Chapter 8!
Chapter 8

"GET UP NOW!" The Prophet said, as he sprinted into the tent. "I have just put an earth shield up, but that can only last so long! You two need to run now! Dont worry about me, there are far worse things than death, and I am ready for them." The tent started to collapse, and you could see sand pouring in through the rips of the celling. Aki and Suki tore through the bottom, then raced outside. Suki used a Nature spell to entangle some roots to form a bridge, and Aki and her ran across it. Once on the other side, they noticed a giant snake. It hissed, and right before it ate Suki, Aki countered the snake with a blast of fire so intense it incinerated the snake straight to ash. "Thanks" Said Suki. "We need to keep moving" Said Aki. *He is always so uptight in times like this* Thought Suki. Aki ran down the hill, with Suki following right behind. Aki stopped abruptly, and screamed "Suki, stop!" As Suki ran right into a pit of spikes. The first spike that hit her rammed her right through her stomach. It went through her body, shattering her spine and coming out the other side. The tip glistened with her blood as she slid down the wooden spike. The second spike went right through her throat, causing her to stop breathing. She could no longer speak, but Aki could have sworn she said "Goooooooooodbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye" Aki stood there, watching the love of his life slide down two wooden spikes, and the worst part of it all was he felt nothing. He did not weep or feel sad. He felt like had watched a complete stranger die. He stood there, in complete silence, knowing that not even a healing spell could save her. He stood there looking at her beautiful body, and wishing he had said something else. It was too late now though, and he knew this. He continued to run, knowing what his mission was. He ran until he saw the high tower, and then he saw the weapon that would kill him. It was a special brew of chemicals that makes someone who is Pure Unclean. He saw the sniper lock him in his sights, and he watched the man pull the trigger. He felt the sting of the poison, and he felt his body shake as it flowed through his veins. He fell to the ground, at which a second sniper walked up. He was holding a real gun. It had a silver bullet, because it was deemed good luck to kill with one. The man aimed carefully, lined up his shot, and pulled the trigger. The bullet sliced through the air, and it hit him straight in the head. The bullet had entered his head through his eye, which was instantly liquefied. As the bullet exited his skull, fragments of brain were splattered onto the desolate wasteland. The boys fist was still clenched, wishing he had said goodbye to Suki, his love, one last time...


The Prophet through sand into the fire he had started on the ground. "This is what will happen should you not succeed..."
