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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
