Hide and Seek Book 2: The Mysterious Child

Chapter 76

"Eh?" Kristine and Kathleen looked around. They only saw some trees, knowing that they are inside the forest.

"What happened?" Kathleen asked.

"I don't know." Kristine replied.

"Kathleen! Kristine!" They heard Kath yelled their names. Both of them looked into her direction, and suddenly they are terrified.

"K-Kath... Behind you!" Kristine yelled. Kath stopped and looked slowly on her back to see a creature with only one eye and with some black ooze drippin on it. It shot a slimy tentacle on Kath.

But suddenly the tentacle was into pieces and the creature screamed and left.

"What the..." Kath and Kristine mummured.

"Did you do anything?" Kath asked Kathleen but she only shook her head.

"Apparently, there's someone with us on this forest." Bryan said. Kath screamed in surprise. "Let's go." He said like he didn't heard her. The three nodded and ran. But suddenly Kath stopped. "Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"Where's Ken?" He asked.

"Ken? Is he here?!" Kristine said in between surprise and happiness. Kath nodded.

"I am the lady of the lake~~" someone said creepily and it shook the bush. It suddenly jumped. Kath and Kathleen screamed, revealing it was Alex.

"Damn you nigga!" Kath yelled. Alex looked at her with a sly smirk.

And suddenly the creature reappeared. Kristine gasped.

"Fuck!" Alex yelled. "Sorry! I was just running away from it! And it followed me!" Alex yelled. Bryan sighed and Kath looked at the creature and stared at it, like she was finding it's weakness.

"The eye..." She muttered.

"What?" Bryan looked at her.

"The eye... It was it's weakness." Kath said.

"The eye?" Kristine, Kathleen, and Alex repeated. The three of them looked at Bryan.

"Why are you looking at me?!" He cried.

"It was obvious that you can do it." Kath glared at him. He sighed and suddenly he remembered something.

"Wait, where's Ian and CJ?" He looked around.

"Oh yeah where are they...?" Kathleen is not sure with her answer. Kathleen is trying to break the jewel from her necklace.

"Um... Kathleen what are you doing?" Kristine asked.

"I'm trying to take this off. It was annoying to see it clinging from its base." She said and suddenly it glowed then it released some fire. Her eyes shone in fear.

"Kath." Alex called, Kath looked at her. "You know what we will do right?" She grinned.

"Yeah I do." Kath smirked. "Kristine, get Kathleen away, it's dangerous to stay closely with that fire." Kath said. Kristine carried Kathleen with hesitation and go near to Bryan.

"This fire is intense." Bryan said.

"It can eat the whole forest in a blast so it was the best if we remove it here." Kath said.

"How?"

Kath looked at Alex but,

Alex was gone.

"Eh? Where is she." She looked around. But then the fire started to move on its own. "Eeeeeh??!"

Alex was controlling the fire.

"Let's do this." She said.

"Sure." Kath said. Both of them started to control the fire but it started to eat multiple trees. Both of them frowned and shot it to the creature.

"Fire ignite!" Alex yelled and the flames are intense and it hit the creature on the eye. It disappeared into ashes.

"It was finished." Kath smiled.

But suddenly Ian and CJ were throwed at them, hitting Kath and Bryan. Both of them are badly injured and there are blood dripping from Ian's head.
