Here's the second chapter.
Chapter 2
I wanted to die. I seriously wanted to lie down and die. Alex, The Annihilator, everything. It made me want to be dead that instant. Then the idea hit me like a punch in the head. I could go after him. I could go and kill him. I did have a couple of thousand dollars from working in my dad’s restaurant. I could get some supplies and be off. That’s what I decided to do. I would kill Aelonnia, The Annihilator.
When I managed to talk my way out of the police station, I immediately went to the bank to get a few hundred dollar bills. I went to a gun store I knew didn’t take I.D. I got a .40 Magnum. I also bought a knife. I was all set. One thing was missing: a way of transportation. I had my permit, but I didn’t have a license. Fortunately, I knew someone who did.
*****************
“No” said the voice of my second best friend, Armando. We were in his house, just sitting and talking. Hearing that from him was like a shot from my own Magnum.
“But why?” I asked.
“Because it’s wrong.” He bluntly stated. I gave him a blank look.
“Oh come on, Ether. Killing isn’t just wrong, it’s illegal. Sure it’s revenge, but at what cost? You could go to jail, probably for the rest of your life.” He said, a tinge of irritation in his voice. Then I played my trump card.
“Armando, where was your sister when the bomb went off?” I said slowly. That did it. Armando’s face went grey, and then white.
“The school” he whispered so quietly I almost didn’t catch it.
“Exactly. Your sister was killed in that blast.” I said triumphantly.
“No she wasn’t, and I can prove it!” He shouted. His sister walked in. I could not believe my eyes. I was sure she had died. Then I figured out a test.
“Julia (that was her name), what is your innermost desire?”
“Um, uh” she mumbled.
“Exactly. You are not Julia, and if I am right, then get out of that suit, Aelonnia.” I said. Immediately she peeled off an ingenious body suit to reveal a dark skinned man.
“I hoped you would notice, little Ether. I would have thought that the death of your friend would have a profound effect on you.” said the all-so chilling voice of Aelonnia, The Annihilator. He showed us a thing that looked like a watch. It showed some numbers that looked like a countdown. It WAS a countdown. It counted down 3….2….1……. BOOM! Everything blew up in a cloud of blue flame, yet again it was as silent as the grave. The Annihilator was somehow not hurt. It quickly came to me I could pass right through him. It was a hologram.
“Figures. He was, after all, the predecessor to the scientist Aelonnia” I thought. My thoughts were interrupted when Armando tugged on me. We saw an enormous fireball just feet away from us. Its heat was so powerful; again I wanted to die for the second time that day. Me and Armando heaved a couch off his floor and threw it out of the window (I heard a crash at the bottom. Probably an expensive car.). We jumped out of the window onto the couch (we three stories up. It cushioned our fall, though I bumped my head at the bottom.
I looked over and saw Armando panting and coughing.
“See? Julia was killed in that bomb. I really need you, Armando” I said heavily.
“It’s just…. I…… couldn’t believe…..” He barely managed to say.
“So what’s your answer?” I replied.
He took a deep breath. “I’ll go.

Chapter 1
When Things Went Wrong
It’s amazing what a single mistake can do. First of all, my name is Ether Cain. I’m fifteen years old, and very handsome, I must say. I go to Cactus Cliff Elementary, in Arizona. As I said, a single mistake can be REALLY bad, so here goes the story. It all started a few months ago. I was in school and sitting with my friend, Alex Gauger. He was talking about when we turn sixteen and start dating, and get our drivers licenses. Then all of a sudden a voice goes over the intercom “Everyone exit the school quickly in a calm orderly fashion.” Of course, everyone panicked. When we made it out, Alex went back inside to find out what happened. I knew this wasn’t a good idea. I waited for what seemed to be an eternity. All of the sudden, the school burst into brilliant flames, scorching my skin, but instead of a roaring fire, it was as silent as the grave. “NO!” I shouted. I heard maniacal laughter, echoing into the distance. Then my whole world went black.
**************************************************************When I woke up, I felt disoriented. I looked around. I was in a gray room with ugly paintings in it. A door opened, and a big muscular man entered the room, along with a skinny, clever looking man. “I’m afraid you’re friend is dead.” The thin man said, with no emotion at all. I just looked down. “Thankfully, he died quickly, with no suffering” he said, again with no emotion. “Well, now isn’t the time for mourning. We need to tell you how he died. The person responsible is one of the most feared killers in the world. His name is Aelonnia, given to him in the hopes that he would do something great. His namesake, Aelonnia Acrin, is said to be the most famous woman in the world, because she invented the silent bomb. It was a great discovery. Her death was untimely, but even more unfortunate is what her name inspired her “successor” to do with her invention. Though his name is Aelonnia, he goes by ‘The Annihilator,’” He explained. Just the name sent shivers up my spine. “We know that he used his namesake’s invention to kill your friend. He apparently stole the bomb from the military base commonly called Area 51. He transported it on Air Force One, disguised as a security guard. From there he drove to your school. It was designed to detonate only the principal’s office, but something went wrong. There were some extra explosives mixed in, and they went haywire. Unfortunately they weren’t enough to make a sound, so the police weren’t notified until later. We came in and tried to capture The Annihilator, and that’s when we encountered your friend, or what was left of him. We found a badly burned head, and a still pumping heart, but that stopped seconds later. We took them back to the station, then put them in a casket and buried them. I wished you were there. When we went back, the principal was still alive, but badly hurt. He told me to tell you it was not your fault your friend died.” I didn’t answer. “I’ll leave you in peace,” He finally said. He patted me on the shoulder, and left. I was thinking about the first time I met Alex. It was in 3rd grade and we were playing kickball. I was on one team, and he was on another. I was on third base, heading for home. I tagged base just as Alex tagged me. “You’re out!” he said triumphantly. We argued whether I was out or not. Then the bell rang, and we had to go to class. We agreed to be friends after school. Since then, we were always beside each other. We wore similar costumes on Halloween, and we always were on the same team at baseball. I couldn’t imagine life without him. I remember my first birthday gift from him. I was 10, and he gave me a pocket-sized gameboy. We played for hours with it, until it finally broke last year. I still remember me putting it in my pocket when I got it. I reached into my pocket and felt a recording tape. I noticed a tape recorder that certainly wasn’t there before. I put the tape in and heard the chilling voice of the Annihilator. He said, “The principal found out about me, so I had to annihilate him. I detonated a silent bomb inside his office. I also had to kill the 15 year-old. He said he would stop me. He was hopelessly wrong. Oh, and to Ether Cain, this was the last word your friend said. ‘Goodbye’.”

From the Creator of: Thou Shalt Not Put Thy State Quarter in a Vending Machine Brings you A New Post: The Phenomenon
Here's a dream I had that was so weird it could've been an Imax movie. Here it is.
It starts off where my family goes to a big mansion for something and I notice that my mom, my dad, two uncles, and an aunt all have these weird patches on their chests. I keep on asking what they are and finally my mom takes me to a bathroom and peels back the patch and there's an eye underneath. She tells me that they gathered in the house because strange things had been happened and they think they know why. It's because of a rare phenomenon called vortexes. So me and Anonymous Genius go down into the basement and find this huge Drag racer (so cool). And for some reason my grandma came down also. This is where it gets creepy. I go into the bathroom and my grandma comes with me. All of the sudden these magnetic strips appear and start clinging to my arms. I ran out of the room and they disappeared. Then my grandma came out and said a shocking secret- she caused the vortexes. She didn't know how, she just did.

*******************************************************
Now for some reason my dream skipped 3000 years into the future. I was, for some reason was still 11. I was riding a cool bicycle that could go over 100 miles per hour. I was also riding with a group of adults. All of the sudden we saw a car called the L.I.P. The adults told me that no one ever beat the L.I.P on a bicycle. I tried to beat it and almost did, but all of the sudden I jumped off my bike. I ran all the way down the hill and saw Zach, who, for some reason, was still 16. He asked why I didn't just beat. I said the vortexes were back. Now we went back to a house that had a lake in the back to go fishing in. I decided to sleep by the lake with my fishing pole so I could fish in the morning. When I went outside with a pillow and blanket I saw there were'nt fish but killer whales. I jumped over it with these special jump pads and halfway over the killer whales jumped up and ate my pillow and blanket. They didn't touch me, just the pillow and blanket. I started walking around the lake and found Jonah behind a tree. Strangely, he was 3011 years old, and still alive. He said the vortexes caused him to be the age he was supposed to be in that year.
Sorry, that's where my dream ended. You'll have to enjoy that much. :(

The Time I Went on a Trip With My Dad.
One fine day, me and my dad went on a trip to UCIrvine (a college) in California. Here's the summary of the trip. I also added some pictures. Enjoy!
Here's me in the hotel. It was quite comfy.
Here's me in the hotel. It was quite comfy.Now there was a reason for this trip. My dad used to be a professor at that school and he held a sandcastle event every year to help the students understand the world of business. I went with him this time to help. The night before we left me and my brothers cut ribbons to show what job the students at the event had.
Here's me holding my dad's bullhorn.
Here's me holding my dad's bullhorn.
Here's my dad "Bunny Earying" me while I build MY castle.Some of the teams built their castles to close to the water, and they asked me to build a wall to protect them. They promised me 2.50 for my work, but they stiffed me! Werg (that's dwarvish for ugh)!
Then my favorite part arrived....... SQUISHING THE CASTLES!!!!!!
These are all my times of squishing castles glory. It was really fun!
Before we left for the sandcastle thingy me and my dad took some funny pictures. Again, Enjoy!
Here's a weird picture of my dad looking in the mirror.
Here's me on the bed.
I hope you enjoyed this tale. I enjoyed the trip!

Commandment XII- Thou Shalt Not Put Thy Arizona State Quarter in a Vending Machine
One day when we were went to Costco to have dinner Curtis found a vending machine with a quarter in it. He put it in and pressed the coin return, and by chance the same type of quarter came out. So Curtis put in his Arizona State Quarter. And guess what came out? Not an Arizona State Quarter. So for the next 20 minutes we were putting quarters in the vending machine and pressing the coin return to get it. Finally, I checked one of the quarters and it was an Arizona State Quarter. It got a small yellow hue (from someplace I don't want to know) from the journey. Remember, don't do that.
