Chapter 6-memories Now that I think about it, I heard about the hyenas before from my Mom and Dad. It was when I was about eight years old, and I came out of bed to ask Mom for a bedtime story. Mom and Dad were talking with a man with a Mojawk, and my sister, so I hid behind a corner."And when do you believe this will happen again?" Dad asked a man with a black Mohawk. "I believe they will come in about eight years, it is to far away to pin point the correct date and time yet." "And Dr. Hill, is it?" my sister, Sophie asked. "Yes, my name is Dr. Hill, your theory may have saved mankind, Sophie" the man replied. My sister, Sophie, was only fifteen at the time, but she was a genius. She came up with the theory of the dogs coming. At the time, I didn't care about what they were talking about, so I came into the room."Mommy?" I asked,"can I have a bedtime story?" The conversation stopped immediately, but if I didn't interrupt, I would have learned the connection between numbers and the hyenas.And that information would have come in handy.
am I still alive? Cause you know, I knew about what was gonna happen I probably got prepared and survived
Chapter 7- argument We learned that Emma was a big chatterbox as we walked. " Hey Ellysa, where are you from?" She asked. " Doesn't matter anymore" I replied. "Oo and guess what Ellysa? I saw another hyena thing today, I hid, so it didn't come after me," She said. "mmm," I said. We had seen the hyenas everywhere now. We saw about five a day. " Ellysa, whats your number?" Emma asked. "2, why?" I replied. I was not in the mood for talking.And plus, the number 2 was printed all over me from my necklace to my shoes with a customized 2 on them. "My number is 76, nothing special," she replied. I really wanted to dump her in the middle of no where. She was getting on my nerves, but she was only twelve and we should never abandon a human life, especially under the circumstances. " Emma, just shut up already!" Forest moaned. "Make me!" Emma said back, out of the days that I've been with her, I could obviously tell she disliked Forest. "I will!" Forest said. "No you won't," Emma replied cooly. "Yeah I will!" Forest said as he grabbed her neck. "Oh no you won't!" Emma grabbed Forests neck and started kicking him. Then Forest started kicking her back. "Stop it already!" I yelled. Forest and Emma gave me a hateful glare and backed away from each other. "God, I have enough to deal with already," I said. Then Emma ran away.
We followed Emma as she ran. She was very quick and agile so we had trouble keeping up, at least I did. Forest was as quick and agile as Emma. We ran past a couple buildings before we saw the hyenas. There were three of them, scavenging a pile of rubble. Emma stopped running when she saw them. She was shivering. We ran up to her. "We better run" Forest said to her. Then we were running, the three of us together. The hyenas had spotted us and was running towards us. Then, Forest tripped. He tried to get up, but he fell again. "Run ahead!" He yelled. "No I won't" I yelled back as I picked him up. I started to run again, the hyenas were right on our tail, seriously they were about a yard away. Then Emma stopped and jumped on one," Go on ahead!" she yelled. I hid in a building and peered out the window. Emma was trying to kill the thing with her own two hands. Then, as if in slow motion, the other hyenas dragged her off the hyena and out of sight.
Chapter 9- Time After Emma was dragged off, I started to cry. I had wanted to get rid of her, and she threw herself at death to save me. I felt so cruel. I should've saved her, and now she's dead. "Ellysa, don't cry," Forest said softly. "No! Shes gone! She's gone and it's my fault!" I said. Then, Forest kissed me for the first time, time seemed to stop. It wasn't like other guys I had kissed before, he was special. I finally admitted it to myself, I love Forest. "There, do you feel better?" Forest asked. I nodded. I did feel better, a whole lot better. "Well, we should probably get going then," He said. "Forest, do you love me?" I asked him. "Of course I do, I've loved you from the second I opened that closet door," He replied. "I think it's time then," I said. He smiled.
