Are you ready for...
Our "When Will I Die" Quiz?

  1. "Oh my god you look AMAZING" your best friend Carol exclaims. "Oh wait I have to fix something" she quickly brushes away your bangs. "Sorry, but we want to see your all of your pretty face" she says jokingly. You smile, "Thanks Carol" you walk over to a mirror and fully inspect what you're wearing to the prom...
  2. "I remember when I got my dress" you say, "it was the only one in my size, and it fits perfectly" You walked over to the kicthen to see Carol laying out her shoes. "Okay, so I'm thinking about the silver straps but I also like the open toe with all the glitter" Carol says to you. You roll your eyes, "Carol do you really think any of the guys there will care about shoes?" you ask. "Well, if there's a shy guy there he'll be staring at the ground all the time. Besides, don't act like you had to think hard about picking your shoes, I think the store was about to close by the time you went with the rhinestone heels." You nod, "yes that's true but I didn't take three days to pick my top five and then have to beg my friend to pick one for me" you retort. Carol sighs, "can you just help me pick one?" she asks. You nod, "of course, but next time don't wait until last minute for things like this" you decide to pick...
  3. "Go with these" you hand her the shoes. She takes them graciously, "perfect, and wait until you see my dress! It's Vera Wang!" she runs upstairs before you can ask what the heck that meant. You follow her and wait until she's done changing. "I'm ready for my close up" she bursts through the door and strikes a pose. She twirls around in her hot pink gown covered with glitter. "Oh my god it's perfect!" you gasp in awe how gorgeous it looks. "I know right, and it only cost five hundred dollars!" she says it like it was a good deal. "Whoa, how on earth did you get five hundred dollars?" you ask. "Meh, allowance, chirstmas money, I've been saving up for this dress for as long as I can remember" you both head downstairs and fix any last minute details. "This is going to be so much fun!" you say, "I mean how many guys do you think will be there?" you turn to Carol who's adding another barette to her hair. "Probably enough to find some good boyfriend material, I'm holding out for a ten on the hottie scale" she finishes her hair and sits beside you. "Well I just hope they play some good music... meaning a few slow dances here and there instead of constant remixes" you fiddle with your clutch. "Oh I bet they're going to play at least one Taylor Swift song, at the very least" Carol grabs her cell phone and starts charging it. "I just wish the time would hurry up, we are way too early" you both have an hour to kill so Carol decides to have a photoshoot of the dresses. "It's going to be so much fun!" she says as she unplugs her cell. You get your phone as well and start taking pictures. You both strike poses and make faces. Then you decide to take a picture with your cell phone. "Okay Carol time for your close up" you say. She grins, "whenever you're ready darling" she says in a very diva-like voice. You take the picture and show it to her. "Oh my god, I look sooo good" she says. "Yeah, hey let's take one together" you stand beside her and take a picture. "Wow, we look like models" you say. "I'm totally adding this to my new desktop, I mean we look so awesome" Carol adds. You suddenly get an idea "Hey Carol, I want to get a picture of you touching your nose with your tongue!" you say excited. "Well if you insist" you says jokingly. She touches her nose with her tongue and you take a picture of it with your phone. Everything was going pretty smoothly until...
  4. ... your phone plays your text ringtone. Carol currently has your phone so she reads it. "________, you are in danger... from Warren" Carol looks at you excited. "Oh my god who's Warren?" "What? I don't know anyone named Warren" you protest. "Well obviously he knows you, I mean this is a new phone you've only given your new number to me and your parents." she points out. "Well maybe it's the wrong number" "Nuh uh, it clearly says your name on it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this Warren dude is real" "Yeah right, it's probably someone sending me a prank" you grab the phone from Carol and delete the message. "Yeah you could be right... still what if you are in danger? Oh my god what if he's hot and has to protect you! Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! That would be so-" "Creepy?" "I was gonna go with romantic thank you very much" Carol puts her hands on her hips. "Besides, I'm always getting the guys, wouldn't it be awesome if you had a really sexy boyfriend who had to save you all the time?" Carol asks. You give her a look that makes her shut up "then I'd have to change my name to Bella Swan" you say. "Oh... good point" Carol says. "Like I'd need saving, I'm not helpless" you cross your arms. "Nope, not at all... I'm just saying wouldn't it be so awesome?" Carol swoons with delight. "It'd be like those quiz stories you're always taking!" she says. You shrug, "okay I kind of see your point but it's not like he's going to waltz up to my door and ask me to the prom" Suddenly the doorbell rings. "Oh my god, it's coming true!" Carol squeals with delight. "Carol it's just the doorbell" you walk over to the door. You see it's Carol's date to the prom, open the door and you barely have enough time to scream before the pistol is pointed at your head. You shut your eyes and hear the deafening crack of the gun. You feel cold
  5. You wait... "where's the pain? why am I still alive?" you think. Cautiously you open your eyes, you find Carol's date sprawled on the porch in a pool of blood with the pistol inches away from his cold dead fingertips. You scream in horror as Carol comes running. "What is it! ______, what's going-" she looks down and no amount of blush can hide the pale white from her once rosy cheeks. You look up from the dead body and see a really tall guy with blonde hair put away his silver revolver (it looks a lot like an antique)"Did you just shoot him?" you point at the dead date. "I think so, otherwise he's one hell of an actor. Got to your friend, to get to you, meaning he wanted you dead." he leans on his car. "Yeah well I can see that, thank you captain obvious" you snap at him. "Don't insult him, he just saved your life" Carol nudges you. "Hey are you Warren?" she asks. "Yes, I take it ______, got my text" Warren says. "Yes" you reply. "And you didn't listen" he cocks his head. "Yes, but in my defense it was creepy and uncalled for" you say. "Okay then, I've been called worse. You and your friend have to come with me right now" he opens the car door. "Uh no, I'm calling 911 so you don't kidnap us" you start to turn but Carol stops you. "Oh my god ______, he just saved our lives." Carol says. "Yeah, but I'm not an idiot. When someone you don't know asks you to get in a car you say no!" you try to get around Carol but she's stronger than you and you can't pass her. "Look _____, we really have to go now" Warren says urgently. "Why?" you ask. "I can't tell you but seriously we have to go right now" he walks over to you. "No" you stand your ground. Warren gets closer and looks you in the eyes. "Please" suddenly there's this weird feeling inside of you. It's almost as if it was burried deep inside of you for centuries and you forgot about them. You stare at him and feel a wave of guilt, pure guilt and sadness once you look him in the eyes. "W-w-who a-are you?" you tremble. "You'll remember me... but right now we have to go NOW" Warren gestures you to the car. "I'm coming" Carol says as she pulls you towards the car. "Carol what the hell?" you freak out. "______, listen to me. I think this guy is serious about this. I mean haven't you noticed people aren't coming from the gun shot?" she points out. You blink in surprise, it never occured to you before but Carol is right. "Hey Warren, where is everyone?" you ask. "You made sure no one was here ahead of time" he answers. "WHAT? no I was getting ready for Prom with Carol" you say. "I meant the other you" Warren said. With that he ran inside the car himself and started honking the horn. "Are you coming or not?" he asks both of you. Carol runs into the car and you shake your head "I must be out of my mind" you go into the car and buckle your seatbelt. "Okay I have my cellphone so if this IS a kidnapping then at least I can call the police" you think to yourself as you pat your cellphone.
  6. Suddenly Warren drives crazy fast away from the house. You're relieved that you put on your seatbelt. You check the speedometer and you see that he's going 200 miles an hour!!! "SLOW DOWN" Carol yells. Warren only shrugs, "Sorry ladies, but you took too long. I'm just trying to make up for lost time" he says it as if you just forgot to bring money for popcorn at a movie theatre. "Look Warren, can you at least tell us where we're going before you kill us?" "Oh we're just getting away from the house" he replies. You give him a look, "Why?" suddenly you hear a deafening BOOM behind you. You and Carol turn to look at her house... or at least what's left of it. Debris flys everywhere, flames devour the sky, you feel the heat waft through the car. "...that's why" Warren says flatly. "Oh my god MY HOUSE" Carol freaks out. You console her as best as you can. "Carol it's alright..." "Are you kidding me? Everything I know and love is gone, pictures, memories, my designer purses, they're all GONE" she sobs uncontrolably while you hug her. "Look, we're still alive... that's something" you try to look on the positive side. "That's right" Warren chimes in as he gradually slows down. "So where's my thank you?" he asks. You sigh, "Thank you Warren" you say as politely as you can. "Your welcome, although there's a few things you should know at the moment" he looks at Carol and she muffles her sobs into silent tears dripping off her face. "First of all, you're wanted either dead or alive by multitudes of people-" "WHY? I didn't do anything!" you inturupt. "That's just it, you haven't done anything... yet. Second, your friend can either stay with you or leave. If she stays she'll be constantly running from all kinds of dangers and have to face life or death desicions. If she leaves, she'll never see you ever again..." Warren stopped the car near a park. "So... she has to decide" he waits patiently as Carol is composing herself. "Why can't I see her if I leave?" she asks. "Because... she's going to have to... travel a lot" he says it carefully, like he needs the right words for it. "In that case I'm staying" Carol grabs your hand and stares at Warren. "I'm not abandoning my best friend in her time of need" You look at Carol differently, she's never done anything so courageous in her life. This is the same girl who hides in the corner during dodgeball! Yet she's risking her life for you... your true best friend forever. "Thank you Carol" you said fighting back tears. "Thank you..."
  7. "Okay then" Warren starts the car up again and drives at normal speed. "The last thing you need to know is about your "past" life" he uses quotation fingers for past. You look at him confused. "What do you mean "past" life" you mimic him. "What I mean is that you have to forget the past, it's all over from this point on. I'm talking family and friends... except for the weeping one." he gestures his head to Carol. "Everyone you know is nothing to you now" he says. "Excuse me, but my family and friends are the things I care about the most" "not anymore" he says "Uh no, I still care about them" you cross your arms. "I'm not going to let some random guy tell me to forget everything that's dear to my life" you state. Warren sighs "You're main goal right now is to be invisable. Otherwise, I'd kiss your family, friends, and the future goodbye" "Future? What's the future got to do with this?" you ask suspicious. "Oh what's the future got to do with this? EVERYTHING you have to forget the past to remember the future. Until then you're going to be hunted down by everyone until you're either dead or enslaved. I don't want you in either position, UNDERSTAND" Warren sighs heavily. "Look I know I'm not the best at being comforting, but please understand that your life is in danger and nothing is more important than you right now. If you die, then the future is ultimately destroyed in miliseconds, in fact an entire paradox will rip the very fabric of time and space and destroy the universe in a massive wormhole of destruction and chaos... so I think your family can wait a few days" You let the words sink in and for the rest of the car ride you and Carol are silent.
  8. You feel the car stop and look up, you're at an abadoned mansion on a hilltop. It's an enormous wreck! The windows are shattered, the roof is collapsed, the double doors are sliced in half, and the walls look as if they're about to fall down from all the wind blowing. "We have to stay here?" Carol whines. "No, we're temporarily staying here until we need to leave" Warren says as he's taking out luggage bags. You open them and see your clothes, Carol opens the other and sees her clothes are also in there. "Hey, how are these even here? We never packed!" you're a bit freaked out. "Oh that's not important right now, but if you're still interested I'll tell you later. In the meantime I need you to do something" Warren looks directly at you. "What do you want me to do? Make a fire?" you ask sarcastically. "No, I need you to look at the mansion" he says. "I already did-" "I mean really look at it" he inturupts. You roll your eyes but do it anyways. You take in the wreckage as Warren talks to you. "You see _______, this mansion used to be amazing. It had everything you'd ever want: massive bedrooms, gorgeous decorations, and a stunning ballroom... can you imagine it all?" he asks. You keep staring at the mansion, trying to picture everything he was saying. The sad and lonesome mansion was hard to picture as anything else. The walls were practically begging to be destroyed. You stared at it, long and hard, then closed your eyes. "I can imagine it better with my eyes closed" you say. "I'm imaginging the bedrooms... the ballroom... the garden" you say. "I never said anything about a garden" Warren says. You shake your head, "no there's a garden... right there" you point at where the garden is in your mind. "The kitchen! oh it always smells like cookie dough, and the water slide by the pool! I can see it all... wait a minute... I CAN SEE IT" you're not picturing anything anymore, it's crystal clear in your mind... like an old memory. You raise your arms like you're reaching out to it. "I see the dining room, and the grand staircase! Oh it's all here! it's all right here!" You suddenly feel power flowing into your body. The energy of the universe is all around you, and you're taking it all in. Your mind becomes one with the universe, every strand, every star, energy like no other is pulsing from your fingertips. You open your eyes and see the mansion slowly rebuilding itself... as if the world was on rewind. The energy within you moves backwards, like a spinning top or... a clock. You see Warren and Carol holding onto your arms, you look down and see you're floating five feet off the ground. This doesn't matter to you, all that matters is the house slowly becoming what you saw in your head. The house you knew and loved more than anything, being brought back to life before your very eyes. You want to laugh, cry, and scream all at once, but you focus on the house. The sun rises and sets and rises and sets as you save what you lost so long ago. The house is finally done being built and you drop your arms. The power you once felt escapes as soon as your arms drop and you feel the ground touch your feet. You look at the mansion and it's everything you saw, the colorful garden, the decorative windows, and the brand new roof. You gasp for breath, you feel dizzy and everything goes blurry. You feel someone catch you, you stare up into Warren's blue eyes. "Don't worry ________, I'll never let you fall" was the last thing you heard before you blacked out...
