THE LORD OF DEATH

THE LORD OF DEATH(Nelima) I am standing right in front of a gigantic gate and slowly the gate opens making some creepy noises. I walk in and find myself surrounded by fire.
I was damn scared but surprisingly the fire seemed to know me and was waiting for me for a long time. As i walked deeper in the fire, i could smell blood and then i heard someone calling my name. I turned around. There was a strange figure that was coming towards me and the palm of my right hand started hurting. A strange star was forming on my palm. I was petrified with terror and did not know what to do. I could not move, the strange figure was coming toward me at a faster rate.

Then "Boom" i fell off my bed.

"That hurts" i said to myself while holding my right hand tightly. My aunt Jemila quickly entered my room, looking very worried and helped me to stand up. In a soft voice, she asked me, "Did you have that wierd dream again?" "Yes, but this time it was more realistic as if i was actually there" i replied. Upon hearing this, her eyes filled with tears and she walked away without saying another word. I could not tell her about that star that was formed on my palm. While searching for the bandages in my drawers, i accidentally drop my clock. Then i scream as loud as i can "I'm gonna be late again for school and that fatso principle is going to kick my ass again!"

My name is James Augustin and i am going to be 16 in two months time. I have been having these dreamS since i was ten and my aunt is the only one who knows about it. My parents died the day i was born so my aunt is the only woman i have in my life.

"Aunt, I'm going to school now"
"But you did not do your breakfast"....said Aunt Jemila
"Don't have time, i will buy something on the way to school"
"MR James Augustin, get your fat ass here and eat your breakfast before i get angry."
"But aunt" She gave me that frightened look as always and in the end, i end up eating my breakfast and getting late for school.

"What is your excuse this time for not doing your homework?" asked the teacher...
"Last night, i was aducted by some aliens and they did some experiments on my body...it was really amazing. so I did not have time to do my homework." The teacher stared at me as if she wanted to kill me and said to me "Do you seriously think that i'm going to believe this?"
"Yeah...cos you are stupid" i murmured.
"What did you just say?" asked the teacher.
"Oh nothing, i was just talking to myself...it's just a joke..actually my dog blaky ate my homework because he could not understand your explanation."

The face of the teacher turned red like a tomato and she yelled at me "GET OUT OF MY CLASS RIGHT NOW."

Meanwhile at home, Aunt jemila entered a secret room and she was communicating with a stranger.
"The time has come to tell James the truth about his real identity"
"Are you sure the the time has come?"....asked the stranger.
"Yes, all the dreams that he is having right now only indicate that prophecy is about to be fullfiled and he really needs your guidance, Master Chang."
"Okay, i will come to your place soon" ...said the stranger.


CHAPTER 2

"Mr James Augustin, this is the third time that I'm seeing your face today...What have you done now"...Yelled the principle.
"I didn't do anything wrong...it was the teacher's fault, she is so hot that even the frog could not resist her and the frog just jumped into her blouse" ...i replied
"And who let the frog out of the cage"...asked the principle
"It was the last wish of the frog before getting killed so i had to fulfill it..."
"Stop talking nonsense, you are going to be restricted and i'm going to make a call at your house"...said the principle
"what, a call at my place....why? it was just a prank....haven't you done any prank when you were young long long long ago" i asked.
"so basically you are calling me old" aked the principle
"Oh My God you are seriously a genious...how did you figure it out that i was just calling you old...i thought i was not clear on it" i said.
The principle looked angrily at me and on seeing his face, i burst into laugh.
"Are you making fun of me?"
"obviously"...i replied
The princple quickly took out a paper from his drawer and wrote my name on it.
"I give you detention.." and gave me the paper.
"like always.." i took the paper and i said" see ya again..and be ready to give me another detention tomorrow..."

"I'm so tired..it demands lot of hard work to be able to do nothing for more than 3 hours...By now i must have become a professional with the number of detentions i have got.." i told myself.
Suddenly, i felt some wierd vibes coming behind me...i turned around but there was no one. I was getting the feeling that someone was watching me then out of nowhere a black cat jumped on me.
I screamed like a little girl which was very embarrassing. The cat quietly sat in front of me and then something unexpected happened. The cat spoke to me.
"We have finally found you master..." the cat said.
I was shocked...i thought i was dreaming with open eyes but not all of this was real. I was having mixed emotions... i was frightened but at the same time amazed.
Some more cats approached me.
The sign on the palm of my hand started aching and this pain was like the one i felt when i was dreaming. All the lights in the street started to break one by one and i could hear a voice in the air calling out for me.
I started to tremble. A strange figure started to form in front of me by my own shadow. I was completely blank...i did not know what to do. The shadow figure had only eyes which were completely red like if it was
made out of my own blood. I was helpless in front of that shadow.

As the shadow was about to touch me, a person appeared in front of me out of nowhere wielding a sword. The light that the person was releasing, was frightening the cats and the shadow figure.
The person turned around and asked me if i was okay. I looked at him frighted and then it was a complete blackout.

When i woke up, i was lying on my bed. "Was that a dream?"..i asked myself.
"It was a pitiful one thought...i was behaving just like a noisy girl in a horror movie...but if it was a dream, then how did i get home? why don't i remember anything"...i murmured to myself.

The door slowly opened and my aunt Jemila came in.
"I'm glad that you are finally awake and that you are completely okay. Come, i have someone that i need to introduce you to." she said.

I went downstairs directly into the living room and yelled "What the hell are you doing in my house...you were supposed to be a fragment of my imagination. How did you get out of my dream?"

The stranger who supposedly saved me was sitting right in front of me and at that time i knew that all the strange things that happened were for real.
