The Monster Exorcist Ch6

Chapter 6

 

I followed Katie to the edge of town where there was nothing but trees. We ran until the cement path became dirt and pebbles.

I thought she would have heard my footsteps pounding behind her, but she was too engrossed in her destination. Every now and again she would pull out her cell phone and quickly glance at the screen before dashing off again. 

We kept running until I could hear the voices of the other exorcists from somewhere beyond the trees.

“I don't know what you're waiting for, let's just attack now,” came the obnoxious voice of Isaac.

“No, we should wait for it to make the first move, we don't know what we're dealing with,” said Tyson.

“You're just scared because the last one took a chunk out of your arm,” Isaac replied.

Katie picked up speed and I wasn't far behind, within a matter of seconds she burst through the trees and was out in an open field. I decided things would be best if I didn't draw attention, so I hung back and hid myself behind a bush. I pushed the branches apart and peeked through the leaves to get a better view. The rest of the exorcists were already there. Tyson, Nina, Annie, Isaac, Kurt, and Laurence were gathered around in a circle staring at something I couldn't see.

Monster Exorcist 2 Spoiler

 

 

Here's a page from my notebook for The Monster Exorcist 2. I've been writing out as much as I can during my breaks a work and I'm almost drowning in all my written notes. It's hard to keep up with them. Now what could have possibly happened to Akito?

The Monster Exorcist New Cover Design

 

 

I recently changed the cover design to something which I think better reflects my story. I've gone for a teenage boy with a Japanese shine in the background which is a combination of Creative Commons pictures that I managed to find on Flicker.

 

I'm okay with a pencil so I originally attempted to draw Michael with the other exorcists in the back ground, but my coloring skills left him looking like an old man.

 

I wanted a look more like the current picture since last year but I had very little faith in my paint shopping skills. I did a lot of graphic design and image editing as a teenager, so I decided to jump in and give it ago while trying to remember my long forgotten skills. I think that the current design looks professional and I am very happy with the results. Please feel free to write any comments about what you think below.

The Monster Exorcist Ch5

I discovered there were seven exorcists at school. There were Isaac and Annie, who were both in my class. Kurt (the big guy) and Laurence (the awkward one with curly hair) were both in second year. The blonde girl Katie, and Tyson (who seemed like their leader) were both in third. Nina was also in the third year. She wasn't at school the day I met the other exorcists, but I saw her once in the hall. She looked a lot like Sis, but I'll tell you more about that later.

Everyone seemed to find Laurence annoying, but he was the only one who was willing to tell me anything. Whenever I talked to the others they'd freeze up and tell me to go away, but Laurence let the secrets spill like there was no tomorrow.

“Monsters are animal spirits which live in the natural world,” he explained to me.

“I know that already,” I said while remembering the stories Grandpa told me as a child. “What else?”

“Hmm, monsters usually pretend to be different animals and then transform back into monsters and eat humans. Lots of murders are actually done by monsters instead of people. No one thinks that the cute kitty they find on the street is going to eat them when their back is turned.”

“I knew it!” I didn't feel so stupid anymore for treating every animal with caution as a child.

The Monster Exorcist Ch 4

Everything soon fell into place on the third day of school. I remember it as the day I discovered my life was a lie, and the countless secrets which had been hidden from me by my adopted family, finally came to light.

It all began when Isaac decided to approach me. We hadn't directly spoken since the first day, so I assumed he didn't have the guts to face me. I finished my lunch only to look up and find him hovering over my desk like the grim reaper looming over a deathbed.

“Can I have a word with you?” He asked.

I turned around to say look at this guys, Isaac wants a word with me, until I realized this wasn't middle school anymore and my friends had all abandoned me to go to different schools instead.

I suppressed the feeling of being friendless, and rose to follow Isaac as he left the classroom. I wasn't surprised when he failed to start-up a colorful conversation, so I decided to ask the one thing I'd been dying to know.

“So what's going on with you and Annie?” I asked.
