The 's Pov - Original Writing

“Ender looked at the others coldly. “You might be having some idea of ganging up on me …. But just remember what I do to people who try to hurt me.”

“Who’s they?” he wanted to know. “Who, specifically, do you think is trying to murder you?”

“Right is right. I will not murder but I am walking out with the orbs. You are defeated.”

Once we got there, we looked for the strange man, who we named: mysteryman. We didn't find him on the main floor, so we went to look in the basement. Then we remembered that the ropes snapped, so we looked for handles, which there were. We climbed down the handles to the basement, and looked for mysteryman. We found him sitting in a corner, holding a clipboard and wearing glasses. We slowly approached him, not trying to startle him, and hoping we could talk to him.

“Th-They should stand somewhere else if they don't want to get killed.” Marco responded. “But the minotaurs won't let us leave!”

I turned my head and saw him standing at the door behind me. He was looking right at my drawing.

There it was, like a sumo wrestler with red skin and eyes. It was a monster of death, but the worst was that it was eating the guards one by one. I began to back away slowly, but its red eyes captured mine. I could hear its ragged breathing from my end of the bridge. It dropped the guard it was holding onto and charged at me.

I walked over the hill with a profound tension. The sight of the city after these days brings rage and hatred in my veins. They said we had nothing to worry about, nothing to fear. I stepped back and picked up my bags. My group was scared nonetheless, so we aimed for a safe haven inside the backwoods. A quiet, peaceful place where we could settle down and not be reminded of the horror movie being displayed for the whole county to see. I knew it was only a matter of time before we had to leave the area completely, but we didn’t want to see our lives crumble away. I noticed while walking, that far back some of the trees started to fade early. It was almost Fall, yet they seemed to be dying at the roots. There wasn’t a history of faults in the agriculture in this area so it had to be something new. They looked red and the dirt around it was soggy, like they were bleeding. The branches felt stiff and brittle. The infection must have been transferred from the trees, through the soil, and into river which was the town’s main water supply.
