Surprise (Natalie)

2025-03-14 18:57:05When I wake up I am immediately confused with my surroundings. Where are the trees? Am I dead? What’s the yellow stuff above me, where the sky should be? When I turn my head to the left I see Ash lying beside me, that’s when it hits me, I’m back in the tent. Ash must have picked me up and carried me back after I fell into unconsciousness.
As I move around I feel my body protesting against the movement, its screaming out in pain as I try and sit up. When I finally manage to sit up, I am able to search for my bow and quiver. At first I can’t see it because it is still dark outside, or maybe the sun is just starting to shot its rays of light upon this mountain range once again. As I twist my body around so I can see the other side of the tent, pain shots up my back causing me to cry out. Ash still doesn’t wake up; I guess he had a long day yesterday with all the fighting. Plus he would have had to carry me back yesterday. I wonder what time it was when we finally had killed the last of the monsters it felt like hours. As I gather my strength to move, I feel strong hands wrap around my waist and pull me back. Pain shots up my back causing me to get a splitting headache but I pretend that nothing is wrong I don’t want to ruin the moment. Finally Ash settles with my back pressed up against his warm chest, I can feel his warm breathe against the back of my neck, giving me goose bumps. “Ash.” I mumble “How did you get me back here?” “Shh...” is his response “Just give me a few minutes, I thought you were going to die.” Suddenly curious I role over and ask “Why would you think that?” He opens his eyes open and he looks right into my bright green eyes, with his deep brown ones “When the monster hit you, I felt the connection buzz for just a second and then I felt nothing. I ran straight over to you and when I saw you struggling to get to your feet, the connection started buzzing again. So I knew you were okay.” Wow, I guess while I was flying through the air I didn’t notice the disconnection. Well I guess he deserves a few minutes, so I close my eyes and allow myself to be overcome by Ash, his smell, his warmth, his strength and everything else that comes with him. When I reopen my eyes, I find Ash starring at me. “What are you doing?” I mumble. “Just looking at something beautiful.” “You must be looking in a mirror because I’m not beautiful” “No, it’s not you. It’s Natalie.” “Well who am I then?” “Some imposter that has taken over her body.” With that we both break into a fit of laughter that is only stopped when we hear footsteps coming towards us. The crunching of dry leaves under foot is unsettling. Who would be on the mountains at this time in the morning? Quickly we change clothes; well we just put jumpers on over the top of the clothes we had been wearing yesterday and climb out of the tent. The sun still hasn’t been able to penetrate through the clumps of leaves above us so it’s still extremely dark with only small patches of light that have been able to burst through the leaves. I glance around the small space and see a dark silhouette on the other side of the clearing. As if sensing that he or she has been seen, they gravitate closer, closing the large gap between us, and before I can react Alex comes crashing into me. The only thing that stops me from falling over is Alex because she had grabbed me and now has me in a tight bear hug. “Alex.” I screech “What are you doing here?” “I didn’t know where to find you or how to contact you so I came up here last night searching for you. It was only when I heard your fit of laughter that I found you.” “But Alex you know all the monsters are in this area so why did you risk your life to find us.” Slowly she releases her iron grip on me and takes a step back “It’s a long story, you two should probably sit down!” I steal a glance at Ash and see he is just as confused as I am. I wonder what is so important that made Alex actually search for us. “Make yourself comfortable this may take a while.” she says.

Alex makes sure we are all comfortable before she begins “Okay, well when the two of you left, I was looking at the stuff we had read on the internet and I accidentally click on a random website called ‘monsters’ at first I was thinking, this is just going to be about random monsters from movies, but it wasn’t.” She pauses as though the next part of the story is absolutely horrifying, but with a little squeeze to her knee from Ash, she is able to keep going. “It said Ma Vista’s are not really known in the world today, but long ago they were known all over the world as ‘people with sight.’ Today they are starting to lose the battle against monsters. With more people dying every year you would think that people would wonder why the percentage has gone up, but others just chose to ignore this factor.’Alex pauses again to catch her breath before continuing ‘Many people do not know this, even the reincarnated Ma Vista’s do not know this but ‘the monsters are the cause of human deaths and a

Once out in the fresh air, I take a deep breath and zone in on all my 5 senses, I feel the warm breeze blowing my hair back from my face, smell the freshness of nature, taste the small mint that is still left in my mouth, I hear all the birds singing in the trees, all the crickets making buzzing noises in the grass surrounding me, all the larger animals running around and snapping leaves and small branches with there feet and of course the leaves rustling over head, due to the wind. I see hundreds of tree trunks, grass covered with leaves and small branches that have fallen from the trees. It is also very gloomy because it is still quite early in the morning and the sunlight rains down in patches landing in certain spots. As I daydream Ash walks up behind me and puts one of his hands on my shoulder. Snapping me back to reality. “Let’s get moving, do we have everything we need?” I run off a checklist “Sword, Shield, Bow, Quiver, Knives, water and food, including fruit and Vegetables

I wake up to find that I am in someone’s arms, at first I think that Ash has found me, but I can tell by his deodorant that, that’s not the case. My body aches all over; it feels like I have broken every bone in my body. But at least I feel secure in who ever these arms belong too. So I drift back to sleep trying to get rid of the throbbing headache that now plagues me. When I wake up again, I am still in the stranger’s arms and he is still walking steadily, I feel slightly better this time. With only a small headache but my whole body is still on fire. And it flares up every time this guy takes a step. After what feels like an hour we arrive at a small clearing, in the clearing is a small tent, not much different from Ash’s and mine. He must sense that I am awake because he starts talking to me. “Hi, you’re lucky I found you, a few hours longer and you would have died.” His voice is smooth and light it almost most makes me go back to sleep. “You know, you could actually say

As it gets later and I still am unable to stand, Cooper asks me if I would prefer to stay with him or if I wanted to leave. “Staying with you is probably safer then going out there into the wild when I can hardly walk.” He nods his head in agreement. I glance up for the first time and actually look at him. He has bright orange hair, greyish-blue eyes and a small amount of freckles that dash across his cheeks, his hair is cut short like Ash’s but his fringe is shorter. He is lean and muscular, I should have figured that out when he said he carried me for three hours. He looks very athletic and is pretty attractive, he also has a nice personality and is very caring, and I immediately take a liking to him. Before we go to sleep Cooper moves the sleeping bag so I have my own room, he then puts all his luggage in the middle and makes himself a bed on the other side. Before I go to sleep I have to ask “Cooper?” “Yes.” he mumbles. “Why are you in the mountains?” “I came up here e

I was on my yearly hunt, but normally I would be with my family, except they died a few weeks ago. I don’t know what or how it happened I had just come home and they were all lying on the floor with pools of blood surrounding them. At first I had thought someone had murdered them but now I am not so sure. As I walk along a path my dad had made when we first started hunting, I find a rabbit trail that looks really fresh. I follow it through the woods until I see something that makes my insides freeze. There only three meters away from me lying on her back is a girl, her arms and legs going in many different angles. Slowly I walk towards the body, unsure whether she is alive or dead. As I get closer I am relieved to see a small rise and fall of the girls chest. What the hell is she doing here alone? When I am standing above her I look down at the girls face and I am struck with a strange emotion I have never felt before. But the girl lying before me is gorgeous; I have never seen any

“Natalie?” I say, trying to talk to her. “Yes, I was just thinking.” She says randomly, I chuckle at how stupid she just sounded. She roles over and winces from what I believe is pain. “We need to do something about your injuries are you comfortable enough with me to let me do it.” I ask she looks me in the eye and nods. As I check over her body I notice that she has a sprained ankle or twisted ankle and might also have a broken rib. She also has several bruises adorning her body, especially over her back. She ask me what time it was that I found her, but I have no idea what time that was because I didn’t have a watch so I just make it up. Her face seems to pale from the information I give her; I wonder how long she had been lying there before I had found her. “When I found you at the bottom of the hill, my first thought was that you were dead. Then I noticed that you were breathing, so I calmed down a bit then I started wondering what you were doing in the mountains, that

I cry out as I open my eyes, and I find myself in my own tent, sweat covering my body. That was the scariest nightmare I have ever had. I sit up and look over and find Natalie still sound asleep. I have to get out of here and go hunting before I freak myself out even more. I grab my gear for hunting and head out towards my dad’s hunting trail that he made before he died. Walking along I set up several traps so I have a high chance of catching something for Natalie and myself to eat. So I stumble through the woods which are still filled with darkness from the night before which causes me to remember my dream. I couldn’t stab Natalie not unless something had over powered me. Plus Natalie was wearing the same cloths in the dream, to what she is wearing now. She is just so beautiful I couldn’t imagine hurting her; I even hate seeing her in pain. As I walk back towards my camp and Natalie, I check the traps and what I find is a young deer. This is going to be great breakfast, I grab

Finding the bow and quiver had excited me and I wanted to get out here and find Ash and hope that he has also found his weapons so we can continue this war. I know I still have to relax my ankle and my back as well as my rib. So I will hopefully still be able to stay with Cooper for a day or two, the problem with that will be him asking questions, I can’t continue to lie to him, I have never been good with lies. I also fear growing to attach to him, which will cause a lot of problems as well. Sometimes I wish Cooper could see the monsters but I know he can’t. If he could that would mean he is the bad Ma Vista and he would have killed me while I was unconscious. So far this power I have is horrible and I could endanger a lot of people, especially the ones close to my heart, and I don’t want anything to happen to them. It’s an hour later and I smell something really good coming from outside, I also have not seen Cooper since the small incident that happened earlier; I hope he is no

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 Aidan (Natalie)
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.” As I go through all of
Nightmare The truth (Natalie)
This time my sleep is plagued by nightmares and dreams alike. But I only remember one dream, that still plagues my mind when I wake up. I cry out from shock as I am pulled out of the nightmare. My whole body is trembling and I am covered in sweat, which has drenched my clothing making them stick to my body. The image still haunts me, Ash calling out my name, his hand reaching down to grab my hand as I fall. Then suddenly the dream freezes and words appear in the sky in blood red writing. ‘There coming’ then it flickers ‘were coming, be ready.’ Then suddenly I am falling again, than just before I hit the ground it blacks out. That’s when I woke up. I lie there as still as possible, too scared to move. What if the dream was real? What if it was a warning? This dream makes me more motivated to speed up my recovery and find Ash, my adrenaline speeds up and I begin to feel restless. I have to find Ash but I will need Cooper’s help, which means I will have to tell him all the things he do
