A SILVER HOPE
CHAPTER ONE:
INTO THE DARKNESS....
The full moon shone brightly down on the forest floor as all seemed to be silent and all animals asleep. Suddenly
a girl tumbled down a hill and looked up at the moon, she was wearing strange clothing, and looked like she had been
living in the wild for a while. Her eyes shone like the moon, and had a glint of something almost wild, almost as if she
wasn't even human. A soul of a creature of the night trapped within the body of a weakling of a human, and only during
the full moon would the true intentions of this creature would come out. There was a rustling noise and the girl turned
to see two pairs of glowing gold eyes stare at her from the bushes. Like the wind, the girl took off and the creatures
chased after her...at first she was terrified and thought that she was going to die, but then she noticed the creatures
were wolves, and as more wolves began to appear she realized they were running with her, not after her. She felt free
and safe as she ran threw the forest with the wolves, she didn't understand what was happening at first, but she heard
loud shouting like angry men...and she tried to look around to see what was happening, but she didn't see anything.
The girl came to a stop when she came face to face with a beautiful white wolf, it had pure blue eyes, and stood looking
at the girl. She was over come with a great sadness and she couldn't understand why. next thing she knew it, she was
falling threw the air and she saw that there was a arrow in her chest and the pain was over whelming...she wanted to
scream, but nothing came out. then an evil and sinister cackle rang threw the air and the girl found herself surrounded
by shadowy figures, each had glowing eyes....but none helped as she bled to death, she felt cold and alone...it was the
feeling of death...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Holly sat up like a shot, she was in her bed and was breathing deeply...she looked around the dark room
expecting to see a shadowy figure, the only thing she saw was her friend Ali sleeping on the floor, or she was until Holly had
screamed.
Ali: What's going on!?
Holly: I'm sorry...ali...I had a nightmare.
Ali: Did freddy get you?
Holly: um...no...but...
Ali: do you know what time it is?
Holly: no...do you...
Ali: too early...
Holly rubbed her chest as it still ached badly, she knew that there was no way she could get back to sleep now. she got out
of her bed and threw on her giant sweater.
Holly: i'm gonna make some tea, want some?
Ali: sure.
Holly: okay, I'll be right back.
Ali: like I'm going to go anywhere.
Holly: you never know.
Ali: yes we do...with your hell hound running around.
Holly: right.
Holly ran up the stairs and heard Ali lock the door, she knew that it was the best as Rolly would start to wonder around
and probably want out. she was pouring the hot water when her mum came around the corner and made Holly jump, the two
looked at each other in silence for a minute.
Mum: jumpy...what are you doing up?
Holly: um...tea?
mum: riiiight...holly!
Holly: what!?
mum: what happened?
Holly: huh?
mum: your shirt....
Holly looked down to see that there was dark blood stained all over the front of her shirt and that there was a small hole
in the center of her chest...she looked horrified. and began to shake, almost breaking the tea pot...
Holly: just like in my dream...
Mum: dream...what...dream?
Holly gave her mum a quick reveiw of her dream and wished she hadn't as her mum looked very thoughtful and wondered
if she was going to thrown in a mental ward or something. the dog began to bark and Holly turned to let the dog in.
Holly: c'mon rolly.
mum: ...it's time...
Holly: what?
mum: what?
holly: you just said something.
mum: I did?
Holly: yeah, you said, it's time. time for what?
mum: for us all to be legally labled insane.
holly: that should have been done a long time ago.
mum: well...try not to wake anyone else...
holly: can we sit up?
mum: no!
holly: uh...i'll just take the tea pot and go down stairs...
mum: sounds good.
Holly grabbed the jug of milk and tea and slowly walked down the stairs, she wondered what was up with her mother and
decided it was because kira had gotten hurt at school a couple of days ago, and it was scary for everyone. Holly and Ali had their
tea and slowly drifted back to sleep.
Ali and Holly were walking down town for a better thing to do, they hadn't heard from chris for nearly a month, this
usually didn't surprise them, but this time felt different. every once and a while it would seem like they would have an encounter
and thought that maybe chris was trying to contact them. they thought up every theory possible, up to and including him being
abducted by space aliens. though that one was less likely. now they just walked and wondered, no one had seen him, not even
Brent who usually had some news about chris, but he was wondering if chris had skipped town or something.
Holly: maybe he stepped into a portal and is lost in another world.
Ali: or maybe he's just lost...
holly: hmmm...sub zero kidnapped him!
ali: um...right...
suddenly Jeremy appeared out of one of the comic shops and waved the two down, in his hands were about a hundred
comics, the girls looked at Jay like he had just grown a third eye.
Jeremy: all inuyasha is half off!
Ali: really!? cool.
Jeremy: well, i kinda bought everything...
Holly: wonder why chris hasn't shown up.
Jeremy: shrugs next anime club meeting is tonight, you both coming?
Ali: you know I am.
Holly: yeah, I've gotta go home for a while, but I'll be back later...so, i'll see you there.
Jeremy: oh good. well, I've got to go. see you guys later!
both: Bye!
They continued on for a while, soon they were at thompson park mall and holly pulled out a pocket watch and checked
the time.
Holly: I should head home, sigh...but I'll see you later.
Ali: for sure. bring your deck...and maybe some paper, I think we may be doing some more drawing today.
Holly: okay...keep safe!
Ali: you too!
Holly: Laters!
Ali: bye!
Holly lept on the bus just as it was leaving and sat at the back, she was just pulling out her disc man when she noticed a
man with black hair eye balling her, he was really creeping her out. and she decided to keep an eye on him as she knew a girl
in vancouver who was attacked by a pervert on a bus. but it was day time and the bus was some what crowded, she just hoped
the guy didn't decide to get off the same stop as her, like the last weirdo who looked at her like that did. she really was getting
fed up with dirty men staring at her and swore the next guy to even think it would get a good boot up the butt. but she really
didn't want to dirty her black pirate like boots.
when Holly got in the house she noticed that no one was home, which was odd as they were all sappoused to go out for
an early dinner...she was a little more then upset as she could have stayed down town and hung out with ali some more. Now she
was stuck at home wondering what to do next.
Half ways threw a pot of Kraft Dinner, she noticed a little note posted on the wall and decided to look at it, even if it turned out
not being for her.
"Gone, shopping, be back later. stay around the house. we saw a bird crash somewhere in the forest, but we couldn't
find it...can you go and see if you can save it before something eats it or a kid kills it. love you lots. mum,dad,kira,rolly,and yang"
Holly finished her food at top speed, grabbed her sweater and pulled on her black boots and grabbed the keys to the house
before dashing down the drive way and up the hill into the forest. For an hour straight all she did was look around for any sign
of a hurt bird or any blood or kids being insanely cruel as they usually were to poor creatures like birds. she then decided that
it had probably gotten to safety or something and decided to just wonder, she hadn't been in the forest for a while and needed
time for a good walk in the small patch of wilderness. She was zoning out and enjoying just being alone when she thought she
saw a flash of something red and white, it scared her, so she bent low to the ground...
holly: probably just a kid riding a bike or something...
She stood up and turned to see a cute little creature looking at her, it looked like a small fox or cat...it tilted it's head as
holly forze as she didn't want to scare it away, it began to chrip at her, and that threw her off...what kind of foxy cat thing chriped?
maybe it was a new species, either that or she was seeing things and there wasn't anything there.
holly: hey there...what are you...you're a cute little thing...
the creature chriped once and lept onto holly's shoulder, she was afraid now, it might hurt her and she didn't know if it had
a disease, if she did get bitten she would have to take a bus to the hospital and by that time it could be too late. however, the
creature began to purr and rub against holly's face, she was able to grab it and hold it in her arms...it looked like it was smiling at
her...
Holly: you look like the Dash...your soooo cute!
the creature suddenly grabbed holly's bracelet and took off, holly chased after it...
Holly: Hey! give that back! hey! that's mine! theif!
She was barely able to catch up with the small creature as it ran pretty fast, however, it seemed to come to a stop on the
old tree stump that was dead center in the forest. Holly smirked as she put one foot on the stump to grab the creature...
Holly: caught ya!
But something was wrong, everything seemed to go in slow motion and suddenly Holly found herself falling down a dark
tunnel, she had no idea what was going on, but she hoped someone found her and soon. suddenly holly saw a bright light and
it was the way out...the light blinded her as she felt herself land on grass...
she sat up and rubbed her eyes, once her eye sight had come back, she saw that she was at the foot of a great big tree, it was
thick and obviously very old...she then got up and saw a river, where was she? A small squeek made holly turn to see the creature
laying on it's side...she rushed to it's side and saw that it's long tail was stuck under a heavy rock.
Holly: hold on...ugh...on the count of three pull your tail...one...two...three....
Holly was able to lift the rock for only a few seconds, but it was long enough to free the creature and it lept on to her
shoulder and nuzzled her in thanks. it then offered her watch back and holly smiled and took it.
Holly: your not such a bad little thing...do you have a name?
the creature shook it's head no, it amazed holly that it even understood her...she smiled as she knew that this thing whatever it
was, was not a normal animal...
Holly: How bout I call you...Spirit, cuz you sure have alot of it. do you like that?
the creature purred loudly and rubbed against holly as she held it in her arms, they were standing staring at the river for a while.
Holly: so...is there a way across that river?
something grabbed holly around the middle and she screamed as she found herself being tossed threw the air like a rag
doll...She clutched Spirit tightly as she closed her eyes and landed roughly on the ground. she heard something breathing
deeply at her and slowly she opened a eye...standing over her stood what appeared to be a man in funny clothing holding a long
stick with a sharp point... it was a spear...and he was going to kill her...........
