….then ruined by reality. This story is based on fiction but what you are about to read isn’t going to make you gasp or question my stupidity but understand that the mind works in many ways.

The story is set on a remote beach island. Young men in chain mail armor with a dark red shirt that showed off a lion emblem. The sounds of of the young men moaning as their fist and swords make contact with one another. The battle felt all too real when one of the guy approached me.

I want you to take a picture of our group. Make sure you use a wide lens camera

I was caught off guard but quickly realized that it was not a real battle but a practice with close friend — think role playing. I took out my Sony Cybershot camera and pointed it at the nicely dressed guys. I was afraid to tell them that the camera I had didn’t allow me to take a panoramic shot. I pretended to know what I was doing by constantly pressing buttons on the camera. Once they heard the shutter release they got up and went their ways. I wanted to stop them and tell but I had no way of getting another camera.

“Hey, do you know a camera that takes wide shots” I said while trying to get comfortable on the couch with my cousin and his friends.  ”Yeah, Panasonic does that.” he said. I didn’t want to tell him about what I needed the camera for as I could have been imagining it. I got up and left the room only to be greeted by a friendly creature. He stood tall, naked, and have the features of a human but wasn’t human at all. I stared at his oddly shaped fingers and duck like feet. He was startled and ran pass me and the friends relaxing on the couch.

“Was that an alien that just ran by?” my cousin’s friend said. I denied it all but she wouldn’t give. I chased him into the other room while trying to ignore her.

I was rudely interrupted by a big display board. I tried to make it out. There were several tiles placed on the board. “AAABBRRRAAACCAADDAABBBRRAA” - I stood there trying to figure out what it said “Aah-braa-ca-da-bra” as the word slipped off my tongue i was transfered outside.  While I tried to gain my balance I looked around. There were a group wearing dark robes with a hood that covered their head and someone tall, who didn’t have his hood on. I saw his face, he was a bald man red eyes. I realized who it was and thought to myself “VOLDEMORT!” At that point I was afraid to do anything. I stood and witnessed what was going on. One of the person that stood in the group was lifted off the ground. His hood fell off his head as his body, his head was tilted back. He had no control over his body as you can still see him struggling to gain it back. “Stop it please” he screamed. Voldemort circled one of the hooded person and laughed sinisterly and then hissed in his ear “Take him out.” I couldn’t believe what was going on. He reached his hand inside his robe and pulled out a wand. He pointed it it towards to the guy who feared for his life. Tears were running down the side of his face. The others stood watching afraid for their friend but mostly afraid of their own life. They could be next. “Avada Kedavra” he said. I switch my eyes off Voldemort watched a dead body hit the ground. He was lifeless but when I looked into his blue eyes I gave off a short gasp. I  thought to myself that while he was dead, his body motionless, his eyes were the only thing that was alive.

The sound of footsteps was headed towards me. I looked up and saw Voldemort slithering his way in my direction. I didn’t want to be next. I told him that he can’t control me or anyone anymore. I shut my ears and screamed while I ran away. I kept running and didn’t turn back until I knew I was far away. I turned back and saw that someone was coming after me. I tried to find a place to hide. I noticed a fence to my left and thought I shouldn’t jump over it realizing what was beyond it. I kept moving forward. I made it to a gas station.

When I opened the door. The woman at the register asked what I wanted. I tried to cover up my fear and looked down for something. “Sprite” I said when I bent down to grab a bottle. I shuffled around trying to find a bottle but couldn’t. I grabbed orange juice instead and gave it to her. “Give me the other bottle” she said. I touched the different bottles until she told me to stop. I took out a half open bottle and gave it to her. She was looking around it. She saw the tag on the back and said that’s all she needed. I looked outside to see if anyone was coming for me to confirm my fear someone was. I rushed behind the counter and told her I needed a place to hide. “Please don’t say anything. If anyone comes in here and ask for a guy tell them you don’t know who he’s talking about.” She gave a nod. I gave off a sigh of relief but it wasn’t over until I know I was safe. A person entered the gas station. I was still hidden behind the counter trying to be as quiet as I can. I didn’t hear what was going on but after several minutes someone tapped me and told me to get up. I didn’t want to move. It could have been a trap. “He’s gone, you can get up now” I looked up and saw it was only the woman who worked at the counter.

“Thank you. I can’t thank you enough!” I said with a big smile on my face. She smiled back. We walked towards the drinks. I stood with my back on the window as she bent over to get a drink. I couldn’t believe that it worked. When I turned my head outside my jaw dropped. The person that was looking for me was standing outside staring straight at me. “It’s over now” I said. The woman looked at me and told me “We made it this far we are sticking together” she said. I didn’t know what to think but whatever she was thinking of doing I didn’t stop her. I went back behind the shelf and hid under a blanket. I put on my earphones and turned up the music as loudly as I can. I flooded out all the noise only thinking to myself that this was the end and that my life has to come to a close.
