Once there was a little town called Atlantos. It was a happy town except one thing. There was a cave in the mountain side and who ever went in never came out. This thing was very big; everyone looked like a mosquito to this thing. The thing that lived in this cave was indescribable; it was half man-half lion. It came out every New Year, ate as many people as it wanted and went back to its cave.
One year Narangi and Chaya were on vacation and they came along the town of Atlantos. It was December the 30th. Every one was panicking wherever they went.
"What is going on?" asked Narangi.
"Well," said a young lady, "every year this monster comes out of its cave and eats at least 50 people, and we're all trying to find safety so he won't eat us.
"Well," said Chaya, "what does this monster look like?"
"It is half man-half lion" said the young lady.
Narangi and Chaya eyed each other. It just happened that Narangi was a vampire and Chaya was a were wolf. "Maybe we can stop him," said Narangi and Chaya at the same time.
"Oh, that would be so wonderful, but how will you do it. I mean, you can try, but I doubt you'll be able to do it. "But you can try," said the girl, a little scared after she thought about it.
So the next night, Narangi and Chaya went to the cave. Now you may say, "Why at night?" Well, because that is when the monster is most tired and weak. But there was a problem. It was the full moon and Chaya could easily turn into a werewolf and attack Narangi. When they reached the cave, they heard a loud roar and then they heard a very deep and loud voice that said, "Who dares enter my cave?"
"We," said Narangi. "Chaya and Narangi. You know us; we used to be friends.
"Come in," said the monster.
Now Narangi and Chaya didn't actually know the monster, they just had to come in some way without it knowing that they were some random people so that is what they did.
When the monster saw them, he roared out and said, "You are not my friends, and for lying to me you shall die!" As he reached out to get them, it just happened that actually the monster was afraid of vampires and werewolves. That was because werewolves were so much stronger then he was. And he was scared of vampires because he was worried they would suck his blood.
Meanwhile Narangi and Chaya were completely invincible at that moment the full moon came out of its hiding place and shined on Chaya! There was a loud screechy scream. In place of Chaya was a large werewolf! She had wolf legs and no clothes on. For instead of clothes, there was hair!
Narangi quickly ran no hope of beating the werewolf. There was no chance of surviving.
The monster quickly leapt on Chaya. However, instead of Chaya dying, the monsters head was chopped off! He was now a thousand little pieces!
Then all of a sudden, the walls creaked open and out crawled little skeletons - they were the monsters servants!
Every time Chaya or Narangi would kill them, it would make some kind of colorful tornado and bring itself back together.
Finally, Narangi went right in the middle of the circle, and broke all the bones at the same time. "Dead!" she cried out but two things happened. At that moment, all the bones made a little tornado and made one huge skeleton.
"Help!" Narangi cried out but there was no hope for it .
Chaya leapt on Narangi.
"No!" gasped Narangi.
But it was too late. Chaya already killed her.
Then Chaya turned on the skeleton. She broke all the bones and burned them till they were ashes.
When Chaya turned back to human, she saw Narangi's body laying there. Chaya ran away and she was never seen again. She did not even stop by the town again, but surely they would know soon the monster was slain.
"Where could she be?" you ask. No one knows. But I know. In fact, she wrote this book. Yes, I am her.
