That night, I sat on my bed for hours. My
earphone lied beside me; I didn’t even have the interest in listening music. A
bright and golden full moon and rays of silver light slipped from the sky on to
the road. I lived in the city centre, so outside the window I could still see
cars speeding on the road. We could never win the game------its four Vs two.
What are we going to do? I don’t want to play this murdering game anymore. I
didn’t know why I attended this stupid game only for a rubbish special power.
It couldn’t help me win, what’s the point of having this anyway. No, Laura, you can’t give up in yourself.
A voice somewhere encouraged me. Think
about Miller. Win the game for him. Yeah, don’t let the innocent people
die. I suddenly saw hope, there will always be a way. I quickly went up to my
desk. I opened my diary and scribbled the situations which work now; it’s my way
of expressing pressure,
Situation1: find a bubble and change one’s
identity. But there was only one magic bubble left------one was used by Miller
and the other one wasted by Amy. And I was sure Amy’s side was looking for this
bubble too. They had twice as many people as we do, so we had to hurry. And who
to change with if I got the magic bubble? I couldn’t make someone’s identity
into another one; I could only exchange it with someone else. If I wanted them
to be on our side, then Helena will be a hider. No way, I denied myself. That
definitely won’t work. I will destroy the bubble if I get it, if I gave it to
them, Helena and I will be separated. I doubt they will drag me to their
side------my special power is more attractive. So destroying the bubble is the
best way to solve the problems, it’s no use to us anyway.
Situation2: Find name cards, no matter the
ones on our side or theirs. If I got mine or Helena’s, I could hide it
somewhere they will never find, perhaps in my house------Amy won’t ever come to
my home. If I got their name tags, tear it up as quickly as I can. Don’t
hesitate, I told myself, no matter in which situation.
Situation3: No, there were no further more
situations.
I put down the diary, and lied down on the
bed again. I thought about my future. Our practicable plans were very few, and
none of them had a possibility more than 50% to success. If I lose, I mean if I
really lose, I would die. I‘d never given much thought to how I would lose this
game, or more directly, how I would die------at least not in a stupid game like
this. For the first time, I began to think about: if the game ends, were would
we go? Heavens, hell? No, that’s too dramatic. I dreaded to see the special man
who always appeared when someone died. I wanted to slap him in the face, how
stupid he was to invent this game and made us to attend it.
“Laura,” my mom knocked on the door, “Have
you finished your English essay jet?”
Boom, my head crack up. I had totally
forgotten I had an English essay unfinished. “Doing, mom.” I called back. The
teacher had given out this task a week ago, and I was supposed to do it last
weekend. But I was so distracted by this murdering game; I didn’t have it on my
mind. So I have to finish a 1000 words essay in one day? And there were only an
hour and a half left till my sleeping hour. This essay was supposed to focus on
a book I had recently read, but I hadn’t had time read any recently. What
should I write about? I moaned. Twenty minutes past and I didn’t even type a
word on the computer（we
usually send our English essays to our teacher by email ）After wasting
another ten minutes, I finally decided writing the book series “Twilight”.
Although I had only read about 150 pages, I had surf the brief instruction of
“Twilight” online before. I started typing words difficultly:
Twilight is a novel
written by Stephanie Meyer. It’s about a girl Bella’s love story. Bella’s full
name is Isabella Swan. At the start of high school, she moved to live with his
father (her parents were discovered). In her new high school, Bella met a boy
called Edward. She thought him very special-------he is afraid to go to the
biology class if it has something to do with blood; he can’t bare standing in
the sun; his eyes sometimes turned from black to gold; he doesn’t eat or drink
human food; ones or twice a week he disappears…… Until one day, she found out
his true identity was a vampire. She also found that she had fallen in love
with him. But at Bella’s seventeenth birthday, she tripped over and her arm was
bleeding; that made part of Edward want to drink Bella’s blood. So he left the
town because he was afraid that he may hurt Bella. Then, Bella made friends
with a werewolf named Jacob. Jacob also loved Bella. One day, a vampire named
James wanted to kill Bella. When Edward heard this, he came back, and worked
together with his biggest enemy------the werewolf Jacob and defeated James.
Edward and Bella were finally together and they had a baby. But since Bella was
a human being, she can’t have a vampire baby. So Edward gave a venom blood in
his vampire body to Bella. And finally, they became happily ever after.
I counted how many words I had
written------no more than 500 words. So I added a sentence in the bottom: because I didn’t finished reading the book
jet, I don’t have any feeling about it. I will hand it in next week, I promise.
Suddenly, my phone rang. I picked it up,
and answered it:
“Hello.” I said.
“It’s me, Athena.” Her voiced sounded
tired.
“What’s up?” I asked curiously, it’s
already past ten.
“I had your name card.” She said coolly.
“So……” My heart bumped. “What are you going
to do? Rip it?”
“No. Give it back to you.” She said calmly.
“Are you mad?” I asked unbelievably, “we
are not on the same side.”
“Who told you so? We were on the same
side.”’
“No way!” I shouted.
“That day, at 25th window in the
cafeteria, you over listened the talk between Amy and I, right?”
I was stunned, “Yes……but how did you know?”
“I just knew it.” She smirked, “and also,
you told Helena to use special power on Amy. Did you?”
I was too amazed to speak. How could a
stranger know so much about I?
“Do you know what my special power is?” She
suddenly asked.
“No”, I shook my head. Yeah, I had never
thought about that before.
“My special power was to see what kind of
special power a people cast in the past 24 hours. Isn’t it interesting?”
“Yes……”I murmured, “so when are you going
to give back my name card?”
“Tomorrow”, she promised.
“Thanks”, I said, and hang up. We still had
possibility to win------now it’s 3 Vs3. Furthermore, we had better special
power than theirs. I sent my essay to my teacher, closed the computer, and
jumped on to the bed. At least, I will be safe.
