who was doing homework. She looked over at me startled,
"What's wrong?"
I told her about the dream with as many details as I could put in. She put her homework away and thought to herself.
"What did the shadow say again?" She asked me. "He said he needed me to come back and remember my destiny or something like that." I told her. "You have the weirdest dreams sometimes!"
Jewell and I jumped to the sound of our friend's voice. I looked behind me to see him staring at us like we were crazy people. His name is Justice, I meet him around the same time as Jewell and we've been friends since.
"Oh hey Justice!" I said ignoring the face he was giving us. "Who even has dreams about that kind of stuff!" I shrugged at him and looked out the window at the sky. The sky was being covered by dark clouds, the same dark color as in my dream. I shook my head trying to shake it out of my mind.
"Looks like it might rain!" Jewell said excitedly. Justice sighed at her and pulled out a chair from another table to sit by us. He turned to me and gave me puppy dog eyes, which only meant he wanted one thing, to play with my I-touch.
"Not today!" I told him turning my back toward him, "Oh come on!" He whined. "Justice you're way too addicted to the I-Touch and it's not even yours." Jewell said laughing at him. Justice puffed at the comment. All of a sudden the bell for first period ran through the school. People got up from many tables got up and rushed to their classes but we stayed since we didn't have a first period.
"I'm hungry!" I said randomly, making Jewell and Justice Stare at me weirdly. "Did you not eat this morning again!" Justice asked me. "Hmm I forgot!" I said which made him shake his head at me. Jewell and I busted out laughing at him. After a while of laughing and Justice mumbling to himself, we stopped. Out of the blue, a strong pain appeared in my head, and then moved down my whole body. Almost like shivering from the cold but had pain added to it. I got a horrible bad feeling, even though I didn't know why.
Justice stared at us, "Are you guys alright?" Jewell and I turned toward each other; we both knew that we had both just felt the same thing. I nodded my head slowly. Then the bell for second period ran through the school. We all quickly got up and hurried to our classes.
Other then the dream I had this morning and that strange feeling, the rest of the school day went on as normal. Sitting in each class listening, trying to learn new things or maybe sitting there daydreaming of other things. Some of the stuff we might not even use when we become adults. It was in my Geometry class that something happened. There was a knock on the door interrupting my teacher while he was talking. He went to open the door and took the slip of paper the person had. He closed the door looking at the paper. He walked over to me and placed it down on my desk.
I looked at it and my heart jumped, it said to go to the principal's office. I picked it up and walked out of the classing, I looked at it again. Have I done something wrong? I couldn't think of anything but why would the principal want to see me? I walked as slowly as I could over to the office. I turned and bumped right into the door.
"OW! I got to stop being so clumsy or not look at something while walking!" I said to myself and opened the door rubbing my head. Inside I was shocked to see Jewell sitting there.
"Nice coming in…were called down too?" She asked. She seemed as nervous as I was, maybe more. "Yea…Do you know why we were called down?" I asked her. She shook her head and looked down. I looked around and saw a girl at a desk who was typing on the computer. She looked at both of us in the corner of her eye, "Go on in." She pointed to a small hallway that leads to a door. Jewell got up from the chair she was sitting in and we walked to the door. I was so scared and nervous and I could sense Jewell was the same. I opened the door and we walked in. Inside was a small office, with 2 women. One was sitting at the desk; she was very pretty, short brown hair and a pretty smiling face. The other girl was sitting next to her, she had her hair tied up in a bun and had a serious look.
"Welcome girls, please sit down." The brown hair girl said. Jewell and I nervously sat down in the 2 chairs in front of the desk and looked toward the women. The serious one gave the other a large vanilla folder. The brown haired looked through it quietly and then put her hands under her chin, looking at us.
"My name is Sarah." She took a badge from her pocket and slid it on the desk over for us to see. "I'm from the F.B.I."
