i can hear you but cant see you .

arent you back ?

where are you ?

no .

i said frustrated , now tell us how you got back .

he closed his eyes and sat down .

i imagined myself in my body , and what is was like to be back .

and then i was back to normal .

wait .

the wind picked up around him and then suddenly he was back , blue hair and all , standing beside his sitting , normal body .

wow how did you do that ?

emily gasped .

i imagined what it was like to fight that creature .

and then my body took over .

he explained , but i dont think he even understood .

then he was gone again and the real seth stood up .

try it .

i closed my eyes and thought of school and all of ms. stechers homework that i needed to do .

then my body was doing the rest .

i felt hot and cold , as the winds seemed to pick up .

i shivered and opened my eyes .

i was lying on the ground .

my hair brown hair flopped in my face as i sat up , seeing emily dash over to me .

seconds later jason walked through the trees , rubbing his face .

seth grinned at all of us ; we were back .

thats how it all started .

i dont know how we got the gift to become these different people , but we did .

thats the mystery and hopefully well solve it one day .

we were chosen for some unknown reason , but that reason doesnt matter .

all that matters is that we protect this town .

jasons eyes flashed .

i stood up and leaned over to him .

what jason ?

monsters , a whole bunch of them .

i saw the movement near the pond .

he pointed to the pond that was just nestled in the woods .

and with that , we were off .

running towards the pond to do what we do best , destroy monsters .

only this time it was different .

chapter 2 we ran and ducked behind a large boulder , huddling together .

we all sat down , closed our eyes , and concentrated .

i felt a shiver run through my body as i left it and entered my hunter form .

i followed emily , jason , and seth as we crept silently over to the monsters , splitting up to surround them .

i counted two thrashers , which surprised me .

i swear we saw more before .

the thrasher turned before we could execute a surprise attack .

seth marched over , swinging his sword .

jason threw knives calmly at the other monster while emily casted fire by his side .

i , however , was jumped on by something entirely new .

they were small and stubby , the size of dwarfs or gnomes .

their skin was shriveled and grey , and hung off their bodies like cold clothing .

their eyes were a bright yellow that matching their teeth and their fingers looked like gnarly old trees .

and the smell ; it was awful .

they grabbed my feet , back and tugged at my hair .

why does everything always happen to me ?

i complained .

no one heard me .

the ugly creatures continued tugging at me like annoying two year old , which made me get really annoyed .

get off me ugly looking toad dwarfs .

hey , thats what ill call you , toad dwarfs .

i smiled at my quick thinking .

i could be clever sometimes .

take that seth .

silly girl , were already called toad dwarfs .

the one on my leg croaked .

aw darn , never mind then .

so much for being clever .

the one on my back grabbed my hair .

he yanked it back .

ow !

it may be green but i still value it !

i grumbled , trying to pull my head free .

i also had no desire to be bald at 16 .

hes rising , hes rising !

the dwarf said excitedly .

his voice cracked at the last word .

who the heck is rising and why does it require pulling my hair out !

i snapped .

hes rising , hes rising !

he repeated , full of crazed excitement .

i swear i could feel him shaking from exhilaration .

whatever , youre now an official maniac .

i pulled out my hunting knife .

maniacs get destroyed by me .

no maniacs are allowed to exist except for me and emily .

he jumped off as i stabbed the one on my arm .

i grabbed my bow and shot him with an arrow before he his little legs could he him very far .

he fell to the ground , the arrow sticking straight up at the sky .

now the forest was maniac free .

i killed the others and looked up to find the thrashers dead too , probably courtesy of seth .

a few dwarfs were also lying dead in front of emily .

i walked back to my body and closed my eyes .

when i reopened them , i stood , stretching my legs .

the four of us headed back to the restaurant together , adrenaline still pumping through my veins .

i told emily and the boys about the freaky dwarves .

crazy right ?

i asked , running a hand through my hair .

no one said anything and emily produced a pencil out of her bag .

i need a piece of paper , jazell .

i ripped one out of my notebook and handed it to her .
