¹ It was raining outside. Seven Devils has not had rain like this for ages. "Are there just no cryptids? We've been searching for hours." Chip says looking up at the sky. Chip shows a confused look on her face. "What was that?" Nova said looking in another direction. "I can't see shit for nothing with this damn eyepatch, So I don't know what the fuck you're talking about ma'am." They'd glare at each other in silence. They'd also cackle at the situation. "No. But like, Seriously...What was that?" Nova said. "Did you hear something?" Chip says in a whisper. "LOOK OVER THERE, NEAR THE POND," Nova says. "WE GOTTA HIDE SOMEWHERE." Chip spotted a Bush and ran behind it as Nova followed. A group of teenagers slowly passed by. "This is a restricted area, Only we were allowed to come in here because of the case." Said Chip as she whispered even lower. "Just listen to what they're talking about for now." Said Nova whispering back.
² "Where are they?" One of the guys said. The group continued to walk down the route. "HELLO?" Said the one with a red backpack on. Chip sneaked to grab the last teen before he could say anything. Chip pulled a dagger out, Grabbed the teen by the neck and held him. The two others looked behind them shocked. Suddenly, They try to run towards the watchtower but, Were captured by Nova's trap she set up. The trap was meant for livestock and smaller cryptids; it managed to catch the two teens who attempted to flee pretty well. Nova and Chip switched places; Nova holds the teen by the neck as tight as possible. "1..2..3..There are three of you, you all decided to come HERE and have the time of your lives. Sorry to break it to you, But that's NOT going to happen." Chip says walking around the trap. The rain stopped. All the teens started to struggle to move. "Move again and backpack kid over there gets it." When Chip said that Nova put a tighter grip on the teens neck. "Name." Chip says pointing her dagger towards Nova. "My name is Issac." Said the kid with the backpack. "Ayo," Nova says getting Chip's attention. "He has a tail." Said Nova moving to show her. "He's shy too." Continued Nova. "He also looks around our age." Chip says, Then looks at the two In the trap. "Names?" Chip says stabbing the dagger into the tree holding the trap up. "I'm Willy, And that's Peter." Says the teen with Brown hair. "Well, Hello there. My name is Chip, And that's Nova. We should be going now it's getting late." Chip says grabbing her Dagger outta the tree. "Aren't you gonna take us with you?" Says Jason. "Oh, Yea. That's Nova's job. Have fun with that by the way. Anyways, See you at the watchtower." Chip says getting on her motorcycle and leaving. "Alrighty, Here are the rules. If you run off, we will find you and you'll get executed. If you hit me, You'll get executed. You misbehave, You'll get executed. When we get there and you touch Kristy without permission, YOU. WILL. BE. EXECUTED. Any Questions?" Nova says smiling. "When we get food?" Issac asks. "When we get there, I'll cook for all of you." Nova says. "Anymore Questions?" Nova continues. "Why are you taking us?" Peter asks. Nova got quiet. "Since no one else has any questions! We should get a move on!" Nova says un-doing the trap.
³ "We made it." Nova says. Everyone walks towards the door as Nova unlocks it. "You made it!" Chip says hugging Nova. "The rules don't apply for now." Nova says letting them go. Silence flew over everyone. "Since everyone is so QUIET all of a sudden...I'll tell you kids about why we're here." Nova says sitting down in a chair. Willy, Peter, And Issac sit down on the floor next to her. "On Janurary 29th, Chip, Jessica, And Me were helping Doctor Seventh with some type of system project. This project consists of these unique creatures, some were nice; Others were hostile." Nova says. "Were you professional like everyone else?" Asked Issac. "No we were trainees. Due to that, we couldn't interact as much as others. Seventh was working on this project. And I mean sleepless nights. He tested and tested and tested, Until that day of Janurary 29th came along and the project was due. He didn't finish it in time, This project was the key to his promotion; Which caused him to get angry. He said, And I quote..."You guys are worthless. If you want a job here you need to be helpful." End quote. As soon as he said that to US he continued to work on the test tubes he had. Mintues later the building started shaking. Everyone was to evacuate asap. But Seventh, He tried to save his "projects" before the lab collapsed on him. The newspaper and Seventh himself claims he's dead. But the way his projects are walking around, begs to differ." Nova says. "We were tired of calling his creations projects so we call them cryptids." Chip says handing Nova. "What happened to the building?" Claimed Peter. "The nuclear base under our lab exploded, Causing the whole place to crumble down." Nova says.
⁴ "COULD WE NOT TALK ABOUT THE SAPPY STUFF?!" Yells Willy. "Don't you think it's cool though?" Asked Peter. "You idiots still haven't told us why you're here." says Chip. "I can tell you since these two are bickering. We- Well, I wanted to find you guys because I heard you have my sister Rose. DON'T BE ALARMED THOUGH, I didn't come here to rat you out. I came to tell you thanks for saving her from the family she was in. Me and her were our worst state, No home, No food, Nothing. So I ran away." Said Issac removing himself from Peter and Willy. "So we were right to keep Kristy." Nova says to Chip.
⁵ Jessica approached the door and knocked. She could hear more than two voices talking on the other side. "Must be the TV." Jessica opens the door to see three random guys with Chip and Nova. Kristy runs to Issac with a smile on her face. "Well excuse me, I thought you guys went cryptid hunting. Turns out, It wasn't cryptids you were hunting for." Jessica says with a smirk on her face. Chip and Nova give each other the "WHAT THE HELL IS SHE THINKING" look.
