I wrap my blanket around my shoulders and go down stairs. I get to the font door and peak out the peek hole, which I had to get on my tiptoes to see out of it. There's no one out there. I slowly turn the knob and peak my head out the door. Out of the corner of my vision I see something move near the bushes, A black blur and that 's when I hear it, a deep howl. Not from outside but behind me. I whip around, there it is, A huge black dog, it's mouth foaming and fangs bared. This can't be real? I close my eyes and count to ten, 1...2...3...4-
"Ah crap."
My eyes fly open and I crane my head around to see a boy around my age. He had black shaggy hair that went to the middle of his neck, his skin was very pale olive color, he looked as if he hadn't gone out in the sun for weeks. His eyes. They were a very light color of green, almost emerald, but looked like they'd been washed out of their color. His nose was red from the early fall cold. He had a hard facial expression. He was tall,maybe a foot and a couple of inches taller then me, and skinny,like he hadn't eaten in a month. He was wearing black jeans with a rip in the knee, and what looked like and antique aviator's jacket, and a sword? I long black sleek blade, of what looked like black marble. I blink.
"Sorry, but excuse me." He said.
He grabbed me by the arm and shoved me behind him, the big dog came charging, his hand was fast, he had his sword drawn, but the dog was much faster. It tackled the boy and they started rolling around on the floor in a tangle of fur and boy. The boy threw the dog off himself and lunged sword ready, but the huge animal beat him again, and tackled him again this time the boy and the dog both went limp, then the dog started to get up, I screamed.
"Stupid hell-hound." It was the boy, He tossed the animal aside and got up. My back was pressed up against the wall, What on earth had just happened?
"Who are you?!" I whisper. He looked up at me as if he just noticed me there. He didn't say anything. He returned his gaze to where the dog is- it's...
"It's dissolving! Into gold dust?" I say in aw.
"That's what they do." He mumbled.
"They? There are more of them?" I gasp.
He looked at me again as if he hadn't noticed me there. He turned and sprinted out the door. I ran to the door, I just caught a glimpse of him as he disappear into the woods. I slam the door close, and race upstairs, I get in my room and lock there door. What juts happened? It was a figment of my imagination, that's all, yeah...because i'm sick, I'm seeing things. I sit on my bed for what seems like hours. I look over out the window then sun was setting.
I slink down stairs and walk into the living room, I plop down onto the couch. I turn on the TV, The news was on, there had been a car crash. My mothers name scrolled by on the television. "This is what will happen if you won't cooperate," said a vice loud as day in my ear.
I wake up screaming.
