say.
I don't hear a reply. I look up at the guy. He nods.
I take the tissue from him and wipe my face. The guy takes out a small note-pad and starts writing in it. He shows it to me. It reads: You need to come with me. NOW.

I stare at the note. Some seconds tick by. Finally I say, "So where to?"


I'm following a guy I barely know. But he seems like someone that I can trust. I look at him. He suddenly stops walking. "What?' I ask. The guy quickly gets out his note-pad and scribbles something down. He flips it over for me to see. You have to be careful.

I nod. We start walking some more. It's really dark now and I suddenly wish it was morning.
I keep on replaying what happened today. My best friend's death. And my sister's death. Two people died in one day. I push the thought out of my mind and focus on what's happening now.
The boy ducks under something and suddenly I can't see him. I look around. No one is following us. I turn and duck under what seemed like a log. Bright light burns my eyes and I squint. "So this is the girl you saved?" It sounds like a guy's voice. I force my eyes open and I see five people. Three guys and two girls. They all seem to be around my age, except for the guy wearing all brown. He seemed to be at least two years older. The guy that I followed writes something in his note-pad and shows it to me. Welcome.

"So what's your name?" asks the guy wearing all brown. I stare at the ground, then at him. "Lynn." I say. "Lynn? Well I'm Cage and the fellow that brought you here's Kade." I nod. The two girls both smile at me. "I'm Natalie." the blonde one says. "And I'm Ella." says the brunette one. I look over at the last guy. He's sitting by him-self and catches me looking at him. "Oh, and that's Daimon. He's really quiet." says Natalie. I look at everyone.
"So what's your story?" asks Cage. Everyone is looking at me now.
I lower my eyes to the ground and stare at everyone's feet.
"Well..I have no parents,... and I lost two very important people today." I whisper. Silence. I look up to find everyone looking at the ground.
"Everyone here lost someone." says Cage a few moments later. Then it's quiet again.
"Aw man! The soup is leaking!" cries Natalie, breaking the awkward silence. I watch her walk over to a stove made out of rocks. The smell of roast beef makes my stomach gurgle.
"Everyone eat now. And we'll go hunting tomorrow." says Cage. He walks over to Natalie.
I look at Kade. He's writing something down on his note-pad. I walk over to him. He pushes the note-pad to me. Do you want to hunt with us tomorrow?


"Hunting what?" I ask. Kade scribbles down something and shows it to me. Animals. You know for food.


"Ah." I nod. I feel stupid for asking that now.
"Dinner's ready now!" calls Natalie. My stomach starts growling. Kade smiles. Natalie makes the best beef soup. We only have it once a month since beef is hard to find.

I nod.


Just as Kade said, the soup is the best thing I ever tasted! It's even better than the sausage from earlier today. Then something inside of me dies. Daisy and Ina aren't here to eat this. My vision suddenly blurs and I turn away from the soup. I really miss them.
I feel soft cloth touching my cheek. Kade's sitting next to me. It's ok.

He writes. I take the tissue from him and smile. "Thanks." He nods and looks at me again before going back to eating the soup.
"Everyone! How's my cooking skills?" asks Natalie. She looks over at me. "It's really good." I say, smiling hoping my face isn't swollen. She smiles. "Everyone eat up for energy!" she announces. My insides flip at thought of hunting. As if on cue, Kade writes don't worry on the note-pad. Sighing, I look up at the patched up ceiling. Please make tomorrow safe.

Phase 4




I wake up to find my-self on the ground, with a huge fur blanket over me. I rub my head. Looking around, I see that everyone is gone. I start to panic. Did they leave me?

The monster boy comes into my mind. I shake my head, driving the thought out.
I stretch my legs and stand. There's a bowl of water on the wooden table. I walk over and take a sip. "So you're awake?" asks a voice. I jump to find Ella, the brunette girl from yesterday, standing by the entrance. "Yea. So where are the others?" I ask. "They're hunting already. Come on. Cage told me to bring you to our hunting spot." she says. I take a huge gulp of the water and follow Ella out into the open.

"Now, you have to be careful around here. There's a tiger living in that cave." says Ella. She points to a small cave covered by leaves. I nod. We walk some more and suddenly Ella stops walking. I look at her. She's frozen staring at a watch. "This can't be happening." she mutters. "What is it?" I ask. Ella takes a step back. "Our target is here." she whispers. I watch her pull out a small bayonet.
Suddenly I see blood splattered on the ground. I hear Ella screaming. "Ella!" I shout. She's on the ground clutching her arm. "Something just cut me." she says. We both look around the tall oak trees. Nothing in sight. "Wait. Where's my bayonet?" cries Ella. I look around for her knife. Then I hear her scream again. "Ella!" I turn to face her. I see her on the ground with her whole arm cut off. Blood's spurting out and darkening the ground. "Ella. What did this to you?" I ask franticly. "It's the thing that killed my mother." she whispers. I quickly rip off a piece of my shirt and tie it around the stump of Ella's arm. A rustling sound comes from the bushes. "Is it the tiger?" I ask. Ella doesn't say anything. I wrap my arms around her. "C'mon. We're leaving this place." She weakly nods. I help her up to her feet and turn back.
I stop when I see the tiger. It's fur is bloody and it's eyes are filled with hunger. "Wait. I can fight it off." I hear Ella saying softly. "No. You're hurt. I'll go and kill it." I say. I take a step toward the tiger. My heart is racing and then my whole body's frozen in place. I can hear Ella calling my name. I hear her scream and then silence. The tiger leaps towards me but I feel a cool breeze and then the tiger explodes. Red long pieces of tiger meat and guts fall to the ground. I look to see that it's the monster boy. Something slimy and wet lands on my shoulder but I ignore it. I concentrate on the monster boy. He smiles at me. "I saved you from it." he says. His voice is slightly raspy. I build up my courage. "Why do you keep on following me?" I ask. My voice sounds all shaky. There's silence. My eyes travel to Ella's bloody body then back at his inhuman green lizard eyes. He laughs. His laugh echoes through the woods. He goes close to me. "Because I want to eat you." he whispers. "Then eat me right now." I say harshly. I immediately wish that I hadn't said that. The monster boy cocks his head to one side and touches my shoulder. My whole body turns cold. He lifts up the thing that landed on my shoulder. It's the tiger's heart. He dangles it in the air and plops it into his mouth. I see blood dripping from his mouth. I stare at the monster boy. The boy who killed my little sister and my best friend.
"Lynn!" shouts a voice. "I'm here!" I shout. Suddenly, the monster boy grabs my arm. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt. "I still have to eat you." he says. I look over at Ella's lifeless body. Monster boy looks at Ella too. He lets go of my arm and walks over to Ella. I turn away as he starts to eat her. Why didn't he eat me?

"Ella! Lynn!" says a voice. It's Cage. He stops and stares at Ella's body. "Who did this?" he asks. I turn back to the monster boy except he isn't there. Kade is behind Cage. He runs over to me and checks to see if I'm hurt. "I'm fine, but Ella." I say. "It's ok, we'll just leave her here. We already lost six people. Now seven." says Cage. He turns around and starts walking away. Kade puts his arm around me. Let's go back.

He writes. I nod. I look back at Ella's body as we walk away. "We're just going to leave her there?" I ask. Yes. We need to so the Hybrid can feed on her some more.

Kade shows the pad to me. "What's the Hybrid?" I ask. The thing that killed her.

I suddenly get it. It's monster boy. He's the Hybrid. I look at Kade then at Cage. Will they leave me when I die too?



Phase 5




I follow Cage and Kade back to the hideout. Cage slams his knife onto the ground and walks away.
Natalie suddenly pops into the hideout with Daimon tagging along by her. "So! What did you and Ella catch?" she asks cheerfully. Kade shifts uncomfortably and looks away. I just stare at the ground.
"What happened to Ella?" Natalie asks, this time her voice is quiet. "She's-" I start. But Daimon grabs my wrist. "Why didn't you protect her?" he asks. His voice is cold. "I tried." I say. My eyes are starting to blur. "I'm sorry." I whisper. Kade walks over and I can feel his hand on my shoulder.
Daimon walks out and Natalie walks over to me. "Ella was Daimon's sister." she whispers. "You did nothing wrong." Natalie adds. She smiles at me and then says, "I'm gonna go cheer up Daimon." I watch as Natalie walks out. "She's like sunshine." I
