Henry's house was gigantic. I had never seen a house so large. It was as big as the hospital! "You like it?" Henry asked me "I have never seen a house so magnificent before." I said and Henry laughed "It's not that fancy" he smiled and led me into the house. "Moooom!" Henry called out "Mooooooooooom!" there was no response. I had a horrible feelingin the pit of my stomach. Suddenly Jeff walked out holding onto the head of a woman. No doubt it was Henry's mom. "Oh my god..." I took a step back and felt a presence behind me. I turned around and gasped as I saw a man in a mask and what most likely was 21st century clothes.
I heard a gurgling sound and turned to see Henry drop dead. My heart sunk as Jeff and the masked man stepped closer. Suddenly I couldn't breathe. I couldn't see. I couldn't move. However I could still hear. "Bethany" it was Ben! "Run. Run away frm these two. Go into the box. I will find you there." I could see again! My vision was brought to an odd box with a glass screen and buttons. As soon as I could move I darted towards and just as my fingers touched it...I was sucked in. I opened my eyes and found myself in a odd sort of place. Wild electricity made up the walls and floors. I seemed to hover above it as though there was an invisible floor.
"Bethany..." rasped a voice and I turned around. It was Ben! "Ben!" I smiled wrapping him in a tight hug. "Ben I have missed you terribly and-" I looked up but saw the face of a boy my age. This was not Ben. He had black hair and ruby red eyes with slightly tan skin. "Ben drowned many years ago." he no longer sounded like my beloved Brother Ben. "Don't you remember? You did pull him in after all." the boy held me tightly to him "N-no!" I cried as images flashed through my mind. I did pull Ben into the water...Ben didn't know how to swim. "I killed him!" I cried "Shhh don't cry...I brought you here for a reason." he said "What reason? To mock me? To-to what?! WHY AM I HERE?" I flinched away from his hand. "There is an imposter going around the underworld saying his name is Ben Drowned. He believes himself to be the original Ben Hennington...your brother." he said "Your going to kill him!" I looked at him "What is the catch?"
"I want you to join my army." the boy said "Why me?" I asked "My dear...you have such potential." his fingers ran along the sides of my face. "What do you mean?" I couldn't move "Your a beast hidden away in the form of a beautiful girl." the boy smiled "Your just what I need to win this war!" he added, his smile growing. Why would anyone pretend to be my little brother? No one I knew would do such a thing- wait...unless- "I'll do it!" I said in a paniced tone. "Goood!" his eyes glinted "Ah, but where are my manners?" he started. An image of Henry flashed in my mind.
"My name is Diego...what is yours?" Diego bowed and brought my hand to his lips. "My name is Bethany!" I smiled warmly as he led me somewhere. "What is this place?" I asked holding tightly onto his hand "The amazing world of technology." he replied. We passed many sleek black boxes. As we did he told me about something called a television. "Is that what I had jumped through earlier?" I asked "Yup!" was Diego's simple reply. We stopped in front of a big black door "Just this way...after you my dear." he opened the door and motioned for me to go through. I stepped through and Diego closed the door behined us. "This is headquarters. I'll show you to your room." he said quietly.
The walls were dark green and the wooden floors were ebony. "Well here it is!" Diego said with a charming grin. "What do you think?" he asked "It'll do just fine!" I smiled back at him "I will send someone when dinner is ready..." he pulled me close to him "Do join us...the others will be excited to meet you." he kissed my cheek and disappeared down the hall. I closed the door and looked around the bedroom. There was a bed, a dresser, a desk with an odd thin silver box, and a vanity table. I walked over to the thin silver box and lifted the lid. The inside had many black buttons with letters on then. The lid was strange and was attatched to the box. It had a glass screen. Stuck to the screen was a paper that said "LAPTOP" the paper described what it was and how to use it but I was still confused. After a while of waiting I heard a knock on the door and I opened it. Beyond the door was a striped clown man "Time for dinner."
