Here is Chapter 8 People! Tell me what you think, please don't be afraid to comment just don't put in anything rude okay.
The note just said to meet him at the park at 8pm but he didn't say whereabouts and she had no idea what he was planning but she did trust him and was sure he had a good explanation for this. She approached the front gate of the park, she looked around with a confused look, and she couldn't see Frank anywhere. She looked at the note, it said to meet him 'in' the park not by the park. What on earth was he thinking? Well if he was in the park there was only one way to find out.
She looked around her to check that there were no other monsters about. Nora sighed heavily and once she knew the coast was clear she flew over the gate, through the wooded pathway and landed in a small clearing "Frank?" she called out, then gave a small moan of frustration "where the heck is he?" she muttered to herself.
Then she looked a moment to take what was around her, although the scenery was dark it had a peaceful essence to it, the sound of crickets chirping entrancingly, the trees swaying gently in the night-time breeze, it was a pleasant atmosphere.
She smiled to herself, closed her eyes and spread out her arms and wings. She breathed in and then sighed almost forgetting what was going on around her.
Suddenly she felt 2 clawed hands cover her eyes and heard the word "BOO!" in her ears. Nora gasped loudly and then heard "GUESS WHO!?" Nora immediately recognised the voice.
She turned around to face the culprit "Frank!" She pushed him back not too hard and gave him a little bit of glare. "Ok start talking why did you bring me here?"
He chuckled "Well I said I would help you learn scaring and since you were more of night owl, I thought doing this at night would help get you into the zone"
"But Frank I don't think we're meant to be here! And I don't want to get in trouble for sneaking around again!"
"Hey Chill out, we're not doing anything bad, besides no one else comes here at this time I swear" he answered trying to sound soothing.
Nora relaxed a little "Ok but how did you get here without anyone seeing you?
"You're not the only one who knows how to sneak into places, I have my own ways a Scarer's gotta know this stuff"
"Right, forgot about that" Nora responded looking down
"Hey come on, you gave me a chance to help you and this is what I'm doing, and have I ever let you down?" Frank almost looked worried. "Not once".
"So are you with me on this?"
"Well I'm here now and I just can't say no…Okay I'm with you" she ended with a smile
So once again Frank and Nora went over scaring techniques, but this time Nora felt a lot more at ease and more into the zone. But she wasn't sure whether it was because it was a night or that she and Frank were the only monsters there.
They started off with running, sneaking and climbing over objects as quick as they can without messing up. They even did it in the children's playground. Frank humped off a swing sliding down the slide on his belly like a snake, Nora crawled across a seesaw and leapt over the climbing frame.
"Ha ha, nicely done!" They hi fived each other
Frank called out certain scares and Nora immediately performed the appropriate one them
"Angry Rottweiler!" Growled like a dog
"Zombie snarl!" groaned like zombie
"Cobra hiss!" hissed like a snake
"Yeah you got it!"
"Thanks…. I'm just getting warmed up"
They were then doing the hiding task again but this time it took Frank longer to find Nora. Last time he knew where she was hiding instantly but now it's like she had properly vanished completely. But since it was dark Nora could hide a lot easier now. He almost regretted the hiding idea.
He thought he saw a shadow fly over him but when he looked he saw nothing over then he heard a rustle in the bushes, he chuckled quietly went over to the bush and went 'Ah HA!' But Nora wasn't there "Hmmm" Frank rested his hand against his mouth and cheek in though.
He walked round the area for a bit when all of a sudden out of nowhere something dark hung down in front of him and hissed violently.
"AAHH!" Frank fell to the ground and heard the figure laughing hysterically 'Gotcha Frank!"
Frank looked to see it was Nora hanging upside down by her tail from a tree branch that was right above him.
"Woah Nora you almost scared the spikes off of me!"
"Almost?" Nora's tail swung here up so she could stand on the branch she was hanging from
"That was fantastic how did you come up with something like that?"
"Not sure, I kinda just felt it!"
"Well I can tell you this I think we've found you're special scare." Nora felt astonished how just by Frank bringer her here at night bring out her inner Scarer. "Wow for real?"
"Yeah and you're definitely getting a lot scarier"
"Or maybe Frightening Frank Mckay isn't as frightening as he appears to be!" she teased
They continued running and scaring each other near the bank next to the pond, Frank didn't realise he was right on the edge so when he accidently stepped back he stumbled and fell back in the water with a "whoa…whoa…WOOAAHH!" SPLASH!
Nora gasped and immediately raced over to the edge and peered in the rippling moon lit water "Frank? Frank!?" She couldn't see him all she could see was her worried reflection but it disappeared when he suddenly lunged up from underneath he water and pulled her into the water with him. (Frank could obviously swim fine since his legs worked like an octopus).When Nora came up for air she was slightly miffed and Frank just laughed like crazy. "Why you sneaky little sea monster" smirking angrily she splashed him hard causing them to have a water battle, they pretended to be crocodiles imitating biting and even spitting water at each other much to their amusement.
After a while of laughing, messing around in the water the both got out. Nora dried herself off by hovering in the air and spinning.
"Hey! Cut it out" Frank laughed as he tried to shelter himself
"You started it!" Nora replied back
Frank and Nora chased each other until they caught up with each other and ended up tumbling down a small grassy slope laughing. When they stopped tumbling they continued to laugh. Frank was on top of her, and Nora looked up into his eyes and he smiled at her with a soft gaze causing her to blush. Frank then he rolled off of her so he was lying next to her and they both sighed.
They both stared up at the star filled sky it laid over them like a black/blue blanket of glitter, a few yellow fireflies hovered round delightfully.
"You know, some things do look more beautiful at night" Nora said admiring the beauty of the night sky.
"Yeah" Frank looked at Nora lovingly "they really do" Nora then looked at Frank and then he looked up again at the sky and so did she.
"Frank?"
"Hm?"
"This may sound cliché but thank you for doing this, it really was a good idea and I have to admit this was way more fun than I thought it would be"
"Hey don't mention it, I'm glad you liked it, it If you let loose while you work then it will be a breeze. And you know what, if we carry on this scaring for about a week or 2 then you could be a scarer in no time."
Nora then sat up in thought
"Is something the matter?" Frank asked while sitting up with her, hoping it wasn't something he said
"No no its just that I came to Monstropolis to look for something new, start a new life but what has happened these last few weeks has taken a big turn for me and it's has been unbelievable." She started in a more positive tone "Meeting you, learning to scare and getting a chance to live my dream I now feel like I belong here."
Frank didn't know what to think at this point. Nora didn't really think about the next thing she was going to say but she just has to ask it.
She looked at Frank with a sweet shy expression "Why did you want to help me?"
"I..I..well err" frank stuttered nervously but then he got his bearings together "well.. because..out of all the monsters I've met, you are the most amazing let alone beautiful, you're caring you have spirit…and…and" Franks speech trailed off as Nora was staring at him with a completely enthralled, slightly shocked expression. Not once had she heard anything like that in her life, she could feel her heart beating faster and louder with every beat like a cheetah running through a thunderstorm. Her purple eyes were widened but they sparkled more beautifully than ever, Frank was lost in them, as if he was looking into the star filled sky within her eyes.
Frank was suddenly overcome by this feeling of warmth inside him, Nora's eyes closed half way while slowly bringing herself forward. Frank was drawn to her like a magnet for he too leaned forward towards her slowly. They closed their eyes in sync and felt their lips meet. It was soft, warm tender, it was like magic and bliss combined; it was perfect.
They felt is if the energy that was stored within their chests had just been released and was now rushing round their bodies like wildfire, like the kiss had just ignited both their hearts
The kiss went on for about a minute then they broke apart slowly staring into each other's eyes with loving affection. They both smiled blissfully then kissed again.
Right now Nora felt her heart could make her soar higher than her wings could ever take her. She felt like the luckiest monster in the whole city.
I hope you liked this chapter guys! They finally kissed! There will be a lot more coming but it may take some time. I just have to think the right stuff. Thank you to those who have already commented on my story it's made me happy, see you soon.
