I clean the house while my mom's asleep. At about 12:00 the boys wake up when they smell food.

"Ree! Can we go to the park today?"

My youngest brother Nick tumbles down the hall and into the kitchen. His dark hair is wild with bed head and he crashes into the chair as he stumbles around.

I can't hind the amusement in my voice as I say,

"Maybe Nicky. Let's eat first."

"What is for lunch anyway?" My brother Zach asks as he comes into the kitchen with Jake on his heels.

"Scrambled eggs and French toast." Did I mention that all of us except mom are vegetarians?

My announcement is met with a round of cheers.

"Jake, Nick go sit down."

Zach and I quickly make their plates and set them down in front of the boys then make our own. We all sit down and dig into our breakfast with vigor. I finish first and stick my plate in the dishwasher. The boys are done soon after.

"Ree can we please go to the park?"

I look over at Nick and see his big soulful eyes staring at me. How can I say no to him?

I sighed "Alright go get dressed and we'll go."

They all cheered and darted off to their rooms.

Soon we were ready to go. We walked out the door and I locked it with my key behind me.

"Alright troops let's go."

The walk to the park is five miles. For as long as I can remember my family's been coming to this park. When I was little my mom would carry me here, then when she had Zach she carried him while I walked. Four years later she had Jake. Mom carried Jake while I was carried four year old Zach. Lastly when Nick was born I carried Jake while Zach walked beside me and mom carried Nick. Every birthday, Christmas, Halloween, Easter, Independence Day, and any other holiday on the calendar we visit the park at night. It's like a second home to us. We finally made it to the park. It's an old abandoned place. The swings are rusty but still sturdy, the slide is gritty but when it rains it becomes slippery enough to slide on. The animals on springs are all rusty but they still work. Nick loves to play on the little blue dolphin while Jake always likes to play on the grasshopper. There's an old willow tree that sits in the middle of the grounds. My spot is at the base of the willow tree. I always go there to sit and think. I let Nick slide off my back and as he raced away to his dolphin I walked over to the willow and sat down. I watched as Zach pushed Jake on the swings. It was a beautiful afternoon with a cloudless sky and the sun out. Some of that sun slipped between the branches of the willow and landed on me. Enough to be pleasantly warm but with a little bit of shade covering me as well. I began to drift off as my brothers played.

I wake up to see the colors of sunset. I've let the boys stay out to long! Zach knows how to fight but Jake and Nick are defenseless against the Hel-Blar.

"Boys we need to go!" I barked. Instantly they start running for me underneath the willow.

"NO! Head for the road!" I bellowed.

They stop, kicking up dust like cartoon characters and spin around and start booking it for the road. I shoot out from under the willow tree and quickly catch up to them. After two miles of the tree line becoming a blur I see Nick start to slow down. Without stopping I pick him up and throw him onto my back. He wraps his small arms around my neck and holds on for dear life. Beside me I see Zach pick up Jake and start to carry him. Jake and I run side by side. We do not have supernatural speed but we are incredibly fast. I'm faster but I stay right beside my brother as we bolt for the house. We have one more mile to go when the sun slips below the horizon and darkness covers the land. I flare my nostrils. The stink of Hel-Blar creeps into my nose.

"We are too late." I mutter.

I look at Jake and Zach beside me.

"Jake you are going to have to run so Zach can carry Nick. Can you make it?"

I see the determination in my brother's eyes as he nods at me. He slides off Zach's back with ease. Without breaking stride I hand Nick off to Zach.

"Now listen to me. You three are to go into the house and bar all the doors and windows. Don't let mom come after me. I'm going to stay and hold them off."

"But Ree that's crazy! You don't know how many there are or how skilled they are!" Zach protested.

"Save your breath. I can handle them. I'll be back by morning at the latest. I love you."

Zach looks at me and I know he understands that my first duty is to protect them.

"Okay. I love you too sis."

"Yeah me too." Jake chimes in.

"Me too Ree!"

When little Nick chimes in it just about breaks my heart.

"Now GO!"

And with that I stop and watch as my brothers run the last half mile to safety.

I turned in the middle of the dirt road and placed myself in a fighting position. For those of you reading this at home

NEVER try to take on Hel-Blar with your bare hands. The first one came out of the tree line and ran straight at me.

30 ft…20ft.….10ft.….9ft.….7ft.…5ft.

I lunged forward and wrapping my hands around it's neck and hearing a sickening crack. I quickly whipped my lighter out from my pocket, glad I had remembered it this morning. I flipped open the top and put the flame to the Hel-Blar's body. It shrieked in my ear as it's blue skin lit up like a firework on the fourth of July. In a matter of seconds there was a pile of ash at my feet. I couldn't focus on my win when there were 15 more coming at me.

Again I waited until the came close before throwing myself into the fight. I took down 10 of them after about 8 minutes. I could feel myself getting somewhat tired but knew I couldn't stop or I would be ripped to shreds by their claws. I lunged at the three in front of me, momentarily forgetting about the fourth one, that is until it came from the side and slashed me across the shoulder. I felt warm blood pool from my wound as it's claws ripped through my skin. I jerked back with a gasp.

"Crap that hurt!" I muttered.

One of the Hel-Blar sent me to the ground. They took turns kicking at me since I was to weak to stop them. I felt myself begin to black out as they closed in for the kill. I watched the one drive it's claws towards my heart and I closed my eyes to wait for the killing blow.

…..

Only it didn't come.

I opened my eyes to find six men with black hair fighting my attackers off. One of them ran over to me while the rest dispatched the Hel-Blar.

"What were you THINKING taking on 16 Hel-Blar on by yourself?!"

Then he looked me over and noticed the blood coming from my shoulder and soaking my clothes.

"Did they scratch you or bite you?" He demanded.

I glared. "He scratched me. I'm not stupid! I know better than to let one of them get close enough to bite me!"

"and yet one still scratched you." he mused.

"Hey not everyone's perfect!" I snapped back.

He ripped his shirt and pressed the material against my shoulder. It was then that I started to really get dizzy from the blood loss. I started to sway.

He pushed me down "Take it easy."

I felt the world begin to go black.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Nicholas. What's yours?"

"It's…." the world went black before I could finish.


Hopefully you liked it! Thanks for reading and please review! I'm always open to ideas. Have a good night everbody (or day depending on where you live)!
