“No, no, no, no.” I repeated. I had refused to sleepover my cousin’s house without my parents, especially for a whole week. “It’s just for a few days, then Dad and I will join you the last day to celebrate the Fourth of July. Plus, you love your cousins.” My mom pressed. “No it’s not the same! And it’s not for a few days. It’s for an entire week. There’s only so much of them I can handle.” I said angrily. I was not going to do this. There was no way.

Although I had practically got on my knees and begged my parents not to let me go, but it wouldn’t do any good. “Don’t be a baby about this. You’ll be fine. You’ll have lots of fun, I promise.

I opened my mouth to answer but Anthony quickly interjected, “Yup! That’s right. She is the ruler or the land and she has magical powers that can quickly kill the dragon.” He said, motioning me to kill the dragon. Christopher fell to the floor in fake pain. Andrew frowned, “That was my job!” he yelled. I started to talk again but Ashley cut me off, “Actually that was my job!

Anthony and I stood there while Christopher still was on the floor. “You can get up now Christopher.” I said quietly in frustration. “You can’t bring me back to life. That’s against the rules!” Christopher picked his head up and said. He shot up off the floor and ran into Andrew’s room. I sighed. Anthony and I stood in the hallway in the eerie silence. The
