chapter 1

“Run, run!” I hear Cory yell from behind me. No, I was just going to stop and let the Destroyers tear me apart, I thought sarcastically. Until we find their weakness, so that we can take them down, we have to keep running from them and never stop. “Tell Izzie we are going to do a down and around the tree,” I yell back to Cory.

“Ok,” he yells back.

Then, he instructed Izzie to do a down and around the tree, the only thing we have found that can distract them long enough to get away. Luckily they are really dumb, so they fall for it every time. I realize it’s time.

"Ready everyone,” I yell.

"Ready," I hear Izzie reply.

"Ready," shouts Cory.

"Ok, that one," I say as I point out the tree we are going to use to trick our chasers. "One, two, three, now." We stop to concentrate and then throw our shadows. It makes it look like we fell down then ran around the tree. Now we truly disappear so that they follow our shadows thinking that is the way we went. Too bad we can only disappear for a small amount of time. We better run the other way as fast as we can while we are invisible. Otherwise, we will be sitting ducks! Once they realize we are not there, we will be very far away and they won’t know we even left.
