The Creature

I woke up on a Saturday morning to an annoying text. Turning to face the wall, it dings again and again and again. So I turn off my phone falling asleep again. Dreaming peacefully I see a creature like no other. It’s yelling, shouting, and running towards me. Quickly I get up running, only to wake up to a shouting mother.

Hastily dressing, I run out the door and get on my bike to summer school, the death trap of my summer. I hate this place. Sorry, if I didn’t introduce myself. “ Hi, I’m Vivian Bark.” I’m thirteen and very social. What it the break for me to end up here was the night my dad walked out on me and my mother. So ever since then, I failed two out of four classes which I love, which I never. Those classes are English literature a necessary class and then scientific mutation which is an unnecessary class but an essential one for my future. Okay getting back to my point I hate summer school.

Rushing to class I take the third row of seats. About fifteen minutes within the lesson I doze-off. Dreaming once again I see my creature. She has dark brown hair, she’s at least 10 feet, she has blue orbs as eyes, and she has this articulated amethyst in her forehead and hands. Hearing the bell I awake myself by stretching in the seat. Writing my homework I leave. During the lunch break, I sneak back home. After lunch I bike home; exhausted from the pedaling, I fall face forward on my fluffy rug.

Peacefully, I see my friend, my giant, she’s protecting me by running into danger only to be turned against me. She turns facing me like a bull with raging eyes. Getting up I run, only to awake to my angry mother. Running around the room I grab my essentials and head out the window. Pedaling quickly to the school, I run out of breath. Only to be met by the panting of my breaths to the footsteps of the principal.

Detention wasn’t completely boring, so I fell asleep. My moody giant was once again in my head. Except this dream was a blur. I awakened by a tap on the shoulder. Shaking it off, I awoke. So waking up, I think to myself, “ I’m finally charged, I have energy,”. Finishing that thought I start on my homework, then play on my phone, but doze-off, only to be awoken by the last bell. Groaning I get up and leave.

Being of coursed pushed out the door I fall only to be walked on. Getting up and dusting myself off I rush to the library but stop under a tree. Falling asleep, I see her again. Except for this time her gem is glowing in the brightness of a power. Her gem shows a creature popping out. It came attacking me, but my friend doesn’t stop her. She laughs, as I shed tears in pain and confusement. She sees my pain, only to get angry at the beast. Screaming, I wake up to terrified stand-byers looking at me. Dusting myself I head home forgetting the library. Getting home I see a sleeping mother, so I sneak upstairs to my quiet room. Changing into my pajamas, I go to bed peacefully.

Waking up to an impatient mother, that leaves without me of course. Ignoring her of course I head back to sleep. Doing nothing but laying in my bed, I see my giant again. My giant has a new friend but she’s quieter and gentle. As we talk I see my giant becomes quiet with peace but rage in her eyes. She and her friend sense something coming toward me to attack me. From behind them, hiding is me. Only sending them by surprise. Within seconds I was attacked, only sending me to scream pain, and cry since I couldn’t wake up. My mother came back in with concern on her face, I was shaken back and forth by her. I couldn’t wake up still. Finally, stop crying I wake. My mom called the school and told them everything.

Like the next day, my drunk moms' boyfriend comes home like two days later. Him being hung-over of course at like five o'clock in the morning banging through my door. He completely puked on my good slippers which I had to throw away thanks to him. Him keeping me up through that whole hour, I was tired but like fully charged worth energy. Leaving before my mom could say something I head to my death trap for peace and quiet. Picking the lock, I slide in with ease. Turning in all my assignments, I seat in the front seat of the third row. Falling into a doze I see my creature again this time she has dirty-blonde hair. red piercing eyes, and emerald green beautiful orb. Being in the mood that she is, she sends me flying across the land. With no tears, I feel strength and pain. Waking up to the sound of a screeching noise I see my teacher write my assignment on the board.

Four Years Later…….

Here I am entering college as a freshman on a genetic mutation study of biology scholarship at Howard University. Getting there with many others the new kids were split up into two groups for tours. First, we had an hour to unpack. We set-up, and decorate our rooms. After that, we would get with our groups and do these fun activities to tour the college Which was pretty fun at first but became tiring. Face planting my bed I fall asleep. Waking up at five in the morning I take a hot long shower, then eat breakfast while watching tv. Getting ready at like six I’m out the door by six- forty- five. Riding my bike to the cafe/bookstore I get-in just as they open. Buying my books with my hard-earned cash. I grab a cup of coffee on my way out. I walk to my class in less than fifteen minutes. Being early of course I introduce myself to my professor. Taking a seat on the third row I doze- off seeing my giant, she has a mixture of brown and blonde hair, a mixture of blue and emerald green orbs (eyes). She has a huge articulated garnet orb in her hands and forehead. She is destroying everything in rage and tears I see from behind. Running towards me I sit and turn my back angered at her. Only to wake up to two annoying classmates with two huge mouths. Seeing my assignment, I do it quickly just before class starts. I’m astonished at how quickly I did my work, I was impressed. After checking it over like three times, I then turn it in. My professor was shocked, yet impressed at my quickness.

Over the past few weeks, I have accelerated in all my classes. My professors thought it would be a good idea to put me in advanced courses here at the school. I never thought I would be put in these classes and here I am. Within a few weeks, I was at the top of my classes.

Here I am months later studying for an exam that could make me a genetic biologist. This test can determine whether I’m ready to take the job. This job gives me access to having my own lab, creating my own formulas and solutions, and most of all creating creatures with a matter you make yourself. This exam means everything to me.

Two Years Later …

Here I am on an expedition to find values of periodic elements, orbs, and much more. This little trip helps me make my formula for a recipe for a mutant yet to be made. It will help me create the foundation for something wonderful. Back to my point, this trip is only for undergraduates with a bachelor's degree for genetic mutation.

Within less than two hours I found every item on my list needed for my recipe yet to be made. Heading back to my small car, I drive off in the wind only to reach my lab at two o’clock, which was too late for me. Moving on of course I know I gotta get take out, so I pass my lab on the way into town. Getting Chinese takeout took forever, so I didn’t get back till two forty-five which is still too late. Huffing, I finally go in and get to work.

For hours and hours, I sit in my lab eating Chinese food while trying to come up with a formula to start my recipe. Coming up with nothing, I notice there’s one simple mistake that I made, quickly I fix it.

. Hastily I get my materials, and ingredients and begin to work. Not done until two in the morning, I think “ It wouldn’t hurt to sleep here at the lab instead of my apartment.” So I head to my apartment packing some clothes, food, and other essentials I’m back out the door. Going to my office I set my things up. In no time I’m out like a light.

Waking up to a bright morning, I begin my daily routine, finishing that quickly. I’m back to work in no time at five forty-five in the morning. Finally finishing my formula and solution, I replicate it 200+ plus times. Finally, I’ve created half my creature's body and DNA. Then I finally realize, I can only make her seven feet and she can only be made in human form. Screaming in anger at myself for my mistake, hastily I try to fix it but it was already made I replicate my formula and solution over and over again until I have the full body form and DNA. Taking DNA samples of hair, eye color, and adding my orbs I have my creature fully created in DNA.

Within less than two months I had the equipment for my creature under school privileged authority watch and help. Which, I thought I really didn’t need help but in actuality, I did for the equipment. In less than two weeks my entire recipe was put in the machine.

One day the door opened of my machine and out came my seven-foot giant girl.

“ Hi I’m Vivian your friend,” I state quietly.

“ I’m, I’m-----,” she replies.

“Your, Emma,” I quietly tell her.

“ Yes, I’m Emma,” she answers.

After a week or so I showed the school my creation they were completely freaked out by her but they were very impressed...So in no time, my equipment, me, Emma, and other things were taken to a military base.

In no time, Emma was able to change back in forth regularly between her normal and her irregular. She was useful in combat training, making smart political decisions for the military. For the time being of me on the base, I had to online college classes. The school found out so they had someone, set up my classes online for me and the program I’m accepted into.

Within a few weeks, I was able to earn my master's degree. So, of course, I had to ask for permission to be let off this base. In few days I was taken back into town for graduation. I was completely filled with joy ready to burst into happiness. The reason why is that I see both my parents sitting together in the same room which is completely shocking. They were talking, mingling with the other parents and all that stuff. My graduation was pretty long considering the time I walked out of the building.

Within the last fifteen minutes of the show, I doze- off seeing my creature, with human skin, w long beautiful hair, pretty eyes, and now a beautiful smile. Soon I was awoken by loud shouting and clapping, which made me groan. I had to take my family back with me to show them my accomplishment of something completely great. I introduced my family to Emma and I introduced them to her. Soon my family left, leaving me with Emma.

Thinking to myself, “ Wow, something, so tall and beautiful is not human but mutated. I was proud of myself for such an accomplishment. and she’s everything in a friend that I wanted completely. She has made such an asset to the military for her amazing power to destroy with her head and bare hands. So Yeah !”

After thinking of that though I took a very long nap.
