{But every result like this one has consequences; mine were terrible. Your choices will show you how it ended up like this...}
[[continue]]
{Across the hallways of the main school building my fast paced footsteps could be heard getting closer and closer. I pant; turn my head sideways nervously to see James and his bully gang catching up to me...}

suddenly my head hits a wall. there is only two choices now.
[[Stand my ground]]
[[I should not resist]] {I fight the bullies off the best as I can. I punch James on the face, but his minions get me and beat me to a pulp.}
(text-color:orange)|James>[ James: Is that all you got Dannyboy!!]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Maria: Knock it off James, leave him alone you goons NOW!]
{Thank god Maria...wait; my crush Maria was around to help me? Why? She helps me up.}
[[Take it]]
{I don't resist. Yet they pin me to a wall and start hitting me untill I fall to the floor and doze off.}
{Suddenly a honey-like soft voice raings in my ears.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Hey are you all right?]
{I realize that is my crush, Maria, the one who is talking to me. She offers her hand to me.}
[[Take it]]{As I take her hand she starts to act out a little weird, she plays with her hair and stutters a bit. Does she have a crush on me too or what? She turns to the left and to the right.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Maria: So you coming to the Halloween party tonight?]
sudenly my right hand starts to shake... Damn it, I forgot to take my epilepsy pills today.
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Maria: Hey are you alright?]
[[Yes]]
[[Umm what?]](text-color:red)|Maria>[Ok see you at the party tonight.]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[You: Yeah...right.]
[[Maybe]] (text-color:red)|Maria>[If you are all right? Your hand is shaking. Here take my scarf.]
{She wraps her scarf around my neck.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[So, see you at the Halloween party tonight?]
[[Maybe]]{I run towards the exit of the hallway, my heart is thumping. I take out my phone and call my mother}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Hello...Mom, Hello]
{No answer.}
{I take the school bus home and I sleep through the whole ride.}
[[I arrive home]](text-color:green)|Daniel>[Mom I'm home!] {I shout putting my back pack on a stool in the kitchen. She is on the phone talking with someone.}
{She gets off the phone and greets me.} (text-color:yellow)|Mom>[Mother: Hi sweetheart how are you?]
{She takes a look at my bruises.}. (text-color:yellow)|Mom>[James and his bullies again?]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Yeah.] {I sigh}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Mom is there any of my epillepsy medicne left?]
(text-color:yellow)|Mom>[There's one more dose. I believe you skipped it.]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Thank god!] {I rush to take it but in the middle of the way stands my mother.}
(text-color:yellow)|Mom>[Although your doctor called me a moment ago... he said that we could try to take away your medicine today.]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Well if that's the case there is this Halloween party tonight over at Diana's place, and I thought I couldn't go because of my condition, and now that you tell me this I thought I could go.]
(text-color:yellow)|Mom>[Sure you can go. It sounds fun, the only condition is you must stay away from alchohol]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Yes! thank you mom.]
{Should I take the last doze before going to the party?}
[[Yes just in case]]
[[Let's trust our mother (no)]]{I take the last doze before going to the party. Then go to my room to dress up and go}
[[Go to the party]]{I go straight to my room to get some rest, dress up and go}
[[Go to the party]] {I go to the party dressed up as a pirate. The music thumps, every one is having a good time. People who greet me are impressed of my costumme.I see Maria on the dance floor, and Diana sitting on a chair with some dude next to her. She doesn't seem to be having a good time.What shall I do?}
[[Talk with Diana]]
[[Go with Maria]]{I go to see what's wrong with Diana.}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Hi Diana] {She jerks her head to the side}
(text-color:purple)|Diana>[Diana: Oh, Hi Daniel, Maria is on the dance floor if you were loooking for her.]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Actually I was wondering why you look so upset.]
(text-color:purple)|Diana>[Oh, it's just my silly ex-boyfriend Matt, he wants to come back with me.]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Oh, I see... I'll go and check up on Maria.]
(text-color:purple)|Diana>[Thanks for checking up on me.]
(text-color:purple)|Diana>[Daniel, could you sneak cleo into Matt's stupid Zombie costume I'll bet it will be hilarious] {She pulls out a one meter long ball python from her sleeve.}
[[Go with Maria]]
[[Pull the prank on Matt]]{Maria is dancing joyfully on the dancefloor. She is wearing a purple dress. She glances at me, then runs towards me and hugs me.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[You made it!! And I was thinking you wouldn't come. Here, loosen up a bit.] {She hands me a red plastic cup}
[[Accept the beverage]]
[[Pick one from the drinks table]]{I take the beverage after all I don't think Maria would give me anything to harm me.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Come on pirate dance with me]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[What, now?]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Yes now, //Please.//]
[[Accept]]
[[I don't dance sorry.]] {I decide to reject the drink Maria offered me and pick one from the drinks table. After all I cannot drink any achohol.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Come on pirate let's dance.]
[[Accept]]
[[I don't dance sorry.]]{Maria pulls me into the dancefloor. We start swaying side to side.}
{We sip on our cups slowly as we dance, suddenly I start to feel a little light-headed.}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Maria let's stop dancing for a seccond.]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Daniel what's wrong?]
{I stumble on my words}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Maria did the drink I had contain any alchohol?]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Why are you asking me this?]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Just answer the question.]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Well, all drinks in this party are achoholic...]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Oh, I wasn't expecting that.]
[[Tell Maria you love her]]
[[Pretend everything is ok]](text-color:red)|Maria>[You party pooper]
{She walks away angrily}
[[start]] {I whisper the following words in Maria's ear:}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[I love you Maria, I will always be in your heart.]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[You are scaring me what do you mean.]
{My legs begin to shake until they can no longer hold me, my body paralizes. I know what comes next.}
[[Seizure]]{I continue to dance with Maria regretting that I didn't tell her I love her. Specially after my legs start to shake... I know what this means.}
[[Seizure]] {I loose conciousness. My whole body starts convulsing like in those horror movies when someone is possesed. Sudenly I find myself in a gloomy environment, I see a light.}
[[follow the light]]{I follow the light until it stops moving. I touch it and wake up dizzy in Diana's living room. I briefly see Maria and Diana and go back to sleep.}
[[Open my eyes.]]{I finally open my eyes to see Maria's ruined makeup from so much sobbing. Diana is beside me stopping me from making rash movements.}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[What happened?]
(text-color:red)|Maria>[You made it back.] {She says between sobs.}
{Both girls hug me tightly. Yet all good moments must come to an end...}
{I see a flame appear behind Maria and a hand emerges from it, grabs her by the leg...}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[I love you too.] {a tear drops from her right eye. The hand pulls her to hell.}
(text-color:red)|Maria>[Ahhhhhh.]
{And that's how I became god of the dead. My beloved Maria dragged to hell because of me.}
[[The end of my story]][[start]]
[[see my journey back to life]]{Everything is foggy, I hear a female voice from the distance speaking a language that I don't understand, and screams of people around me.(unfinished)}
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Where am I? Is this Hell.]
[[Go to the voice]]
[[Stay put]]{I go to the voice, and to my surprise is a woman performing some sort of ritual. I clear my throat.}
[[Ask the woman to identify herself!]]{I stay put and suddenly I hear the voice circling around me, mocking me.}
(text-color:magenta)["Where am I? where am I? I’m so scared please help me."]
(text-color:green)|Daniel>[Hey I don't talk like that. (text-color:purple)[[Ask the woman to identify herself!]]]
(text-color:magenta)["Ugh you're no fun."]

{Yet I scare a random girl with the prank.}
