his wavy hair was a deep red that framed his eyes but he didnt seem to have noticed its color change or to care .

he was wearing an all black layered tunic and pants with boots that looked as light as mine .

if i didnt know it was jason , i would have taken a huge step backwards at his assassin-like appearance .

whats going on ?

he demanded , eyes flickering from each of us as he took in all of our strange appearances .

dont know jason , were as stumped as you .

i said .

he bit his lip and then smirked .

oh , i almost forgot .

look at this .

he gestured at his belt , grinning mischievously .

hanging there were a multitude of thin , dangerous looking knives .

he pulled up his sleeve so i could see another one strapped there .

cool , huh ?

emily had turned to see jason appear .

she spotted his knives and groaned , stomping her foot .

aw come on !

jason whispered behind his hand to seth and i. whats up with her ?

seth shrugged .

i dont know .

girl issues ?

i heard that !

emily said angrily .

thats when suddenly a hideous creature appeared in front of us .

it was hunched over , with thick furry skin and wicked claws that shot out of its curled paws .

we would soon know them as thrashers , beasts we would get used to seeing .

i dont know who screeched louder in fear , but im pretty sure it might have been me .

seth pulled his sword out but his hand shook like mad .

i clumsily pulled an arrow out of the quiver on my back and struggled to attach it to my bow .

how the heck did those people in movies make this look so easy ?

i exchanged a look with seth , but he looked as clueless as i did .

none of this felt real .

i swear , the creature laughed at us .

or maybe my fear was making me see and hear things .

jason moved silently to stand beside us , one of his throwing knives in his hand .

what do we do ?

were dead so it cant hurt us right ?

i asked .

i dont feel dead .

jason whispered .

i didnt either .

in fact , i realized that my whole body was aching from the strange attack i had experienced .

and if i was dead , i wouldnt need to breathe so heavily .

my heart was racing so fast that it might explode right out of my chest .

jason threw the knife he had been holding and it stuck into a tree .

he grinned at me and i guess it hit exactly where he wanted .

on the count of three , we attack with everything weve got .

okay ?

seth looked at jason and i .

we nodded at him .

one , two three !

when seth hit three , he charged with his sword .

i pulled back and released my arrow .

it hit the thrashers front paw .

before i could think , i had notched another one on the bow and drew back the string .

it was like i had been an archer my whole life .

jason threw knife after knife , hitting its mark every time .

when the creature went down , seth stood and took a breath .

then another tackled him to the ground .

i didnt know what to do and jason didnt either .

emily ran forward and pointed to seth who was clawing toward his weapon .

do something !

she screamed .

before i could reply , fire shot from her finger .

the thrasher yelped and jumped off seth and ran toward emily .

she smiled wickedly and held both hands out , pelting the creature with fire .

i pulled seth up in time to see the thrasher buried entangled by roots shooting from the dirt .

jason threw a knife in the pile to make sure it was really dead .

you okay ?

i asked seth , and congratulated emily on her new found talent .

im fine .

he said and limped over .

i gasped and pointed to his leg .

seth , youre bleeding blue !

he just blinked at him , glancing down at his leg .

he didnt answer as he tugged at me to start walking back towards where we had last seen ourselves .

we could still see our bodies sleeping peacefully , but this time i noticed that we were all faintly glowing blue .

i could see the rise and fall of my chest as i breathed .

so i really was alive , which made this situation even creepier and stranger .

i had two bodies !

how was this even possible ?

what do we do ?

seth , do you any ideas ?

she frowned when he didnt answer .

seth ?

emily spun in a circle but seth was nowhere to be found .

seth walked out from behind a tree .

but he was normal seth .

he had his dirty blonde hair back and was wearing his dirty jeans and shirt from school .

no dark red hair , no glimmering sword , no bleeding wound .

his warrior self was nowhere to be seen .

seth howd you do that ?

i asked .

he whirled around .

whos there ?

me , you idiot !

i snorted .

he stared at the place where i was standing , but his eyes werent focused on me .

jazell ?

obviously , are you blind ?
