The Hunter's Dark Secret, Ninirockz [classic books for 7th graders TXT] 📗

I clawed his hands out, he was no longer laughing. I think I gave him the scariest look ever because he backed away. Strangely I could no longer feel my hair touching my ears. I pushed the creature so hard he slammed into the wall. He froze then slowly fell down rubbing against the wall. The wall was dented from the impact of him. It wall was streaked with red blood. I felt a sudden emancipated feeling, I felt like laughing. The triumphant feeling feels so good. I glared at the others who were scared. But I hadn’t let them go; I took 2 of them by their cloak and slammed them towards the wall they ended up the same way as their leader. The other 2, scared to their wits disappeared with a poof. The same feeling of triumphant filled my heart. I turned to their leader who was lifeless, his body propped against the wall. His head was bobbing downwards. The red medallion glistened on his chest. I looked at it with hungry eyes. I walked towards it and yanked it. The ruby was beautiful and it felt hot in my palms. It was mine now. When I looked up all of them were gone no trace expect for the blood that was sticking to the wall. I looked at the door someone was watching, it was Annabelle and Jason. Oh guys! The blazing feeling in my heart died away. I walked up to them smiling ready to hug but they backed away grimacing. I froze what the matter? Their mouth fell open. Did you just see what you did? Jason finally said incredulously. I raised my eyebrows then looked back. That? I asked. I then laughed their fairly weak. Annabelle looked frightened, how could you do that did you see yourself? She squeaked. Annabelle I said, what are you talking about? I simply just pushed them. You killed them Annabelle hissed, she was in the verge of crying. There was a long silence after she said that. They were going to kill me! I exclaimed. But you killed them you could’ve done something else Annabelle protested. I looked at her flabbergasted, and then narrowed my eyes. At least I didn’t leave my friend to die with 5 scary creatures! Who said I left? Annabelle looked hurt. Right after those people came in I jumped off the damn tree and ran into the house. She didn’t even tell me what had happen Jason said, she just cried and ran to the house. I followed her of course. Look Annabelle said, she showed me an ugly gash on her elbow. Blood was dripping from it. Annabelle gritted her teeth; I fell from the tree and you though I left? So you guys were standing at the door the whole time? I asked. Jason gave her a dark look. We were going to get you but stopped because those men were no longer scary; he paused then whispered you were. I-I-I looked s-scary? I stuttered and tears were dripping from my chin. I looked at my hands the red medallion was still there. Why did I take this? I said. Why did you? Annabelle retorted. No I said, I remembered looking at this and I felt a desire for it. A desire Jason questioned, I am not sure but it seems like you were in a strong state and that you don’t know your own strength. Come on Jason I said, I am not strong, remember me at volleyball? I could hardly punch the ball far. I said it was a statement Jason repeated. I say it’s something supernatural Annabelle added in deliberately. Yeah Jason agreed it’s maybe a gift or something that shouldn’t be good. But this had never happened before! I protested. Were you ever in a situation like this? Annabelle exclaimed. I am pretty sure you act up like this when something threatens you and if you’re in a death situation. That’s probably it I said, but I am not a monster. We know that Annabelle said, well I know now. Besides she continued, this is bound to happen. You know that we aren’t normal Jason said, we are teenagers that are fighting evil, we are surely going to discover our gifts. I think we should tell this to the king I said with frustration. Speaking about him Annabelle said I just got a letter! What! I nearly screamed. Here she said excitedly. I took the red envelop from her and opened it up to find the piece of parchment. I read it aloud even though I didn’t need to.
Dear Miss Annabelle Tamsin Rosteen,

And you must not stall time after reading this letter you are to immediately contact your friends Jason Drew Melton and Caraline Beth Wilson. For you to come to the forest is vital. We need you guys. So I once again repeat that you shall enter the forest right know. Be safe, don’t panic and I believe in you!!!
Your friend,
King Altair
When did you get this? I asked folding the paper and putting it back in to the envelope. I don’t exactly know? Annabelle said sheepishly I found it under my pillow. Strange I said. Why? Jason asked. I thought Altair was going to inform us by something else not just an envelope I said. That’s right he said pondering the thought. Oh well I said maybe we expected too much. Let’s go! Annabelle said hastily we have to go it said not to stall time. Before we go you have to clean that out I said. Jason can you get that medicine box in the closet please? I said. He nodded and walked to the closet carefully taking the blue box on one of the shelves. He walks back and set it on my bed. Annabelle come here he said not looking up. What? Annabelle looked embarrassed. She looked at me, sorry I said I am too tired let him clean it out. Annabelle gave me a look and reluctantly gave her arm to Jason. I was watching them silently standing on the door. I tried not to look too much though, but seeing Annabelle and Jason getting along so much like that. Their bickers and humor to serious fights I can’t help but think that they would be the best couple ever. Caraline, my daydreaming or I should say night dreaming was broken from Annabelle’s voice we’re done. Oh right I said, my face was red I hope they didn’t figure even the slightest bit of what I was thinking. She looked at her and unexpectedly she burst with tears. What’s wrong I exclaimed startled. What’s going to happen now? We’re of to this dangerous mission and we might all die. It would be so dangerous! Annabelle calm down I whispered soothingly patting her. We can handle this. She shook her head and hiccupped. Its okay I said, we are chosen! Annabelle! I mean we will eventually discover our gifts and powers, Annabelle we’re not normal. Annabelle looked at me with teary eyes, you’re right she said her voice quivering then she wiped her face with her arm. Jason screamed, look! He pointed at the wound that was on her arm. It was no longer swollen or bruised but a patch of pink. This isn’t possible! Annabelle exclaimed. A tear rolled down her chin and hit the pink patch of her arm. There I saw that the water immediately disappeared, it seemed that her skin absorbed her tear. Her skin turned blue and it was glowing! The blue was spreading throughout her whole arm. For a minute everyone was breathless. Suddenly the glow died away and the blue faded. The bruise was completely gone. Annabelle herself couldn’t speak; she was so shocked by this. Finally she spoke it healed she whispered. She touched the area with her finger tips then winced and pulled back. It’s really hot! She bellowed. It took me a minute to let this all sink in, Annabelle I croaked, don’t you know what this means? She looked at us then surprisingly nodded. I knew this was bound to happen she mumbled. What! Jason cried, I mean you knew your tears had healing powers! She looked puzzled then spoke swiftly, well I having the ability to heal was practical because…She stopped and looked down. Because what Annabelle? I asked. She cleared her throat then said my mother had the same ability. Your mom was one of the hultarials? Jason asked bewildered and annoyed that he didn’t know this. Annabelle glanced at Jason and sighed, she was given the opportunity but she had chosen not to. My mother was one of the few women who were given this opportunity. Annabelle watched me sadly, but she had never accepted it, she never wanted us to be involved in this saving the world stuff, especially me. She said it was too dangerous; however my dad supported to help his kind and fight evil. This brought many arguments and problems to our family. My mom hated when my dad tells me that I would grow big and save the world and fight evil. She said He shouldn’t be influencing me like that. And so, when I was eight my mother died and my father left. Annabelle stopped to gulp, I was all along but I knew I had some kind of power in me and my dad always reminded me that. Wow Annabelle I said, you never told about your mother like that. Well I had to wait till the time came she said I mean this healing thing never happened before. Well it started, Jason grinned and now you have the ability to heal just like your mother. Yeah I know Annabelle said brightly look at her arm. Someday I would find my father and tell him this she said, someday. Well that day is bound to come I guarantee you. We both exchanged looks and smiled. Hey does anyone know where it is? Jason finally asked. No I said flatly, why would I know where it is? I have it right here Annabelle exclaimed waving the paper in our faces. It was with the letter she said. Here Annabelle exclaimed excitedly. She rolled it out on the desk and traced her fingers along the red line, that’s us she notified unnecessarily. He didn’t put the street names Annabelle said confusedly, he just gave us the name of places Jason said studying the map. Here he said he tapped the first black dot that points the place we have to go first. It says “something you would have to abandon on this mission, not leaving much behind despite the more important things, but the insides and its purposes are important”, he didn’t even give us the exact places just clues. That man is tricky he isn’t going
