Chapter 6
Darkness. Henry was surrounded by darkness. Thick , overpowering darkness that seemed to crawl in to every crack and corner and consume the light like some kind of horrible monster from a story book. As his eyes adjusted, he realized where he was. He was in his room. "Damnit" I bet you thought the amulet worked. HA HA I tricked you and I can do that because I am in charge of how things go around here. Henry reached for the flashlight he dropped. Flipping the switch on and off a few times he realized the batteries died. "Damn!"
"Henry, Get The Hell Downstairs" his mom yelled in a harsh challenging voice that seemed to say 'I dare you to disobey me see what happens.'
Henry ran downstairs wondering what he did this time. When he got downstairs he saw Brain, paler than ever, sitting in a chair in the corner of the kitchen. Sitting on either side of Brain were both their mothers, red faced and steaming mad.
"What the hell were you thinking? Skipping school, stealing. You need to take a serious look at your life and see how much you're screwing it up. You and Brian are never to talk, hang out, or in any means communicate with each other in any way ever! If your father could hear you now he'd.. why he'd turn over in his grave."
But Henry couldn't hear her. He was so angry his head was spinning. No, not his head, the room. The room was spinning at such an alarming rate nd everything was going black. Then everything was silent. The last thing Henry remembered was falling helplessly to the floor.
