Odd story: (Don’t have a name for it yet)

Moving
I’m slipping and sliding down a dark cement emplacement encased with slime. And right when I realize that I shouldn’t have come here, I’m shot trough a small hole. I’m falling for just a few seconds but it hurt a lot, as though I was forced onto something. I look down and I see Bones, I look what I sat on his ribs. I get up and I feel the ground growing lower. And spikes explode out of the walls and they almost hit me, and they’re attached to the walls via thick tethers, I hear some unwinding and the spikes sprint back to the walls.
Oh wait, your late you didn’t hear the beginning of the story. I’ll start over.
I just moved to my new house, it’s so beautiful. Trees everywhere, flowers brightly colored, it’s even nice and hot outside. Unfortunately school starts the next day. So I just go up to my room to adjust everything. I’m looking through all my stuff, remembering my past, I get through about 1 box and boxes keep on getting sent to my room and I’m crying I didn’t even care that the movers kept on bringing boxes in my room.
I woke up to my alarm blaring it said 8:15, I didn’t even set one up. And right after I opened my door my dog Tension tackled me back to my bed. I quickly got back up and petting him while running to the kitchen and I grabbed my sister’s pop tarts and ran outside. I looked at my watch, 8:17, I looked at my outfit, birthday suite, and I think I forgot to pick out an outfit after my 30 second shower. Damn it was cold! Well I run back inside and sprint up to my room and quickly 2 clothes off of my floor.
I run to school and look up, it’s huge, I look at the schedule that I glued to my hand. I have to get to the 4th floor in 4 minutes. Damn, I’m not going to make it. I waste no time I fucken sprint to my class. I’m in the wrong building the north instead of south. I explain what happened to the teacher, he understood, he gave me a pass so I didn’t have to have heart-attack getting to my 1st class.
I take my time. I am sweating like no tomorrow; I stop at the vending machine and get a pop. I continue to my class. I get up to my class, “the teacher is hideous”. Oh crap I said that out loud. She stares me down and says in a deafening low voice, “Do You Have a Pass?”
I give her the pass and chose a seat. In the middle of the room to my left a hottie, to my right the biggest dykeyest looking person I’ve ever seen he looks like a jock, wearing the clothes of a Goth but has a skate board so I determine he’s nothing but a poser cubed.
The teacher drawls on and on and I can’t help but ask, “can you speak louder your voice is too deep”? I hear many different responses from the kids around me, some hooting hollering but mostly laughing giggling and some kid yelled, “thank God, someone had to bring this to her attention”! She waddles right up to me and yelled, “is this loud enough for you punk?”,
“yes”,
“good… Here’s your first detention.” 10minutes into my first day of high school and I already have detention. My parents aren’t going to be happy. I sit and stare until the bell rings. I go to my next class I get some friendly punches from the guys as they walk by. I try and find my next class, W204, “it seems like it’s far but it’s not”, I hear the hottie say “I can walk you there if you want.” I respond “sure”, then strike up a conversation…1

Embarrassment
Me: So what’s your name?
Her: Sara, what’s yours..?
I actually look at her and say, “Duh, Duh, Damn you’re hot, I mean David, I mean Daniel,
My full name is Daniel David Carraskakelo, don’t bother saying it.
Sara: That’s Funny! So… I’ve never seen you around here before; did you just move here or something?
Me: “Um, yeah, I moved yesterday.”
Sara: “Where from”?
Me: “A horrid place… I’d rather not talk about it”
Sara: “So do you know your way around town yet”?
Me: “No, I fell asleep right after the move.”
Sara: “Do you want a tour of the town”
“After my detention”
“I’ll meet you at the fountain at 7 that way you can go home and rest, got it? Good”! “Cause here’s your class.”
My next class math, this teacher looked decent. Except for the lazy eye. I take a seat, again, in the middle just to see how the seats fill up. There was literally nothing except for Geeks in my Intro to Combining Trigonometry and Physics Class.
The teacher starts while the bell is ringing writing as fast as he can. “So if a rocket has 3 200Lb of thrust engines and has 400 gallons of fuel and blast off, it gets into the stratosphere and takes a turn for the worse and begins falling to the earth with fuel still running through the engines how fast will it be going and will the fuel run out and if it doesn’t how much will be left and how big would the explosion be?
I raise my hand, “what, you lost me after the word “off””. No laughter like in the other class. He came up to me personally and whispered to try and help me. In short, he couldn’t so he said that he’d do me a favor and let me go down to the office so I could change the classes I thought were too hard.
I walked to the office and spent the rest of the day there. I changed my schedule and got through all my day, best ever; yeah, right; I go to the detention room, sit in the corner near a busted window cause I had no clue what to expect.2

Kids start pouring in followed by this huge gorilla looking dude without hair. I wanted to yell “It’s the missing link”! But I refrained because just look where I am with tough kids, druggies and class clowns all around me, and their responses would be mixed. He tells me in a calm demanding way, “sit down faggot”. I do, I chose a seat; the wrong one; the multi-personalityed kid walks up to me, “what are you doing in my seat, do you want a wedgie, a bludgeoning or are you just a moron”? I went with the moron one. And he pulled his hand back, “you have the count to -1 to get out of this seat” and like a bow and arrow he let his arm go, it came closer and closer in shock, I couldn’t do anything. He got me in the cheek and my head twisted about 40° I started to lift out of my seat, my legs lifted from under my chair and ended up going high above my head and the ground got closer and closer right before I hit the ground I felt a shock to my back, I hit the wall. Before I hit the ground I saw him fly across the room through a few rows of chairs.
The teacher helps me up and gives him a lecture. After about 10 minutes of talking, the teacher escorted him by the earlobe. There was a deep eerie silence as the eyes of the others fell upon me. They seemed to glare in the flashing florescent lights in the room. 3

Fight!!!
Then 1 kid stands up, “why did you get Zach in bigger shit than he was… because of you we can’t gamble”! I responded in a shaky voice, “I-I didn’t mean to”.
As a group they simultaneously walked toward me and ever so slowly raise their hands, pointed their fingers at me and demonically whispered, “fight tournament, to determine popularity” I’m looking down at a bunch of guys and some Goth girls forming lining up. They told me the rules, only 2 people fighting at a time. I said as though I was going to back down, “O.K., um I gotta”,
“go, no fucken way pussy” some kid yelled out and the entire group encircled me and kept moving as a kid stepped forward, jumping side to side, the kids in 2 circles spinning in inversed directions the lights seemed to flicker faster and faster. “Oh shit these kids are serious”, I thought they’re so serious they found a way to make it so that this fight is practically in another world.
I feel the stress on my body mounting due to adrenaline. Things slowed down, adding to the level of confusion. I move 1 leg forward only to realize I’m so dizzy that gravity has 4x the effect on me. I swing my arm out to see that I missed and the other guy countered hitting me in the jaw, I expected it and let momentum take control of my body, I’m flipping every which way and I let my body be limb and I think I slapped him and kicked him many times but I’m not sure, because the next thing I saw was a foot right next to my face. I closed my eyes, hoped for the best, my spine bent backward and cracked a lot and somehow, it didn’t hurt. So I took that to my advantage and punched him in the face and as everyone was disgusted so I punched random people. After about 6 people hitting the ground the circle started again. This huge sumo guy merged from the pack
and said, “I’m your trump card, you cheated you took cheap shots on a lot of us you’ve earned a lot of respect, but this competition will go on until you lose or the whole room loses, so let me just throw you out of the ring and I’ll give you an alternate option”. He propels me off the ground and clear out of the room. The Gorilla Teacher sees me sliding on my belly and a bunch of kids yell “jail break, P-2” and some kids sweep me off the ground and they leave the guy I beat behind. I can’t really see it even gets pitch black and after my eyes adjust to the dark, I see the sun glaring down on me causing instant pain. They drop me then and there and they escort me off school grounds. When I tried to get away a bunch of people tugged on my shirt and put me back in place. After not being able to see literally in a sea of kids. I stop, and they push me out and over the fence and told me to go up to the top spire of the house and throw a rock out the window, and chances are, you’ll be the most popular kid in school.
I walk toward the house. It doesn’t seem creepy at first. But then I see a flash, and another, and another. Soon I’m surrounded by these creepy white kids, they just say “No one’s ever come out” and then they. It was an illusion, the kids were just standing at the gate, giving me the finger, others telling me to get going don’t be scared, but they all had creepy grins planted on their faces. A gold flash and time seems to stand still once again, the kids flash red and horns seem to protrude from their heads. “HA, Ha, ha…” they laughed evilly. And out of no where I hear “Be wary, chances are you won’t survive, you should just go out the back while you can” and after that it turns back to normal. I walk forward again and more cautiously for what, I wish I knew…
I get to the house I climb the stairs and as I get to the platform it seemed to give way before I touched it. I reach it and it gives way. I run forward and the entire porch gives way at the same time. I try and leap over a huge gap and I don’t make it, I crash on a wooden platform. I hit a support beam soon after and I yell. I lie back down on the ground and hope not to hurt my, “proximity”, again. I sit back down and continue my descent. I pick up speed, more and more. It’s pitch-black after slipping for a good 35ft.
I’m slipping and sliding down a dark cement emplacement encased with slime. And right when I realize that I shouldn’t have come here, I’m shot trough a small hole. I’m falling for just a few seconds but it hurt a lot, as though I was forced onto something. I look down and I see Bones, I look to see what I sat on, ribs. I get up and I feel the ground growing lower. And spikes explode out of the walls! They almost hit me, and they’re attached to the walls via thick tethers, I hear some unwinding and the spikes sprint back to the walls.4

Walls!!!
Now the ground starts trembling, like an earthquake. I’m knocked to my feet and begin scrambling to my feet the walls seem to close together. I hope that it’s not going to shoot at me again. It does, and I sprint toward a spike and jump onto it. It hits the ground hard and slides. And gets deeper and deeper. Something flies out and hits me in the face. I hold on and get the thing off my face, to see what it is. It’s a skull it practically screamed death as blood oozed from the eye sockets. I check to see that I’m not bleeding, only a little. The skull flashes black and explodes sending me flying upwards.
I take this opportunity to try and climb out to the only opening I can see a little knot hole, geez is this whole house made of cement, wood and steel? I stand up on a, as it shoots out, after the walls got closer again. I am just barely hanging on with the toes of my feet. And some how I was worried about my face, you Wanna know why…Well I’m going to tell you, a spike was getting closer and closer to my face. And for the like hundredth time today time slowed down. It reaches 1 inch away from the bridge of my nose. And the children return in a flash they say, “Why did you not take our advise…Your going to die if you don’t use these powers that have been bestowed upon you to save us from this curse…We were in the same boat as you, but we were killed, we’re much nicer than the people and the offspring of the people who sent us to a grave to receive communal love in the wrong way… Don’t make the same mistake as us…We will save you this time, the rest will be up to you, just remember red, 7, dragon, 2 ½ (in a nasally voice)”
They all push against the spike and it seems to create a blinding light as they melt and the spike disintegrated. I open my eyes…5

I am inside this huge room with no walls it just seems to go on for miles and miles. I take a step. Again, the ground is warping under me I’m running on waves of wood. And I think I see a window but I am unsure. I run in that direction the waves growing in size and power. After a few more seconds the waves are 2,3 some 4 stories tall smashing down a surge of water and blood replacing the wooden boards as fields of it is demolished.
I grow smaller and smaller in comparison with the room. I am forced to start swimming in bloody water. Avoiding wood panels as they rush me in the meanwhile I’m trying to out swim the waves that are having growth spirits. I’m almost getting used to the pattern of panic and things take a turn for the worse.
You and me both thought it was bad already, right?6

Spiral Staircase
Spouts of fire erupt from under the water. And as they hit the water it creates a saunas’ worth of steam. The waves hit the newly formed land, bounce off. Hit the ceiling and shatters. It was raining fire. This house wanted me to die.
A bunch of splinters hit my head, engulfing my hair. I said “enough was enough” and stuck my head under water and dove. I opened my eyes to salt water, I squirm and scream a bit, but I must withstand the pain if I’m going to survive I put my mindset to.
I see the window again. I swim toward it only to realize it has bones resting on the window sill. They glow bright orange and start shaking. One by one they stick together forming a 3 headed hydra with a spiked spine. I starts to move, and, so do I! I reach the ground and search for ANYTHING to use as a weapon. I’m feeling around and I find a wood panel, I try and lift it, but I can’t find the corners. I continue my groping of the ground. And near the wood board I find a slightly elevated rusted Iron Rod, I lift on it and the wood board begins to lift.
The eruptions getting closer and closer the hydra 10ft from me and closing. I lift with all my might, air escapes from me, the bubble goes up and it touches the hydra, they make a huge grin and drools blood and pushes out the bones that were stuck in it’s teeth out, ready for a new meal. It goes faster and I use 100% of my strength and finally get it open. It lifts all the way open and a purple flame rushes out. When I can see, the first thing I see is the ground getting bigger. I make a large thud. The room seems to have returned to normal. I check for injuries…
Too many to count, but there’s a little more than I expected my bright white jeans turned to yellow, I don’t bother to see if they’re also brown. I look down the trap door; it seems to be a spiral staircase. There’s no light. I begin the decent. And spit to see if it’s an illusion and I can jump it. And after like, mm, 120 seconds I hear something from below, “hctib yeH”!. It’s distant but it’s for sure that I can’t jump it. I continue the decent. I get 4 or 5 more steps down and the door slams and hits the very tip of my head. I ease my way down one more step. Another flash, but this one is good!
A torch for my convince, I try and take it, it’s too hot, I just look at the amazingly perfect bricks while cooling my hand. Like an idiot I touched the flame. In the distance of 20-30 steps, I think I see jail bars. I’m unsure, so as I’m told to do by this idiot author I step down; “please save me”! The flame goes out and I trip and fall a bunch of stairs and I actually grab the bars. I get up dust myself off. And look inside and try and see what’s in there. Something grabs my neck. It puts its nails on the bristle hairs on my neck and says in a raspy voice, “Black or Red”? I respond “Red” with confidence and fear in my voice. Through the bars it gives me a lit torch and I still cannot see what’s talking to me. It laughs, coughs and then says in a raspier voice, “what’s your insignia”? “None”, I say in a confused. He says demonically, “Earn one”! Then let’s go of me and puts its hand on a leaver. The stairs beneath me shift to be diagonal I slip and I’m sliding fast as he//. I may have a torch, but that doesn’t mean I can see.
I’m much too fast to see. I think I don’t feel the ground. I get that confirmed “Clunk” I hit my head on something hard. The torch lands soon after me and the stairs lit on fire and it’s almost like its playing tag with me chasing me. I smell something horrible and pass out…7

Coliseum
I wake up to a bunch of Goblins tying me down. “Hehehe” one of them laughed, “another one answered wrong” I heard another chirping. I’m completely tethered down; I can’t even move my pinky. Neither one of them I begin to cry realizing I might die soon. And there’s nothing I can do about it! I’m still entering the coliseum I have no clue what’s going to happen to me as I go under an arch that puts the ST Louis arch to shame. I go all the way through a dust storm. They stop to put a blindfold on me. My eyes burn again. I can hear roaring from things like yelling at a baseball game. A lion roars and it pounces on my body. The goblins stop again and get the thing off of me. Right after they do someone jumps on me using me as a trampoline.
A few more seconds and I stop. The tethers are cut and I fall out because I’ve been struggling for all this time. The blind fold falls off. I’m in a jail cell. They chirp out “chose your armory we’ll be back when it’s your time to die”. I begin searching. I see some nice clothes that I like. Polyester and Leather 1 piece suit. I take off my ruined clothes. And switch clothing. I look at armor. Metal, Diamonds, Iron, a material I’ve never seen before and a broad sword that seemed to glow silver. I pick up the broad sword, it made me glow silver, purple and lime green. I think I got into the weaponry. I try and put it down. It refuses to let me let go of it. I figure that the glowing is the armor so I chose a weapon, Katanas, reapers, maces, laser guns, I’m just like whoa, there’s even some single hand shield, but I chose to pick-up the lightest laser gun I can see. It misfires I duck and the armor takes control of me and blocks the built in the palm of my hand, and I catch it. Unstable molecules and I’m holding them like it’s nothing. The leather clothing has a pocket, so I put it in there, and hope it doesn’t misfire. Then I smash the free floating energy, “Whoa” I say with glee. I take the biggest laser gun it seems to have a huge ammo capacity so I presume it’s a machine gun but it has a very large and long barrel, I don’t know what to think of it.
A goblin comes to check up on me, when he sees me he screams “2 and a half” and he faints. I look at me in the brass mirror; I seem to have imagined a brilliantly designed armor from my imagination. The sword takes control of it’s self and puts it up to my chest and continues to push. It burns and then it opens a hole in the armor and it places it’s self in me. When the armor closes, it forms to say the number 2 ½, I’m just amazed.
Some other dude comes out. He says in tenor’s voice “it’s your turn to fight soon, you ready to die, hehe, to bad”! He opens the bars, “you get to watch 1 fight, enjoy it.” I followed him outside. The instant roar of the people when the 20ft arched doors opened, nearly threw me off the ground.
I go up to the Plexiglas It’s covered with fog and dried blood. I can just barely make it out but I can see the fight. I see some guy with a tan vest and green shorts screaming like a baby being chased by an alligator with the head and neck of a cobra, but had the height of… I wanna say an elephant. It slows down a bit and whacks its tail on the ground, all of the people around feel the pulsation and is whipped to the ground.
I quickly get up to see what happens. All I see is the monstrosity falling into the air, making the dudes corpse fly up. It grabs it like a quarter in the air and chops the dude in thirds, the arena rotates as the thing enjoys its meal. It seems unphased by all the rumbling, the rotating and the change of height and scenery.8

Shadow
I ask the guy that towers over me by at least twice my height. I thought “I was going to fight that thing.” “Ha! You wish pipsqueak” and hurls me over the wall. I land in the center of the newly adjusted arena. I think I see a shadow grow in the distance. A bolder arrives flying at me with much velocity. I side-step to dodge it, it misses by mere centimeters. The rocks here smell like spoiled eggs. The air was thick and musty like a skunk’s spray. I move a little bit and I’m almost crying due to the horrendous smells around me. The roars are much louder in here. I can hear some people chanting, “Shadow Supreme, Shadow Overseize” It’s a mouth full but it appears like it’s going in a wave.
The shadow is continuing to grow and more objects are wising by me as I sprint for my life. A rock hits me in the side of the knee and I tumble down. My weapon slides away from me. The shadow is getting closer and closer as I leave my gun behind. It covers the gun. The gun slowly lifts off the ground and takes aim, at me! A huge rocket explodes out I just continue running as I now have to see a huge shadow of black with a ray of red piercing through the middle, chasing after me.
I sidestep left to dodge the ray. My foot is engulfed by the black. I try and take my foot out and it sucks me deeper every time I lift my foot. The ray gun is getting ready to fire upon me again and I’m a sitting duck. I take my chances in the thick black muck. I dive down to find that it brings me to a very open area.
Purple and black swirling in the background. My feet upon a field of Dark blue and turquoise swirling pattern. I take a step and I seem to rise off the ground. Amongst the abyss I hear evil laughter echoing in the distance. I take out my secondary laser and fire where I think it’s coming from. It goes forward until I cannot see it then I start to see the unforgiving glow of the red laser. Coming fast from behind me. I duck just in time.
The evil laughter turns to be more comical, he starts to appear, sure enough, as both you and I guessed, he’s light purple. He takes the form of me; apparently he’s a copycat with additional strength than the original. He has thick black and red flame like hair like me shoulders broad the biceps seem to be of natural size rather than the tiny wrist that I have for biceps. The one huge difference than him and me at this moment. He’s naked; he has no armor no weapon other than the gun he stole from me.
I blink; he’s right next to me. Laughs manically and jumps back. I’m confused, I raise my gun…
So does he.
I spin and make weird faces. He did the same.
I about face knowing he did the same.
I fire.
He does the same as I thought, I know his weapon is much more powerful, I let the bullets collide and without looking back, I duck, because he does what he sees me do.
The laser he fired is much bigger than I remembered. I duck, my hair’s fried. But it hits him dead-on without even running for him.
a huge orange flash and I close my eyes.
When I open them, they’re blinded by two suns overhead the coliseum.
No one knows what happened until pieces of Shadow start raining from the sky. Reining fear shadows the people, they stare at me with dismay and thin; nearly nauseous looks sweeps across they’re faces as they whisper to each other. Something that’s like 20ft tall comes out of thin air he takes out a stick. And points it toward the ground. He starts sweeping the ground of all the tiny bits. Out of nowhere. A huge explosion deafens me. I cannot see or hear anything.9

Deeth
When I can see again, I’m in the same cell as before. I hear these two Goblins whispering to each other.
"What are we going to do with this kid?"
"I don’t know, no one’s ever even survived against Shadow, and then this kid comes and beats him by outsmarting him!"
"I got it! Let’s “outsmart” the kid."
"were you being sarcastic?"
"Duh..! Dumbass!"
"Oh, so BrainBomb or Death?"
"“Deeth” you idiot, it’s pronounced Deeth and yes, we’ll give him another chance, the last time we let him fight, he affected the whole human world, I think they called it the “bubonic plague”"
"They should’ve called it “idiotic flatulence”"
"So do you wanna die, or should I wake him up from his deep sleep?"
"I’ll do it."
"Thank you. Good luck, don’t forget the holy chains, it’s the only thing that can contain him other than the coliseum walls."
He walks away his feet clapping on the stone pavement echoing off the stone walls. The claps getting smaller as he gets further and further away.
Complete silence, the eerie kind like in scary movies.
I hear a roar, a scream and many more scary noises. There are many more grunts and scowls and I hear a heavy metal chain plummets to the ground. I hear something mutter under it’s breath in pain. I hear the goblin call for back-up. “Gobe down Gobe down” I see a bunch of Goblins running in that direction. More grunting and they begin to pass me. I see a leather robe, a gold chain around where the neck should be and skeletal hand. Then it changes directions so fast I take a double take just to see if it really was anything. I just see this 9 maybe 10ft in length robe turning a corner. And what looks like a dozen Goblins chasing after him. And 4 carrying this poor mauled disfigured goblin it’s arm falls off and one of them goes back for it. This is all I got from that situation it was much too loud to hear what they were saying. I smell something horrible and I pass out.10

DEFYING DEETH
I wake up and I’m in a different coliseum. It’s nothing but pitch-black and covered top to bottom with lit purple moss; I pray it’s not Shadow covering the walls. I think I see a clear area, I go right up to it and look past it, I see a huge audience. It looks like all of the US’s population in one coliseum; and I’m positive there’s a lot more people than what I see. I hear an announcer say, “Fan’s of Paine are you ready?” There’s a huge roar that seems to cause an earthquake beneath me. “Good so lets welcome the 2 most hated contestants for their final bout they will fight it out until they are both dead or if there is a winner they’ll be left behind to starve or go completely insane, so anyway lets continue lets call to their death beds “Deeth and Some kid”. A single roar from the audience “Die Stupid Shiites”.
Another shadow sweeps across the little vision I have in this place. He gets right in my face, and in an indescribable voice clatters “please help me please!"
(and that's all i gots so far)11
