they were running away from something.
    Soon the roar of rushing water filled their ears as they neared the waterfall. Damon saw the waterfall just off the path and slowly walked towards it. He inched closer, trying to look over the waterfall. Mona grabbed his hand and slowly followed. They both looked down at the fifty-foot drop and slowly stepped back.
    A loud splash behind Damon and Mona sent water soaking their backs. They both turned around to see Jason. His pupils were glowing bright red, his face filled with rage. Damon knew something was wrong and he tried to pull Mona behind him. “Get away from her!” Jason screamed as he thrust his fist forward, hitting Damon in the chest.
    The blow lifted Damon off his feet, sending him flying over the waterfall into the water below. “Damon!” Mona shouted as she watched him fall into the shallow water below. “You monster! How could you!”
    Mona balled up her fist, throwing her first punch ever. She hit Jason as hard as she could in the stomach. “Ow!” she hollered—punching him felt like punching a brick wall.
    Jason reached out and grabbed Mona around her neck. He gripped her firmly as he lifted her into the air. He slowly walked forward as she hung helplessly. Hanging over the edge of the cliff, she just looked into his eyes and choked out, “Why?”
    The red in Jason’s eyes flickered for a second before he answered, “Because I have to. My master commands it.”
    Jason pulled her closer, but as he was about to throw her over the edge, he loosened his grip and Mona spoke to him. “You are stronger than this. Don’t let him control you.”
    The words cut right through Jason and he froze in his tracks. His eyes flickered red before finally returning to their natural brown. He smiled, and then he looked down at her as he set her down and said, “You’re right. Thank you.”
    When Jason turned around he found himself face to face with the doctor. The doctor sighed, “Another failed experiment.”
    The doctor reached behind his back, pulling out a silver dagger. He shoved it into Jason’s stomach. Jason clutched at the dagger but the doctor just put his boot into Jason’s chest, sending him falling over the cliff. “I’ll show you how to kill, son,” the doctor taunted.
    Mona had just recovered from Jason choking her when the doctor grabbed her by the throat, squeezing even harder than Jason. She started to panic; she could no longer breathe. Struggling to get free, she could feel the blade taped to her back coming loose. She tried to reach for it but it had fallen right in the middle of her back where she couldn’t quite reach it. The more she wiggled, the more the tape peeled away. She struggled until she felt the blade come loose, as it fell into her hand. She stopped struggling as she drove the blade deep into the doctor’s forearm. The doctor just laughed, “Aww, poor child, did you think that tiny blade would save you? It’s too bad for you I don’t feel pain.”
    Mona grabbed the blade, yanking it out of the doctor’s bloodless wound. She stabbed the doctor in the pit of his elbow. His strength disappeared from his hand as she fell to the ground, rolling dangerously close to the cliff. “Yeah, but you still have tendons,” she taunted.
    “You bitch!” the doctor screamed. “It’s a good thing I only need one arm to kill you.”
    The doctor lunged at Mona with his good arm. Just when he was about to shove her off the cliff, there was a flash of blue light and his arm fell to the ground.
    The doctor and Mona looked up to see Damon standing there soaking wet, his sword ready to slice the doctor in half. The whites of his eyes had turned blood red. The doctor flung his bad arm upward to block as Damon swung. The blade glided through doctor’s arm like it wasn’t even there. The doctor fell onto his back, his cauterized stubs flailing around as he struggled to get onto his feet. Once on his feet, the doctor had the strangest look on his
