Oliver, James, Sean, Kyle, and peter where were laughing and having a ball when five smooth, scaly, turquoise monsters appeared from the pool.

“What the heck” James screamed. He pulled a knife out of his shirt pocket that he had no idea how to use. Sean pulled out a sword and shield. The rest of them grabbed pool sticks.

“Stay back!” Sean ordered as he charged at the monsters. He raised his shield and whacked a beat hard in the face, sending it flying into the wall. He ducked lashing claws and cut them with his massive sword and knocked the creature with his sword handle.

Peter threw his yard stick into a monster’s eye.

“How did they get in here?” Oliver asked as he raised his stick in a defensive stance.

Meanwhile Evelyn, Kitsune, Lacey, and Cecily where helping a mysterious young women to her feet after being brutally beaten by some of the Evergreen soldiers.  They sat at a wooden table with her and gave her a glass of water.

The young women had braided light ginger hair and amber eyes. She was tall for a woman, about ten inches taller than Evelyn.

“What’s your name?’ Evelyn asked.

“Brook” the young woman answered. She dressed in a velvet gray hat, a tattered blue shirt, jeans, and brown shoes.

“Why do you think those men beat you?” Evelyn asked softly.

“It’s because of my family” Brook said. “My dad is King Luther” brook added.

“So you’re a princess?” Lacey asked hopefully.

“No” brook answered. “My mom isn’t Queen Ira. King Luther accidently fell in love with another woman and produced me. It was an accident. I’m an accident” Brook explained and started crying. Her tears washed away the dirt and clay on her face.

“Shhhhhh” Evelyn soothed as she held brook’s hands. “I’ve been picked on and bullied all my life to’ Evelyn added. “I know how it feels. Mine may not be as extreme as yours but it still hurts. Man and Women make fun of me for wanting to fight against the King” she added.

Brook stopped crying.

“How long have you been here?” asked Kitsune.

“Six years” answered brook.

“Where do you live in the rebellion castle?” Cecily asked.

“I live in one of bottom floors” brook replied.

“Does Bruce lance know you’re here?” Evelyn asked.

“No” Brook answered.

“Lacey, take Brook to Bruce” ordered Evelyn. Lacey did as she was told.

“I need to check on something” Evelyn said as she dashed out of another exit.

Several more monsters crashed through the room to rip apart the struggling men.

James was throwing pool balls at the monsters. Whenever a ball hit their opponent the monster would be sent flying. Sean was fighting his hardest with only a shield.

Oliver’s shirt was split open and he had a large cut on his shoulder. He wielded Sean’s sword the best he could. Peter threw beer bottles at the creature’s faces. He looked sad to be losing his beer. Kyle grabbed a monster’s tail and used the monster as a mace.

“This is so cool” Oliver couldn’t help saying as he cut a monster in the stomach. Sean was surrounded by monsters soon. James ironically tripped over a pool ball and was trying to crawl away from monsters.
