Chapter 6: Assassin

10:26. That was the time John, Ro, and I went to sleep. After filling up Ro's stomach with popcorn, we let him 'go' outside in the backyard. We were careful not to alert my sister.

We had then noticed, back in my room, that the dog was shivering. The temperature was not cold enough to induce shivering though. Both John and I both knew: Ro had my, John's and Angela's problem, too.

Now I was in my bed with Ro, who was curled up on my pillow by my head. John was already
asleep by my bedside, in his sleeping bag. As I closed my eyes, I thought to myself, 'Wonder what's going to happen tomorrow...'

"EEEEEEK!" I woke up to a scream. Sitting up and turning on the light, I saw that the clock read 12:00. Midnight. Ro and John had also woken up from the scream, and both seemed scared.

"The heck?!" John said.

I rushed to the window. I could not believe what I saw.

My sister, in her nightgown, was outside in the backyard. A large being in black armor was approaching her!

"AHHHHH!" she screamed again.

I looked at John. "My sis is being attacked by a strange armored freak! We have to help!" I ran out the door.

"Strange armored freak?!" he said, confused, and ran after me.

We then scrambled downstairs, not even replacing our PJ's with normal clothes. Ro followed us, close behind.

We exited to the backyard. The guy saw us, and hit my sister with his arm, knocking her to the ground.

"Angela!" I yelled, my anger building. She did not get up. "You big freak!"

"Hm. Mice." said the being, staring coldly at the three of us with completely red eyes. "I will make your death quick!" He pulled out a large sword.

"D-death?!" John expressed as he backed up. "N-no way!"

I stood my ground. "Rrrrrrrr...." went Ro, standing his ground too.

John ran back inside the house.. 'I can't believe him....' I thought.

The armored fiend charged, sword readied. I jumped to the side, and Ro ran between his legs. I went over to a nearby flower pot, and threw it at him! It shattered in midair as the guy skillfully hit it with his sword. 'What the-this isn't working!' I realized.


After some more dodging, Ro and I were exhausted. 'We won't last long......'

"Hey, freakazoid!" a voice from the door! I looked. "John!" I said.

John was at the back door, holding a antique vase of my Mom's. It was fully made of diamond. He threw it with all his might at the giant! ......And it was obliterated by another sword blow.

"Diamond...is.....indestruct......AHHHH!" John screamed.

"Ha! Your weak effort is useless!" the guy boasted. ".....Eh?" The being paused as John regrouped and got beside Ro and I. "Interesting...." he said. "All four of you are......ha."

The guy raised his hand. My muscles tensed. Then I began to feel....woozy. I feel in a heap to the ground, and John and Ro quickly did the same...I heard one last statement from the guy.

"I knew the girl was...but these three, too? Ha...well, I'll see how they'll fare....."
