The dark mist slowly made its crawl along the ground. I was hoping to that my new found powers would help save me. About three seconds and it would hit me. My only chance was to try to make a shield out of what little power i had left. Even though i was strongest against dark magic members i was so low from battling Dreth’s brother and his amazing talent for ice magic. i conjured up all my strength and with it i made a very weak shield of light to protect me. I couldn’t even think of my friends and family because all my focus was on my light shield. This was it the dark mist was about to hit my shield. Would it hold…?

Walking home from school I was feeling weird not like sick, but more of a nervous feeling. The thing that scared me is that I didn’t know what it was. Walking on the sidewalk wasn’t usually this bad why the hell was I so scared. It felt like someone was watching me. You know that feeling you get when you have to get something from the basement and as soon as you get what you came down for you high tale it out of there, that’s what this felt like. I quickened my pace slightly and set my course for my grand parents house. Walking past 5 acre lots with houses on each that look exactly the same, with the white picket fences, and the perfect lawns. I saw a flicker of black go past one of them. I entered my grandparents gates and turned around to see if someone was following me. There was what looked like a gang just hanging out right outside the gate. Were they there a second ago? No they couldn’t have been I just walked through the gate. The only difference between these people and a gang were that all of the dark figures were staring at me with hazy eyes. I put the key in the lock and opened the door. “Grandma where are you?” I asked anxious to tell my grandma about the weirdoes outside. “Over here hon what’s wrong?” my grandmother asked hearing how scared I really was. “There are like 7 people outside and they just keep walking the fence line like they want in are blocked out.” I said. “Oh my god Herald hurry its happening they’re here.” My grandmother yelled. There was a rumble in the other room of the house and then my grandpa was at the window. “We need to get out of here the ward won’t last long.” My grandpa said his face filled with fear. I had never seen anything make my grandpa scared in my life. Now there were 7 people who weren’t even on our property yet and he was freaking out. What was going on? And what did he mean by a ward. Was that what was keeping those weird people out? “Ok, you grab the box I’ll get the amulet.” my grandpa said, “Cole come with me.” “Grandpa what’s going on?” I asked not understanding the danger we were in.
