The astrals before Blox Watch

Chapter seven: The second victim

After a couple of hours of driving it started to get dark. It was around 10:00 P.M. Cerise had fallen asleep for an hours or so, and Charlotte had also recently drifted off. It wasn't long until both Daisy and Rose started to fall asleep, so Guest, who was at the driving wheel decided it would be best to stop and have a rest. Matt and Molly agreed they have a guarding system. One person would guard the car for half of the night, and someone else the second half. Since guest had been driving for four hours, Matt and Molly stayed as guards.

Matt went to guard first. For the first two hours nothing happened since they stopped in an area surrounded by a forest , and he decided to play some music from his phone. Little did he know, the quietness wouldn't last for long...........

"So, who we ge-inn'?"

"The one on guard"

"Ya sure? What about Guest's wife or the warrior girl over there?"

"If we take Guest's friend they will be another fighter short. Daisy isn't a good fighter and Molly doesn't have the determination boss is lookin' for"

"So how we goin' attack him?"

"We both rush 'em. Got it?"

" 'Right mate"

The shadow beats waited for the perfect time to attack. They saw their chance when Matt turned around facing the car. The beast hit Matt in the head, against the car , setting the alarm off. This woke up everyone inside. After he slammed Matt against the car, he tossed him onto the ground.

"Oi! Leave him alone!" shouted Molly before another creature crashed into her, making her fall on the ground. Luckily, the creature didn't get a hold of Molly, so she was able to get it off her.

The creature that attacked Matt was about to knock him out, but then, Guest saved him.

"Cheers mate. I would have been a goner without you!"

"No problem!"

They didn't have much breathing time though, as more beasts came attacking them.

Meanwhile, still in the jeep, Daisy looked out the window. She saw how the three were struggling so she picked up a gun, loaded it and said to Rose:

"Take care of Charlotte and Cerise. I've got some work to do........"

"Do you know how these things work?"

"Yes, I do. Don't ask how, just do what I said"

"Right. Good luck!"

Outside , things weren't looking so pretty. Matt had been successfully knocked out , Molly was at the ground, and Guest was in a tricky situation: Two creatures were holding him by his arms, and one preparing to punch him out. When suddenly *BANG!* Daisy had shoot one of the beasts keeping her husband's arms. With that, Guest was able to knock the two remaining attackers out.

"Thanks!"

"No problem! Here , grab another gun and let's help Molly."

Thankfully, freeing Molly was piece of cake. The three inspected Matt for any injuries, when they heard something that sounded like a body falling to the ground. Guest and Daisy looked to the direction the sound came from. It was from the back of the jeep. They couldn't really see, but they could make out a pale hand. Both knew Rose was out too. They snuck, with the guns fully loaded to the back. They were getting close when everything seemed to have happened at once:

*crack* "What the-?" *BANG* 

Daisy had stepped on a branch, which distracted the beast. After showing it's head, Daisy shot the beast in a flight or fight response killing it. The two advanced quicker to the back, to see another beast, threatening Charlie and Cerise.
