HOPE'S POV

I was asleep in my room when I heard the trap I had set for the next monster go off. I untangled myself from Josie and put my shoes on and rushed to the main hall joining Dr.Saltzman and Dorian.

Hope: Sounds like the trap worked.

Dr.S loaded his crossbow as Dorian handed me a sword. We all rushed outside heading towards the old mill where the trap was as we were walking through the woods I looked at Dr.Saltzman and saw he had no pants on.

Hope: I know this is important, but you couldn't have put pants on first?

Alaric: Little early for snark, Hope.

Dorian: Any guesses on what famous monster from filmland we get to slay today?

Alaric: (Scoffs) With our luck, it'll be Cthulhu.

Dorian: False alarm. It's just a horse.

Alaric: Must've gotten out of the stables and wandered across the barrier spell.

I looked at the so-called Horse and notice something strange about it.

Hope: Except we don't have a white horse.

I gasp as it raises its head and turns towards us. It's a Unicorn. It trots towards us and Dr.Saltzman raised his crossbow. I put myself between him and the poor beast.

Hope: Hey, wait, wait. Hold your fire.

Dorian: It's a monster, Hope. It's here to take the artifact.

Hope: You're not seriously we kill a unicorn.

Dorian: I'm suggesting we don't give it a pass because it's cute.

Hope: Can't we just... leave it alone? It's trapped, it's not going anywhere. It's harmless.

They look at each other having a silent conversation before Dr.Saltzman responds.

Alaric: Hope's right. As long as we keep it alive, other creatures won't be coming for the urn. So we just stay alert and let it be.

Dorian: Alright well, I'll be on alert back in bed.

He turns around and starts walking back to school and I follow.

------------

I wake up after feeling something tickle my nose I check my surroundings and see Josie is not here she must have left early. I feel so happy. I get up and get dressed and walk out of my room to see the squad is all chilling in the living room.

Hope: Hey morning guys. How are you guys doing?

Mg: We're doing good Hope.

Hope: Cool

Kaleb: You seem to be in a really good mood.

Hope: Yeah I guess I just woke up on the right side of the bed.
