A scream shot through the house, and Swy Schol jerked his head up from his computer desk, “Mom!” Swy yelled as he ran downstairs. When he ran around the corner of the stairs, he saw Him. He didn’t have a name that Swy knew of, so he just called the stranger Him (Or He).
The man was tall, about 5 feet, and 6 inches, had dark brown hair that went down to about his eyebrows, and his eyes were green, and had a hint of red. And there He stood a knife in hand almost pricking her neck with it. “Come any closer, and she’s dead, Time Demon!”
“No! Take me instead…” Swy fell to his knees, surrendering.
“Well, that sounds like a good deal!” He said as he came up to Swy.
“Swy, No! Don’t! You need to sta-“
“Shut up! Didn’t you hear him? He wants to die!”
He came up behind Swy, and swung the knife at his neck, but suddenly froze. Swy opened his eyes, realizing he hadn’t been killed yet. He quickly scurried from underneath the knife. The killer’s evil smile was frozen in place, and so was Swy’s mom’s face of horror…
Swy shot up from his bed, covered in sweat. “Oh, it was just a dream.” He looked at his clock, “5:30 A.M. I might as well get up now.” Swy got up, and put on some shorts , and walked down stairs. When he was about to get a bowl of cereal, he noticed a light on in the living room.
“Oh, Swy, you’re up,” His mom said as he walked in, “What are you doing up so early?”
“I had a nightmare, and I couldn’t fall asleep,” Swy said, “The same one.”
“Oh, well, I’ve finally got myself to tell you this. Just, sit down please.” Swy obeyed, and sat down next to her. “Listen, Swy, do you have any idea what happened to your father?”
“No, not really,” Swy said, noticing his mom was getting suspicious, “Why?”
“Well, your dad could control time, and since we got mar-“
“So my dreams were partly true?!”
“Well, yes. Anyway, when we got married, some of his traits got passed on to you.” Mrs. Schol explained.
“What does that have to do with what happened to Dad?” Swy asked.
“I was getting to that. Your dad trapped himself in time itself to save us all. He said he would be back soon”
“What?”
