Soon after ,they heard the footstep approaching sound,"Turn off your flashlights," said Jenna ,she repeated, "Now," Everyone quickly turned off their flashlights and stayed quiet. The monster stopped in front of the cave and started sniffing, due to the darkness in the middle of the night ,they can't see how it looked like very clearly but they can tell that it is big ,and it is definitely not an ordinary wild animal.
The monster walked closer to the cave ,but just when it was about to get into the cave ,it suddenly stopped. It quickly turned around and started sniffing again, not long after ,the monster walked away.
"What's going on? Where did it go?" asked Jacob, "I don't know," answered Jenna. Not long after, She started walking out of the cave, "Jenna ,where are you going?" asked Darren.
Jenna replied, "The monster ,it left. Now is our chances to get out of this cave," Jacob disagreed, "Wait ,are you serious? The monster is still out there,"
Jenna answered, "And this is its lair. We might end up like these people if we keep on staying," Lyra agreed, "Yeah ,Jenna is right. The monster could come back here any time it wants. We should take our chances and leave now."
Jacob looked back down to the human skulls and the animal corpses ,he said,"Okay ,then I guess we go," Darren agreed, then Everyone slowly walked out of the cave ,they looked around. Luckily ,the monster is nowhere to be found.
Darren saw a dry tree branch on the ground. It's not too big to be hold, so he picked it up and take a look, "There's no sign of the monster ,let's go," said Jenna. Darren nodded and carried the tree branch with him as a weapon.
"I don't think that tree branch is gonna save us ,man," said Jacob, Darren answered, "Trust me ,It'll be useful,"
"So should we walk or should we run?" asked Jacob, Darren answered, "Let's walk for now ,we don't know what the monster is capable of. It could be anywhere ,it might hear us if we try to run," Jenna and Lyra agreed, "Darren's right. Let's walk for now," said Jenna.
They were heading to new direction, tried their best not to make any unnecessary noise. However ,not long after ,Jacob stepped on a stone ,he fell down on the ground, "Oh fuck!" shouted Jacob with fear, "Keep quiet," said Jenna, Suddenly they heard the monster roaring sound again. However ,this time unfortunately for them ,they heard a loud approaching sound coming from behind. The sound kept on getting louder and louder very fast ,In a brief moment ,they didn't know what to do and just a second after ,the monster showed up right behind them. They turned around and saw it. They gasped.
The monster looked like it is made of trees. It has sharp and scary claws ,big hand ,and a terrifying mouth full with sharp teeths. It is looked to be as tall as a giraffe but bigger ,it standed on two legs ,and it is walking in circle around the group of teenagers ,it behaved like how predators analyze their prays before attacking.
"Fuck! What the hell is this thing?" said Jacob. He frozed, "Holy shit! What should we do?" Lyra was shocked ,even Jenna is.
"Wha's it doing? Shouldn't we be running?" asked Jacob, Jenna answered, "No ,it's analyzing us. If we run ,it'll definitely attack," "Then what the hell should we do?" asked Lyra with fear.
"Everybody stay back," said Darren. Darren hold the branch he picked up earlier steady ,and took a lighter out of his pocket. "Fire? Dude ,that's a genius idea," said Jacob. Darren lighted the branch on fire, as soon as Darren lighted the branch, the monster started to be more aggressive. It screamed loud ,and start attacking them with its scary claws.
Darren used the fire branch as his weapon ,he used it to fight the monster ,and it worked quite well. The monster still tried to attack Darren ,but it also try to avoid the fire at the same time. Unfortunately ,after doing this for a while ,the monster was able to use its hand to grab the fire branch and throw it away ,leaving Darren defenseless. However, luckily for them, when it did that ,the fire passed on to the monster, causing its arm to go on fire. The monster screamed ,it moved its arm back in forth ,smashes its arm on the ground ,trying its best to get rid of the fire.
Once Jenna saw that ,she quickly ran to grab the fire branch on the ground ,but unfortunately for her, the fire ran out just the moment she reached it, and at the same time, the monster already got rid of the fire on its arm. The monster scream again, before quickly ran to Jenna and smashes. Right now ,there was nothing anyone could have done. Jenna use her arm to cover her face ,turned away ,and closed her eyes.
Just when the monster was about to hit Jenna, the monster was pushed backwards for nearly 3 meters to the back by something ,something invisible. Once Jenna knew something happened, she slowly opened her eyes. Soon after ,someone jumped down from a tree on top of them. He slowly fell down to ground without causing any damage.
The person was a man ,he looked quite old but also strong. He looked to be more than 50 years old ,wore white hooded clothes. Also he looks clean and wise ,"I got it. Don't worry," said the man.
The monster rushed toward the man ,but he remained calm ,the man used his bare hand to push the monster backwards. Without even touching the monster ,he was able to push it far back. The man use his bare hand to gather leaves ,and rocks on the ground. Without even touching them, the man made them float. A second after ,he threw them right in the face of the monster. However, the monster wasn't really hurt by the attack, it continued to rush toward the man.
The man then summon a sword out of nowhere, held it in his right hand ,and ran toward to fight the monster.
Once everyone saw that, they started to have hope again.
"Who's that guy?" asked Lyra, "I don't know," replied Jenna. Darren guessed, "He looks like some kind of wizard?" "Yeah ,dude. Don't you see? He summoned a sword out of thin air ,and he use magic to fight the monster," said Jacob.
"I didn't think wizards were real," said Jenna, Darren added, "I didn't even think monsters were real," Jacob spoke, "I think at this point ,everything is real. Who knows? Maybe aliens ,dragons ,or even another dimension exists," "That's crazy," said Lyra.
The man in white hood used his sword to fight the monster. He cut off the monster's hand, jumped ,and punched the monster in the face, "Holy shit! He's kicking that tree monster's ass," said Jacob, "Cool," said Lyra. Not long after ,he cut off its leg ,and jumped again to cut off its head. The monster was quickly slayed by the man. It is now dead. Soon after that ,the sword the man summoned dissapeared.
"That's what I'm talking about! That was awesome ,man. Whoo ,take that ,monster," said Jacob. Everyone quickly walked to the man, "Thank you," said Jenna.
"It was my pleasure," replied the man. "Who are you?" asked Jenna, the man replied, "My name is Edward Envylos Luxe, and I'm not from this dimension."
"What? Uh ,What do you mean? What other dimensions are there?" asked Lyra, "I'll tell you everything I know ,but first we need to get you all to safety," replied the man.
"What was that monster?" asked Darren, the man answered, "We called it Wendozimox, it is a monster from my dimension,"
"Woah, we're talking about a whole new dimension beyond ours. That's insane," said Jacob.
The wizard summoned a small knife out of no where once again, just this time it was a small knife instead of a sword. He then use his knife to make an incision ,an incision on the air.
"I'm sorry, but uh, if you don't mind me asking. What are you doing?" asked Jacob,"I'm taking you to a safe place ,my dimension ,my home."
Everyone gasped by what the wizard was doing. The air started to split in halves ,and soon it was big enough for human to fit it, It looked like a normal incision except it is on the air, "Oh my God ,I can't believe we're about to get into a whole new dimension," said Jacob. He gasped ,everyone gasped.
"All right ,all you have to do now is to walk into the portal," said Edward, Jenna answered, "Okay, so uh, who will go first?" "I'll go," said Darren. He walked closer to the portal ,but just before he gets in ,he turned back and give Jenna his hand.
Jenna nodded ,she quickly grabbed Darren's hand ,and then they both walked into the portal, "Okay, I guess I'll go next," said Lyra ,she walked in. Jacob was the last to get in ,"So I guess I just walk in ,nothing else?" asked Jacob, "Yes," replied Edward ,the wizard ,he walked in and then the wizard followed.
Everyone opened their eyes in a whole new dimension, it was day time in this dimension, so they can see things clearly. They looked around. There were many trees ,plants ,and even fogs. There was plenty of snow on the ground, It was extremely cold here, the trees looked similar to the trees in their world, but it was a lot taller. They even saw a wild animal here. However ,it wasn't a normal animal they ever saw on their world. This animal they saw ,it looked like a fury white fox ,except it is glowing ,and it is very beautiful.
"Holy shit! This place looks like a fairy tales," said Jacob. Lyra added, "Indeed ,this doesn't look real. It looks beautiful."
The fox they saw before climbed onto a tree, it climbed high up ,but then suddenly there was a mouth open on the side of the tree. It quickly ate the fox ,the mouth then turned into a shape ,changed color ,and soon the whole body showed up. It looked like a flat salamander. It was deguised in the color and the stripes of the tree ,making it nearly invisible to the eye. It was camauflaging.
"It's called Unthuona ,we had a lot on our worlds," said Edward, "Had?" asked Darren. The wizard answered ,"They were slaughtered ,not many shows up these days."
"What about the white fox?" asked Lyra. The wizard answered, "They're called Exerzuolus. Beautiful ,aren't they?"
Suddenly ,they heard a sobbing sound near them. It was Jenna ,she was crying, "What's wrong?" asked Darren, Jenna answered, "This is all my fault. Stacy's death ,Emma ,I've gotten all of you into danger ,I'm sorry."
Lyra replied ,"Hey ,it's not your fault. Okay? Don't blame yourself up over that," Darren added, "Yeah right ,none of this is your fault."
"Your sister ,Emma. What about her? What happened to her?" asked Jacob.
"Yesterday ,I was walking back home by the woods with my sister ,Emma. We were just talking ,we were happy ,but then suddenly she started looking into the woods, she said 'Grandma?', I asked her what's wrong ,she didn't respond and quickly ran into the woods. As a sister, I was very worried, I ran after her ,but she's really fast ,I couldn't caught up with her. Not long after ,I lost her." told Jenna.
"Well ,she must have saw your grandma in the woods ,so she ran," said Darren. Jenna explained, "How? My grandma is dead. She die a year ago."
"So you've known something was off since?" asked Jacob, "Yeah," replied Jenna, "Wait ,You never wanted to go camping in the woods ,do you? It was your plan all along ,invite us? You just want us to help you find your sister," said Jacob, Jenna replied, "I didn't know it was going to be dangerous ,I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I'm just saying," said Jacob,
"Hey hey ,it's okay. Alright? You lost your sister we get it ,and we're gonna help you find her ,alright?" said Darren, "No. She's dead ,I found her necklace in the cave."
"That doesn't necessarily mean she is dead ,she might still be alive. She might still be out there." said Darren.
"Yeah ,right," said Jenna , She sighed and stood up, "Follow me," said the wizard.
"I hate to say this ,but is anybody cold? I'm freezing here," said Jacob, "Yeah ,it is cold," added Lyra. Suddenly, a sweater popped up of nowhere, and covered everyone. It was Edward ,he summoned them, "Better?" asked the Wizard, Jacob answered, "Yeah ,thank you."
As they continue to followed the wizard, wind started flowing from the front side. Edward ,the wizard suddenly stopped walking and looked around, "What's wrong?" asked Darren, "Someone is here! Take cover," said Edward ,the wizard.
Everybody started looking around ,but there's still no sign of anyone. Suddenly ,the wizard stopped looking ,he closed his eyes ,and summoned a pack of arrows in front of him. The arrows went straight to the front, but they quickly got deflected to the trees around then. Suddenly ,someone in black suit walked out from the air.
