"So what do you think?" Harper said. I had not realized she was still talking."About what?" I asked her. I spaced out for like the last ten or five minutes."A banana outfit, duh." A banana? " I would have a yellow dress with banana earings and yellow stockings with bananas around the top. And maybe a Monkey holding a banana on a hat. Doesn't that sound cool?" Harper was one of the very few people who could put up with me for a while so I had to lie."Yeah totally." I said. Wow.
We were about two blocks from the house. Harper was visting her Mom and Dad for the weekend. "Bye Alex." Harper said. There was a yellow taxi right infront of us. "See ya Harper." It was amazing how much you could miss when your thinking about smoking hot Twilight werewolves and those cute sparkly vampires with their wicked red eyes. I wish I had eyes like that.
I walked in the door and flopped down an the couch like any other day I picked up the remote and started flipping channels. "Alex, will you come out on the terrece for a minute?" Mom called. I sighed and got up. "What?" I asked. "Could you get that spider up there?" She asked. I knew she was scared of spiders. Why couldn't she just close her eyes?
I was about to whine but we were interupted by the door slamming. The loud noise made me jump.
Mom walked back into the house. "Max how many times have I told you not to slam the door?" Mom yelled. Max was frantically locking the doors and windows. He looked and seemed more jumpy than normal.
" Dude, What are you doing?" I asked as he closed all the curtains. I looked at him, his pants were ripped and bloodstained. I'd noticed that Justin wasn't with him anymore."Max What happened and where's Justin?" Me and mt mom crowded him as he tryed to catch his breath.
Max was breathing heavily it was like he had been running. He sank down to the floor and covered his face with his hands.
Dad came down the stairs hearing the noise. "What's going on?" he demanded. He was still half asleep from his afternoon nap. Old people.
Max wasn't answering. He curled up in a ball and started quietly sobbing. "Max, Max what's wrong?" my mom asked.
"I did a bad thing." he sobbed. I saw a bloody gash on the side of his cheek and his face was covered in dirt. His hands were caked with blood and dust.
"I.." he started to say something but we were interupted by the door being kicked down the wood of the door hit the floor noisily. A tall dirty blood covered man entered. He had a wild look in his eye. He was holding a gun. I felt the color drain out of my face.
Max went all wide eyed. Our mothers arms wrapped around Max. We all froze in place. Like Max I started to breath heavy from the pure terror of the whole situation. I felt a few tears silenly fall down my face. Dad froze in place near the stairs.
"Where is justin?" Mom whispered. "Dead." Max said slowly still quietly sobbing. Dead.
A small tear dropped from my mothers eyes. I couldn't beleive what was happening. Why us? Why me? We may fight or fought but he was my brother I need him back. No matter how dorky he was. Thats when I really started crying.
Suddenly the whole moment was ruined with the unforgettable sound of a gunshot. I turned to look at the unknown man with the gun. I heard my Mother scream as she held Max's now dead body.I was frozen with shock. Here I was standing in my livingroom, both of my brothers now dead. My dads face was twisted with anguish as he understood the fact that his sons were not coming back.
My mother was rocking back and forward still holding Max sobbing loud broken sobs. This was tearing me apart inside. Blood was flowing in a slow steady stream down the side of my brother's head.
The man reloaded his gun aimed at my mother and another earsplitting shot rang out. The bullet peirced my mother directly in her heart. A loud heart broken scream came from my mothers mouth. "Treasa." my Dad said. The man pointed the gun at me now I felt my heart beat speed up. I closed my eyes and waited for death to come. The end for me, my family.
Just ten minutes ago I was with Harper talking and laughing but now I was about to die. At least she wasn't here. Harper would come home to a house full of dead people. Unless the poice clear it out first. I wonder why none had called the cops yet. Mason I still love you. I thought. I prepared for my death. I opened my eyes checking for the holdup of my death. The dude with the gun was reloading it.
Unexpectidly my dad let out a yell as he ran and tackled the gunman like a football dummy. "Save yourself!" he yelled as he and the man wrestled.
I frantically searched for something to use to save my life. In the panic I forgot I was a wizard. I reached into my boot and grabbed my wand. I racked my brain for any spell that would be helpfull. Another shot was fired and the gunman dropped my fathers lifeless corpse to the ground.
I saw my book Twilight laying on the coffee table. Twilight my escape. I thought for a minute for a good spell improv.
I ex haled deeply. As a Vampire, A creature of the night. Put me into the world of Twilight. I said loudly.
The guy with the gun stared as the colors of the room swirled and faded into white. Everthing including the gunman had froze. I suddenly felt very heavy and involentarily fell to the ground. Everything else has faded, I was the only one in the whole world right now. The white dissolved into black and darkness took over. I closed my eyes.
