It was 8 a.m. and I was just about to pick up the morning paper when I saw a knife lying on the lawn, in the middle of my front yard!
I went back into the house to call the police. I felt something very strange… some kind of anxiety I couldn’t explain. I dialed 911 and explained about the strange knife infront of my house(there was no blood on it). The cops said they’d be here in an hour. When I was just about to put the receiver back I heard a strange cracking from the phone line. Someone had eavesdropped my conversation with the police! Then I heard some very law noise from the second floor. The one that has eavsedropped my conversation was in my house! Perhaps he was a murderer who didn’t succed to run away in time and decided to hide in my house, or had he come for me?! I rushed outside, but suddenly I realised the door was locked! How On Earth could someone be upstairs and succed in locking the door at the same time?! Or was he just one? I rang the neighbour and told him I couldn’t go out with him tonight, for I was very very tired, then I lied on the sofa and pretended to be asleep. Then I just waited…
After almost half an hour I heard steps coming down the stairs. Someone was coming. He suddenly whispered my name, but I didn’t react, I was just pretending to be asleep and watching him with a half-closed eye. Then a woman appeared. Seems like she had the same name as me, because the man called her again. She turned to him and asked:
“What are we going to do with her?”
“She is not a threat for us for now, the old which who protected her is now gone, we can catch her at any time! That stupid crazy woman shouldn’t use magic against me! It’s good I at least managed to take the knife”
“Did you use it?”
“Yes”
“You used magic again?! Are you crazy, what if someone had felt us?”
“I’m sure no-one felt our presence, and even if they did we will be out of town in a few minutes”
“The power of the knife is just temporarily. Perhaps it is already exhausted”
“Don’t worry, I got the salamander in me. This stupid old which couldn’t protect even an egg! Hahaha!”
“Good. Did you use the power of the salamander?”
“No, not yet, I’m too tired for such a thing, and its heir is still alive, too close, the salamander wouldn’t obey to me!”
“I don’t get it! She is sleeping, let’s finish her now!”
“No, don’t dare touch her! Are you mad?! The salamander is hot, if we attack her, this stupid thing will automaticly pour its powers into her! That’s just the opposite of what we want! We’ll leave her for now! Let’s get out of here!”
They went out of my house, but I didn’t even noticed, I stood like i couldn’tmove and I just felt some strong fire that was burning me from the inside! I suddenly felt a tremendous power! I was hot, too hot, my senses could concept things I’d never felt before. Then something suddenly just like grabbed me and made me go after the strange people! Something I couldn’t fight, something that was calling me…
