Matthious walked down a long dark corridor then down some steps and through a dark and musky passageway. He walked up to a big wooden door, it had a large lock on it and there were symbols all around the edge of the door frame. He took of his necklace and place the moon symbol in the centre of the large door, then he began to chant the words he read from the symbols, the symbols began to glow and from behind the door something began to awaken. He kept chanting and as nicky and the other boys stood in the great hall they heard a blood curdling howl
“What is that ?“said zac “I think it’s what there going to send to get cody“, said nicky “ jeez nicky “said zac “it sounds huge“, “I know zac and im as scared as you are“. He ran to ignacious “please” he said “don’t do this, its not his fault“. Ignacious just looked at him “what is done is done, once the hound is released is will not stop until it has found what it has been sent for.”
Mathious stopped chanting he placed a key into the lock on the door and turned it slowly, then he opened the door. The hell hound stood before him, fangs bared and slime dripping from its mouth, “so “it said “again I am summoned“. Mathious said nothing “ha! Reaper” he said “your lord only summons me when a soul needs punishment so whose soul am I to find?”. Mathhious looked up at the beast “you are sent to find a reaper, his name is cody“. “Hahaha “laughed the hound “the great ignacious has lost a reaper, this should be a good hunt.” He leapt from the chamber and ran all the way to the main hall.
“All of you into the main circle now “said ignacious “quickly and do not move.” The boys all did as they were told and a few minutes later the hell hound stomped into the room. “You have summoned me from my sleep reaper lord “it said looking at ignacious. “I have” he said “then you know where I will take this boys soul?” It asked” I do “said ignacious. “My lord ignacious please “said nicky “silence nicky “yelled ignacious. The hell hound looked at the boys then walked slowly over to them. “These are the ones you have chosen “it said “do your jobs well little reapers, for if I am summoned for one of you , I will take your soul to a place where it will never rest“. “Enough “said ignacious “you are frightening them ,you now why you are here now go!” He said “very well ,so it shall be” it said running off into the darkness
I made my way down the street, I wasn’t sure how I was going to find them, I just knew I had to” excuse me” I said to a lady “what do you want ?“she said “I don’t have any money on me“, she looked like she was frightened of me. “Is this kid bothering you mam?” a man said as he walked up to us. He was wearing some kind of uniform, “im sorry sir, im trying to find my way home” i said to him and “where would that be ? “He asked that’s it I thought um “235 sycamore street “I said. “235 “he said “are you sure?” “Yes “I said” why ?” “Cos “he said” there isn’t a 235 sycamore street ,hasn’t been for along time .they tore all the houses down to make the football stadium“. “They did?” I asked “yeah about 20 years ago” he said “do you know what happened to the people who lived in those houses?” I asked “as far as I know they were all relocated to southfield street, that’s about three blocks from here .you take a left then go straight down and it’s the next street on your right“. “Thank you “I said to him “and im sorry if I scared you miss “I said to the lady as I walked away. “What a weird teenager “she said to the man “yeah “he said “they get weirder everyday“.
As I walked down the street I wondered what my brothers and sisters would look like ,maybe they had children of there own now that would make me an uncle, it felt strange to think that time kept moving while I’d been asleep. When I got to the street all the houses looked the same “ok “I thought to myself “now what“. I walked to one of the houses and knocked on the door ,a lady answered “excuse me” I said “im looking for the robertsons house, I was told its somewhere down this street“. “Im sorry “she said “ive not lived here that long, so I don’t realy know many of the people down here, you could try mrs bakers she lives about four houses down. they say shes lived here since these houses were built“. “Ok” I said “thank you“, “your welcome “she said closing the door. I went to mrs bakers door and knocked on it an elderly lady opened the door, “yes can I help you “she said, I knew I would have to come up with a good story somehow. “Um yes” I said” im doing a school report on my family tree and im trying to find out about a my great uncles and aunts, I know they were moved here from sycamore street but that’s all I know“. “What are there names?” she said “the robertsons” I said to her. “Oh “she said “I remember them nice couple the mum and dad, they died about 10 years ago, poor souls were killed in a car crash“, “they were” I said “yes “she said “the children all moved away ,all accept um what his name, you’ll have to excuse me my memories not as good as it used to be, um david that’s it ,that’s the one ,he lives just over the road there“. I looked at the house she was pointing to. “Thank you “I said turning back to the old woman. “Your welcome” she said I walked over to the house but kept my distance. As I stood there I thought about mum and dad, I hoped they weren’t in too much pain when the reaper came for them. I wiped my face. David my big brother, he’d always been the quiet one never wanting to go out and play away just happy to sit and read. My brother was alive and I was going to get to see him
