12:00 p.m.
Lights seemed to move around in my head. It felt like I could see a rollercoaster in my mind. Though the image was completely dark those lights brought me to a place in my head that made me feel like I was riding a rollercoaster. I enjoyed the ride for a few seconds and then was now able to see the lights of the real world.
When I opened my eyes I found myself on the desk in the old man's office. Everything was in its proper place besides the yellow tape surrounding the room. I turned to the window where the old man's body once sat and found it empty. The police must have taken his body to analyze it. I looked around and the images of what just happened rushed into my brain giving me a headache. The last thing I remembered was someone saving me. I tried to orb home, but failed; something was keeping me here and I didn't know what or why. I sat on the desk thinking long and hard about my situation until I felt the energy of someone teleporting into the room.
To my surprise it was Lalie alive and completely healed from her fight. She threw me a bottle of water and a change of clothes from Mom and Dad's house and sat down in the grey chair to her left.
"It looks like you need those. Can't go back fighting looking like that."
I drink the water and put on the clothes she gave me. It was just a regular outfit. Blue shorts with a black short sleeve shirt, two of my favorite colors.
When I was changed I sat back on the desk and waited for her to say something. I didn't speak to her; I just stared for some time. While looking at her I realized she was prettier than the first time I saw her. She looked good for an alien in human form. She laughed while shaking her blond hair.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Nothing, you're just very cute. As you just experienced I am not your enemy. It's strange; I can't believe they tricked you so easily.
"I didn't know. I'm just a kid", I said softly.
"It's ok. Though I beat you in battle I have a feeling you weren't fighting me with your full strength."
"Well I kind of held back too much cause…."
"Because I'm a girl? Note this Daniel don't hold back for anyone. Now let's get down to business. Kleiss has the weapons power, you've seen it and felt it, and he's only going to get stronger."
"So we should act now right?"
"No it would be suicide. What we have is a window of opportunity. We're going to let the power go to his head and within time he and everything around him will be transformed. When he is all powerful, but weak at a point that's when we're make our move.
"What?"
"Within the first few hours his powers will be absolute, but after a while the weapon will slowly drain him without him knowing it. It's a failsafe, just in case something like this ever happened, and only a few people know about it. It only will not drain its true master once they have possession of the weapon."
I lowered my head and started pacing around the room until I was prepared to ask my question.
"Kleiss said only evil can wielded the screecher".
"That's right", she said softly.
"But he also said the master was the only one that would reveal its true form".
"That's correct".
"Am I its true master", I said crying a little.
She didn't answer right away. She turned her back to me and took a few steps in that direction.
"It's complicated."
"How so"?
"I can only tell you about the weapons history. How you are its master, that tale should be told by another."
"Let the story being" I said.
"Thousands of years ago the universe was ruled by three sisters, Remy, Rona, and Ruby. These sisters started out as witches, but within time became Gods. The three sisters protected the world for thousands of years, but through that time the youngest sister Ruby saw the evil in the world and embraced it. She betrayed her sisters laying waste to their home world and stole one of the ancient weapons they protected. Once she became evil the weapon took a hideous new form and became the screecher. The screecher was all powerful and now capable of mass destruction. Now a demon God she created an army of demons and traveled the galaxy with the screecher in hand destroying planet after planet. Through that time the oldest sister Remy disappeared, but the middle sister Rona couldn't sit back and let Ruby continue her plans of destruction. They fought a huge battle and to this day no one really knows what happened to either of them. When the dust cleared the only thing that was left in the rubble was the screecher. The weapon was kept in a safe place until it mysteriously disappeared from its camber seven years ago, looking for its master."
But how I'm I its master?" I asked.
"I told you someone else will have to tell you the rest. Now that you know the screecher's history I think you should take a break. Don't you think? I understand you will be leaving New Jersey tonight."
"How do you know about that?"
"You should spend time with your family until seven. Return back here then and we will prepare for the battle then".
"My last day", I said softly. "Better make it the best day ever".
She laughed. "You are a unique child. You're free to go".
"Yeah unique", I said orbing my way home.
Please review.
