“M-M-Mom?†I asked, shaking and confused. I started to look around, the little boy bawling his eyes out, crying. Right next to him was his dad, blood all around him. I saw something that caught my eye, a beyblade.
Burn Striker ED145WD. Still spinning. My fists clenched.
“Mom how could you? What did he ever do to you?†I screamed, tears coming down my cheeks. My mom took one step closer to me, and I took one step back. No, this couldn't be. She looked straight into my eyes, two pearls boring into my skull.
“I’m sorry," She started, shaking her head, "This is my..â€
My face hardened, "My what?†I was torn between my loyalty to her and what had just happened. It was too unreal.
“My job" She finished, "Look...I’m sorry, dear†And with that, she walked over to the man, scooped up her beyblade, and disappeared into a beam of smoke.
I asked the little boy, “Are you okay?â€
He nodded.
“Come on I’ll call for helpâ€, I said pulling out my phone. I dialed 9-1-1. I talked to this lady, gave her the address or where we are, and waited for the ambulance truck. As they arrived on the scene, they asked two questions like “Did you see it happen? Do you know what caused him to die?â€
I answered both questions,â€No I didn’t see it happen, but his son did. Yes I do know what caused him to die. It was a beyblade.
A few hours later the little boy came out of the hospital. He walked to me.
“I asked, “Is he okay?â€
He replied,†Yes he is, but he needs to stay in the hospital for about a few days.
I asked him,†Where do you live, and what is your name?â€
He said,†I live right around the corner, and my name is John. I’m 5 years old.â€
I took John by the hand and led him home to his mom. He rang the doorbell. The door opened, his mom was looking at him and then to me.
“Hi how are you?â€, John’s mom said.
“Hi I’m doing good and I took your son back here from the hospital. It’s a long story.â€,I replied
“Well it’s getting late for me and I should get home.†, I said shocked with the time.
I then left the house and started thinking about where I should stay. I called my dad earlier about my mom. So I think they started packing to leave somewhere. I told my dad that I am not living with them anymore. I am just going to stay at Megan’s house until something good happens. I arrived at Megan’s house, and rang the doorbell. The door opened with Megan holding a bowl of cereal and milk.
“Jennifer?â€, she asked.
I replied, “Yeah it’s me.â€
“What are you doing here?â€
“It’s a long story. I’m wondering about staying at your house for the next few months, or like forever.â€
“Well come inâ€. I walked into the big living room with the fireplace on the right, a fan in the middle, and a set of beyblades sitting in the corner. I went to look for her parents, and found them sitting eating a bowl of popcorn, and there eyes on the TV.
“Hiâ€,I said.
“Oh hello dearâ€, they replied.
“Mrs. Pat and Mr. Pat I’m wondering of I can stay here for a while?â€
“Sure dear.â€
“Okay thanks!†I followed Megan to her room, and when I got there I took at my homework. I started doing it, and it turns out it was quite easy. I finished my homework 25 minutes later. Then, I decided to tell her the story about my mom, and I told her to promise not to tell anyone. She then told me a secret.
“Jennifer promise not to tell anyoneâ€, she told me, looking me into the eye.
“I promiseâ€, I said, looking straight into her eye.
“Okay well I-I-I am not normal. My parents and I came from a different planet that provides life. We went to Earth because there was one family that wanted to trade me for their daughter. They bothered our family every single day. We got to Earth in a portal. We also speak a different language. My parents and I got the hang of the language: English. We got news from the other planet one day that the family is on Earth right now. They are trying to find my family.â€
“Wowâ€, I said.
She said, “I’m not very good with beyblades. Then, I found you. You are a strong blader. So are the family. By the way, the planet is called Degunda. The language is called Culfyne. I need you to train me. Will you help?â€
“Sure I’ll help!â€, I exclaimed.
