every time she hit him .
he grimaced and said , stop hitting me already !
alright , she made a motion to put the stick down and hit him again in the head .
he glared at her and she threw it on the floor , now im done .
so jason , i faced him and he looked up at me , since seth wont tell me ill ask you .
how did you guys find us ?
we followed a dwarf that was running here .
if we didnt get lost , we would have been here faster , jasons face turned the color of his red igneerian hair .
its okay , at least you answered me , i shot seth a look .
well if its okay with you boys , we would like to get to bed .
its almost 1:30 in the morning , and i would like to get home before my dad wakes himself up , emily said , and walked towards her house .
i waved quickly and followed .
the rest of the night was quiet and didnt include singing dwarfs .
before we went to bed though there was a lot of furious writing as emily tried to write everything down .
after that , was all sleep .
in the morning , we ate pancakes that emilys mom had made us and set off for the park .
we happened to run into jason and seth half way and at the same time watched a pole freeze in the middle of july .
you dont get to see that every day , which usually meant there was a monster involved .
jason , seth and emily saw it too because i was chasing after them as we all ran for the few trees ahead .
in a few seconds i had a complete view of the culprit .
and strange enough it was a frost beast .
frost beasts are the cutest monsters youll ever see .
theyre the size of medium dogs and their pelts are a light , icy blue .
they may be cute but if you dont watch out , they could easily be the most dangerous monsters around .
dont let them breath on you , or youll freeze to death .
literally .
the frost beast whimpered at me , showing me the cutest eyes imaginable .
i wanted to melt and hug him but i knew better not to fall victim to its trick .
i drew a single arrow and aimed it at its throat .
i didnt want to kill it , but i knew if i didnt , it would kill me without a second thought .
frost beasts dont appear until the end of fall and into winter .
they love the cold and cant stand the heat .
thats why i knew something was wrong right away , because it shouldnt have been here .
it was against its nature and when nature goes wrong , thats a big sign .
i pulled back on the string but emily ran forward and shot fire .
the beast simply opened its mouth and breathed .
what was a shot of fire was now a single icicle that landed on the ground in front of it .
instead jason came forward and attacked with his knives .
the beast froze the first few into harmless ice cubes but finally went down when one got past its defenses .
behind his body appeared seven thrashers and many more frost beasts .
it was like a monster reunion .
ive never seen so many in one place before .
a thrasher pack had at least six or seven but there must have been more than ten monsters total .
it was scary .
right then , right at that very moment , i knew something was terribly wrong .
they all stopped in front of us , all those pairs of angry eyes staring at us .
they made me confused , from the warm feeling the frost beasts gave me to the cold feeling the thrashers inflicted .
they exchanged some sort of signal , including grunts and yips , and slowly advanced on us .
the dogs stalked toward the four of us looking like a animals about to attack their prey .
the cute look was gone and all that was left was hunger .
the dog nearest to me jumped at my chest and landed on my stomach .
i managed to push it down before it breathed on me .
my legs froze in place .
emily i need some defrost .
i called to her as the cold seeped through my pants and bit at my skin .
emily turned her head and was about to reply when the dog caught her robe .
she spun around , shooting fire and completely forgetting my cry for help .
at the same time my dog attacker pushed me to the ground , freeing my legs for me .
get off me mutt .
i growled at his face .
he stared down at me , debating whether or not to freeze me right away .
that was his mistake because while he was waiting , i had brought my hunting dagger down on him .
i stood up and shook the heavy body off .
i didnt even have time to breath before one of the thrashers decided that they would like to have a taste of me .
i decided that i didnt want to be shredded like some old rug , so i moved out of his path .
that was the worst mistake i made , without even realizing it .
at the same time another thrasher was heading in my direction , and by moving out of the way from the first one , i had placed myself in the path of the second one .
it slammed into my side at such a great force i tasted blood in my mouth , when i hit the ground .
then i felt pain , saw blood , and then nothing at all .
chapter 4 i heard muffled voices around me as i regained consciousness .
my head throbbed slightly , and so did my side and my tongue .
that explained why i had tasted blood ; i must have bitten it .
for a second i thought i had returned to my human self when i heard a blast of fire that probably came from emily .
seth when will she wake up ?
a voice said .
then i realized it was emily .
shes alive and shell wake up soon .
stop nagging me , a different voice said that was obviously seths .
he was really close to me because i could feel his breath on my face and his voice was very loud .
which wasnt helping my throbbing head at all .
but when ?
i dont like just staying here , when more monsters might come .
we cant do two things at once .
emily nagged anyway .
i could just picture her bouncing up and down on her heels , full of tension .
i felt rush of hot air near my left side .
seth was probably sighing , we cant move her emily .
if we could , we would .
i opened my eyes to see seth face hovering above me .
emily was pacing in the background and jason was standing off to the side , looking very uninterested in the current situation .
seth smiled at me and i felt myself blush .
it was kind of embarrassing to get knocked out when no one else did .
welcome back , zombie hunter girl , seth teased .
how long was i out ?
i asked , blushing brighter .
except i couldnt pin down the reason why .
seth frowned , i dont know but it seemed like forever .
you scared us , jazell .
especially seth , emily piped up behind him .
he was the one going crazy to bandage you and was worrying more than the rest of us .
