A monster?

Lacey's face went red when Silvia came out of the bushes she had covered with one of the big leaves that lay on the ground by the rock, her hair was washed and almost dry well as much washed as it could get without soap.

"Well your dress is laying out to dry." Silvia announced, walking over to sit on the ground not far away from her, she picked up a stick and started drawing in the dirt, an hour past as they waited for the dress to dry.

Lacey sat on the rock completely dry when Silvia brought her her dress and other clothes, she got dressed feeling better after the bath in the logon, they started back to Silvia's tree, moving faster than before.

They stopped short as Silva smelled the air then turned to look over her shoulder, Lacey followed her gaze. A big huge monster was the best way to describe it, come on to the path behind them.

Lacey stared in horror at the goat-like creature with long horns and a jaw full of long sharp teeth, it let out a ground shuttering growl as it started toward them at a run. Lacey stood still in shock and horror, Silvia grabbed her hand.

"RUN!" She screamed, dragging her with her as she began running, Lacey's long skirt tangled around her legs as she ran, the monster right on their heels.

The dress turned red, glowing. Silvia still had her hand as they ran down the path. Silvia dogged the monster as it lunged at them, her hand getting torn out of Lacey's. She jumped grabbing a large branch and pulled herself out of the monster's reach, leaving Lacey on the ground right in the monster's path.

Lacey stared into the black eyes of the monster stumbling as her foot caught on a root, she fell her backside hitting the ground, the monster came closer to Lacey. Silvia was nowhere in sight, the monster came even closer, Lacey could smell it's breath.

She gagged, but still stared into the eyes of the beast as it came even closer, she could see the hunger in its eyes, the monster's mouth opened showing the rows of long sharp teeth, Lacey screamed as the monster's jaw came down on her.

Red was all she could see, the monster screamed as the dress glowed bright red burning it, it roared in pain and stumbled back blinded from the light, Silvia jumped from the tree branch above, spear ready to strike, driving it deep into the monster's neck.

Lacey's eyes cleared to see Silvia over the monster laying on the ground, Lacey slowly got up dazed and she walked over to the dead monster, Silvia stood on top of it with a big grin on her face. "I killed it!" She exclaimed.

"I haven't been able to kill one of them. ever!" She laughed, looking down at the embedded spear, Silvia began pulling the spear, when it wouldn't budge. She pulled harder jumping around it pulling in all directions, when the spear came loose she went flying off the beast's body and onto the ground.

Silvia jumped to her feet holding the spear up in triumph, before walking over to where Lacey stood looking at the monster. "I can make us both clothes out of his hide!" She expressed, looking at it like she was going to do it right there right now, she smiled.

"Well let's go to the hut, I can do it later." She suggested, getting up onto the monsters body again and jumping up to grab the branch above her, Lacey sighed the monster had come to close, now she knew what Silvia had said about the island being dangerous.

She scrambled upon top the monster to better jump and pull herself up, it took a couple tries before she got up into the tree. When they reached the hut Lacey was already tired, and sank down onto the leaves, Silvia stayed outside for a while longer doing something, before she came inside.

"Oh Yeah!" She began, opening her bag. "I found this hair pin stuck in the skirt of your dress." Pulling out the flower pin. As she held it up it shuddered into pieces falling to the floor around her. "Oh No!" She cried, looking at the glass pieces on the floor at her feet, the flower disappeared, leaving only the glass pieces on the floor as a black mist started to gather around her.

Silvia stared in shock at the broken hair pin on the floor, as the black mist rose up around her, Lacey sat up staring in shock too. The mist gathered thicker around Silvia then just rushed into her with a "WHOOSH." Then it was gone.

"What just happened?" Lacey asked, standing up and coming over to Silvia. "Are you okay?" She inquired, laying a hand on her shoulder, Silvia was grateful for her hand, she felt weak and tried. "I will be fine," She answered.

Lacey nodded, dropping her hand to her side. "Maybe we should both take a nap after that whole monster thing." She suggested, going back to lay down on the leaves, Silvia nodded and headed up the ladder, her mind was in a black fog, she laid down as everything went black.

Lacey sat up again as Silvia left up the ladder, she stared at the glass pieces on the floor, it was all that was left of her hair pin Alex had given her. She looked around the room and spotted a broom in the corner, she stepped carefully as she went and picked it up.

She slowly swept up the glass onto a leaf she had taken from her bed and placed it on the table. She sat down at the table and stared at the glass shards, the moon flower gave people power or enhanced the ones they had. "So Silvia would get powers." She mused out loud to herself. "I guess it would be useful in a place like this." She thought.

"She could keep me safe." She laughed, remembering her dress glowing when the monster had attacked her, it had burned the beast's face leaving it blind, she sighed and looked down at her blue dress so what did all the colors mean? Blue? Green? Yellow? Red? Pink?...

She remembered when it had turned pink in her cabin on her fathers ship, was her family missing her? She sighed and got up going and laying down again., her mind a sea of thoughts, she drifted into a light sleep.
