(I don't know horses but I'm assuming that one is big?
Also, here is what that thing looks like http://romanticallyapocalyptic.com/59 http://romanticallyapocalyptic.com/art/44.jpg http://wallpaper.goodfon.com/image/320090-1920x1170.jpg)

"what the-?!" Archur exclaimed as wings popped out of the horses side, "Um, Jarvis has one of these as well," he noted with a curious nod and looked back. What he saw almost made him vomit. A massive creature with red, crab like legs and a glowing under belly. Skeletons of different animals as well as humans were attached to it by thick, blood covered tentacles and were moving towards them.

(It doesn't matter. Oh my gosh! I'm glad we don't really have monsters like that!)

"Sorry. I forgot to tell you.", Camden said. She started having another set of visions. She moaned in pain as she tryed to keep the horse in the air. After it was over she didn't pass out, but that one was worse than the last one. "We have to turn around, this is a trap. Trust me.", Camden says. "Jarvis, call your-", she threw up and grabbed her head. "Jarvis call your pegasus and get on him, I think it will be easier that way.", she said.

(He said he was going to be gone for a while... I don't think he'll be posting any time soon. And IKR? The comic series that it's in is great though.)

"Camden, please try to contain your vomit," he groaned and put his hands around her waist, "And there are no traps. The point of these nightmares is to let me know when i'm getting closer to what's causing them. There are no traps... Camden, you didn't happen to have any nightmares last night did you?"

(I heard about that series but I never read it.

"Sorry.", she grumbled. She whistled and her horse started descending down to the ground. When it reached the ground, she jumped off, grabbing her bag and bow. "Fine.", she said. "You go that way and I'll walk this way. I want to see where my visions lead me.", she stomped off toward the monster and in the oposite direction of Archur. "And no, I didn't have a nightmare last night!", she called over here shoulder.

(It's awesome. You should. The first thing the biomass says to Captain is awesome,
"You are charged with wanton destruction of union property and unauthorized removal of garments. How do you plead?"
"I am a not for profit organization.")

"Wait! You can't go back towards that thing!" Archur called but she was gone, "The Biomass! It's... going to kill... you..." he lowered his head. He wasn't going to go back towards that thing, not even for Camden. He couldn't and he started running the opposite direction, pulling Jarvis with him.

(That does sound cool. I'll tell you if I start reading it. When she says, "All I know is that I care about him and that's why I'm going this way was because her way really was a trap and she saw it in her vision and it had something to do with a sacrifice.)

"Whatever.", Camden grumbled. "Let it kill me! Does it really matter to you?", she called to him still just walking toward the monster. By now Raven was walking beside her. She got her bow and just slowly shot bows at the monster. Nothing happened but she kept shooting it anyway. "All I know is that I care about him and that's why I'm going this way.", she says quietly. She gets on Raven and sits up tall. "Let's go Raven.", Camden says, urging her terrified horse toward the monster.

A red, blood soaked skeleton dropped in front of her and held up a picture of Archur, "Produce your proprietor," it ordered as several more skeletons surrounded her, most of them human but there were some animal skeletons as well.

She stood there staring at the skeletons that had just dropped down. She didn't say anything. She just looked at them. The skeletons seemed to be getting angry with her silence so she just stayed completely silent.

"WhY dO yOu DefY Us?" the skeleton inquired as the giant crab like body stood over them, the mass of bloody bodies on its underside moaning and smiling wickedly.

"I'm not going to tell you where he is.", she said calmy. "I won't tell you because I care about him and you'd have to kill me first.", She growled. She losened her grip on her bow.As soon as she did the skeleton snatched it from her. "My bow!", she cried. "Not much without your bow huh?", a tall man walked up and grabbed her. She tried to act brave but a small scream escaped from her body as she fought against the man. He took the picture of Archur from the skeleton, "So, this is your boyfriend?" he asks. She thought for a second about saying yes then said, "No. He's not my boyfriend.", Camden says. "Well who is he?", the man asks. Camden tries to be silent but the man starts pulling her hair. She yelps and says, "Sir, I honestly don't know. I met him in the woods.", she says. "Well is that so?", the man asks. "Then I guess he doesn't need to see you one last time before we kill you." The man picks up Camden and starts to carry her away when she calls out, "What do you want from me? Why am I here?" The man just laughs. "You'll find out eventually.", he says.

"YoU! The biomass yelled at the man, "ShE is rurRoGAtE eViDEnce. You mAy nOt taKe heR," the skeleton growled and a large tentacle wrapped around his neck and pierced his body, taking control of him. The tentacles then wrapped around Camden's neck and went through her mouth and latched onto her spinal chord, "Now accessing short term memory banks," a mechanical voice whirred and the Biomass saw all of xcamden's recent memories.

She was gagging and tried to pull it out of her mouth. Then she tried screaming, "Archur! Archur!", but it sounded muffled. She gave up trying to fight it and then remembered she could talk to Raven mentally. He also had large razors attatched to the back of his hooves for protection. She sent him a message and in what felt like seconds Raven appeared. He used the razors to slice the biomass's tentacle. Luckily it came unattached from her spinal cord and she spit the rest out. She jumped onto Raven's back and they darted away. The biomass following behind. The man that tried taking her before was also chasing. He lifted his cane and shot a lightning bolt at them. Just as it hit them, Camden saw Archur and Jarvis running along the trail. Raven hit the ground hard and she slid across the hard ground, already unconscious. But thanksto the man, they were now hidden, well still on the trail but hidden.

"YoU caN nOt hIDe fRom ThE BioMAsS!" a skeletal deer moaned as a tentacle wrapped around the man, killing him and making him one with the alien life form.
Archur pulled Camden to his chest, silently crying.

Camden lay there in Archur arms, still unconscious. When she woke up she was scared, "Archur." She started crying and curled up even deeper into Archur's chest. She couldn' talk right now. She tried to stop crying and think of a short sentence to say, "Archur, the biomass is coming after you." That's all she could get out. After a moment she managed to say, "I think Raven is dead, but I'm not sure." She stayed curled up against Archur's chest. She felt safe by him and didn't want to leave his side again. She denied it to herself but deep down, she loved him. She closed her eyes and said, "We need to get away from it."

"What was your first hint that it was after me? The fact that it is something from my nightmares?" Archur grunted although he realized now probably wasn't the best time for sarcasm and he held her tightly to his chest, "Sorry," he whispered.

"It's okay.", Camden says. She has stopped crying by now. "Where are we going to go?", she asked. Moving to where she is sitting in his lap, facing him. Her arms around his neck.

"Ummm..." he was blushing bright red, "I don't know... We'll be running from the biomass until I reach my destination. If it isn't destroyed, it won't disappear... Except for the ledge, but that was different. What I wouldn't give for an orbital strike cannon right now..."

"Why are you blushing Archur?", Camden asked. She still had her arms around his next. "An orbital strike cannon? Hmm. When I was six, I saw my dad using one of those. He was shooting lava-", she was cut off because suddenly the biomass crashd through the trees. Camden screamed and jumped up, grabbing Archur's hand and took off running.

"Dammit!" Archur ran as fast as he could but out of nowhere a skeleton dropped from the trees, only it's skin removed so that you could still see all of its muscle and eyes, "Would this happen to be yours?" Raven was hanging upside down, knocked out but not dead, on a tentacle protruding from the skeletons back.

"Raven!", she screamed. Tears were in her eyes. She pushed against Archur, not sure what to do.
