[Jojobean]

[Eni]

i don't mind not doing it. But i can also do it if you guys want lol either way works for me =p but yeah no worries we won't post anything for now

[Jojobean]

Ok I posted the final task. Eni I'm fine with you doing the bonus :D

[Eni]

lol oh boy my imagination hasn't been the best.. but here's what i got so far:

It had been 6months since Carrie and her brother Max, THE PRODIGAL SON of the family became BLOOD BOUND. She still felt some effects of the FLU, but most of it was gone.
They had been on THE ROAD ever since. Right now they were on their way to the CITY OF NIGHT again. Always that damned place.
They had some friends who asked for help.
They played an online game called THE 5TH WAVE and some mysterious things had been happening there.
Carrie had looked into it and discovered there was an eBully terrorizing the players. So she created a character there called INVISIBLE BOY and acted as bait to see if the eBully showed himself.
And he did. His nickname was ZOM-B BABY and he was a nasty one. She had tracked him down and found out he lived in the CITY OF LIGHT so they went to pay him a visit.
They stopped at a motel called SIX WAYS FROM SUNDAY to ask for directions. The owner was a nice ole country man and he was very chatty.
Max asked him if he knew how to catch the right road and the man started on saying "I'M A STRANGER HERE MYSELF..." and as he continued to talk Carrie started to go OUT OF FOCUS.
This place brought back a lot of memories. She started to think back to that winter.. and the SPIDER'S BITE and Dr Dani and how it had been THE LAST WINTER OF DANI LANCING.
Carrie shacked herself back to reality. No point on dwelling on the past. Their friends needed their help and she had an eBully to take care of.

I tried to keep it as a sequel to your story Joanne =p but let me know if you guys want to change something or if i should go on a different road or something =)

[Eni]

Stayed up late and finished another book. Managed to go way past my goal! Listening to audio books while doing other things really helped. Hopefully it was a good enough push to get us higher on the ranks.

Either way, great job team!
