2-21-11: It all started with a band trip to Disney; well actually it was the day before the trip. I woke up and looked at my alarm clock. It was 3:00 p.m. and I started to panic. It was the day before the trip and we had practice and it started at 3! I jolted up and checked my cell phone. It was the same day we had practice, but I had read the alarm clock wrong, it was only 3 in the morning. I sighed and went back to bed, when I woke up it was 2:00 p.m. and I rushed to get to the school. I got there and walked into the band room. I talked to someone for a moment and got my trumpet out, after that I walked to the field and had marching practice for an hour (thank God I don’t remember that!) The next thing I remember was getting on the bus to go to Disney and the scene cut to when we stopped, but it wasn’t Disney. We were at a harbor and Covenant (Aliens from Halo) was attacking us. I got out and grabbed a gun from nearby and started shooting. Almost everyone panicked and tried running away, but the Covenant got to them first. The ones that didn’t panic grabbed a gun with me and returned the fire. We had to retreat a little a couple people went into an old rusted building and we defended it from the attackers. I suddenly ran out of ammo and yelled for someone to help me find a gun. They ignored me and I searched through the bodies to find a weapon. I was suddenly attacked, a being choked. I pulled out the knife and stabbed the creature, then stood up and suddenly I was looking through the view of one of the Covenant. I had a gun and I was firing at a bunch of people near some rusted building. Then the scene cut back to me and I was on a ship headed back to Earth. (Apparently I was on some other planet when the Covenant attacked.) The ship landed and I got out and headed into the cafeteria of my school and it was lunch time, so I got a lunch and sat down and talked to D and E. We chatted about the battle and how well we were shooting. After we all got done chatting I got up to throw my lunch away and then I went outside for band practice. It was snowing out, but I didn’t feel the cold. I got my trumpet out and started to play it. Satisfied with how it sounded I walked to where the rest of the band was and watched as a few people started marching. I put my trumpet down and walked to a small cabin nearby and went inside. A fire was going and I went over and sat down in a chair at a table. I just sat there for a moment then heard some noise outside. I walked back up the hill, the school was no longer there, but a mountain and road were in its place. I saw a black car coming and it stopped where I was. D asked me if I was coming with him, I told him no and he threw me a gun and told me good luck and to be careful and drove off. I told the gun and loaded a magazine into it and looked up at the moon. It was orange and giving an eerie glow to the area around me. I started running down the road and I head a narration.
“And every yellow moon the warriors of the dead rise to do battle, trapped in time, not knowing how to end the loop.”
I thought to myself, so, was I one of the dead warriors? If not, what if I died on this night, would I become one of them? I ran back to the cabin and looked through the door for a moment and it felt like something was watching me. I turned around and a woman with black hair and a white dress was staring at me. I panicked and tried to shoot, but the magazine wasn’t pushed in all the way and I started running. I ran past her, she was a vampire, so that’s what the mysterious narration meant. I saw more of them, at least ten. I ran faster and finished loading the clip. Two of them were chasing me and I ran across a parking lot and as I ran I turned my upper body to face them and aimed carefully. I shot and it tore into one of them and I focused on running again. I came up to a city block and the remaining vampire that was chasing me got even closer. I suddenly realized something, if I got to a friend that owned a club nearby in a mall could kill the vampire. I turned around and tried running past the vampire, but it didn’t work. I was caught and suddenly felt very tired and dizzy. I was dying and I welcomed it. I couldn’t think at all, but a moment before death I remembered that friend at the club. I would be okay if I got to him.
“I know I’m going to die, but at least let me enjoy a moment at a club. Go gambling or something. I want to enjoy the last few moments of my waking life, please.”
I suddenly stopped feeling tired and I found that I could see again. No way, it actually worked! I ran towards the mall and the vampire followed after me. I got inside and kept running until I came up to a casino.
“I could’ve sworn his club was here.” I said to myself.
Someone at the door heard me and asked if I was Lilith. I said yes and the man said that the owner was expecting me. I walked inside with the vampire and looked around and walked towards where the owner was, but a man that looked like the Joker stopped me and was walking about dying. He said, “If you are dying fight to live, because if you just give up your life was meaningless.”
Then he walked away and I kept walking to the door and I woke up.
