Free The Truth Lies Beneath Your Eyes by Nzingha Keyes

older boys called out to me.
    “ But what if I get caught? Or what if they
have some kind of alarm system here? I asked. Now they were all
yelling rude things at me and I didn’t feel like speaking in
English anymore, but I did.
    “ Fine, fine,” I said while I pulled myself
up over the gate feeling my baggy black jeans start to get caught I
twist and jumps over.
    “ See, little man? That wasn’t so hard.”
Nathan, the oldest boy yelled from the other side of the
gate.
    “ So why didn’t you climb your ass over
here and open it yourself? I asked as I pushed up the latch and
opened the gate for the others. Nathan shoved him to the
floor,
    “ watch who you’re talking to, kid,” he
said. I knew better than to hang out with all 19 year olds. I knew
Christophe said not to get involved with them, but so what?
Christophe didn’t know everything, besides these guys were my
friends anyway.
    “ Nate, what are we doing here?” I asked.
They had just broken into some old looking insane asylum and not
that I was scared of ghosts or anything but this seemed really
sketchy.
    “ Look here,” Nathan said as he pulled out
a zipper lighter.
    “ You dragged me here so I could watch you
get high?” I said in disbelief.
    “ Not watch, this is where we take the
first timers,” Nate said while the others nodded.
    “ No, see I don’t like being forced into
confusion,” I said.
    “ Just for once, man, quit being so serious
and understand us”. I stared at them for a while,
    “ okay, I’ll do it.”
    Fifteen minutes later and I can’t tell up
from down but I’m laughing, we were all laughing. “Oh man, a
ghost!!!” J.D yelled and we all laughed while he ran. Everything
had color and was so vivid and- a person appeared out of nowhere so
I reached forward and touch him, than he vanished. It was someone I
had never seen before. I was still laughing and then another one
showed up behind Nate and he screamed cause it touched him and
vanished. Then some more of the appeared in front of all of us and
we ran out the building screaming our heads off,
    “ AHHHH! There’s ghost’s out to take our
weed!!!! Run!!!” we screamed. Once were in the doorway Mike looked
at me, J.D, Nate, Lucas and Ben and said,
    “ What do we do?!” And after that Nate had
us climb up to where the vines started on the top of the
roof.
    “ Little man, you gotta throw the lighter
on the plants and burn up the ghosts.
    “ But why me?” I said with a smirk.
    “ Cause man, you’re the only one who can
make the jump from the roof to the floor,” and then I just nodded
at all the guys and said I would it. The others poured whatever
gasoline was in their lighters into the roof and the four of them
climbed down. I set off the zipper lighter and jumped off the roof
a second before the whole roof exploded.
    “ Way to go little man!!!” They were
yelling in my ears.
    “ Ugh,” I groaned. I was starting to come
down off of the high and then J.D yelled.
    “ Where’s Ben!!!!” I thought…only four of
them got off the roof…been must’ve fell into the fire when the roof
blew up. I ran inside even though I had probably broken something
jumping down and heard Ben screaming,
    “ HELP ME!!!!” So I ran into the fire
trying to get him and then…darkness.
    I was jolted awake by the dream,
    “Oh shit! That’s how I died!? That’s what I
did?! That’s why I’m here?!” Alias said incredibly fast. “He
awakens,” Christophe said.
    “I did that? Wait but why am I here? I died
saving someone!!!!” This makes no sense.

    Kristen reappeared. “You know those people
you thought were after your weed? Yeah they were five demons that
you killed on purpose,” She said. “So you killed a human, your
other friends died in a car crash and you killed five Calibers, you
would not be here if you hadn’t opened the latch to get inside the
insane asylum, get it? None of that would have ever happened had
you had just said no and listened to your brother and
