William, Brittany, and the girl were fast asleep within twenty minutes after William had told Brittany the news. The next morning when William was getting fish from the lake, and while Brittany was sitting at the camp, the young girl woke up screaming. "It's going to get me!!" she screamed. "It's okay you are safe now." Brittany said quietly. "You are still injured, so you need to rest young one." "I want to go home to my mommy!!" cried the girl. "You will once you have recovered," Brittany said. By this time William had returned, and began to cook the fish over the fire. "What is your name honey?" Brittany asked. "Rachel," the girl replied. "Well Rachel we will be taking acre of you until you recover from your attack," William said. "Oh I hate that creature, so much." "He tried to kill me and my family, but I ran away before he could get me." "Oh but I don't know what happened to my family." "What if the creature got them?" Rachel cried. "I am sure your family is fine, and we will help you find them Rachel," Brittany said kindly. 

Rachel smiled a bit, but then she frowned. "Do you know what attacked you?" Brittany asked. "I remember that it wasn't human at all," Rachel said. "It had the head of a snake, the body of a lion, and the hands and legs of a lizard." "I know what attacked you," William said. "What attacked me then?" asked Rachel. He was the monster that lurks within Willow Forest." "We will protect you from him," William said softly. All three of them had to stay in the same day for three days, because of Rachel's injury. After three days Brittany, William, and Rachel began to travel through the forest. They traveled for a weak more, and then they came to a town. Brittany found a police station here, and called to William and Brittany. They went into the police station, and walked to a counter. The chief meted with them, and asked how he could help them. Brittany told him where they lived, and that they were lost. The chief called one of his men into the room. "Take these children to their home town please," he told the man. "Yes sir," the man said back. The police officer drove them back to Trenton. William, Brittany, and Rachel all got out of the car. 

Brittany went back to her house, William left back to the school for he knew that Mr. Johnson would be looking for Brittany, and Rachel she asked to go with Brittany. Brittany brought Rachel home, and snucked Rachel in her room very easily. While her family argued in their usual arguing spot, Brittany and Rachel went through many thoughts. "What is with your family?" Rachel asked. "They have been cursed by Mr. Johnson my Science teacher," Brittany explained. "Is he the one that that boy was talking about?" asked Rachel. "Yes he is," Brittany said. Meanwhile William was walking into the school, when he was grabbed by a dozen claws. He struggled to break free, but he failed at that. They took him to Mr. Johnson's Science room. Mr. Johnson was sitting in his seat, but he was still in his creature form. "Ah there is my best student," Mr. Johnson said with a sinister look. "You will never get away with this you monster!!" William shouted. "That's what you think," Mr. Johnson laughed. "Take him to the machine,"Mr. Johnson commanded the students. They did this, and William was put into a pod like thing. "You will now be a monster like me with no feeling for others whatsoever like your fellow classmates," Mr. Johnson proclaimed.
