Haunted

Chapter II

A storm was coming. My people were setting up in the dark caves of outside Shuggazoom. We were preparing to search in downtown Shuggazoom. It used to be Sprx's favorite place... Snap out of it Jin May! They're gone. Never to see the light of living again...

I felt a tear caress my cheek. I quickly wiped it away, Overlord Skeleton may be watching us... If he were to discover that I lo-... No. He's gone.

I looked up at the cloudy sky. The clouds were gathering. A clash of thunder and lightning announced the storm's arrival as the rain started to pour. I quickly ran to the shelter, taking the temporary safety provided for the few of us. They welcomed me in. I joined them at the warm, soothing fire, forgetting my sorrows for a moment. I smiled at a young girls presence as she walked in, carrying a few dry sticks.

"Auntie Jin May, I found only few pieces of firewood, is that okay?" I smile and nodded as the girl started to rush towards the fire. The older boys were finding some food to eat outside. Shuggazoom bless them, they were all wet yet they sacrifced their comfort for others. I heard their footsteps walking into the cave as they brought in the food.

"It was a success! Look at all of these herbs and rats we found Jin May!" My eyes scaprkled with deleight as I set my eyes onto their catch.

"Very good boys, now come to the fire and get warmed up, me and the older girls will make dinner. But be sure to support little Kat and Grandpa Walkers, okay?"

"Yes, Jin May," they all started scurrying towards the fire as I started to walk towards another part of the cave. The young girl who helped get the firewood followed me.

"Auntie Jin May, can I help too? I helped with the firewood! Please?" the little girl looked up at me with longing eyes. I looked down at her with sympathy.

"No, no little Kat, Grandpa Walkers need you around remember?"

"But the boys can take care of him! Pleeeease? Can I help too?" I finally gave in to her pleads. She was right.

"Okay, but you have to promise to follow the rules, okay?"

"Okay!" Kat grabbed her ragged jacket and followed me. Kat was a girl with short black hair and shining blue eyes. She wore tan sandals and an orange tank top with ragged white short pants. She reminded me of Chiro alot. She started to tell me about her 'journey' to the sacred firewood.

"First there was like this huge monster! And bot I took care of him alright! Then meteors flew out of the sky! I narrowly dodge them and a punched them it outer space! Right outta the sky! The boom, pow! I defeated the evil formless monster guarding the firewood! Whoosh!" She started displaying motions showing how she defeated the 'monster'. I shook my head. Kids these days... "And then I snatched the firewood, riding an enchanted dragon back here! And that's how I got the firewood! Wasn't that cool Auntie Jin May!"

I nodded my head, "It sure was Kat. You're so strong!"

"You got that right Auntie! You should've seen me!" Before I could answer, we were with the girls. They greeted me and Kat with some 'Hello's and 'Hi There!'s.

"Girls, the boys got a big load of food tonight, and little Kat here's goign to help us tonight, is that okay with you all?" I saw them nod their head furiously. "Well then let's begin! Anna, Marie, you take the herbs, chop them up if you will. Rachel, Lily, you clean the rats. Abby, Sarah, you get to chop up the meat, me and Kat will start the fire and help out wherever we can. Is that clear soldiers?" They laughed and said "Yes." and got to work.

"Kat, can you got get some of that firewood you brought in? Please?" I quietly asked her.

"Yes Auntie Jin May!" I watched as she ran off to the other part of the cave. When she got back the girls were already preparing the meat. I smiled to myself at how efficient they were. We started the fire and started sticking the food onto a stick. Therefore making kebobs. When we were finally finished, we took our evening meal to the others and started to eat. The thunder was now booming more than ever. Kat huddled close to me, starting to shake with fear.

"Don't worry Kat, just count the seconds between the thunder and lightning. Every second counts for a mile. Try that, okay?"

"Okay," lightning flashed. "One...Two...Three...Four...Five...Six...Seven..." Boom! The thunder crashed again. Kat smiled. The Skeleton King's fortress was seven miles away from here. Everytime the lightning came however, the seconds between started getting closer...

"One...Two...Three..." the thunder boomed. Kat was scared again.

"It's okay Kat, nothing going to hurt us here-" suddenly a boy rushed into the room, screaming. "What is it Rob!"

"FORMLESS!"

I got up and ran towards the exit, standing still, mouth agapoe when I got there.

An Army of Formless was heading our way, and there was nothing to stop it's path.
