True Confessions
We were walking to the town when Cameron whined: “Mitchell, I’m tired! Can we stop?!?” My first mistake was saying: “Sure, okay. I need one too.” So we stopped into an abandoned wheat field.
My second mistake was letting Cameron off on her own. “I’m going to look for some flowers, Mitchell!” she called out. “Flowers, yeah, okay.” I said drowsily. Then she skipped off. My third and final mistake was falling asleep. I was so tired, that my eyes sank closed.
I know what you’re thinking! Why is he telling us his mistakes? Well, here’s why: I was sleeping peacefully when I heard screaming. I quickly awoke in shock. I was wondering what that when I remembered…. “Cameron!” I thought. “Oh crap!” Then I leapt up to my feet and started running on her tracks. I ran and ran…….only to find that Cameron wasn’t in sight. All I found was her golden bracelet and a message written out in the mud for me.
This is what the message said:
If you want your girlfriend back alive, go to the underworld to save her. On the way into the underworld, confess your love to her.
This boiled my blood! I didn’t love her and Heri took my best friend! So outraged, I stormed to nearest building for directions to the underworld.
I waited until the sun was calling it quits. I was about to do the same when I heard a screeching sound above me. I looked up and the sky was black. They were crows! “Here goes nothing!” I thought. So I drew in a mouthful of air and yelled: “TAKE ME TO THE UNDERWORLD!” I probably had yelled that about thirty times. And then, everything went black…..
Then it hit me! I’m in love with Cameron! And there was only one thing to do! I shut my eyes, drew in a mouthful of air, and yelled: “I LOVE YOU, CAMERON!”
With an instant, the ground beneath my feet began to move. “Yes! Take me to her!” I thought as I moved along with the ground.
