Chapter 8: Found580Please respect copyright.PENANAprB7CA31N5
The drager is flying about 50 feet high. Samantha is slipping the drager notices and holds tightly onto Samantha.580Please respect copyright.PENANAdslmIXrml3
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANA3fDdKQMCJs
The people who took Samantha's mother saw her. "Look... the girl's over there." Said the helicopter pilot.580Please respect copyright.PENANAmeFe88giEX
The helicopter is then flown to the drager.580Please respect copyright.PENANAvx7AVb5CWx
The chopper/helicopter came up to the left side of the drager and took out a gun. Samantha is just not enjoying this.580Please respect copyright.PENANA14CkmFDONB
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAsoyV7F5WdW
He punched the man who saved him from imediate death. "Sorry but I can't let you take her." Said John.580Please respect copyright.PENANAChM9i2ZUWN
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAFBculqczHS
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAYB4rEcLnBd
John jumped off before it crashed and landed on the drager's tail.580Please respect copyright.PENANATTK6NrLdD2
The drager moved it tail side to side trying to get John to fall off its tail.580Please respect copyright.PENANAbn337kl417
It failed but let Samantha fall. "Nooo!" Said John. He let go and dived in action through midair.580Please respect copyright.PENANAL2o1W5f16U
"Aaaaaahhhh!" Samantha screamed. John caught her. He grabbed on a branch and rode it out like Tarzan.580Please respect copyright.PENANAqlcL9uF2Zg
"Yabadabadooo!" He went. They landed safely on to land. "Never yabadabadoo that again." Said Samantha. "OK" said John. They580Please respect copyright.PENANAAP8ZgRDgRd
Started walking farther away from the site where they got found.580Please respect copyright.PENANABY3otdXe1C
[Someplace elsewhere]580Please respect copyright.PENANAcdFe5Cr8UK
"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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAurint8spjN
The hq of the s.w.a.t. like group started to send out 2 choppers and 3 speeders/motorcycles.580Please respect copyright.PENANABFM7Q6yUZU
Chapter 9: The thing580Please respect copyright.PENANA29kIScuYIF
As Samantha and John walked in the forest a different gender of the Thing appeared inside Samantha's mind.580Please respect copyright.PENANAmMamGyEoIV
It appeared to be a type of specie of a supernatural creature.580Please respect copyright.PENANAQHIWEh5GGp
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANA5xgzpnYrIl
John didn't say anything, picked her up, and carried her.580Please respect copyright.PENANAT1fdX8c2s3
It has almost been 2 hours and John found another cave. He put Samantha down unaware that she is going through a lucid dream.580Please respect copyright.PENANAeWjA07HfI8
[In her mind of the dream]580Please respect copyright.PENANA11Ae7wbCjb
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAF5YuZNdDWL
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAOWl2TgSzu9
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANA1LE5L0kT59
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANARgkRIkny9w
The thing played another memory of hers. This time it's a recent memory.580Please respect copyright.PENANA7SjhApWhq3
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAviVV53uSiu
John fell and died from a high height.580Please respect copyright.PENANAuqIcX0U8Yq
Samantha was then shot by the group and the drager threw Samantha off its back. Samantha fell and she too died from height.580Please respect copyright.PENANAEvNfTCA17L
She awoke this time she really did.580Please respect copyright.PENANA1IZXISz3Ka
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAjZm9bTrFta
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.580Please respect copyright.PENANAvbHjfBbEW0
