It's night time when we wake up. Mom is waiting in the middle of the circle of tents for everyone.
"Our mission is to track down the bear that has been behind the attacks from the past couple of weeks. You will be in groups so make sure to act like one. I'll be putting you in groups with group leaders. I have already chosen group leaders and told them last night. They were chosen because you look up to them or listen to them very well," Artemis says, "Now any questions?"
"How did you choose groups?"Victoria asks.
"Mostly on abilities and how well you girls work together. If anything happens out in the field, if anything goes wrong because of you you will be suspended from missions for a while, and put on laundry duty or garbage duty. Is that clear?" Artemis asks.
"Yes," everyone says.
"Good. The group leaders are: Susie, Ruby, Sadie, Grace, Ann, Eliza, myself, and Astrid." Artemis says.
"What?!" most of the girls scream at my name.
"My daughter will lead you because you all look up to her and listen to her. Besides I know she can handle herself or she wouldn't be teaching all of you." Artemis says.
"I can't believe she's actually going out," Bella says.
"Now some of you will be staying here since it's groups of five plus the leader only." Artemis says, "Your job will be to protect the camp, hunt for food, get water and prep the med room just in case. Plus a few more. I'll assign people to those positions after I assign groups."
"Yes my Lady," the girls say.
"Team Susie consists of Victoria, Annalisa, Cassidy, Sarah, and Mia. Team Ruby: Cali, Amelia, Rose, Joyce, and Maya. Team Sadie: Marion, Ava, Vida, Eleanor, and Lucy. Team Grace: Mara, Kat, Daisy, Ally, and Caroline. Team Ann: Dana, Ruth, Bridget, Amanda, and Natalie. Team Eliza: Myah, Beth, Phoebe, Claire, and Tori. Team Artemis: Bella, Cora, Hayley, Aria, and Blair. Team Astrid: Brooke, Gabi, Azura, Gwen, and Zoe." Artemis says.
The girls get into their groups while she gives the other girls their jobs with leaders. Then we leave.
When we come to the scene of the latest murder we find eight different exit routes that the bear took.
"Each group will take one path. If the path splits off again come back here and wait for the others and we'll investigate from here if we haven't found the bear yet." Artemis says, "Go."
We separate and begin to follow the path. But it was a really bad idea. My group follows the path back to back to make sure we are not attacked from behind or anything. Finally we come to a clearing.
"We can rest here for a little while," Gwen suggests.
"We cannot hide in a clear area," I say, "We must keep moving."
We enter the clearing carefully then hear a noise from the nearby bush.
"Nobody move," I whisper.
Suddenly a big black bear steps out, it's the greek monster werebear. The bear was bigger than all of us even on all fours it must have been trying to get us off its trail and turned around to start over on another trail again. It finally saw us and rose onto its hind legs, and roars.
"Attack!" I yelled.
Brooke and Gabi began shooting arrows at it while Azura and Gwen began throwing rocks at it. Zoe and I went in and distracted the bear. The bear stepped back and grabbed Gwen.
"Gwen!" Brooke screamed.
Her scream echoed through the woods if the other hadn't heard the screams before I'm sure they have now
*** Team Susie and Ruby***(found each other at the other end of their trails
Suddenly a roar shook the forest. It must be the bear they all thought. Suddenly they heard screaming.
"One of the other groups," Susie says.
"Let's go," Ruby says.
The girls begin running back. Then hear another scream.
"Gwen!" another girl screams.
"Yep definitely them," Susie says.
"That sounded like Brooke screaming," Ruby says.
***Team Sadie, Grace, Ann, and Eliza***
Suddenly a roar shakes the forest.
"It must be the bear," Sadie says.
"Hopefully no one's in trouble," Grace says.
Suddenly they hear a scream.
"Attack!" a girl yelled.
"That sounded like Astrid," Ann says.
"They're in trouble," Eliza says.
They begin running toward the sounds. Then they hear another scream.
"Gwen!" another girl screams.
"Yep definitely them," Sadie says.
"That sounded like Brooke screaming," Grace says.
*** Group Artemis***
Suddenly a roar shakes the forest.
"The bear," Bella says.
"I wonder if one of the other groups found it," Cora says.
Suddenly they hear a scream.
"Attack!" a girl yelled.
"Astrid," Blair says.
"Let's go!" Artemis says.
They begin running toward the noises. Then hear another scream.
"Gwen!" another girl screams.
"Yep definitely them," Aria says.
"That sounded like Brooke screaming," Hayley says.
***Astrid POV (from now on they can hear all yelling)***
Brooke begins throwing everything she can at the bear.
"Remember work together!" I scream.
Then the bear's arm comes swinging down and hits Brooke sending her into the nearest tree with a loud crack(other groups can hear crack and speed up as much as they can).
"Brooke!" Gwen screams, still in the bear's hand.
Gabi begins throwing everything she can find to try to kill this bear. The bear then smacks Gabi into a tree with another loud crack.
"Gabi!" Zoe screams.
Zoe and I run over to check on Brooke and Gabi.
"Brooke has no pulse!" Zoe says.
"Neither does Gabi!" I say.
"No!" Gwen screams.
Azura runs toward the bear and attempts freeing Gwen. Which is unsuccessful. The bear throws her across the clearing into a tree. Another loud crack is heard from the impact.
"Azura!" Zoe screams.
Gwen begins stabbing the bear with an arrow. And the bear throws her into a tree with yet another loud crack.
"Gwen!" Zoe screams, "We have to do something."
"Run!" I scream.
We begin running, but the bear grabs Zoe and throws her on the ground.
"No! Zoe!" I scream
I run to her and check for a pulse. Luckily she has a pulse. I stand up and face the bear because if I don't he'll kill Zoe and my friends will have died for nothing. I begin attacking the bear.
I slid under him and shoot an arrow in his back. Then jump onto his back and begin climbing up. I reach his head and hold on. I then begin stabbing the bear. Finally I push the sword through his abdomen. The bear grabs me and throws me through the air. I see the bear fall as I fly over the trees; I begin falling miles away from the clearing and I begin wondering if I'll die, if my body will be found, who will find my body, will mom be sad? I don't know.
AN: I am so sorry for leaving it like this! I will update next month with a new chapter, unless I decide to do it later this month. Sorry!
