I jerk awake suddenly as the chill in the breeze wakes me causing shivers to run through me. I lift my head slowly and realise that it is eerily silent. No insect voices carry on the air, and there isn’t a single sound of battle in the distance. Sadness fills me as I wonder if now all my friends are gone, because again I have abandoned them. I’d been able to see the light through the darkness but it hadn’t been able to stop me from plunging straight into the unknown.

Suddenly I hear footsteps racing along the bitumen, then as it gets closer I can hear there heavy breathing. I lay there paralysed waiting for the master to round the corner and slaughter me just like the rest of my friends. But instead I see the dark black hair of someone familiar. The deep brown eyes that stare at me with sorrow and concern confuse me.

    I jerk awake suddenly as the chill in the breeze wakes me causing shivers to run through me. I lift my head slowly and realise that it is eerily silent.

  • Nightmare   Angry with myself (Cooper)

    Flash backs of holding the bow and pointing it at Natalie continue to flash through my mind as I round the corner away from the fighting. Sadness and dismay fills my heart as realisation takes over, I could have just killed Natalie. That though echoes inside my head as I continue to run away. The devastation of what I’ve done propelling me forward and further away from everyone I’ve come to love. Finally the emotions take hold of me and I collapse to the ground. How could I do that, I thought I had more control over myself after the master tried to manipulate me. But I guess I was wrong again. Again I was not strong enough for Natalie and I have failed her. Darkness and anger fill me overwhelming the sadness that recently filled my heart. Anger courses through my veins, this is all the master’s fault. Though I know that I played a major part in it, the master is the person who caused this. The rough bitumen scratches my back as I fell my blood becoming controlled by the anger. Image

  • Nightmare   Final showdown (Natalie)

    Adrenaline courses through me as I take down monster after monster. The numbers seem never ending, but we keep fighting, blood that is mostly not mine stains my clothes and my skin. Sweat pours down my skin blending with the sticky blood and dirt that covers me. Ash seems to be in the same predicament, though he seems to have a lot more sweat covering him. His white shirt is practically see through except for the blood that stains large areas of it. We must fight for hours but the sun seems not to move from its position in the sky. Ash and I beginning to tier when there is a loud battle cry from down the end of the street. Glancing up I notice that Alex is at the front of the group of people. Her tear stained cheeks and puff swollen eyes are the only reminder of what she just faced moments ago. She holds a sword in her right hand and a shield is on the other. Lyrica and Cooper stand on either side of her, and the rest of the group are spread behind. Rage seems to pour of Alex as she

  • Nightmare   Trying to convince the monsters (Natalie)

    The next few minutes are fuelled by anger and a new form of hope. The master doesn’t appear to be with them, I keep searching for him with my head but I am unable to find him, whether that is because he doesn’t want to be found or he is incapacitated from something I don’t know but I keep fighting. Monsters charge forward whether because that is the masters orders or because they want to I don’t know but they keep coming. I can hear Ash grunting and the clashing of his sword when it meets monsters claws. The blood has started to cover not just my clothing but the bitumen as well. But there is nothing that will stop this renewed belief. As we fight I notice that the ground has started shaking again, Ash and I both look up suddenly distracted by the sudden commotion. There is suddenly a loud roar from down the road and I see Black and Blue leading at least one hundred monsters in a charge towards the monsters that surround us. The monsters stop fighting and look at their brothers that

  • Nightmare   For Aaron (Natalie)

    I hear the bow hit the ground but I can't do anything except stare at Nicks lifeless body. To think that I've come all this way, and I actually killed a human being. A sense of dread takes hold of me and I wonder what it would be like in the minds of those that actually murder for fun. Alex is laying on top of Aaron who I was too late to save. Ash is looking at me, gauging my reaction. But all I can do is stare at Nick, a consuming feeling of guilt crashes through me. I could have prevented all this if I'd just killed the master while I was in his brain. I know it would have killed me but at least I would be the only one that’s dead. Now two innocent boys are dead because of me. If I had been that second earlier I could have shoot him in the arm or something. Through my mental torment I finally succumb to the exhaustion and collapsed to the ground. I hear Ash call out my name, but I'm too tired, to tired to care anymore and quite frankly to tired to move. His footsteps echo down the

  • Nightmare   Aaron (Alexandria)

    This will be our final battle, one last chance to fight of Natalie on her path to defeat the master. Aaron turns to see Nick racing towards us, in his hands he gripped the hilt of the sword tightly. Not far behind him was Ash, blood dribbled from what appeared to be a shallow cut from the top of his head. Ash is waving his hands around telling us to run, to move. He reaches for his last throwing knife but Nick has already reached us. Aaron takes the first hit with his shield that he had managed to bring with him during the whole escape. “Nick!” I scream, the fear and panic rising the frequency of my voice as it cracks. “You have to stop, it’s me. What is mum and dad going to think?” Nick has the sword raised above his head ready to bring it down on Aaron’s shield. His hesitation has allowed Ash to catch back up and he now has his sword drawn ready to fight again. Nick looks back at Ash before a sly smile appears across his mouth, “Come for round two have you Samuel’s?” Ash’s b

  • Nightmare   This is the end! (Alexandria)

    The stars seem to be shinning brightly as night falls and the animals and insects of the night seem to come alive as darkness falls. At the end of the street I see movement, and I hear a loud grunt from over where Nick was tied. Suddenly there is a loud tearing noise, and then a loud scream. “Alex!” I hear Ash’s voice from down the street; I turn to where Nick was originally sitting and see the space vacant. Worry begins to build in my gut, and I see Ash come sprinting up the street. "ALEX MOVE!" On instinct I move, I slide to the left just as an arrow flies through the space that I had just vacated. My mouth drops open as I see Nick holding the bow. Why would he be shooting at me? For a second Nick seems to realise what he had done, but the spark of recognition in his eyes quickly fades. He grabs another arrow and aims it at me again. "Alex you belong to me, if I can't have you no one can." I look at Nick with confusion "But you’re my brother, I will always love you. But yo

  • Nightmare   Telling Aaron (Alexandria)

    Chapter 34 Heartbreak (Alexandria) My mind was racing, two traitors and I knew who they were. I couldn’t believe that my brother would do that to me but then again he probably didn’t get given a choice. He should be stronger, but he has always had a weak heart when it came to fighting for what he believed in. He always found it easy to overlook the small aspects and only believe in what he believed in and obviously he had lost faith in Natalie. For him to be so easily manipulated, there must be something that the master has offered to give him in return for his service. But I don’t know what that could be, but it obviously has something to do with Aaron, or the fact that Aaron would no longer be in his road. I turn to Aaron; darkness has started to filter across the sky, as night comes upon us. And everyone on the street has started following the floating Nick, which the monster is holding on to. It seems that nearly everyone has forgotten that Natalie and Ash aren’t with us right

  • Nightmare   Natalie’s plan (Aaron)

    Alex opens her mouth to say or ask something but Ash just nods his head, without her even voicing her question. He continues walking but he doesn’t look sad. He looks like he is on a mission. He looks at Lyrica and she seems to understand a relieved look filters across her face for a split second, allowing anyone that saw it as a sense of relief. She quickly recovers before saying “Everyone, we must retreat. We will go to the south, follow me. Everything will be fine” Ash continues to walk the other way; he glances back at me once and nods his head. A relieved smile filtering across his face before it disappears and he looks away. This leaves us with just one problem. We can’t see the monsters and that means the ones that are helping us are now useless. Suddenly Nick is lifted off the ground by some invisible force, and carried towards Lyrica. Lyrica looks at Nick with something that resembles hatred before nodding to the monster. The monster seems to wave Nick in the air, like
