Nathan froze. He turned slowly, mentally preparing himself for whatever it was. His head swivelled around first. He stopped moving.
"Oh, my god," he breathed. An enormous creature stood in front of him. It reared, raising its front legs, those of a lion and a deafening roar erupted from its bear's muzzle. It launched itself forward, deer's hooves and lion's paws shredding the ground beneath it.
(is this ok?)
(Uh sure! Gosh knows Crash has bad neighbors XD)
Luke leaped out of the way, pulling Nathan with him. "Bring it across the stream! We don't want it ruining supper!"
(yeah no kidding)
Nathan sidestepped and started running full speed towards the stream, praying for the creature to follow. It did; he heard its thunderous steps chasing him down.
It can probably swim, he thought to himself. But, not having any better choice, he launched himself into the cool water, knee deep when he heard the animal splash in behind him.
Luke climbed onto the opposite bank and sent a stone whizzing at the beast's head. "Yo, ugly! Scared to get your whiskers wet?"
(I gotta go, be back later)
(not much. By the way, do you have a specific plan for this scene, or is it more open-ended?)
(Good morning!!!! Or evening… afternoon?)
(Okay, gotcha)
"Head downstream a bit," Luke called. "Maybe we can ping-pong this guy between us until he gets tired."
I lifted my head to see Luke and Nathan trying to get some beast to the other side of the stream. I pushed myself off my stomach and stood up.
Crash heard the commotion as well and sat up abruptly. "What–oh. Oh." He scrambled to his feet and dashed down the slope, shifting into a dog and growing to the size of a truck. "GET OUT," he roared at the monster, skidding to a halt in front of it and baring his teeth.
(gotta go, be back later)
(I can’t believe it’s the weekend and I’m writing my MATHS FOLIO! Kill me)
(Awww sympathizes with I've been slaving away at a psychology report for like a week, and I'm still worried it won't be done in time. School, am I right?)
(Oh yeah, I hate maths to. I have a HASS assignment due at the end of the week, and I haven’t finished the prac or theory.)
(What's HASS? I've never heard of that before)
(History and social studies, geography included)
(Oh pff, I should have known that. I don't know where my brain is this evening XD )
(Yeah, I was up at two this morning because of something so I’m very tired. I’m currently living off chocolate to keep my brain going. BUT the clocks went back an hour so I got an extra hour to sleep!)
(Nice, that's convenient. Happy Easter, by the way! ^^)
(Thanks, and yes it is. The best day of the year…. free food)
(Well, not free but it’s still good food)
(lol yup XD It's tomorrow for us, hopefully the weather's nicer by then)
