Chapter 4 — Again

I wake up, panting frantically.

“Was that…a dream?”

I stare at my hands

“It had to be. I thought to herself.”

I get out of bed and get ready

“Sweetie, come eat!”

“Ok! I responded”

I walk back downstairs with my wooden sword.

“Sleep well sweetie?”

“Yes? I said confused”

“Didn’t she just ask me that yesterday. Why is she repeating herself? I thought to myself.”

“Your tournament is soon so you should eat.”

“She said that too. I thought to myself”

“Ok”

We are in silence once more.

“I’m off.”

“Ok, have a good day, sweetie.”

“Why is she saying the same things as yesterday? Wasn’t it a dream? I thought to myself.”

I walked back down to the park confused.

Then I noticed wait how many days did I go back no way it’s been a whole month?!

I check my phone, and no, it’s June 1st.

Bang.

I turn to see what happened, and the same kids hit me with the ball again.

“Sorrrry.”

The same kid says again

I stare at the lot of kids this time

And before they could get out what they were about to say I said.

“Sorry kids, I have to go.”

“Awwwwwww, ok.”

I ran off down the street with my wooden sword thinking.

“What is going on???”

“Was that dream real after all?”

“It can’t be.”

“Did I….die?”

I run and then I stop.

I walk into an empty space full of trees.

Furthermore, I grab my wooden sword and out of frustration I strike the tree.

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

SHING.

I sliced the tree…

Into 2…

With one strike.

I look at my hands and think.

“What is going on?”

I did it again and again and again.

Every tree I hit falls down

“What is this power? I think to myself.”

—

After practicing, I go back home.

I walk through the door

“I’m home.”

“Ok, dinner is ready. My stepmom replies.”

“My famous soup.”

We sit down

“Thanks for the food. They say.”

“So Lily, How is your training going.”

I choke.

“I can’t tell her about my sudden power. I think to myself.”

“I can tell I’m getting stronger.”

“Well that’s good sweetie.”

“But how….how did I get this power?”

“Well sweetie, I’m going to go wash the dishes.”

“Okay.”

After I finish eating, I go back to my room.

I plop on my bed and think about everything that happened today.

“This can’t be real…can it?”

Then my sword starts to glow.

I jump back in fear.

It rises in front of me with a blue glow.

And it spoke.

Did it speak to me?

It said.

“Hello, I am the legendary sword passed down. For a reminder, the stronger you get, I get.”

Then it fell back to the ground with a…

Thud.

“What just happened?”

“The stronger I get, the stronger the sword gets?”

Thinking about that, I doze off saying.

“I’m ready for this tournament.”
