Chapter 3
The third of 3 Days
Yes, Saturday. Out of all the days of the week, this is one of the 2 when I can sleep in and not have to worry about getting up early. But the second it hit 7:05, "You're so lazy Ron! Get up! Mom says you need to walk me to the library. She also said to bring an umbrella cause it's gonna rain." Yelled my sister. "Day for excitement", bullshit. Nothing's exciting about the library, especially the one up the street. She said it's gonna rain. As I look out my window, it does look stormy; but something doesn't feel right. I don't seem like a normal storm, the clouds look too dark to be normal, almost dark and sinister.
With the umbrella in my hand and my sister next to me, we make our way to the library. But when I step onto the sidewalk; there was a shake, like there was gonna be an earthquake. The shake knocked us onto the street. It was an earthquake, the ground tore up and houses collapsed, ours was one of them. But when I stood up, these black creatures surrounded us. They got closer, and as they did; the world around me started to fade to white. When it was completely white, I heard a voice, "we have found you." Then I could see normally; and the creatures were in the air, ready to attack us.
With them in the air above us, I grabbed my sister's arm and pulled us out of the ring. "Come on! Let's get moving!" I yelled. "To where?" Julia questioned. "The library, we'll go there." I replied. We bolted our way to the library, avoiding any land destruction and creatures. Thank you Mr. Curtis for all that training.
We entered the circular parking lot at the library. When we hit the centre, another ring surrounded us. We stood back to back of each other, we had to fight. But like lightning bolts, rays of light struck the creatures and destroyed them. As we turned to face each other; another ray, much larger than the first few, hit the ground between us. Just then, the world around us dissolved like sand being blown away in wind. Once it left underneath our feet, we fell into darkness. Are we gonna die? I quess this what that old man meant by falling into darkness.
