Chapter 3: Monsters of the Night

Cupa's POV

I could see the smiles on everyone's face. Happiness filled the air, Pair by Pair. I felt so happy for my friends! I could just tell they liked each other, its like they found their perfect match. Except for me though, even though our newly met guys that we met are cute looking I don't "like, like" them. Its alright though I bet someone will see or notice me. But eh, I don't really care any way, It just gives me more ways to bug Lilith, Sara, and especially Andr.

I walked in the middle of the three couples, I could hear their conversation and I couldn't help but to just smile and laugh. Not just because its hilarious to hear the girls lie just to make their partner like them more, or to impress them, but to also feel happy for them. I was thinking when they will find that special guy in their lives, seamed late if you ask me! I could hear Andr and shadow talk about books and things.

"So what's favorite book?" Blue said, I overheard what he asked Andr and I immediately budged in and said "Oh that's an easy one! Andr likes those magazines with those guys that are nu-"an arm covered my mouth before I could finish. It was a baggy, black jacket sleeve, obviously Andr. I turned around and I could see Andr blushing "Shut up Cupa!" she yelled "Don't mess me up!" she said whispering into my ear. "Fine, lover girl" I replied in a whisper, I could see Blue rubbing the back part of his hair laughing. And Andr was just nervously laughing along, she then shot me an angry look, I smiled and winked back.

Zac's POV

I walked with Lilith with all the others. It seamed were close to the houses. I sighed in relief, it was only a couple hundred blocks ahead. Thank Notch! All this walking is killing my feet and legs, all I could feel was just numbness below my waist. I looked at Lilith top to bottom then back to the top, she is hot I must say. "I like your little band on your head with those spider like eyes on it" I managed to say, it was an awkward moment

"Haha Thanks" she replied with a smile. "I've always had it for some reason". Those circle thongs on her band was bright red reflecting off of the moonlight. It matched her star like red eyes… gorgeous. I was about to compliment her about another trait but then an arrow flew right pass my eyes. Time went in slow motion as I could see the arrow slowly move across my field of vision. The arrow looked poorly made and had jaggy flint tip, clearly a hostile mob arrow, a skeleton. The others noticed the arrow that almost hit my head. We looked around us, the monsters of the night has awakened.

We saw the Zombies and Skeletons appear out of the distant grey fog. I checked my watch, the meter was way passed the day and into the night, I looked up for confirmation and I could see the black sky lit up by the millions of stars that shined like crystals. How could I have not seen the night coming? And how did the others not see it too? I looked at Lilith for a quick moment and realized how pretty she looked with the stars reflection off her eyes. I shook my head to snap out of it. I realized we were just love struck, dammit, never thought I would feel this emotion. I guess there is a first for everything.

"Run!" Archer yelled. We all started running forward. "Were close to the midpoint!" Blue said between breaths. We continued to run with all the remaining energy we had. Archer and Sara was falling behind because of Sara's injury on her leg. "You guys keep running! I'll help Archer guys!" I yelled. "Ok! but don't you get hurt now!" Blue said yelling back. Hearing the yelling, Lilith stopped and turned around and came towards me. "what are you doing you need to go with Blue to get to safety!" I said "I aint leaving you behind, besides Sara is my friend" she said with a determined face. It seamed pointless to argue with her, "Fine" I replied "But be careful" Me and Lilith ran to Arty and Sara. Lilith helped up Sara and started to slightly jog towards the direction Blue, Andr and Cupa was running. " Go escort them, I'll try to hold them off!" I yelled at Arty while stabbing a zombie in the eye and ripping it out off his skull. "Right, watch yourself now" Arty then ran to Lilith and Sara.

I looked ahead off me. There was a few zombies and skeletons, too much for me to handle alone but I had to buy as much time as possible. I help my Iron short sword firmly in my hand and unsheathe my iron dagger that I made on my spare time. I noticed my blade was pretty beat up because of the previous run ins I had with the monsters. The durability of my weapons was low. I just ignored the fact and charged in duel wielding by blades right into the group. I stabbed two zombies simultaneously in the fore head and forced them down into the dirt. I then got up and slashed the one of them behind me right in the center, It stumbled back and I quickly shoved my dagger tight up its chin. The blood was allover my clothes and some got on my face even. A skeleton shot an arrow at me, I quickly dodge it and ran up to the mob and held on both sides of its ribs with a hand on each side and tore it in half. I then punched a Zombie temporarily knocking it out and did a two punch on another one making it falling to the ground, then kicked his head straight off. I stopped as soon I couldn't see another mob in sight, I was breathing hard, I then bend slightly downwards putting my hands on my knees. "I did it...finally" I said between breaths getting up. I then turned and walked two steps. Right there I felt a large spike of pain burst from my back, it was an arrow that punctured through my clothes and stabbed into my back. I turned to see a skeleton loading another arrow and started running to it feeling adrenaline surge in my body. I was immediately stopped by another arrow that hit my square in the side of my stomach. I resumed my rush, easily killing the skeleton by making a hard, solid fist and shoving it through the hole where his jaw was and it headed straight through its skull. The Skeleton fell apart and fell into pieces on the mud.

Feeling a sence of accomplishment and badassery was then short lived because of the sudden pain I felt in my body. I collapsed to the ground laying down there with a bunch of bone parts and dead bodies. "ughh...fuck" I said with a whisper. I began yelling, screaming, and cussing in pain. Blue can heal this I said to myself. With all my strength I got up moaning in pain. I must have look like a zombie, I chuckled at the thought but then laughing just made me feel more pain. I walked slowly towards the mid point. As i climbed the small hill I could see the small stone pillar surrounded with fences in a large circumference. The light shined bright from the Glowstone in the center and the torches on the fences. I walked slightly faster towards the midpoint feeling hope. Their is a medium sized house/ base that me, Blue, and Arty built just in case of emergency as a escape house, or a place to just hangout at. It is well maintained and very detailed. Looked like a mini mansion. Knowing Arty and Blue, I know they would have stayed there to wait for my return. I managed to open the fence gate and slammed it shut when I closed the gate, it was a close second, I could see the zombies tried to go through the gate but they were too dumb enough to know how to enter. I limped my way towards the door and tried knocking with my bloody knuckle

Blue's POV

I heard a faint knock on the door, I rushed to it as fast as I can hoping to see that it was Zac, everyone else was just sitting down In the back looking at the door and me. I opened up the door and saw Zac with blood on his face and looked weary. "Shit dude, you showed those mobs who's boss" I said joyfully. He looked at me and gave a small but weak smile, then out of no where he fell on his side on the ground and blood started to ooze out of him. I noticed two arrows punctured him on his back and front sides of his body. in an instant I carried him and brought him down to the emergency lab I had set up in the Midpoint house. I gave a quick look behind me I could see everyone's face in shock and fear. I laid him down on one of the lab tables and brought out my medical tools and potions. I used a numb shot so he couldnt feel that much of the pain. Even though I can work under pressure quite well, there are still things that just exceeds my limits. I started to sweat and my hands started to shake. I noticed everyone behind me watching...in fear, and filled with sadness, especially Lilith.
