LOSE) "That statue doesn't belong to you!” you shout at the top of your lungs. The men laugh and look at you with an evil glare. You wind up and slug the medium-sized thief right on the chin! He drops to the ground like a ton of bricks! The other two thieves look very angry now. The taller one grabs your arms from behind while the smaller one pulls out your father's golden dagger. You struggle, but you are held tight. "You shouldn't have tried to stop us.” the smaller thief chuckles. "See you in Hades!" With that he plunges the blade deep into your chest! You feel the cold metal against your insides and feel faint. The last sight you see is the two thieves carrying away the statue of Athena.

THE END

START OVER
