We sit in silence for a few minutes while Cooper processes what I have shared with him. I’m secretly hoping that he has finished asking questions but I’m wrong.

“What do the monsters do?”

“That’s a hard one, monsters are the cause of human deaths and abductions.” Cooper sucks in a sharp breath, then releases

“How can I help you?”

“Well first off, we need to find Ash, he will be the only other person in these mountains and if that’s not true, we are in trouble.” Cooper nods several times then without further conversation stands up and walks outside. I lay there stunned at how quickly he believed me

“Cooper?” I call out
“Yes.” Is his reply, but it sounded very far away. “What are you doing?”
“I am starting to pack away all the stuff outside so we can make a quick get away tomorrow. If you wouldn’t mind, could you start shoving all the stuff that is not in a bag, into a bag? That would be lovely. I will tell you more when I am finished out here.”

  • Nightmare   Meeting Lyrica (Natalie)

    While Cooper places all of his luggage and possessions into his car that is parked about 5 kilometres away from the campsite. I grab my new bow and have a bit of a practice. My ankle is still a little sore and my rib is taking it’s time to heal, but all I want to do is get away from this place and far away from Aidan, whoever that guy was. With the bow in my hand I feel complete as I walk into the undergrowth of the trees, that once was my greatest enemy, now my greatest ally. I set up several targets, carving crosses into the bark of the trees, some in front, some behind and some to the sides, so I can practice speed and change of direction. I start with the ones in front making sure that I have my usual rhythm then I speed up until I am shooting 1 arrow a second. Every arrow I release thunks as it hits its target. Then I start to move around changing directions really fast and still every arrow hits it’s target. While I do this I let go of all of my frustrations, confusion, anger

  • Nightmare   Two becomes Three (Natalie)

    We make our way through the trees until we come to a clearing. We spread out so we can search the clearing faster, Cooper knows we are looking for Ash but Lyrica doesn’t know the full story yet. Once we have thoroughly searched the clearing we head on our way, continuing through the dense trees that surround and swallows us whole. I allow myself to look at the beauty that surrounds me, not for the first time I am completely taken by how well preserved it is, thanks to most of mankind because they are to scared to come here, the beautiful forest still remains intact and complete. I look around searching for all the animals and the animals that are making the sounds that fill the silence, there are some birds chirping in the trees, but the animals are to well hidden by the thick layer of leaves that block out the sunlight and the sky. I imagine myself in thirty years from now still looking the same age and still felling young running around the mountains with Ash who is now my husband

  • Nightmare   Reunited (Natalie)

    We search for hours, with no sign of him and as soon as the sun disappears behind the trees, we have to give up the search until tomorrow. We set up camp and we are lucky to find out that Lyrica has her own tent that she can sleep in, we all say goodnight and go to sleep. The next morning as soon as the sun’s first light shines onto the tent I am awake. My heart beats fast as I remember what the monster had said. You have three days to find him, 3 days and I am already down one day. Which means if I don’t find him soon, he dies, or I die, I don’t know which one, and so I need to find him soon. Quickly I change out of the clothes I was wearing last night and into my other clothes, which are Cooper’s; but they fit me, just. I climb over Cooper and exit the tent. I grab my bow and quiver as well, just in case they plan a surprise attack. I run around the clearing searching for anything that could resemble something of Ash’s. It isn’t until I roll my ankle by falling into a hole that w

  • Nightmare   Back in my arms! (Ash)

    Natalie grabs my hand and glances towards the pile of bones. “We will have time to talk later, but right now we have to go, we are running out of time.” She says. I nod my head in understanding and grip her hand even tighter and she returns the gesture. We crawl through the tunnel side by side; the tunnel is quite dark and smells really bad which I am guessing is because of the rotting dead bodies that are at the end of the tunnel. The tunnel feels like it goes forever just because I really want to talk to her. Finally we reach the end of the tunnel and find ourselves in a large hole. Natalie climbs out first and then she takes off running in the direction of the tents that are on the other side of the clearing. When we finally make it to the tents, Natalie calls out “Cooper? Lyrica?” A million thoughts are travelling through my brain. Who is this Cooper? And who is Lyrica? What happened to Nat when she fell? Should I tell her all about finding the sword? All about what happe

  • Nightmare   While Separated (Ash)

    “Well I will start by explaining what happened when I woke up. I woke up with a start, but at first I couldn’t move because of my injuries. So I decide to crawl. I crawled for about five minutes and suddenly the trees open up around me and I find myself in a clearing, a massive clearing and right in the middle of that clearing is a well. My body moves and slowly I am standing up. Then I am walking, then I am running to the well; I didn’t know I had that much energy, I guess it was just the need to get to the water to have water hydrating my body. I grab the rope and start pulling, slowly the bucket rises, then when I see it, I cry out with happiness. Water, lovely pure water, I grab the bucket, check the water and then start drinking. The pure untouched water runs down my throat, the amazing water. It isn’t until I hear a low grunting noise, that I realise it was a trap. 20 or more monsters surround me coming at me from all sides, I have nowhere to go. I am attacked, I fight for a lit

  • Nightmare   Saddened (Ash)

    “What the hell just happened?” I say to the trees, knowing that Natalie is asking herself to same question. I try to stand, but that doesn’t work so I end up crawling towards Natalie instead. I want to know what she saw, why that happened. When I reach her, she brakes down into tears. Then suddenly she is on her feet, she reaches down and grabs my arm, pulling me up. Then she is running in the direction we were going. I don’t know why she changed her pace; all I know is that it must be important. So, I race after her, she neither gains nor losses ground. We run for what feels like hours, it isn’t until we come to a familiar spot that I realise, Natalie must have remembered something or been shown something. We race towards the car, shoving the stuff into the boot then climbing into the car, I shove the car into drive and we race off down the mountain towards home. We will probably have to move soon, at this rate we will never kill all the monsters and they will end up winning, b

  • Nightmare   Confusion! (Aidan)

    What is happening to me? How did she do it? All these questions spill out of my mouth as I hunt for answers about this strange and supernatural happening. My monsters are just as confused as I am, they are all miserable and sad faced. As I pace around my room my thoughts always return to that one mysterious, dangerous and beautiful girl. I don’t know what it is about her, but she seems to have so much potential, and ability but she doesn’t know or realise. I don’t know what she sees in Ash, he was so easy to manipulate, but that could have been because I was heavily focused on making Natalie die in his manipulation. I want Natalie for myself and the only way I can see that happening is if I kill Ash myself but make it look as if that Cooper boy was the one to kill him. “But how will I do it? That is the question.” I guess I could manipulate Cooper into killing him like I did to him in his dreams where he tried to kill Natalie, but it really depends on Natalie. Like the prophecy

  • Nightmare   Plan (Aidan)

    That night I lay in my bed and all I can think about is the female Ma Vista. She would be mine, she could have been mine, but I found her too late. The male had already gotten his claws into her. “Org.” I scream in fury. It was for me, she was meant for me. In the prophecy it read that once they share their first kiss they would practically become unstoppable. I have to find a way to prevent that from happening. “But how?” I say out loud not realising that I wasn’t alone. “But what master?” the monster scares me out of my thoughts, and I look at the beautiful sea blue monster that I would have only dreamed about as a boy. “But what master?” it repeats. That’s when I realise what must have happened. Slowly I rise out of bed. “Sorry I was talking to myself, what is the matter Blue?” If I could remember correctly Blue was one of the newest monsters and I had been watching the training that the older monsters had been teaching and he had been a star student. And that was

  • Nightmare   A different Master (Natalie)

    Suddenly he stands; I glance at him anxiously wondering what he’s about to do. He scans the area, I watch his legs stiffen and as he slowly rotates his neck to look at me. His eyes aflame with anger, a low growl escapes through his tightly closed lips. “What have you done?” I stare at him in horror “I...I...I didn’t do any...anything.” I stutter as he continues to glower at me. “Liar!” He screams, as his hands reach around my throat and he shakes me viciously. I am gasping for breath as I struggle against Aidan trying to break away or at least loosen his hold on me. With out warning he throws me away from him and glares at towards the end of the street. Tentatively I ask “Aidan?” My voice growing with concern, not for him but my wellbeing, as I have no idea what he is looking at. “Hush Natalie, there is no need for you to worry your little head about this.” He gives me a long hard look, before reaching behind him and grabbing the sword that he had released earlier when he sh

  • Nightmare   Vision (Natalie)

    As the vision comes, my eyes seem to slowly close, and as I’m surrounded by back a small stream of light breaks through the opening of my eyelids. As my eyes open, the bodies and the blood that surround me are confronting. All my friends are being slaughter, I look around the clearing and see Ash fight beside Aaron, they both seem to be protecting each other’s back. I scan the rest of the clearing to see Lyrica fighting beside Cooper, but she keeps glancing at him like there might be something wrong with him, but she doesn’t let this stop her from throwing sand and swinging her sword in every direction she can. I see some of Riley’s fighters fighting with the equipment that they grab this morning before we left. There are some bodies on the ground but they are to far away for me to see what they are. As I climb to my feet, I Ash turns in my direction and a look of relief flashes over his face. He exchanges a few words with Aaron, Aaron nods and they slowly make their way towards me.

  • Nightmare   Fighting (Natalie)

    As he brings his sword down I raise mine, creating a loud clang as the metal collides into each other and as the sparks fly, I am suddenly fearful that these moments could be my last. As we battle we both try to take over each others mind, but we both seem to be as strong as each other as we shield the other from our own thoughts. Everything seems to be floating around my mind unable to settle on anything that is happening. Even fighting him seems to be just happening as though I have been sword fighting my whole life, as I swing my sword advancing and deflecting his own attack I am still able to notice what he is doing and I notice myself looking for weaknesses in his defence. Sparks continue to fly and the metal clashing seems to echo of the brick buildings that surround us. “Ma Vista, you are all alone how do you plan of getting away from me?” “I don’t know Aidan, but I know that someone will come looking, even if this takes us all day.” Aidan chuckles a low deep noise that mak

  • Nightmare   Manipulated (Cooper)

    Then I look back up at my dad, he seems worried, really worried. The light from the sun is starting to disappear so it must be getting late. He glances back in the direction that I just ran off in, before turning and sprinting off in the opposite direction. After running a kilometre or so, I realise that we are at the same clearing that Natalie found Ash in. Dad keeps looking around, and as I follow the direction of his gaze I finally see what a monster looks like. I can’t tell if it is because I can see with dad’s eyes or if the master is allowing me to see it. But it is the most grotesque thing I have ever seen in my life, slowly the monster approaches, it’s massive. The colour of it is so dark it’s looks like it is as black as night, with the most crimson eyes I have every seen. Dad grabs an arrow and aims it at the monster. Abruptly, a deep raspy voice emits from its mouth “I wouldn’t do that if I were you Ma Vista.” I am taken aback, wait, what did he just say? I know what he

  • Nightmare   Finding Lyrica (Cooper)

    As soon as the battle started, everyone was lost in the fray, I saw Natalie run in one direction and Ash tried to follow but I am guessing to many monsters had crowded him because he had to stop and all I could see was the light reflecting off his sword as he cut them down, well I think he cut them down. I decide to stick with Lyrica, more so now after our new relationship has bloomed. I see people being cut down everywhere, most injured but others it’s hard to tell. I also see a lot of sand bags bursting as they hit the hidden monsters. It doesn’t take long before Lyrica and I are standing back-to-back, surround by the invisible monsters. I swing my sword sometimes I feel the hit but other times it only feels like air. My sword just seems to never find a purchase; I can tell that Lyrica is finding it to be quite frustrating as I hear her swinging her sword and hearing the sound of the air swishing past the shape blade. We must fight for hours, before long I am exhausted and I still h

  • Nightmare   Explosion (Natalie)

    It’s not long until I find both of them standing in a corner out of sight from the street in case any monsters decided to attack them. I race towards Ash happy that he isn’t injured yet. “It’s so good to know that you are okay. Have you heard of any losses yet?” “I saw one of Riley’s group go down, but that’s all I know of. How are you going?” “I’m okay, that’s not good, have you seen Cooper or Lyrica or Alex?” “No as soon as the battle started I lost sight of them.” “Okay, well I came to find you so we could stick together and watch each others backs.” “Yeah, that’s a great idea. By the way have you seen the large black monster that appeared in our last nightmare?” “No, but when I do I’m taking him down.”
“And I will be right beside you.”
“Okay we should probably head back out, remember we are looking for the master, I have tried to get into his head but he seems to be blocking me and I have a feeling that some of the monsters are helping with that.” “How do y

  • Nightmare   Preparation (Natalie)

    By the time we have everyone up and in the lounge room we have lost half an hour. Everyone looks panicked and unfocused. “Alright guys, the time has come for us to band together to beat this evil that has descended upon us.” With that I grab Ash’s hand and walk towards the front door, they quickly fall into step behind me. We walk onto the street and then onto the main high way that runs through Frostvale. I make sure that everyone still has all their weapons as well as their sand bags and then we stand in a line, restricting any of the monsters to penetrate further into the town. We stand for close to maybe an hour, waiting, just waiting for any sign of movement or panic. Just when I am about to give the signal to dismiss and go back to the house, we hear screams in the distance. Then sure enough I see the monsters and my brain nearly explodes. There must be hundreds of them, maybe even nearly a thousand. They are all walking along the road and in the hands of some of them, are th

  • Nightmare   Last Good Sleep! (Natalie)

    While Ash and I are collecting the last weapons from the garage to hand out among the fighters, I am struck by a message, and it doesn’t take me long to realise that I am not meant to hear it. A small voice in the back of my head calling me
“Come now monsters join the battle, I need you here now. It’s been a long time since we have had the chance to destroy the Ma Vista’s and that time has come.” The voice stops. I look at Ash; he must see the horror in my face, because he immediately drops the weapons that are in his hands and runs over to me. I look into his brown eyes and see the question he doesn’t want to ask. I nod my head; he grabs my hand in an iron tight grip and grabs the weapons he dropped earlier. We race out the door and head toward where the rest of the group are waiting. As we arrive, everyone that has agreed to fight against the invisible monsters walk into Ash’s lounge room. “Everyone the time has come. We need to take arms, fight together and work togethe

  • Nightmare   Blue (Natalie)

    We lay tangled in each other’s arms for what feels like ages before I finally decide that I should have a shower, and I disentangle myself from him. Then suddenly a thought of a Blue monster flicks through my mind. Oh, shit we forgot about Blue, we left him at the front door. “Ash?”
“Yes, Nat?”
“We completely forgot about Blue.”
“Shit, okay you go have your shower and I will go check up on him and make sure that everything is going okay.” “Okay that sounds good.” I walk over to him and claim his lips one more time before I leave the room. As I walk down the hall I run into Lyrica. “Natalie oh my gosh, you’re back.” “Yeah it’s so good to see you Lyrica.” She seems to take in my appearance and smirks. “And it seems as though you have been quite busy since you got back.” I feel my cheeks redden with a slight blush as I drop my head to look at the floor. “Don’t feel ashamed honey, at least no one walk in on you.” I look at her in confusion before the answer hits me.
