“NO, no just an um… a thought.”
Autumn felt like her cheeks were on fire. And a cold sweet had broken out over
her entire body. She did not like being put in these situations, even with her
best friend Tori.
That wasn’t exactly true either. There
was a guy on the boys’ basketball team named Alexander Hironaka. He was tall, 4
inches taller than Autumn at least, and he was very attractive. His father was Japanese
and owned a business in town. Alex’s mother was Italian and had a nice little Italian
restaurant in North Vancouver. It seemed he had inherited only the best qualities
from his parents. He had angular features slightly softened by his Asian heritage
with slanted brown eyes that were almost olive. Yes, Autumn groaned inwardly,
she had looked at him for a long time.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to
tell Tori about him. It was just it didn’t feel right to talk about it right
now. It was her secret crush and she was afraid as soon as she told someone
that the magic of it all would just go away. Also those who found out she liked
them in the past tended to avoid her. She really liked and trusted Tori. She
also knew Tori, and trusted her to go up and tell Alex to ask her out.
Autumn was about to say something
else to Tori when she saw something that completely made her forget about
everything else. A warrior stood in back of Tori. He was huge, no he wasn’t he
only looked huge. He was a little shorter then Autumn but was wearing armor and
leather and fur that seemed to make him bigger. Scale mail peaked out from
under a large cloak. He carried a wooden shield, a serpent on the front of it. An
intricate axe was in his other hand. His face was covered by a helmet a long
yellow beard poked out from under it. Some of the beard was braded. If his
helmet had horns on it he would’ve looked like a Viking, and her was yelling at
her.
He was a ghost, Autumn knew that
much, but she couldn’t understand what he was yelling at her. He threw down his
shield and axe and used his hands to try to help his cause. He kept making so
many strange motions that Autumn couldn’t make anything out of it. If there was
one thing that Autumn could tell it was that warrior was desperate. He picked
up his axe and slammed it into his shield. It looked as if the axe blade neatly
cut of the serpents head. He turned to he still franticly yelling. Autumn went
around Tori so she could touch him and see if she could understand what he was
saying. She reached out a hand but before it touched anything the warrior disappeared
and Autumn was left grasping at air.
“Autumn… are you okay?” Autumn
looked back at Tori. She could see worry in her eyes.
