The Land Of No Return

Chapter 7

Get Caught

I threw the seashell, and yelled, "Gross!!!" She screamed, then words came out every few gasps, "Do you know how much that's.... worth? 15 million!.... Now it would only be worth, at... the most.... a...a.... dollar!" She recovered from the drama. Then threw her head back and laughed, "Man, I love watching all the boys who beat those furies cower when they hold a furies fingernail! Don't you know that all the seashell's in the world are furies nails as they get beat over and over and over again?" She just kept chuckling. He watched in horror, trying to find the words to say. "How long have you been here?" He asked. She tried to keep a straight face. "About one year." she answered.

"Where are my friends?"

"Your friends are busy right now."

I sighed, "So what can you do?"

She didn't answer for a few minutes. Finally she said, "A lot."

I was tired of being in this place so I made a run for it. I heard a growl behind my back. I didn't dare to look. The growling grew louder and louder. She was turning into a wolf to stop me! In human form she wasn't fast enough, but in wolf form she was stronger and faster. She jumped above me, but I didn't stop so she landed on top of me. Apparently, it was a loud commotion, because just then 3 adults, 1 child come in, 2 men and 1 women and a little girl. The lady yelled at Heather, "Hey! Get off of him! And turn back into human formation! Where are your manners? At home? Well, if they are then maybe we should get you some new ones. How would you like that? Go to the gym for fifteen hours straight. And.... no. You're not just going to sit there, you're going to be getting trained by Hunter. Now hurry, and HUSTLE!" She didn't even give Heather a chance to speak. "But... you see he was... well he was... he was getting on my last nerves. Then he tried to run away and... and..and," she stuttered so fast that she couldn't say the words. We just watched her as she tried to explain. I didn't realize it but behind the door was a bunch of kids trying to look for holes in the cabin, to peek on what's going on. The lady raised her eyebrow and looked at me then back to her. "Excuse me? Are you questioning me? Well, of course he'd run! Your a crazy maniac! I already told you that if you kept acting like a complete lunatic!," she sighed, then looked at her fingernails, "And look at this! My fingernail polish always cracks when I get upset, I have wrinkles ruining my makeup. Now... GET TO THE GYM. Hunter you go too!" She took deep breaths to calm herself down. She was really tall, her hair was stringy and blonde, her eyes were as red as fire, she had a lot of makeup, red lips full of lipstick, dark eye shadow, and a black gown jacket made of leather, like from the movie Matrix. The clothes inside the gown were also black and made of leather. One of the men sighed and went out the door with Heather, grumbling about how he always had to be the one to train the misbehaved ones. He was a short stubby man, with greasy looking hair. As Heather and Hunter went out the door I saw kids trying to look in between them.As the door was slammed closed behind them I saw the woman looking at me up and down with her hand under her chin. "Um...hello?" I asked over and over again but she seemed like she was in another dimension. I just watched as the man and girl whispered in each others ear. They were talking to fast to understand them. I just waited there and stared at the fury's nail.

The Story of Fuffy The Marshmallow-true Story

This is what happened to some boys in my class last year. It's Hilarious...

"Your brother's fat," Bryson (a.k.a fuffy the marshmallow) Austin gasps,"Take that back!" "Okay I take it back...You're sister's fat," Fuffy says. Austin gasps again... " Oh no you didn't!"

"Oh yes I did."

"Oh no you didn't."

"Oh yes I did."

"You wanna go, pal?"

"Yea, I wanna go."

Then they ran around the room like crazy. Bryson stopped, so did Austin. Bryson put his arms in some kind of position... then he said, "Mush mellow powers!" Then wiggled his fingers.

Another story was in Art & Music when he sat by me and across Vanessa, she pushed the table into his gut on accident. So he grunted. Then Vanessa said, "You're a cri-e baby." Then this is what he said, "Oh no you didn't."

"Oh yes I did."

"Oh no you didn't"

"Oh yes I did."

"You wanna go?"

"Uh... No." Then Vanessa laughed. So did I.

This is the Jazz team's C.J. Miles Dunking a basketball into the hoop! It was awesome!!!

A new person

I woke up startled. There was a girl who was patting a wet towel on my forehead. I didn't move my head, although I did see around the room with my eyes. It was a cabin which I'm guessing the cabin was for medical attention needs. On the north side was to doors, one on the left and one on the right. In the middle of those doors was a fireplace. On left and the South were about thirteen beds, including mine. On the right side wall was shelves covering the wall from top to bottom. It took the girl a few minutes to find out that I was awake. she ran out the left north door. She closed it, but I could still hear her yelling, "He's awake! He's awake!" I decided that the best thing for me to do is go back to sleep. I kept thinking, Maybe I'm being held hostage. Where's my friends? And it went like that for a long time. I couldn't go to sleep, so I pretended like I had fallen back asleep. I heard the door open then close a few minutes later. "What are you talking about, Heather? He's fast asleep," said a deep gruff man's voice. "I saw his eyes looking around! I'm serious, James. How could I be ha-" she was interrupted. "Maybe it's from all that training. You probably just want to believe it. I mean, he's been out for four days!" "I'm sorry I interrupted volleyball." she muttered. You could barely hear her, because her head was facing the ground. I heard the man walking away. The girl sat back down in the chair next to my bed. She started sobbing. "You can wake up now. He's gone. I only wish that you decided to play dead when someone else was on Seth watch," she sniffled. Seth watch? So they've been taking turns watching my every move? I kept thinking. I opened my eyes. Apparently, she knew I was awake, so what does it matter if I open my eyes. She looked at me her eyes red. She sniffed. Then made a disgusted face. "Nasty, you smell like monsters exploded on you," she said. I sat up straight all the blood draining from my head. I didn't talk until everything stopped moving around. "Well, of course I do. I did kill those Greek thingies," I coughed. I looked at her. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She was only a little bit shorter than me. I called the monsters that because I forgot the names for a moment, it was probably because of all the blood getting settled. She lifted her legs into the chair, then put her arms around her legs. "That was only some of the easy ones," she whispered, " There's so many more to come." As she talked I noticed that she had two sharp fangs, they weren't too sharp or anything. Just little sharp canines, like they were going to grow. That's when I noticed that the canines were similar to Rick's, and when I thought about that I noticed that the girl looked similar to Rick, as well. Then... it hit me, that this is Heather, Rick's little sister. I looked at her for a long time. After I few minutes I realized she was waiting for a reply. "Oh! Um... yeah, I believe that. You're Rick's little sister, Heather, aren't you?" I responded. She looked at me to the bed to the lumpy mattress I was lying on. "So you've heard of me, huh? Well, that's great. Yes I'm his sister, and I hate it. He treats me like such a baby. And when he's not doing that he's pushing me too hard," she said in a soft voice. when she said too hard you could hear a growl, that you would possibly get from a wolf. "Oh, I'm sorry. So... why are you here? You look like the type of person who would want to be free," I said, looking down at the floor. She stifled a little laugh. "It's not like it's your fault. You're right. I do want to be free from this wretched place. Camp gets on my nerves everyday, but I have to learn to control my anger," she smirked. I could tell she was getting looser and looser. She smiled, "Oh! I almost forgot! Here take this." She handed me a sea shell with a beautiful design. "Cool. Where'd you get it?" I asked

"I didn't get it, YOU got it. It's the fury's nail."

Chapter 5

My First Battle with Monsters

"Thanks for the info. I guess." I said. I didn't know what I was supposed to say. If I knew Ruby was a vampire when I met her I probably would've ran screaming at the top of my lungs. "Your welcome." I realized I would miss school on the second day. That's bad for my reputation. Now everyone's going to think I'm going to miss school a lot. Then again two thirds of these people were zombies. "I wish we could go to school, but my mom said that this was a matter of life and death," I told C.J. Just then he turned to the house one block away from mine. "It's cool, dude. I don't even want to go to school," He replied. "Oh, okay. So whose house is this? Where's camp?" I asked. "This is Casey's house. Camp's at Fisher Island," He said. We were walking up the steps when the door opened. Casey was coming out the door. She jumped when she saw C.J. and me there. "Uh...Hi," she said searching for words. "Hi. Seth knows about camp. We have to take him there," C.J. told her. She looked at me, "Okay, but we should probably tell Rick." "No! You know how I feel about Rick! We can't tell him. We have to go straight there." I was looking back and forth, from one to another. Why was it that I was the only one who didn't know about camp? She kept staring at me. "What is he?" she asked. "Can't you tell by his energy? He's a wizard," C.J. replied. "That energy could radiate from anything powerful. I know he's not a sorcerer. I don't sense that much power," She said. "What are you two?" I asked. I thought I was so smart for asking that. Nobody ever thought of asking what I am. They both looked at me. "I'm a sorcerer. Sorcerer's are the most powerful things alive. Sorcerers are some of the most smartest things alive. We're also the most beautiful. You're lucky I have manners, or else I'd be reading your mind," said Casey. "I'm a G.I.G. A giant in growing. Humans think that we're some kind of dumb monster, who's brain doesn't work very well, so we sound like Hulk. Well, HA, the joke's on them," was C.J's answer. That's when I took back my "so smart for asking that question." "So what's Rick?"I asked. C.J. was about to state the answer but then Casey did. "Rick's a werewolf. So is his sister, Heather. They're incredibly fast, and strong. They connect with anything, with their mind, when they're in animal form," Casey smiled. She was proud for knowing everything about Rick's type. I didn't know why but it hurt me inside to know that she knew everything about Rick. It was obvious that she liked him, more than just a friend. "Okay, well, we better get going,"C.J. said. We were walking to the bus station. We sat down on the bench and waited. "Who has the apples?"I asked, as we sat down. They looked at me for awhile. "Oh! The apples for Reena! I totally forgot that we needed to get those. Oh my goodness. I'm so sorry! I haven't been to camp for a few months. We're going to have to stop by a store," Casey told us. We waited for a silent moment. Fortunately, the bus was only a few blocks away. The bus driver looked at us as we walked on. "You, kids, running away from home?" he asked. He had a toothpick in his mouth, he was a bit chubby, and his: I'M A BUS DRIVER hat was to small for his head. "Of course not sir," We all said together. "Okay, then I suppose you can get on the bus," he said, pointing the top of his head to the seats. That meant we needed to get a move on into the seat. His voice was raspy and sounded like it would hurt talking with that voice. I'm no expert, but I think that guy was a smoker. As we walked to the seat I whispered,"Aren't we supposed to pay?" They both looked at each other than at me. They started laughing like crazy. "Are you kidding me? On this bus you don't pay a penny." they yelled. I had to sit alone because there were only to seats together. C.J. and Casey across from me. I looked at my reflection in the window. My cheeks were turning bright red. I sat there staring at the window, watching buildings pass by. When the bus hit the next stop an old lady came waddling towards the seats. Behind her was a man that looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man came up to me. "Excuse me, but my poor old mum is going to need a seat. May she sit here?" he asked me. Unfortunately, he had a New England accent, and not a Austrian accent. "Um. Yeah. Sure," I replied. the old lady came in between me and the window. The guy walked to the back of the bus. The lady smelled like prune juice. She had gray and white hair, that was in a bun. Her face was all crinkled like paper that's been in someones pocket for a long time. She was about four feet tall. You couldn't see the eye color because her wrinkled face was hiding it. She was wearing a pink, with little flowers as a pattern, dress. Her wrinkly old hand came to my face. Then she pinched my cheek. "Oh, such a good little boy letting me sit here," she said. Her voice was like fingernails scraping against the chalk board. "Thanks. That's not usually what you hear every day," I said back. I tried to make it not obvious that I was trying to get her hand off my face, but every time I flinched her grip would just get tighter. My friends looked at me, with worried eyes. They acted like statues. They wouldn't move. The old lady sighed, "Such a handsome young man. Too bad all that beauty will go to waste. I mean, honestly, the fates should have made you the most ugly thing on earth." I stopped moving. "Let me guess, you want to kill me too. Probably, because you're some kind of monster," I said with a wisp. I had one because she was stretching my cheeks! She made this clacking noise into her purse. Just then the man comes and blocks the exit away from the crazy old lady. The lady lets go of my cheek. The bus has stopped. I thought it was because we were at a bus stop, but then I realize that time was frozen. Nothing was moving, except C.J, Casey, me, then the man and the monster lady. All of a sudden Casey yells, "Seth, cover your eyes!"

Right after I cover my eyes there's a bright light all around me. I hear this shrilling noise. After the shrilling was gone I dared to look up. As I looked up, replacing the man was a minotaur. And next to me wasn't an old lady anymore it was one of the Furies. "If you find us the orb, boy, we'll give you your mom and dad," She hissed. Now her voice sounded like nails against the chalkboard while a rattle snake tries to protect itself. My eyes widened. "What have you done with them?" I yelled. It was hard to hear me when the Fury's wings kept flapping up and down. She was leathery and had a crinkled face. "Captured them of course," she cackled. Casey whispered in my mind, "Don't do it, Seth." C.J. tossed me a black thing. As I got it. I examined it. It was a knife with a black blade. I stabbed the Fury. She screamed with agony. Then as fast as she started screaming she disappeared, leaving back some dust. The minotaur whacked the blade away. The knife went to the back of the bus. I was getting sick of these monsters. I could feel my anger stacking up inside me. I yelled, then punched the minotaur. It hurt my knuckles, but I didn't care. I wanted this monster gone. He hit me in the stomach and my body flew to the front of the bus. I coughed. I grabbed a pen from the bus driver's chest pocket. Then jumped on the Minotaurs back. I clicked the pen. I stabbed the Minotaur in the eye. It wailed. While he was confused I ran to the back of the bus, found the knife, then ran back to the Minotaur just in time. It's pain was over. I had only made it angry. I stabbed the Minotaur, then poof. He was gone. The only thing left of him was his horns. I fell to the ground.

Greatest Days of My Life!!!

These aren't the absolute greatest days of my life. But they are when you're talking about school, and stuff like that. I just got a BYU sweatshirt that I'm wearing to school tomorrow. People are always saying stuff to me. I get to hang out with my friends from last year. I'm always in a good mood lately. I'm writing my book. How could it get any better? School is so fun. It's kinda sad for me to have weekends. But then I go hang out with some friends. So every day is amazing! I'm planning that on some weekend when it's sunny I'll invite a ton of friends to come and play kickball. Like McDonald would say/sing, " Buh da buh buh ba. I'm lovin it!"

The Land Of No Return

Chapter 4

Nightmares

"Did I hear what I think I heard?" I asked mom. My mom heaved out a big sigh,"Sweetie, you did. And as much as I want to deny that you heard that, I can't. Because you met a witch who hasn't been able to tell right from wrong yet." "Mary!!! Come down here and serve me!" yelled Hairy. She rolled her eyes. "I got to go." As she left I thought Why do you put up with that creep? She would tell me to mind my manners and go get some broccoli if she heard me say that aloud. I grabbed my favorite book, Percy Jackson & The Olympians- The Last Olympian. That book always made me feel better. It reminded me that anybody with a goal can be a hero. Also Percy reminds me a lot of myself. While I was reading chapter One I noticed that Luke is a lot like Rick, C.J. was like Grover, and Casey was like Annebeth. And.. I was Percy. I thought That's impossible. Just because you have a connection to the book doesn't mean that you're going to have the same story. I wasn't sure if I believed that. I mean, you can never be too cautious. I was going to be careful around Rick from now on. A little voice in my head said But he's so nice. How could you ever accuse him like that? That's just plain mean. I started getting in an argument with that area in my mind. It was like that until I had to go down for dinner. I found the dining room after 5 minutes. It had a gigantic crystal chandelier in the middle of the room. Under the chandelier was the table that was big in length. What in the world? It's not like we're going to have this many people in the dining room that often. I picked a random seat. As I sat in the seat I suddenly felt like a king. The seat was red, and cushioned my behind. My mother was really jumpy while we waited for our food. When the waiter came in he bent like he was bowing then when he was facing the ground he put the tray in the middle of the table. He pulled the lid off the tray. At first it looked really good. But we'd have to use the old tongue tester. I grabbed my fork and stabbed the thing, took a big chunk then ate it. It was so sweet and juicy. "This tastes really good. What is it?" I said chewing on the thick meat. "It's pig meat, sir," the waiter said. I coughed and spit. Nothing came out of that spit I did. I ran looking for the bathroom. I could already feel the pig coming back up. I once had a pig that got slaughtered. I promised myself I would never eat pig again. Plus the eyes were still in the meat. Which means the pig saw us eating him. I found the bathroom, closed the door, locked it, then went to the toilet. There was a knock at the door."Sweetie? You alright in there?" Mom asked. I didn't give a straight answer, my answer was more like BLAH!! After that my mom was usually in a 1 mile radius of me. I walked to the upstairs bathroom to brush my teeth. The bathroom was as big as my old room. The bath tub was also a hot tub, the Shower was separated from the tub. And on the other side was another door that lead to the toilet! I looked in the mirror to see a girl's definition of cute. I had brown short hair. I was about 5 feet tall. I had bluish green eyes. After a few minutes of examining me, I decided to brush my teeth. After I was done I went out the door then made my bed. I'm the kind of person who likes to make my bed right before bed. When I was about to get in bed my mother came over to me. Her eyes were red from crying. "I want you to know I love you. And I'm sorry I can't come to camp with you. If I did the dragon would burn me to ashes," she sniffled. She sounded as though we would never see each other. "Wait... what's happening? You act like you won't see me again. It's just a camp, mom. Nothing special,"

"It's more than that. It's... oh, never mind. I don't want you worried during the night."

She put her hand on my cheek. She didn't think I noticed it... but there was a tear coming down her face. I stayed up till 11:00 thinking about all the events that occurred today. I didn't know but, I slowly drifted to sleep.

***

My dream was that I did tell C.J. to take me to camp. Him, Casey, and me went to the camp. In big letters, on the top of a wooden arch way entering camp, was a sign that said: CAMP HORRORS. I don't know about you, but I would be scared to enter a camp called camp horrors. It's not the kind of name that would attract a lot of campers. C.J. and Casey seemed totally normal about the name. As we went under the arch way the dream shifted. I was watching a man in a special cloak running through the woods, getting chased by something. The thing had evil powers and I could sense it. The man turned toward me. He had greenish gold eyes, full of terror. His hair was brown and short. That moment I knew it was my father, who I'd just found outs name is Arrogus. He looked away from me. He was facing the dark creature. He grabbed from his pocket what looked like a tree branch, pointed it at the darkness, then kept colorful things coming out of the tree branch, hitting the monster. That didn't slow it down a bit. The monster finally attacked the pray. I see my father's face one more time, before a dark shadow crosses his face. He was gone.I woke up to the sound of my screaming. After a few minutes my mom was in the room. "What happened?"

"I had this bad dream...that's all." I hesitated if I should tell her what the dream was about. I didn't.She didn't want me to worry in the night, I don't want her to either. "It's alright, mom. You can go back to sleep." She looked at me with tired eyes, then smiled. "Okay," she whispered. She walked out of the room.

***

In the morning, I did what I usually do in the morning: 1. Wake up at 7:00 in the morning 2. Get dressed 3.Go to the bathroom 4. Brush my hair 5. Brush my teeth 6. Do my business. Then go downstairs. I poured myself some Captain Crunch cereal. I sat down at the kitchen counter to eat my cereal. There was no way I would go in the dining room to eat alone. I'd feel so small. I almost forgot all about yesterday. Until I saw the note my mom left on the fridge. It said:

Dear Seth,

DON'T FORGET TO REMIND C.J. about camp. If you do then we'll all be in grave danger. Call my work phone when you get to camp. I already called James, the camp director. Don't be surprised if yesterday was the last time you ever see me. Also when you come to Reena (the dragon) you might want to have 3 apples for her. Then.. well, your her best friend. She's actually really nice. It's just that she's been trained to guard the place. And they only feed her big mounds of food once a week, now. I love you, Seth.

-Mom

On the right side of mom's signature a small area of the paper was wet, from a teardrop. I saw the clock. It was a lot earlier than I used to go to school, but I remembered that I had to walk to school now. There was a knock at the door. I opened the door. C.J. was standing at the door way. "What's up, my bro?" He asked. "Uh... The sky?" I didn't know what he meant. A lot of things are up. The sky, the ceiling, me. Then I realized he meant what's happening. "Oh! I mean nothing much." "Sorry I couldn't walk with you. Casey and me had to go shopping for golf balls. Let me tell you, It's not easy finding them at your local store. Unless you get the whole pack of stuff. But, hey, I'm walking with you now." I grabbed my backpack and headed out the door. We were quiet for the first few minutes we were walking. So, I decided to bring up the topic right now. "I need you to take me to camp," I said. He stopped walking and looked at me. "Excuse me, what did you say?"

"You have to take me to camp." He came closer to me.

"You're not supposed to know about camp unless you've been in danger. What happened?"

So I told him the story about the "younger generation witch". "Then you met a girl that was pale white. Isn't that what you told me?" "Yes. that's exactly what I told you."

"You met a vampire." "A what?" "A vampire." He exaggerated on the vampire.

"One of the oldest ones in the book, in fact. Yeah... I met her in New York once. Lucky for us, she's usually good." he told me.

The Land Of No Return

Chapter 3

The Truth

The red-headed girl finally catches up to me. She looks up and down at me, like she's studying me. "You must be the new kid, Seth," She informed her followers. "His father's Arrogus," she went on. "Whoa, Whoa... How would you know my fa..dad's name? I don't even know that," I blurted out. "So he's a wizard?" one of the girls asked, totally ignoring the question. She had stringy brown hair, and the only one wearing makeup. I felt like the red head was leaning over me, so that I had to lean backwards. Since she was so close I saw that she had a few freckles. She looked like the wild, and mean Pippy Long stocking. "Of course, he's a wizard, dummy! One of the most powerful ones. We have to get rid of him before anybody finds out," snapped Evil Pippy. "How about let's not?" I winced. I tried my best to sound confident. I didn't want to get beat up. Especially by a girl. Pippy remembered that I could hear what she was saying. She gave me the best I'm-a-cute-girl-thats-not-going-to-hurt-you smile. "Hi, I'm Jenny. You probably haven't seen me because I'm in a different class. I know that none of this makes sense, yet, but you will soon enough," then she murmured,"That is if you live that long." "Excuse me?" "Oh! Nothing. Nothing, at all," she smiled again. "Well, uh, thanks for introducing yourself! But I think I need to head home now! Bye!!!" I said with anxiety. I didn't care where I went, I just wanted to get away from these creeps. I turned my back really fast, then started to walk really fast. "Now, wait a minute, you're not going anywhere!" She said walking behind me. I started to run. "Get him!!!"she yelled. They ran after me. I heard a giggle from behind a bush I passed. After I blinked I saw a girl standing in my way. "Hi...do you think you can move out of the way?" I said looking back behind me and looking back at the girl. She giggled," You're kinda cute. That's why I'm going to help you get away from those girls. Come on, follow me." I didn't complain. She brought me into a big bush. "Thanks. What's your name? Mine's Luke."

"Ruby. I'm in 5th grade, but I'm home schooled. Luke... that's a cute name." said the girl. I looked at her, she had red eyes, the whitest teeth, wavy brown hair, and pale skin. "Your's is a..cute name too. Why does Jenny want to 'get rid of me'?" I stifled. Her expression darkened,"Because she senses your power. I do as well. But she probably went deeper than just sensing. She must have read your mind." "What? Is she like beyond human intelligence, or something?" I tried to make a joke. But, apparently, she doesn't have a good sense of humor. For example, she laughs/giggles about me being cute, but not a good joke. Honestly, I thought it was pretty funny. All she did was say, "Or something." She was giving me the answer to my question. I didn't notice it until Ruby told me that the girls had passed and that I'm good to go home. Even when a girl tells you that other girls left you can never be too sure. As far as I know, that girl could've been helping them, like a double agent. On the way home I ran, and whenever I saw one tiny movement I'd jump behind anything that could hide me. I had so many questions going through my head like, What does Ruby mean I'm powerful? Are those girls still looking for me? How did Jenny know who my father was? Don't C.J. and Casey live in this neighborhood too? If they did then why didn't they walk home with me? and stuff like that. When I got home my house looked HUGE compared to my old house. I never actually got to see my new home before that day. The plane came to a stop this morning, so I went straight to school in the car that was waiting for us. I walked in the big wooden oak doors. I just wanted to get to my room. I didn't care about the rest of the house. I only wanted to lay on my bed. When I found the stairs, they were blocked by a fat guy. "What do you want, Hairy?" I asked. "Hey you should be bowin' down to me, punk. I pay for all of this," he replied. "Oh please. You don't even have a job. If it weren't for my mom you wouldn't even have the guest room. Then you'd turn into a hobo!"I smirked. This was my moms boyfriend, Harry. He's never noticed it but I call him Hairy. He's hairy everywhere except the top of his head. "Oh you think so, runt? Well how would you like me kickin you out of the house?"

"Yeah right, you can't do that. Now let me upstairs," I said trying to squeeze through.

"Why should I, punk?"

The thing with Hairy is that he always calls me runt or punk. Finally, when he still didn't let me through I tackled his big, fat, belly with the top of my head. That's what usually get's him to move. So I ran through the halls looking for my room. I opened the door and the room was huge. On the right side was a dresser in between to doors. One led to my bathroom, the other to my closet. On the left side the was my bed and two night stands on each side. On the north wall was all my football stuff that was signed. Like a big jersey from one of the B.Y.U players, that was signed. There was a football that was played in the super bowls 2010, Colts against Saints. The foot ball was in a glass case glued to the wall. I ran to the king sized bed and jumped on it. That's when I learned it was a water bed, that I had just belly flopped onto. I groaned in pain. Then I checked my stomach. It was bright red. "Honey, I'm home!" Mom shouted from downstairs. "I'm up here," I yelled back. A few minutes later mom was in my room. "Mom, I think it's time to talk about dad," I softly said. My mom stiffened. "Honey, I thought we discussed that we wouldn't talk about him until you're the right age."

"But mom there were these crazy girls chasing me. They were also babbling on about my father being Arrogus!" I said. She stiffened so much she could've been a Barbie doll.

"Tell me everything." So I did. "You just described a witch who's in her younger generation." She whimpered. "Honey, tomorrow tell C.J. that you need to go to camp." "Camp?"

"Yes, camp. He'll know exactly what you're talking about."

She got up to start leaving. "Wait, I want to hear about dad."

She came back and sat on the bed. "You're father is one of the most powerful wizards in the world. Which means so are you."

All I could say was, "What?"

The Land Of No Return

Chapter 2

P.E.

"Because the milk makes all these people the way they are. so does the orange juice," Casey informed me. "Don't say it too loud," C.J. whispered. "The security camera can't hear us, and it's not like these people care!"she said a little more quiet. "Yeah, but these zombies can still hear you!"C.J. Grunted. "Wait. You mean they're always watching us?"I asked. They both turn to look at me. It was obvious they forgot I was there. "Yes, and most of the security cameras can hear what we're saying as well,"Casey replies. "Are these people zombies? Or did they have a life before they drank the milk and orange juice?" I asked. "No they're not real zombies. They did have a life. and if we got all these people to stop drinking the milk for at least a month, then they get their lives back, unless they start drinking it again," C.J. said. At the end of lunch break it was P.E. I knew that the team I would be on would win. This Rick guy was probably just another fake zombie. Boy, was I wrong. Rick was this guy with a tan, black hair, shiny white teeth in this dazzling smile. "Sorry I never got to formally introduce myself. I've been so busy. Hi, I'm Rick," he took my hand and shook it hard. "And I'm Seth. Nice to meet you Luke," I said, while feeling my shoulder to make sure it wasn't out of its socket. I was one of the last people picked. I was on C.J. and Casey's team. Both teams had half normal people and half zombie people. Each team made sure that the zombie people sat out while normal people played. It wasn't a surprise that Rick was good. He looked like the sports type of guy, but C.J. was better. C.J. was not joking when he said he was good at basketball. Every time he shot he made it. He can jump so high he did like a million slam dunks. I guess that's why they named him C.J. Because he's just as good as the Utah Jazz player, C.J. Miles. It must seem weird that I, living in Miami, Florida, know Utah, on the other side of the country's, basketball team. It's not weird. I actually moved to Miami from Sandy, Utah. Our team won by two points. I guess I did pretty good. I got us four points. But the rest of the team, at least, got 10 points each person. So I guess I did horrible compared to these people. On our way back to class Rick came up to me,"Hey! You did a pretty good job at basketball!" He patted me on the back. "I did terrible." He frowned,"Hey. It was your first game. Don't feel bad." I kept thinking about how I was told about the milk. And before I know it the bell's ringing for me to go home. I walk to my locker as little kids kept running into me. "Watch were you're going!"I yelled at almost every one of them. I do my locker combo. "46-26-44" I mutter under my breath. It took me about five tries to open my locker. After the fifth time I started screaming,"Uuuggggggghhhhhhhh!!! Why won't you open!?" As I start to leave giving up on opening my locker the lockers all of a sudden start to make a loud banging noise as they open and close. All on the same wall my locker was on.My locker was wide open not banging against the wall. As I got closer the other lockers started opening and closing faster and faster. It was a good thing nobody was around. Or else they were going to think I started all the racket. As I got the stuff from my locker I closed it. It had never occurred to me that maybe the banging was my fault. They started to slow down as I walked outside. Then I had this awesome song come into my head so I started snapping and humming. And as I did my first snap, I didn't realize it until it was too late but, all the lockers suddenly closed. I walked home still humming . Just as I leave the school grounds I hear,"Hey, new guy, wait up." I turn around to see these 3 girls, who look my age, running up to me. The one leading the other girls had curly red hair, like fire, all around her face, she had eyes that were pure black with hatred, her skin was a little tan, she was skinny, but you could tell that she was way strong.

The Land Of No Return

Chapter One

HORRIBLE Milk

Everyday's a challenge for people like me. People who have ... issues, I guess you'd call it. My name is Seth Watson. I'm 11 years old. Today's the first day of school, August 21st. I'm going to Jefferson Elementary, in Miami, Florida. My mom had just dropped me off in front of the school. "Have a great day at school, honey," my mom called as I got out. "Believe me, I'll try." I muttered. I already knew it wasn't going to be "great." It was going to be the first day of school, I didn't know anybody there, so it could never be great. Now, in most books kids are getting teased or bullied, this one's different. All the students said hi in real welcoming voices. I know I should be pleased, but, to tell you the truth, I was creeped out. Only one third of the students and teachers didn't act like that, but most were weird that didn't welcome me like a zombie. I looked for my class. When I found it, most of the class acted like they were on one of those happy shows were you just have to act like life's perfect. Of course it wasn't perfect, no human being would ever act like that. After class a boy came next to me. "Hi. I'm Carson Jefferson, but everybody calls me C.J." the normal boy said. He had big brown eyes, he was about the same height as me, his hair was shaggy and brown, and when he talked he looked like he didn't want anybody to hear him. "Oh so, your the principals son? Is that why your last name's Jefferson?" I asked. "No. It's just a coincidence." he replied. A pretty girl ran up to us. "Hi C.J. Can't wait for P.E. We've already decided that I'm first captain, and Ricks second," she blushed when she said Ricks name. She had long brown, mostly straight hair, the outside of her pupil was green slowly turning brown, and she wasn't wearing makeup. I hate girls that wear makeup, which is almost every girl in this school. She smelled like watermelon.

She looked at me with distaste, "Who's he?"

"His name's Seth. He's the new kid." I thought she was going to say something like Wow your new! That's so awesome! You good at sports? I totally want you on my team in P.E. Instead she said, "Oh...hi. Well C.J. I want you to hide so that Rick can't see you. Then I'll pick you. And don't forget to tell Seth the things not to do." She walked away. "I'm really good at Basketball. That's why she wants me on her team. Now, let's go play some kick ball," C.J. told me. "What's her name?" "Casey. She's one of the most awesome girls in 5th grade. She's sporty, smart, pretty, and nice. Now, can you walk a little faster?" So I sped up and started having to jog. C.J. walked pretty fast. "What did she mean 'tell me what not to do'?" I asked.

"You ask a lot of questions you know that? I'll tell you what not to do once we're in the cafeteria. Where no one can hear us." I stopped, wide-eyed, "What?" He stopped too,"Gosh! Okay I'll tell you later. Okay? Right now would not be the best time." He started walking again. So did I,"So who's Rick?" "You'll see," he sang in those tunes when you're annoyed by something. "I'll see at P-" "LALALALALALA," he said in frustration. When we got there I was surprised at how good I was at kickball. I got tons of home runs. I definitely wanted to do this every recess, until during one of my home runs I found out that the only reason I was getting them without getting dirty. They only smiled and clapped. Like I said before... zombies. I walked to class, wondering why they never stopped me. "Today class we'll be learning about chemical reactions," said my unboring-not zombie- teacher, Mr. Trolley. He has crutches because his foot got ran over by one too many bikes, so one of his feet was in a cast, he had dark skin, black hair, and big blue eyes. In class we were supposed to make the balloon full of gas, but I somehow came out with a stink bomb. Everybody had to leave the room immediately, but on the bright side we got to eat lunch early. C. J. came up to me grinning and chuckling, "Dude, seriously a stink bomb? heh heh hilarious!"C.J. said grinning. "So what do you have to tell me?"I asked. "Oh right. Don't drink the milk or the orange juice. Tell them you're allergic to dairy and you've never liked orange juice in your life." I didn't complain. As the line C.J. and I were in got to the area were we pick our lunch, for the first time I saw a fat person. Everybody here was skinny, except for her. She had her hair in a net. She was short and stubby. She was wearing a pink nurses dress with an apron over it. On the apron there was a name tag that said in big capitol letters: KARRY. With a big smile of her yellow teeth she said, "What would you like, kid?" She didn't look at me when she asked the question. She was looking at nothing at all. "Uh. I don't know. Hmmm. Let me think. Hmmm. Let's see. I'll have- oh no nevermind. Oh! I'll have-" I was interrupted. "Kid, you're blocking the line. Hurry up and pick," she said not smiling anymore, and looking straight at me. She keeps at it, until all of a sudden she blinks then says, "Oh! I'm sorry. Please take all the time you need." She was smiling again. But I could tell that she was still annoyed. "Okay. I'm trying Miss. Mood Swing,"I whispered. "Um. Okay. I'll have a uh..." Plop. She put some weird semi-liquid meat on my tray. "What is this?" I asked trying not to puke. "Mystery Meat. Can't tell you the delicious secret inside of it." she gave me a smirk. I started to slowly turn my back to walk away, while C.J. told her his order. When he's done and runs up to me Karry says,"Wait you forgot your milk." We slowly turn around. "Oh I'm allergic to dairy." "Well then try our orange juice." "I HATE orange juice." She looks at me then at C.J. then back to me. "What about you C.J?" "Sorry, but you know I'm allergic to orange juice and dairy, Karry,"he answered nervously. She walked back behind the food bar muttering something about no good boys allergic to dairy. And how dumb we are for not liking orange juice. We sit on one of the round tables, when Casey slides onto one of the round seats. "Lucky we're all in the same class, huh?" she asks. "Yeah real lucky,"I mutter under my breath. But nobody could hear me. "So... what's wrong with the milk?" I wonder. They both look at me like I'm crazy for not knowing.

The Land Of No Return

Prologue

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" they all screamed as they ran away, from the horrible beasts lurking around. My friends, and I tried to save them all. But how could an 11 year old group of kids stop the most vicious things alive? I wanted to believe that none of this was true. That all this was just a nightmare from that spoiled milk and pizza, I accidently had, last night. I pinched myself, to wake from the nightmare, but never found myself in bed. I was still there, panting for air from all the running. There was no running away from this horror. It was all to real, these monsters were everywhere and everything. At that very moment I, Seth Watson, knew that all myths are true.

The Awesomest Dance Move Invented

I didn't have a blog on Wednesday, so I couldn't blog that on Wednesday my class went to P.E (Physical Education). And we were doing the Winter Olympics (My team was way ahead), and for the last event we did the most embarrassing of all... ice skate dancing. My team-team U.S.A- had planned to make a circle of our team go in the circle two times, then do a 360 spin three times, then free dance. It was finally USA's turn to go we did exactly as we planned, but for my free time I did something that nobody else thought of to do. First I started by doing the disco dance - where your hand points to the sky, or ceiling, then your arm passes your stomach, your pointer finger's pointing to the ground- about three times. Second, I made the peace sign with both hands and slid them across my eyes. Thirdly- the "something" no thought about doing- I grabbed my right ankle with my right hand, grabbed the back of my neck with my left hand. My left foot the only thing on the ground. I had my left elbow almost touch my right knee!!! I kept doing that as I heard the three other teams, Canada, Mexico, England, cheering so loud for...ME!!! Then last I walked backwards with my arms making a wave. As my team goes to our spot on the floor you can see and hear the crowd with their loud applauds. I even got 2 of the teams, England, and Mexico, to give me a standing ovation. How do I know it was only for me? Because they were yelling at the top of their lungs, "YEAH NAOMI!!! WOOHOOO!!! YOU ROCK!!!" Okay, so, maybe I'm exaderating a little. They didn't yell at the top of their lungs. But they did yell, and the rest of this is true.

Hi!!! I'm new, and I'm Naomi. I'm probably going to post videos, write stories, and maybe give some advice. I know that my title is weird, but it has my name in it. I don't allow rude or bad comments. If it has anything bad I WILL delete it. So other than that please enjoy! :D
