Chapter 8: Found617Please respect copyright.PENANA3LQjFTraVA
The drager is flying about 50 feet high. Samantha is slipping the drager notices and holds tightly onto Samantha.617Please respect copyright.PENANAl3CiUr88Tu
An arrow came out of nowhere and hit the drager. The drager felt it and turned back. "Let go of her!" Said John. He got another arrow, loaded the bow, aimed and shot the arrow. It hit the drager. The drager then opened its mouth and shot out electric bolts to John. John quickly runs faster. He sees a log in his path. He then slides under it and quickly got back on his feet. He ran and he ran but couldn't catch up.617Please respect copyright.PENANA2sv8R7yn39
The people who took Samantha's mother saw her. "Look... the girl's over there." Said the helicopter pilot.617Please respect copyright.PENANAxoyeQiLf6f
The helicopter is then flown to the drager.617Please respect copyright.PENANAIUQ66cVaSG
The chopper/helicopter came up to the left side of the drager and took out a gun. Samantha is just not enjoying this.617Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4IIpMwh9k
Meanwhile back on the forest ground... John gets rope out from his backpack of camping supplies. He gets an arrow and ties the rope to it. He aims and fires the bow to the chopper. The rope makes it and wraps around the choppers landing legs. John is the in the air of the sky. "Maybe I didn't think this through." Says John to himself. A person noticed the rope and looked out to see what it was. Then he looked down and saw John. He pulled John up to safety.617Please respect copyright.PENANALJqcyaNhuw
He punched the man who saved him from imediate death. "Sorry but I can't let you take her." Said John.617Please respect copyright.PENANAs49T6S7uXh
John punched the man again and the man got knocked out. Another person walked up to John and started to attack John. One punch then two punches John dodged them and grabbed a fist. He then carried the man only to throw him off. John then grabbed the gun and shot the drager. The drager got dizzy and took off with the chopper behind it.617Please respect copyright.PENANAd91c70PflT
The drager is now in control of the chopper. It flew to the closest mountain and crashed the chopper into the rocky wall of the mountain.617Please respect copyright.PENANAxpFeOzfPjG
John jumped off before it crashed and landed on the drager's tail.617Please respect copyright.PENANAkHfnLk83K8
The drager moved it tail side to side trying to get John to fall off its tail.617Please respect copyright.PENANAJH8ezy4NNL
It failed but let Samantha fall. "Nooo!" Said John. He let go and dived in action through midair.617Please respect copyright.PENANATJ0nurTRwW
"Aaaaaahhhh!" Samantha screamed. John caught her. He grabbed on a branch and rode it out like Tarzan.617Please respect copyright.PENANA9yrt2b0fFy
"Yabadabadooo!" He went. They landed safely on to land. "Never yabadabadoo that again." Said Samantha. "OK" said John. They617Please respect copyright.PENANA4rnjuS3Ot2
Started walking farther away from the site where they got found.617Please respect copyright.PENANANNsS50VTLG
[Someplace elsewhere]617Please respect copyright.PENANAdhvskLGQSa
"We found the girl but she's not alone. We at least put a tracker on the girl but watch out. The person she is with a boy he is strong." Said a survivor from the choppers crash only to die in seconds after he spoke through his radio. "Whatever you do don't let the boy out of your sight." Said the survivor before he died.617Please respect copyright.PENANAeBN93SRXFj
The hq of the s.w.a.t. like group started to send out 2 choppers and 3 speeders/motorcycles.617Please respect copyright.PENANAUMSYvFQRuJ
Chapter 9: The thing617Please respect copyright.PENANAi9pF7P6Kk7
As Samantha and John walked in the forest a different gender of the Thing appeared inside Samantha's mind.617Please respect copyright.PENANA9kK5QNOx8y
It appeared to be a type of specie of a supernatural creature.617Please respect copyright.PENANAaoaKGCtoRv
The female thing gave Samantha a paralysis. She only went through it for few seconds. "Samantha are you ok?" Asked John. "Yes I'm ok" said Samantha. "Are you sure?" Asked John. Samantha was about to speak but the thing interrupted by giving her a longer paralysis. "No, I'm not. Can you carry me?" She asked.617Please respect copyright.PENANAKAuMmZ9m9M
John didn't say anything, picked her up, and carried her.617Please respect copyright.PENANAIfAuRdvPcM
It has almost been 2 hours and John found another cave. He put Samantha down unaware that she is going through a lucid dream.617Please respect copyright.PENANAnM5ZtOEER6
[In her mind of the dream]617Please respect copyright.PENANADKDjoT2wBh
She wakes up and goes through one of her memories when she was little. She plays the memory where her father walked out to hunt and kill something for her himself and her mother. The thing comes in and shows her what happened to her father.617Please respect copyright.PENANAAN4NUY70fL
The father found a bear in the forest awake eating its night snack from the river. He quickly took out a gun he stole from the s.w.a.t. like group.617Please respect copyright.PENANAdERstK3N76
He squinted down and started the hunt. He crawled and became stealthy or so he thought. There lied a gator out of the river behind him. It saw him and did the same as the father. It stood right behind him. The father felt something was watching him which something is watching him. The father looked back and saw the gator. He didn't scream but he did run. He unknowingly dropped the gun and started running. He stopped in the river when he noticed more gators in the river came after him. He turned back and saw the gator that came after him. He didn't know what to do after he realized he dropped the gun outside of the river. The gators then killed and ate him.617Please respect copyright.PENANARZ87srtyaL
The thing showed another memory to Samantha. "Mommy!" Shouted a young Samantha. Samantha's mother ran up to her daughter. "Samantha... whatever you do keep running keep hiding don't let them take you. Here take this miniature carved heart it will remind you of me and take this key too protect it with all your might. Don't let them take it. They're coming run..........RUN! Said Samantha's mother. Samantha ran and did what she was told.617Please respect copyright.PENANAV41AD90iXQ
The thing played another memory of hers. This time it's a recent memory.617Please respect copyright.PENANA0crRno6Vl1
She got caught from the drager and John came after her to save her. The group found her by one of there choppers. John managed to get up to the chopper but a member of the group pushed and thrown him down.617Please respect copyright.PENANA05OV6JF4B4
John fell and died from a high height.617Please respect copyright.PENANAKtXGnIuawd
Samantha was then shot by the group and the drager threw Samantha off its back. Samantha fell and she too died from height.617Please respect copyright.PENANAudeL0LLXE3
She awoke this time she really did.617Please respect copyright.PENANAjlCykuwcnl
She couldn't fall asleep through out the whole night. She's scared for herself, scared for John, and for what may happen in the future.617Please respect copyright.PENANABmYdBFDRjl
She held a face expressing fear,love, and sadness. She decided to rest against the side of the cave. Not to fall asleep but to keep a look out. Then she heard a whimper and then a growl in the darker side of the cave.617Please respect copyright.PENANAXIs6QCz7lo
