Chapter 4 Tilicia Is A Captive; In Love and In Life
It was about 5:00 pm when Tilisha decided to take a look around
by herself. She jumped off the bed and turned the corner.
“Spppttt!”
“HUH?!” Tilisha turned around suddenly. “Who, who’s there?” she
asked.
“An evil lurks beyond this room.” The voice whispered.
“What? I, I can’t here you.” Tilisha whispered back looking
around.
“An evil, darker than you could imagine lurks beyond this point,
do not go any further!” Hissed the voice.
“Yeah, okay, I REALLY believe you, I can’t even SEE you.” she
replied walking on.
“I warned you. . .” Tilisha felt a slight breath of heat and then a
slight push, like someone had passed through her.
She made her way out of Paige’s room and out into the hallway.
“WOW!” Tilisha turned around and looked everywhere. There was so
much to see! So much to sniff!
Suddenly Tilisha felt a presence behind her. She was about to
turn, but she suddenly felt a heavy object being pushed into her back.
“Don’t make any sudden movements wolf!” A gruff voice erupted the
stillness and made Tilisha shudder. “Don’t move!” It said again.
Suddenly Tilicia felt a tight grip around her waist and she couldn’t
see in a matter of seconds she was being thrust up in the air.

“Hey, Duke, have you seen Talicia anywhere?” Hunter asked
coming up to his new friend.
“What? Oh, no, I haven’t seen her.” Duke replied looking out into
the distance.
“Hummm, I wonder if she decided to go exploring again?” Hunter
said more to himself then to Duke.
“What? Oh, yeah, maybe.” Duke said thinking to himself.
“Come on, we gaotta go find her. It’s already 5:30 pm and Paige
says she likes us to be in by 5:15.” Hunter replied looking at Duke.
“You do really like her, don’t you?” Duke asked his green/blue
eyes gleaming.
“No, well, maybe. . . yeah.”
“Ssppptttt!!!”
“Huh?” Hunter and Duke both spun around. They were off of the
bed now and had started their search for Tilicia.
“Ssppptttt!!! Over here!” called the voice again.
“What? Who are you?” Duke asked looking under the bed.
“NO! Duke! Don’t go under there!” Hunter hissed. Then he shrunk
down some and said quietly, “It’s eyes.”
“What?” Duke turned towards his friend.
Hunter’s eyes grew wide. “THE EYES!” he screamed and pointed.
Duke looked under the bed once again and two bright red eyes shown
brightly from the darkness.
“Who are you?--- Are you, Rip?” Duke asked.
“*Snickers* Yes, yes I am.” the voice replied.
“What do you want Rip! We know all about you! We know that
you’re mean! You attacked Hunter yesterday!” Duke growled.
“And you, Duke, healed him.” Rip growled.
Duke was taken aback. ‘How did he know my name?’
“I know more than your name Duke, I know your power, I know
what you dream about, what you think about. I am your worst
nightmare!” Rip hissed.
“NO! Leave us alone! We mean no harm! Leave us be you, you,
MONSTER!” Duke yelled.
“*More Snickers* You’re brave Duke, very brave, but I don’t have
time to deal with you right now, I have come to you on one mission
only, to help you find Tilicia.” Rip said.
“Why, how can YOU help us?” Duke asked suspiciously.
“YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME!!” Rip yelled his eyes growing a
deeper, more evil red. Two huge canine teeth shown in the darkness. It
reminded Duke of a WereWolf.
“No. No, I don’t Rip, but how can you help Tilicia?” Duke asked.
“I know where he has taken her. Follow me.” Rip said more calmly.
His eyes turned back into their normal red and his teeth shrunk back
into his mouth.
“What?---” Duke was cut off as Rip came out from under the bed
and put horror into Duke’s life. Rip was 4ft tall. He was about 3ft in
length and his face, oh his face. There were cuts and gashes all over.
His red eyes, oh those red eyes, they looked like they were all blood,
just a well of blood in those terrible eyes. Duke would never forget that
face.
“Jump on my back and I will take you to her.” He growled.

“Don’t move.” the Gruff Voice said again. Tilicia couldn’t move
even if she wanted to. She was tied up to what felt like a wooden board.
Even chains were binding her to the board and her eyes were covered
with a piece of cloth.
“I can’t move. Who are you?” Tilicia asked.
“I am your worst fear. I am The Hunter.” the Gruff Voice said.
And it suddenly hit Tilicia. . . she was going to die.
