Chapter 9 THE DEATH ARENA
Chapter 9
THE DEATH ARENA
When I woke up I was tied down to a big metal thing. Above me, there was a ton bright yellow lights, but the strange thing was that they seemed to be floating in the air and there was nothing holding them up. I looked closer and I saw that they were small little lights that seemed to change shape every moment. They looked like the light that is inside a light bulb except there was not a single wire or piece of plastic. Then I looked down, and I noticed that I wasn’t tied down at all. I just couldn’t move, and there seemed to be a invisible force holding me down. I also noticed that I was in a big metal cabin, or maybe it was a little house, but ether way I didn’t like any of this at all. When the door opened, I caught a glimpse of the outside. There were a bunch of trees and a little village. The door slammed shut and it made a big loud noise that I had never heard before. I looked at the person that had opened the door and it was the same guard from the hotel.
“Well, well what have we here” the guard said in an extremely loud voice.
“It looks like Jake me,” he said laughing. He put up his hand and I felt myself float into the air. He picked up his other hand and pushed it forward and then the door swung open. He jerked his hand to the side, and I went flying out the door.
“Guess they didn’t even teach you how to block spells” said the guard. Just then James came flying out of one of the cabins, and a black-cloaked dude walked out of the door flexing his fingers. I looked around and saw a bunch of kids lying on the ground. Each one had someone standing by them and there were tons of cabins. There was a big wall that stretched high into the sky. It was so high that I could only see about one tenth of it.
“And I know that you are one of them,” said the guard after he had cleared his throat.
“One of who?” I asked in a scared voice.
“Them” he said.
“One of who!” I yelled.
“You’ll see… you’ll see” he said laughing. Then I felt myself fly into to the air. I was jerked slightly to the left but then floated to the big gigantic wall. What a dream I thought… I better wake myself up. I tried to smack myself, but the barrier wouldn’t let me move a muscle.
Hey that’s not supposed to happen, I’m supposed to wake up I thought.
“O this ain’t no dream,” he said and chuckled loudly. I thought that ‘ain’t’ wasn’t a word,” I said making fun of his grammar.
“Shut up!”, he growled so every one could hear him.
I was so startled, that I almost fell except the barrier wouldn’t let me.
Ok, this guy can ether read minds or he just guessed…so this is probably a dream. I floated past a kid that was still on the ground.
“I knew this was going to happen,” he mumbled. That didn’t help me at all. then a hole in the wall appeared and a few kids were thrown in there one by one they threw a kid in there and then it was my turn I landed with a loud thump I turned around and the hole closed up and then all of the black cape people were sitting in their seats I looked around even more carefully and then I saw that I was in gladiator arena the ground rumbled as a door opened and shadow men came in to the arena then there was a loud sound and one of the shadow men came up laughing and he stabbed a kid in the stomach and then that kid clutched his stomach and he melted into a black vapor. The clock dude people responded by laughing. and on the other hand I had seen them coming and I jumped out of the way of two incoming shadow dudes and I barely slashed his sword arm off and the other shadow dude turned into a puff of air (my specialty) and the armless one started to disintegrate and right after that a big explosion of rock appeared in front of me and knocked me off my feet completely then to walls came up on the side and spears were sent whizzing from in front and behind me and then spears came falling from the sky and I dodged all most all of them except the one that hit me right in the chest and broke in half darn that’s about the third rune wasted I said privately. Then this kid jumped in the air and his clothes turned to gold and he had a bright shining platinum sword that looked sharp enough to cut anything but he stayed in the air .I noticed a gray little storm cloud had started to form on his sword and then.
“Crash” a junior thunder blot struck a shadow dude that was about to slice him. He put his sword in the air and then the clouds started to swirl. he was about to point his sword at the guard then chains came up out of the ground and hooked onto every body and pulled them to the downward then the guard said.
“Impressive” the guard shouted some weird form of language and then I fell to the ground along with the others and it was all black. When I woke I was in the arena still and almost every one else was awake then the guard walked in with the rest of the people I had seen
earlier we will be watching you die today now every one to the cages I saw a bunch of cages and I figured that I had no choice but to listen. The last kid to his cage was pulled in to the arena and then this big door opened and then double headed lions jumped in to the arena and jumped on the kid I new what would happen and so I closed my eyes and when I opened them there was no kid and but a pile of settling dust then another kid was pulled out from his cage. But this kid cut the lions heads of clean and then a hole in the ground opened and then at lest five trolls climbed out and I new what was going to happen when the trolls got in at lest two feet away from him. as kids were sent up there I fell asleep.
