Title: The PLAYER- Part Three
Nick walked slowly home, thinking about his day in school. It had been miserable. He couldn't stop wondering about the red light, and who Xantai was.
' Maybe it's just some sort of trick,' he mused silently. ' But if it is, someone is going through a lot of trouble just to annoy me!'
HOONNKKK!!! Nick turned his head just in time to see a car barreling toward him.
' What the...?' He yelled, looking up at the traffic light above him. ' He's got a red light!'
Nick was right in the middle of the intersection. The car coming toward him, a black Corvette, was the only one on the street.
' He has to stop,' Nick thought wildly. ' He has to!'
But the car showed no intentions of slowing down. It kept speeding toward him.
' I gotta get out of here!' Nick yelped. He tried to run; but his feet didn't move. The Corvette kept racing toward him.
That was when Nick felt something very strange; fear. Truly, he had been frightened when the car was coming toward him, and even more so when he couldn't move, but now he felt a cold and dawning fear. The car would not stop. Someone wanted him dead.
The car was coming closer, and closer, and closer...
WHOOSH!! Wind screamed up and down the street. The brown leaves began whirling around Nick's feet. At first, the patterns they took confused him greatly. Then, like a dawning light, he saw that the leaves had turned into the words. They read:
IMTALI MORTALI FINTALI!
Somehow Nick felt like he should repeat these words. Above the howling wind he yelled, ' Imtali Mortali Fintali!'
SCREEEEECCHH! Without warning, the car soared up into the air, twisting around wildly. In landed with a thud a few feet in front of him. Sparks flew into the air.
Nick felt like he could move; and he could. The first thing he did was run toward the car. The drivers window was facing him.
Nick peered into it. ' Hello? Is anyone in there?'
Suddenly, the door flew open. Nick looked in, and to his dismay, there was nothing in the car except a single piece of paper.
Plucking it off the seat, Nick saw that there was just one mark on it: a grinning skull.
Horrified, Nick dropped the paper and ran away as fast as he could.
