Chapter 8
     
    The Military
Helicopter
     
    The helicopter emerged in the horizon and
swept in low across the trees, blowing up massive clouds of snow
with its powerful twin rotor blades, with loud deafening thuds
shattering the silence, and it hovered in slowly blowing snow and
debris about everywhere before landing on an area of flat ground,
where they had flattened.
    Bryson watched how startled the pilots were
at what the mission was, with their strange looks and hidden
thoughts, which he had expected with the descriptions Mitchell had
given.
    The region was desolate and a mystery, and
they had not seen there before. They soon opened the compartment
door at the rear end and removed a smaller digger, and one of the
men aboard drove it over to where they had marked where the
creature was buried under, and he soon started digging it out.
    Bryson and the two paranormal scientists had
become outstandingly famous since their discoveries at the last
castle and some of the helicopter people were surprised to see them
there, and gave more gasps at the discovery when they saw it. Yet
Bryson was not sure what would become of the creature or what they
would find it to be! They could easily end up classing it as some
new variation of some animal!
    When they mentioned the preservation
of the creature the majority of them looked baffled, and nobody
gave any proper explanation to why it had not rotted
away . It clearly had
been there for a great deal of time!
    So when
it was completely dug out and eventually lifted out into daylight
all the scientists frantically talked, studied, and
photographed it, avoiding giving much scientific explanations, and
remained interested in the study its preservation and the uses it
could have if they found something new there.
    Bryson examined it to find the best way of
killing it, if it was one of those beasts in the wood! Yet where
had they appeared from, and they were invisible and partially
invisible? So how could they handle such a thing? Would it be
impossible to kill something that was invisible? Yet could it have
killed while invisible? All the stories of encounters, which some
of them could have been from them, as well as many other things,
gave accounts of deaths! Did they fully materialize to carry out
their attacks?
    Bryson was still confused at what they were
up against. They had nothing but a monster creature, from
somewhere. Their vague examinations of its features and organs gave
little, and showed little of its natural environment.
    Yet when the helicopter was getting ready to
take off, and all the people there were discussing the creature, he
realized that they no longer believed it was one of the things in
the wood and was something else, and Merton and Mortimer had lost
interest in it completely, also thinking so, as all their
examinations of it showed it was only a new form of animal.
    The helicopter lifted off sweeping out low
and increasing its height, with its deafening thuds rattling him to
the bone, while simultaneously shattering their eardrums, making
him wonder how the pilots never damaged themselves, and realized
how much he had adapted to the deep desolate silence at the
location, and he watched it vanish into the horizon, leaving its
impression firmly in his minds.
     

Chapter 9
     
    The Exploration
     
    It was shocking
how fast they started to realize the truth and that they should
actually have left on the helicopter! When the early winter night
started edging into the region all their recollections of the night
before started emerging, and that they had not achieved their
mission of leaving the wood, and at least getting to the
castle.
    The place was
a public menace and should be marked as a danger zone and fenced
off! Even as the sun edged into the horizon Bryson saw things that
should not be there start to appear about the place, even the
ground beneath them seemed to sag like it were turning into
swamp.
    Bryson felt
like he had a sixth sense that could not
