When I awoke I was still in the field. I saw Zebediah standing over me with his palms spread. He hit his knee and I began to feel the energy moving through my body fixing me.
When he was finished I thanked him and he drove me home. We said goodbye and I went to get some rest.
Weeks went by and things were peaceful. I spent my time trying to figure out what the Dark Warlords had done to me. But nothing changed so I didn�t worry about it.
Amanda and I had our random midnight rendezvous. Each one was very full of love. Life just seemed to be getting better.
Until my dad and I started fighting. We fought over everything. The slightest thing would spark conflict.
Over time I realized that all my relationships had become trying. I could only determine that there was something wrong with me.
Finally, Zebediah and Brently were training me. Zebediah was trying to help me on my energy management.
I screamed, �I�ve had enough of this!� Then I punched the wall and watched it turn to dust. �I know I�m strong enough, it�s time that I attack!� I exclaimed.
�We can�t! None of us are ready!� Brently said.
�Bullshit! I�m ready,� I exclaimed.
�You can�t take on the Warlords by yourself!� Zebediah yelled.
�The hell I can�t!� I yelled, �I�m going!�
Then Zebediah and Brently grabbed me. I knocked Zebediah off then punched Brently and knocked him across the field. I looked at him not knowing what to feel. Then I turned and headed toward the middle of the field.
�Legendary Dark Warlords, race of evil I call thee forth for final battle!� I screamed.
When they arrived I realized what had happened, around ten Dark Warlords had arrived.
They grabbed me and started beating me. their fists like stones against my body. I thought my bones would snap.
Then I saw Brently running toward me. Lightning bolts were flying from his body. He started attacking Warlords left and right. I remember thinking that he might actually win.
But ultimately his attacks weren�t strong enough. One of them grabbed him by the throat, I was beaten so badly that I couldn�t even move to save him. I looked at Zebediah with hope but I had hit him so hard he was unconscious. Then the Warlord put his right hand at Brently�s chest. An energy beam shot strait through.
I watched his eyes glaze over and his head fall back and I knew he was dead.
Then the Warlord threw his body like a rag doll. Zebediah must have awaken because he caught Brently�s body and grabbed me and ran. We left the Dark Warlords laughing in the middle of that field.
The threat of death wasn�t real until then. My best friend was dead!
We put his body in a barn and blew it up to blame the death on an accident.
All I could think about was the fight we had and the words I said right before he died. �You only live once!� it was our motto.
