The Monster of North Lake: Chapter 5

The four of us spen the next hour trying to come up with a way to defeat the serpent when a wolf started scrathing at the door. The others freaked and grabbed their weapons. However I reconized the lightning shaped markings on her face. I opened the door and welcomed the wolf in.

"Hey Angel." I said as she rubbed my leg. "What took you so long?" Angel transformed back into a cat and the guys lowered their weapons.

"Well excuse me! Saving your sorry but from lake monsters takes a lot out of a cat." She retorted licking her paws.

"Guys this is Angel." I said introducing them to my cat. "She's a shapeshifter."

"That explains the wolf thing." Ryan said. "Maybe Angel can take on the monster!"

Angel shook her head and I scratched behind her ear. "Sorry guys," I said. "Angel's largest transformation is a grizzly bear."

"We should get going Joe." Angel whispered. "Your mother will be wondering where we are."

I suddenly realized how late it was. My mom was used to worrying about me but that was when I was miles away from her.

"Alright guys I need to get going. We'll meet up again tomorrow." I said.

"But we still don't know how we're going to defeat this thing." Steven complained.

"Look it's been a long day guys. Maybe we'll get some inspiration in our sleep. The gods give inspiration to those who search for it."

"Fine." Steven said "Let's head home."

"Angel and I will cover you guys from the air if the monster comes back." With that we walked down to the beach. It was around seven o'clock but the sun was still high in the sky. Ryan started his jet ski and Andrew started the motor on his boat. They started down the lake and I flew into the air to follow them. Angel turned into an eagle and flew next to me.

Andrew's camp was closest so Steven had to ride with Ryan on the jet ski. Something he wasn't happy about since Ryan had his bow, and quiver full of arrows on his back. Ryan restarted his jet ski and motored down the lake. They were half way to Steven's camp when I spotted a large figure.

The monster was closing fast. I could see the horns rising out of the water. However I had prepared for this via a large rock I had picked up. There weren't many beaches on North Lake just a lot of rocks and boulders. The one I grabbed was about the size of a volleyball.

I held it in both of my hands and placed it on my hip. I concentrated and felt the winds around me. I hurled the rock forward and used the winds to blast it even faster towards it's target. Before the serpent could raise it's head fully out of the water the rock blasted it in the head the head went under with a large splash.
