"WE'RE GONNA NEED A SPOT LIGHT"
Night
An alarm woke Kayla and Hope from where they had fallen asleep in Hope's bed. Both girls looked at each other, eyes wide, alert.
"Come on" Hope told her.
Kayla and Hope put their robes atop their PJ's, running down the stairs.
~8~
Hope and Kayla came across Alaric and Dorian.
"Sounds like the trap worked" Hope told them.
Dorian held a crossbow, loading it. Alaric loaded and charged a shot gun. Kayla and Hope grabbed a sword.
They walked away.

Outside
Alaric, Kayla, Hope and Dorian walked through the woods outside the school on their way to find the monster that came for the urn.
"I know this is important, but you couldn't have put pants on first?" Kayla asked.
"Little early for snark, Kayla" Alaric told her.
"Any guesses on what famous monster from filmland we get to slay today?" Dorian asked.
Alaric scoffed "With our luck, it'll be Cthulhu" They stopped walking at the sight in front of them, seeing a white horse, surprised and skeptical "False alarm" Alaric walked closer "It's just a horse" The others followed, even more cautious "Must've gotten out of the stables and wandered across the barrier spell"
Hope tilted her head "Except we don't have a white horse"
They stopped at the barrier wall. The horse turned to face them. It was a unicorn.
Kayla and Hope gasped in awe.
The unicorn started to walk toward them.
Alaric aimed his gun.
"Hey, wait, wait!" Both girls told him, stopping in front of him and the gun.
"Hold your fire" Kayla told him.
"It's a monster, girls" Dorian told them "It's here to take the artifact"
"You're not seriously suggesting we kill a unicorn?" Hope told them incredulously.
"I'm suggesting we don't give it a pass because it's cute" Dorian told them.
