My name? Lance Augustus
Age? 15
Nickname? Five. 
Why they call me that? Because the mark tells us so.

"Don't be stupid, steer out of trouble, and whatever happens, stay alive." 

I really don't know why Dad always repeat those words to me everyday. I take heed of his words. Play by his rules, never dared to go against him except if it's extremely necessary.

He's all that I need to get by. Our life was ordinary. Everything was perfectly fine, perfectly normal, just an everyday routine we get used to live. But then this guy calling himself 'The Seeker' came... And he start making a mess out of my life. 

He said I have powers. - Who believe that crap?
He said I have extraordinary abilities. - Cool! I want to be Superman.
He said I was chosen. - Who? The god of newbie bullies? 
The mark of five imprinted deep into my skin proves that I am one of the TWELVE. - You sure it's not a tattoo? I firmly believe it's a tattoo. 

I never believe him. I drove him out. I did not listen. I wish I did. Maybe he could have help me. Maybe he could have save me from the trouble of falling right into their trap. I know nothing. Because of my stubbornness I lost everything. So now I'm all alone. But she stretch her hand to me. She gave me hope. She invited me to come. And I did. 

So our search began. For the remaining TEN.

They called me FIVE

Where is she now? He wondered. He was supposed to solve this case in a week. Yet his thoughts keep wandering back to that night in the forest. No. He must defeat whoever he is up against. He already have a slight grip on the situation. The beast haunting this place. And the thing that kidnaps children. Are two different things entirely.

But Sam is not sure whether they are working together or not. The people are eaten alive when they try to leave. The beast on the mountain only attacks when someone cross its territory. That's what Sam heard from Magnus some time ago. When they were on their way to Jesper.

Sam closed his eyes. Take a deep breath and recall the information he had heard so far. Children that disappears without a single sound. Grown men who try to retaliate but got eaten instead. A beast that was brought in the village out from nowhere.
