Day to day math

“What are you going to do?” I asked Van as we were walking/limping back to the house after work. 'First he hurts his leg falling from the fence then he decides to show me his F in math. Smart.' I thought with exasperation.

“I don't know. That's why I showed you before mom.” he said looking hopefully at me.

“No. No way. I am not saving your hide again.” I said as I walked a little faster.

“Why not?” he asked while catching up to me.

“Because last time I saved you I ended up in trouble for you having the F.” I said with a stair.

“Still I need your help. Please. It won't happen again.”

“Yes it would and my answer is still no.” I said as I pushed him over the fence.

“Jason.” Van said in a slightly afraid voice.

“What?” I asked wondering if mom was on the other side.

“How many heads is a dog supposed to have?” he asked sounding even more afraid.

“I know your bad at math but you should know...” I started to say as I saw why he had asked. There was a huge dog with three heads. It was pure white except for the eyes. The eyes were a light blue with no pupil and no whites. If I wasn't mistaken it was waiting for something. “On three come over the fence jump and run as fast as you can and whatever you do don't follow me.” I whispered and before he could ask why I yelled, “1....2....3 GO” and jumped down. I began to run as soon as I hit ground, but before I could reach the end of the ally the dog was chasing after me. How had I guessed that this would happen.

I had to think of something fast. It was catching up. What was I going to do?

“Call me.” I heard in my head.

“What?” I said in shock as I kept running.

“Call me.” the voice kept repeating.

“How?” I mumbled

“Say my name.” it answered. What name? I couldn't think of that now. The dog had almost caught up.

It answered my thought and whispered“Admon”

It was my last chance so I called with all my might “Admon”

I flew forward with the power that came forth. I turned to see my doom and found something very different. There was a man there with red hair that looked as though if you touched it you would burn. He was wearing a red Chinese tunic with a blue dragon on the sleeves.

As I gawked he said “Finally you could hear me.”

“What?”

“Long story. How about you stay back so I can deal with this.” he said as his hands began to glow.

“Okay.” I said. He fought easily. The dog didn't stand a chance. It was over for it. I was alive. I was safe....

Admon

“He fell asleep with the pressure.” I whispered picking him up

“So he awakened you” a girl said.

“Yes” I answered without turning.

“Be careful.” she ordered.

“Of course.” I said as I began to leave.
