Intros And Ending

As I am laying here I wonder if this is how my life will end. As everything becomes darker my life goes passing by, and yet it doesn't. I have not completed my task in which I came here to do, maybe this is how it is suppose to end, dying with my team, the Nature Kids.

"Tieresha wake up, you need to get ready for school." my mother told me. "But Mom I don't want to go to school." I replied. "I know but it is the last day!" my mother exclaimed. "I know, but that still hasn't changed the fact that I don't want to go to school." I answered half asleep.

After getting ready for school I started walking. When I got close to the school I tripped and fell. "What was that?" I asked myself while turning around. When I turned around I saw a small black velvet bag filled with something odd shaped. "I wonder who this belongs to?" I said. When I looked ahead I saw a kid in my grade. Aliessiea Kirnersen one of the high preps. "Aliessiea wait." I yelled as I ran toward her. "What do you want nerd." Aliessiea said with a smirk. "I was wondering if this was yours." I said holding my hand out. "Why would I want an empty velvet bag!" Aliessiea said and then turned away laughing at me with her friends. I thought "But it doesn't look empty.". "Boo!" roared Sanitario. "Ahhhh! Don't do that anymore." I yelled. Sanitario was a hot guy who wanted to go out with me. I had to tell him no because I am already going out with someone. Hey, what luck here he comes. "What up?" greeted Timoco while giving me a hug (I get so excited and tingly inside when he does that). "Hey, look what I found." as I held it out. A voice from behind us butted in "I wonder what it's filled with.". We turned around and it was Ellria. Ellria is a small beautiful girl, but she has been asked out by almost every guy in school. Ellria is one that I can talk to without laughing at me when it comes to serious. "I wonder what's in there to." replied another voice, but this time it was from in front of us. We looked in front of us and there was a scrawny but semi built boy, it was defiantly Lowmeon. " Will everyone stop butting in and just say Hi so we now that you're here!" demanded Sanitario with a huge smile on his face. "Hi. Did you mean like that Sanitario?" yelled someone from a distance. As the person came closer and in view we could tell it was Zerra. "I guess so Zerra!" Sanitario said with a small smirk in his voice. "Where is…" Lowmeon started when he got cut off by a "Sorry I'm late." someone said with a smile on their face. "Oh there you are Daria." Lowmeon said to her with a smile. Daria blushed so badly she was redder than a cherry. What Lowmeon didn't know is that Daria had a crush on him. We started laughing at her when she yelled out "Stop it guys it's not funny." and Daria blushed even more. Daria was very outgoing in our group, but when she is around people she doesn't know very well, then she gets shy. BUZZ. "Well if I were you then I would get our buts inside." Ellria said kind of relieved. "See you guys in lunch, bye." I replied cheerfully. What we didn't know is what we would start seeing in school during classes and meet in lunch.

. . .

In about 5th period Zerra and me saw a blur of orange and black to the left of me and to the left of Zerra we saw a blur of something black and white. "Psssst, psssst, did you see that?" whispered Zerra. "Yeah, what do you think it was?" I whispered back. "I don't know." replied Zerra. We just stared at each other with a little fear arising in us. Just then the bell rang, it was time for lunch. "See you soon Zerra." as I walked away. "You to Tieresha" yelled Zerra while walking in the other direction. As I walked I thought of what we saw and wondered if the other kids saw it too. The more I thought, the more I baffled myself. "I guess I'll just ask the rest of our group if they saw something like Zerra and I did." I mumbled to myself. Then I just headed off to lunch.

In lunch I found that Zerra and I were not the only ones to see the blur of colors by us or objects flashing by. At that very moment I saw a tiger standing on the cafeteria table. I didn't move or say anything at all. Then Ellria jabbed me with her elbow slightly and commented "Is that real or are we all having the same dream. "No you are not. I am Cyber the Siberian Tiger." responded the tiger on the table. Then out of nowhere 6 more animals appeared. There was a Wolf, a Dolphin, a Zebra, a Snake (more like an anaconda), an Eagle, and a Tasmanian Devil. Then the 7 animals all spoke in unison " You have found the bag and you can see that something is in there like no one else can. We have called upon you to help us. When reaching in the bag you will feel one thing and you shall retrieve that item in your hand.". We were all to stunned to do as they had told us to do.

"What are you losers doing?" interrupted Aliessiea . "Wait can't you see them? Their right there in front of you." Ellria said getting out of shock before the rest of us could. "You losers have lost it" snorted Chris Menken. (Chris is one of Alissiea's little preppy followers.)

Then everything around us froze and starting from right under us in a small sphere of darkness appeared and made everything disappeared into blackness except for the 7 animals, the table we were sitting at, my 6 friends and me. I was shocked my mouth almost dropped to the floor and I think that goes for all my friends too. " Now that we have no detractions we can proceed." Cyber stated in a stern voice. " Losers what am I doing here?" shouted Aliessiea in a panic. " Go away then" Daria said sternly while holding an open hand towards her and then she clenched her fist. We were all stunned when Aliessiea really did disappear. " How in the world did that Aliesssssiea girl end up ssssstaying unless ssssshe issssssss part of the group. We are misssssssssing the bear too." spoke Scon the Snake. "Just forget about the bear and get on with it . Who will be paired with me and my precious blood craving teeth." shouted Wainkon the Wolf in excitement. " You are a devilish male, you know that." stated Elkna the Eagle. "Oh shut up before you both become dinner" shouting Tasic the Tasmanian. " Stop fighting!" stated Zonica the Zebra and Dolphca the Dolphin in unison. "BE QUIET! WE NEED TO KNOW WHO FOUND THE BAG." shouted Cyber the Tiger. I spoke up "Cyber I did." "Then you shshshshshshall pick lassssssssssst." Scon said impatiently. "But why you, you beast!" I blurted. "My name isssssss SSSSSSSSScon." the snake hissed in rage. "Whatever!" I mumbled. The eagle swooped at us with impatient anticipation " I can answer your question." " Well then please hurry I am very impatient for the knowledge that I am about to inquire." stated Ellria. "Smart like a predator of the sky, I like this one." squawked Elkna.

'Enough with this chatter we must find out who is who." Cyber stated. Even though all of us were still stunned and frozen like stone when Cyber said "who is who.". Out of no were Zerra spoke up and somehow worked up enough courage to say "I will go first.". "FFFFFine but I hope you don't get me." scowled Scon. Zerra took out the small velvet bag and opened it. When the strings were untied and the bag opened as far as possible a bright flash of light shown and blinded us. Zerra pulled out a small Zircon the neighed Zonica. "Wait what?" Zerra said in puzzlement. "You have the powers of a Zebra. Well it is more like horses, but still. Oh, and the best part Zerra, that is your name right, is that you can change into any type of horse you would like." Zonica neighed in excitement. "Who wants to go next?" Zerra said in disappointment and excitement. "I will!" Lowmeon spoke up in excitement. "He better not be mine he is not my type." Tasic thought out loud. Lowmeon pulled out a Lapis-Lazuli about 2 times as bigger than the Zircon. "Wahoo, he is my partner! Yes that is like, perfect" shouted Wainkon. Lowmeon exited face turned to a frown as he said " I am a Wolf you have to be kidding me.". "It's not that bad it's fun to be a Wolf you will see." said Wainkon a little miffed and depressed. "Who is next? Daria I think you should go!" Lowmeon stated. Daria was blushing more than ever as she reached into the bag. She pulled out an Aquamarine about the same size as Zerra. Daria. "Oh thanks, what fun will this be." said Dolphca in a mean and disappointed manner. Next was Sanitario, he was in a shit ass mood (in his favorite words) because he was just rejected by yet another girl. "You there sssssssssooooooo are you going to choosssssse." grouched Scon. "Leave me alone you sssssssstupid snake." Sanitario lipped back. When Sanitario pulled out the Opal we all heard a "Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.". It was Scon regretting everything because "Kid your withththththththth me" you couldn't hear him to well and you knew he wasn't too pleased about this at all. "What, there must be a mistake." shouted Sanitario and when he tried to put it back a fierce shock hit his hand. He retreated it as quickly as he possibly could. He was shocked latterly, I was shocked, I think everyone was shocked and frightened but not as bad as Sanitario. You could hear Scon chuckling and Cyber sighing. " The bag is always right. It is never wrong." Cyber stated in a disappointed voice. " Oh that wasssssssssss funnnnnnnny kid, do it again." Scon laughed. " Shut up you pathetic living rubber." sneered Timoco. " I shshshshshshould ssssssssssstrangle you." Scon stated angrily and through himself at him. When Scon bit fiercely and deeply into his skin Timoco let out a sharp cry of pain along with Tasic the Tasmanian Devil giving a twisted face as if he had been hurt instead. "Well we all know who Tasic has." Elkna chirped in. "Timoco dear, I think you should choose next." I edged him on. "I think your right babe." Timoco said in his cool and calm voice even though he was bleeding slightly. When he reached in he pulled out a Garnet stone.

" You we're right Elkna." stated Tasic. "Cool." Timoco said a little excitedly. " Ellria you're the last one before me, so I guess it's your turn." I told her as I took my bandanna and used it to stop the bleeding in my boyfriends arm. "Well I guess it is." stated Ellria in somewhat of a nervous state. When she reached in and pulled out the second to last gem it was a Ruby. "I told you I liked her." Elkna said as she swooped down and perched on Ellria's head. " Yes now I can get a bird's eye view." said Ellria in her scientific voice. Everyone then looked at me. I knew what that meant, it meant that it was my turn. When I started to reach for the bag it dissolved and a diamond twice the size then the rest of theirs appeared (except for Lowmeon's, his was slightly smaller).

Then Cyber said " Now everyone has been assigned we can leave you to your business. We will explain the rest and train you later." After that they all disappeared and left us in the darkness. Lowmeon questioned "How are we supposed to carry these around with us?". We were all thinking the same thing. Looking at mine in curiosity I put my two hands together and flatten them. Next thing I knew it was forming itself into a necklace and putting itself around my neck. Everyone turned at me with astonished looks upon their faces. "All I did was this." showing them exactly what I did with the same astonished look on my face as them. They all did exactly what I did and all the boys had silver watches with their stone directly above the 12 and the rest of the girls got necklaces like I did. After that the darkness started to be eaten up by the color of the cafeteria but we noticed everything was frozen. When all the darkness disappeared it all picked up where it left of except for one person who stood way off in the distance.

. . .

"Well that was a different school day. A very unusual way to end the school year. Hopefully this will not affect all of our plans to camp over here in our woods." I said talking to a stuffed tiger. "Hopefully you are right Tieresha." stated a voice. I jumped for I did not now that Cyber was next to me. As I stared at her I shook my head yes and I guess that she guessed what I was going to ask her because she said "We wanted to introduce you guys to your powers." "Wait are you telling me that we have powers!" not only was I shocked but excitement. "Yes would you like to learn one of your powers now." 'Will everyone else learn this too." "Yes, well at least they should." "Well what is it." "Turning or making me real." I just stared at her in shock as she began to explain this to me. "Right now we are all spirits that is why no one else can see us. You all have the power to turn us real or solid. Would you like to know how?" Still in shock and my mouth gaping open I shook my head yes.

"The only thing you have to do is concentrate." "Concentrate? Concentrate on what?" "Yes, concentrate on darkness at first then on your tiger within. It should already be awakened." Still a little confused I said "Yes.".

"Now listen to me carefully. You have to go into meditation mode." "Meditation mode?" "Yes Tieresha, you have to meditate" I shook my head and got into a meditation position. " Now think of blackness, of nothingness, understand." I shook my head and closed my eyes. Pictures of today and days before that had started to zoom bye. Then a black nothingness took over. " Is your mind clear." Yet again I shook my head. "Good now picture me in my true form, as a tiger. In other words a solid figure." I did as I was told and in a few minutes I felt something soft and warm against my leg. When I opened my eyes there standing in front of me was something I thought I would never see this close up.

Standing in front of me was the most luxurious Siberian Tiger. With an orange fur the color of the setting sun and the black stripes as dark black of midnight on a new moon. Deep blue eyes of loneliness and struggle and also across the left eye a scar of past struggles.

"Wow you are beautiful," I said in gaze. "Well thank you and you are a quick learner. For others in the past took a few more tries than that to get it right." Cyber said in an impressed tone. "Why thanks I guess. Do we have more power than this or skills." I asked wanting to learn more. I wanted to understand everything that was going on just as much as everyone else would if they were in my shoes.
