I haven't seen my cousin in over a year now. I remember her crying as she was dragged away from me, she was screaming "run olive get out of here!" I didn't, she was right, they changed me into a air elemental. Others had been moved to another island Blake had gone with them. I hope she's safe, when the announcement bleats through the speakers I was ready to run out of my cell and through the corridors until I escaped. "Let the 23rd septennial monster hunt begin." I ran into the open and sniffed the air, I was blind but I could see through the scents I was picking up that I was near a forest. I could smell the hunters they were close and to my right. So I sprinted left. I found a hole in the ground and hid out there. Another one of us walked by panting I tugged them in and covered the hole back over. She was a franken girl, she was sewn up from head to toe. "My name is olive, it's nice to meet you." She lent in and hugged me, tears running down her face. " My name was Phoebe but I'm not so sure anymore. Thank you for Saving me." I told her what I remembered, and how I couldn't see a thing but I could smell everything.

A while later another person walked by it was a fire manipulator, I signalled to Phoebe who yanked him down by the leg. He didn't scream or make any noise until he saw us, "Who are you?" he whispered I could smell smoke rolling from his mouth. "I am Olive and this us Phoebe, I can't see except from, by smell and sound." We just stayed there until dawn then we made a run for it, we found a few people. Iguana a lizard-faced girl with grey eyes and scaly skin. Nelson a tall bulky man who was a werecat of course I could not decipher colours I would ask when I could. Quince was invisible but I could smell him, he told me my eyes were clouded over with a blue colour. Mary was a harpie, black wings and blood red lips. There were more of us but we had to find shelter, "there is a big cave over that way, it could act as a good place to hide." Nelson stated in an informative tone. I nodded we all followed him, not questioning it.

Until we saw the hunters in a circle, "I'm sorry but I had no choice they found me and I have to live for my little girl." I gasped, anger lit inside my soul like a wildfire "my cousin is searching for me, you don't think I have to know whether she is alive or not! Well I do, you are a traitor!" I screamed, to help me see my surroundings. There were 12 hunters, two for each of us. Red set 3 of them alight and threw them at Nelson. Who then ran into a forth. I barged forwards and shoved two off the cliff behind them. Quince did the same with another 4. Mary ripped two of the hunter's throats out. Iguana and Phoebe were cornered by the last two.
BANG

Iguana fell to the floor covered in blood. I felt my anger rage out of me. They were dead, killed by the weight of air crushing their throats. Phoebe leapt at Nelson and cried "this is your fault" I sighed grabbing her hand.
"he isn't worth it just leave him be, the hunters will finish him off for us." I dove to Iguana's side to help her in her last moments. "The lights are fading Olive, they are swirling in front of my eyes. I'm dying aren't I?" I knew she was right, "I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I'm here we are all here, you are going to sleep a peaceful rest that lasts forever. I'll see you there." I felt her arm drop and I knew she was gone. I took a deep breath in and carried on. "come on then, it's time lets get moving." I sighed.
We all moved away from Nelson, "Is that true about your cousin?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, her name is Blake she told me to run, I hope she is alive." I sighed. There was a shuffling in the trees, "someone is here." I whispered. We were ready,

but not ready enough because we happened to be standing in a giant trap. A rope net bag ensnared us all...
