Fan Fiction ❯ In the End ❯ The 'T' Tower ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
"A 'T' tower?" I questioned. Sure enough, there was a tall, 'T' shaped tower just peeking out of the water. I flew faster and smiled as I neared the 'T Tower'. I reached it and landed on the small island. I looked around, lights flooding the main land.

After I circle the 'T Tower', I nodded. Satisfied, I started to stride to the tower. I froze, my heart racing. I glanced at the trees and bushes around me. 'There!' I whirled around and heard a slight rusle. I glanced over my sholder. 'There's someone here... I can sence it...' I took a step back and fell. With a thud, I hit the ground. Shocked, I started to get up, when something jumped at me. I rolled against the ground and into a bush for protection.

The creature the leaped at me had dissapeared, although I heard a steady growl. I stumbled out of the bush and glanced around. I started to take a few steps back when a disk flew at me. I saw it too late. It crashed into the ground near my feet and exploded. I fell back, my legs throbbing. Smoke filled the air and surrounded me. My eyes teared up and I coughed. I peered though the smoke and jumped to the side. A blue blast voomed past me as I ran out of the smoke.

I coughed a few times as I backed into the trees. 'Snap!' I turned to see a black, glowing tree floating out of the ground. I ran through the trees as the tree crashed against the soft, damp ground. I glanced over my sholder, hoping no one was back there. I smiled as my feet pounded against the gound. I ran, looking over my sholder. I started to let out a laugh, when a green bolt hit me in the stomach. I fell to the ground, clutching my stomach.

My whole body when numb. The memory forced its way back into my head: I was falling. I grabbed at the pain in my stomach. My body numbed, as I sliced though the salty air. I pushed the memory away and pushed myself to my feet. I ran, my heart pounding with every step. I neared the ocean and focused. I leaped off the shore and into the cool water.

I swam underwater for a few minutes and surfaced. I looked at the island with the 'T' shaped tower. A skinny boys trudged up to a group of four. The spiky haired boy said something and the skinny boy shook his head. A tall, long-haired girl placed her hand on the spiky-haired boy's sholder and comforted him. He brushed her hand off and walked away. The four watched him hurry back to the 'T'.

A tall, well-built boy talked to the long-haired girl. She looked at the others and they nodded. A dark, hodded person with a long cape soon followed the spiky-haired boy, along with the others. I took one last look at the 'T Tower', and swam to the shore. I reached the docks of the city within a few minutes. I pulled myself onto shore and looked at the horizin just as the first lights of day started to peek over the edge.

I wandered the still lit streets and looked for a place to stay. I trudged out of town and into a forest. I went to the top of a hill and searched the forest below me for a place to sleep. I smiled and crossed the forest to a small cave. I went in, searching the depths for any signs of life. After a minute, I walked back to the entrance and sat down, leaning against the cold, stony wall of the cave. I tipped my head back and closed my eyes, the comforting darkness of sleep filling me.
