Chapter 1 -Kittenmander

       Prolouge

You’ve most likely been to summer island.In the summer,you might have travelled to the beach and swam shiningly in the pool.When you walked lightly on the path of streets there would have been an ice-cream van right in front of you having your favourite flavours,massage chairs sitting outside for you and rock-climbing to get fun exercise.You were probably have surprised yourself to explore a 5 star hotel near the beach with fish tanks all around and good place for a photo.It’s that kind of fun place… in the summer.
But in the winter,you probably have felt the cold breeze float in the air.You should try going there when the snowflakes the streets and cars in a frozen den.You should be there when the forest turns gold and the fog smothers in the wind.Very few people take a visit.Even the locals stay far from the beach… and some say,they have a good reason.

Chapter 1

My name is Mayla and I work in a 5 star hotel near the beach.Most people usually call me May.I am the hotel’s manager.I check the cameras,I tidy up the rooms and even sweep up the floor before I leave.A visitor that took a visit here told me that I was a manager not a caretaker and this was a terrible job but I still loved it.I have a tiny room for whenever I work over time or when I can’t go out in the winter,I can keep myself warm by the fireplace over here.In the summer,we get tons of visitors.It is not so busy in the winter and even somedays no one even visits.
As we were about to close,a girl tapped on the window and whispered, ‘Let me in now!” I give a glance over the window, wondering what my next movement would be.It is midnight and the hotel doors are about to close.She looks so freezing that i open the window and she slips in,urgent to be inside.She gives a stare with her lighting eyes as she jumps into my skyships air box,out of breath.Instantly,she whispers,”Hide me!”

 

Before I carry on with the rest of the story,there is a story about our town that I should probably tell you.It happened long ago that no one even remembers any of the details about it.Beach legends tell of a scary creature that lives under the beach and comes at night and through the roads.So the story goes on,it was recognised as a variety of mander known as kittenmander and only liked the dark sky and storming weather. It smelled like rotten seaweed and the feet of frogs.It left a course of footprints as a  panda running through the forest.They say at midnight,the kittenamander running through the roads,screeching.When homeowners heard the loud sounds,they would close the windows,curtains and lock all doors.
Some say that the animal must have been starving.Some people say might have been in pain.Some say it was a lost pet who wandered through the streets night and day to find the owners.I’ve never ever heard it.Though,in the dark,in lightning weather,the wind and rain make rapid sounds that might be for mistakes. “What are you hiding from?” I whispered to her. “What’s wrong?” “I’ve seen it!” she hisses “Take a look-close the windows and curtains and lock the doors!”
