Chapter 13:

Secrets of Thunderclap

1

Camella watched as the beast ducked his head and entered the cave. Her body froze, her skin was icy. The beast looked darker, and bigger. Camella closed her eyes and opened them again, he was there. At first she thought it was all in her head, he couldn't have found her that fast, could he? While she was there, she started to wonder where Fredrick had gone, did he go through the doorway, the doorway that had the word Thunderclap on it? She thought she had no other choice but to go into the doorway. "Stay back!" Camella screamed, she said it so quickly that it sounded like one word. The beast stopped, as Camella pulled out the mirror. "I know how to use this…"

"Smart, but you know that's mine." The beast roared as he stepped towards her. Camella took a step back, she was up against the wooden door now. The beasts sharp teeth popped out, they seemed to be covered in blood. "You have something else that's mine." The beast said and hopped towards her, grabbing onto her body with his hands. Her ripped at her dress, her breasts popped out. She shriked and closed her eyes. She felt his tough touch on her skin, his claws lightly glazing her skin. He slowly moved his fingers down towards her stomach, her stomach that had a bump in it now.

"Don't…" Camella cried out. The beast laughed madly at her beg, if that's even what it was. The beast released her and he grabbed the mirror from her. Camella's eyes watered up as she looked up at the beast.

"It's not my fault…" The beast said, "You can make this easy…or hard."

"What do you mean it's not your fault?" Camella asked.

"This…beast…it's not….AHHHHHH!" The beast bashed against the wall, the whole mountain seemed to shake. Camella let out a scream of terror, the beast went to grab her and Camella lifted the dagger. The beasts hand struck it and he let out a terrible scream. Camella stood up and opened the doorway. The beasts eyes widened and he moved away from the door as it sucked Camella in quickly. She let out a scream as the pressure pulled her, the door then slammed behind her. The beast hit the door and it cracked.

"You didn't get her, you asshole!" A man said walking into the cave, it was the mysterious stranger. He seemed to float in the air, his dark eyes.

"I got this." The beast said, holding the mirror.

"Ah." The man said, grabbing the mirror. He looked into it. "This will do us no good, not while she is in Thunderclap…"The man lifted the mirror then crashed it to the ground. "She may never return!"

"What do we do?" The beast asked.

"We will just have to send some people in and get her for us…"

Camella fell into a middle of a road, she got up quickly and looked around, there were people walking near large buildings, she had no idea what they were wearing, and what those 'buildings' were. There was then a vehicle moving towards her, she screamed and moved out of the way. She ran to the sidewalk and looked up at the people. "Where am I?" She asked. The people looked down in ah, but continued to walk. "Help!" She screamed. She started to run down the sidewalk.

She ran up to a man and grabbed him, "Please, where am I?" She asked.

"New York…" The man said, "Are you okay?" He had a strong accent that she couldn't understand, he would have told her that's just normal for New Jersey where he lived.

"Whats…New York?" She asked. The man looked at her, then grabbed her and pulled her with him. "What are you doing?"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes!"
"Were you beat?"

"No…I…is this…the future?" Camella asked.

"Oh shit, your trippin." The man said.

"No…I'm not." She said confused.

"Oh shit, you be fo'real?"

"Yes. Please."

A large crowd then started to run to the middle of the road, cars were honking. Camella looked over and the man and her started to walk towards the road to see what everyone else was trying to see. Camella walked over, and then heard a woman screamed.

"He was hit by a car!" A woman screamed, then there was a cop car pulling up. Camella saw who it was and started to scream and cry, it was Fredrick…

"NO! NO!" Camella started to scream and cry, the man held onto her, Camella felt faint suddenly. She grabbed onto the man and looked into his eyes, they were green. That's what she saw.

"Do you know him?" He asked. Camella continued to cry but shook her head up and down. A police officer walked over to her and

"Hey lady…lady?" The police asked. Camella heard it, but she wasn't paying attention, she felt sick, and faint…she looked up again at the man then fainted.

Camella awoke, and she looked around. She was in a room, wearing a white dress, or a hospital gown. Not that she would know what any of those things were. Camella stood up and walked towards the window and looked out. The door opened, and it was the man she had meet.

"How you feelin?" He asked, walking towards her slowly.

"I feel…fine. Thanks." Camella said.

"I'm Mike, Mike Hereforth."

"I'm Camella…" she then laid back down on the bed, and started to cry.

"He's alive." Mike said.

"HE IS!?" Camella got up and went to the man, "Where is he?"

"He's in urgent car, he was hit pretty bad…but Camella, he's in a coma."

"What's that?"

"A very deep sleep. Are you really from the past?" Mike asked.

"Yes."

"Usually I would think this was a joke, but you seem really sincere."

"I am. So this is the future huh?"

"Yeah. Pretty strange huh?" Mike said and laughed.

"Indeed." Camella stood there, "I really need to see him."

"They won't let you. I already asked."

"I need to talk to him…"

"How did you get here?"

"I—"

"What?"

"Thunderclap…" Camella then told him the entire story…including the beast…

A group of six dark walkers stood in front of the mysterious man and the beast. They all had white hair, and wore sunglasses, some of them were young, but most of them looked old and wore out. They were pale, and strange looking. One of them opened their mouth and licked their lips. They had fangs, like vampires.

"You will enter that world and hunt down the girl…you must bring her back to our world…you must bring her back to the castle…"

"Yes…" They all said.

"You can kill the other man, Fredrick…but bring us her alive."

"We will master. We will."

The dark walkers opened the door and jumped into it. "We need to get her before the child is born…" The man said to the beast.

"After it's born, can I have her?" The beast asked.

"Your pathetic."
