Short History Lesson:
For thousands of years, the Fire Demons have been under the power of the Water Demons. The Water Demons always were unfair to them and treated them horribly. The Fire Demons couldn't take it any more, so they decided to rebel against the Water Demons. Now that is where our story begins.
Harry Potter and the Evil Twin
Chapter 13: Harry's Decision
When Harry Potter finally regained his sense of sight, he found himself deep inside a forest. All around him were trees. There was barely any light where he was standing, except for the occasional ray of light that filtered through the deep shade of the tress. Looking downwards, Harry saw he was standing in a dirt clearing and that he was tightly tied to something behind him. A dim fire was burning in the corner of the clearing. It's light wasn't much, but it was enough for Harry to see further into the forest. A dark cave came into his view as he strained to see his surroundings.
There was a sudden loud crack that seemed to come from inside the cave. Harry started to hear voices coming from inside the cave and then came a light. What Harry saw come from out of the cave made him stare in surprise.
A dozen of the Water Demons that Harry had learned about in class emerged from the cave carrying something behind them in two large cages. As the creatures moved forward, Harry got a better look at the things in the cages. They were red, bright red, the color of fire. The creatures were small, smaller then the Water Demons, and looked terrified. All the little red creatures were crying, trying to plead with the Water Demons. They talked in a different language, but Harry caught some words.
"No………….please……………we stop fighting you……………we……give up……...promise………..please stop………." From behind the cages came something so hideous, Harry felt sick to his stomach. A huge hairy figure came out from the cave. It had hair all over it's body, two slit-like eyes, and a large mouth with slim dripping down from it, covering his whole entire body. It was like the other Water Demons, but bigger and more hideous. He laughed a deep and icy chuckle at the red creatures in the cave. As soon as he began to talk, the other demons stopped what they were doing. Harry guessed it was their leader.
"Well, well, well," he said in an icy tone. Harry saw that he spoke English clearly unlike all the other creatures. "Now you should have thought about that before you decided to rebel against me. I gave you everything you would every want. But that wasn't enough, was it?" He laughed again and then looked over towards his fellow water demons. "Bring their leader to me." A group of water Demons unlocked the cage and went inside.
During this, Harry felt the ropes holding him start to loosen. As the pulled, they started to come undone. Harry had an idea. He loosened the ropes just enough so that he was able to reach into his pockets. Good, he thought, It's still there.
There was a sudden scream from inside the cage, and then the group of water demons came out carrying one of the creatures. One of the demons spoke up.
"Here he is master," Harry was just able to recognize what they were saying.
"Knog, what a delight to see you again," the main Water Demon said sarcastically.
"Please," Knog begged. Harry saw that he could speak English too. "Please, we give up. We'll go back to how everything was."
"Hmmm, let me think, No! You should have thought about that before you decided to fight us." Knog looked defeated. "Did you honestly think that you could beat me, Knog? I mean, honestly, it was an absurd thought to think that you, of all people, could ever try and beat me. I'm sorry Knog, but you're time is up."
"NO! Please. Another chance." Knog was on his knees now, begging for the life of his people. "Kill me, but not my people. Let them go. They are no harm to you."
"Well that is true, but you should have thought about all this before you went to war." The large Water Demon looked over to where Harry was sitting. "Look how lucky I am today. I get to eat a whole tribe of Fire Demons for dinner, followed by a human boy as my desert." Harry gulped. It was now or never to try his plan. "Let me start by killing you Knog," the demon said getting off from his chair.
"Wait!" Harry yelled pulling the thing from his pocket. All the water demons, including their leader, glanced at Harry who held up the small mirror he had pulled from his pocket.
"You little-" the head Water Demon said, but it was to late. There was a loud noise, and a huge cloud of blue dust fell over Harry and the Fire Demons. Harry loosened the ropes around him and tried to shake the blue dust of him. Knog ran over to the cage and unlocked it. All the Fire Demons ran out, celebrating. Suddenly they recognized Harry standing there.
"Harry Potter……………..you saved us…………thank you…….." Harry was just able to make out what they were saying. The leader, Knog, walked over to him.
"Thank you, mister Harry Potter," he said kneeling on the ground, bowing to Harry. "You saved our lives."
"Um, your welcome." Harry said, surprised himself.
"We are Fire Demons, the keepers of the dead," Knog said proudly.
"I thought all demons were bad," Harry replied.
"Well they are mostly. But, we're the only good ones. We hold the power to bring back life to someone that has died." Knog explained. "As your reward for saving us, we will bring someone back to life for you."
"You mean, I can pick anyone and they will come back to life?" Harry asked hoping that Knog was telling the truth. Knog nodded. Years of longing to see and feel his parents came flooding into Harry's mind. Harry now had the change to bring them back to life. He would finally get to be able to talk with them, see them, and live with them. But then something came back into his mind. Someone who shouldn't have died at all, someone who died because of a mistake, someone that died because of…well it was partly Harry's fault.
"Alright. I know who I want to bring back to life. It's…….."
The End (until next time)
Ok how was this story? Now who do you think Harry wished for? I'm sorry that this chapter is so short, but the next one will be longer. Well that's all for now. Until the next chapter,
