828 Words
'Shit...... first Mafias.....Now this... today is my unlucky day' Henry mumbled inwardly as a snake moved down his shoulder while he was holding his phone.
He now had two reasons for staying still, first were the mafias and now a snake, it was night so he couldn't see what type of snake it was, he had no choice but to sit still.
The snake crawled towards his pants and reached his little brother above his pants. His little brother became hard because of the sensitive snake movement.
"f**k!....... It's going to bite me down there" Henry moved his hands and held the head of the snake after which he stood up immediately.
Both of the mafias sent to kill him were close to the tree, and they heard the rustling sound of the snake.
"Ohhh...my god, I'm holding a snake in my hands, s**t they are coming" Henry''s ran towards the side and saw one of the mafias.
Before the mafia could raise his gun Henry threw the snake in his hands on top of the man's body and the man freaked out and threw his gun.
The snake landed on the man's shoulder and because of the man's struggle the snake bit him In the neck, and the snake turned out to be the most poisonous in the whole forest.
The other Mafia heard the shouts and screams and quickly ran in that direction, Henry picked up the gun on the ground and held it tightly, there was still one Mafia left and he was going to take him down or so he thought.
Henry hid behind a tree closer to the other Mafia who wasn't moving again, he was waiting for the second one then he would escape.
He heard footsteps approaching and he peeked and saw the other Mafia running. If he survived he will never peek but for now, it was still allowed.
The man ran towards his gang member on the ground.
"Haaaaaaa!" he shouted angrily and looked around, he didn't know how his friend got killed but he was going to kill Henry.
The man looked around and his friend's gun was nowhere to be found, he quickly raised his head but it was too late.
The gun was already loaded and Henry was pointing it towards the man's head.
Henry shot a gun for the first time in his life and the gun only moved him a little, his ears weren't disturbed because the gun was silenced.
"Ahhhhh" the man that Henry just shot cried in pain.
Henry was so surprised because he thought he had killed the man, but his aim was off, the bullet grazed the man's right ear.
Henry quickly raised the gun again but he wasn't as fast as a professional before he could make a move the man shot him straight in his chest and he fell to the ground.
Henry couldn't cry or shout, he couldn't make a sound because of the immense pain he felt in his chest, he had never experienced a gunshot before so he stood still on the ground knowing he was going to die.
The man c****d the gun again and approach Henry. The man's left hand was on his ears trying to stop the bleeding.
"Time to die fool"
Henry was immediately empowered by a strange force, he raises the gun and shoots the man's chest and it hits the man's heart killing him in the process.
As soon as Henry shot the man, he felt light fading from his eyes, he knew it was his time to die because he was in the middle of nowhere with a gunshot wound In his chest. His chances of survival were slim and he knew.
*Beep*
Henry's phone beeped and a message popped up.
[Ella]

The midday sun blazed overhead, casting shimmering waves of heat across an academy’s stone courtyard. A group of academy head's had gathered around a collapsed student, their robes fluttering slightly as they murmured amongst themselves. Some conjured small orbs of water to cool the unconscious boy, while others simply observed, their brows furrowed in concern.
Among them were several other students, all of whom had been waiting for the academy Supervisor. Their excitement had turned to curiosity—and then unease—when the boy had suddenly collapsed without warning.
The boy felt a sharp pain in his chest like he was stabbed by a knife.
"Damm!, that hurts" Henry mumbled as his eyes fluttered open and he placed his right hand on his chest before pushing himself up to a sitting position
“Where am I?” Henry muttered, his voice hoarse.
His eyes blinked at his surroundings. The unfamiliar setting made his heart race. Towering stone buildings surrounded him, their spires stretching toward the sky, adorned with arcane symbols. The strange people before him were dressed in flowing robes, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
