• Mitchelle, Michael, and me clung tightly to the metal bridge. The world of Thorre is about to be ruled by a dark wizard... Thorre is sending a signal to the people above to not trust Sinquel, the soon-to-be king. But they wouldn't listen...

    it was another earthquake. We were halfway to the imperial City. I went to the other side of the bridge, only to feel that a blue ghostly-like mist was spying on us. i turned around and Mitch grabbed my shirt. Michael, on the other hand, was gnashing his teeth. He spoke only a few words a few times, but they were very meaningful.

    "Hold on, Alex! Hold on!" Mitch shouted to me.

    After a few minutes, the earthquake stopped. Michael got to his feet and said, "we have to go... now... or else we'll be stuck on another earthquake."

    Mitch went in front of him and said, "Then lead the way. you said you know it. Your dad brought you here every year..."

    By now Michael had tears in his eyes, i could tell. But his gold hair covered his eyes.
    "I... i lied,Mitch..."
    Mitch let out an exasperated sigh. i was surprised because she knew he had lied to us.

    "We'll just have to find that map. I'll go ahead..."
    mitch went fast among the bushes. Only me and Michael stood on the bridge. i walked to him, hugged him, and said, "Come on... Don't cry... its not your fault... Please? Do it for little ol' Alex..."

    Suddenly, he hugged me back... hugged me tight... so tight i could hardly breathe. He kissed my hair, and 'cause of the lack of oxygen, i collapsed in his arms.

    i heard a distant cry from above.
    "Alex! Alex, wake up! Alex!"


    it was Michael...

    he was crying...
    "Alex... please... wake up... I love you, alex..."

    Even fainted, i still was surprised...

    Michael...
    he loves me...
    And i love him back...
