i can hear you but cant see you . |
arent you back ? |
where are you ? |
no . |
i said frustrated , now tell us how you got back . |
he closed his eyes and sat down . |
i imagined myself in my body , and what is was like to be back . |
and then i was back to normal . |
wait . |
the wind picked up around him and then suddenly he was back , blue hair and all , standing beside his sitting , normal body . |
wow how did you do that ? |
emily gasped . |
i imagined what it was like to fight that creature . |
and then my body took over . |
he explained , but i dont think he even understood . |
then he was gone again and the real seth stood up . |
try it . |
i closed my eyes and thought of school and all of ms. stechers homework that i needed to do . |
then my body was doing the rest . |
i felt hot and cold , as the winds seemed to pick up . |
i shivered and opened my eyes . |
i was lying on the ground . |
my hair brown hair flopped in my face as i sat up , seeing emily dash over to me . |
seconds later jason walked through the trees , rubbing his face . |
seth grinned at all of us ; we were back . |
thats how it all started . |
i dont know how we got the gift to become these different people , but we did . |
thats the mystery and hopefully well solve it one day . |
we were chosen for some unknown reason , but that reason doesnt matter . |
all that matters is that we protect this town . |
jasons eyes flashed . |
i stood up and leaned over to him . |
what jason ? |
monsters , a whole bunch of them . |
i saw the movement near the pond . |
he pointed to the pond that was just nestled in the woods . |
and with that , we were off . |
running towards the pond to do what we do best , destroy monsters . |
only this time it was different . |
chapter 2 we ran and ducked behind a large boulder , huddling together . |
we all sat down , closed our eyes , and concentrated . |
i felt a shiver run through my body as i left it and entered my hunter form . |
i followed emily , jason , and seth as we crept silently over to the monsters , splitting up to surround them . |
i counted two thrashers , which surprised me . |
i swear we saw more before . |
the thrasher turned before we could execute a surprise attack . |
seth marched over , swinging his sword . |
jason threw knives calmly at the other monster while emily casted fire by his side . |
i , however , was jumped on by something entirely new . |
they were small and stubby , the size of dwarfs or gnomes . |
their skin was shriveled and grey , and hung off their bodies like cold clothing . |
their eyes were a bright yellow that matching their teeth and their fingers looked like gnarly old trees . |
and the smell ; it was awful . |
they grabbed my feet , back and tugged at my hair . |
why does everything always happen to me ? |
i complained . |
no one heard me . |
the ugly creatures continued tugging at me like annoying two year old , which made me get really annoyed . |
get off me ugly looking toad dwarfs . |
hey , thats what ill call you , toad dwarfs . |
i smiled at my quick thinking . |
i could be clever sometimes . |
take that seth . |
silly girl , were already called toad dwarfs . |
the one on my leg croaked . |
aw darn , never mind then . |
so much for being clever . |
the one on my back grabbed my hair . |
he yanked it back . |
ow ! |
it may be green but i still value it ! |
i grumbled , trying to pull my head free . |
i also had no desire to be bald at 16 . |
hes rising , hes rising ! |
the dwarf said excitedly . |
his voice cracked at the last word . |
who the heck is rising and why does it require pulling my hair out ! |
i snapped . |
hes rising , hes rising ! |
he repeated , full of crazed excitement . |
i swear i could feel him shaking from exhilaration . |
whatever , youre now an official maniac . |
i pulled out my hunting knife . |
maniacs get destroyed by me . |
no maniacs are allowed to exist except for me and emily . |
he jumped off as i stabbed the one on my arm . |
i grabbed my bow and shot him with an arrow before he his little legs could he him very far . |
he fell to the ground , the arrow sticking straight up at the sky . |
now the forest was maniac free . |
i killed the others and looked up to find the thrashers dead too , probably courtesy of seth . |
a few dwarfs were also lying dead in front of emily . |
i walked back to my body and closed my eyes . |
when i reopened them , i stood , stretching my legs . |
the four of us headed back to the restaurant together , adrenaline still pumping through my veins . |
i told emily and the boys about the freaky dwarves . |
crazy right ? |
i asked , running a hand through my hair . |
no one said anything and emily produced a pencil out of her bag . |
i need a piece of paper , jazell . |
i ripped one out of my notebook and handed it to her . |
