8This is a long story about Luke Bavarius when he saw the shadows in
9the world when he was younger in 7th grade. Bavarius is me. I saw
10the them, the shadows. And it has turned my brain into darkness. I
11was walking with my best friend Victor and Praeton when we found
12the terrible thing. A sickly sparkle flashed the corner of my eye
13and caused me to turn instinctively towards it. It was a silver
14lighter, but not any silver lighter you've ever seen. It has a
15skull on it with a eye made of ruby pressed into it. ``Cool'' said
16Victor as he brushed the dust and soil from the lighter that was
17buried centuries ago. It had a certain look that cut to my soul and
18made my stomach tighten on its contents.

22Victor shifted it open and his expression changed to one of evil.
23My teeth clenched as I could feel scaredness take me over. Praeton
24began to tremor in delerium as sickly vomit shot from his mouth
25like a giant waterfall. Once the vomit was spent, a terrible white
26cloud came from the eyes and from his face. The cloud had Praeton's
27face. Praeton's face had a certain shocked and unhappy expression.
28It would be soon be too late for Praeton. The soul was sucked into
29the lighter like an evil waterfall. And the lighter's fire was
30switched out for a red indescribable flame as the soul went in into
31it.
32

35``Praeton, No!'' I shouted from fear. It was too late, though. I
36could tell. He was already changed in a certain way. So I ran away
37from the evil duo.

41My fearful brain didn't know what else to do. It told my rubbery
42legs to run and they did run. The shock of the pounding of my feet
43on the ground went up through me. Up through my knees and then my
44legs. Then my chest and my soul and then into my brain with a
45terrible power. The power shot through me like an jackhammer. My
46adreniline squeezed my jaw tighter and yet tighter to fight back my
47morning breakfast. Which was prevented from being vomited out by my
48teeth. The wind felt strongly against my face. Blinding me. But I
49didn't have time to notice. I only had time to run.

53All of a sudden I was already at the door of my house when i burst
54through it. ``Grand-nd dad? Help!'' I shouted! As I shot slowly like
55a bullet from a gun through a sea of adrenaline. But there was no
56Grandad, only Praeton who was already there. The silence was
57deafening. The only sound was the horrid lighter clicking
58deafeningly. I was in an abundance of shock.

62``Where's my grandad fiend?!''

66``He's in here with us'' Praton made a grand gesture to the lighter
67in his hand.

71``N-N-No,'' I stammered as I went to the closet and got out the
72Baretta. The black gun metal was cool against the palm of my hand.
73The blackness of the gun matched my heart's darkness as I aimed at
74Praeton.
75
76``I'm gonna take you out!''
77
78``Ha Ha Ha Ha ha'' he laughed. ``Bullets can't hurt me!'' he said
79smirkingly. I knew I only had one clip with which to dispatch this
80wretched thing. To back to wherever it came from. I fired and a
81bullet went directly between his eyes but didn't stop him. Again I
82fired, and again, and again I fired a total of 14 times.
83
84
85
86``Looks like someone's out of bullets!'' He cackled devilishly. Now
87it was my turn to laugh
88
89
90
91``Ha ha ha ha! Looks like someone doesn't know anything about the
92Beretta M9!'' I triumphantly shouted. With my last bullet I fired.
93The 9mm bullet slickly exploded from the barrel and into the
94demonic lighter which was still in his hand. While the bullet
95struck, metal on metal, the souls were vomited all out of the
96it.

100``Nooooo!'' cried the thing as he turned to rust. ``It's all over
101now.'' While the Beretta fell to the ground in slow motion I was
102instantly {\em insane}.
