The final chapter...

Dec 20, 2006 22:51

Our young heroine was last left in a less-than-hopeful state. She is alone, frightened, and about the face an unknown evil without any knowledge of how to defeat it. As she drifted off into sleep, totally unaware that she was entering into the final battle, she thought about everything that had changed over the last two weeks. She had started out with such an average existence; nothing special or extraordinary about it. And now...well, now everything had changed. She could not even begin to describe how much everything had changed.

Now, here she was standing in a world that she could never have imagined had existed. It was like she was in the middle of the air; there was no solid ground that she could see and there was a bleak mist covering everything. She had no idea where she was and she couldn't see very far ahead of her. Everything seemed to echo itself and she felt that if she took one step forward, she would lose herself forever and never find her way out. Then she saw it; the evil that she was supposed to conquer. At first, it seemed like just a blob of darkness with no defined edges. As it moved closer, it began to transform itself into a more recognizable being. The girl could not get her legs to move; she was frozen with fear as she watched the evil change into a hooded figure. She could not see its face; only piercing red eyes boring holes into her.

All of a sudden, it attacked her without even saying a word or giving any warning. It was ready to defeat her whether or not she was ready to defend herself. She felt her mind feeling with images and hundreds of emotions swept over he like a wave. She had felt this once before, when she had been attacked by the men in white. She heard the voices of all the people in her life that had ever hurt her..."I don't care about you" "No one likes you" "You're stupid" "You can't do anything right" "Why are you even here"...and she felt horrible feelings; sadness, anger, rejection, jealousy. It was all so much and she felt as if her very heart with explode because she couldn't handle it. Then, as quickly as it began, it ended. She collapsed, wondering if she was dead and, if not, why she was still alive. Why did it end? Why didn't he just finish her off? "he must pity me" she thought "he knows how weak I am."

As she laid on the floor, images began floating in her head. These images were not coming from the evil being, but from deep within herself. Fist were images of her family; three sisters who loved and supported her, along with two parents who never gave up on her. Then came images of her friends; the boy who wouldn't give up on her, the girl who always knew exactly how to make her feel better, the boy who spent hours listening to her when he probably had better things to do, the girl who always fought for what she believed in, all the friends who had always been there to negate all those horrible thoughts and feelings that the being was trying to destroy her with. All of a sudden, the fear that she had felt was replaced by something else...hope. She realized that the being hadn't stopped attacking her...the thoughts were still there, but her own heart was overcoming them . She finally knew why she had to succeed...there were people who loved her and she loved them just as much. She knew how it felt to be overcome by horrible emotions and thoughts and there was no way she would leave them to such a horrible fate.

With little strength left, she raised herself to her feet. As the being continued to attack her mind with negativity, she filled her mind with the images of her friends and family all the while filling her heart with the love that they brought to her. To her surprise, the being started backing off and its attack seemed to be fading. As his form faded and he changed back into a void of darkness, she knew that she was so close to achieving her goal. With her final burst of strength, she visualized a day in the not too distant past when she had a majority of her friends all gathered in one place. The feeling of happiness that accompanied this visualization was enough to push the being outside her range of vision. It also took the last of her strength and she faded into darkness.

When she awoke the next morning, the girl knew that it was all over. She had won and had discovered that her special power (as cheesy as it may sound) was the love that she had found in her family and friends. Now that the battle was over, everything was back to normal. She went back to her life, admired that boy from afar, but always had a little more appreciation for the time she had with her friends and her family; she now realized just how important they were to her.

(So, that's the end of the story...that's what my life would be like if it was a movie. Pretty cool, huh? Maybe not the best of stories but I had fun writing it. I hope you all enjoyed it)
