Chapter 2-Part 3

In the thin light from moon which was shining on the bog they spotted a strange human like creature coming out of the bog. All were rooted to the spot as fear gripped them. The Bog Monsters walked on their 2 hind legs like a human but they had no features of one. Their hands and legs were slender, the legs had 2 giant claws instead of toes and they had webbed feet, their hands had three claws in the place of 2 fingers and a thumb, their skin was scaly; their belly was enormous and protruding. Their head was round and had the jaws of shark and on the back of their head were 3 horns but the strangest thing was that they had the tail of a fish. They had putrid breath which could be smelled for miles; which was like a mixture of stinking onions and rotten tomatoes.

All the students gasped in horror and a few even fainted. But most of them were frozen like ice. The worst was about to happen. Many other such creatures came out of that bog. Adam thought that they were going to be dead meat. Suddenly huge black clouds covered the moon. Now the whole swamp was plunged into darkness. They could hear dry leaves and twigs snapping and understood that the Bog Monsters were closing in on them. It couldn’t have been any student as all of them were too scared to move. Adam’s mind drew a blank as he didn’t know how to defend himself or the class from these creatures as in his Kaijudo class he was not taught any thing about Bog Monsters and he couldn’t use any other beast’s technique as they did not look like anything he had learnt about. clouds moved away and as the moon shone brightly over them, the monsters started running, they were only a few feet from the students and Ms.Amanda found her voice and shouted to her class to run as fast as they could, now the Bog Monsters started chasing them, the Bog Monsters ran pretty fast even thought they had huge bellies, there came a fork in the path and all the students went different ways, even the monsters stopped running for a moment and they too separated.

The next morning Ravi woke up very early and went to the "Library" He went to the library early but it was already open and soon he was sitting on his table again and the next book was " Everything You Need to Know-Teen Edition ." He started reading the book he found the book interesting because in the book he found information about many things he never heard about, the book had information about everything from Pythagoras' Theorem to the scientific name of Blue Whale. Ravi spent hours reading and trying to remember anything and everything he could. Then after reading the book almost till the end he reached a chapter in the book which was called-" Love " and as any other chapter he continued reading the book but this was not a normal chapter, it was very different from the other chapters because it had no formulas, no scientific terms, no nothing but just assumptions and guesses. Ravi did not understand half of what he was reading and he wondered h...

“Pooja wake up, time to go to classes”, said a voice trying to wake up the half asleep girl to which the girl replied, “Mom today's the first day of school I don't want to go to Verma coaching institute at least once“ The girl's mother was now annoyed and sternly replied, “I don’t care if it’s your first day of school or not you are not going to miss even one day of coaching classes Pandu” That was it ”Mom don’t call me Pandu I am not 7 year old, I used to like it when I was little but now it’s strange so stop it and ok ok I will get ready soon” She quickly got ready and as usual her father dropped at the Coaching Center. He then said that he would come and pick her up after the classes and went away. Pooja was already late and she was walking fast towards the steps she stopped when she heard the footsteps of someone coming quickly towards her.

As the weeks passed, the park whose plan was laid by many engineers was taking shape by the help of students and anyone who was interested in helping. Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons were spent in gardening, digging dirt, planting saplings etc. but Pooja had to make up a lot of stories to come out of her house every week which included everything from " Special Classes At School to Visiting a Sick Friend ". One such Saturday evening while she was working on the Flower Beds near the Entrance Gate, she was working without a care in the world, Ravi came and joined her and they were working so hard that they got mud spots in many places on their faces and then Ravi asked Pooja,"Hey Pooja, how is it that you manage to come twice every week while others want to skip their share of work by giving some reasons." To this Pooja smiled shyly and replied,"Well Ravi the thing is that, I have a lot of childhood memories of playing in this green lot and I didn'...
