There was a sharp screeching sound, and when Swy looked up, the man was staring at him. He then fell backwards, twitching.
Swy looked at the sword and saw a little scratch mark on it. He then knew what had happened. The bullet had deflected off of the sword and back at the man. When Swy looked back at the sword, the dent had disappeared, showing no proof of its past scrape.
“Swy, you better get to school.” Mrs. Schol said with a straight face.
“Mom, this isn’t a time to be jo-“
“GET READY FOR SCHOOL!!!” Mrs. Schol yelled, “And don’t tell ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE about this.”
Swy scurried to his room, getting fully dressed, grabbed his book bag, and ran outside, just catching the bus. He sat down next to his best friend, Caleb.
“Why so serious?” Caleb asked.
Swy leaned close to Caleb, “Promise you won’t tell anyone?”
Caleb nodded, “My lips are sealed.”
“OK. You know that nightmare I have a lot? Well, this morning, it partially came true.”
“What d’you mean?” Caleb asked cocking his head.
“My mom told me my dad is trapped in time, and that he’s coming back soon. She also told me I have the powers to freeze time. Then this guy popped out of no where with a sword my mom was looking for. He tried to slice my face off, but I froze time and took the sword. He pulled out a gun and tried to shoot me, but the bullet bounced off the sword, going back at him.”
Caleb shook his head, “I told you not to drink anymore Mountain Bird, but no. You still drank it.”
“I’m serious!” Swy said punching Caleb.
“Oh yeah? Prove it.” Caleb said rubbing his arm.
“OK, I’ll show you the sword after school.”
“Fine, but can we stop by McKing’s first?” Caleb asked jokingly.
“No!”
“Just for some french fries?” Caleb asked with puppy eyes.
“Oh, alright.”
But little did Caleb and Swy know that their conversation had grown louder. Loud enough for Robert Storgined, the school bully, to hear what they were saying. He popped his head over the seat, “What’s this I hear about a sword?”
Caleb looked back at him, “Robert, shut up, and get your fat butt back in your seat.”
“Caleb, stop! You’re going to get us in trouble!” Swy said.
“I don’t care.” Caleb said as he turned around, and they were both silent for the rest of the bus ride.
