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 . |
