It was seven minutes after midnight. I was in my room when, suddenly, I heard a noise in the boiler room.

Scared, I went down the stairs. I approached the door and I heard a voice saying: “come with me, I feel very alone.”

On another occasion, I would rather not do it, but something told me to open that door…Then, I entered slowly. I came into the room, and I saw something very strange: a white light that disappeared leaving a trail of bright dust. And then, guess what was happening: there was a spirit in the House.

I ran, with my heart pounding, I went to my brother’s room and I knocked on the door. As I didn’t have any response, I entered and I saw my brother in bed. I yelled, but he did not move, I took his pulse, his heart was beating, but he was cold… As I left his room crying; I saw the same dust that I saw in the boiler room.

I was freaked out. I ran to my parent’s room, I went on screaming into the room and I found the same scene from my brother’s room: they were cold, but with pulse.

And so filled with anger, I shouted: WHY?!

At that same moment, I considered the theory of the spirit, because a hoarse whispery voice replied:

-Because you’re the man who will return me my life, the life that removed my lack of health and power.

When he finished his sentence, enraged, the spirit lifted a whirlwind of fire around me.

– Who are you? or, better said, what are you?

-There was a time when I was your great-grandfather’s best friend. Yes, he was the best Modern Wizard, until I killed him.

Crying, I asked the soul:

– Why did you do it, monster? Why?

– Why did I do it, is that what you want to know?

When he said that, I felt a great pressure in the neck.

-I guess I killed him because he was a hindrance to my power.

– Okay, what do you want?

– I want you to return me to life and, in exchange, I’ll return your family’s life.

– HOW COULD I DO THAT?!!!I don’t know how to return your life!

– Don’t lie to me! You have the power, guess how to use it and you’ll get what you want.

When he said that, I escaped from the mental cage that the spirit had locked me in, and I threw him a fire tongue that burnt his little vital essence remaining. I didn’t know I had those skills. Everything was so fast. Suddenly I was alone, thinking about what had happened that night.

Last thing I felt was my hands on fire, and then I woke up in my bed. Strange, I got up and

I went looking for my family. I found them preparing breakfast and making me hurry to go to school…
