Vacuum- The First Quarter

Sunday, 18th May 2008: The crew was strapped in the command module of the spaceship and the ship was in launch sequence sharp at 0900 hours. The commander and mission control collaborated by a final systems check. The systems were a go and the final countdown began. 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 We have lift off…

The largest possible rocket thrusters filled with aviation fuel spurred to life and with a dense cloud of exhaust gases, the spaceship was launched towards outer space. When they reached the outermost layer of earth’s atmosphere, the rocket’s parts were slowly detached from the ship and finally after the detaching sequence, the ship was functional on its own power source.

The ship had been launched into the correct path towards the Alpha station which was the first quarter of the mission. Everyone unfastened their seat belts and could finally move to their stations. The ship specialists ran their routine checks. The mission specialists were debriefed by David and Linda on the final mission plan. On the night of 19th May, all the crew members except David and Linda (who were talking home via the secure communications channel that now came standard with every space travel machine) were sitting together in the command module and talking to each other about previous missions.

All of them knew about the tragic death of Major Daniel but only some of them knew that David, Linda and Sarah were on that mission with Daniel. Deborah was one of them so she asked Sarah about Daniel’s death. Sarah told everyone about the tragic incident.

The Mystery of the Creepy Island – The Full Moon Night

Two nights went away just like that. Everyone was helping Natasha to cope up with her loss. She couldn’t take it. Her brother was gone. Just like that. Natasha and the others were now ready for the task at hand. Saving Dazz. Natasha said, “So when is the full moon night?”

“According to my calculations,” said Luthor, “It is tonight.”

“Tonight?” said Rachel, “How are we going to find this Doctor?”

Luthor said, “We won’t find him. He will come to us. Even if he has a human in him, he’s still an animal. He craves for human blood. We can leave some blood as bait.”

“Great idea darling. But where would you bring so much blood from?” said Natalie.

Natasha said, “I think we have abundance of blood in us. Even if we give out a few glasses, it won’t make us weak.”

“Okay then it’s decided. Before the moon comes up we are killing the doc.” said Luthor.

Luthor went behind the house to fetch all their weapons. They were gone! Only the silver sword was there. He brought it back and said, “The weapons are gone. I think the doc took them all behind our back. He couldn’t touch the sword though because it didn’t have any covering . He would have had a direct exposure to silver. So this means we only have the sword.”

Their plan was ready. It was night fall. They could hear a growl. Natalie, Natasha, Rachel and Rajesh were in the hut. Luthor was down near the blood but in hiding. They heard some animal running towards the blood. Luthor was ready to attack. It was a werewolf. Luthor attacked but the werewolf dodged and converted back to human. It was Dazz. He said, “Hey man watch it!”

Luthor said, “Go and hide somewhere. I’m waiting for your creator.”

“Good idea. I’ll go upstairs and protect the guys.”

There was growling and running again. This time it was definitely the doc. As the doc entered. Luthor stayed in hiding. He knew that as Dazz caught him, the doc would too. So not ruining the element of surprise. He came up from the back. The moon had already come up but it was blocked by clouds. He had very little time left. As he made his move the doc heard him and turned around. He picked him up and the sword fell from his hand.

Dazz was watching from the hut had to do something. He ran down, transformed and pushed the doc. The doc let go of Luthor and went towards Dazz. Rachel couldn’t stand it. She ran towards the doc, picked up the sword and came in between the doc and Dazz. She used the sword and put it right into his mouth.

Luthor got up and ran upstairs. Dazz saw what happened. The clouds were out. They were too late but nothing was happening to Dazz. He was perfectly human. It was someone else. As the doc fell down defeated, he bit Rachel and a bite doesn’t need the moon. She became the monster and growled. Below her was Dazz, her beloved.

But she was an animal now. An animal with the hunger of the human heart. She picked Dazz up. The others quickly ran towards the shore. While they were going, Rachel pulled Dazz’s body apart. She tasted his blood and she enjoyed it. Deep inside she regretted it but she couldn’t help but enjoy the warmth of her dead boyfriend’s blood. She growled with joy and tore Dazz into pieces, having each one of them with relish.

Others could hear Dazz’s death. Fortunately when they reached the shore, they found a ship passing by. They boarded the ship and were the only survivors from the Creepy Island. They would live to tell the story although no one would believe it…

The Mystery of the Creepy Island – More Beasts

The next morning Dazz was nowhere to be found. There was a note beside Rachel which said, “I’m changing pretty quick. I don’t want to be trouble for you guys. Kill the Doc and save me. I’ll be around you but at a safe distance so that I don’t hurt you all. Be safe. Take care my love.” This made Rachel both angry and worried. She had to hurry now or she’ll lose her only love.

She stopped crying and clearing her throat she asked Natalie, “So how do we kill it? I mean Dr. Dakash? How do we kill Dr. Dakash?”

“According to this book by a silver knife.”

“Now where are we going to find a silver knife?”

Sam and Natasha walked towards them. Rajesh asked, “Where the fuck were you guys? I was worried sick. I thought the Doc ate you up or something.”

“We were sightseeing and guess what we found?” said Natasha.

“A silver knife?” asked Rajesh.

Sam said, “Something better. Last night I was awake and I saw Dazz running away. I thought I should follow him. Maybe he was going to the doc…”

“…and I saw him going so I thought of following him to make sure he doesn’t get into trouble.” said Natasha.

“Oh cut to the chase now!!!” said Rajesh.

“Ok,” said Sam, “As you already know Dazz is faster than normal humans now so I couldn’t keep up but I found something. I found an entrance to an underground bunker of some sorts. It had lots and lots of food and ammunition supplies. Wanna go check it out? Maybe we find some silver knives too… What do you say?”

“Not a bad idea, ” said Natalie.

Silver Ammunition

They followed Sam into the bunker. As he was saying, plenty of food and ammunition was stacked there in case of emergencies. Luthor found the power supply’s main switch. As soon as power was clicked on a clip started playing on a big LCD screen on their left. Dr. Dakash was speaking. He said, “This new gene we developed is acting like a virus and somehow its superstitious. The subject is acting as a werewolf from the movies. It hates being touched with silver and some of our subjects even died from silver bullets.”

“One of our operatives were bitten by one subject three days from now and he became exactly as them yesterday night which had a full moon. From earlier biting incidents it was found out that if the biter dies, so does its genes from the bitten. Typical werewolves directly from the book.”

“I’ve made some changes in the formula of the gene. Maybe now it will be stable and make the animals somewhat human with brains and power to control their hunger. If this is successful then we have an immortal soldier with us.”

“I am going to administer this on me. In case someone is watching this video, it means something has gone terribly wrong and I’m one of those monsters now. To kill me or any of the escaped werewolves use the silver ammunition in this bunker. Bullets will make the beast slow for a while but you can only kill it by using the silver sword. May God be with you.” The video ended.

Luthor said, “Okay everyone! Arm yourselves. I’ll take the sword. Let’s do this!”

Rajesh went to the farthest corner of the bunker to get him the Bazooka. The Bazooka was in the dark part of the bunker.

More Beasts behind Rajesh

Suddenly Rajesh’s cry was heard and he came running back towards them. On his tail was a werewolf. He jumped high and caught Rajesh and tore him into pieces. Natasha was quick to fire a bullet to the beast’s head. The beast screamed in pain and anger but he kept coming.

The others joined Natasha and fired their firearms. When the wolf was completely immobilized, Luthor decapitated the beast. There was a sigh of relief. Suddenly from the dark parts of the bunker they could see deadly red eyes. Out of nowhere an army of werewolves was coming towards them.

Sam made everyone get out but he stayed there and closed the bunker door. He knew the place was full of explosives and silver. An idea struck his mind. He could see a hand grenade in his range. Then he reached for it and took off the lid. The werewolves attacked him like hungry lions tearing him apart. His screams could be heard uptop. Natasha was screaming and crying for Luthor to let her go.

She wanted to go to her brother and save him but it was too late. The earth below them quaked and there was an explosion sound to be heard. The bunker door flung open and flames of an explosion were to be seen. Luthor left Natasha. She screamed in pain. Her brother was her only family and because of her curiosity he was dead. She would never forgive herself for this.  Rachel and Natalie gave her the courage to carry on and they returned to the hut

The Mystery of Creepy Island – The Hut

The ground was not safe for them anymore. They had to either climb up the trees and stay there or make a tree house. No one amongst them knew how to make one. Neither did they know how to climb trees. They decided to find some good cave where the creature wouldn’t find them.

They had nowhere to go so they kept walking in a direction Luthor thought was the North. It was night soon. Rachel saw something but she had to make sure she saw it right. She asked Natalie, “Dazz is changing so that means he can see and hear things much more clearer and sharper than normal humans?”

“Yes,” said Natalie.

Then she asked Dazz to have a look at something she thought was a light from a lamp at some height. Dazz confirmed that it was a light coming from a hut on a tree. Luthor made a run for it but Dazz had the power of an animal now. He beat Luthor to the hut. Others reached slowly. Now the hut was visible to all of them.

It was weak as it was made of hay bound together by ropes standing on a few bamboo sticks. There was an electrical lamp functioning there. Everyone climbed up but Dazz. When Rachel asked why he said, “I can’t put all of you in danger. Who knows what I’ll become in the next few hours? Besides you need an alarm if there is danger nearby. I’ll warn you guys. I won’t be able to sleep anyhow so it’s better to be the guarding dog.”

Without saying anything Rachel went in. There was no bed and the floor was wooden. Natasha and Rachel were tired. They had no choice so both of them  laid down on the floor and closed their eyes. Sam saw an old V.C.R. with a screen. He played a few cassettes kept there. The cassettes were records of some bizarre experiment on Dr. Dakash administered by the man himself.

It was some kind of drug to enhance a man’s senses and ability to run and jump. The blood from which the drug was derived from was a new form of animal. A hybrid of a wolf gamete and an alien gamete. The specimen was not stable but they got a few drops of its blood which helped them create this drug.

This drug directly attacked the D.N.A. of a person. Something went terribly wrong. The last tape dated the day before they came to this god forsaken island was not complete and it was bloody. It was the last day Dr. Dakash was human. They saw what Dazz was on the verge of becoming. They had to save him anyhow. Now they were not so sure about the full moon thing but still that was their last choice…

Far far from the hut on the shore of the island, the other group was celebrating. Miss Tanya was happy that she had saved at least a few children from that wretched monster. Suddenly she felt an excruciating pain go through her stomach. She looked down and found an animal’s hand through her stomach. She died on the spot out of pain and shock. When the kids saw this they panicked and started running away here and there. Dr. Dakash enjoyed killing scared folk more. He was faster than them. One by one he ripped their bodies apart and had his midnight meal lavishly…

The Mystery of The Creepy Island – The Night

Soon night fell. They had to camp as there were many animals around. Fire could scare some off. So they made a fire and camped there. Natalie started searching something from her old books. She was already acting strange after she saw the claw mark on Dazz’s hand. She found it and screamed with horror. Hearing her cry everyone gathered around her. Luthor asked, “What happened love?”

“I found out what that mythical creature Dazz saw is called.”

“What?” asked everyone in horror.

“It is a werewolf! And soon Dazz will be one too. On the next full moon Dazz is going to forget that he is Dazz. We can still save him but we’ll have to kill the monster that scratched him before the full moon which is due next week.”

“Are you kidding me?” said Rachel, “You are saying that my Dazz is scratched by a werewolf?”

“Yes! If you don’t believe me. See the part where he was scratched. You’ll already find hair growing out at an unbelievable rate. Dazz why don’t you tell how you are feeling?”

Dazz said, “I’m feeling boiling hot.”

“Would you care to show us where you were scratched Dazz?” said Natalie.

He pulled up his sleeve. Natalie was right about the hair growth. It was nothing they had ever seen. The claw mark was still visible but there was hair all around it.

The Claw Mark

the werewolf claw mark
Tanya said, “Oh my God! If Natalie is right then Dazz would soon become a monster. I am not going to die here on this wretched island. If you want to help Dazz than stay here and help him. Those who care for their life follow me. We are getting as far away from this beast as we can right now!”

Luthor stayed because of Natalie, Rachel and Dazz had to stay. Courtney left and while leaving she said, “Sorry Rachel. As much as I love you and your guy, I love my life more so I’ll be going. Natasha was curious about this creature so Sam had to stay back with her. Rajesh also stayed back with them to help. Even if he didn’t know any of them, He valued life and wanted to save Dazz’s life. The others ran off with Ms. Tanya like cowards.

Not too far from them Dr. Dakash was watching their every move. He was happy that the group split up…
