There was a dent in my door. There's never a dent in the front door. My dad made sure of that. I looked at the druid. He seemed calm so there probably wasn't any danger near by. But the dent was bothering me on a psychological level, screaming for me to leave. I got out my keys and opened the door already coming up with excuses why I was late and why I had a towering escort. The lights were off, another warning. The lights were never off, even when no one was home. My mom made sure of that. I might have disregarded this but the door and now the lights. Something didn't feel right. I could only fear for the worse.
SURPRISE!! All my friends and relatives we're all in a circle. Some even came out of places I never thought to hide in. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SAAAAAM HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUU. I'm pretty sure I had a silly expression on my face somewhere between horror and confusion. A pat on the back and a slice of cake had me feeling even more confused. Soon the adults left me and I had to indure my three little cousins. Seth, Sarah and Shawn, all S names. What can I say my family likes names that start with S. It's a family tradition don't ask how it started, no one knows. The druid was nowhere to be seen. probably letting me enjoy myself for a while. I smiled to myself, he probably doesn't go well with party's.
Ding Ding Ding my dad stood up on a chair raising his glass. "Can I have your attention please. I want to thank everyone here for coming. And my brother who could not be here today." A few people looked worried but I just smiled to myself. It's obvious where I got my sense of humor. Looking around my dad continued. "His flight was cancelled, he thinks just because he named my boy that he's an exception to being late." A few people gave my dad dirty looks for making them worried. "Anyway enough uncle jokes let's get this party started!!" To say I was embarrassed was being to nice. I was mortified! The horror of my dad attempting a whip and nae nae. I saw a shuffle and cow boy moves. Oh God :0 To my horror I was being pulled in.
A shadow swept over the room quieting everyone. The room temperature skyrocketing. It felt like a heated furnace. Sweat was making my shirt wet. My dad turned to see a huge centaur standing behind him. He was holding a massive spear. His body was so ripped and strong he radiated heat and power. I heard a few whimpers and gasps. "Sir, can I help you?" Mom came by his side wrapping her arm on his waist. A voice inside my head was telling me to run, run and never stop running. The beast looked around meeting everyone's eyes. Then he stopped at mine. Okay this is not good. Last I checked no one I knew was a centaur or that ripped at least. Whoever created this...this creature. had made it souly to beckon fear and obedience. The amount of power blasting from him asked for nothing less. Twirling his massive spear with such precision and ease left no doubt he was a soldier trained to kill. And it seemed I piqued his interest.
"A MISTAKE AND MIRACLE MUST BE MENDED, I HAVE BEEN SUMMONED TO ESCORT YOU. WE LEAVE NOW." Mr 7ft was nowhere to be seen. Maybe this guy wasn't threatening. Swish slash Pierce. My parents laid at his feet still with the expression they had moments ago. Screams broke out. People ran left and right. Everything went quite for me, I could see but couldn't hear. I took a few steps forward hands reaching out. this couldn't be real, they couldn't be dead. Before I could reach them someone grabbed me pulling me away. I screamed at them to let me go tears running down my eyes. Suddenly the hand stopped pulling. They fell to the floor. There head rolling by their decapitated body. I couldn't take anymore I blacked out. The sound of waves pulling me under.
